On tonight's program, we examine the state of Syria as another government official defects. We talk to an activist for more insight on the defection as well as the no-fly zone. Also: getting women's votes for the election, analyzing the controversial viral video about Ugandan warlord Joseph Kony, farmers finding fish in their fields, and Libyan rebels transitioning back to normalcy post-Gadhafi.
