Unelected President George W. Bush brings irony to bear on
the war in Iraq, calling for American-style democracy in the
oil-producing nations he's most likely to attack after Iraq,
where mounting debts and occupation hazards are precipitating
troop call-ups and a possible draft.

Dennis talks with Eva Golinger-Moncada, Venezuela Solidarity
Committee Executive Director, about the media-manipulated
opposition to popular Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez whose
efforts to share state oil revenues with the poor angered
corporate leaders. The documentary "The
Revolution Will Not Be Televised" was withdrawn at
the last minute from Amnesty Int'l Canada's film festival
to be held in Vancouver this weekend, a move which many see
as part of an ongoing effort to suppress the truth about the
April 11, 2002 coup. For more on this an other news from Venezuela
