Patinkin won a 1995 Emmy Award (as well as a Golden Globe nomination) for his performance in the CBS series Chicago Hope. Patinkin currently stars in the Emmy and Golden Globe(R) Award-winning SHOWTIME series HOMELAND as the CIA's European Division Chief "Saul Berenson," for which he has been nominated for Golden Globe and Emmy Awards. Mandy Patinkin is the narrator for THE SPYMASTERS. THE SPYMASTERS also reveals a sharp division among the directors over the ethics of so-called "enhanced interrogation techniques," a form of questioning suspected terrorists that President Obama has labeled "torture." Current CIA director John Brennan acknowledges for the first time that he would refuse to waterboard a detainee even if ordered by the President. The president, he says "is killing more people than he needs to and we'd be better off capturing some of them and interrogating them." Former Director James Woolsey says the Obama administration is depriving itself of valuable intelligence. Gates also takes issue with a form of attacks known as "signature strikes," the practice of targeting unnamed terrorist suspects. Former directors William Webster and Robert Gates take issue with the way the agency targeted and killed an American citizen, militant Muslim cleric Anwar al-Awlaki. The directors are also remarkably candid about the agency's controversial lethal drone warfare program - a program so secret that the CIA has never officially acknowledged it.
They urged the White House to go on a "war footing." Tenet and Black say the warnings were ignored. Two months before 9/11, in an emergency meeting at the White House, they warned National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice that the attack could even take place on U.S. Highlights of the documentary include former CIA Director George Tenet and his Director of Counterterrorism Cofer Black detailing unheeded warnings given to the Bush administration of an imminent al-Qaeda attack.
