Very few people know what it is like to be in the infamous US detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, but our 3 guests for this episode have all had first hand experience.For one of them, it was as a detainee. Mansoor Adayfi was held, interrogated and tortured at Guantanamo for over 14 years. For Pardiss Kebriaei, it was as an attorney. Pardiss is a Senior Staff Attorney at the Center for Constitutional Rights, and has worked with Guantanamo detainees since 2007. Finally, for Karen Greenberg, it was as an historian. Karen is Director of the Center on National Security at Fordham Law, and author of a number of books, including 'The Least Worst Place: Guantanamo's First 100 Days'.So how did Guantanamo Bay become the locus of a detention centre? How did nearly 800 people come to be detained there? And how has it changed over time? Don finds out.Mansoor's books include 'Don't Forget Us Here' and the audiobook 'Letters from Guantanamo', available on audible.Produced by Sophie Gee.

This episode looks at two films from the “War on Terrorism”: Zero Dark Thirty (2012), directed by Kathryn Bigelow and written Mark Boal; and The Report (2019), written and directed by Scott Z. Burns. Zero Dark Thirty, which stars Jessica Chastain as a CIA agent, depicts the nearly decade-long hunt for Osama bin Laden. The Report, which stars Adam Driver, examines the investigation by the Senate Intelligence Committee, led by Senator Dianne Feinstein, into the CIA's detention and interrogation program. The films are often in dialogue with each other, and offer competing accounts of the U.S. government's embrace of torture after 9/11.Timestamps:0:00     Introduction3:00     How the films offer dueling accounts of the post-9/11 era5:59     Zero Dark Thirty's problematic depiction of torture9:53     The real-life model for Zero Dark Thirty's Maya (Jessica Chastain)? 13:10   The CIA's Bin Laden unit15:49   The “forever war” 21:22   Legacies of the “war on terror” 23:24   The Senate Select Intelligence Committee investigation 26:06   Lawyers and the CIA torture program33:20   The 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force35:11   SERE Program: Psychologists James Mitchell and Bruce Jessen 37:15   Abu Zubaydah: The first prisoner in the CIA torture program 42:17   The Report and the problem of asking “Did torture work”?48:15   The myth of American exceptionalismFurther Reading:Cole, David, “Taking Responsibility for Torture,” New Yorker (Dec. 9, 2014), https://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/taking-responsibility-torture Coll, Steve, “'Disturbing' and ‘Misleading': Judging Zero Dark Thirty's claims to journalism,” New York Review of Books (Feb. 7, 2013), nybooks.com/articles/2013/02/07/disturbing-misleading-zero-dark-thirty/ Greenberg, Karen, “How Zero Dark Thirty Brought Back the Bush Administration,” TomDispatch (Jan. 10, 2013),  https://tomdispatch.com/karen-greenberg-how-zero-dark-thirty-brought-back-the-bush-administration/Mayer, Jane, “Zero Conscience in ‘Zero Dark Thirty',” New Yorker https://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/zero-conscience-in-zero-dark-thirty “Report of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, Committee Study of the CIA's Detention and Interrogation Program (Executive Summary) (Dec. 2014), https://www.intelligence.senate.gov/sites/default/files/publications/CRPT-113srpt288.pdfSeibold, Witney, “The Zero Dark Thirty Controversy: Explained,” Slashfilm, (updated Nov. 28, 2021), https://www.slashfilm.com/671508/the-zero-dark-thirty-controversy-explained/Wright, Lawrence, The Looming Tower: Al-Qaeda and the Road to 9/11 (Knopf, 2007)      Law on Film is created and produced by Jonathan Hafetz.

Taking readers from Ground Zero to the Capitol Insurrection, Karen Greenberg describes the subtle tools that were forged under George W. Bush in the name of security — all of which had profound effects on democracy. She details these tools in a new book, "Subtle Tools: The Dismantling of American Democracy from the War on Terror to Donald Trump," which she discusses with Julian Zelizer in this episode. Greenberg is director of the Center on National Security at Fordham Law, an international studies fellow at New America, and a permanent member of the Council on Foreign Relations.  This recording debuted as a virtual book talk sponsored by the Princeton Public Library on Jan. 6, the anniversary of the insurrection. This interview was first recorded as a virtual public book talk sponsored by the Princeton Public Library Library. 

Ever since January 2002, the US prison at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba has become synonymous for many with abuse of prisoners and disregard for the rule of law. Of its 39 remaining prisoners, 18 are cleared for release, but waiting for a country to take them. Is there hope that this jail will be shut down under US President Joe Biden? Host Steve Clemons asks lawyer John Bellinger III, one of the top legal advisers to the White House and State Department during the establishment of “Gitmo” in the Bush administration; and Karen Greenberg, director of the Center on National Security.

January 14, 2022--On Forthright Radio, host Joy LaClaire talks with Karen Greenberg, Director of the Center on National Security at Fordham Law, about her work and her latest book, SUBTLE TOOLS: THE DISMANTLING OF AMERICAN DEMOCRACY FROM THE WAR ON TERROR TO DONALD TRUMP.

How did Donald Trump manage to turn America into a political dystopia?  Karen Greenberg, the Director of the Center on National Security at Fordham University Law School answers that question in her new book Subtle Tools.  Trumpism starts by corrupting language continues by undermining government structures and processes and hiding the impact through secrecy. 

