Boiling Frogs: Journalist Russ Baker

[audio http://peterbcollins.com/podcast/PBC_20110705p272.mp3] [audio http://peterbcollins.com/podcast/PBC_20110703p271.mp3] [audio http://peterbcollins.com/podcast/PBC_20110702p270.mp3]

Journalist Russ Baker is our guest in this Boiling Frogs interview, co-hosted with Sibel Edmonds.  Baker joins us to discuss the case of the former Israeli Spy Chief Meir Dagan, who contends that Israel’s top leaders lack judgment, considers a military attack on Iran “a stupid idea”, and criticizes Israel for having failed to put forward a peace initiative with the Palestinians by foolishly ignoring the Saudi peace initiative promising full diplomatic relations in exchange for a return to the 1967 border lines. He talks about the Obama administration’s harsh and hawkish stand on Iran, the evidence pointing to a plan to create an “Arab Spring” for the Good Old Boys—CIA, banks, and oil companies, the poor journalism by the mainstream media in covering Libya and the alleged crimes committed by Qaddafi as a part of a larger disinformation effort of the sort that has always been part and parcel of war, and more!
