and al qaeda -- i think it is no coincidence that ayman of zawahiri and osama bin laden -- i think given their statements, their most nervous about the president's speech because he was trying to bring people over to the american side, to the west cost side, and to make sure these people are isolated would make clear that there is no justification for the slaughter of innocents. he said if you shoot rockets at women and children, you do not claim moral authority, you abdicate it. so i think he was very consistent there. host: one moment from the speech yesterday that lasted just under one hour, 6000 words, including these brief words in arabic. >> i am grateful for your hospitality and hospitality of the people of egypt, and i carry the goodwill of the american people in the greeting of peace from the muslim people of my country. [speaking arabic] host: good morning, tom. caller: good morning to you, thank you for taking my call and thank you very much for c-span. it is easily the most insightful picture into the american political scene, and thoroughly enjoyable. and i believe that bara

. >> shortly after the administration announced this-- >> ayman golding because i haven't been out for a while. >> shortly after the administration announced its new kennison strategy with bruce riedel's white paper k, undersecretary for policy michele flournoy and others promised benchmarks, metra said success. why haven't those cannot yacks? are they waiting for general mcchrystal to craft them? bead i can tell you this. when he and general rodriguez, should the senate confirmed the two of them, go over to afghanistan to undertake the 60 day review of the situation on the ground there, to try to get their feet on the ground, get a ground eye view of what is going on and report back with they believe to be the situation, what they think should the changes in the strategy-- what changes in the strategy should be made and particularly from a personnel standpoint, from a manpower standpoint trying to determine the needs and what can be done to try to consolidate and get the most we can from of resources we have on the ground. the president has authorized as you know, 68,000 personnel. i

ayman obviously as we saw in world war ii with the remarkable leadership the country had a you would want your best and brightest people as well leading the military outfits and make sure you are represented everywhere. it was so divisive and also as you will see when you read the book the generation gap was so big and the draft was such a target that it became -- it was easy to take and then he got thrown off the campus of dartmouth, all the others. and all of the people who had become -- this is a sort of generalization that discreetly true. all of the people who are teaching in the universities now and for the last 20 years are the people who stayed in school to get graduate degrees so they wouldn't have to go to the war so there's automatically preselected towards, you know, what their politics would be. so there is no hard for anyone to bring back, to bring back rothsy. it's too bad but that is where the idea is. that's a good question. >> one more question. >> [inaudible] >> colin we will give you a microphone. >> i am looking at the overall perspective of what happened for ten

the top levels of al qaeda it was written by a top al qaeda commander it actually has introduction by ayman al zawahiri that's osama bin laden's number two guy. dave: paranoia and stress you bring up. what about about desperation? that is so mainstream. doesn't it show they are getting desperate? >> i think it does, dave. frod tore drone attacks are the single tool in destructive operations in northern pakistan. the book mentions it. it's been translated by memory. the book refers to the leveling of homes by planes that are unheard, unseen, and unknown. it also says spies have spread throughout the land like locusts it definitely shows she's drone attacks are working. gretchen: how effective can this web book be? i'm sort of wondering personally this morning why they would even put it down in print. >> that's interesting, gretchen. if you are a regular taliban member sitting in waziristan you don't have the internet but your leaders might. the book specifically tries to find leniency around sure real law, muslim law to deal with the spies. if it leads to decrep bid old money and women being

one of the significant things about the book is the introduction that wasn't written by ayman al-zawahri. in the introduction, he is paranoid that there are spies among them, providing intelligence to the u.s., or pakistan, and this is allowing us to successfully decimate their leadership. bill: what is contained in there that would tell us to the spies are, and how they are operating? >> it is clear they believe they are among their own people. there is one section in the manual that provides some photographs, working theories, of how the u.s. and pakistan are able to target these camps. there is a theory of infrared homing devices. they are being planted in safe houses, and that is what allows a predator drone to identify the target and strike the target. whatever the truth, is an example of how paranoid they have become because the campaign of tracking against them has become so successful. this has become a controversial campaign, however, for a number of reasons. the current administration has decided to continue this campaign in tribal areas. the intelligence community is not comme

