Aaron in the Media

KUOW 94.9FM, NPR-Seattle, WA-"Weekday" with Steve Sher (6/6/05)

Despite losing electricity, clean water and even their homes, many Iraqi citizens supported the US invasion at the start of the war. They considered their loses necessary sacrifices to be rid of Saddam Hussein and attain the freedom they'd been promised by the American government. However, as the war drags on, tensions are on the rise. Where did the US invasion begin to go wrong? What effect did Abu Ghraib prison and the fighting in Fallujah have on the Iraqi people? What is fueling the insurgency? What are the most dire needs of the Iraqi people? Is there any way to fix the problems?

When reporter Aaron Glantz first went to Iraq in 2003, many of the Iraqis he spoke to supported the American invasion. One man even said he would name his son after George Bush. In his new book, How America Lost Iraq, Mr. Glantz describes the dramatic change he's seen in Iraqi public opinion.

"Democracy Now!" Pacifica Radio, National Broadcast, (5/24/06)
Images of thousands of dead U.S. soldiers helped to turn the tide of public opinion against the Vietnam War, but now photo-journalists are even banned from military funerals at Arlington national cemetery. A report this weekend in the Los Angeles Times documented the extremely rare publication of photos of American casualties in six major newspapers during a sixth month period. Readers of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Los Angeles Times, New York Times, St. Louis Post-Dispatch and Washington Post never saw a single picture of a dead serviceman or servicewoman in their morning papers. We are joined by Pacifica Radio reporter Aaron Glantz. He spent months covering the occupation of Iraq and is author of the new book "How America Lost Iraq."
