It was 60 years ago that the National Security Act was passed. On the next Your Call we talk with former analysts at the CIA and outsider experts on the intelligence community about what we have learned from those 60 years living with the CIA and NSA. What do they do well? And where do they regularly fail? Do overestimations of the CIA’s capabilities lead to wild overreach and civil liberties violations? What should intelligence agencies actually do? It’s Your Call with Sandip Roy and you.
Guests:
Sue McCloud, former CIA operations officer
Mel Goodman, former CIA analyst
John Prados, National Security Archive, and author of Hoodwinked: The Documents That Reveal How Bush Sold Us a War
