Fire on the Prairie: May 2006
On this show we air journalist Laura Washington's interview with Anthony Arnove, author of the new book The Logic of Withdrawal. Washington's conversation with Arnove was part of a recent In These Times-sponsored event in Chicago.
Also Aaron Sarver interviews Kaveh Ehsani on the rise to power of Iran's current president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and relations between Tehran and Washington. Ehsani is an editor for the journal Middle East Report and a researcher at the University of Illinois-Chicago.
Finally, hear comments from Juan Torres. In July 2004, Torres' son died while serving as an army specialist in Afghanistan. The army ruled his son's death a suicide, but Torres believes otherwise and has been conducting his own investigation. Torres is part of Gold Star Families for Peace, and has been traveling around the country speaking out against war.
Aaron Sarver is an associate publisher at In These Times. He and Emily Udell are co-anchors and co-produces of Fire on the Prairie.
