Tackling America's Toughest Questions: Alternative Media Interviews (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780932863621)

Francis A. Boyle may be one of the few international lawyers to have been extensively interviewed by most of the world's major media, both in the United States and abroadin testament to the stature of his clients, the significance of events in which he has played a role, and to his worldwide reputation for combining international legal expertise with keen political insight. Over a long professional career, his expertise has extended to a wide range of issues related to war and peace: conflicts in the Middle East, Bosnia and elsewhere, nuclear disarmament, biowarfare, and the self-determination rights of oppressed internal minorities. Boyle's explosive interview onThe O'Reilly Factor (FOX News) on September 13, 2001, marked a turning point. The interviews in this collection provide the kind of information and perspectives now available in the United States primarily through its alternative media. Here, Francis Boyle addresses hard-hitting questions on the many troubling aspects of US government policy since September 11, 2001the war in Afghanistan in its entirety from the initial US military intervention to its 2008 escalation, the war on terrorism, Iraq, Iran, Guantanamo, the Patriot Act, impeachment, torture, and domestic infringements of the constitution. His insight on domestic and international events, in the framework of both law and politics, provides a comprehensive orientation to understanding the most significant events of the past decade.
