Episode Synopsis
Since we began reporting this story, we've been after a list. A secret list. On it are the names of 2,746 people whom the US government deemed excludable, including the men on the roof.

And the story of what we learned when we finally got our hands on it. Want to hear the next episode of White Lies a week before everyone else?
