For the rest of the program Robert and I discussed a number of issues including the use of tasers, the attention to Darfur and lack of attention to Congo (we read Bruce Dixon's Ten Reasons Why "Save Darfur" is a PR Scam to Justify the Next US Oil and Resource Wars in Africa). We also played clips from a talk Marjorie Cohn gave at Busboys and Poets (requires real player) about her book (actually, its about Bush Crimes).
