American Afternoon with Sam Seder – Monday May 5th 2008

By

Air America’s 3-6pm et time slot welcomes back Sam Seder.  Sam’s HOUR ONE Guest will be Philippe Sands.  Sands is a British Queen's Counsel at Matrix Chambers, and is Professor of International law at University College London. Sands is notable for authoring a book, "Lawless World", where he accuses US President George W. Bush and Prime Minister Tony Blair of conspiring to invade Iraq in violation of international law. In May 2008 his follow-up book, titled "Torture Team: Rumsfeld's Memo and the Betrayal of American Values" will be released.


Finally, the HOUR THREE guest will be Laurence O’Donnell.  O’Donnell is widely known as an outspoken television political commentator, and was the Democratic Chief of Staff of the United States Senate Committee on Finance from 1993 through 1995. In 1992, he was Chief of Staff of the United States Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works.  O'Donnell made himself a key figure in the coverage of the Valerie Plame scandal by naming Karl Rove as the primary source for Matt Cooper's story. He is well known for his strong dislike of California's current governor, Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Sam Seder is the only host

Sam Seder is the only host who can get me to listen to this rather than Randi Rhodes. It's really almost as simple as that. ("Almost" because, I don't know, maybe if Janeane had the slot I'd listen. But Sam is the surest bet.)
