Summary

New York Times correspondent Dexter Filkins on this edition of Fresh Air. He wrote the cover story of this week's Sunday New York Times Magazine. The title is "Where Plan A Left Ahmad Chalabi". Filkins writes that the war Chalabi "pushed for has not succeeded. He has no place in an Iraqi government he thought he would lead. He has some issues." Filkins was a correspondent in the Baghdad bureau of the New York Times from March 2003 to August 2006. He is now a Nieman fellow at Harvard University and is writing a book about his experiences in Iraq and Afghanistan. Then, film critic John Powers reviews a new 50 movie DVD collection, Essential Art House: 50 Years of Janus films. Titles include The Seventh Seal, Pandora's Box, The 400 Blows, and The Lady Vanishes. (Broadcast Date: November 7, 2006)
