    I just listened to this episode. This was an incredible story. Eugene Casey is so low key. The photo of him with the older Carlos really tells the story. Carlos looks charismatic even in a photo! Not like a crime boss\terrorist\murderer. His image is very important to him. Eugene Casey just disarms him! He is so good at his job that he actually out does the gangster. Thank you!
