Con Men and Weathermen

The Leonard Lopate Show | May 10, 2010
The centerpiece of the Bush Administration’s case for war was based on the faulty intelligence of a source named Curveball. Los Angeles Times correspondent Bob Drogin believes the CIA and White House deliberately overlooked Curveball’s mental instability and dubious reportage. Also, a member of the 1960s Radical Left group, the Weather Underground, defines her brand of social activism. Plus, a guide that explains everything a girl needs to know. And: why the favorite singer of George Gershwin and Cole Porter virtually disappeared in the 1950s.

The Leonard Lopate Show is hosting a new Thanksgiving cartoon contest, Cartoon Cornucopia! Check it out and be sure to submit your original cartoon by Wednesday, November 14 at noon.
