Journalist Charles “Chuck” Bowden checks in from the Arizona border with Mexico, and talks about the Mexican journalist who is seeking political asylum in the US (www.motherjones.com). Be sure to listen to the final 5 minutes, as Chuck sums up the vexing problems: if the drug trade were halted, the Mexican economy would collapse. And former Alabama Governor Don Siegleman talks about his political persecution, which started with Karl Rove and his cronies, and continues under the Obama Justice Dept. www.donsiegelman.com, www.legalschnauzer.blogspot.com
