Daniel Levin is an attorney, political commentator, and author of Nothing but a Circus: Misadventures Among the Powerful and Proof of Life: Twenty Days on the Hunt for a Missing Person in the Middle East.

What We Discuss with Daniel Levin:

How the Syrian regime kidnaps westerners and blames the opposition, keeping them in captivity -- often for years -- as bargaining chips.
How Daniel became the go-to person for hunting down a missing person in Syria when no government, embassy, or intelligence agency would help.
What proof of life means in a kidnapping scenario, and how someone in search of a missing person goes about finding this.
