We were sitting on a ticking bomb. As former fbi agent and chairman of the house intelligence committee, i had oversight of all 16 of our nations intelligence agencies. My name is mike rogers. I had access to classified information gathered by our operatives. People who risked everything for the United States and our families. You dont know their faces or their names. You dont know the real stories from the people who lived the fear and the pressure. Until now. In 1928 in response to the israeli invasion of lebanon, special militia groups formed together with the support of iran to establish a legitimate Political Party called the party of god, hezbollah.
