Gitmo Nation Roundtable
Department of Empathy
Tuesday July 26, 2011

The Roundtable reconvenes with Brian, Senor Cardgage, RadioNed and Robin Police. The list of news is short, but the discussion is long. The panelists talk about some of the latest from Egypt and Libya and have a long discussion regarding Anders Breivik and Norway. While the play by play can be found everywhere the panelists talk about the fall out, the politics, and issues of violence, extremism, and hate around the world. The panelists also discuss their picks of the week.
