Reese Erlich: Conversations with Terrorists
November 10, 2010
"The word terrorism is meaningless," says journalist and author Reese Erlich, who points out that the definition has become so flexible, it can be applied to anything--including U.S. foreign policy. With George W. Bush on his book tour, claiming that waterboarding is legal and necessary and that even knowing what he knows now, he would have invaded Iraq, it's especially important to look back at our definitions of terrorism and the "War on Terror."
Jamie Court, Reese Erlich, and Crime and Punishment
November 9, 2010
"Democrats are more concerned with raising money than raising hell," says Jamie Court, author of The Progressive's Guide to Raising Hell. Meanwhile, he argues, ballot measures in California were victories for populism, for campaigns against big oil and big corporate money (and self-financed billionaire candidates). With Republicans back in control of the house, Court says, Democrats are going to have to learn something from California.
Shayana Kadidal: SCOTUS Criminalizing Humanitarian Aid
June 23, 2010
While foreign terror is unspeakable, domestic infringements on constitutional rights, such as freedom of speech, are necessary for national security. In Holder vs. Humanitarian Law project, the Supreme Court upheld the constitutional law that it is illegal to, “knowingly provide material support or resources to a foreign terrorist organization.”
Humanitarian Law Project, Afghanistan & McChrystal, and Drones
June 23, 2010
In Holder vs. Humanitarian Law project, the Supreme Court upheld the constitutional law that it is illegal to “knowingly provide material support or resources to a foreign terrorist organization,” overturning multiple lower court rulings that the law was too broad or vague. This terror-inducing “material support” and “resources” includes, but is not limited to humanitarian aid and non-violent resistance tactics. Under this law, humanitarian assistance on the recent Freedom Flotilla to Gaza could feasibly be legally charged and President Jimmy Carter’s quest for Middle East peace, which involved some communication with “terrorists,” could have quite possibly landed him behind bars.
Got Docs: Budrus
March 20, 2010
One Palestinian village provides a hopeful note for the conflict in this week's featured documentary, Budrus. An unlikely organizer unites Hamas and Fatah, Palestinian and Israeli, men and women in an nonviolent campaign of resistance to the construction of the separation wall.
States' Rights, Wafaa Bilal, and Budrus
March 19, 2010
As the health care bill drags toward a finish line, conservative opponents of the bill are raising a specter with some long history--"States' Rights." They claim to be able to nullify the federal reform bill on the state level, but the argument for states' rights has been made before to prevent progressive action from being taken, particularly around racial equality
In Memory of Rachel Corrie

Israel's Crimes
February 10, 2009
Retired US army colonel Ann Wright talks about her recent trip to Gaza. Throughout Israel's intensive war in Gaza, reporters and international observers have been barred from entering the region. Wright says that the damage is extensive and Israel's disproportionate response "criminal."
The Business of War
February 9, 2009
Even as congress denies billions in assistance to states, there is little if any talk of cutting US defense spending. So who profits and what is their interest in maintaining a permanent war economy?
