We’ll ask about his positions on issues like abortion and gay marriage, as well as his opposition to the troop surge in Iraq. Plus, the New Yorker’s Jane Mayer and Jill Savitt of Human Rights First on the connection between the “pretend” torture on 24 and the use of real torture in Iraq; and an insiders' guide to New York.