. >> i'm for one, shocked, that the cia had a secret plan to kill osama bin laden and ayman al zawahiri. the idea they are going to make political hay out of this is not very smart for them. now is a time republicans have been punished on the national security issue because of the iraq war and mistakes made. democrats have had a chance to take this back with all the infighting with cia and making political hay out of it, i don't think they are whiffing on this entirely. i don't think it's benefitting them. bill: "newsweek" magazine obviously wanted an investigation and they are pushing holder to do it. >> i think you are confusing two things. i think one thing is the secret plan that they didn't tell the congress about and, of course, congress reflects us, and we should know what's going on. bill: even if it's not operational? even if it's just somebody's piece of paper. >> that's the law. bill: no, it's not the law. if the plan is operational, they have to inform coming. if it's just some guy made this up, they don't. >> no, this f. they are planning -- well, my understanding if it get

ayman al zawahiri released a new audio message this morning and asking pakistanis to support islamic militants because of what he called blatant american meddling in pakistan. suspected u.s. missiles recently targeted leaders there just as pakistan's military is conducting a major anti-taliban offensive. >>> investigators looking into michael jackson's death are pouring over new medical records. yesterday, l.a.'s assistant chief coroner went to the office of jackson's dermatologist. just last week on our sister network cnn the doctor said he never gave jackson any dangerous drugs. >> we're still conducting our investigation. there is a security hold on the case and i can't comment any further. >> are these paper documents or are you looking at medication as well? >> we're looking for some documentation that dr. klein has agreed to provide to us. >> medical records of michael jackson? >> can you say something about the toxicology results? >> no. we hope to have the findings probably in the middle of this next week. >> the california attorney general's office and the d.e.a. are helping

ayman al-zawahri posted a new audio message on the internet, warning against american interference. he said: the pakistani military began a major offensive against al qaeda and the taliban last april with u.s. support. and still to come on the newshour tonight: the mounting casualties in afghanistan; and a double suicide by a british couple. that follows our health care debate. newshour correspondent betty ann bowser begins with a report for our health unit, a partnership with the robert wood johnson foundation. >> reporter: with a 13-10 vote along party lines, the senate health committee today became the first of five congressional committees to approve a massive over haul of american health care. connecticut senator chris dodd, who stood in for ailing committee chairman senator edward kennedy, spoke to reporters. >> this bill, because of wawe have done, we think is going to increase access, it's going to reduce costs to individuals, and it's going to improve the quality of health care in our country. we'll have to make investments to achieve those results. >> reporter: the $600 bi

. >> is it this group, do they directly coordinate with al qaeda in the sense that bin laden or ayman al zawahiri, on the loose right now, they plot, talk or it's just an inspiration? >> if you go to the bali attack of 2002 which 200 people died in, at that time there was a direct tie. there was also somebody who had been a close friend of bin laden who is in u.s. custody. now the links are much more inspirational rather than operational. >> the fact that they were two american hotels attacked, al qaeda has always said to itself if you destroy america's economic prowess, you destroy america. the world trade center, for example, in new york was hit not once but twice as all of our viewers will remember. this is part of that same mentality, right? >> yeah, and i think also hotels are in the hospitality business, they can't turn themselves into fortress fortresses. it's a brand name, you're going to kill westerners. we've seen these kind of hotel attacks, the hilton in egypt, best western in imman, jordan, and jakarta on several occasions. so unfortunately, if you're in a muslim country

one of the several dozens and dozens of people locked up, doctor ayman al-zawahiri. when you see repeatedly these from al qaeda, video broadcast from al qaeda that keep showing up repeatedly with either bin laden, he is the number two man in al qaeda. a little guy with a beard, spectacles. is from an incredibly wealthy egyptian family. there is a street in cairo named after his family. one of his grandfathers was an ambassador to saudi arabia, the other one was president of the university, the oldest university in the arab world. he is a surgeon by training. he was ahead of what was called the egyptian islamic jihad. you see the picture of him talking? every night they would have a press conference because he spoke english he became the spokesman for the murders of sadat, if you will. he became a hero in egypt. he then adopted this guy, ali mohamed. when all he bomber got thrown out of the egyptian military, ali mahmood becomes this guy comes in out of the warranty comes in looking for a guy who'll be a sky for the emerging radical movement and he adopts ali and he s

