694: Bend it Down

Saudi Arabia Human Rights and the Quincy Agreement

Producer Liz Gunther asks about the Quincy Agreement and its impact on U.S. policy toward Saudi Arabia despite the kingdom's human rights record. John C. Dvorak explains the 1945 meeting between FDR and King Abdulaziz on the USS Quincy, which established the foundation for the oil-for-security relationship. The hosts contrast the lack of media outrage over Saudi executions with the criticism directed at Russia.
