join us to debate whether the stimulus created jobs or just saved them, whether it saved enough of them, and where the money most needs to be spent to really end the economic crisis--for all Americans.

Nancy Giles of CBS's Sunday Morning joined us not long ago to talk about the decade that was. Looking forward into the new year, though, she says that she's optimistic about race in America for one reason--and that reason might surprise you.
Suddenly the newspapers and cable news shows are talking about Yemen as the newest site for Al Qaeda. Yemeni authorities have been ramping up attacks against militants, with U.S. aid, and after the failed attempt to bring down a U.S.-bound airplane over Christmas, the rhetoric has just grown more incendiary: John McCain said, "The government of Yemen is going to need our help in combating Al-Qaeda. There needs to be significant effort made at improving their economy."
So what's really going on? Abdul-Ghani Al-Iryani, a political analyst, spoke to us from Sana'a, Yemen, and then Michael Bronner, investigative journalist and Vanity Fair contributor, and Christoph Wilcke, Human Rights Watch Senior Researcher, Middle East and North Africa Division, join us in studio to discuss the situation further.

Stimulus Spending, Yemen, and Nancy Giles
The House of Representatives passed the the Jobs for Main Street Act on December 16, right before winter break. With the Senate poised to take it up and the country still hurting from the recession despite Wall Street's record profits, we ask a panel of experts what Congress and the administration need to do to ensure that stimulus funds get spent on the people who need them most.
Nathan Newman of the Progressive States Network, Jacob Faber of the Center for Social Inclusion, Harry Moroz, researcher with the Drum Major Institute and contributor to the Huffington Post, and Aaron Glantz, Stimulus Editor for New America Media and author of The War Comes Home: Washington's Battle against America's Veterans join us to debate whether the stimulus created jobs or just saved them, whether it saved enough of them, and where the money most needs to be spent to really end the economic crisis--for all Americans.
