'Sergio' makes clear how much was lost in Iraq Posted: 06 May 2010 12:00 AM PDT The documentary about the life and dramatic death of U.N. diplomat Sergio Vieira de Mello is told in gripping detail. Brazilian diplomat Sergio Vieira de Mello died on Aug. 19, 2003, after a truck bomb exploded just outside his office at the United Nations headquarters in Baghdad, leaving him to spend his last hours buried headfirst in a pile of rubble and bitter irony. De Mello, a high-ranking U.N. diplomat and internationally known "fixer," had not wanted to be in Baghdad. He took the job as U.N. Secretary General to Iraq at the behest of world leaders including then- President George W. Bush with an eye to overseeing a speedy end to the U.S. occupation. He did not support the war and was planning to issue a statement condemning the coalition for use of excessive force. He had already removed the tank and soldiers from the gate of the logistically vulnerable headquarters at the Canal Hotel because he felt their presence seemed to signal American control of the United Nations, something he most vociferously protested.

Kerry Washington on the movie mommy track Posted: 06 May 2010 12:00 AM PDT The actress is a principal in Rodrigo Garcia's drama 'Mother and Child.'
