Quite shocking - how the financial crash is an element of the so-called War on Terror. Listen 52:30 in - this was recorded in November 2004
This audio discussion programme discusses American foreign policies and events surrounding the World Trade Centre disaster of 11th of September 2001. Speakers include an American ex-naval intelligence veteran now living in the UK, a former Bosnian aid worker and spokesperson for Bristol Stop the War gorup and a Doctor recently returned from aid work in Palestine.
The group present are largely anti-war, and against the US foreign policies, discussing America in terms of it becoming an Empire, suggesting shady Government dealings and political agendas hidden from public view. The speakers are very knowledgeable with specific areas of interest and expertise, and do enter a degree of debate on some issues, providing examples of questionable US Government actions where able.
A representative to defend US foreign policy was invited to join the discussion, but the US Embassy declined and sent a statement reiterating points President George Bush stated in 2003 regarding America's aims to bering democracy to the world. The presenter does read this statement out and remarks that they were invited to speak in their defence.
The conclusion of the discussion, after raising many interesting and troubling issues about the actions of the US government and army, seems to be a desire to raise awareness of these type of issues and to get more people involved in politics and making the need for accountability more evident.
The programme is made by Commonwealth FM in Bristol, a community station encouraging people to get involved.
