MEDIA ROOTS – On this episode of Breaking the Set, Abby talks about yet another “apparent suicide” in Guantanamo prison, dryboarding, and how the only way to ever leave Gitmo is in a body-bag. She interviews former CIA Officer Ray McGovern about CIA intelligence failures leading up to 9/11, the presidential daily briefings, and the PNAC neo-con strategy for war. She also talks to Afghan journalist and author of Opium Wars, Fariba Nawa, about the opium trade, opium brides, and the US managing the $88 billion annual heroin trade on the black market. Finally, BTS breaks down the systematic erosion of our civil liberties through legislation passed in a post 9/11 America.

earl, i believe the title says us soierdls . but youre right, there is an army soldier in there. the war on drugs is funded by corporations that actually make drugs. go figure, the ones we trust to keep us safe are funding a war against the ones that enlighten us, give us pleasure, helps cope with pain brought on by occular infections/disfunctions; working with the government i cant really say too much in favor of this topic, but i can say i dont see any reason why certain drugs are illegal. watch penn and tellers show Bullshit’. explains alot.
