US Navy Veteran: No Way Iran Hit Those Ships

Fmr. Operations Specialist Chief Petty Officer James Reilly writes: I've spent years on board US naval warships in the gulf. Multiple. Not over the course of years. I mean the amount of time I have spent on board a US naval warship floating in the Persian gulf adds up to many years. My job was to watch Iran like a hawk. I've tracked their ships. I've intercepted their aircraft. I have been in charge of Command and Control operations where Iran was our chief objective. My job was to know and understand the operational, strategic and tactical functions of the IRGC. To know what to expect, and...

Discussed on the show: "Pentagon's phony Iran "evidence": New rationale for U.S. intervention?" (Salon.com) "UAE accuses 'state actor' for tanker attacks, but stops just short of Iran" (Fox News) Gareth Porter is an...

6/10/19 Patrick Eddington on the US Spying Apparatus

Scott interviews Patrick Eddington about the surveillance of U.S. citizens and the legislation that allows it. Although the USA Freedom Act ostensibly rolls back the NSA's metadata program, it really only tweaks a technicality of whom the organization allowed to spy on, and has done nothing to limit the overall amount of data collected. Similar efforts to curtail the surveillance apparatus have met with concerns of increased terrorism. But Eddington reminds us that there's never been a single proven case where electronic surveillance prevented an attack, so these programs do nothing but...
