President Obama visits CIA Headquarters.
Here's what's coming up today:
In our first hour, we'll talk with former CIA agent Robert Baer, and former deputy director Richard Kerr about President Obama's decision to release detailed secret memos on harsh interrogation techniques. The memo reveals that CIA interrogators waterboarded one suspect 183 times and another suspect, 83 times. Is this declassification a first step toward welcome transparency, or a helpful assist to terrorists? We'll hear from both sides. The end of that hour? Well, it's a surprise... which is code for we're still working on that segment of the show. As always, keep an eye on the Talk of the Nation page for the latest.
Spring has sprung, and along with it the inspiration to clean. Last Sunday, The Washington Post featured in their "Outlook" section some serious spring cleaning ideas of a different sort. Listed in an article entitled "10 Things We Should Toss" were items such as throw out the Vice Presidency, trash the prom, toss your television. So now it's your turn. What institution, tradition or person do you want to target for spring cleaning? Here's the caveat: It has to be something you have a personal or professional connection to. Call in or send us an email.
Then, at the end of the hour, we'll talk about the power consumers have over product branding. Recently, Tropicana spent millions of dollars to revamp its image, only to scrap the new look when customers revolted. We'll talk with creative director Scott Montgomery about how image consultants no longer have the final say over product branding.
