Speaking of Iraq, there was a great interview on Fresh Air this week, with a guy from the State Department who spilled the beans on all the money they wasted pretending to rebuild Iraq. Some awesome stories of waste and incompetence, definitely worth grabbing the podcast.

BAd lieutenant is Kietel’s definitive role. horribly underrated. were you the one to recommend that, al? YEah, kind of like if he lived and told his tale at a bar then Jon listened to it and wrote it down.

Bad Lieutenant. a seriously fucked and demented Harvey Kietel. I wasn’t sure if it wasn’t crack he was putting in the pipe….. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0103759/

that could work. he tells the whole story of his downfall over the course of an evening at the bar. he loses his job, loses a few years to crack, then lives to tell the tale.

allow me to help.
Heart of darkness is told first person. the whole story is told by the captain as the crew waits for the tide to change in the thames river. that would work for you. the PI tells the whole story at the bar and you are the narrator who described how the PI tells the story.
Now, as I see it, something else is on the videotapes…not just sex. something that exposes mayors or police chiefs.
but if you can capture the voice of the junkie PI then you can piece together the story.
