The Insights Podcast

The Taliban's "state capture" of Afghanistan with Natalie Gonnella-Platts of the George W. Bush Institute

Join Lynne O’Donnell for the 8AM Media podcast series, Insights. Lynne talks with generals, diplomats, soldiers, journalists, politicians, activists, people who have front row seats for conflicts around the world, and citizens with a story to tell, happy or sad.

For this first series, Afghanistan is the focus. Lynne and her guests talk about the collapse of the republic in August, 2021, and the impact since — for the people of Afghanistan, for the security of the region, for the safety of the world. It’s important, interesting and insightful.

Lynne talks to Natalie Gonnella-Platts, Director of Global Policy for the George W. Bush Institute. She talks about the institute’s ground-breaking three-part series of research reports called “Captured State,” examining the impact of the Taliban’s return to power in Afghanistan. The reports make some cogent recommendations for how the terrorist-led group should be held to account for its excesses and abuses.
