Dr. Helen Caldicott is the author of The New Nuclear Danger: George Bush’s Military-Industrial Complex, published by The New Press. She discussed the Bush Administration and its connection to the nuclear weapons industry. Dr. Caldicott contends that the merging of weapons firms in the 1980s created powerful corporations able to influence foreign policy and manipulate public opinion. She argues that by lobbying for increased use of military force, weapons manufacturers ignore the best interests of the country and increase the threat of nuclear war. close
