Hearings on Radicalization of Muslim Americans

I'm with Congressman Keith Ellison on this one - what do you think? BTW, it was uncovered today, that Congressman Peter King, the chairman of this committee that is calling for these hearings supported the IRA in the 1980's!

Below is a segment that aired this week on forced labor (slavery) in India:

Gadhafi's Insanity Continues for Another Day

I hope the international community can muster the cooperation necessary to rid the Libyan people of this man soon.

Who is Moammar Gadhafi?

In my opinion, one of the worst leaders in the world, and he has shown this week that he is willing to slaughter Libyan civilians to keep control of the nation. He gave a really ugly speech early in the week calling on his supporters to attack the protesters. I don't see how he gets out of this mess alive, but how many people will he take down with him in the process.

It seems that if he wasn't mad decades ago, he certainly gone completely mad at this point.

One of the young leaders of the protest movement had been jailed and released and has begun to get attention from the media. Wael Ghonim, has emerged as an engaging spokesperson for a group, according to the New York Times that includes about 15 other leaders of the so-called youth movement. A video of ____________ and the NY Times has a video of an interview with another protest leader.

In the meanwhile the Mubarak regime is threatening a more violent crackdown, and the Egyptian Vice-President is making a lot of statements that the U.S. and many protesters are interpreting as signs that they are not serious about reforming the political system and making meaningful changes to Egypt's constitution.

MIllions March, Mubarak Says He Will Not Run Again

It isn't everything the Egyptian protesters want, but after a meeting with a chief U.S. diplomat, Hosni Mubarak, President of Egypt since 1981, has promised not to run in the Presidential election that will take place in late 2011.

This is a good report from PBS, I think the images in the last three minutes or so of the street protesters is something amazing to watch.

Way to Tick Mom Off, Dude....

This sort of parenting, I think we can all agree, is a bit extreme.
