1/13/22 Trita Parsi on the American Public’s Influence on US Foreign Policy
Trita Parsi of the Quincy Institute recently wrote a piece in a German publication arguing that the noninterventionist sentiment of the Trump years was not an arbitration. So Scott brought him on to talk about it. They discuss Parsi’s expectations for the future of Europe’s security structure. They then get into whether or not public opinion has any impact on American foreign policy. Next, they discuss how global perceptions of Biden’s political situation are affecting the Iran deal negotiations. Lastly, they touch on the continuing war in Yemen.
Discussed on the show:
- “The end of American adventurism abroad” (IPS)
- Doomsday by Daniel Ellsberg
- “Biden’s Shameful Silence on Saudi Arabia’s War in Yemen” (The New Republic)
- “In Strategic Shift, U.S. Draws Closer to Yemeni Rebels” (Wall Street Journal)
Trita Parsi is the Executive Vice President of the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft and the author of Losing an Enemy: Obama, Iran and the Triumph of Diplomacy. Parsi is the recipient of the 2010 Grawemeyer Award for Ideas Improving World Order. Follow him on Twitter @tparsi.

11/18/10 – Daphne Eviatar – The Scott Horton Show
Daphne Eviatar, Senior Associate in Law and Security for Human Rights First, discusses the relatively fair federal trial that ended in Ahmed Ghailani‘s conviction of a conspiracy charge related to the 1998 (US) Africa embassy bombings, another example of a civilian terrorism trial with a guilty verdict and no security threats (despite the fear-mongering of Liz Cheney’s Keep America Safe group), the far harsher sentences given in federal terrorism trials than in Guantanamo’s military commissions and why the prosecution of child-soldier Omar Khadr for war crimes is itself a war crime.

11/17/10 – Gary Leupp – The Scott Horton Show
Gary Leupp, Professor of History at Tufts University and CounterPunch contributing writer, discusses the very confusing Yemeni toner cartridge bomb story as told by the mainstream media, the lack of agreement even among heads of state on the plot’s most basic details, why Yemen is far more concerned with internal domestic conflicts than an al-Qaeda presence, speculation that former Guantanamo prisoner Jabir al-Fayti — who supposedly tipped off the Saudis about the packages — is a double agent, the nonexistent investigation into who (allegedly) stole the identity of the woman whose name was used to mail the packages and why this likely false flag operation could be part of a turf war between the CIA and JSOC.
