The Brian Lehrer Show

Free Trade in Terror

Tuesday, May 10, 2005

In her new book, Terror Incorporated: Tracing the Dollars Behind the Terror Network, economist Loretta Napoleoni argues that terrorist group finances are so woven into our mainstream financial institutions that we’re ambivalent about really following the money trail. Also: “Slacker Mom” meets “Overachiever Mom” and the next installment in the New York 51 series: City Council Member Margarita Lopez (D) on life and politics on the Lower East Side.
