William Rivers Pitt Interview

William Rivers Pitt discusses his new book House of Ill Repute: Reflections on War, Lies, and America's Ravaged Reputation. The presidency of George W. Bush promised to restore integrity to the White House, but instead it has been plagued by scandal. Pitt guides us through a jaw-dropping series of presidential missteps from the missing weapons of mass destruction and the Halliburton contracting scandals, to the NSA’s warrantless wiretaps and the incompetent response to Hurricane Katrina. For anyone who suspects the Bush administration of playing fast and loose with the facts, William Rivers Pitt provides a welcome voice of truth, untainted by corporate ownership. Pitt served as Press Secretary to Presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich, worked as the managing editor of truthout.org and is currently the editorial director of Progressive Democrats of America.
