Truthdig Editor-in-Chief Robert Scheer and the other “Left, Right & Center” panelists discuss NATO’s coalition amid a cease-fire between Ukraine and pro-Russian rebels; the irony that the U.S. spies “on everybody, but we didn’t know about ISIS”; a judge’s ruling on BP’s negligence in the Deepwater Horizon disaster; and the career of comedian Joan Rivers.

Scheer is joined by Matt Miller, moderating from the center, Rich Lowry of the National Review on the right, and author Robin Wright of the U.S. Institute of Peace and the Woodrow Wilson International Center.
