Interview With Former Labour MP Tony Benn

"We have an extended conversation with Tony Benn, one of Britain’s most distinguished politicians and the longest serving MP in the history of the Labour party. Benn discusses the new revelations the British government helped Israel build the atom bomb. Benn also speaks about U.S. and U.K. relations, extraordinary rendition, Guantanamo Bay, torture, religion, and the state of the media."

This is from the last of a series of broadcasts from Britain by Democracy Now. This transcript (and of course the audio and video) covers a lot of ground, as the above quote suggests. The main topic, Britians' assistance to Israel, is new, and goes to show just how selective the "good guys" are when it comes to nuclear proliferation. The rest of the interview covers old ground for regular readers here, but still, these messages need to get out and spread, because you won't hear these perspectives being promoted in the main media. And who knows how long blogs and websites will be able to push the truth, now that we're monitored so intensely.
