Part 1	Los Angeles Times Middle East correspondent Borzou Deragahi who has been reporting on the revolution next door in Syria where there is a press blackout. With more demonstrations across Syria on Friday, in spite of murderous brutality from the Muhabarat, the secret police, and military intelligence officers, the unarmed Syrian people continue to challenge the callous and corrupt family clan who claim Syria for themselves.
Part 2	Jeff Abramson, the deputy director of the Arms Control Association joins us to discuss the boom in overseas sales for U.S. arms manufacturers who, faced with proposed defense cuts at home, are gearing up to sell their wares abroad, in spite of recent examples in Tunisia, Egypt and Bahrain where some of this lethal hardware ends up being used against the defenseless people.
Part 3	David Halperin, Director of Campus Progress at the Center For American Progress joins us to examine the Obama administration’s sell-out to lobbyists representing the for-profit college and university racketeers who live off your federal dollar that they charge back to unsuspecting students who end up with a worthless education and under a mountain of debt from student loans that, nationwide, now surpass all credit card debt.
