Description:
Former Director of the National Counterterrorism Center Joe Kent joins former CIA analyst Larry Johnson for an insider’s examination of how intelligence is collected, filtered and politicized before it reaches the White House.
Drawing on experience in special operations, the CIA and the NCTC, Kent explores the suppression of dissenting assessments, Washington’s dependence on foreign liaison services and why a system awash in classified data can still profoundly misread Iran, Russia and the wars it helps shape.
