The ever-original The Talking Dog has another original Q&A interview. Profiled this time: Professor David Scheffer, Professor of Law and Director, Center for International Human Rights, Northwestern University School of Law. Scheffer served as the United States Ambassador for War Crimes Issues from 1997 to 2001 during the second term of President Bill Clinton.
This is MUST READING no matter where you stand politically. What’s always fascinating is the kind of questioning. The Talking Dog is an attorney so he’s asking questions about law, PLUS an overview PLUS specifics — and then he opens all terrorism-related interviews with the same question to his interview subject…about where they were on 911.
