Callback to Russian Spies

Tuesday June 29, 2010

This week the Roundtable convenes to discuss the developing Russian spy scandal in the United States, the Americans arrested in Pakistan on terror charges, the CIA director’s discussion of the Afghan war, the Catholic Church pedophilia raid in Belgium, and a first-hand account of the G-20 in Toronto. This episode of the Gtimo Nation Roundtable features Brian Masi, BaS the Born again Skeptic, Eric Carlson, Robyn Police, and a spirited return of original host Eugene Michasiw.
