Report
From March From March 14th to 16th, KPFA will suspend regular programming to broadcast the historic Winter Soldier hearings in Washington, DC. The three day live broadcast will be co-hosted by myself and former Army medic and KPFA Morning Show host Aimee Allison. A live web-stream of the broadcast will be available through WarComesHome.org http://warcomeshome.org /content/kpfa-broadcast -historic-winter-soldier-event -full
The four-day event will bring together veterans from across the country to testify about their experiences in Iraq and Afghanistan - and present video and photographic evidence. In addition, there will be panels of scholars, veterans, journalists, and other specialists to give context to the testimony. These panels will cover everything from the history of the GI resistance movement to the fight for veterans' health benefits and support. Also, check out War Comes Home for this important unfinished legacy about the Vietnam war: Even as the costs of the Iraq war pile up, the human costs of the Iraq war continue to ripple out. On Friday, a federal appeals court rejected an effort by Vietnamese victims of Agent Orange to reinstate claims that U.S. companies (including Monsanto and Dow) committed war crimes by making the toxic chemical defoliant used in the Vietnam War. http://warcomeshome.org /content/agent-orange%3A -federal-court-sides-against -vietnam-vets%2C-vietnamese -people
