ISIS Prosecutions, Death of the Dodo, COLD

What to Do with Americans Who Joined ISIS Guest: Eric Jensen, JD, Professor of International Law, BYU J. Reuben Clark Law School Hundreds of ISIS fighters surrendered this week in Eastern Syria where the US is backing the final push to force the terrorist group out of their last enclave. Once the battle has been won, then comes the problem of what to do with the ISIS fighters that have been captured? The answer is particularly tricky when the prisoner is an American citizen. We’re seeing a case of this play out in the courts right now –a 24-year old woman who was a college student in Alabama went to Syria four years ago to join ISIS and marry a fighter. Now she’s in a refugee camp over there with her baby, expressing remorse and hoping to come back to the US. But the Trump Administration is fighting that. Famous Dodo Died a Violent Death Guests: Mark Williams, Professor of Metrology, WMG at University of Warwick; Paul Smith, Director, Oxford University Museum of Natural History In Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, there’s a scene with a dodo that was inspired by a famous actual dodo on display at the Oxford University Museum of Natural History in England. The dodo is that stumpy bird that can’t fly and has been extinct for 300 years. Lewis Carroll apparently spent a lot of time at the Oxford museum. In his story, the Dodo challenges Alice and some other creatures to a silly race in which everybody wins. Which is ironic, because the dodo that inspired the story turns out to have died a violent death only recently exposed by scientists studying the Oxford specimen.
