Last week, Mike Papantonio told us that there was no fund from BP to pay for the oil disaster, and raised some questions about Kenneth Feinberg, the administrator of the damages to Gulf residents. Today investigative journalist Greg Palast answers some of those questions--and raises a few of his own.
Palast has been investigating BP for years, and right now is working on The Amazon to Arctic Investigation (and could use your help). He's also got a bit of his own experience with Kenneth Feinberg, and he joins us in studio to lay out the history of cases like this, where the people hurt by corporate negligence end up getting doubly screwed when it comes time to get their benefits.
very interesting and insightful, I have read Greg’s book, Armed Madhouse, and my queston is, I agree with your stance and politics, but what happens to me, because of the e-mail transparency due to our lovely Patriot Act, what happens to my vote? I am a 57 yr old white woman, cancer survivor and RN; will I have to submit to being shadowed? I am not politically active, but if I beome so, will I get the McCarthy treatment? Or should I fade away to obscurity, bewailing the fate of our country but hands tied to do anything? Am I now Paranoid?