ayman you should have been a witness in front of the commission and he has me in a windowless conference room, the recording equipment and die so mistrusted him that i sent all of the others and it ended up in the national archives but they reduced everything i said about the plot starting in the middle of 94 to this footnote and do you know who they cited as the authority for when the plot started two years later? khalid sheikh mohammed. that is like acting-- asking david berkowitz when he did the first son of sam murder. robert wyndham of nbc news just recently did a study. more than one-quarter of all footnotes in the 9/11 report workforce dia interrogations of al qaeda operatives injected to know controversial interrogation techniques. one out of every four footnotes in the report, that is who they are siding is authorities. this is the piece that broke the story on the. >> .com. this is my peas for playboy that you can get on line or go on my web site and download it if you don't want to look at the pictures. the chilling effect. that is what patrick fitzgerald attempted to do and t

yes, osama bin laden is saudi, ayman al-zawahiri is egyptian and al qaeda is essentially an egyptian organization. so this is a very important country has tremendous opportunity but also can be very scary. >> rose: deep roots in everything arab. >> yes. absolutely. they really do. i mean, even the opposition groups and so forth we've seep spring up in egypt inspire copycats where in the arab world. used t be the egyptian government under nasser that led. now it's not so much the egyptian government but still the egyptian people and the things that they do, the new egyptian media and so forth inspire imitation elsewhere in the arab world. >> rose: >> the way in which the united states has cultural hodge gemini in the world, egypt has it in the region. if you're in morocco and you're speaking egyptian arabic, they say so you're speaking must bey arabic. that's why it's important. i was in kuwait on iraq's first elections in wife the, kuwaitis said "this is great for iraq but if it happened in egypt, it would shake the region." >> rose: fee venn cook, thank you. >> thank you. >> rose: i

, i spoke with you extensively about the need for closure, and we agreed, relative to bin laden and ayman al zawahiri and as a matter of fact, it's well documented, i've written and spoken about it extensively, things that you said during the course of the campaign played a critical role in my personal decision making to the election, and i felt i would be derelict in my duty if i couldn't come here and say, where are we? i know we recently had a recent victory with the number one taliban man, but pertaining to bin laden and ayman al zawahiri, where are? >> well, here's where we're at. we're continuing to ramp up the pressure in afghanistan. and we had what appeared to be successful election in afghanistan, despite the taliban's efforts to disrupt it. you've got general mcchrystal over there and more troops who are putting pressure on the eastern and southern portions of afghanistan. on the other hand, you've got the pakistani army for the first time actually fighting in a very aggressive way. and that's how we took out baitullah mehsud, the top taliban leader in pakistan, who was also on

i spoke with you extensively about the need for closure and we agreed, relative to to bin laden and ayman al zawahiri, and as a matter of fact, this is well documented, i've written and spoken about it extensively, things you said in the course of the campaign played a critical role in my personal decision making pertaining to the 2008 election, so i feel i would be derelict in my duty if i didn't come here today and say, where are we? i know we had a major victory recently with the number one individual in the taliban, but pertaining to bin laden and ayman al zawahiri, where is it? >> here's where we're at. we're continuing to ramp up the pressure in afghanistan. and we had a -- what appears to be a successful election in afghanistan, despite the taliban's effort to disrupt it. you've got general mcchrystal now over there and more troops who are putting pressure on the eastern and southern portions of afghanistan. on the other hand, you've got the pakistani army for the first tile actually fighting in a very aggressive way. and that's how we took out baitullah mehsud, the top taliban lea

they talk to experts, there are so many different chromosomal matchups that can define whether this is ayman or a woman. it is a strange, strange case. is this typical? does this happen in the international track and field world? >> no. it doesn't happen a lot at all. in atlanta, i think there were eight competitors found to genetically be male but they were female competitors. but then their bodies also weren't able to work with the testosterone they were given. if anything, they were at a disadvantage, not an advantage. it is not very usual, but usually i think it is handled with a little more discretion, unfortunate that this young woman has to be in front of the world like this. >> 18 years old, and the reportes say so miserable, she had to be coaxed into going to the medal ceremoniy to accept her gold medal. >> this should be the best moment of her life. >> thank you for coming in this morning. >> my pleasure. thanks for having me. >> we'll keep everyone updated on this situation as we get more information. up next, under the radar for the 2 million calorie cupcake. that's a long time o

