US Network to Broadcast World Tribunal on Iraq

A couple of weeks ago, I had the honor of interviewing Prof. Richard Falk, one of the conveners of the World Tribunal on Iraq (WTI) on the subject of the tribunal. He and other activists (author Arundati Roy, journalist Dahr Jamail, diplomat Dennis Halliday, among others) are attempting to gather evidence to create a compelling legal narrative of the unlawful invasion and occupation of the sovereign nation of Iraq, including many documented war crimes.
