"Missile defense system" radio episode

Title

"Missile defense system" radio episode

Description

An audio recording by Oregon Congressman Les AuCoin criticizing Bush's proposed national missile defense system, deeming it useless against "rogue" terrorist attacks who avoid using missiles and cooperation in the first place. On the other hand, AuCoin asserts that access to plutonium is indeed a real concern: "according to Sam Nunn... 60% of the former Soviet Union’s plutonium stocks are lying around Russia in unsecured storage. Think of it as terrorist theft waiting to happen." This is one episode from AuCoin's biweekly radio show on Jefferson Public Radio (JPR), which ran after he had retired from office. The majority of episodes feature his commentary on current political events, often focusing on issues important to southern Oregon where JPR is based. This episode aired in 2001.
