An interview with George S. McGovern on his new
book, labor history, and the Iraq war.
"And, I say you’re damned right I support our troops! That’s why I
don’t want them sent off to die in wars that are unnecessary."
"...there was a need to even the balance between organized capital on
one hand, and organized labor on the other"
I
recently recorded an interview with George McGovern. Part of the interview
aired on the Heartland Labor Forum radio show on KKFI 90.1 FM community radio
in Kansas City just before the election, and part aired on Thanksgiving
night. Here is a transcript of the entire interview.

People routinely refer to our troops in Iraq as heroes. What is heroism in an unjust war?
Charley Gibson of Good Morning America, as so many news people do, referred to our troops in Iraq as heroes. I flinch when I hear that. Can we give blanket praise to all who are fighting in this unjust war? Some have probably performed heroic deads. Others have committed crimes against the Iraqi people, and have done it with the blessing of the U.S. government. |

City Councils here, and around the nation, are acting publicly to re-assert our basic civil liberties, spelled out in the Bill of Rights in the U.S. Constitution.
When Congress rushed the USA PATRIOT Act through its chambers shortly after 9/11, some wise members argued against its worst provisions. But the Bush Administration, with John Ashcroft as Attorney General, prevailed. Civil liberties-conscious activists in the Kansas City area and around the nation have been struggling ever since to stop the abuses to which it and other Administration orders and decisions have led.

As Soldiers Die in Iraq, Cheney Does Fundraiser for Graves |
|
by Mike |

|
Of course, it was a fundraiser for Rep. Sam Graves. For Cheney to raise funds for the soldier's graves would be to acknowledge that they died in this illegal, immoral war he was so hell-bent on waging. |
