        Show: Digital Citizen
        Date: Wednesday, April 19, 2006
        Time: 8-10 PM
        ------------------------------

Tonight on Digital Citizen we broadcast a talk given in Binghamton NY on
March 8 by the leading critic of U.S. foreign policy, Noam Chomsky.  The
Binghamton Press & Sun-Bulletin reported it as follows:

"Under the current U.S. policies, a nuclear exchange is inevitable," the
77-year-old MIT professor said in his presentation, "Imminent Crises:
Paths Toward Solutions" ... Chomsky cited nuclear proliferation and
environmental collapse as the two greatest crises that "literally threaten
survival."  Since the 1960s Chomsky, a widely acclaimed professor of
linguistics, has crusaded against political contradiction, nuclear
proliferation and Israel's treatment of Palestinians. Regarded by many as
the greatest intellectual alive today and dismissed by others as a
radical, Chomsky has voiced harsh criticism against the foreign policy of
the United States since World War II.  About 1,500 people crammed into the
main theater, while a television broadcast the speech to a room of about
500 next door. Ushers were forced to turn hundreds of people away as the
building filled beyond its capacity.

In the second hour, we'll have a live discussion with Jeffrey St. Clair,
editor of the best political site on the web, CounterPunch.org, and author
of "Grand Theft Pentagon: Tales of Corruption and Profiteering in the War
on Terror."  Jeff is in town for a talk about his book tonight at 7:30pm
in 317 Gregory Hall on the UIUC campus.  He'll be joining us on WEFT after
his talk.

DR. NO, Jeff Nicholson-Owens, founder and host of Digital Citizen, is away
on hiatus -- so once again tonight's show will be presented by your
oxymoronic guest host, Carl Estabrook.

As the Doctor says, "Thank you so much for listening to the show.  Your
attention makes doing the show worthwhile."

And remember, it's April 19.  In Massachusetts, on Lexington green, the
American Revolutionary War begins at dawn on this date in 1775, although
Captain John Parker orders American insurgents not to fire unless fired
upon by the army regulars.  One of the Americans wounded is Prince
Estabrook, who soldiers on throughout the war, in spite of the efforts of
the Southern commander, George Washington, to have him removed from the
army.

The victorious troops march on to Concord, where

        By the rude bridge that arched the flood
        Their flag to April's breeze unfurled
        Here once the embattled farmers stood
        And fired the shot heard round the world...
