Seeing Red Radio: Iraq-Torture Scandal, Dick Cheney and the IMF 5/14/09
Obama shows his true colors by not releasing the un-seen Abu Ghraib photos. Lawrence Wilkerson reveals that detainees were tortured to spill lies that would support the invasion of Iraq. Dick Cheney hits the major news networks with lie after lie. This time it’s not WMD’s, or the efficacy of torture, but the Employee Free Choice Act. US Chamber of Commerce uses bailout money to fight against EFCA. Obama stealthily slips in over 100 billion for the International Monetary Fund, while the IMF, in the face of the global financial crisis, destabilizes Turkey, Latvia, and “threatened” Pakistan, to name just a few. Finally, another Palestinian child dies as a result of Israel’s continued siege on Gaza.
