Katie Halper’s brilliant mother, author Nora Eisenberg, joins the show to discuss her expertise surrounding various aspects of the Gulf War. In this segment, she discusses Timothy McVeigh, the way that he described his experiences in the Gulf War, and the abnormal brain scans that are common to him and several other Gulf War veterans who were exposed to war toxins, returned stateside, and committed very violent and extreme crimes. Nora quotes from an interview that McVeigh gave while on death row during which he describes feeling absolutely morally gutted when he encountered the “Highway of Death,” a stretch of road the U.S. had told Iraqi forces they could retreat peacefully through as they accepted defeat, but that U.S. forces subsequently blockaded and bombed. This moment seems to have been something of an apex of McVeigh’s anti-U.S. sentiment concerning what he saw during the war. ***Please support The Katie Halper Show *** On Patreon https://www.patreon.com/thekatiehalpe...
