"Happiness is a Warm Gun" - The Beatles If truth is the first casualty of war, language is its first POW. This week, Steve Post and his telephone guest, Emily Levine, dissect the War of the Words waged by all the usual suspects--the government, the military, the diplomats, and the press. Listen while Emily says "collateral damage" until the phrase loses all meaning (once). Hear Steve say he wishes he were embedded. Hear Joan Baez and Judy Collins sing Pete Seeger's "Oh, Had I a Golden Thread" in case you missed it last week.
