Michael Ratner is president of the 1966-founded Center for Constitutional Rights that states its mission as follows:

“to advanc(e) and protect the rights guaranteed by the US Constitution and Universal Declaration of Human Rights.”

Ratner is also past president of the National Lawyers Guild and co-hosts his own weekly Law and Disorder program on Pacifica Radio’s WBAI in New York.

Barack Obama’s Executive Orders on torture and Guantanamo will be discussed, including dim prospects for change from his administration.

Richard Cook is an author, consultant, and publisher with interests in public policy, economic and monetary reform, and much else. He’s also a former US government analyst and 1986 whisleblower who exposed multiple layers of cover-up after the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster that year.

Cook is a frequent contributor to Global Research. Discussion will focus on his recent writing, including his December 15 article: Bailout for the People, “The Cook Plan.”

Dennis Halliday spent most of his distinguished career doing UN development and humanitarian assistance work. In September 1997, he held an Assistant Secretary-General post as UN Humanitarian Coordinator in Iraq. A year later he resigned saying he “had been instructed to implement a policy that satisfies the definition of genocide: a deliberate policy that has effectively killed well over one million individuals, children and adults.”

Halliday’s Iraq experience and current world topics will be discussed.

Steve Forester is a Miami-based human rights lawyer involved in Haitian immigration issues for over 20 years. For the next six months, he’ll be working with the Institute for Justice & Democracy in Haiti to halt the DHS/ICE ordered deportations and gain Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haitians in America.

His current efforts will be discussed
