Steve Coll on Saddam Hussein.

A podcast interview with the author.

Episode 12 of the ‘Night Owls’ podcast features an interview with Steve Coll, author of ‘The Achilles Trap. Saddam Hussein, the C.I.A., and the origins of America’s invasion of Iraq.” My podcast partner Joe Klein conducted the interview. It is well worth your time.
