Guantanamo Supreme Court Decision / Billy Bragg
Audio currently not available for this program.The U.S. Supreme Court ruled today that detainees held at Guantanamo Bay have the right to appeal to federal courts. We discuss the ruling in the first half hour. In the second half hour, we talk with singer-songwriter Billy Bragg. Described by the Times of London newspaper as "a national treasure," Bragg has been writing songs against injustice -- both political and romantic -- for more than two decades. He joins us to talk about his 11th album, "Mr. Love and Justice." He performed last night at San Francisco's Fillmore.
