HOW FAR SHOULD THE CIA GO TO PROTECT AMERICA?
 "48 HOURS PRESENTS" The Broadcast Network Premiere of
"THE SPYMASTERS - CIA IN THE CROSSHAIRS" Saturday, May 21 (9:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT)
What are the rules in the war on terror for America's spymasters?
Will the next president bring back waterboarding as an "enhanced interrogation technique?"
CIA through the eyes of all 12 living directors of the agency.
The directors talk openly about tough calls they've had to make, the controversies they have faced and what it takes to be a master spy. "I found that I was making decisions on life and death as a director," former CIA Director Leon Panetta says,  "And those decisions are never easy, and, frankly, shouldn't be easy." In emotional, no-holds, barred interviews, the directors and their top operatives open up about the role of the agency, the impact being inside has had on their lives, their failures and successes, and their own internal battles and heart-wrenching moments over what's right and wrong in protecting America's citizens.

The documentary raises key questions such as how far should America go to prevent another terrorist attack? What is fair game in an unfair fight? And has the agency focused too much on lethal paramilitary action at the expense of gathering intelligence. "The Spymasters" also gets inside the events leading up to the 9/11 terrorist attacks and the hunt for Osama bin Laden. "I don't think you can go through that kind of experience, of having to make life and death decisions.
Having to every day, read intelligence about all of the evil that's out there in the world and those who want to strike at us, and not have it affect you," Panetta says. The directors also look to the future and what the CIA, and the country, face in terms of fighting terrorism. "You can't kill your way out of this," says George Tenet. "That's a mistake. It's much more complicated."

Well, if you'd watched the 48 Hours special - you'd have a great appreciation for why the NSA was founded and the 'good-ole'-boy' mentality between the CIA vs FBI and their ego's let a lot of info fall between the cracks that should have been shoved under GWB's nose.
Hell, even POTUS Bill Clinton had been dealing with the Al Qaida threat in Africa and the spies were busy telling his Security Council that is was a wide spread pervasive terrorist group & growing rapidly!

Ask sometime about the C-124s running in and out of the airport in Mena, Arkansas. going to Ilopango AFB, in Ilopango El Salvador, carrying munitions from Wright-Patterson AFB in Ohio destined for Nicarauga, and returning with mj and cocaine destined for the inner-cities of America.

And maybe someone thought Putin was bad because he directed the KGB.
