| We are joined by Ali Soufan the author of a new book “The Black Banners: The Inside Story of 9/11 and the War against Al Qaeda”. Ali Soufan is a former FBI Special Agent who served on the front lines against Al Qaeda and gained an international reputation as a top counterterrorism operative and interrogator. We explore in depth the issues of torture, strategy and political cover-up with this important insider who fills in some holes in the insufficient public knowledge available in regard to these momentous events that have shaped the last decade and continue to dominate our lives. |

| Then we are joined by Robert Johnson, the Executive Director of the Institute for New Economic Thinking. He has just met with top officials of the IMF who are concerned that the global economy is in dangerous territory as the European debt crisis threatens to drag us into a deeper recession or even a depression. We will find out what measures might be taken to reverse the drift and calm the markets. |
