The link to watch opens
http://pentagonchannel.feedroom.com/index.jsp?fr_story=4eabd0f7870b47378f4b4fee86dfec80f3c6586e
which then redirects to
http://pentagonchannel.feedroom.com/notenabled_pentagon.jsp?miss=wr&fr=090105_122906_64213830x1060f8c4d03xw69e9#
which says "This site is designed for use with Windows Media Player 7.1 or
higher and Internet Explorer only."

I keep getting dns lookup errors. I'll try later.

In the old Netscape Tech Evangelism days we dealt with Feedroom sites fairly
often and got some resolution at least for Netscape 7 and Real. If they are only
supporting MSIE, then I would assume this is an older version. If they rely on
scripting the Windows Media player, then we might be hosed.
