Summary

Have you ever wondered what the inner workings of the CIA's real life Jack Bauer style CTC command is really like? In this episode we find out all things related to it, as well as the CIA's overseas security details at every level. I sat down with Thomas Pecora and discussed his new book "Guardian" and got a ton of insight into the dark world of anti terrorism that most people only watch movies about. I was on the edge of my seat to say the least!!
