This week’s panel tackles a diverse array of topics, including:

– The proposed pullout of US troops from Afghanistan at the end of 2014 – is this really going to happen, and if so, what will be the result?
– Facebook COO has recruited Beyonce, Jane Lynch and other celebrities to join her campaign to promote girls’ leadership capabilities and discourage use of the word “bossy.” Will the campaign work? And should it?
– Minnesota state representative Pat Garofalo received widespread criticism for a tweet suggesting that without the NBA, basketball players would turn to crime. The tweet was undoubtedly stupid, but was it racist?
– The SIgma Alpha Epsilon fraternity has banned hazing and pledging at its chapters nationwide. Is this about trying to effect positive change or merely to cover their asses from potential lawsuits?

All this and another patented #NoFilter rant from host Ana Kasparian about the hypocritical responses to CIA spying from US Senators Dianne Feinstein and Lindsey Graham on this week’s episode of The Point with Ana Kasparian.
