First, our panel discussion looks at America’s trend toward (and ramifications of) food irradiation.

Then, a fascinating interview with Mike German. As an FBI undercover agent during the 1990s, he disrupted terrorist cells and was critical to convicting terrorists. In 2002, he joined a counter-terrorism investigation in the FBI’s Tampa Division, which set in motion a chain of chilling events that led to his blowing the whistle on illegal wiretaps and, ultimately, to his resignation from the FBI after 16 years of service in 2004. Today, German is the national security counsel for the ACLU.
