GREAT radio interview with Iraq War Veteran/Author Paul Rieckhoff!

[Up2Late]

This is one "Must Hear and tell all your friends and family" interview.

National Guard Lt. Paul Rieckhoff is 100% credible, he's been there, he know the true situation and how under equipped he and his fellow soldiers were, and he doesn't pull a single punch in this interview.

And no matter what you think about NPR or "Fresh Air," you should hear this. Terry Gross asks just about every question I've ever heard asked here, and in this nearly 39 minute interview (38:55), she allowed him to speak freely and say the things that needed to be said. :patriot:

The audio is available on-line at the link below, or you might still be able to catch "Fresh Air" on you local Public Radio station, depending on were you live. Here's a list to local stations with streaming audio: < http://www.publicradiofan.com/cgi-bin/program.pl?programid=17>
