Great Interview! I found the host to very engaging and she seemed to ask the right questions on many important political subjects. I just finished reading Charlie Wilson's book over the weekend and was delighted to come across this interview over the internet. Being an East Texas native I was proud to see a fellow Texan share his insights regarding the US politics and tactics in Afghanistan during 80's. Given that Afghanistan is the hot topic is US politics right now I'll be curious to see future programs regarding the subject.
