On this special episode, Dan and Kelley discuss the 20-year anniversary of the 9/11 attacks and the government's use and abuse of that horrifying event to advance its goals of military primacy, not only in Afghanistan and Iraq, but across the Middle East and at home here in the United States. They talk to Chris Coyne and Abigail Hall, authors of the recent books Manufacturing Militarism, and Tyranny Comes Home, about the use of propaganda after 9/11, the growth of the massive surveillance state, and the domestic war on terror.
