Salon Radio: Scott Horton
Scott Horton is an international human rights lawyer, an adjunct Professor at Columbia Law School, and a contributor at Harper's. Scott is my guest today on Salon Radio to discuss two articles he wrote in the last week -- this one, concerning the efforts by PBS to block the broadcast of a new documentary linking the highest levels of the Bush administration to America's torture regime (including the central role played by Sharon Percy Rockefeller -- CEO of Washington's PBS affiliate and wife of key torture-enabler Democratic Sen. Jay Rockefeller -- in blocking the broadcast); and this one, on the key role played by Bill Kristol and The Weekly Standard in ensuring Sarah Palin's selection as Vice Presidential candidate.
The discussion is roughly 20 minutes and can be heard by clicking PLAY on the recorder below. The transcript is here. The transcript for the last show, with the ACLU's Jonathan Hafetz on the Guantanamo cases, is now posted here.
