Yesterday, Laura called our attention to the strange tale of the attempt at bugging Sen. Mary Landrieu's New Orleans office, noting the stories uncovered by indie reporters connecting the dots between the ACORN sting, the break-in, and funding flowing into universities from the nation's intelligence agencies -- as well as right-wing organizations. David Price wrote a piece in Counterpunch, "Silent Coup," about the intelligence operations on campus, and Lindsay Beyerstein uncovered the connection between one of the Landrieu arrestees and those same programs; her work was cited in Raw Story's "Landrieu Phone Plot: Men Arrested have Links to Intelligence Community." They joined us to talk about the disturbing layers to this story, and discuss where it goes next.
