"All About Money", with host, John Sakowicz, returns to KZYX tomorrow, Friday, July 11, at 9 a.m., Pacific Time, with a special edition show on the billions and billions of dollars of waste, fraud and corruption in Afghanistan and Iraq. Matthew Hoh and Peter van Buren are our guests. 

Hoh is the highest-ranking U.S. official to publicly renounce U.S. policy in Afghanistan, and he was awarded The Ridenhour Prize for Truth-Telling in 2010. Van Buren, a 24-year veteran of the State Department, spent a year in Iraq as the Team Leader for two Provincial Reconstruction Teams.

We also stream live from the web at www.kzyx.org 

Shows will be archived at KZYX or posted to the Public Radio Exchange. 

MATTHEW HOH — Hoh, now a senior fellow at the Center for International Policy, served with the U.S. Marine Corps in Iraq and on U.S. Embassy teams in both Afghanistan and Iraq. He was subsequently appointed Senior Civilian Representative of the U.S. government for Zabul Province in Afghanistan. Five months into his year-long contract in 2009, Hoh resigned and became the highest-ranking U.S. official to publicly renounce U.S. policy in Afghanistan. Hoh was awarded The Ridenhour Prize for Truth-Telling in 2010. Hoh is the former Director of the Afghanistan Study Group, a network of foreign and public policy experts and professionals advocating for a change in US strategy in Afghanistan. 


PETER VAN BUREN — Van Buren, a 24-year veteran of the State Department, spent a year in Iraq as a State Department Foreign Service Officer serving as Team Leader for two Provincial Reconstruction Teams (PRTs).. Following his first book, “We Meant Well: How I Helped Lose the Battle for the Hearts and Minds of the Iraqi People”, the Department of State began proceedings against him. The book, published in 2011, called out the State Department for failing to address the root problems in Iraq, both the Sunni-Shia tribal/political/religious divides as well as the failed civil and municipal infrastructures that underlay widespread discontent with the Iraqi government.
