Ring of Fire

The pulpit has taken a screeching right turn in many churches, but some religious leaders are trying to grab the wheel and steer another course. Mike talks with Dr. Bruce Prescott, a long-time Baptist pastor and executive director of Mainstream Oklahoma Baptists.Then, Evangelical Christians as radical progressives? Strange but true. Evangelicals were at the forefront of the "freedom train" that helped fugitive slaves escape over a span of six decades. Bobby talks with Fergus Bordewich, author of "The Underground Railroad and the War for the Soul of America."
Do the Bush administration’s "extraordinary wartime powers" -- such as the detentions at Guantanamo -- have any legal foundation or historical precedent? Mike talks with Pierce O’Donnell, one of the country’s top trial lawyers and author of In Time of War, a cautionary tale about the excesses of an overreaching executive. Pap attack: Hate Hags.
