December 4 - Update on the Egyptian Elections; An "Occupy L.A." Organizer Speaks Out; The Pakistanis Fired First

Full Program	LISTEN TO FULL PROGRAM
Part 1	We begin and go to Cairo for an update on the elections in Egypt with Yasmine El Rashidi, a former Middle East correspondent for the Wall Street Journal and the author of the e-book “The Battle For Egypt”. We discuss the strong showing by the Muslim Brotherhood and the fundamentalist Salafist in the first round of the parliamentary elections and look ahead to the next critical and contentious steps, which are the drafting of a new constitution and the presidential elections.
Part 2	Then we are joined in the studio by Julie Levine who teaches at the USC School of Social Work and has been involved in the “Occupy LA’ movement since its beginning. She discusses the alleged mistreatment and police brutality the occupiers have endured since the police raid and the wider issues of the future direction of the occupy movement and the 99%’s relationship to the corporate state.
Part 3	Then finally Chris Fair joins us to examine what really happened in the recent clash between NATO forces and the Pakistanis in which 24 Pakistani soldiers were killed. We discuss why President Obama has not apologized to the Pakistanis because they opened fire first on the NATO and Afghan troops across the border and when NATO gave the Pakistani military headquarters the coordinates to return fire, there was no objection. We assess whether the U.S. will again turn a blind eye in order to open up supply routes into Afghanistan or take a firmer stand.
