Asad Rehman on the U.K.'s "Climate Election" & Explosive Afghanistan Papers Revelations
by mail@democracynow.org (Democracy Now!) from Democracy Now! on (#4WC0F)
We get response from London-based Asad Rehman, executive director of War on Want, on two major news developments: The United Kingdom - which will head the COP next year - is set to vote Thursday in what some are calling "the climate election," and the Washington Post has published a confidential trove of documents that reveal how senior U.S. officials have lied throughout the 18-year war in Afghanistan, the longest war in U.S. history, while hiding evidence the war had become unwinnable.
