TOPIC: "WHISTLE BLOWERS AND THE INDEPENDENT MEDIA: A CHECK ON GOVERNMENT POWER"

Our constitutional system of checks and balances is broken. The independent media and whistleblowers play an increasing and powerful role in getting information to the public and acting as a check on government power.
Our five panelists will engage in a lively discussion of the public's need for greater transparency and constitutional protection from government intrusion and abuse. How do 'We the People' protect ourselves?

Daniel Ellsberg: Activist, Whistleblower, Co Founder of Freedom of the Press Foundation.
Norman Solomon: Author, Activist, Co Founder of Rootsaction.org; Co-Founder of Exposefacts.Org.
Trevor Timm, Journalist and Columnist for the UK Guardian, activist with Freedom of the Press Foundation.
Marjorie Cohn: Law professor at Jefferson School of Law, Author and Human rights activist, former President of the National Lawyers Guild.