On this episode of Going Underground, we speak to public-health expert Professor John Ashton. He discusses the House of Commons' Health and Science Committees' report on the UK's coronavirus response and how it exposes the government as having been seriously unprepared. Its disastrous policies, he says, led to deaths in care homes early in the pandemic and, later, to the UK's death rate being one of the highest among developed countries. He goes on to discuss how the UK has fallen behind with its vaccination program compared to Europe. He pulls no punches, calling it “social murder” committed through “arrogance and incompetence.” And democracy, he says, is under threat as a result of the government's recklessness. He goes on to criticize the consultants who have become extremely wealthy through the development of the discredited, privatised NHS Test and Trace service, and the possibility that further lockdowns will be imposed. In the second half, we speak to Karen Greenberg, author of ‘Subtle Tools: The Dismantling of American Democracy from the War on Terror to Donald Trump'. She discusses what she calls the US' “subtle tools” of international coercion, such as torture and drone strikes, which have furthered US foreign policy since 9/11, but led only to further strife. She goes on to explore the degradation of language to make policy boundaries deliberately vague, citing the Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq Resolution of 1991, which precipitated the First Gulf War, its wording enabling broader US military interventions. Barack Obama continued the use of those “subtle tools,” meaning they were left on the table for Donald Trump, whom she says had no respect for either procedure or the law. Lastly, she goes onto explain how they have since been used domestically, both in immigration policy and at the southern border.

The infamous prison camp at the US Navy Base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, was opened in early 2002 to house alleged terrorists the U.S. apprehended in Afghanistan. The camp became notorious as a symbol of U.S. human rights abuses. President Joe Biden has pledged to finally close it. Will he succeed? Karen Greenberg, Director of the Center on National Security at Fordham Law, joins us today to break it all down. Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.com

On that gorgeous Tuesday morning twenty years ago, Kristen Breitweiser was one of thousands who's lives were shattered forever. Her husband Ron, a Senior VP at a brokerage firm was working on the 94th floor of the World Trade Center South Tower when Al-Qaeda terrorists hijacked the plane that crashed into the building. The second wave of a terrorist attack that killed nearly three thousand. Breitweiser soon emerged as one of the most outspoke 9/11 family members, a trained lawyer that prodded lawmakers to create the national commission to investigate the attack. And ever since she's embarked on a tireless campaign demanding accountability for the terrorists and for those in authority who allowed the attack to happen. As the country commemorates the twentieth anniversary of 9/11, we talked to Breitweiser about her own recollections of that terrible day and what still needs to be done. And then we talked to Karen Greenberg, Director of the Center on National Security at Fordham Law, and the author of a new book about how 9/11 transformed the country's politics.

It was an era in which lawmakers and office holders learned that imprecision could actually work to their benefit to allow them to do what they wanted to because there was unclear codification in the law. And so yes, everybody talks about, we have to revise this law or get rid of this law or replace this law. But I want to say, it's not about that. It's about what constitutes a legitimately written, voted upon law. And I think that's something we still haven't countered since 9/11.Karen GreenbergA full transcript is available at www.democracyparadox.com or a brief primer on the War on Terror here.Karen Greenberg is the director of the Center on National Security at Fordham Law, a fellow at New America, and a member of the Council on Foreign Relations.

There’s one political prediction that always comes true: record turnout in one election will be followed by a tidal wave of voter suppression efforts before the next one. So it’s not surprising that, after 2020 had record turnout, 2021 is seeing voting rights under attack nationwide by Republican-controlled state legislatures. Georgia has taken the lead—and Georgia is being challenged in court by the ACLU, along with the LDF (the NAACP’s Legal Defense Fund) and the Southern Poverty Law Center. Dale Ho comments: he’s Director of the ACLU’s Voting Rights Project, and supervises the ACLU’s voting rights litigation nationwide. Also: Joe Biden and Congress should end our forever wars--and they can--by starting with three key steps: Karen Greenberg explains. She is director of the Center on National Security at Fordham Law School and author, most recently, of Rogue Justice: The Making of the Security State.

As women continue to be hit by job loss, increased home responsibilities, family caretaking, unaccounted for invisible labor, homelessness and domestic violence, it’s clear the COVID-19 pandemic has revealed underlying institutional and infrastructural inequalities in our society. It’s time to check in on and reimagine the international status of women and girls. What would a feminist foreign policy agenda look like in the United States? How does it look globally? How does it take into account vulnerable women and girls? What hope exists for ending inequality based on race, sex and gender?

May 22, 3:00 PM Bernie is back on Page One of the New York Times, but their report last weekend was not about his new plan to save public schools–the most progressive education program in modern American history–or his proposal to end all subsidies for oil and gas companies. Instead, it was about a trip he made to Nicaragua in 1985, more than 30 years ago. They didn't like it. How do we explain the New York Times's coverage of Bernie Sanders? Amy Wilentz comments. Plus: There are 1,000 redactions in the 448 pages of the Mueller report--individual names and entire pages--that we are not allowed to see. They are part of a larger problem of government secrecy which started long before Trump and which is now threatening to cripple our democracy—Karen Greenberg explains.

Karen Greenberg has spent the last 15 years studying the intersection of national security, terrorism and civil liberties. She's currently the director of the Center on National Security at Fordham Law School.   She's authored several books on the subject including most recently Rogue Justice: the Making of the Security State. In 2009 she wrote the critically acclaimed Least Worst Place: Guantanamo's First 100 Days. We kick off discussing why was it that President Obama, having come to office eight years ago promising to shut down the Guantanamo prison, failed to do so.    Karen is someone who has been on my radar since the early Bush years and the debate over the Patriot Act, but I was fascinated and interested to learn how her career in foreign policy and national security was really launched while working with dissidents from Eastern Europe during the Soviet era. It's a great conversation. Animated for sure. And I think you'll like it.    Quick announcement before we start: if you are listening to this contemporaneously and are in Chicagoland come to a live recording of the podcast with special guest former US Ambassador to the UN Zalmay Khalilzad on January 19. Send me an email via the contact page on GlobalDispatchespodcast.com and I can get you a complimentary ticket!
