Investigative Journalist Probes CIA Secrets: NPR, Fresh Air, July 14, 2009: Jane Mayer is interviewed by Dave Davies.

A staff writer for The New Yorker, Mayer wrote about new CIA chief Leon Panetta last month in "The Secret History: Can Leon Panetta move the CIA forward without confronting its past?"

Mayer is also the author of the book The Dark Side: The Inside Story of How the War on Terror Turned Into a War on American Ideals.
