Meanwhile, Julian Assange may be out on bail, but the debate over the charges against him still rages, and Megan Carpentier of TPM reminds us that it's possible for the arrest to be politically motivated and the charges still not be false.Megan Carpentier, Fighting Foreclosure, and Bradley Manning

Finally, our three media dissectors tackle the increasingly disastrous war in Afghanistan - is the media's coverage (or lack thereof) leading to more death and destruction?Media Panel, Jeff Biggers' Reckoning at Eagle Creek and Dean Baker on Healthcare
