Suleiman abu Ghaith will be the highest figure in al Qaeda to stand trial in the United States. What can he tell American intelligence agencies about al Qaeda? Reportedly he lived in Iran for ten years. What might he divulge about that? Does he know anything at all any more about possible terrorist plots against the US? Also, President Karzai says the Taliban is killing Afghans "in service to America," and today's guilty verdict in the trial of Detroit's former mayor on corruption charges. Mike Shuster guest hosts this rebroadcast of today's To the Point.
