48. CIA, Afghanistan, and The Rest Is Classified
About this episode
In 2021, US troops withdrew from Afghanistan, ending a conflict that had been brutally fought for almost 20 years. While the news dominated the headlines, fewer may have heard the story of when the CIA first entered Afghanistan in the aftermath of 9/11. Today Katty and Anthony are joined by former CIA analyst and host of Goalhanger’s latest podcast, The Rest Is Classified, David McCloskey, to discuss this fascinating story.
