Anwar al-Awlaki Drone Strike and CIA Extraction Theory
The hosts discuss the reported killing of U.S. citizen Anwar al-Awlaki by a drone strike in Yemen. Dvorak posits that al-Awlaki was an actor (referring to him as "Terry Greenberg") and that the event was a CIA extraction rather than a killing. They analyze White House Press Secretary Jay Carney's refusal to provide proof of al-Awlaki's operational involvement in terrorism.
The hosts discuss Samir Khan, the American editor of Inspire magazine who was also killed in the Yemen drone strike. They question why his family hasn't filed a wrongful death suit. Dvorak predicts that Obama may face legal issues in the International Criminal Court in the future and questions when drones will be used in Mexico or against domestic protesters.
A New York Times report details Al-Qaeda's criticism of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad regarding his 9/11 conspiracy theories. The segment introduces Samir Khan, an American-born Al-Qaeda propagandist in Yemen, and predicts his name will become a prominent fixture in future intelligence-led news cycles.
