Listen to "The Truth Will Out: Boyajian on Armenia and Calley on My Lai"
Forty years after the massacre at My Lai, Lt. Calley apologies for his role there. This reiterates Shakespeare's view that, "the truth will out."
Armenian American David Boyajian continues this theme as he discusses the significance of whistle blower Sibel Edmonds recent deposition. While Edmonds is still under a gag order, Boyajian puts her claims into perspective as he reviews US interests in the strategic region around Armenia, Turkey, Georgia, Russia and the various political allies in play.

The Politics of Water and Medical Care in Israel and Palestiine
Listen to "The Politics of Water and Medical Care in Israel and Palestine"
In the Palestinian villages of Qarawat Bani Zayid, Kufr 'Ayn, Beit Rima, Deir Ghasane, and Nabi Salah the taps have been running dry - no water for drinking, for washing, for livestock or agriculture. Many Palestinians in this area have not had water from their taps since March 15.
We talk with Susan Kopelman of Life Source, a Palestinian-led collective that works specifically on the issues associated with water in Israel and Palestine.
We also talk with Israeli Ron Yaron of Physicians for Human Rights about the politics surrounding the medical situation facing Palestinians living in the Jordan Valley.
