AfPak: Video of interview with Brig.-Gen. Denis Thompson

From CBC "News Sunday", March 29, video at link (via Spotlight on Military News and International Affairs):
Debriefing the General

Brigadier-General Denis Thompson was commander of Canadian and NATO forces in Kandahar province up until last month, and we spoke with him from Kandahar on our show just before Christmas. Thompson joins us in studio to talk about the nine months he spent with the mission.
As I wrote in an earlier post with video of an interview with the brigadier-general:
Afstan: Letting the CF go public
...
Meanwhile, maybe the government (read PMO)--whose public information on Afstan has been pretty dismal--has realized that it might be helpful to let the CF take a greater part in the TV discussion...
More from the Globe and Mail after Brig.-Gen. Thompson spoke to their editorial board (with audio, online only):
Afghans caught between bleak options

Hey Mark

FYI I'll be meeting with Thompson on Thursday in Vancouver, as he is hosting a speaking event at the Fraser Institute. Will let you know how it all goes...
