The Dilemma of “The Donald”…
Is he an outlier that somehow came from an outer planet? Or is he the expected product of many years of disdain for government and the people?Why have we looked the other way when we knew that torture, rendition, drone warfare, and any number of transgressions were being committed in our name? Why did President Obama choose to “move forward” and refuse to appoint a special committee to investigate the possible serious transgressions which might have occurred? When did torture, Abu Ghraib and drones become the norm? Rochelle Gurstein, professor of history at the Bard Graduate Center, author of The Repeal of Reticence will discuss some of these issues.
