Robert Scheer: The Pornography of Power
from The Conversation Podcast June 20, 2008
One side effect of the so called war on terror has been a huge increase in defense spending. But is that money keeping us safe from terrorist attack? For example the massive expenditures for war planes. Backers of the 65 billion dollar F 22 Raptor fighter program said it would help defend the launch of the Space Shuttle from terrorist attack. Did we need to spend 65 billion to attain air superiority in the skies of Florida? Today on The Conversation reporter, columnist, blogger, and radio host Robert Scheer talks about the re emergence of the military industrial complex in the wake of 9/11. Also today, Snohomish police bust an alleged cockfighting operation. And car salesmen are hit by the recession.
