  • Caroline Frederickson of the ACLU, assesses the U.S. government's surveillance of antiwar and progressive activist groups as related documents under the Freedom of Information Act are released.
  • Rostam Pourzal of the Campaign Against Sanctions and Military Intervention in Iran talks about the Bush administration's post-election policy towards Iran and the odds of a U.S. military strike on Tehran.
  • Lowell Finley, co-director of Voter Action, examines the election day flaws leading to 18,000 missing votes in Florida's 13th Congressional district, where Democrat Christine Jennings was narrowly beaten by a margin of only 373 votes by Republican Vern Buchanan.
