Funding Evil, and libel tourism tonight at 9PM Eastern

BlogTalkRadio
In tonight’s podcast my guests, along with Siggy,
are Rachel Ehrenfeld, author of Funding Evil, Updated: How Terrorism is Financed and How to Stop It.
The book the Saudis don’t want you to read

and Cinnamon Stillwell, who has been reporting on libel tourism

At question is the publication of books and other writings
that seek to shed light on the financing of Islamic terrorism. Increasingly, American authors who dare enter this territory are finding themselves at risk of being sued for libel in the much more plaintiff-friendly British court system in what amounts to an attempt to censor their work on an international level.

What is at stake is not only the war on terrorists, but also the First Ammendment rights at the core of our nation.

Join us tonight for this podcast at 9PM Eastern.

The Long Posts

There’s more than a bit of sad irony in Dick Cheney defending the half-full glass of his boss’ economic policy and an equivalent GOP presidential candidate take them, and the entire rest of the Republican Party, to task for it.

That post was a warm-up exercise.  I managed to get caught up on congressional antics, the White House ducking an attorney-general fight with Senate Donks, media antics, Hill-watching (with a couple of nice preludes from Jen), and a nice (?) Iranian roundup.

Then, on the seventh day (post-show), I rested, and my nap raged out of control….

SO YOU WANNA BE IN RADIO…

Blog. Blog talk. Blog talk radio…

What is this year old phenomenon that is catching fire!!!?

Tonight — how one man’s idea created a social network of citizen broadcasters who have produced tens of thousands of programs since it launched in August of 2006.

 

“This idea was hatched after creating a blog for my father who had recently become ill with non hodgkins lymphoma. Bob (my partner) and I believed that by using a simple phone and internet connection to produce their shows, bloggers (in fact anyone) could for the first time host live shows which are then archived as a podcast.”
