  • Info on Podcast #123 Published on 3012 April 2010 by admin in Podcast Info -- Jason Leopold: BushCo knew most Gitmo prisoners were innocent; Prof. John Laprise: Pres. Ford OK’d wiretaps, break-ins. Leopold is Deputy Managing editor of Truthout.org, and details Lawrence Wilkerson’s sworn declaration that Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and others knew that most Guantanamo inmates were innocent of any terrorism crimes, even as they repeatedly lied that all at Gitmo were the “worst of the worst”. The lies continue, with Obama dropping the nomination of Dawn Johnsen to the Justice Dept. following Liz Cheney’s smear of the “al Qaeda 8″. Prof. Laprise of Northwestern has researched the history of computers in the White House, and reports that documents from the Ford administration (with younger Cheney and Rumsfeld in key posts) authorized break-ins and electronic surveillance, after the Nixon blunders but before the 1978 FISA law on wiretapping. Section 2 of the podcast starts at about 41:38
  • Info on Podcast #125 Published on 16 April 2010 by admin in Podcast Info -- Joshua Kors: Shameful treatment of wounded GI’s; Gen. Robert Gard on Obama’s nuclear weapons summit. Kors is a great journalist with a new cover story for The Nation that exposes outrageous treatment of wounded Iraq combat vets. This time, it’s the case of Sgt. Chuck Luther, injured in a mortar blast, who was treated like a Gitmo prisoner when he sought treatment for the injuries, and pressured to accept a discharge that said his war injuries were caused a case of “personality disorder” that preceded his service. Gen. Gard is an elder warrior (Korea, Vietnam) who is Chair of the Center for Arms Control and Non-Proliferation. He comments on the 47-nation conference about loose nukes held in Washington in mid-April, the new START treaty with Russia and its flaws, Bush’s blunder on our nuclear deal with India, US failure to expose and understand the A.Q. Khan network, and related issues. The second segment starts about 28:30

  Papantonio: The Tea Party Clown Car Are the Tea Partiers really better educated and wealthier than the rest of society? If you mis-read the recent New York Times poll, you’d probably think that, but the truth is that the people who are backing the Tea Party movement are the ones with the education and money. Mike Papantonio appears on Fox Business’s Happy Hour to talk about why these wealthy backers have the good sense to stay away from the Tea Party protesters, who seem to be getting crazier by the day.
