The Bailout Bill and Small Businesses
The newsmakers in the current financial crisis are usually big names like Lehman Brothers, AIG, and Bear Stearns - but what about America’s small businesses? We look into how the bailout bill could affect small business owners in the U.S. if it passes. Lloyd Chapman is president of the American Small Business League.
Underreported: Renditions in the Horn of Africa
A 2007 rendition program in the Horn of Africa led to nearly 100 men, women, and children being rounded up in Kenya and eventually rendered to Ethiopia. At least 10 victims of this program still languish in Ethiopian prisons, with little recourse; still others are missing. We find out why these people are being held and what should happen next.
