FLASHPOINTS

Today on flashpoints we take a close look at Obama’s wars and what he’s offering for ending the war in Afghanistan. Also we’ll speak with Mark Potok from the Southern Poverty Law Center about the recent rise of right-wing extremism in the United States. Then we’ll take an in-depth look at a frightening report released by the International Program on the State of the Ocean that tells us that mass extinciton in the world’s oceans is a rising probability. And we’ll speak with Michael Parenti who is here in-studio with us about his new book, The Face of Imperialism.
