FLASHPOINTS

Earthquake damage in Mineral, Virginia

Today on Flashpoints we track the life and death situation facing Madhi Nazemroaya in a rebel controlled hotel in Libya. Also we’ll take an in depth look at US NATO involvement in the purging of Gaddafi and what the US Corporate mafia wants out of the deal. We’ll also have a report on a dam project in Ecuador that threatens the culture and the lifestyle of indigenous communities there. And finally we’ll take a look at the recent east coast earthquake and the impact on a major nuclear reactor in the Washington DC area.
