SPECIAL PROGRAMMING
***********************************************
The House Judiciary Committee will hear from former Undersecretary of
Defense Doug Feith and other guests Tuesday morning on the role that
Bush Administration lawyers played in creating, developing, and
implementing interrogation & torture policies at Guantanamo.

Pacifica Radio will broadcast the hearing live, starting at 6:00am PDT,
Tuesday, July 15, anchored by KPFA's Aimee Allison and
Larry Bensky.

Feith was one of the architects of the Bush Administration's legal and
policy framework for interrogations. He was initially scheduled to
testify in June, but cancelled on the morning of the hearing. His
appearance tomorrow is ensured by subpoena.

Other guests scheduled for tomorrow's hearing include Philippe Sands,
Professor of International Law, University College London; and Deborah
Pearlstein, Associate Research Scholar at Princeton's Woodrow Wilson
School for Public and International Affairs.

Tuesday's hearing follows up on previous coverage of this topic. Last
month, Pacifica aired Judiciary Committee hearings that featured
former White House Chief of Staff David Addington, former Deputy
Assistant Attorney General John Yoo, and others.
