In this podcast, a feature interview with activist and academic Phyllis Bennis. Phyllis Bennis has spent a lifetime working toward peace in the middle east.

She is a fellow of both the Transnational Institute and the Institute for Policy Studies in Washington, D.C., where she is the director of the New Internationalism Project. She specializes in U.S. Foreign Policy Issues, particularly involving the Middle East and the United Nations.

But she is watching Canada's role in Afghanistan as well.

rabble.ca blogger and podcaster John Bonnar wasted no time calling her up when she arrived to speak in Toronto just before Halloween. They had a long chat, and we thought we could feature it here. Bennis started by talking about Canada's role in Afghanistan.
