I spoke with the #LeavingHotelCalifornia filmmakers about what it was like working undercover Inside the Real #NCIS, buying elephant tusks and cheetah skins in Kenya, in anti-poaching and narcotic suppression operations.

While two copies of #UnjustifiableMeans were returned to sender — banned from the #Guantanamo prison library. Even with 113 redactions, some more than a page - #censorship. Stay tuned for the release of #LeavingHotelCalifornia to learn more about why I only have one copy left. #TruthMatters
