Gitmo Nation Roundtable
Power Outage
Tuesday August 25, 2010

On the Roundtable this week, the hosts discuss the conflicting reports about oil in the gulf, net neutrality, Wyclef’s failed bid for Haitian presidency, the NYC Mosque, Wikileaks’ Julian Assange, the condition of labor at Foxconn in China, Americans’ trust in Congress, power, and politics in the United States, including the left-right paradigm and the Tea Party. This week’s panelists are Brian Masi, Eric Carlson, RadioNed, and Robin Police. Note: Please excuse the audio quality of this episode. The back-up recording is in Mono and we had to go with that version because the power went out in the middle of the recording.
