Also tonight, a panel of Purple State officials – from TX, Maine and Minnesota – lay out their case for why tacking to the Right is bad strategy. The Progressive States Network is celebrating three years networking progressive state legislators, officials, movement groups and media — and it’s paying off. Hear from Hannah Pingree of Maine, Garnet Coleman from Houston and Javier Morillo-Alicea on pushing progressive policy — and winning — and changing the debate on the issues at the state level. All that and The Nation magazine’s Katrina vanden Heuvel asks for your help to name this epoch: The Dismal Decade? The Liar’s Age? Twilight of the War Profiteers? Post your proposals at www.extremeinequality.org. That’s all coming up on GRITtv. Take a look.
June 19, 2008: So Now We Know
| By: GRITtv Thursday June 19, 2008 8:04 pm |
So now we know: The CIA’s torture tips to the Pentagon amounted to “If the detainee dies you’re doing it wrong.” Get the latest on that and other revelations from this week’s hearings in the Senate from Karen Greenberg, co-author of the Torture Papers: the Road to Abu Graib. Then, this week’s Got Docs is a film in progress about the post-election violence in Kenya and what it takes to make peace: Amani Noma: A Hard Peace tells one young woman’s story, but it’s a tale that takes us far beyond the easy “tribal violence” narrative most of the public heard in the US.
