PODCAST: Syria, Secrets, and Some Snark

Last night, Eli Lake of the Daily Beast and Daveed Gartenstein-Ross, a WOTR contributor, joined Senior Editor Mark Stout and me at the Jefferson Hotel, where we discussed some of the more pressing issues in foreign and security policy over drinks in one of their luxurious Cabinet Rooms:

  • The impending attack on Syria and what this says about President Obama’s foreign policy. Is there an Obama doctrine?
  • Does the government keep too many secrets? Why? Since we had a journalist and a former CIA analyst at the table, this was a fun one.

Good times were had by all. Have a listen.
