Need Help Finding an NPR Show
I was listening to NPR a couple of days ago, and the Republicans are already working on a new meme regarding this claim by Bush that a warrant would not be granted under current laws and guidelines for his secret domestic eavesdropping program. I should have seen it coming, as the ground work was laid last week by the talking heads. I wish I could remember the woman's name, but she was a typical Bushbot, apparently from some center of constitutional study or something. Anyway, her allegation was that a wiretap could not be approved by either the federal court, OR under FISA, because, and I am paraphrasing "Just getting a phone call from a terrorist suspect is not enough to satisfy probably cause." She then tossed out the strawman argument, "If you were called by a bank-robber, does that mean you can get your phones tapped? No." They have been setting up this argument, and Bush's comments todays are just the icing on an orchestrated plan to defend this action.

Anyway, I am trying to remember WHAT show it was on, and who the guests were. Someone help me out here. It was on NPR, either Friday or Saturday ( I think ). The program was hosted by a woman, and the two guests were legal scholars of some sort. The woman had actually worked in some capacity for the government, but was now a partner in a law firm somewhere, and supposedly an expert in fourth amendment rights. Was there anyone out there that heard this program and could tell me WHAT the show was I was listening to? I am trying to get ahold of some information regarding Republicans having started to lay the foundation for Bush's bullshit about courts not granting warrants that he sprung on us today.

4. Well, therein lies the problem
It was in the morning sometime either Thursday, Friday or Saturday, on WHYY in Philadelphia. I listen to so much talk radio, it all kinda runs together.... but I am quite stupidly unable to recall the program it was on, nor the exact time. Senior moment, lol.

2. Go to your local NPR station website and see if they have a schedule.
They may even have it archived, or they can point you to the spot on the NPR web site to find the archive.

3. There are several hosts
Diane Rhiem, Terry Gross, Day to Day w/ Madeline Brand (I think is her name).

But I would check your local station's schedule online and look up about the time you were listening. That way you could check the show archives. Most NPR shows are available about 4 hours after they air,usually.

6. GO the the NPR website and you can see all the schedules for past
days for weeks at a time.

That's how I found the name of the book I wanted to get my brotherinlaw for Christmas.

Might take some research, but the closer you get to the day, it should be easy to nail it down.

They have a recording of every show you can listen to.

... she used to be in the Justice Department and is now a partner in a D.C. law firm.... Damn I wish I could find the transcript of this.
