The CIA And The Future Of Drones

In a New York Times article, writer Mark Mazzetti notes that there may be a shift away from drones as new CIA Director John Brennan has expressed interest in moving the CIA back to a more traditional role of intelligence gathering. Mazzetti joins us to talk about the future of drones.
