Resumen del Editor
When the towers fell on September 11, 2001, nowhere were the reverberations more powerfully felt than at CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia. Almost overnight, the intelligence organization evolved into a warfighting intelligence service, constructing what was known internally as "the Program": a web of top-secret detention facilities intended to help prevent future attacks on American soil and around the world. With Black Site, former deputy director of the CIA Counterterrorist Center Philip Mudd presents a full, never-before-told story of this now-controversial program, directly addressing how far America went to pursue al-Qa'ida and prevent another catastrophe.
Heated debates about torture were later ignited in 2014 after the US Senate published a report of the Program, detailing the CIA's use of "enhanced interrogation techniques" to draw information from detainees. The report, Mudd posits, did not fully address key questions: How did the officials actually come to their decisions? What happened at the detention facilities - known as "Black Sites" - on a day-to-day basis? What did they look like? How were prisoners transported there? And how did the officers feel about what they were doing?
Black Site seeks answers to these questions and more.

Good Hunting: An American Spymaster's Story is the spellbinding memoir of Devine's time in the CIA, where he served for more than 30 years, rising to become the acting deputy director of operations, responsible for all of the agency's spying operations. This is a story of intrigue and high-stakes maneuvering - all the more gripping when the fate of our geopolitical order hangs in the balance. But this audiobook also sounds a warning to our nation's decision makers.

In 2011, an elite group of US Navy SEALS stormed an enclosure in the Pakistani city of Abbottabad and killed Osama bin Laden, the man the United States had begun chasing before the devastating attacks of 9/11. The news did much to boost President Obama’s first term and played a major part in his reelection victory of the following year. But much of the story of that night, as presented to the world, was incomplete, or a lie. The evidence of what actually went on remains hidden.

Ever since 9/11 America has fought an endless war on terror, seeking enemies everywhere and never promising peace. In Pay Any Price, James Risen reveals an extraordinary litany of the hidden costs of that war: from squandered and stolen dollars, to outrageous abuses of power, to wars on normalcy, decency, and truth. In the name of fighting terrorism, our government has done things every bit as shameful as its historic wartime abuses - and until this audiobook, it has worked very hard to cover them up.

This is an ambitious, meticulous examination of how U.S. foreign policy since the 1960s has led to partial or total cover-ups of past domestic criminal acts, including, perhaps, the catastrophe of 9/11. Peter Dale Scott, whose previous books have investigated CIA involvement in southeast Asia, the drug wars, and the Kennedy assassination, here probes how the policies of presidents since Nixon have augmented the tangled bases for the 2001 terrorist attack.

The Ghosts of Langley is a provocative and panoramic new history of the Central Intelligence Agency that relates the agency's current predicament to its founding and earlier years, telling the story of the agency through the eyes of key figures in CIA history, including some of its most troubling covert actions around the world. It reveals how the agency, over seven decades, has resisted government accountability, going rogue in a series of highly questionable ventures that reach their apotheosis with secret overseas prisons and torture programs.

Widely heralded on publication as a “must-read” (Military Review) and “important window on America’s battle with al-Qaeda” (Washington Post), Ali Soufan’s revelatory account of the war on terror as seen from its front lines changed the way we understand al-Qaeda and how the United States prosecuted the war — and led to hard questions being asked of our leaders.

This classic of spycraft is based on Allen Dulles's incomparable experience as a diplomat, international lawyer, and America's premier intelligence officer. Dulles was a high-ranking officer of the CIA's predecessor - the Office of Strategic Services - and was present at the inception of the CIA, where he served eight of his 10 years there as director. Here he sums up what he learned about intelligence from nearly a half-century of experience in foreign affairs.

The Ghosts of Langley is a provocative and panoramic new history of the Central Intelligence Agency that relates the agency's current predicament to its founding and earlier years, telling the story of the agency through the eyes of key figures in CIA history, including some of its most troubling covert actions around the world. It reveals how the agency, over seven decades, has resisted government accountability, going rogue in a series of highly questionable ventures that reach their apotheosis with secret overseas prisons and torture programs.

Kandahar. The ancient desert crossroads and, as of fall of 2001, ground zero for the Taliban and al-Qa'ida in southern Afghanistan. In the northern part of the country, the US-supported Northern Alliance has made progress on the battlefield, but in the south, the country is still under the Taliban's bloody hold and al-Qa'ida continues to operate there. With no "Southern Alliance" for the US to support, a new strategy is needed if victory is to be achieved. Veteran CIA officer Duane Evans is dispatched to Pakistan to "get something going in the South." Foxtrot in Kandahar is his story.

