Dennis interviews Civil Rights Activist Lynne Stewart. Lynne Stewart has been under attack by the Federal Government since the attack on 9/11. Stewart faces charges of terrorism for her role as a legal counsel for the imprisoned blind sick Egyptian cleric Omar Abdel Rahman. Stewart is facing 45 years in prison for these trumped up terrorism charges. Last year Stewart thought she was out of the woods, when two similar charges were dismissed, but the Feds aren't willing to let go she was recently reindicted. Does her case mean that anyone can be arrested at any time for any reason? No, Stewart says "It means, you won't have a lawyer to call. Your lawyer may not be working for you; your lawyer may be working for those who prosecute you." LynneStewart.org schedule of Bay Area speaking and fund raising events for this week.

Dennis interviews BBC reporter and journalist Greg Palast. They discuss how the Hutton Report that supposedly exonerates Blair and Bush actually just 'shoots the messenger', in this case the BBC. David Kelly's report as the number one UNSCOM inspector is equally damaging to both Blair and Bush, both guilty of lying. While BBC report Andrew Gilligan may not have taped his sources, many other BBC reporters including Palast did record Kelly's comments for the record.

Greg Palast Investigative Journalist on The Stealing of the 2000 Election. Why we as a people won't 'Get Over It'. Greg digs in depth on how the 2000 election was stolen. Slimy details on the supposed 57,000 felons excluded from voting in Florida. 'Unfortunate' for democracy that 92% were actually legally clear to vote. How 500+ from that list had records of convictions, in the future! 2004 elections will make the corrupt manipulations of 2000 look like a cake walk of course as the neo-coop and their cronies figure new ways to corrupt what used to be our democratic republic.
