Lost in Translation
Haitham Jasim served as a translator for the U.S. Marines in his native Iraq. With the help of some local Marines, he has now moved his family to San Jose. For many other Iraqis and Afghans who have assisted the U.S. war effort and are trying to emigrate, it has been a much slower process. We explore that process with Jasim and other guests.
Host: Michael Krasny
Guests:
- Ellen Dumensil, refugee program director for Catholic Charities
- Haitham Jasim, former translator for the U.S. Marines in Iraq
- Veronica Jacobs, former Marine officer and co-founder (with her husband Captain John Jacobs) of Operation Falcon, a non-profit devoted to bringing Haitham Jasim and others to the U.S.
