Tonight on Counterpoint

8:00 p.m. - Counterpoint, hosted by Scott Harris
  • Bill Moyer, executive director and co-founder of the Backbone Campaign takes a critical look at why the Democrats have chosen not to aggressively pursue the Bush administration's serial violations of the U.S. Constitution and long record of breaking domestic and international law.
  • Carl Conetta, co-director of the Project on Defense Alternatives assesses the fundamental political and economic conditions in Afghanistan that feed the Taliban insurgency, un-addressed by the U.S. and NATO.
  • Deborah James, director of International Programs at the Center for Economic and Policy Research examines the reasons behind the collapse of World Trade Organization trade talks in Geneva.
  • Steve Kretzmann, executive director of Oil Change International, discusses Mobil Exxon's largest reported profit in U.S. corporate history at $11.7 billion for the second quarter. Its earnings were up 14% from a year ago, an increase based on the steep rise of crude prices.
