What are their goals?

Poor Mara Liason is probably next on their hit list.

Juan had every right to say what he did. NPR probably was within their legal rights to sever his contract. But what he said did not reach the level of a firing offense. Freedom of Speech be damned. But you are right. It just doesn't fit into NPR's political views/agenda/goals. I just see a heck of a lot of hypocrisy here as there are NPR analysts who have dabbled in controversial commentary on occasion. Nina Totenberg for example.
