Bleeding Afghanistan: Washington, Warlords and the Propaganda of Silence

Bleeding Afghanistan: Washington, Warlords and the Propaganda of Silence

This weekend marks the fifth anniversary of the US invasion of Afghanistan. In recent months the Taliban has seized control of entire regions of the country. The security situation has worsened as suicide bombings are up 600 percent this year. Opium and poppy cultivation are at record highs. NATO forces are suffering their highest casualty rate in five years. We speak with Sonali Kolhatkar and James Ingalls, authors of the new book, "Bleeding Afghanistan: Washington, Warlords and the Propaganda of Silence." [includes rush transcript]
