Green-on-Blue attacks and Military suicide
Military officials say that attacks by Afghan soldiers and police officers have killed at least 40 NATO troops this year, including 23 Americans. The attacks are troubling, as the closeness of U.S. troops and Afghan security forces is a key component of the military's plan for a complete foreign troop pullout by the end of 2014. In addition, active duty military suicides are on pace to hit almost 200 this year. This hour, we talk about both the recent "green-on-blue" attacks and active duty military suicides with Mark Thompson of TIME.

Mark Thompson - Mark Thompson - Washington Deputy Bureau Chief for TIME. He also moderates TIME's Battleland blog: http://nation.time.com/category/battleland/

Neil Barofsky on the TARP

This hour, Kathleen Dunn talks to the former Special Inspector General for the TARP, who sharply criticizes both political parties' closeness with Wall Street.

Objective versus Opinion Journalism
Many news consumers say that they prefer objective journalism: no spin, no opinion. But what kind of media actually stimulates action, and enhances civic engagement? Well, it depends. A new, experimental study found that objective and opinion-based journalism stimulates more engagement among some, less engagement among others. But it's not what you might think. This hour, guest host Rob Ferrett talks about objective versus opinion media with Bob McChesney, host of Media Matters.
