[Swprograms] A More Objective Analysis...

[jfiglio1@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

Here's a link to a recent (April 28) statement to Congress by Ambassador William Rugh which assesses the relative impact of the various new U.S. BBG-initiated
Middle East broadcasters, the VOA, the BBC and Middle East-based satellite broadcasters.  Ambassador Rugh says early on that this assessment is based on observations and conversations with people in the Middle East.  Nonetheless, it appears to be far more sober, balanced and objective than those of Norm Pattiz, who is hardly a disinterested or impartial observer given that he is the chief architect of these new services.
