Episode: Assassinations and Occupations
Starting with a discussion of the September 30, 2011 assassination of U.S. citizen Anwar al-Awlaki in Yemen, we explore with listeners the implications of the new U.S. policy of officially sanctioned extra-judicial killings. We, also, discuss the significance of the Occupy Wall Street movement which is now in its fourth week and has spread to about 25 American cities. What is driving the protests? What are the protesters' objectives and where might the movement go from here?
