## About this episode

A landmark report from Stanford and NYU exposes the 'double tap' drone strike tactic in Pakistan, where follow-up missiles target first responders and civilians attempting to rescue the wounded. This revelation contrasts sharply with President Obama’s United Nations address on the right to assemble without fear, as CIA-operated drones maintain 24/7 surveillance and psychological terror over residential areas. The study highlights a grim reality of lethal technology that mainstream media outlets like NPR frequently frame as a strategic game between national security bloggers.

In the United Kingdom, Prime Minister David Cameron faced scrutiny after failing a basic history quiz on the Magna Carta during an appearance on the Late Show with David Letterman. Meanwhile, the BBC issued a formal apology to Queen Elizabeth for disclosing her private concerns regarding the extradition of radical cleric Abu Hamza. In the United States, Ambassador Susan Rice remains under fire for her initial characterization of the Benghazi consulate attack, while a massive drug lab scandal in Massachusetts threatens to overturn thousands of criminal convictions due to falsified evidence and improper handling by state technicians.

Cultural oddities round out the analysis, from a University of Tennessee student’s hospitalization following a dangerous 'alcohol enema' to the viral Facebook riot that devastated the Dutch village of Haren. Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak also weigh the merits of a $166 monthly lease on a Chevy Volt against the risks of proprietary parts. The show concludes with a look at Howard Stern’s street interviews, which reveal a startling lack of basic political awareness among the American electorate as the 2012 election approaches.
