YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

As the United States continues its military assault against terrorist groups in the Middle East and relies more and more on drone strikes, the power of the Central Intelligence Agency in foreign policy decision making has never been greater. Gwen Ifill gets the backstory from Yochi Dreazen, Managing Editor of Foreign Policy magazine and author of the report "Mission Unstoppable." As Dreazen describes, the CIA has evolved into an organization that "tracks and kills people around the globe." But who in the U.S. intelligence structure has the ear of the president? And what happens when the CIA is wrong?
