New York City – It’s a Wrap

We’re here at LaGuardia Airport, thinking back on the last week and a half of NYC interviews including a side trip to Vermont. What a privilege it has been to meet and interview so many great people.

We will be posting some new video clips soon.

This picture was taken from the ACLU headquarters. We could watch the helicopters land and ships come in under the Brooklyn Bridge as we set up for the interview.

Our last two interviews were with Michael Ratner and Hina Shamsi.

Michael Ratner is an attorney, activist, and former President for the Center or Constitutional Rights. He currently represents Julian Assange and WikiLeaks. He was also present at the trail of Bradley Manning (now Chelsey Manning.) You can check out some of his interviews on Democracy Now.

Hina Shamsi, Director of the ACLU’s National Security Project. She has litigated cases upholding the freedoms of speech and association, and challenging targeted killing, torture, unlawful detention, and post-9/11 discrimination against racial and religious minorities.
