The
United States has just come away with an agreement that would effectively dismantle Iran’s nuclear weapons program – so why are Republicans trying to torpedo it? We talk to Gareth Porter, author most recently of Manufactured Crisis: the Untold Story of the Iran Nuclear Scare. Plus: gay-rights protests target the NCAA Final Four in Indianapolis – we talk to Dave Zirin; and a discussion about whether the kind of thinking that science demands of us turns us into more moral creatures.
