Description:

This interview comes in two versions: An hour and a half-hour.

The controversial Harvard Law professor, author and celebrity lawyer Alan Dershowitz talks about his latest book, "Preemption: A Knife That Cuts Both Ways", as well as his views on the Israeli-Hezbollah conflict, torture, human rights and our "war on terror." His premise: the world has changed, and international law must change with it. We need more tools, he argues, in the fight against terror networks whose recruits hold no fear of death or retribution.
Note: Although the subjects we discuss are controversial, my goal is not to argue with Alan, but to find out what he's thinking. My hope is that our conversation will provoke further discussion on these hot-button issues.
