OUR SHOW Tuesday; 1-3PM will take dead aim at Obama’s plan to “close” Gitmo, from a local action by the North Country Peace Group to our featured interview. We will also discuss the Texas abortion case to be heard by the Supremes Wednesday.

Joining us will be Josie Setzler. Josie is a member of the group Witness Against Torture. She resides in rural NW Ohio. Here is a quote from Josie: “For years the administration barely even tried to close the prison. All the while, men detained there suffered physical and psychological abuse, including by forced-feeding. Right wing demagogues repeated the vicious lie that all the prisoners are 'worst of the worst,' and erected legislative barriers to closing Guantanamo. Now, pundits are declaring the president’s plan as 'dead on arrival.' The lives of men kidnapped and tortured by the United States continue to be sacrificed to cynical, domestic politics. Witness Against Torture will continue to work towards the day when this country finally reckons with the disaster of Guantanamo and faces the demands of true justice."
