    Causes and Effects

    Former Middle East peace negotiator Dennis Ross tells guest host Jonathan Capehart why he believes the Bush administration’s policy in the region is seriously flawed. Then, we hear the true story of how a divorced editor fell in love with an inmate serving a life sentence. And the producer of a new Frontline documentary examines how mistakes by the US military led to a civil war in Iraq. Plus, Zoe Cassavetes and Parker Posey tell us about their new film.

Dos and Don’ts of Diplomacy

Dennis Ross served as Middle East envoy for George H. W. Bush and Bill Clinton. In Statecraft, he explains the power of diplomacy—and argues that the current Bush administration’s approach to foreign policy is an example of what not to do.
