Imam Zaid Shakir. Journalist Ken Silverstein

Description

When Harper's Magazine editor Ken Silverstein went undercover to recruit Washington lobbyists to help improve the image of Turkmenistan, a corrupt Central Asian government with appalling human rights abuses, K-Street lobbying firms laid out plans to get the job done. In this program, Bill Moyers and Silverstein discuss what that says about the state of influence-peddling in Washington. Also on the program: Imam Zaid Shakir, an emerging leader in the Muslim-American community who has been called a voice of conscience for American Muslims, talks about how he copes with the ongoing skepticism toward-and scrutiny of-Muslims in post-9/11 America.
