As a correspondent for NPR, David Welna has covered everything from the U.S. Congress, to struggling Midwestern farmers, to the CIA’s torture program. He currently serves as NPR’s national security correspondent. Welna joins us to discuss his three-decade career in public radio, including what he saw on his recent visit to the Guantanamo Bay prison.
