On The Radar: Monday, June 22nd 2009

It’s Monday, good people of the Kuby nation, and we are back to the grind with the following stories:

Iran continues to top headlines, this morning’s news being that Iran has admitted there may have been a discrepancy in voting, and the Revolutionary Guard has come out threatening protestors. All this while Israel’s leaders are showing support for the protestors, asking if this might signal an end to theocratic rule. Ron will check in Washington Times reporter Barbara Slavin about the latest in the region.

In other news, New York Times reporter David Rhode and local reporter Tahir Lubin have escaped from the Taliban, after being held for seven months. The details are still unfurling, but what has become evident in the days since their escape is the media blackout that occurred, with no one breaking the silence for seven long months.

And for some news you can use, four former Scientology higher ups told a reporter Sunday that the leader of the cult-like religion often employs the use of “smackdown” with his subordinates, a new poll shows that many Americans are in favor of government run health insurance,  and a new study shows what we have all secretly feared for years, great white sharks employ the same tactics as serial killers.

Also today, Ron will chat with author Robert Sabbag about his book, “Down Around Midnight”, his harrowing account of  surviving a 1979 plane crash.

All this plus your calls thoughts and rants today on DoingTime.

Call Ron at 866-303-2270 and stay tuned…
