\nInterview with Amy Goodman:<\/em><\/p>\nWe begin with \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Static: Government Liars, Media Cheerleaders, and the People Who Fight Back,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d – the newest book by Amy Goodman, written with her brother David Goodman. The Goodman\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s newest book follows on the heels of their previous New York Times Bestseller, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153The Exception to the Rulers.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d In \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Static,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Amy and David tackle news fakers and oil profiteers in their blazing criticisms of the Bush administration and the seemingly all too cozy and complacent corporate media. By sifting through media manipulations, spin, and static, Amy and David offer differing views of Bush\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s war on terror, the exporting of torture and the erosion of civil liberties. Also highlighted in the book are uplifting stories such as Cindy Sheehan\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s protest outside of President Bush\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Crawford, Texas ranch. <\/p>\n
Interview with Eric Mann:<\/em><\/p>\nEric Mann, Director of the Labor\/Community Strategy Center, is the author of a new book called \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Katrina\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Legacy: White Racism and Black Reconstruction in New Orleans and the Gulf Coast.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d The book\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s release came on the heels of the one year anniversary of the Hurricane Katrina catastrophe. Glen Ford of the Black Agenda Report says Eric Mann\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s book, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153places the Gulf catastrophe in the historical context of racist capitalist rule in the U.S. at a critical time when the \u00e2\u20ac\u02dccracks in the ruling class levees\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 are visible for all to see. Mann\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s book provides political leadership, the outlines of a plan for action, and calls us to our battle stations.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Eric Mann is fellow Pacifica programmer who hosts \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Voices From the Frontline,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d is aired regularly on Monday\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s at 4 p.m. <\/p>\n
Interview with Sonali Kolhatkar:<\/em><\/p>\nIt\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s been a little over five years since the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan after 9\/11 conducted under the guise of \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Operation Enduring Freedom.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Today, rather than a \u00e2\u20ac\u0153liberated\u00e2\u20ac\u009dcountry, the situation in Afghanistan continues to deteriorate with violence on the rise, opium production flourishing, and an ever increasing hunger crisis. In the wake of Afghanistan\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s dire situation and the U.S. media\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s silence, KPFK\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s own Sonali Kolhatkar and her partner James Ingalls, have co-authored a new book analyzing the failures of U.S. foreign policy. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Bleeding Afghanistan: Washington, Warlords, and the Propaganda of Silence,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d is the couple\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s first book and is published by Seven Stories Press. The authors detail the history of U.S. involvement in Afghanistan, its current manipulations in the name of democracy, and offer suggestions on what concerned citizens can do about the situation. Acclaimed playwright and author Eve Ensler called Bleeding Afghanistan, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153A wake-up call for everyone who thought the war in Afghanistan was a success story.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
