DDTV Presents its Anniversary Reprise Presentation:
"How America Lost Iraq"
In 2003 Aaron Glantz went to Iraq as an �unembedded� journalist. He brings home, in his compelling testimonial, the true story of the American
occupation of Iraq. George Capaccio, witness for peace, opened this program with his firsthand account of his nine visits to Iraq.

On August 3rd, at the
Central Square Senior Center in Cambridge, two
authors gave their firsthand accounts of the war on Iraq - one from San
Francisco and the other from Arlington, Massachusetts.
Unlike most U.S. reporters,
Aaron Glantz was not embedded with U.S.
troops. Instead he lived and worked among the Iraqi people from before
the invasion. His stories were featured almost daily on
Free Speech
Radio News (heard in Boston on WMBR - 88.1FM weekdays at 5:30).
He has written a book about his experiences called
"How America Lost
Iraq." Copies of the book are available at
www.aaronglantz.com.
George Capaccio of
Arlington United for Justice with Peace ,
is a storyteller and writer who lives and works in Arlington,
Massachusetts. Since 1997, he has made nine trips to Iraq with
different humanitarian and peace groups. His efforts on behalf of the
people of Iraq have been recognized widely by advocates for peace. His
collection of poetry about Iraq won the
1999 PeaceWriting Award, and he
received the
2001 Peacemaker Award from the Massachusetts chapter of
Veterans for Peace.
The event was free and open to the public, hosted by Linda Pinkow,
public affairs radio producer of
What's Left, heard on WMBR every
Sunday 11:30am - 1:00pm, and was co-sponsored by the Cambridge Peace Commission.
