"Vice President Cheney and America's Response to 911" Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson, U.S. Army (ret.) Chief of Staff to the Secretary of State (2002-2005) Conversations host Harry Kreisler welcomes Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson, U.S. Army (ret.), for a discussion of the break down of the national security process in the administration of George W. Bush. Colonel Wilkerson offers an insider's view of the Cheney-Rumsfeld cabal that drove American policy in the wake of the Al Qaeda attack on 911. The Vice President's manipulation of the policy process, he argues, led to a lack of a post conflict planning for Iraq and the failure to abide by the Geneva conventions. Wilkerson also analyzes the motives of Cheney and Rumsfeld, their penchant for secrecy, and speculates on the long term costs to American democracy, power and prestige. http://globetrotter.berkeley.e...

Terrific upload. Wilkerson, Armitage and Powell were the only genuine people in the Bush administration. It's a shame they didn't have more power or a president who wasn't a puppet.

Excellent stuff.... glad to see a rational, level headed man. I admire Colonel Wilkerson.... he got treated a bit roughly over here in the UK by a BBC political "ponse" on the Hard Talk program.... but he stuck to his guns and made his point well.
