About this episode

It’s called the longest war in US history, so why does the US fight in Afghanistan? Is it the poppyseeds? Maybe it’s the oil? Or perhaps there’s a much bigger, longer-term reason the US has for staying there. We look into the big elephant sitting in the room.

Plus the latest in the hunt for home grown terrorist, the stoner who hacked the CIA director’s AOL email & the drone policy you need to know about.
