Interview with Jordan Flaherty, community organizer with Louisiana Justice Institute, conducted by Melinda Tuhus 
The government's demolition of storm-damaged public housing has resulted in the loss of two-thirds of subsidized, affordable housing units; many neighborhood schools have not been rebuilt, downtown's Charity Hospital remains closed and the city's public transit system has not yet been restored. Jordan Flaherty moved to New Orleans in 2001, survived Katrina in 2005, and has worked as a community organizer for the past several years. He is on the staff of the Louisiana Justice Institute and his book, "Floodlines: Community and Resistance from Katrina to the Jena 6," was published earlier this year by Haymarket Books. It follows the struggle of New Orleans residents for justice after the disaster. Between the Lines' Melinda Tuhus spoke with Flaherty, who describes the post-Katrina situation as an example of survival of the fittest, where those with the most resources get access to funds, to rebuild housing and betters schools, while the poorest citizens often do without, or are forced to leave New Orleans. ______________________________________________ See rush interview transcript.

Interview with Medea Benjamin, co-founder of the group Code Pink Women for Peace, conducted by Scott Harris  The price paid for the war launched by President Bush in 2003 is astronomical, with almost 4,500 U.S. troops killed, tens of thousands wounded -- and more than 100,000 Iraqis estimated to have thus far lost their lives in the seven-year war with a cost of more than $700 billion. While the U.S. invasion, originally tied by President Bush to weapons of mass destruction and the 9/11 terrorist attacks, brought down the brutal regime of Saddam Hussein, the quality of life for average Iraqis has not improved. More than a decade of economic sanctions, war and occupation has smashed Iraq's infrastructure resulting in a lack of basic services, including inadequate electricity and high unemployment. Between the Lines Scott Harris spoke with Medea Benjamin, co-founder of the group Code Pink Women for Peace, who discusses the significance of the end of U.S. combat operations in Iraq and the current agenda of the U.S. peace movement.
