Actually I got the last twenty minutes of Now with Bill Moyers. It was great!

This is the part that I watched the end of <sigh>.
This week, Attorney General John Ashcroft refused to release the government memo that contends that a wartime president is not bound by existing laws prohibiting torture and wouldn't comment on any advice he might have given the President regarding the memo. Some argue that the memorandum laid the ground work for the abuses that surfaced in the Abu Ghraib prison scandal. David Brancaccio talks to Ron Daniels, executive director of the Center for Constitutional Rights, which, this week along with the Philadelphia law firm Montgomery, McCracken, Walker and Rhoads, filed lawsuits against two US corporations contracted in Iraq. The Center claims these contractors, in the name of corporate profits, conspired to humiliate, torture and abuse persons detained by U.S. authorities in Iraq.
There's a movement afoot among the press in Washington to push for less secrecy in government. Last Month, Tom Curley, president and CEO of the Associated Press unveiled a plan for a "media advocacy center" to lobby for open government. "The government is pushing hard for secrecy," said Curley, "We must push back equally hard for openness." Curley has led the Associated Press since June 1, 2003, and he is the 12th person to head the worldwide news organization since its founding in 1848. Previously, Curley was president and publisher of USA TODAY, the nation's largest-selling daily newspaper. A Bill Moyers interview.

3. Gipper Fatigue

The entire nation is suffering from it, and will probably blame Bush because this has been his week long uninterrupted political rally.

4. I'm getting Frontline on PBS.

They are interviewing a Canadian Arab family with close ties to Al Queda, who are now living in Pakistan. One of the sons was designated a suicide bomber but he refused to do it and was disowned. His interview and that of his mother and sisters, who think bin Laden is right is pretty chilling as well as interesting.
