Following on the heels of the April 4 chemical attack in Khan Sheikhun in Syria's rebel-held Idlib province, the U.S. launched 59 Tomahawk cruise missiles against the air base said to have been where Bashar al-Assad's government launched an alleged sarin attack that reportedly killed some 80 civilians, including many children. The aftermath of the release of the horrific nerve agent was seen in videos played around the world, and was said to have been the impetus for Donald Trump reversing his position on Syria -- in which he had for years (and even days earlier) said the U.S. should not get involved. Nonetheless, without debate or Constitutional approval by the U.S. Congress, the U.S. launched a military assault on yet another sovereign nation. Today the Administration announced a new series of sanctions against the regime. But there has yet to be an international investigation of the incident. The evidence supporting the allegations that it was Assad, not the rebels or terrorists he is fighting against, was spelled out in an April 11 report issued by the White House -- a report, that notably, did not include the U.S. Intelligence services.\xa0 Theodore A. Postol, Professor Emeritus of Science, Technology and National Security Policy at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), charges the White House report cannot possibly be accurate and, furthermore, as Postol reports in 4 separate analyses, 'was not properly vetted by the intelligence community.' Postol, a physicist and rocket trajectory expert who has been vindicated a number of times over the years concerning similarly skeptical analyses -- including the U.S. use of Patriot missile technology in the first Gulf War, as well as White House claims about Assad's alleged chemical weapons attack in 2013 -- joins us today to explain his analyses and to discuss the remarkable lack of skeptical coverage of claims about the attack in the U.S. mainstream media.
