Thanks, good to know.  I'm not a Linux user, but I was told that by one who is. 
 Whether
you'll thank me once you get through watching it is, however, a different 
matter.  But you
might enjoy playing the State Secrets Drinking Game when you watch it.

The video in question is an .mp4 file.  Firefox v17.0.1 supports
playing it back (or at least, I'm watching it right now) and I don't
have any video playback plugins installed or running.

The DownloadHelper Firefox add-on is merrily downloading the video to
a file on my hard drive at this time at the same time
(ue8827m7_rs04jin1_h264_298K.mp4, thus sayeth the uscourts.gov
webserver), where it can be saved for posterity and played back in
Microsoft's media player, VLC, or what have you.
