Lynn Harris & Dr. Elizabeth Miller: Reproductive Coercion
July 27, 2010Bristol Palin's infamous pregnancy has gone from being an example of conservative values hypocrisy to a reality TV show. Though we hear about many women who aren't educated on contraception or mysteriously "forget" to take their birthcontrol, we rarely hear the otherside: men who hoard birthcontrol to deliberately impregnate their sexual partners.Katrina vanden Heuvel, Reproductive Coercion, and Afghanistan
July 26, 2010New documents released by the site WikiLeaks provide an increasingly clear--and chilling--picture of the war in Afghanistan. Katrina vanden Heuvel notes that the documents, released simultaneously by The Guardian, the New York Times, and Germany's Der Spiegel, as well as in full by WikiLeaks, are an example of "asymmetrical media," allowing the public to access the raw documents as well as the parts filtered by the traditional press.Got Docs? Gang Intervention
July 18, 2008In Los Angeles, gang violence is a part of daily life. Last year there were 296 gang related deaths in the city. The gap between Westside and Watts is staggering. There is a one in 250 chance of being murdered in Watts versus a one in 100,000 chance in Westside. In this documentary in-progress, Cecilia Peck explores LA’s gang culture and an effort to change one neighborhood at a time.The Dark Side with Jane Mayer and Michael Ratner
July 18, 2008For those who saw the response to the Trade Center attacks as an opportunity for the U.S. to uphold international law, this country's conduct has been a failure of profound historic dimension as torture, secret detention sites and indefinite detention has become the rule of law for the first time in our history. Some accuse the Bush administration of war crimes. We're joined by Jane Mayer, who has been investigating and reporting on the war on terror. A staff writer for The New Yorker, Mayer has a new book out this week, The Dark Side: The Inside Story of How The War on Terror Turned into a War on American Ideals. We're also joined by Michael Ratner, president of the Center for Constitutional Rights. He successfully represented Guantanamo detainees in the U.S. Supreme Court as they sought their legal rights in court. His book, The Trial of Donald Rumsfeld, is out this September.July 17, 2008: The Dark Side
