Tonight on Political Analysis, in the wake of yesterday's twin bombings at the Boston Marathon, Sandy LeonVest is joined by teacher, activist and author Chris Williams to connect the dots between the US security state, the exploitation of fear, resource depletion, war and a permanent wartime economy.
