An informative talk in which Naomi Klein discusses the radical economic restructuring of Iraq by the US occupying forces without meaningful Iraqi input. Tom Hayden follows with concrete suggestions about what progressives should be doing.

We strongly urge you to listen not just to the Klein talk but also to the Hayden afterword...the Klein talk is informative, but the Hayden talk places the current resistance movement in historical context vis a vis Vietnam and other struggles, and deals with what people here need to be doing in the near and longer term.
We apologize for not making a 58 min version, but as you will hear, it is exceedingly difficult to know where to cut this piece. Just cutting it to fit with the Hayden talk on a CD was difficult.
The event was advertised with the title: Free Iraq! from Killer Liberators and Corporations
