"William Safire: Whistleblower" radio episode

An audio recording by Oregon Congressman Les AuCoin, in which he praises conservative commentator William Safire's editorial in the New York Times (Nov. 14, 2002) which condemned the government's "Total Information Awareness" program, a centralized federal database of information on American citizens. This is one episode from AuCoin's biweekly radio show on Jefferson Public Radio (JPR), which ran after he had retired from office. The majority of episodes features his commentary on current political events, often focusing on issues important to southern Oregon where JPR is based. This episode probably aired in late November 2002. The title is from a transcript.
