9/11, Twenty-Five Years On

On the 25^th anniversary of September 11, we discuss the enduring legacy of that day. Our guests are Spencer Ackerman, author of Reign of Terror: How the 9/11 Era Destabilized America and Produced Trump and the newsletter, Forever Wars, and Iyad El-Baghdadi, co-author of The Middle East Crisis Factory and Editor-in-Chief of Kulna. I can’t think of two better people to explain how 9/11 still haunts Americans, the Middle East and the entire world.

Topics include:

• Their memories of the day

• The response to 9/11 in the Middle East

• How the “war on terror” exacerbated oppression in the Middle East

• How the US response to 9/11 affected immigration policy
