The 2011 U.N. High-Level meeting on AIDS kicked off on June 8 in New York, with more than 30 world leaders attending to discuss the progress and future of the global AIDS response. Outside, hundreds of AIDS activists rallied to call on the world leaders to fulfill their commitment from the 2006 meeting: providing universal access to treatment for the 15 million AIDS patients in critical need. Democracy Now! was there.

PROTESTERS: AIDS could be defeated, if the people are treated!

We continue our interview with Annie Jacobsen, author of the new book, Area 51: An Uncensored History of America’s Top Secret Military Base. Jacobson describes the disk-shaped A-12 Oxcart spy plane developed at the Nevada military base, her interview with the plane’s pilot, and discusses how the CIA handled reports of UFO sightings. "They even had a department called the Office of Strategic Deception," says Jacobson. "One has to believe that they have that same department today, although it is still classified."
