Newsbud Interview: Peter B. Collins presents Prof. Stephen Zunes
Prof. Stephen Zunes talks with Peter B. Collins about the July 15 attempted coup in Turkey and the massive purge by the Erdogan government in its aftermath. We also discuss the recently released report in Britain by the Chilcot Commission, which identified serious errors in intelligence and judgment that led to Britain’s involvement in the US-led invasion of Iraq. Zunes notes that, whether or not Iraq had Weapons of Mass Destruction, the invasion was illegal. We also discuss the newly-declassified “28 pages” about the role of Saudi Arabia in 9/11.
*Stephen Zunes is Professor of Politics at the University of San Francisco, where he serves as coordinator of the program in Middle Eastern Studies.
