Thom Hartman Talks with Ray McGovern

Wherein, among other important points, Ray relates a story (which I had heard before but forgotten) about someo people in a group setting asking Barack Obama why he wasn't carrying out certain of his campaign promises, and Obama answered by asking them if they didn't remember what happened to Dr. King.  Clearly, things have gone terribly wrong in this country.  (Although, I don't think Ray's assessment of Obama being afraid of the CIA goes far enough - he's not just afraid of them, he has made a demon's deal where he himself gets to be the guy who prioritizes the kill list.)


Part 1



Part 2



Watching videos and reading statements made by the supporters of our torture regimes of late, including the heart-sickening polls showing that the majority of Americans polled condone torture, I keep going back to people like Amy Goodman, Glenn Greenwald, and a few others, but particularly to Ray McGovern, to avoid falling into a state of total despair.
