On our final episode of 2020, Lou and John welcome Tom Pecora. Tom retired from the CIA as a GS 15 where he had worked in protective operations, counterterrorism, and security training, most of it operating in low intensity conflict areas. Chief of Security in Southeast Asia, South Asia, and the Middle East, Tom was responsible for countrywide security programs ensuring the safety and security of all CIA personnel in high threat environments. The guys discuss Tom's book, “GUARDIAN – Life in the Crosshairs of the CIA’s War on Terror” – and go into detail about Tom's 24 years in the CIA working in some of the worst terrorist hotbeds in the world.
