Spycraft isn't usually what you see in the movies or read about
in adventure books. It's gritty, it's ugly, and in modern times
often requires just as much history & technology expertise as
marksmanship. Intelligence operators are some of the most
highly-skilled, dangerous people on the planet. So, when their
skills are misused by the political elite against US citizens
solely for the gain of political capital, the consequences can
ruin careers, lives, and fragile peace. Charles "Sam" Faddis is a
former CIA operative who led the first incursion into Iraq in the
run-up to the 2003 invasion of that country, and headed the WMD
unit of the agency's Counter-Terrorism Center. He also served as
an officer of the US Army's Judge Advocate General Corps, so he
cares a great deal about preserving justice in a world where due
process seems to have given way to backroom dealings within
agencies that have no Constitutional mandate, and should by all
rights be neutral, owing allegiance to the nation itself, not to
any one member of the US government. Faddis chats with Victoria
on this episode about his thoughts on members of government using
American investigatory & intelligence agencies as a political
cudgel, and what can be done to heal the rot that continues to
grow within these extraconstitutional bureaus.
