"No End In Sight"Perpetual War
The release of the Iraq War documentary No End in Sight has prompted more public figures to come forward with the real reasons they think the war was launched. The film’s director, Charles Ferguson, talks about the ongoing story of the film and the forthcoming book. Two political writers discuss the coveted Democratic newspaper endorsements and the Huckabee factor. We get an update from the floor of Senator Dodd's filibuster on phone companies and NSA wiretapping. And a senior adviser to Eliot Spitzer wants to change the statewide public university system. Also, do silver trees have a green lining?
