Retired intelligence analyst Ray McGovern joins us for a discussion about the war in Ukraine.

Ray McGovern, formerly an Army intelligence and infantry officer, went on to serve at the CIA for 27 years. During this time his duties included chairing the National Intelligence Estimates and preparing the President’s Daily Brief which he briefed to President Reagan’s most senior national security advisors. In 2003, Ray co-created Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity (VIPS) to expose how intelligence was being falsified to “justify” war on Iraq. At his retirement, the CIA awarded Ray McGovern with the Intelligence Commendation Medallion for “especially meritorious service.” In 2006, Ray returned the medal explaining “I do not want to be associated, however remotely, with an agency engaged in torture.” Ray is fluent in Russian, along with English, German, and Spanish.
