Amy Goodman and Juan Gonzalez speak with Dennis Bernstein and Mark Mericale, just released from jail after theri arrest, Andrea Buffa of Media Alliance, Jay Imani from the KPFA Advisory Board, and Lynn Chadwick. This program went out live on the satellite, but was censored at several Pacifca stations from their rebroadcasts, and was never posted to the Pacifica website. I guess they heard how badly Chadwick comes off, after you have heard from the other people

The REALITY is that the Berkeley police are investigating property damage, NOT homocide. Is, perchance, Pacifica attempting to intimidate listeners who excercise their free-speech right of protest?
