The AFP on WREL: Bin Laden aftermath

Chris Graham

AFP editor Chris Graham talks news on WREL-1450AM’s “Online with Jim Bresnahan.”

The segment begins with a look at the big news of the week, perhaps of the year – the death of terrorist mastermind Osama Bin Laden. Chris breaks down the impact of Bin Laden’s death on Al Qaeda infrastructure  and on domestic and international security for the United States.

We wrap things up with a look at Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell’s line-item veto of continued state funding of public radio and public television in Virginia. What kind of impact will the cuts have on operations at public-broadcasting centers in Virginia?
