We talk to Swanee Hunt, Bill Clinton's ambassador to Austria, about her new memoir, "Half-Life of a Zealot," and her work empowering women around the world to fight for peace. Also, Mother Jones writer and filmmaker Brian Palmer talks about how U.S. Marines are trained to deal with the situation on the ground in Iraq.

Plus, UC-Berkeley's Zachary Shore explains why Europe is the breeding ground for radical Islam. He joins us to talk about his book, "Breeding Bin Ladens: America, Islam, and the Future of Europe." And Frank Schaeffer, a novelist who writes about the military and describes himself as a "former Republican," talks about his disgust with the 2006 political campaigns. Finally, comedian Will Durst shares his take on "San Francisco values" and Morey Meniscus is having a tough time preparing for Thanksgiving.
