...Tucker (NBC, 8:30 p.m.) Let it not be said that this story about a hormonally charged boy and his wacky family is an unoriginal rip-off of "Malcolm in the Middle." No, in an innovative twist, the makers of this sitcom deftly took out everything imaginative, funny and good-hearted about "Malcolm," replacing it with insult comedy and erection jokes. As the title child, Eli Marienthal is the most irritating kid on television since Hallie Eisenberg made her first Pepsi commercial. If this series lasts more than two episodes, somebody needs to be horsewhipped...
...heads. Micheal Jones, a staff member of the HLS Human Rights Program, read a eulogy that began “today we mourn the death of a living document” as students dropped daisies on a pile of dirt below a cardboard headstone that read “RIP the Constitution.” The mock funeral took place after an open-mic forum in which speakers expressed their views on U.S. treatment of detainees, and their opposition to or support for the Guantanamo bill.

One of the videos, titled Rip It Up-a 4-min. montage of still and moving images set to rock music-is credited to "3 Troop B Squad 2 Cav" and is followed by the letters V-23, a possible reference to the squad's call sign...
...While Rip It Up includes images from U.S. military operations, it chiefly shows Australians on operations and in their barracks-and includes the image of the soldier aiming at a crouching man in Arab dress. Another video, 3 Troop, shows images of a soldier apparently practicing quick-draw techniques with his pistol; the sequence ends with him pointing the gun directly at the camera. While evidence of lax weapons-handling practices emerged at the current military inquiry into Kovco's death, questions remain over whether the commission conducting the inquiry was aware of all relevant soldier-made videos.
