...effects of a U.S. war while it is ongoing. Most of the participants were screened within three or four months of returning from battle, when memories--and any psychological wounds--were still fairly fresh. "One of our goals is to describe the onset of PTSD," says Lieut. Colonel Carl Castro, a Walter Reed psychologist, who led the study along with Dr. Charles Hoge. Many experts believe that early identification of symptoms and early intervention could help prevent the kind of massive psychological devastation seen in veterans of the Vietnam War. Some 30% of Vietnam vets eventually suffered PTSD--a grab...

...asked me to go back to Cuba and re-balance things. Instead, I ended up making another movie. I understand what HBO did. I went back with the same crew, and Castro generously gave us another 30 hours in which we filmed a much more intense, more narrow discussion about the dissidents. I questioned him as hard as I possibly could. He responded clearly to the world's condemnation, and you see a man who comes across to many as rigid and unbending...
