| Was the invasion of Grenada the blueprint for Iraq? | |
| RTAmerica | 25 October 2010 27 years ago today, 7,000 U.S. troops invaded a tiny island nation of 95,000 under the guise of fighting an imminent communist threat. The reality was a brutal invasion and a high human cost because of the US\\\\\\\'s use of overwhelming force against largely unarmed civilians. But in many ways, the invasion of Grenada was a litmus test for post-Vietnam War interventions and imperialism?a legacy that lives on today in the Iraq War. | |

| Climate Scientist: There is no disputing climate change. | |
| Climate science in a moment of crisis It\\\\\\\'s been a rough couple of years for climate science--attacks on the entire field have sought to undermine its credibility, a series of overblown, so-called scandals distracted the media, and the public\\\\\\\'s general comprehension of climate change has greatly eroded. So I was glad to see paleoclimatologist Kim Cobb address the importance of communicating with the public in her talk at this year\\\\\\\'s Poptech conference. I sat down with Cobb, who\\\\\\\'s an Associate Professor at the Georgia Institute of Technology, and she talked about her work, the sad state of climate politics, and why the climate science community has failed in communicating its findings to the public so far. | |

| The Loaded Chamber, Secret Money & Washington's Most Powerful Lobby | |
| lauraflanders | 22 October 2010 The chamber\'s increasingly aggressive role ? including record spending in the midterm elections that supports Republicans more than 90 percent of the time ? has made it a target of critics, including a few local chamber affiliates who fear it has become too partisan and hard-nosed in its fund-raising. So reports a headline story in the New York Times today about the Chamber of Commerce\'s increasingly secretive and partisan fundraising and lobbying efforts. The Chamber, once an institution that supported small and family businesses, increasingly does the bidding of a few large corporations, and in the first part of our GRITtv Digs investigation, Harry Hanbury starts to open up the Chamber\'s secrets for you. | |
