Former U.S. Ambassador Examines Motives Behind Israel's Assault on Gaza Aid Flotilla RealAudio
MP3
Interview with former Ambassador Edward Peck, who was on board a boat in Gaza Aid Flotilla, conducted by Scott Harris 
Among the passengers onboard the Rachel Corrie were Irish citizens Mairead Maguire, who won a Nobel Peace prize for her advocacy of a peaceful settlement in Northern Ireland, and Denis Halliday, a former U.N. humanitarian aid coordinator in Iraq who resigned in protest over the imposition of economic sanctions on Iraqi civilians. U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon is now attempting to convene an international body to investigate Israel's May 31 assault on the six aid ships and the circumstances surrounding the deaths of nine passengers on the largest ship, the Mavi Marmara. Former U.S. Ambassador to Mauritania Edward Peck was among those onboard the Greek-flagged boat Sfendoni, one of six ships intercepted by the Israelis. Peck is a 32-year veteran of the U.S. Foreign Service, who was deputy director of President Reagan's White House Task Force on Terrorism. Between The Lines' Scott Harris spoke with Ambassador Peck about why he participated in the aid flotilla, accusations by Israel that the passengers on the aid ships had links to terrorists and the reasons behind the growing international movement challenging Israel's Gaza blockade. For more information on the Free Gaza Movement, one of the groups coordinating the Gaza aid ships, visit their website at www.freegaza.org. Related Links:
Palestinian Farmer Peacefully Struggles to Save his Family's Property from Israeli Takeover RealAudio
MP3
Excerpt of speech with Palestinian farmer Daoud Nassar, recorded and produced by Melinda Tuhus 
With the financial support of a group of Americans, Nassar travels to the U.S. twice a year to speak around the country about his struggle to keep his family's land. The following excerpt of Nassar's talk was recorded on May 3 at St. Patrick/St. Anthony Catholic Church in Hartford, Conn. Since Daoud Nassar's talk, threats have escalated, when on May 27, Israeli officials ordered the demolition of nine structures built without a government permit during the last two years. Nassar is now taking his fight to save his land to the Israeli Supreme Court. For more information, visit the website www.TentofNations.org, or contact their American support group, Friends of Tent of Nations North America, at (301) 320-0049 or through their website www.fotonna.org. This segment was recorded and produced by Between The Lines' Melinda Tuhus. Related links:
U.N. and Human Rights Groups Challenge U.S. Use of Drones in Targeted Assassinations RealAudio
MP3
Interview with Jonathan Manes, legal fellow with the ACLU National Security Project, conducted by Scott Harris  But in a report made to the United Nation's Human Rights Council on June 3, Philip Alston, the U.N. special representative on extrajudicial executions, called on the U.S. to use greater restraint in using unmanned drones to commit targeted assassinations of terrorism suspects beyond the war zones in Afghanistan. There is growing concern among international human rights activists and military officials that Washington's use of drones, based on a questionable legal foundation, could lead to a chaotic situation where dozens of nations carry out their own drone attacks across borders against individuals they label as terrorists. Between The Lines' Scott Harris spoke with Jonathan Manes, legal fellow with the American Civil Liberties Union's National Security Project. He explains why his group filed a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit in March to obtain the government's legal basis for drone attacks, the number of civilians killed, and the process of oversight and accountability for such attacks. Contact the ACLU by calling (202) 457-0800 or visit their website at www.aclu.org Related links:
