Topic: Porter Goss

Aimen Dean, a former MI6 spy who infiltrated Al Qaeda, was reportedly outed in 2006 after details of his identity were leaked to a journalist. The hosts speculate that the leak originated from the CIA, specifically pointing to the short-lived tenure of Director Porter Goss. The segment questions why no one was prosecuted for outing a high-level intelligence asset who had prevented chemical attacks on the New York subway.

Author Vince Flynn notes that the Bin Laden raid closely mirrors the opening chapters of his novel "Memorial Day." Flynn claims that former CIA Director Porter Goss and General Stanley McChrystal had read the book and were inspired by its depiction of a cross-border raid into Pakistan. The hosts suggest the military uses fiction as a "free consulting" playbook.