ayman is a success if he gets up in the morning and goes to bed at night and in between does what he wants to do. but you can't do that if you are working hard to pay for the things you have already bought and the truth of the matter is too many people are simply in too deep and i will give you a perfect example. a few mths ago i was playing golf with a friend happens to be an attorney and we are writijg in the card in he was telling h much he detested his job. he said you have to understd at i do. i read these gnats to letters o behalf of my clients and then we get nasty letters back and then i have to respond to their letter with another nasty letter and this will go on for a few weeks and then when my clients see how much they have run up in billable hours they start to get nasty with me in the whole business is just kind of nasty, so i said well, why don't you do something else? if you could have seen the look on his face he wld have thought i asked him, y don't you stop briefings? he goes you don't understand, we have got too big cars, my wife and i take big trips and she runs u

ayman. when you see these video broadcast from al qaeda that keep showing up, he's the number two man in al qaeda. a little buy with a beard, spectacles. he is from a wealthy egyptian family. one of his grandfathers was an ambassador, and the otheras the oldest university in the arab world. he was the head of what was called the egyptian islamic jihad. you see the picture of him? every night they would have a press conference. because he spoke english,e became the spokesman. he became a hero in egypt on the radical part of the egyptian brotherhood. and he then adopted this guy. when ali got thrown out, he becomes looking for a guy that will ba spy for the movemt. and he continues and sends him first to work for egypt air. he's thrown out of the egyptian military, gets a job at egypt air. what does he do from? studies the measures of a major airline, andearns all the tricks. then we have the bombing in the spring. like in a truck bomb tt mirrored that wld happen later. and then in october the

ayman fuld-- i have a full-time job running in non-profit and i also run a-- about this ne campaign so i don't like taking time off to work exclusively on writing a book but i am fortunatehat i write very fast and i know what i'm looking for. i get to incredibly lucky breaks in this book. i started thi book, it was approved by the publication in late 2005, and interestingly enough the "l.a. times" had a four part series in january 2006 that basically said the theme of the series was, cesar chaz and ufw was a complete failure. look at the membership rules, lafite the condions of farmworkers and of course michael book, the wholehesis of my project was theonatelli with the success of the legacy of cesar chavez by current totals in the ufw so that inspired me to really get going because i have to prove these "l.a. times"uys totally wrong. d2 phenomenal look, what happens in the spring of 2006, immigrant rights movement explodes. i mean so here it was already planni writing about this build up to the immignt rights movement but i got lucky, it exploded. we could say see all this gund for co

ayman al zawahiri, that's not going to shut down al qaeda in iraq, in somalia, in all these other places. and the problem is that these factions and these franchises, even though they're al qaeda light or smaller al qaeda, they still have the same aspirations as bin laden. they still have the same aspirations of striking not just at the local enemy, but at the global enemy, the united states. so you know, you look at a group like mujahadin in somalia, this is a relatively small group that's somali and, yet, the leader of the group is saying we are part of a van guard of global jihad. we will send out cells from here in somalia and dispatch them towards the united states. so, it is a bit of a problem. we have a multileged or multiarmed octopus, and just cutting off one arm now is not sufficient. you really have to go after the entire global organization, and that requires, obviously, a lot of resources, a lot of time, a lot of effort and a lot of acumen on the part of u.s. law enforcement and intelligence agencies. >> and i think octopus's arms regrow. >> that's also very true, and we've

and joining me on the phone, michael ayman, reporter for "newsday." michael, you've heard the tapes. what are the most significant new comments coming out of these newly released calls? >> well, i think that the most significant new thing that we heard today was the attempts by the new york state police to track diane schuler's cell phone. there was some attempt made to contact verizon, which is diane schuler's cell phone carrier, to ping the cell phone and get some kind of location so they could send out patrol cars and find that minivan full of children. but it's not clear to me if they were -- if all of these efforts were happening too late. she did crash at 1:35 p.m., and i'm not sure exactly when these calls took place. >> so, the horror of all this is that they knew there was a problem and they were trying to connect the cell phone in which these children were calling asking for help with a vehicle and a location of that vehicle, and they sensed they were in a race against time, and boy, were they right. police, again, in this race against time,

