What do we need to know about waste and corruption in Iraq? And will anything be done about it? On the next Your Call, we'll talk to Peter Van Buren, author of We Meant Well: How I Helped Lose the Battle for the Hearts and Minds of the Iraqi People. US taxpayers have spent $63 billion dollars on so-called reconstruction in Iraq, a plan that Van Buren says is "riddled with waste and inefficiency." What do we need to know about who will remain in Iraq and what their intentions are? Join us at 10 or email feedback@yourcallradio.org. It's Your Call with Rose Aguilar, and you.
Guests:
Peter Van Buren, foreign service officer with the Department of State and author of We Meant Well: How I Helped Lose the Battle for the Hearts and Minds of the Iraqi People.
Sinann Antoon, Iraqi poet and novelist; assistant professor at New York University; founder of Jadaliyya, an independent e-zine produced by the Arab Studies Institute
