The Leonard Lopate Show
Interrogation Tactics
Friday, July 30, 2004
Chris Mackey supervised all military interrogations at the Bagram airfield detention facility in Afghanistan. He has co-authored The Interrogators: Inside the Secret War Against al Qaeda. James Mann looks into President Bush's campaign promise to surround himself with people who know more about foreign policy than he does. The resulting group—the "Vulcans," composed of Donald Rumsfeld, Dick Cheney, Colin Powell, Paul Wolfowitz, Richard Armitage, and Condoleezza Rice—has had an enormous impact on the Bush presidency. And legendary sound mixer Eddie Kramer discusses Festival Express, a documentary about an unheard of, amazing music festival.
