Just as with last week's Pajamas Media podcast, this week's edition has two guest panelists. LaShawn Barber and recent Chicago resident Daniel Drezner join Eric Umansky and moderator Austin Bay.
The controversy over the New York Times writing a story about the (up until the Times spilled the beans on it) US government's secret monitoring of the SWIFT banking information exchange group based in Belgium is the first topic.
Privacy in public places is judged to be an oxymoron by the panelists. With camera and video cell phones pretty much everywhere, what you do can be captured by anyone.
Just ask Hong Kong's under-pressure "Bus Uncle."
On a side note, as you can see a couple of posts down, I carry a camera phone or digital camera almost everywhere I go. Having either--preferably both--on hand to me is necessary equipment as a blogger.
Gaza, Hamas, and Israel, and predictions for upcoming stories round up the podcast, which as always, is produced by Pajamas blogger Ed Driscoll.
