This week Kelley & Dan talk to Hina Shamsi, director of the ACLU National Security Project, which focuses on unconstitutional policies (think drone war, PATRIOT Act, torture) in U.S. policies, particularly in its Global War on Terror. Shamsi describes for us the evolution of Washington's targeted killing program through Obama and Trump, and up to the latest lethal drone strike that killed 10 civilians in Afghanistan. In the first segment, Kelley & Dan talk about Biden's plan to sell nuclear submarine technology to the Australians in another bid to build a security alliance against China.
