[Marxism] From Bill Blum's latest anti-Empire report

[Louis Proyect <lnp3@xxxxxxxxx>]

National Pentagon Radio
WAMU, the Washington, DC National Public Radio (NPR) station asked its 
listeners to write them and tell them what they used the station as a 
source for. Some of those who replied were invited in for a recorded 
interview, and a tape of part of the interview was played on the air. I 
sent them the following email:

Dear People,

I use WAMU to listen to All Things Considered. I use All Things 
Considered to get the Pentagon point of view on US foreign policy. It's 
great hearing retired generals explain why the US has just bombed or 
invaded another country. I'm not bothered by any naive anti-war 
protesters. I get the official truth right from the horse's mouth. Is 
this a great country, or what? I hope you're lining up some more great 
retired generals to tell me why we had to bomb Iran and kill thousands 
more people. Just make sure you don't make me listen to anyone on the left.

Sincerely,

William Blum, who should be on Diane Rehm, but never will be asked
