ABC News enters the world of the paranormal, examining two supernatural mysteries that have believers convinced and skeptics crying "bunk." Penn State student Cindy Song disappeared without a trace. With no strong leads, detectives turned to a paranormal source for assistance. ABC News follows along with North Hollywood 'psychic detective' Carla Baron as she tries to communicate with the missing woman's spirit and finally bring closure to her tragic story. ABC News tells the story of a young Lafayette, LA, boy whose parents believe he is the reincarnation of a dead World War II fighter pilot. At the age of two, James Leininger began to have vivid dreams about crashing in an airplane. He also inexplicably seemed to know details about old fighter planes. After doing some research, parents Andrea and Bruce Leininger became convinced their son had a previous life as James Huston, who was shot down during a mission over the Pacific. ABC News reports why some people-including the dead man's sister-believe this is a completely plausible explanation for the boy's strange behavior, while others says it's hokum. Also, ABC News reports that a Denver-based mining company may have provided funding to a brutal Philippine terrorist group with links to al Qaeda. Allan Laird, a former executive with the Echo Bay mining company-which has since merged with Canada's Kinross Corporation - alleges that, in the mid 1990s, the company paid the Abu Sayyaf and other groups upwards of $2 million ...

Life, Death and the bottom line, the case against doctor assisted suicide. When you look at this issue from the perspective of a suffering individual, it is difficult not to be moved by the argument that physicians should have the legal right to offer that assistance. ABC News broadens that perspective to include the views of those who fear that legalizing assisted suicide can unleash some very frightening consequences. We're all too familiar with the looming medical crisis that may come some day when tens of millions of baby boomers approach the end of their lives, even as the government's financial resources are not keeping pace. There is likely to be growing pressure to ration health care and to cut costs. Helping a terminally ill person commit suicide is a lot cheaper than caring for that patient during what can be an extended period of dying. ABC News has gathered the views of a number of thoughtful people, nurses, doctors, political activists, people involved in caring for the elderly and controlling their pain, physical and spiritual. These are all people who oppose legalizing physician-assisted dying.Assisted Suicides is a three part set that explores the fight to legalize assisted suicide, including a look into the lives of people fighting for the right to die.

From the PBS website: With the United States Army deployed in a dozen hotspots around the world-on constant alert in Afghanistan and taking casualties almost every day in Iraq-some current and former officers now say the army is on the verge of being broken. The man responsible, according to those officers, is a secretary of defense who came into the Pentagon determined to transform the shape of the military. In "Rumsfeld's War," FRONTLINE and The Washington Post join forces for the first time to investigate Donald Rumsfeld's contentious battle with the Pentagon bureaucracy to assert civilian control of the military and remake the way America fights. This report traces Donald Rumsfeld's career from his time as an adviser to President Nixon to his rise as the oft-seen and well-known face of the George W. Bush administration during the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. In interviews with key administration officials, military leaders, and reporters from The Washington Post, the documentary examines how a secretary of defense bent on reform became a secretary of war accused of ignoring the advice of his generals.

It was the biggest diamond heist in history, a brazen $100 million robbery. ABC News reports on how a group of cunning thieves was able to break into one of the world's most secure locations, protected by a supposedly impenetrable security system, and make off with a fortune in jewels. Authorities say a loosely-knit group of specialists, from safe-crackers to get-away drivers, spent two years devising the intricate plan to break into the vault in the world's largest diamond trading district in Antwerp, Belgium. Investigators feared it might be a perfect crime, but good fortune-and unlikely clues that included a half-eaten salami sandwich-would eventually lead them to a suspect.Correspondent: Jay Schadler Airdate: 2/12/2004When sold by Amazon.com, this product will be manufactured on demand using DVD-R recordable media.

The annual Hajj, or pilgrimage to Islam's holiest sites in Mecca, is one of the central obligations of Islam, the fifth and final pillar of the religion that rose out of the Arabian Peninsula in the 7th century A.D. The pilgrimage to the birthplace of Islam is a once-in-a-lifetime obligation that every Muslim must make if he or she is physically able and can afford it. But even those minimal qualifiers have been thrown to the winds every year for the past 14 centuries as elderly Muslims link up with thousands of impoverished believers spending their hard-earned lifesavings for the pilgrimage. Joining this vast, frail, underprivileged mass of humanity, is a mix of wealthy, empowered, but highly divergent pilgrim. According to the Koran, Abraham was instructed to bring his wife, Hagar, and their child Ishmael to Arabia from Palestine to protect them from the jealousy of Abraham's first wife, Sarah. Abraham later built a shrine to Allah. Muslims believe the Prophet Abraham constructed a small stone structure called the Kaaba, or cube, the earliest structure designed to be a symbolic gathering site of all believers. The Kaaba today is located at the center of the Grand Mosque or the Masjid ul-Haram.
