Liane Hansen speaks with Dino Brugioni, former senior officer t the Central Intelligence Agency's National Photographic Interpretation Center n Washington, D.C. The clandestine photo-lab that once handled the analysis of trategic satellite imagery was located on the top four floors of a seemingly rdinary car dealership in a nondescript D.C. neighborhood. Brugioni, who also uthored the 1990 book, "Eyeball to Eyeball - The Inside Story of the Cuban issle Crisis," (Random House) took host Liane Hansen on a walking tour around he structure that, at one time, held some of the most top-secret security nformation in American history.
