Listen Now: 
Diplomacy in Danger
September 15th, 2006 
This week on War News Radio, we examine diplomacy in a time of war. We hear from a former U.S. State Department official who explains how the war in Iraq made diplomacy a challenge when it was most needed. Listen now to this report from Elizabeth Threlkeld and Hansi Lo Wang.
Also, on the week of the September 11th anniversary, our Cairo correspondent reports on how the Arab media have been linking the attacks and the war in Iraq. Listen now to Reuben Heyman-Kantor’s report.
Finally, we revisit Iraq’s underground prescription drug market. Listen now to Tevye Kelman’s report.
These stories, plus the week’s news, from War News Radio.

Great work, as always. One comment:
At the beginning of this show, you mention Christopher Shays’s comment that many Democrats “voted for the war.” What the majority of Republicans and Democrats voted on was not a vote for war, but rather a vote to authorize the Executive Branch’s use of force if all other options failed to yield progress regarding Iraq. The President did not return to the UN, did not accept the assistance of European nations to further monitor Iraq’s activities, and forced the UN inspectors to leave Iraq by warning them of an imminent US attack.
Voting for war and voting to authorize the use of force as a last resort are very different matters.
While most in the media seem to have accepted the statements of Shays and other Republicans that Democrats “voted for the war,” such statements are simply not true, and the media, including War News Radio, should not let these statements go unchallenged.
End of polemic! Please keep up the great work.

The president should be hung for violating the law.
