He was the deputy counsel or acting general counsel of the CIA for the first nine years of the War on Terror, during which the CIA held dozens of detainees in black site prisons around the globe.

Rizzo signed off on all CIA-directed drone strikes from September 2001 until October 2009.

He was a visiting fellow at the Hoover Institution and Senior Counsel at the Steptoe & Johnson law firm. Provided by Wikipedia
