Shadowy world of fbi informants and counterterrorism operations. Youll meet the criminals and conmen spying on orders for the fbi. I was for them al qaeda. I am representing the sheik osama bashar alassad. Well brinowners osama bin l. Concocted by the fbi part of a post9 11 mandate to thwart attacks before they even begin. It literally boils down to if you cannot find terrorists within the Muslim Community, make terrorists, create the terrorists. The fbi is not perfect in running the operations but theyre pretty damn close. Well show how some informants are accused of violating Civil Liberties and why some americans refuse to join the fbis intelligence ranks. I didnt want to be an informant for fbi for the same reasons that i think the Muslim Community should stand up to them. If i felt that there were actual terrorists running around in toledo, i might feel different about it. For the first time, a man accused of terrorist charges and back in the community. There was never no bombs ne

Hyannisport with the kennedy compound, it seemed like a summer camp. Compared to what other president s have done on their vacations, what sort of activities did john f. Kennedy do . Time magazine in august, 1962, said that not since the days of Theodore Roosevelt had the nation witnessed what the magazine called such a hard pounding, muscleaching round of activities. And hyannisport, which was besieged by tourists, the president , his children, his nephews, his nieces scrambled on the lawn, splashed in the water. At times, when i read about it, i thought it resembled the olympics. Time described it this way sitting down is somehow considered that form. Touch football has rest periods. Between tennis, swimming, water skiing, sailing and dragging. Dragging as an attempt to avoid drowning while being towed by a life preserver tied to the president s schooner.

From wbez chicago, this American Life. You are listening to radio lab. Today in studio 360 i dont know how to explain this, but something happened about 15 years ago. It might have had to do with hiphop, wordy and performance oriented. Or maybe npr grew to a size that it became sort of part of everybodys i do not know. But i know what we feel, that more and more people were sort of married to it. You are a point in their day, in the backseat of the car with their parents, and then they graduated and found things. Here is the weird part. In 1971, a group of people got together and said, lets make serious newsmaking radio. Walter cronkite and dan rather were kings on television. The New York Times had the pentagon papers. If you wanted to be a serious reporter, you would do that stuff. Casey kasem was radio. Linda and ira go, lets be like the New York Times.
