  • Radio Interview: CBC Dispatches

    October 13, 2011 // Comments Off on Radio Interview: CBC Dispatches

    Available now as a podcast, or over the radio in Canada, is my interview with CBC Radio’s news magazine program, Dispatches.

    The interview is described as “A failure in Iraq, from an American diplomat who ruefully admits helping lose the battle for the hearts and minds of the Iraqi people” and includes me reading from several chapters in the book. The questions were very good, very focused, and I think you will enjoy the interview.

    Available online now at CBC Radio.

    The story of my interrogation by the State Department, over a link dating from August on my blog to a Wikileaks document already on the web (I was accused of disclosing classified information because of the link!) is all over the web.

    If you have not read it at TomDispatch, or are a State Department employee blocked by a firewall from reading TomDispatch, you can still see the article on a growing number of mirrors:
