First interview Jeremiah Goulka

Jeremiah Goulka, former analyst at the RAND Corporation, discusses the MEK’s removal from the US State Department’s terrorist group list; it’s transformation into a cult following a disastrous military offensive against post-revolutionary Iran; transitioning MEK members from Iraq’s Camp Ashraf to Camp Liberty – then to foreign asylum; and doubts about the MEK’s commitment to “secular, peaceful, and democratic government.” (Duration: 31:53 — 7.3MB)

Second interview Mel Frykberg

Mel Frykberg, a McClatchy and IPS News journalist, discusses her on-the-ground reporting from war-torn Libya; rumors that the Interior Ministry is in cahoots with Salafist militias, including the one responsible for the US embassy attack; why the Libyan central government can’t compete with the influence and firepower of local militias; and why NATO bombs and purple-finger elections don’t magically create civil societies.
