		<description>&lt;p&gt;Really?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;How about Alive in Kosovo?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A million people got chased from there the past 2 decades by the albanians and the Kristallnach (this one made the german one look like a picnic), then our bombing helped chased another 300,000 serbs, jews, gypsies and other dirty races and now you have pockets of the remainder which live like cattle behind barbed wires.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;How about Alive in Haiti were we kidnapped that countries president and supported armed murderers *who we armed)?
Kevin Pina does an amazing job there but of course he is not going by the party line so he might not be ripe for this..&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Things are hard in Baghdad? No shit?
Nothing to see or hear there, bomb the crap out of country and that&#039;s what happens.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Maybe its good in a way to see the misery the US instills in countries around teh world (my best man is chilean so sept11 has a different meaning to them).
We play god in so many countries that we totally forget the effects of our lies in places like the balkans or persian gulf.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Short of a couple of bombing raids over Boston, maybe seeing what we brought will kick someone into realizing what happened.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Then I remember that there is probably half the country taht still believes taht Saddam was responsible for 911, so probably not.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;We are not actively licensing our content to anyone at the moment. We are pursuing deals with a variety of companies in the UK and here in the US.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In the past Sky News, the BBC, and ITN all approached us about licensing content. We struck a deal with BBC Newsnight to co-produce a documentary with them, and with SkyNews we licensed 5 of our episodes, with creative control, both for a hefty sum.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Right now we are trying to figure out the best ways to approach these and other organizations and are working on possibilities for establishing an ongoing relationship with one or more companies, depending on the rights therein.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We drive a pretty hard bargain because we work in a pretty tough environment and, in my opinion, are producing work you can&#039;t find ANYWHERE else, aside from some Arab media companies(not Al-Jazeera) and local Iraqi TV stations.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Our goal is to make this work and continue expanding to other bureaus, we are right now considering a local project here in Philadelphia where we&#039;re based, as well as a number of other options overseas.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I can&#039;t speak about Sarah&#039;s role at Veoh, but with Small World News she has been essential to helping us learn to cut deals that are beneficial to both parties and has been aggressive in the pursuit of new deals and publicity.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;AiB is one of the most important creations in the nascent social media movement, and yet it can barely stay afloat.  Ironically, it&#039;s both the easiest to promote through word-of-mouth and, understandably, the hardest to monetize, because American companies don&#039;t want to invest in war journalism any more than insulated web viewers want to see war journalism.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;But the solution is simple (on paper): Individuals need to be able to micro-pay for the news, information and entertainment they consume online, as a way to keep these media creators in business.  If we hadn&#039;t began with the concept of &quot;web = free,&quot; it would be much easier to make the transition to micro-paid personalized networks.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Let&#039;s take the power from the advertisers and invest our resources directly in the media creators who power our lives.  (And, as in the case of AiB, let&#039;s strive to power our lives with knowledge, not fluff.)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&quot;Alive in Baghdad is a challenging project to support financially particularly in the VC community; it just requires creative models for financing.  We are looking at every source we can!&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
