    Tags: Maine, Petty, Speaking
    Posted in: Embassy/State, Iraq, PRT Life

    From Maine Public Radio, an interview and some excerpts from a public speaking event. I talk about Iraq, our failures there, whistleblowers and the sad, petty reaction to my book by the State Department.

    Listen to the whole broadcast online now.
