Support Gareth Porter’s book on the history of Iran’s nuclear program
Campaign Against Sanctions and Military Intervention in Iran (CASMII) - 1 Nov 2012
Summary: Helena Cobban of Just World News and Just World Books has started a Kickstarter campaign to raise funds to publish a book by Gareth Porter entitled “Manufactured Crisis: A history of the Iranian nuclear program”. I sugges that all my readers contribute whatever they can to finance this project since the few books that exist already on the subject are mostly garbage, and Gareth Porter has shown himself to be quite independent and willing to do some real news reporting and analysis when it comes to Iran, instead of merely acting like a mouthpiece of the US by parrotting conventional wisdom and half-baked claims as do the Judith Miller, Michael Gordon, David Ignatius, Joby Warrick, David Sanger or Con Coughlins of the world. source: Iran Affairsread more
