Full Program	LISTEN TO FULL PROGRAM
Part 1	We begin with an update from Egypt after a bloody day of street battles in which either 150 or more than 2,000 died depending upon whether you believe the military or the Muslim Brotherhood who were forcibly removed from their encampments. Jawad Nabulsi, one of the organizers of the Egyptian revolution two years ago joins us from Cairo, which is under a curfew, to discuss a polarized country where there will either be a restoration of democracy or a civil war.
Part 2	Then we speak with Adam Klasfeld, a reporter for Courthouse News, who has been covering the Bradley Manning trial from the beginning. We discuss testimony by Bradley Manning, who is facing 90 years in military prison, delivered in an unsworn statement that appeared to contradict much of what his defense has been arguing, in which Bradley Manning apologized saying “I’m sorry my actions hurt people” and “I’m sorry that it hurt the United States”.
Part 3	Then finally, we look into the sentencing of ex-Congressman Jesse Jackson Junior in Washington D.C. for a lavish spending spree of $750,000 in campaign funds, and the sentencing of his wife, who will serve her prison term after his, who plead guilty for not reporting $600,000 in taxable income. Katherine Skiba, an award-winning journalist with the Chicago Tribune, who has been covering the trial, joins us to discuss the crimes and the punishment of a once-promising elected official.
