Kevin Zeese, Executive Director and co-founder of VotersForPeace, discusses why the Antiwar movement needs to dissociate from the major political parties, how popular pressure really does affect change, the cozy relationship between corporate media and the defense industry and how creating an effective antiwar movement requires rethinking previous failures and realistically assessing the (very formidable) opposition.

This recording is excerpted from the KPFK Gustavo Areano program of August 5th. The complete recording can be heard here.

Ali Gharib, a New York-based journalist on U.S. foreign policy, discusses the hawkish turn taken by the middle-of-the-road think tank Council on Foreign Relations, the synchronized talking points of Iran war boosters that — like Iraq before — force antiwar opponents to prove a negative (or why the reality-based community is forever playing catch-up to history’s actors), solid economic reasons for a civilian nuclear power program in Iran and why Ret. Air Force Lt. Gen. Thomas McInerny is a warmongering lunatic.

08/05/10 – Rep. Barbara Lee – The Scott Horton Show

Rep. Barbara Lee discusses how how it felt being the only Congressperson (including Ron Paul) to vote against the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force,  how the AUMF continues to be used for justifying all manner of military actions, the Constitutional duty of Congress to declare war, the failure of public schools to teach foreign affairs or geography well and the need to maintain sanctions and reestablish diplomacy with Iran in order to ‘play it safe’ on their nuclear program.

08/04/10 – Andy Worthington – The Scott Horton Show

Andy Worthington, author of The Guantanamo Files, discusses the last ditch effort of Omar Khadr’s military lawyer to stop his client’s war crimes trial,  government use of the catch-all ‘material support for terrorism’ charge when all other crimes won’t stick and why the popular outcry for ‘tough’ military commissions trials for accused terrorists ignores the near-perfect conviction rate in federal courts.
