WPRO 3-7 PM

I will be guest-hosting the Dan Yorke Show on WPRO-AM in Providence, RI today as Dan takes a day off. The show airs from 3-7 PM and can be heard in Rhode Island and parts of Massachusetts and Connecticut at 630 on the AM band. Among the topics I am considering for discussion:

Israel's military is told to 'do all it can' to rescue the kidnapped soldier. The militants holding the soldier have issued a deadline for a prisoner swap, or else. Charles Krauthammer says this is just the continuation of the 60 year effort by Palestinians to destroy Israel. Should the Israelis wage an all-out war against the Palestinians? Is there any way to do so that could lead to a real settlement of the issues between them?

The reverberations continue from the Hamdan decision by the Supreme Court. The SCOTUSblog has a round-up of reaction and analysis. Mark Steyn says the Court has found a right to jihad in the Constitution. Can we defeat al Qaeda playing by Geneva Convention rules? Should the detainees at Guantanamo be tried or released?

I am also thinking about immigration reform, the responsibility of the media to keep secrets during wartime, campaign finance reform and, as always, the war in Iraq and Afghanistan. Some Rhode Island issues that could come up include the recent GOP state convention and the casino gambling referendum.
