 Glantz Speaks on Iraq and Viet Nam \n    \nPacifica reporter Aaron Glantz 
 will be returning to New College to speak about Iraq and Viet Nam: War and 
 its Legacy, on Thursday, May 25th at 7pm. The award-winning journalist and 
 author visited Iraq three times since the occupation and authored How 
 America Lost Iraq. He recently spent several months on a reporting tip to 
 Viet Nam.      “Aaron Glantz' courageous, unembedded journalism explains 
 the reality of the U.S. invasion and occupation of Iraq with a clarity and 
 perspective sorely lacking in the mainstream media. He incisively cuts 
 through the fog of war and Pentagon chatter, getting close to the story, as 
 all journalists should. How America Lost Iraq is essential reading as the 
 saber rattling in Washington continues.”                                  
     --Amy Goodman, host Democracy Now!     Aaron Glantz is a reporter for 
 Pacifica Radio and other media outlets. He has visited Iraq three times

 Saddam Hussein; from February to May 2004; and during the elections in 
 January of 2005. His work from Iraq has also been syndicated to newspapers 
 around the world by Inter Press News Service.  He recently returned after a 
 four month reporting trip to Hanoi.     Aaron is a founding producer of 
 Pacifica Radio’s national newscast, Free Speech Radio News. In the course 
 of his work he has also reported from Egypt, Turkey, Jordan, South Korea, 
 Indonesia, India, Vietnam, France, and Denmark. Before becoming an
