October 23, 2015

James Connell, Lead Defense Counsel at Guantanamo Bay, joins the Chief, Kathy Dervin, and Kevin Riordan to talk about Guantanamo. James discusses the difficulties in trying to get fair trials for the Guantanamo prisoners and substantial Guantanamo-Chicago connections including Homan Square and CPD Detective Richard Zuley who was brought to Guantanamo to torture inmates. The Chief and Kathy also ask James about what his life is like, from weather to walmart, when he’s down there. In the last half hour the Chief discusses Amazon and the “negative-yield universe” that is seizing European markets. David Andalman joins the show in the last few minutes to discuss whether cash currency is on the out.
