Robert Dreyfuss, The Nation Magazine & Maria LaHood, Center for Constitutional Rights join Thom Hartmann. Al-Qaeda's top recruiter, Anwar Al-Aulaki is dead at the very hands of the country which he is a legal citizen...the United States of America! But while majority of the nation is giving the President thumbs up on yet another terrorist six feet under...some are wondering if out War on Terror has officially crossed a dangerous line.

Thom discusses the Republicans' battle against the Obama Administration's "Affordable Care Act" and the attempt made by Michigan Governor Brian Schweitzer to follow Vermont's footsteps in establishing single payer health care systems.

The Occupy Wall Street demonstrators have something on their side - that the bankster 1% doesn't have. I'll tell you what that is....in this Daily Take

Most of us were shocked a few weeks back when we heard the Conservative audience at one of the Republican debates - cheer wildly for Texas Governor Rick Perry's execution record. But what's even more shocking - is that at least one of Rick Perry's many executions - might have actually been an innocent man. This is Cameron Todd Willingham - a man that Rick Perry executed in 2004 - after he was convicted of murdering his three children by setting his house on fire back in 1991. However since his execution - subsequent investigations and new evidence point to an inconvenient truth for Governor Perry - and our entire nation - and that is - that Cameron Todd Willingham in all likelihood was innocent. Joining me now are two filmmakers who recently finished a movie on the story of Cameron Todd Willingham - Steve Mims and Joe Bailey, Jr. - and they're here to tell us what really happened.

The Good! Author & Miami Herald columnist Carl Hiaasen. Hiaasen now has his own proposal - force those same lawmakers to take their own drug test. The Bad! Anita Perry. With his poll numbers slipping after his incoherent debate performances - Texas Governor Rick Perry is send his wife out on the Presidential campaign trail to promote his job creation record. And the very, very ugly...Allen West. The Tea Party Congressman from Florida is keeping up his one-sided feud with Democratic Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz

Anthony Holm, Republican Strategist/Attorney joins Thom Hartmann. Republicans can't stop talking about the failed Solyndra loan. And now they're trying to turn it into a phony scandal to cut off funding for more green energy projects in America. So why are they willing to sacrifice our nation's future security and prosperity just to win political points against President Obama?

Thom Hartmann's daily take.

Former CA State Senator Tom Hayden talks w/ Thom Hartmann - as our quagmire in Afghanistan continues - a new quagmire may just be getting underway...in Pakistan. Last week - Outgoing Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Admiral Mike Mullen, who has visited Pakistan 27 times since 2008 - Defense Secretary Leon Panetta says Pakistan has provided safe haven to a terrorist group that carried out attacks on the US Embassy in Kabul - prompting many to say that the Pentagon is upping the ante with Pakistan. Meanwhile right-wing writers and pundits are openly calling for attacks on Pakistan, or for us to abandon our balanced support of both India and Pakistan in their disputes, as Rick Perry so ham-handedly suggested in the last Republican debate.

Regardless of which way the high court tilts on the constitutionality of Obamacare - our nation is headed for a health care crisis. In fact - with more than 50 million Americans uninsured - it's already in a crisis. First it was Vermont -- now it's Montana...Single Payer Healthcare - Will Single Payer eventually end up in all of America?

Thom Hartmann vs. Dan Holler, Heritage Action for America. The Obama Administration is taking a gamble for the upcoming 2012 election year, betting their chips that the Supreme Court will uphold Obama Care! Are the winning odds in their favor - and why are Conservatives piling on against an idea - they created!? So how will Conservatives try to spin this one?

Thom debates the issue of rising healthcare premiums in America, massive layoffs on Wall Street and other topics among his conservative guest panelists in the "Lone Liberal Rumble". Later in the show, author and evolutionary biologist, Richard Dawkins joins Thom for a special edition of "Conversations with Great Minds".

Today we learned that our democracy could be hacked by an eighth grader with 26 bucks. That's what a security assessment team with the US Department of Energy discovered when they successfully hacked into a Diebold electronic voting machine - and were able to change voting results without leaving a trace behind. These are the same guys that make sure the facilities that manufacture nuclear bombs are secure - and the security assessment team leader said about the voting machine hack, "this is a national security issue." Despite all this - in next year's election - 30% of voters are expected to use these very same "hack-easy" voting machines - that the rest of the world have shelved citing security concerns. And today - with the rise of hack-activist groups like Anonymous - this glaring hole in the security of our elections - could be exploited for absurd purposes...and, the nominee is...Scooby Doo?

Dave Zirin, Edge of Sports joins Thom Hartmann. Remember the old adage that "sports and politics don't mix?" Well - the ties go much further than most sports fans can imagine. Professional sports team owners are among the wealthiest people in the world -- and it turns out that much of the profit these owners make off us attending their games - is going toward promoting far right political agendas - and pushing this ideology onto unsuspecting fans. And they're doing it without any public scrutiny. So would sports fans be so willing to shell out hundreds of dollars to see their favorite teams on the field if they knew what political enterprises their money is really funding?
