Summary

Tim Shorrock joined Scott on Antiwar Radio this week to discuss North Korea.

Shorrock and Scott discuss what’s happening, look at how close we got to a deal under Trump and revisit why this is all George W. Bush’s fault. Discussed on the show: “An Open Letter to Independent Lens about ‘Beyond Utopia’” (Medium) Tim Shorrock is the author of Spies For Hire: The Secret World of Intelligence Outsourcing and a regular contributor to The Nation and the Korea Center for Investigative Reporting.
