As the people of Venezuela celebrate their victory throwing off the chocking shackles of repeated U.S. intervention by reaffirming through true democracy their sovereign right to determine their own destiny, the people of Haiti try desperately to cling on to what remains of the first Black Republic. In this, the 200th year of Haiti's celebrated independence, she as a nation is in the fight for her life. The February coup where legitimately elected President Jean Bertrand Aristide was kidnapped and replaced by a U.S. backed brutal regime has left the streets of Haiti stained with blood. Rigged trials and disappearing Aristide supporters have become par for the course. The world press has remained silent on the daily atrocities committed on Haiti's people. With us today are Doug Spalding and Casey Corbett both from the Haiti Action Committee, they have recently returned from Haiti and talk about their experience there.

9/11 Coverups and Continuing Confusion - David Ray Griffin discusses mysteries, inconsistencies and unanswered questions investigated in his updated book (Dennis Bernstein)

"David Ray Griffin has done admirable and painstaking research in reviewing the mysteries surrounding the 9-11 attacks. It is the most persuasive argument I have seen for further investigation of the Bush administration's relationship to that historic and troubling event."
-- Howard Zinn
