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.

For more than thirty years, millions of desperate people from around the world - the sick, the crippled, the terminally ill -- have made a pilgrimage to the remote high plateaus of central Brazil in search of a cure. They travel to see a man who is said to have miraculous healing powers and can supposedly perform surgeries without pain or even anesthesia. His acolytes call him 'John of God.' In a February 10, 2005 report, ABC News traveled to Brazil to find out whether these incredible stories could possibly be true, whether 'John of God' is, as his believers claim, a miracle man, or, as his detractors argue, a charlatan. Now ABC News revisits some of the unforgettable people featured in the original report - including an actress with breast cancer who rejected surgery and a San Francisco attorney with Lou Gehrig's disease -- to see whether they found the miracle cures they so desperately sought.
