REPORT FROM IRAQ

As leaders around the world are condemning this week's attack that has left at least 20 dead and more buried in the rubble at the UN headquarters in Iraq, many wonder what this means for the international effort to rebuild the country. Recent bombings have led to speculation of an organized fighting strategy to reverse successes in Iraqi nation building. Do the attacks on the UN headquarters and Jordanian embassy, strikes on water and oil pipelines, and almost daily attacks on U.S. soldiers signal the start of a new kind of conflict? BBC correspondent Caroline Hawley reports to NOW from Iraq to assess the situation on the ground and examine what recent events indicate for the future of rebuilding Iraq.

LOSING ACCESS?

More and more throughout the United States local cable systems are part of big media conglomerates. But, many say that cable companies are no longer interested in addressing the needs of local communities even though community access media provides millions of Americans with educational opportunities, access to local government, and a forum for a local voice. NOW looks at the future of community access media in America, spotlighting the legal battle that the city of San Jose, California is in with media giant Comcast over funding that may jeopardize its ability to continue providing quality local programming.

TRUTH AND LIES

NEW YORK TIMES journalist Bob Herbert recounts the "Tulia madness", the July 1999 pre-dawn raid in Tulia, TX that saw 46 people - most of them black - wrongfully arrested on drug charges. Despite the fact that no evidence was recovered - no drugs, no weapons, no large stashes of cash - the raid resulted in 38 convictions and severe jail sentences, many on the testimony of a single law enforcement officer. Herbert, who brought national attention to this travesty of justice, tells Bill Moyers about some of the victims of the "Tulia madness" and what in our national drug policy made it possible for one man to ruin the lives of so many.

DAVID COLE

On Tuesday, Attorney General John Ashcroft embarked on a national speaking tour to defend the cornerstone of the Bush administration's antiterrorism efforts - the USA patriot act. It's what some critics have called a dangerous expansion of law enforcement powers at the expense of civil liberties. But how do we balance liberty and security? Television journalist Juju Chang interviews David Cole, a professor of law at Georgetown University who has been called one of America's greatest voices for civil liberties about his concerns about how our country's is fighting the war on terrorism and how this battle has affected our democracy.
