Beyond the Pale is back on the air at last, though WBAI has still not been able to get back into our studios on Wall Street.  Hence this week we decided to rebroadcast two still relevant interviews that we aired back in November and December 2007.  We talk with:

• Avner Cohen, author of Israel and The Bomb about the origins of the long standing U.S. policy of "don't ask don't tell" towards Israel's nuclear progam and subsequent U.S. policy toward India, Pakistan and Iran.  His most recent book on the subject was published in 2010 by Columbia University Press: The Worst Kept Secret: Israel's Bargain with the Bomb.
• Naomi Klein, author of  The Shock Doctrine about how conservatives exploit natural disasters, wars and other crises to forward their agenda of radical privatization. Read Naomi Klein's Superstorm Sandy: a People's Shock? in The Nation.
