André Vltchek on Western terrorism, Ajamu Baraka on "humanitarian intervention"

My next two shows feature two of our leading public intellectuals, discussing two timely topics, "Western terrorism" and "humanitarian intervention". . . which amount to the same thing these days, the latter being a euphemism for the former. You might even say that "humanitarian intervention" is an oxymoron like "jumbo shrimp" and "military intelligence."
