Jane Mayer
Bill Moyers Journal goes inside last week’s hearings on torture in Congress and gets perspective from journalist Jane Mayer on the debate over whether the U.S. sanctioned torture to prosecute the war on terror. Mayer’s recent book, THE DARK SIDE: THE INSIDE STORY OF HOW THE WAR ON TERROR TURNED INTO A WAR ON AMERICAN IDEALS, documents the war on terror and the struggle over whether the president should have limitless power to wage it.
Ernest F. “Fritz” Hollings
Former Senator Ernest F. “Fritz” Hollings talks about what’s right and wrong with Washington, and his book MAKING GOVERNMENT WORK.
