Michael :

I must say ...

I'm quite pleased with the show.

Totton was most candid in his comments. Well done. And, bravely spoken.

Sadly, he speaks of a fear most in the US don't understand: a casual racism cloaked in various forms of ... isms.

This is my fear as well.

Best.

Very informative! First time you've
caught me -- because it was Michael Totten, whose reporting is great and -- as I said above -- informative. I had been wondering for several years about the Kurds, for instance. Of course, I still haven't been told just quite why everybody spits on the Kurds....

I'd like to download the show and burn a CD -- but every link that says download just starts playing the show when I click on it.

Yes, I'm an ignoramus....someone tell me how to do this?
