South African Journalist Alistair Sparks on Wiretapping and Torture under apartheid and Bush.

TODAY'S DEMOCRACY NOW!:
Independent news media organization Democracy Now! interviews legendary South African editor and reporter Allister Sparks. Sparks gained fame as editor of South Africa's Rand Daily Mail in the late 1970s where he helped bring down a South African Prime Minister. He also helped expose the death of anti-apartheid activist Stephen Biko at the hands of South Africa's security forces.
In 1995, South African president Nelson Mandela appointed Sparks to the Board of the South African Broadcasting Corporation.

Sparks discusses wiretapping and torture, under apartheid last century and under the Bush administration today. He also discusses indicted Republican lobbyist Jack Abramoff, and his ties to the apartheid regime.
