Continuing with the effort to explore how the wounded lets the light enter, the episode features a conversation with an attorney whose work is devoted to defending the constitutional rights of people against governmental abuse in the context of national security. In particular, the host and her guest speak about the men who were/are held Guantanamo Bay, as a result of America's campaign against terrorism following the 9/11 attack on the World Trade Center. The discussion centers on what has been stripped of their humanity, how these men manage to hold on to their humanity in the face of ongoing dehumanization, and how their attorneys connect with these men.
