Mel Goodman, CIA Operations in Benghazi and Regime Change
Former CIA analyst Mel Goodman appears on Democracy Now! to discuss the strategic failures of the U.S. intervention in Libya. Goodman argues that the CIA was in Benghazi to buy back weapons previously provided to Muammar Gaddafi and that the mission was always centered on regime change. He suggests that U.S. actions in Libya directly influenced Vladimir Putin's current military strategy in Syria.
