Mel Goodman, national security and intelligence columnist for Truthout.org, joined WJBC’s Jim Fitzpatrick on Wednesday to discuss current events on the world stage.

Goodman takes issue with President Barack Obama’s leadership in dealing with domestic and foreign issues.

“He has not demonstrated that he wants to lead, that he knows how to lead – that he has the courage to get out in front,” Goodman said.

Goodman’s latest book is “Failure of Intelligence: The Decline and Fall of the CIA.”
