About this episode

On Oct. 11, 2007, author and journalist, Resse Erlich came to our old wooden church here in North Troy to talk about developing US - Iranian relations., The talk was sponsored and co-organized by the Iran Working Group of the NY capital region.Will the United States and Iran find themselves at war? In "The Iran Agenda: The Real Story of U.S. Policy and the Middle East Crisis," (PoliPointPress, 2007), author and journalist Reese Erlich shows how the U.S. government is planning to subvert the Iranian government and lie about it to the American people. He traces the troubled history between the two countries that has led to the current showdown over nuclear technology and he reports from Iran and northern Iraq to uncover details of how the U.S. has funded ethnic minorities to carry out guerrilla raids and terrorist bombings inside Iran. In his previous book, the best-selling "Target Iraq: What the News Media Didn't Tell You," (co-authored with Norman Solomon), Erlich presciently exposed the harsh realities and consequences of the run-up to the Iraq War and the media’s failure to present the full spectrum of facts to the public. Produced by the Iran Working Group of Upper Hudson Peace Action and co-sponsored by Women Against War.
