Now comes word from Senator Levin that he is considering removing DADT repeal from the Defense Authorization Bill, though the Human Rights Campaign and others had said last week that speculation about that was "background noise."

Sarah Palin's daughter Willow posting homophobic slurs on Facebook to demean a man critical of her mother's reality show, dropping the F-bomb. Is it a shock to know that the Palin family is contributing to the climate of bullying in this country?

Guest / 4:30pm EST - In what seems to be an epic story ripped from the movies, Steve Hendricks, author of A Kidnapping In Milan: The CIA On Trial, joins us this afternoon to talk about Abu Omar, an extreme Muslim cleric, who was kidnapped by the CIA 2003 and the event that led Italian law officials to put the 26 Americans on trial for a botched covert operation.
