West vs. RT?

Click here if you wish to access this 28:06 RT program called CrossTalk.

In this program broadcast on March 27th host Peter Lavelle interviews Anthony Salvia, former appointee of President Reagan to the State Department; Martin McCauley, specialist of international affairs at the U. of London; and Don DeBar, antiwar activist and host of a daily radio program.
