| Description: | The Center for Middle Eastern Studies presents Al Jazeera correspondent Josh Rushing, discussing this week's Iraqi elections and journalism in the U.S. and the Middle East.
Josh Rushing co-hosts "Fault Lines," Al Jazeera English's flagship current affairs program about the Americas, and is a contributing blogger for the Huffington Post. As an international correspondent, Rushing has hosted and produced programs all over the world, from war-torn Iraq to drug-fueled Colombia and bomb-laden Laos. Rushing's coverage in 2009 tackled issues such as the criminalization of the mentally ill in America by reporting from one of the nation's largest psychiatric units, the Harris County Jail in Houston, Texas, and the rise of dominionist Christians in the U.S. military.
Rushing released his first book in 2007, "Mission Al Jazeera: Build a Bridge, Seek the Truth, Change the World." The book blends his personal story with a unique behind-the-scenes look into the controversial Al Jazeera broadcast networks.
