…Those are a few of the topics we’re planning to cover at 1pm today, focusing on the intersection of all of them. We’ll look at recent developments in Iraq’s oil industry, and how it fits into the bigger picture of the Iraq War. We’ll discuss why the presidential candidates and the media both seem to not be focusing on Iraq as much as they should be.
We’ll be talking with Ben Lando, UPI’s energy editor. Check out an extensive archive of his articles here. Ben also created The Iraq Oil Report, a website that tracks oil goings on in Iraq on a daily basis.
We’ll also be speaking with Antonia Juhasz, author of The Bush Agenda: Invading the World One Economy at a Time. She is the Tarbell Fellow at Oil Change International and Visiting Scholar at the Institute for Policy Studies. Here’s an archive of op-eds that she has written.
