It’s up, it’s down.  Is there or is there not a connection between Saddam Hussein and WMDs and 9/11?  Just as the Bush administration is saying it never really said there was a connection, the Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs (www.jinsa.org) has uncovered some interesting evidence that most of Saddam’s WMDs were moved to Syria.  Shoshana Bryer guests for the first part of the program.

The Patriot Act is rapidly spreading out to cover non-terrorist related crimes.  This has implications for the Jose Padilla case before the Supreme Court we discussed last week. Lance Gay from Scripps Howard News Service joins us to reveal his investigations of Patriot Act use or abuse.

John’s boralogue covers the emerging UN oil-for-food program scandal, where money went into the pockets of the E.U., the U.N. and Saddam Hussein but not to the poor people of Iraq, who needed it.

The Jose Padilla case will be a watershed for or against habeas corpus and freedom, depending on how the Supreme Court rules later this summer.  Jacob Hornberger from the Future of Freedom Foundation (www.fff.org) guests.

John’s boralogue does a “backgrounder” on how the country’s attitude got to be so bad in the 60s and 70s prior to Ronald Reagan, and how he inspired so many people by giving them back what they had lost due to two decades of anti-American self-hatred in academia and the media.

As the world slides toward economic crisis, the nation’s leading mortgage investment securities are sliding into worthlessness while Congress and the Fed quietly back away from supporting them. Catherine Austin Fitts, former Undersecretary at HUD under Bush 1, ( www.solari.com ) says they’re sucking the wealth of the middle class with them.

We also run clips of Laurie Mylroie, who has been an SOS guest over the years, and who now says the U.S. has badly defined the enemy in the terror war, causing a blurry prosecution of the war.

John’s boralogue notes the recent passing of two German women, Leni Riefenstahl and Traudl Junge, both of whom had lessons to teach us about how intelligent people can be co-opted into agendas they know nothing about.
