Yesterday, Amy Goodman played a speech by Dr. Helen Caldicott on Nuclear Proliferation and the Invasion of Iraq. There’s no transcript, but you can download the audio. In one section, she describes a meeting with Reagan during his presidency. She says it scared her silly. As a medical doctor, she’s trained to do quick calculations of a person’s IQ (it’s so doctors can determine if their patient can follow directions on perscriptions, etc.). She says Reagan’s is probably about 100. Caldicott is brilliant; highly recommended.
Also from Democracy Now!, check out: New York Times Reporter, Chris Hedges was Booed off the Stage and had his Microphone Cut Twice as he Delivered a Graduation Speech on War and Empire at Rockford College in Illinois.
