Recent events have shown just how far his rule has shattered the nation. Today Alastair and Rory are joined by former CIA Syria Analyst David McCloskey and host of Goalhanger’s latest podcast, The Rest Is Classified to discuss them, along with his new episode on the first CIA teams in Afghanistan after 9/11.
