This is a repeat broadcast of a program which originally aired February 5, 2016. It is aimed at encouraging listeners to contact President Obama and/or Prime Minister Trudeau and urging the US President to pardon Peltier before he leaves office on January 20, 2017. Ward Churchill is an author, academic and political activist. He is the author of several books including Agents of Repression: The FBI's Secret Wars Against the Black Panther Party and the American Indian Movement. Which he co-authored with Jim Vander Wall, as well as his controversial 2003 work On the Justice of Roosting Chickens: Reflections on the Consequences of U.S. Imperial Arrogance and Criminality. In this interview, Churchill discusses the history of Counterintelligence activities in the United States leading up to the COINTELPRO program of the 1960s, the involvement of the American Indian Movement in Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, and the case of Leonard Peltier who he argues has been unjustly arrested and incarcerated. Peltier has been diagnosed recently with Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm which is posing a threat to his life. For more details and updates please visit www.whoisleonardpeltier.info
