"Tribunals" radio episode

Title

"Tribunals" radio episode

Description

An audio recording by Oregon Congressman Les AuCoin regarding governmental abuse by exploitation of military tribunals following 9/11. AuCoin states that military tribunals were designed to track foreign suspects, not American citizens like in the case of José Padilla. According to AuCoin, the government has been allowed to hoard and keep files on nearly any individual deemed suspicious, supposedly justified in the name of war, though AuCoin argues against deeming the current national situation a "war." This is one episode from AuCoin's biweekly radio show on Jefferson Public Radio (JPR), which ran after he had retired from office. The majority of episodes feature his commentary on current political events, often focusing on issues important to southern Oregon where JPR is based. This episode aired in June 2002.
