Tsering Shakya Interview Excerpts

In mid-May, I had the opportunity to interview the author of "The Dragon in the Land of Snows", Tsering Shakya. For more background on the issue of violence and the Chushi Gangdruk resistance army backed by the CIA, here's a few excerpts from that interview.

Ken Knaus on Meeting the Dalai Lama

In excerpts from his interview on March 13, 2008, Ken Knaus, former CIA officer on the Tibetan Task Force, recounts his 3 meetings with the Dalai Lama over a period of 42 years. As an extension of his commentary in the last post, "Phala, the Dalai Lama and the CIA", Knaus' continuing story gives a deeper look at the conflict of violence for the Dalai Lama.

While some parts of the video here will probably be shown in the eventual feature documentary, most of what you'll see will only be seen on this blog. Interview excerpts like these, which you'll see more of in future posts, is for me one of the best things about Kefiblog--the ability to share all the good stuff the feature won't have time for.
