Building Bridges Memorial Day Special

Stopping the U.S. War Juggernaut

“We’re knee deep in the big muddy” and 9 years after Sept. 11, 2001

the Obama administration says to “push on,” expanding war into

Pakistan and saber rattling against Iran. In Afghanistan we mark the

1,000 U.S. combatant death added to the countless deaths of Afghan

civilians and the U.S. Senate has just voted to add another $30 billion

to the Afghanistan War budget to pay for 30,000 more troops to add

to the 65,000 already in Afghanistan. Building Bridges presents a

montage of sound from “Why Are We In Afghanistan?”, “Rethink

Afghanistan” and the “The Most Dangerous Man in American” – a

riveting, straight-ahead, enthralling story of one man's moral courage,

Daniel Ellsberg. Ellsberg, the high-level Pentagon official and

Vietnam War strategist, pierced the world of government secrecy by

leaking 7,000 pages of top secret documents to the press revealing

a war based on decades of lies and deceit, & in doing so helped bring

about the resignation of a President and the end of the Vietnam War.
