An Interview With Mike Gravel

May 15th, 2007 at 10:54am Chase Martyn

Douglas Burns had the chance to conduct an exclusive, 45-minute interview with former Senator and current Presidential candidate Mike Gravel.  No subject was off limits, and in the end Gravel ends up making a $50 bet with Burns.  We’ll see if Burns ever sees the money.  Read the interview over at Iowa Independent.

Here’s a little snippet from the interview:

Iowa Independent: When I watched the debate the other night, and don’t take this the wrong way, but you seem awfully angry for a 76-year-old. Why are you so angry?

Sen. Gravel: I’m angry because every day you and I are talking about this thing people are dying. How would you feel if you were over there (Iraq) getting shot at, getting crippled, because your leaders didn’t exercise proper judgment. What about the people who are going die between now and Christmas because we don’t end the war? That’s a reason to get angry. That’s blood. That’s people dying and we sit here complacently and say, “That’s far away.”
