New Yorker writer George Packer visits Middlebury

New Yorker staff writer George Packer says in some ways, he misses the time he spent embedded with soldiers in Iraq. That may seem strange based on what he wrote in his book "The Assassins Gate: America in Iraq," a chronicle of nearly everything that went wrong following the U.S. invasion in 2003. Packer speaks with VPR’s Mitch Wertlieb.
