Today on Flashpoints: We continue our bi-weekly collaboration, Consortiumnews on Flashpoints with a detailed look at the late senator, John McCain, who some remember as a war hero and proud American freedom-fighter, and others as a participant in over thirty years of potential US War Crimes and related mass murder. We’ll be Joined by Max Blumenthal whose August 27th piece for Consortiumnews was titled The Other Side of John McCain, and we’ll also speak to As’ad Abukhalil about his September 4th hard-hitting essay John McCain, “The View from the Middle East”. Also on the broadcast this week an in depth interview with Diana Johnstone about The Real Russian Interference in US Politics, which was also posted on August 27th.
