November 5th Show
On this first show of the week, guests provide insight on the crisis in Pakistan, and that country's position in the war on terror and how the United States can influence the region to stay involved. Following that discussion, author Garry Wills is on our opinion page. In his op-ed that appeared in Sunday's Los Angeles Times, he opines that religion has nothing to say on the issue of abortion. His article is entitled, Abortion Isn't a Religious Issue.
Pulitzer Prize winning historian Joseph Ellis will join us at the top of our second hour. In his new book entitled American Creation, Ellis explains how the achievements and failures of our founding fathers ultimately made perfect sense in an otherwise imperfect American republic. At the end of that hour, we'll talk with Kaj Larsen, a journalist for Current TV, and former military officer. He talks about his decision to pay $800 to have himself "waterboarded," a controversial interrogation technique that simulates the feeling of drowning. The technique is up for debate about whether or not it is a form of torture. Kaj Larsen's water-boarding video airs this Wednesday on Current TV....and he asks YOU to be the judge.