For decades, Fred Burton was a key figure in international counterterrorism and domestic spy craft. As a member of the State Department's Diplomatic Security Service in the mid 1980s, he was on the front lines of America's first campaign against terror. Now, in this hard-hitting memoir, Burton emerges from the shadows to reveal who he is, what he has accomplished, and the threats that lurk unseen except by an experienced, world-wise few. Told in a no-holds-barred, gripping, nuanced style, this behind-the scenes account of one counterterrorism agent's life and career is a riveting listen.

US Special Operations Command trains and equips units to undertake select military activities, frequently high-risk missions, often for the purposes of counterterrorism and counterinsurgency. Since 9/11, impelled by an attack on US soil, these forces have been a central instrument of America's military campaign - operating in about 100 countries on any given day. This fight - neither hot war nor cold peace - was launched and executed as a new type of global war in 2001 and has since splintered into a spectrum of regional conflicts.

This is the riveting first-person account of the treacherous top-secret mission inside Afghanistan to set the stage for the defeat of the Taliban and launch the war on terror. As thrilling as any novel, First In is a uniquely intimate look at a mission that began the US retaliation against terrorism - and reclaimed the country of Afghanistan for its people.

The best public accounting for this program that I have come across .
There but for the grace of God go I. The author and the narrator recount the days and mood leading up to the attacks of 9/11. As the program evolved, the author lays out in appropriate detail the many issues the Agency faced and ultimately is left holding the bag for. In the end, the one vivid siren for this entire story is there are people that defend our country, and there are those who enter other parts of our government without sufficient exposure to the cultures and people that live to destroy our country. The debates surrounding this program and the misrepresentation about its utility highlight a much larger divide between those citizens who are protected and those few who are protecting them. I am greatful for the latter as we move into future conflicts.

A very well articulated Compare, Contrast, Reflect
Right, Wrong or Indifferent... this book provides background that as Paul Harvey used to say, Is the rest of the story". Having deployed in support of OEF and OIF... I wanted intelligence that would protect our people. Sometimes I felt let down... but not through folks lack of trying. Intelligence and IPB... is tough. What this book showed me was simply that folks were trying to get Intel and IPB was ongoing... but policy and the way the US conducts business is.... complicated.

Spook justifies CIA torture methods/blacksites
This book is essentially an apology for CIA-run blacksites, using legalese BS to justify the rendition and torture of foreign nationals under the guise of “national security” and post-9/11 hysteria

Important book for historians
Phillip Mudd set out as his objective to memorialize what led to the CIA black sites. He does an excellent job of describing the immediate post-9/11 atmosphere. In addition, he records from interviews with insiders the decision making process that led to the enhanced interrogation methods. Future leaders and historians must consult this important reference. There are elements where outside observers can disagree with the judgments made by CIA leadership but Mudd should be thanked for making this historical record.

A lot of insight and context
When I first learnt about black sites, its through scary and over-exaggerated graphic dicpition from movies. I simply thought: CIA, TOURTURE. BAD. After reading the book, I learnt about the complexity behind it: Mental state of the country after 911; Urgency of the CIA to scramble resources and get fast result on cracking down terrorist organisation which is well-funded, well organised and well-led. The meticulous design of the interrogation and the precise calibration in a case by case nature makes it more like a surgical extraction of life-saving intel rather than trying to inflict pain on the enemy to exact vengence.
Pain and immense discomfort was present. But letting the terrirists who are funding and organising upcoming attack to talk to their lawyers and plead the fifth will only lead to more innocent death. The line is very carefully drawn behind a lot of scrutiny by the executive and judical body and it is not crossed. I just wish there were some form of emergency voting in congress to let the people pledge their will and do not flinch when they are told the ugly details of what needs to be done to save the country and its people from fear and death.
p.s. English is not my first language and I am never a good writer, so pardon my convuluted sentences and grammatical mistakes.

CIA DETAILS
this book seemed to drag and was difficult for me to get through it. I can't recommend this as entertainment or something informative. There is a lot of name dropping and attempts to explain what was going on during this time period. But it just wasn't that interesting.

This book is interesting, but it’s quit dry. If I’ve bought this in a Kindle or a book version I doubt I would have managed reading it cover to cover.
