From Iraq to the Occupied Territories: Counting the Cost of America's Middle East Policy (2003) - Бесплатная аудиокнига

Report from a Palestine Center briefing by William and Kathleen Christison At the last stage of their mission to Iraq to observe the impending Anglo-American war, former CIA analysts Kathleen and William Christison were detained at the Jordanian-Iraqi border. In addition to acting as observers, the Christisons felt that their presence "would demonstrate in the strongest possible way" their opposition to a preemptive U.S. war on Iraq. Their current political views notwithstanding, they were denied visas due to their past service with the world's most notorious intelligence agency. Originally the Christisons planned to visit the Occupied Territories after Iraq, but failing to gain entrance to that country, pushed the second half of their trip forward. They discussed their experiences in the Occupied Territories and U.S. policy as it relates to both Iraq and Palestine at an 18 April Palestine Center briefing.
