Part 1

We begin with Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson, who was Secretary of State Colin Powell’s Chief of Staff and discuss the nomination of Senator John Kerry to be the next Secretary of State, which will apparently sail through the Senate. Meanwhile the expected nomination of Senator Chuck Hagel to be the next Secretary of Defense is under intense fire from the AIPAC lobby and neoconservatives who are desperately trying to torpedo Hagel’s chance of heading up the Pentagon. lawrence wilkerson

Part 2

Then we continue the conversation and speak with Roger Morris who served on the National Security Council under presidents Johnson and Nixon until resigning over the invasion of Cambodia. We look into the evolution of Lieutenant John Kerry who testified against the Vietnam War that he fought in before the very same Senate Foreign Relations he later came to head. We will also discuss the explosive story the press are ignoring; the bombshell tape Bob Woodward uncovered that ended up in the Style pages of the Washington Post revealing how Fox News tried to run General Petraeus for president.

Part 3

Then finally we speak with the Alternet’s Washington Bureau Chief Adele Stan who attended the NRA’s press conference where they proposed posting armed guards at every school in America. We discuss why the gun lobby that has only 4.3 million members is able to wield so much power on Capitol Hill and her article at Alternet.org “NRA’s Bizarre Press Conference: More Guns Now!
