But with many voters either opposed to Australia's decision to join the war or uneasy about leaving the fight early, both parties have sought to keep issues of national security out of the headlines. Howard is pushing his record of prolonged economic prosperity. "Australian families...
...tapes chronicle the efforts of American documentary filmmaker Don Larson, dazed and embittered by his grief over losses in the Sept. 11 attacks, to understand, record and possibly join the hunt for Osama bin Laden. He is accompanied by his translator, Wali Zarif, and a curiously laconic cameraman who is either a failed attempt at comic relief or simply an emblem of the film’s utter weirdness...
