Spying and Lying: as details of the New York City Police Department's secret anti-Muslim spying operation continue to leak out, we talk to three experts -- a veteran police reporter, a community organizer, and one of the people caught in the NYPD's surveillance net -- about the contours of the most aggressive spy program since COINTELPRO and its impact on Muslim communities throughout the city.

"Terror and shock" in Gaza: Raji Sourani, one of the foremost Palestinian Human Rights lawyers, describes life in Gaza during Israel's recent, four-day bombing campaign, while writer and analyst Yousef Munayyer reports on a study suggesting that Israeli bombs -- not Palestinian rockets, as the media have often suggested -- is the cause of cross-border eruptions.
