On this episode of Breaking the Set, Abby Martin talks to columnist and Middle East affairs analyst, Hafed al Ghwell, about post revolution Libya, the increasing violence that experts say could sink the country into chaos, and the underlining struggles that prevent progress in the country. Abby then goes over a timeline of events that resulted in Julian Assange spending one year holed inside the Ecuadorean embassy in London, and the international pressures that transformed the little-known online whistleblower into public enemy number one. Abby then talks to political commentator, Sam Sacks, about the Obama administration's decision to arm Syria's rebel fighters, distinguishing between the opposition groups that together are referred to as "the rebels". BTS wraps up the show highlighting the late Michael Hastings as the day's hero, citing his work as an honest journalist who pulled no punches, and remembers his courageous storytelling.
