Public Citizen: Hold BP Criminally Liable for Gulf Oil Spill RealAudio
MP3
Interview with Tyson Slocum, director of Public Citizen's Energy Program, conducted by Scott Harris 
With oil still gushing out of the well, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has shut down fishing in 19 percent of the Gulf of Mexico out of concern about the hazards of oil contaminated seafood, amid fears that currents could move the oil toward the Florida Keys. As the three companies involved in the oil well disaster -- BP, Transocean and Halliburton -- pointed fingers of blame at each other, President Obama is preparing to establish a presidential commission to investigate the massive oil spill. Not long after Interior Secretary Ken Salazar announced his intention to break up the Minerals Management Service that both collects oil royalties and conducts safety inspections of offshore drilling, Chris Oynes, associate director of the Services' Offshore Minerals Management Program, announced he is retiring a month earlier than planned. Between The Lines' Scott Harris spoke with Tyson Slocum, director of Public Citizen's Energy Program, who explains why his group is demanding British Petroleum be held criminally liable for their oil spill disaster in the Gulf and the objective of a recently launched boycott against BP. _______________________________________________ See interview transcript.

West Virginia Activists Win Funds for New School for Students Endangered by Coal Industry RealAudio
MP3
Interview with West Virginia activist Ed Wiley, conducted by Melinda Tuhus 
For years, local residents, joined by celebrities like actress Daryl Hannah and climate scientist James Hansen, protested outside the school, demanding that the students be moved. Their call fell on deaf ears until an agreement was worked out in mid-May that pools funding from the state of West Virginia, Raleigh County, Massey Energy, and the Annenberg Foundation. A new school will now be built in a different location, with ground breaking at the new site scheduled for next year. Between The Lines' Melinda Tuhus spoke with Ed Wiley, a local resident whose granddaughter attended the school and was often sick. In 2006, he walked from Charleston, W.V. to Washington, D.C. to raise awareness and meet with West Virginia Sen. Robert Byrd, whom he asked for help to build a new school. Here, Wiley describes the situation the students confronted and explains how victory was won. ______________________________________________ See rush interview transcript.

Civil Liberties Advocates Oppose Obama Move to Weaken Miranda Warning Rules RealAudio
MP3
Interview with Daphne Eviatar, senior associate with Human Rights First, conducted by Scott Harris  Attorney General Eric Holder announced on May 9 that the administration would propose a broad new exception to the reading of Miranda warnings to terrorist suspects. Miranda, established in a 1966 Supreme Court decision, generally prohibits prosecutors from using statements as evidence in court that were made before suspects have been informed that they have a right to remain silent and to consult an attorney. In 1984, the Supreme Court added a "public safety" exception to Miranda that allowed police to question a suspect about imminent threats before administering the Miranda warnings, while retaining the right to use that information as evidence in court. Between The Lines' Scott Harris spoke with Daphne Eviatar, senior associate with the Law and Security Program at Human Rights First, who discusses why her group and many other civil liberties advocates, oppose the Obama administration's plan to weaken the Miranda rules.
