Sometimes an attack is not a single event. Sometimes people are
under siege. In this program, a series of bombings has pushed a
large American city to the limits of its nerves when a much more
ominous threat emerges: could a massive dirty bomb arrive in the
harbor just in time for the Fourth of July? With 5,000 shipping
containers landing daily, how many can be examined and how
effectively? As the pressure mounts, who comes under suspicion of
complicity? For what reasons? How are they investigated, and under
what rules of law? When evidence finally points to a specific
suspect, how far do we go in an interrogation? With the minutes
ticking down and the stakes growing, is torture allowable? Who sets
the rules for such an engagement and when are they set? Charles
Ogletree, Harvard Law School professor, moderates.
