George Clooney's wife explains why she's going after the terrorist organization.
Amal Clooney is going after the leaders of ISIS.
George Clooney's wife, a 38-year-old civil rights lawyer, sat down with NBC Nightly News' Cynthia McFadden to talk about her efforts to put ISIS leaders on trial for war crimes.
In a preview of the Sept. 19 interview, McFadden argues that many think the terrorist organization should be "bombed out of existence," Amal responds, "You don't kill an idea that way. You can kill individuals, and that in itself can be used a propaganda for further recruitment."
She adds, "ISIS can just be reformed under a different name. You need to change the narrative to change people's minds. They are brainwashing people, and I think one of the ways to take action against that is to expose their brutality and their corruption."
