The 9/9/2001 Massoud Assassination

In this episode, Aaron and his illustrious CovertAction Magazine colleague, John Kiriakou, discuss the assassination of Ahmad Shah Massoud.  They are joined by two luminaries:  Peter Dale Scott and Pepe Escobar.  Peter is a retired UC Berkeley English professor, a renowned poet, and the legendary scholar who basically invented the study of parapolitics and deep politics. His books of poetry and prose include 'Coming to Jakarta', 'Deep Politics and the Death of JFK', 'The Road to 9/11', and 'The American Deep State'. Pepe Escobar is Editor at Large for Asia Times. For the last two decades, Escobar has been THE guy writing about the New Silk Road in China and Central Asia. He was also one of the last journalists to speak to Massoud before his death.
