Welcome to WMNF's Radioactivity. I’m Rob Lorei. Coming up, we’ll look at the proposals to bail out the country’s financial sector and we’ll meet a member of Physicians for Human Rights who is a longtime critic of the abuse of detainees in U.S. custody.

But first some listener comments about yesterday’s discussion of the Wall Street bail out. Here’s four comments from listeners.

First up today is Nathaniel Raymund, senior investigator with the group Physicians for Human Rights. An organization that shared the 1997 Nobel Peace Prize. He’ll be speaking at USF’s Peace Week next Monday at 7 p.m. at the Marshall Center in Tampa on physician involvement in torture.

Last month 200 people demonstrated at the annual meeting of the American Psychological Association to protest the role of psychologists in military interrogations. Our guest took part in that protest.
