Dispatching U.S. war ships and tough-talking officials to the Middle East have been among the nation's responses to suicide attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon on September 11, 2001. In the midst of intense national grief, the Bush administration made ready to wage a "new kind of war." On this program, we raise critical questions about war, civil liberties, and U.S. intervention in the Middle East.
