Scott Shane of our partner, The New York Times, says that there is a shift in the way the Obama administration is pursuing leaks to the press after reports that the website WikiLeaks has obtained 250,000 diplomatic cables; this morning's headlines.

The Pentagon is searching for Julian Assange, founder of the website Wikileaks, amidst concerns that the site could publish thousands of international cables from the State Department. The cables are allegedly part of a larger package of material given to Wikileaks by 22-year-old Army Specialist Bradley Manning. In late May police arrested Manning, an intelligence analyst in Iraq, accusing him of downloading confidential material from computers on his base and posting it to WikiLeaks.

We speak with Scott Shane, the National Security reporter for The New York Times. He says that while President Obama's administration was elected on a campaign of government transparency, it is actually following a doctrine of extreme media secrecy. Shane says Obama has, in two years, prosecuted more information-leakers than any other president in history.

BP and the Gulf oil crisis are expected to be at the forefront of the news once again this week. President Obama will visit Alabama, Mississippi and Florida today and tomorrow, and address the nation when he gets back to Washington on Tuesday. 

BP's top executives will face Congressional hearings, including BP America chief Lamar McKay. Other oil industry executives – from Exxon, Chevron, Shell, and Conoco – are scheduled to sit before the House Energy and Commerce subcommittee on Tuesday. The other oil companies are expected to try to distance themselves from BP by saying that this incident was preventable and that something like this would never happen on their watch.

What do New York State's pension plan, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and numerous mutual funds have in common? They are all major shareholders in BP. As reports surfaced over the weekend that President Obama will force BP to set up a $20 billion escrow account for the victims of the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, questions are being raised over whether or not BP should pay out a dividend to its shareholders. Investors claim that a suspension of payment will upset financial markets, as many pension funds worldwide have investments in BP. WNYC's Economic Editor Charlie Herman talks about the finding the balance between making an political statement while being fiducially responsible, and the BBC's Russell Padmore reports from BP's board meeting in London.  

In American culture, the mantra is that we’re all created equal, and for many of us, that message begins at home with our parents, who claim they love all their children equally and choose no favorites.

Dr. Ellen Weber Lilly is a clinical psychologist, and says that, while parents may indeed love all their children equally, they’re lying when they say they have no favorites.

The United States has discovered what it believes to be $1 trillion worth of mineral deposits—including iron, copper, cobalt, gold, and lithium—in Afghanistan.

Recent reports from Afghanistan indicate that the country is at an economic and political turning point. The New York Times reports that $1 trillion in mineral resources lies beneath the surface of Afghanistan. The mineral wealth is so vast that it may drastically change Afghanistan's economy and alter the course of the war. 

To illuminate what all of this wealth means for Afghanistan and the U.S., we turn to Christine Fair, political scientist with Georgetown University, and a former political officer to the United Nations Assistance Mission to Afghanistan in Kabul. We also speak with lithium market expert Robert Baylis and Afghanistan's Minister of Mines, Ibrahim Adel.

News of oil hitting the Alabama coastline has local residents worried about its effects on their community. Some state politicians, including Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour and Alabama Governor Bob Riley, believe the media is exaggerating what is actually happening on the coastlines, causing residents to worry and hurting business unnecessarily. Not everyone agrees: Tim Kant, mayor of Fairhope, Ala., says "the media is frustrated and has every right to be frustrated. We rely on the press and this is the time when the press needs everything at their fingertips to report on the situation. The outlets are not getting the information they need."
