ESRB Changes
Oblivion's Rating to M announces a change in the ESRB rating for The Elder
Scrolls IV: Oblivion to "M" for mature, the game had previously been rated "T"
(teen). Word is: "The content causing the ESRB to change the rating involves
more detailed depictions of blood and gore than were considered in the original
rating, as well as the presence of a locked-out art file or 'skin' that, if
accessed through a third party modification to the PC version of the game,
allows the user to play with topless versions of female characters."
Here's an interesting test: find a story published before 2001 mentioning the terrorist group (not just the word) Al Qaeda. You won't.
Al Qeada is a group term used to describe a huge number of terrorist groups (not even neccesseraliy linked!) which was only coined as such post 9/11. There is no 'group' called Al Qaeda (whatever spelling you use). It's a term the Pentagon 'made up' to conveniently lump together a large group of terrorists. They did this to have a media friendly buzzword. As such, one could even make the case that Al Qaeda has never killed a single american; various Jihadi groups of course have.
A good documentary to start with is The power of nightmares...mainly because the creator is well-respected and unlike Micheal Moore, he is know for meticulous research and factuality.
