If you haven‘t yet come across it, you should listen to the recent Radiolab episode entitled „60 Words.“ It‘s a bit different from the standard Radiolab fare, instead presenting a somewhat chilling look into the infamous 60 words in the AUMF — the „Authorization to Use Military Force“ that was written immediately after the September 11, 2001 attacks, and whereby Congress basically gave the President the „authority“ to use the military to go after terrorists, no matter where they lived. The Radiolab episode was done in partnership with Gregory Johnsen of Buzzfeed, who had written up a similar piece a few months earlier, „60 Words And A War Without End.“ It talks about the history and importance of those 60 words — and also how the interpretation of those 60 words changed over time, in a very dangerous manner.
