Investigating the CIA Torture Program

Listen to this story...

Fresh Air from WHYY, October 19, 2006 · British journalist Stephen Grey writes
about security issues and Iraq. His work appears in The Sunday Times of London,
The New York Times, the Guardian, and The Atlantic Monthly. He says that dozens of
terror suspects are still being held in secret prisons and interrogated by the
CIA despite President Bush's declaration that the CIA is no longer doing so.
Grey's new book is Ghost Plane: The True Story of the CIA Torture Program (St. Martin's Press).

1. Very poor transmission....ghost transmission like the old SW radios

....and I have high speed DSL:shrug:

[Up2Late]

2. What program are you using? They have both Real and Media Player...

...plus, here's another link to a site with "live streaming," but you'll have to re-listen to the beginning at the top of the hour.

Here's the link: <http://www.publicradiofan.com/cgi-bin/program.pl?programid=17>

4. It came up on real-player, sounds like they are talking into a pipeline

[Up2Late]

5. You might want to reset or restart you DSL modem or check...

...to see if the Real Player (and/or your computers) Equalizer is set strangely. Setting it to "Flat" should work fine.

It sounds like you aren't getting much current bandwidth from your DSL (if it's not an EQ setting), because Real Player will work well with even Dial-up. It has to buffer a bit, but the sound is very good to me.

Also, check to see if you have an "Environment" set in your audio mixer, I have two on my computer and you can set environments to places like "Bathroom," "Drain pipe," "Arena," etc.
