On December 13, 2011on Tell Somebody, investigative journalist Greg Palast talked about his new book,
Vultures' Picnic, In Pursuit of Petroleum Pigs, Power Pirates, and High-Finance Carnivores. 

Investigative Journalist Greg Palast is the author of the New York Times and international bestsellers The Best Democracy Money Can Buy and Armed Madhouse. Palast is Patron of the University Philosophical Society at Trinty College - Dubline, an honor previously held by Jonathan Swift and Oscar Wilde. http://www.gregpalast.com/ http://www.vulturespicnic.org/Then we hear from Kathy Kelly, American peace activist, pacifist and author, a three-time Nobel Peace Prize nominee, one of the founding members of Voices in the Wilderness, and currently a co-coordinator of Voices for Creative Nonviolence. She has been described as "probably the most respected leader in the American peace movement". 

Kathy Kelly was in Kansas City over the weekend in connection with the American Friends Service Committee’s Voices and Mirrors exhibits, and she spoke at the Kansas City Public Library downtown on Sunday.  You'll hear an excerpt from her speech on the December 13, 2011 edition of Tell Somebody.

Former FBI Special Agent Coleen Rowley

Click ***HERE*** for a link to a downloadable mp3 of the December 6, 2011 edition of Tell Somebody.



Former FBI agent Coleen Rowley was one of three whistleblowers chosen as persons of the year by TIME magazine in 2002, and remains very active.

After running for Congress in Minnesota's 2nd Congressional District in 2006, she came to the position of saying "it's far better to stay as a non-partisan, but more issue-based."

On December 4, 2011, Rowley wrote a piece called Bringing the War on Terror Home at http://www.consortiumnews.com/, also posted on Michael Moore's website, on the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2012, which allows the military to operate domestically within the borders of the United States and to possibly (or most probably) detain U.S. citizens without trial. (Former CIA Analyst Ray McGovern also wrote about the legislation at Consortiumnews - Are Americans in Line for Gitmo?


In June, 2008, I met Rowley in Minneapolis at the National Conference on Media Reform, and had the opportunity to sit down and record a conversation with her.  I thought this might be a good time to re-air that conversation.
