BLIND FAITH IN THE MIDST OF COMPLETE FAILUREThursday May 17, 2007
Produced by Dori Smith of WHUS in Storrs, CT This week on Sprouts, we look at the growing influence of Christian Dominionists at the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado. Former Military Jag Lawyer Michael L. Weinstein talks about his book "With God on Our Side." Then journalist Dahr Jamail and scholar Robert Blecher of Middle East Report (Merip.org) look at calls for prime ministers of Israel and Lebanon to step down. A source for a May 8, 2007 piece in the Israeli newspaper Haaretz speaks of assassinating the leader of Hezbollah, then Israelis will forget about the Winograd report.
Former U.S. Military Jag lawyer Michael L. Weinstein calls the phenomenon an evangelical coup. Weinstein is author of an explosive new book, "With God on Our Side: One Man's War Against an Evangelical Coup in America's Military," published by St. Martin's press. His co-author is Davin Seay. We hear about the book then listen to a short segment from his April 24, 2007 debate with Pat Robertson's attorney Jay Alan Sekulow.
