Pretty friendly with the terrorists

Episode 8 I can’t believe how friendly with the terrorist she is. That guy was working with the guy who planned 911 and he’s your buddy now? You can’t believe how we treated him? I can’t believe he’s chilling by the beach somewhere.

Without the New York Times and the like who else would give terrorist propaganda a voice
