BOOKS
OF THE WEEK: THE WAR IN IRAQ & THE WAR ON U.S.FAMILY FARMERS
"The
Best War Ever," by best-selling authors John Stauber and
Sheldon Rampton, is a vital and timely account of why the Bush
administration is losing the bloody and hugely unpopular war in
Iraq. We have met the enemy-and it’s our own PR machine. Ignoring
international law, public opinion and its own Iraq experts, the
Bush team has chosen instead to churn out reams of lies and propaganda
through conservative media outlets and PR campaigns. And as the
book reveals, they’re still doing it…the people who sold us
the war in Iraq are now trying to sell us a dangerous and deadly
expansion of the war into Syria and Iran. Watch the flash video

"Mad
Sheep" is a riveting new book, designed to shake the USDA
to its foundations. "Mad Sheep" is the true story of
an organic sheep farm in Vermont destroyed by the USDA in an effort
to mislead the American public about the real hazards of Mad Cow
disease and safeguard the profits of factory farms and the beef
industry. Linda Faillace, scientist, farmer, wife, and mother
of three tells the harrowing story of corruption, gun-toting federal
agents, and heart-breaking loss with amazing clarity and skill.
