U.S. Finally Gets Around To Closing Last WWII Internment Camp

Bill Moyers Journal:
MEDIA, MCCLELLAN, AND THE WAR

Five years after the invasion of Iraq, Scott McClellan, formerly White House press secretary and one of President George W. Bush‘s closest advisors, has published a tell-all book with little new information about the propaganda campaign and the role of the press in selling the war.

Bill Moyers speaks with Greg Mitchell, editor of the influential magazine about the newspaper industry, EDITOR & PUBLISHER, and two members from McClatchy‘s Washington Bureau, one of the few news outlets to aggressively question the administration’s case for invading Iraq: John Walcott, the bureau chief and John Landay, senior national security and intelligence correspondent.

Can the fundamental law, the so-called Theory of Everything, really explain everything?

PUT A LITTLE SCIENCE IN YOUR LIFE

But here’s the thing. The reason science really matters runs deeper still. Science is a way of life. Science is a perspective. Science is the process that takes us from confusion to understanding in a manner that’s precise, predictive and reliable — a transformation, for those lucky enough to experience it, that is empowering and emotional. To be able to think through and grasp explanations — for everything from why the sky is blue to how life formed on earth — not because they are declared dogma but rather because they reveal patterns confirmed by experiment and observation, is one of the most precious of human experiences.
