    The Free Speech Zone - Sunday - March 11th - 7-8 pm - Host: DJ Big Brother / Then Stay Tuned for “Lives in the Balance” 8-9 pm
    March 9, 2012

    Tune in to The Free Speech Zone on Sunday night March 11th at 7 pm to hear a Media Matters/Bob McChesney interview with Michael Hastings, author of The Operators: The Wild And Terrifying Inside Story Of America’s War In Afghanistan. During a spring 2010 trip across Europe to garner additional allied help for the war effort, General Stanley McChrystal was accompanied by journalist Michael Hastings of Rolling Stone. For days, Hastings looked on as McChrystal and his staff let off steam, partying and openly bashing the Obama administration for what they saw as a lack of leadership. When Hastings’s piece, The Runaway General, appeared a few months later, it set off a political firestorm: McChrystal was ordered to Washington, where he was fired unceremoniously.  In The Operators, Hastings picks up where his Rolling Stone coup ended. He gives us a shocking behind-the-scenes portrait of our military commanders, their high-stakes maneuvers and often bitter bureaucratic infighting. Hastings takes us on patrol missions in the Afghan hinterlands, to late-night bull sessions of senior military advisors, to hotel bars where spies and expensive hookers participate in nation-building gone awry. And as he weighs the merits and failings of old-school generals, Hastings draws back the curtain on a hellish complexity and, he fears, an unwinnable war.
