Former CIA Bin Laden unit chief Michael Scheuer appeared on Russia Today (RT) to argue that U.S. foreign policy, rather than a hatred of "freedom," is the primary driver of Islamic terrorism. Scheuer criticized the influence of the "Jewish American community" on Congress regarding support for Israel. The hosts suggest that while Scheuer's "blowback" argument aligns with Ron Paul, his comments on ethnic influence may lead to him being banned from mainstream media.
