Jeremy Varon, member of Witness Against Torture, discusses why Obama isn't an improvement over Bush on torture and the rule of law, the Department of Justice's active role in denying due process to torture victims, the Appeals Court decision that gives immunity to government crimes under cover of state secrets and how the Left's inability to impeach Obama leaves the electoral process as the only means to remove him from office.

Scott interviews Yossi Gurvitz about the Knesset election in Israel, where Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stands to lose his position to Benny Gantz, the leader of Israel’s Blue and White party. Gurvitz explains some of the reasons Netanyahu’s tenure has been so bad for Israel, Palestinians, and the world, but says that the alternatives aren’t necessarily much better. At the moment the election is still too close to call.
Yossi Gurvitz is a freelance blogger and columnist. He writes extensively on the Israeli occupation. Find him on Twitter @ygurvitz.
