Tonight on Counterpoint hosted by Scott Harris

This week's guests on Counterpoint, hosted by Scott Harris:

• Phyllis Bennis, a fellow at the Institute for Policy Studies and author, who serves on the steering committee of the U.S. Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation, discusses the results of the recent Israeli election, the aftermath of the Gaza assault and President Obama's policy on addressing the Middle East Conflict.

• Steve Rendall, senior analyst with the media-watch group Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting (FAIR), summarizes his group's recent report which assesses the skewed U.S. media coverage of human rights conditions in Colombia and Venezuela - titled, "Human Rights Coverage Serving Washington's Needs."

The film provides insight into the roots of the ongoing bloody conflict and provokes substantive discussion on how the obstacles to an enduring peace can be overcome.

• Melissa Goodman, a Staff Attorney with the ACLU's National Security Program, explains why her group is asking the Obama administration to release secret memos that provided the legal basis for many of the Bush administration's controversial national security policies, including the sanction of torture and warrantless surveillance.
