Politics: A topic we are stuck with these days, as some candidates (Edwards) campaign through the night in Iowa. Join us for our projections, discussion of caucases, and banter as this election year finally gets off the ground.
Torture Tapes: A large area of concern, and we use three articles as our basis for discussion. Marjorie Cohn's "The Torture Tape Cover-Up- How High Does it go?", published in Wednesday's
www.counterpunch.org, is an excellent analysis of the events leading up to the decision to destroy said tapesThomas Kean and Lee Hamilton's op-ed "Stonewalled by the C.I.A.", published Wednesday in the N.Y. Times, is a damning condemnation, considering those two gentlemen served as chair and vice-chair of the 911 Commission which requested such information from the C.I.A. two years before the tpaes were destroyed. Lawyer World Land's "John H. Durham To Investigate Missing Torture Tapes" submitted by David Swanson in Wednesday's
www.afterdowningstreet.org is an interesting description of the Assistant U.S. Attorney appointed by A.G. Michael Mukasey to investigate this mess. Listen up!
Americans Imprisoned by Lies: Once again, Paul Craig Roberts, former Assistant Secretary of the Treasury under President Reagan, minces no words. This time, his "We Are All Prisoners Now- The Great American Lock-Up", published Wednesday in
www.counterpunch.org, hits us up front and center with the theory that those in Washington elected to represent us allow laws to be passed that allow the subjective opinions of bureaucrats control our very freedom of speech and assembly. A must-listen segment, to be sure.
Comic Relief: Join us as we share some of the 2007 Darwin Awards.
We plan to return on January 7. E-mail us with your comments and spread the word! Thanks for your continuing support.
