Global Report: Feb. 10-Feb. 16 2010
President Barack Obama is asking for funds for a "dramatically expanded war on terror." U.S. troops are on the ground in Pakistan, and civilians are fleeing what they see as a new U.S. offensive. Kidnappers of a U.S. contractor in Iraq are asking for justice for Iraqi civilians killed by a Blackwater attack. Evangelist Pat Robertson has been implicated in the war crimes trial of Charles Taylor. "Global Report" is a weekly news show dedicated to covering news underreported by mainstream media.

Frank Schaeffer grew up in the religious right and knew Pat Robertson well -- he tells the story in his books "Crazy for God: How I Grew Up as One of the Elect, Helped Found the Religious Right, and Lived to Take All (or Almost All) of It Back" and "Patience with God: Faith for People Who Don't Like Religion (or Atheism)," and appeared recently on our show to talk about it. When Robertson made headlines last week saying that an earthquake hit Haiti because of a "deal with the devil," Schaeffer was moved to respond in a blog post, and he joined us to offer his thoughts on who's really cursed.
