A Debate * The Senate Environment and Public Works Committee will vote today a bill promoting carbon trading, which sets greenhouse gas emissions limits and allowances for each industry, and then creates a system to trade the allowances. Critics argue that carbon trading actually delays the crucial process of big polluters reducing their emissions. We host a debate between Annie Petsonk of Environmental Defense and Daphne Wysham of the Institute for Policy Studies. Listen/Watch/Read http://www.democracynow.org/article.pl?sid=07/11/01/1344243 * FCC Commissioners Adelstein and Copps Decry Proposals to Ease Caps on Media Consolidation * Federal Communications Commission Chair Kevin Martin has proposed to do away with a rule that bars companies from owning both a newspaper and a television or radio station in the same city. In 2003, Martin voted with the then-FCC chairman Michael Powell to lift the same media ownership rules, but the effort was overturned by the landmark Prometheus v. FCC decision. As public hearings continue, we speak to dissident FCC Commissioners Michael Copps and Jonathan Adelstein.

There is speculation Mukasey might be refusing to say waterboarding is illegal because it could open the door to criminal or civil liability for many CIA and military interrogators -- and even the White House. We speak with National Lawyers Guild president Marjorie Cohn.
