Full Program	LISTEN TO FULL PROGRAM
Part 1	We speak with a Norwegian cultural Anthropologist Dr. Tone Bringa, to try to find an explanation for how such callous and methodical mayhem could occur in a country famous for its tolerance, social peace and cohesion.
Part 2	Dr. Thomas Hegghammer, a Senior Research Fellow at the Norwegian Defense Research Establishment, joins us to help explain how the mass murderer was able to kill so many young people for so long, how he got his weapons and explosives and what motivated the killer. Dr Hegghammer is quoted in Sunday’s New York Times pointing out the irony that the killer’s manifesto is an exact mirror image of Al Qaeda’s declarations and manifestos.
Part 3	Congressman Alan Grayson joins us to try to make sense of the economic hostage crisis in Washington DC that has the president being whipsawed by Republican walkouts and blackmail to extract concessions by threatening to crash the economy. We will talk about Congressman Grayson’s nationwide petition at No-cuts.com demanding that there be no cuts in Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid.
