At The Table

"I would be careful about assessing the truth" [Aki Peritz interview re: Iran]


Listen Later

Aki Peritz is a former CIA counterterrorism analyst and author of Find Fix Finish. Peritz discusses how decision-makers are presented with intelligence and options from those in the military or intelligence communities, and how that system may have worked (or not) with President Trump over the last few days with Iran. Even as the president assures he "likes to follow the law" re: targeting cultural sites, this is an administration and an electorate that seems enthusiastic about flouting rules of engagement and committing war crimes. How will that color the 2020 election?
