5/28/21 John Kiriakou on the Persecution of Daniel Hale
John Kiriakou discusses the case of hero whistleblower Daniel Hale, who helped expose the White House’s secret drone assassination program during the Obama administration. Hale has pled guilty to one charge under the espionage act, in an effort to win the mercy of the court, but he still faces four other charges, which at the moment the Justice Department is refusing to back down from. Hale is now facing at least some time in prison, but could be given a much longer sentence, depending on how things go in the coming months. Scott and Kiriakou remind us that, of course, Hale shouldn’t be facing any charges at all: the secret activities he exposed—namely the killing of civilians—are criminal, and therefore can’t be classified in the first place under U.S. law.

09/10/07 – Michael Scheuer – The Scott Horton Show
‘Well, you know, the only people taking ‘marching orders’ from Osama bin Laden, as far as I can tell, are every presidential candidate, Mr. Clinton and Mr.Bush — except Mr. Paul. Mr. Paul has it very square about what the motivation of our enemy is, and it’s certainly exactly what he said it is, intervention. ”¦
‘Really, it is the American political establishment that is marching to al Qaeda’s beat, not Mr. Paul.’
Michael Scheuer, former head analyst at the CIA’s bin Laden unit and author of Imperial Hubris, discusses:
- His view of the legitimacy of the new bin Laden tape and the mention of his book
- His belief that current U.S. foreign policy is exactly what bin Laden wants and that Rep. Ron Paul M.D. has the best understanding of the enemy, their motivations and how to deal with them
- The sad fact that bin Laden wins whether America leaves Iraq now or later
- The ‘near’ and ‘far’ enemy
- The situation in Afghanistan and Pakistan and what he believes should be done there
- Why he believes that al Qaeda wants to detonate a nuke here
- His support for the conclusions of Robert A. Pape in his book Dying to Win that suicide bombing is caused by foreign occupation and the role of religion in the motivation of al Qaeda (they believe they’re defending theirs)
- The role of the mujahedeen in the 1999 Kosovo War
- The lack of threat posed to America by Syria and Iran and of cooperative links between Iran and al Qaeda
- The expansion of the war to Africa
- The impossibility of an ‘al Qaeda in Iraq’ takeover in the event of U.S. withdrawal
- The degree of the danger that AQI represents in the long term
- He and his CIA colleagues review of the evidence of connections between Iraq and al Qaeda for the CIA before the Iraq war and their report to George Tenet of the fact that there were none
