Jeremy Scahill & Joshua Foust on the U.S. Policy & Covert War in Yemen as Protests Aim to Oust Saleh

Hundreds of thousands took to the streets of Yemen on Wednesday as part of the unwavering protests for the resignation of U.S.-backed President Ali Abdullah Saleh. Democracy Now! interviews investigative journalist Jeremy Scahill of The Nation, who argues the U.S. secret war has unintentionally played a significant role in weakening Saleh's regime. Also interviewed is Joshua Foust, who recently left his post as Yemen analyst at the Defense Intelligence Agency.
