This Weekend - 5th Anniversary

* Bleeding Afghanistan: Washington, Warlords and the Propaganda of Silence *

This weekend marks the fifth anniversary of the US invasion of Afghanistan.
In recent months the Taliban has seized control of entire regions of the
country. The security situation has worsened as suicide bombings are up 600
percent this year. Opium and poppy cultivation are at record highs. NATO
forces are suffering their highest casualty rate in five years. We speak
with Sonali Kolhatkar and James Ingalls, authors of the new book, ³Bleeding
Afghanistan: Washington, Warlords and the Propaganda of Silence.²
