Someone they knew. Thats the only reason im out here. I really just want to see who it is, if i can. Reporter the laundry room is located in the basement of the complex and is accessed from an outside doorway. Police took pictures of vehicles parked in view of that laundry room and went door to door talking with neighbors, asking if they saw anything or anyone suspicious. Our detectives were on scene working to establish a suspect and motive at this time. Reporter for people who live in this community, there are questions. What happened to this woman, who did it, and why. Scary because youre just sleeping and you dont hear nothing. It is a dangerous neighborhood, but that in the laundry it shouldnt even be open at that time. Reporter the people who believe they know the victim told me she did not live in this community, but did have a friend here. Again, Prince Georges County police have not released the name of the victim and again the investigation is very active and still continuing
Its at this point a definitive history of the secret organization and its so thick i want to start with this one because if you are a normal reader you might think that its easier to get information and get you say i want to quote you here because it is pretty succinct that i began the project that research and writing a book that the secret organization that controlled other secret organizations was going to be a challenge and so it proved several people who figure prominently in the events described in this book to requests to be interviewed. So how hard is it or how hard was it and how long did it take . Guest it took three years of research and writing. Thats not counting my two decades plus as a reporter on the Security Issues prior to that in the previous books and just by osmosis its also not counting the time spent in the editing process after the three years were up. It was very difficult but obviously not impossible to find the people and the other published words or unpublis
And then it obviously to the pentagon and white house a very short order. It really works for the secretary of defense and the president. And the difference between what j sock does compared to what the cias special activities or paramilitary division does, what is the real difference . Guest there is certainly an overlap between those two organizations now, and you will often find the members of each organization on the same battlefield, as battlefield, as it were, or in the same embassy doing the same work. The obvious difference is the joint special Operations Command leader who has a lot more, a lot more firepower. The special Activities Division you would expect to be working and battlefields in which the United States is not at work with, perhaps, slightly shadier characters in the military. And the different authority, different Legal Authority in the military, but there is not increasingly, especially in the last few years, joint special Operations Command, special Mission Unit
So how hard was it to do this book, how long did it take . Guest it took three years of fulltime research and writing, obviously thats not counting my two decades plus as a reporter on military and National Security issues prior to that, you know, gaining a lot of that information of previous articles, previous books and its also not counting the time spent in the editing process after those three years were up. It was very difficult but, you know, obviously not impossible to find the people and, you know, in some cases the other publish works or unpublished works that could power the story of this organization from its roots in 1980 all the way to the fight of Islamic State. Joint special Operations Command is the command United States military secret special Operations Missions. It was formed in 1980 as a result of the failure of operation eagle claw which was the at the same time to rescue the american hostages in iran. The pentagon put together a Blue Chip Board of half a dozen ret
Its really the not going to sleep call. It wasnt too bad out there, thank god. Thank you for coming. Thank you to heritage and a special thank you to my friend calling for providing some advice over the last couple years and a number of different aspects of my life. Think you are having me and constantly being available even though i probably annoy you. Thank you very much. I appreciate. I want to talk to about 50 or 20 minutes i want to start with my job with and white tv in the Police Department and how it changed my internal compass. I was a strange occurrence i had with a young man. Then i would like to delve into a bit of some of the secret Service Years in some of the people and met with and how i just found it to be an incredible experience and i want to leave it with my sense i guess we could call in frustration, the reason i left and this kind of battle of friction i had between my experiences with really good people and what i saw as an institutional problem with the governme
