Conversations with History - Mark Danner

"The Red Cross Report, the Torture Memos, and Political Accountability"
Mark Danner, Professor of Journalism, University of California, Berkeley

Conversations host Harry Kreisler welcomes writer Mark Danner for a discussion of his recent articles in the New York Review of Book on the torture policies of the Bush Administration. http://www.nybooks.com/articles/22530 The conversation addresses these topics: how interrogation turned to torture in response to the 911 attacks, the mind set of Cheney and Rumsfeld, the impact of the Church Committee reforms, the political dimensions of uncovering scandal in an empire that is also democracy, the implications of torture for American identity, and the politics and necessity of establishing accountability.

Good stuff- all for learning BUT-terrible TERRIBLE TERRIBLE most awful , horrid, putrid intro music- I thought it was from 1979... and I was around in 1979.. and I would have thought it was crap then. I nearly stopped watching it because the music was so grating!

If he would just get on board with 911 Truth scholarship, it would fill in a lot of gaps in his story. it's the missing piece of the puzzle that could explain a lot of things.

Just... wow...

I feel like I'm back in my childhood in the early 80s... and that if get up off the couch and walk to the TV to press on the buttons on it to change the channel... I'll be surfing through the Reading Rainbow, Familly Ties, You Can't Do That on Television, Computer Chronicles or maybe... hmm oh yeah... the BBC's Tripods!
