Description:

In March, Aram Roston of Buzzfeed broke a story that the CIA is using small teams of commandos to conduct targeted attacks on terrorists. Roston's article, “Trump's CIA Has Set Up Teams To Kill Terrorists,” looks at how the Bush and Obama administrations set a precedent for this practice and how the power of The Special Activities Center allows for it. Roston also shows how these tactics indicate that private companies like Blackwater have influenced counter-terrorism efforts under the Trump administration.

This segment is guest hosted by Hari Kondabolu.
