Summary

Freedom scholar Michael Ledeen and Foreign policy expert Joseph Cirincione, on this edition of Fresh Air. Michael Ledeen, the conservative thinker, holds the Freedom Chair at the American Enterprise Institute. He prefers the term "democratic revolutionary" to neoconservative. Ledeen has written many books on U.S. foreign policy and has consulted for the Bush Administration. He is a close ally of Karl Rove. He'll talk about the current and future U.S. policy toward Iran. He is in favor of regime change, but he believes the U.S. should encourage change from within the country, rather than launching an all-out attack. Formerly, Ledeen served as the executive director of the Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs, a group that was established to promote close military relations between the U.S. and Israel. During that time, Ledeen was involved in creating the arms for hostage trade known as the Iran-Contra affair. Ledeen is a regular contributor to National Review Online, American Spectator, and the Wall Street Journal. Then, Joseph Cirincione who is the senior vice president for National Security and International Policy at the Center for American Progress, a liberal think tank. He's been called a "nonproliferation guru". Prior to joining the Center for American Progress, Cirincione was director for nonproliferation at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. He is the author of the soon-to-be-published book Bomb Scare: the History and Future of Nuclear Weapons. Cirincione also teaches at Georgetown University's Graduate School of Foreign Service.
