<> ~6:20 pm CDT-- GUEST: ROBERT PARRY



Robert Parry is a 27-year veteran of Washington journalism. He says we've been denied our history. We invited him back to Sunday Monitor for an extended conversation about topics such as Watergate, the media, "perception management," money trails, and even the role of Rev. Sun Myung Moon.

He broke many of the Iran-Contra stories in the 1980s for the Associated Press and Newsweek.

These articles included the first story about a then-obscure Marine officer named Oliver North; the first account of Nicaraguan contra drug trafficking; and the first stories detailing the White House cover-up of the Iran-contra scandal.

His new book is Secrecy & Privilege: Rise of the Bush Dynasty from Watergate to Iraq. A previous book is Lost History: Contras, Cocaine, the Press & 'Project Truth.'

Parry has won numerous awards including the George Polk Award for National Reporting in 1984, the Pultizer Prize finalist for National Reporting in 1985 and was a Emmy finalist for Best Explanatory Work on Breaking News in 1994.
