Broadcast in September 2002, it marked Greg’s first appearance on The Howie Rose Show, beginning a 15-year run on two Vermont radio stations. Beginning with reactions to Dick Cheney’s recent Vermont visit, the segment looks at the roots of war in Afghanistan and Iraq, media spin, power bubbles, and the politics of distraction. With ambient background and Howie Rose regulars FP, Silvie, Phinn and Thomas. (Originally aired 9/20/2002)
