"National Defense" radio episode

An audio recording by Oregon Congressman Les AuCoin on Iraqi prisoner abuse at the Abu Ghraib Confinement Facility at the hands of members of the US Army and the CIA. AuCoin shared that the Bush administration was complacent towards the abuse, despite the Red Cross and Secretary of State Colin Powell bringing awareness to the abuse. It was not until Major General Antonio Taguba delivered a report showcasing the abuse that the Bush administration acted. This is one episode from AuCoin's biweekly radio show on Jefferson Public Radio (JPR), which ran after he had retired from office. The majority of episodes feature his commentary on current political events, often focusing on issues important to southern Oregon where JPR is based. This episode aired between 2003-2004.
