Diane’s farewell message
After 52 years at WAMU, Diane Rehm says goodbye.
Guest Host: Andrea Seabrook
The Bush administration’s response to 9/11 included a review of the executive’s powers under the law to conduct domestic surveillance, detain and interrogate enemy combatants, and many other matters. An attorney who was involved in that process explains what went into that review and the administration’s decisions, and why he believes they were the right choices for the country.
