Gitmo Nation Roundtable
Binary-Centric
Tuesday May 17, 2011

The Roundtable reconvenes for an unfortunately depressed episode. Brian, RadioNed, and Robin Police lament the current state of affairs and discuss Syria, Yemen, the continuing bin Laden aftermath, the Bush extraordinary rendition legacy and the Supreme Court motion regarding Jeppessen Dataplan, American presidential politics, the Supreme Court’s latest fourth amendment decision, the Mississippi River, teen violence, and Dominique Strauss-Kahn. The panelists also discuss their picks of the week.
