February 2, 2010 – Gareth Porter – The Scott Horton Show – Episode 1114
Gareth Porter, independent historian and journalist for Inter Press Service, discusses the Obama administration's inability to negotiate an Afghan peace deal, differing opinions on whether the troop surge will ultimately help or hurt U.S. diplomatic leverage with the Taliban, the possibility a constitutional rewrite will bring back Sharia law and snuff out Afghanistan's fledgling "democracy", the high likelihood of renewed civil war even with a U.S.-brokered peace deal and the slightly improved Afghan justice system that allows defense lawyers but rejects acquittals.

Blogger Marcy Wheeler discusses Ecuador’s decision to grant diplomatic asylum to Wikileaks’ Julian Assange; consequent British threats to revoke embassy sovereignty and detain Assange by force; the broad assumption that US pressure is forcing the British overreaction; Sweden’s previous cooperation with CIA torture rendition requests; and why this is probably all about extraditing Assange to the US, where he’ll be put in Guantanamo or prosecuted under the Espionage Act.

Gareth Porter, independent historian and journalist for Inter Press Service, discusses the US military's descriptive excesses that preceded their offensive on the Afghan "city" of Marjah, the US counterinsurgency strategy of establishing a favorable narrative to shape domestic public opinion, the winners and losers in the global war on terrorism and the military-industrial complex's goal of permanent occupation.

The Other Scott Horton (no relation), international human rights lawyer, professor and contributing editor at Harper's magazine, discusses the one year anniversary of Obama's broken promise to close Guantanamo; the politicization of terrorism prosecutions, normally the purview of professional prosecutors and not Congress; authorization in the Army Field Manual Appendix M for subjecting prisoners to long-term sensory deprivation; recent court rulings that grant high government officials immunity from prosecution, even for torture, much to the relief of Donald Rumsfeld; how the Gulet Mohamed case casts doubt on the end of "torture by proxy" under Obama; and why the AUMF catchall justification is applicable in the Afghanistan/Pakistan border region but not in Yemen or Somalia.
