Interesting interview, thanks for posting.
I checked out the America at a Crossroads site you linked to and the preview definitely piqued my interest to catch the entire series. I am particularly interested in “Gangs of Iraq” after hearing the interview. Plus, given Smith’s previous Frontline work, I’m sure this documentary will be equally as interesting and insightful.
Thanks very much for stopping by to say so.
