In this episode, we chat with a former CIA analyst about Egypt.... its relationship with the U.S.... what it was like to monitor fast-moving events of the Arab Spring for the CIA.... whether the $1.3 B in annual military assistance the U.S. sends to Egypt is disproportionate.... U.S. contributions to Egyptian health & hygiene... the CIA as a bureaucracy.... and more.
------> OUR GUEST is Julia Santucci, who spent a decade as a Middle East analyst at the CIA from 2005 until 2015. She also served on the staff of the White House's National Security Council (NSC) for 2 years as an Egypt specialist before joining the State Dept. to work on global women's issues.
