Greg has invited back both Susan Lindauer and myself back onto
the air this Monday. The show will air on GCNlive.com between
four and six p.m., CST. For those not aware of Susan's story, in
brief: She had been a former Congressional Aide and a reporter.
She had been working as an "asset" for the CIA prior to the
Iraqi War, and was attempting to derail the war before it began.
After she contacted the Commission of pre-Iraqi war
Intelligence, offering her testimony, she was arrested as a spy
for the Iraqi Government, and then sent to Carswell Federal
Prison Mental Hospital for psychiatric evaluation. In June of
this year, the government went to court for approval to have her
forcibly medicated.
Several individuals, myself included, launched a media campaign
about Lindauer's plight. In September, she was released.
There was largely a press blackout about this story. It was only
through a concerted attempt to alert the "non-embedded" media
that we were able to mobilize concern and action for Susan
Lindauer.
