253: Love Pats

Viktor Bout Extradition, DEA Sting Operation

International arms dealer Viktor Bout, known as the "Merchant of Death," was extradited from Thailand to New York to face terrorism charges. The hosts deconstruct a CBS Radio report by Charles Osgood, arguing it was a scripted piece of propaganda. They suggest Bout was a "patsy" caught in a DEA sting involving the FARC in Colombia, potentially as part of a larger geopolitical maneuver involving Russia and Venezuela.
