Topic: James Bamford

The discussion focuses on Operation Northwoods, a declassified 1962 plan by the Joint Chiefs of Staff to commit acts of terrorism in U.S. cities to blame on Cuba. James Bamford's reporting is cited to illustrate how the government considers hijacking aircraft and sinking ships as valid pretexts for war. The hosts argue that if such plans existed in the 1960s, similar operations are likely active today.
