Summary

Because Audible was not granted rights for today's show, we present this classic show featuring former President Jimmy Carter and Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction Stuart Bowen. Carter's book is called Our Endangered Values: America's Moral Crisis. Carter argues that the increasing entwinement between church and state in this country is eroding our civil liberties and personal privacy. Jimmy Carter was 39th President of the United States. He founded The Carter Center, a conflict resolution organization. He won a Nobel Peace Prize for his mediation work. He's written a number of bestselling books, including An Hour Before Daylight, Christmas in Plains, Keeping Faith: Memoirs of a President, and Talking Peace: A Vision for the Next Generation. His new book is Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid. Then, Stuart Bowen is the Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction. His office has just released its seventh Quarterly Report to congress. The report documents the disbursement of $30 billion set aside for Iraqi reconstruction, and Bowen will tell us about uncovering and preventing waste and fraud. Bowen has served in this post since October 2004. Formerly, Bowen served in the White House under George W. Bush, and was a partner at the Washington DC law firm of Patton Boggs LLP. Bowen's ties to Bush go back to the early 1990s, when he worked in the Texas Governor's office in various legal offices. Bowen was also an intelligence officer in the U.S. Air Force, where he achieved the rank of Captain. (Original Broadcast Date: November 2, 2005)
