This is an interview done today with New York Times columnist/ former war correspondent Chris Hedges (the title of the thread is the title of his book, which I think is a very good book as well). If your surfing the web/reading this forum and want to listen to something as well, I think it's a very insightful listen-about 30 min. http://stream.realimpact.net/rihurl.ram?file=realimpact/wnyc/raotl/bl032403d.ra
I might try to find this as well. I heard a long interview with him a few weeks back, maybe on NPR's "Fresh Air?" Thanks for this link.
A great interview. Also, try following the work of Robert Fisk. He is the Middle East correspondent for the Independent newspaper in the UK. Incredible story teller. There guys are REAL journalists and well work paying attention to as the current history unfolds.
