The episode documents the AUMF as a blank check for permanent war, the WMD deception that justified the Iraq invasion, de-Baathification and military dissolution as the seeds of catastrophe, the creation of ISIS as a direct consequence of American policy, the Afghanistan Papers’ revelation of systematic deception, and the absolute absence of accountability for the officials who designed and promoted these wars. This episode includes a special call-to-action at the end for an end to ignorance and apathy by the voter. This is a public episode.
