THIS SUNDAY ON GPS
THIS SUNDAY ON GPS

The recent leak of 92,000 U.S. military documents related to Afghanistan has re-ignited the national conversation about the war there...and whether it's worth it.

On Sunday, Fareed has an exclusive interview with Senator John Kerry -- the Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee -- to talk about the Wikileaks and, more broadly, the war in Afghanistan; about Iran and whether we should be engaging that nation; and about U.S. politics.

Then Pakistan's Ambassador to the U.S. responds directly to the accusations in the war logs that his intelligence service has been colluding with the Taliban.

Next up, Hugo Chavez is threatening the U.S. again. Is this a case of more bark than bite?

After that, a panel of experts featuring Hendrik Hertzberg of the New Yorker, Reuters' global editor-at-large Chrystia Freeland, and Ross Douthat of the N.Y. Times on the Obama's administration is handling the crises that seem to keep coming at them.

And finally, a $35 iPad?

Tune in this Sunday at 10a.m. ET/PT.

FAREED'S TAKE: LET THE TAX CUTS EXPIRE
FAREED'S TAKE: LET THE TAX CUTS EXPIRE

How can Congress make a huge dent in the deficit in one fell swoop?

By doing absolutely nothing.

Fareed explains how letting the George Bush taxes cut expire would be the right step in reducing the massive federal deficit.

Tune in this Sunday at 10a.m. ET/PT.


CHAVEZ MAKING THREATS AGAIN
CHAVEZ MAKING THREATS AGAIN

Hugo Chavez is at it again.

He's amassing troops on the border with Colombia and threatening to cut off all the oil Venezuela supplies to the United States.

Why is Chavez making such threats? And what would it mean to the United States if Venezuelan oil shipments suddenly stop?

Tune in this Sunday 10a.m. ET/PT.

A KNOCK OFF TO KNOCK OFF THE IPAD?
A KNOCK OFF TO KNOCK OFF THE IPAD?

An iPad will run you at least $500.

What would you say to one that costs $35?

That's supposed to be the starting price for the iPad competitor developed by the Indian government.

Catch a glimpse of their prototype this Sunday at 10a.m. ET/PT.

Did you miss Tuesday night's "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart"?

Then you missed Fareed sitting in the guest's chair. But you can still catch the segement HERE.

FAREED: REACTION TO WIKILEAKS 'OVERDONE'
FAREED: REACTION TO WIKILEAKS 'OVERDONE'

The news cycle is all abuzz about the over 75,000 military documents released by the website WikiLeaks.org

However Fareed says that these documents don't provide any new insight into the war in Afghanistan and that once again the media's response is "vastly overdone."

To find out what Fareed thinks really is important in those leaked documents read his lastest Q&A.

GPS has asked you before about spending versus cutting, but on today's show you just heard two of the key minds debating it.

Afghanistan was front and center on GPS last week.

Is the United States making any real progress in Afghanistan? What about Pakistan? Find out what the Obama administration's man in the region has to say about the matter. Watch Fareed's exclusive interview with U.S. Special Representative Richard Holbrooke.

Then, what option does the United States have left in Afghanistan? Start pulling out immediately? Fight until the last of the Al Qaeda and Taliban there are defeated? Or something else entirely? A GPS panel of experts takes up the task. Richard Haass from the Council on Foreign Relations, George Packer of the New Yorker and Bret Stephens of the Wall Street Journal argue America's future in the region.

Next up, more from Fareed's recent trip to London. Harvard historian Niall Ferguson and Lord Robert Skidelsky continue the debate: to spend or not to spend.

Now imagine having an Exxon Valdez-sized oil spill in your backyard every year for the last 50 years. Sound impossible? Not to the people of Nigeria. GPS takes a look at the damage in the Niger River Delta.

And finally the British PM puts his wallet where his mouth is.

Watch HERE Video.
