National Politics on detainee photos, torture and Elizabeth Edwards

    Our weekly show on national political news includes the reversal of President Obama’s decision on releasing detainee photos, the Senate Judiciary Committee’s hearings on torture, and a new book by Elizabeth Edwards, about the infidelity of her husband, former presidential candidate John Edwards.
