Salon Radio: Jane Hamsher

(updated below)

The Accountability Now money bomb from last week raised close to $175,000 (once offline checks are counted), which means that, combined with the $350,000 raised for the prior Blue America FISA/telecom immunity campaign, the total amount raised in just the last couple of months around civil liberties and constitutional issues is in excess of $500,000. Today, I spoke with Jane Hamsher about the impetus behind the new organization, why the campaign has resonated so strongly, and what the organization's short-term campaigns and longer-term strategies are.

The discussion is roughly 35 minutes, and a transcript will be posted later today. The Steny Hoyer version of the Iran ad that Jane and I discuss -- aimed at several of the more than 200 co-sponsors of the war-justifying House Resolution 362 -- can be seen here.

UPDATE: The transcript is here.

Glenn Greenwald's Unclaimed Territory

I was previously a constitutional law and civil rights litigator in New York. I am the author of two New York Times Bestselling books: "How Would a Patriot Act?" (May, 2006), a critique of the Bush administration's use of executive power, and "A Tragic Legacy" (June, 2007), which examines the Bush legacy. My most recent book, "Great American Hypocrites", examines the manipulative electoral tactics used by the GOP and propagated by the establishment press, and was released in April, 2008, by Random House/Crown.
