2/18/22 Doug Bandow on Yemen and Ukraine
Scott talks with Doug Bandow about the escalation of the war in Yemen and the tension with Russia over Ukraine. Bandow explains why the Hawk’s characterization of Iran’s involvement in Yemen is deceptive. They also discuss how it’s in the interest of every faction with decision-making power to keep the war going. Towards the end, they turn to the situation in eastern Europe. Bandow points to a number of topics that often get left out of discussions on this issue— such as the misdeeds of Ukrainian Nationalists and NATO’s history of pushing Russia around— that help to paint a more realistic picture of what is happening.
Discussed on the show:
- “Biden Administration Goes All in for Saudis and Emiratis” (Antiwar.com)
- Dave Smith explaining the Yemen War to Joe Rogan
Doug Bandow is a senior fellow at the Cato Institute and a regular contributor at Forbes Magazine, the National Interest, and elsewhere. He’s on Twitter @Doug_Bandow.

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.

11/16/10 – Jason Ditz – The Scott Horton Show
Jason Ditz, managing news editor at Antiwar.com, discusses the Obama administration’s change in Afghanistan policy from a 2011 withdrawal to a 2014 ‘transition,’ soaring civilian casualties from increased Predator drone strikes in AfPak, the schism developing between Hamid Karzai and Gen. Petraeus over night raids, the surprising suggestion for an Afghanistan drawdown from the usually-hawkish Council on Foreign Relations and the media’s short attention span that lets the military get away with progress ‘yardsticks’ that inevitably fail to deliver.

11/16/10 – Juan Cole – The Scott Horton Show
Juan Cole, Professor of History and author of Engaging the Muslim World, discusses the seeming triumph of Iranian-preferred candidate Nouri al-Maliki as Iraq’s Prime Minister, looming conflicts from planned Kurdish expansionism into Arab-majority regions, the short-term marginalization of Moqtada al-Sadr and how the Ayad Allawi walkout shows the disenfranchisement of Iraq’s Sunni minority.

11/16/10 – Angela Keaton – The Scott Horton Show
Angela Keaton, Antiwar.com Development Director and Antiwar Radio producer, discusses how your donations help continue the invaluable foreign policy news source that is Antiwar.com, a reminder that Antiwar.com is a nonprofit agency and donations are tax deductible (so you can fight the wars instead of contribute to them) and the November 24th National Opt-Out Day TSA protest put together by Antiwar.com supporters.

Jacob Hornberger, founder and president of the Future of Freedom Foundation, discusses the history of FFF.org and the reading materials behind his conversion from liberal Democrat to Libertarian, the forewarning from Chalmers Johnson’s prescient book Blowback: The Costs and Consequences of American Empire that was written before 9/11, why Americans must choose to either abandon their empire or live under it, the mostly-unseen inflation tax that disproportionately effects the poor and the ongoing struggle between libertarians and statists.

11/15/10 – Chip Pitts – The Scott Horton Show
Chip Pitts, lecturer at Stanford Law School, discusses the government’s continuing attack on the Bill of Rights, Obama’s asserted power of extrajudicial assassination that would seem to be in violation of due process in the Fifth Amendment, the steady erosion of dignity for air travelers subject to TSA security theater, the ACLU/CCR lawsuit challenging the government’s ability to assassinate Anwar al-Awlaki, the threat of a global arms race in predator drones and why the US response to terrorism so far has only made the problem worse.

11/12/10 – James Bamford – The Scott Horton Show
James Bamford, author of The Shadow Factory: The Ultra-Secret NSA from 9/11 to the Eavesdropping on America, discusses the National Security Agency’s surveillance infrastructure, how the 2008 FISA Amendments Act eliminated any meaningful oversight or accountability for wiretapping, Obama’s broken promise to oppose retroactive telecom lawsuit immunity, the Catch-22 of surveillance legal challenges where a litigant can’t sue without evidence of illegal wiretapping but all such records are classified and unobtainable, the Israeli companies that provide software (alleged to contain backdoor access) and hardware to the NSA, the 9/11 Commission’s failure to mention or investigate the NSA and how turf war jealousies (and not legal prohibitions) prevented intelligence agencies from sharing information that would have prevented the 9/11 attacks.

11/12/10 – Philip Giraldi – The Scott Horton Show
Former CIA officer Philip Giraldi discusses the very-delayed 2010 National Intelligence Estimate on Iran, the clouding of Iran’s clear NPT right to uranium enrichment for civilian nuclear power with talk about ambiguous ‘breakout’ capabilities, the US rejection of Iran’s fair 3-party uranium swap proposal with Turkey and Brazil, how the constantly moving US diplomatic goalposts make it clear Iran’s nuclear program will never be tolerated and the warm Washington welcome for members of FBI-designated terrorist group MEK.
