Summary

Mark Koernke discussed U.S. military operations in Iraq as a costly, ineffective policing action that fails to win hearts and minds, criticized returning soldiers who abuse authority domestically (citing an incident where a cop harassed citizens flying an inverted flag while ignoring illegal immigrants), and interviewed Patricia Ford about premature umbilical cord clamping at birth as a potential cause of autism and other developmental disorders, with discussion of profit motives in medical practice and recommendations for informed birth contracts.
