Talk, unscripted and well worth a listen. From What Digby Says: Wuss, in which digby deplores the return of cowboy machismo to US foreign policy, and how pundits and public officials adopt language and support tactics that are not in the nation’s foreign policy interests–nor, for that matter, the world’s best interest. More here from our growing body of scripted audio commentary.
