Joanna Harcourt-Smith on Douglas Rushkoff's radio show tells all about her and Leary's arrest, "torture" and compliance.

I just had an enlightening conversation with counterculture heroine/outcast Joanna Harcourt-Smith, on my radio show The Media Squat (audio stream). She candidly addressed her and Leary's role in becoming informants for the government, all in the context of Timothy's imprisonment and Bush-style torture.

I haven't fully digested everything we spoke about, but thought you should know about the show right away. There's some new material in here, as well as a new perspective on a particularly dark moment.
