Sin City Saviors

Las Vegas is the city of glittering lights, a metropolis where money and lust collide. It's also the city where a group of crusading Christians is making their stand against the pornography and prostitution industries. 'Nightline' co-anchor Martin Bashir recently traveled to Nevada to meet the group battling for the soul of Sin City.�

Santa Out of Work?

November posted the largest job loss in three decades. The economy is officially in a recession, which is bad news for retailers looking to holiday shopping revenues to boost their bottom line. ABC's John Donvan traveled to the Mall of America to see if Americans are really scaling back on this year's gift-giving.

Playlist: John Legend

Soulful crooner John Legend released his first album just four years ago. That debut record won him a Grammy for best new artist. The Ohio-born singer reveals the music that moves him in tonight's Playlist.

We hope you'll join us.

Another Shocking KBR Scandal | Why Gates is a Terrible Pick | Right-Wing Praise for Obama Cabinet

Former U.S. Interrogator: Torture Policy Has Led to More Deaths than 9/11 Attacks  

Former U.S. Interrogator: Torture Policy Has Led to More Deaths than 9/11 Attacks
By Amy Goodman, Democracy Now!
"How anyone can say that torture keeps Americans safe is beyond me," says the author of How to Break a Terrorist. Read more »

 

Last week, John Brennan pulled his name out of the running to be Director of National Intelligence under Barack Obama. Brennan, a defender of extraordinary rendition who was recently described by Glenn Greenwald of Salon.com as "an ardent supporter of torture," represented an alarming pick for many people -- particularly members of the legal and human rights community whose support for Obama was based on his vocal opposition to torture and the Military Commissions Act of 2006. Seeing his name removed from the slate was a relief.

But even without Brennan, Obama's cabinet picks so far, particularly his national security team, make up a troubling group. Dominated by Clinton-era officials, many of whom supported the invasion of Iraq, it is not exactly the "change" so many expected Obama to usher in. Although many argue that critics should reserve judgment for now and wait to see what Obama does, in fact now is the time to call for a new direction in foreign policy -- especially in Iraq and Afghanistan.
