ANNOY YOURSELF:
-AUDIO INTERVIEW: with Youssef M. Ibrahim, Expert on Energy and the Middle East (Fresh Air, March 21, 2003, NPR)He is group editor at Energy Intelligence, a company that publishes news and provides data and analysis about international energy issues. Ibrahim is also a senior fellow on the Council on Foreign Relations. Previously, Ibrahim was a foreign correspondent for The New York Times, and Tehran Bureau Chief. He also covered energy for The Wall Street Journal.
This is a joyously cynical look at the politics of oil, America, and the Arab world. Much that he says will be disagreeable to you, but all will be thought provoking. Posted by Orrin Judd at March 22, 2003 8:09 AM

Hey don't be so down on NPR. I didn't hear that interview since "Fresh Air" was preempted for war coverage but Terry Gross is a pretty good interviewer and while she's a liberal she's usually fair. I remember one from a couple of months back:
(Not that the left is totally ignoring ANSWER, now that the ball has been put in play by the right. Today's "Fresh Air" also features an interview with a member of their steering committee, whom Terry Gross basically grinds out like an old cigarette.)
