Policies of fear in Portland, US airports, and Korea -- and a movie about boxing.
Joe Clement hosts this show in which we see more efforts to sell us on policies born of fear: the sting operation resulting in the arrest in Portland of Mohamed Osman Mohamud, the so-called "Christmas Tree Bomber"; stripping us of our dignity in airports with scanners and gropes; and hard-line messages to Iran sent by way of Korea. Tom Becker shares an Alexander Coburn piece calling for "real mutiny." And on a happier note, our Movie Moles find joy in a boxing gym through the lens of documentarian Frederick Wiseman.