and so first-aid always meant walking on rubble that had been filled with mines, and very often -- ayman part of their job was to get to this monument as fast as possible which meant in some cases the bombs were the artillery was still -- the battle was still on. fred part, one of these men, rushed to some castles in the tuscan countryside where the two, the german and the indian life was still fighting. so it did put this life in danger. >> was the group composed of mostly american soldiers? >> every unit of the government was composed in equal parts of british and americans. that was one thing. so, yeah it was british and american. >> as far as the artifacts saved can you give a couple of examples of the better known pieces? >> there were lots of paintings that the nazis had taken from florence. we are talking about 563 paintings from the gallery taken up with and traced back and returned to florence before the end of the war. so that was the most important accomplishment. >> could you put a general percentage of the amount of artifacts that were saved? >> i think most were saved. that

the president's speech in cairo was addressed to ayman zawahiri. what is the narrative of the global islamic jihad? short version is that the united states is now an imperialist power, the crusading power, which is try to impose its will on the muslim world by dividing the muslim world up into small states which it can manipulate such as the aurgement divided the arab world inñr the wake of world war i.çó . >> i am a student studying in the university of maryland. i'm from afghanistan and arrived here almost four months ago. i really enjoyed your speech. it was great. i just wanted to make a comment about my country, afghanistan. one is talking about the elections. i was there during the elections and was working directly on the elections, and you were seeing that how things were being arranged for fraud. and everybody was watching that, you know, and nobody was -- and we could see that this was the consequences or this would be the consequences of the elections. anyway, it's not a big deal in the eyes of afghans because it was the second electi

speaker we heard from the member for maurice celts who is ayman who is an ernest member of particle thement -- parliament and has shown not inconsiderable courage, for it was he who at the time of the 1983 general election to his considerable credit called upon conservatives in stockton, not to vote. for the ex-national front man who was the conservative candidate and i think everyone would acknowledge the exhibits of -- and strongly support the honorable member in that. i know the honorable gentleman's wife caroline who is an extremely active supporter of the campaign for soviet jury. we have had mutually productive in the cause of securing precisely that liberty which is celebrated in many ways, rightly so, in its advance in today' speech. the honorable members is also -- a star touched, not only is he the consultant for the northern independent book makers association and an office of some distinction and considerable advantage i would imagine, but he also -- he also, he also shows -- no i leave the prime minister to talk. it is more entertaining. theed honorable gentleman for maurice ce

ayman mention them against the -- i mention them to warn against having one single cause. there was a plunge in housing construction which followed the boom. housing prices almost tripled. by 2005, evidence was emerging that the run up had gone too far. vacancy rates began to rise in late 2005. measures of home construction and sales activity began to fall precipitously. home prices began to climb. that reduced equity. that led to a rise in defaults and foreclosures. the layoffs in residential construction dampened growth in overall household income and thus dampen growth in consumption spending. that caused the rest of the economy to slow. any expansion officially ended in december, 2007. the recession that followed was longer and deeper than any we have experienced since the 1930's. i can give you a lot of statistics but i will confine myself to one. the number of people employed as fall by 7.2 million through november. -- has fallen by 7.2 million through november. the contraction in economic activity appears to have ended last summer. the data we have received indicate

cia officers were killed -- that appears to be what they were trying to do, trying to get closer to ayman al-zawahiri. i think we have got efforts under way. host: do you think bin laden is our ralive, from what you know? guest: i don't think there is any reason to believe he is dead. there are recent audio tapes that have been authenticated, and we think they are current. i don't think we have had eyes on knowing exactly where he is since tora bora. there was a senate report out in a very good article in "the new republic" about the incident. but no, we think he is alive and there is an active effort to finding him and capturing him. no doubt it will be an important close to a chapter in the war on terror once he is either killed or captured. host: mike in pittsburgh, pennsylvania, a democrat. caller: listen, can you hear me? host: we are listening. caller: he hit the nail right on the head when he said screening people. what is wrong with -- if the airports will cooperate, what is wrong with having -- lines and lines of people born in this country, showing american citizenship, and anot

and he seemed to be giving information about the number two guy in al qaeda, ayman al zawahiri. was it too enticing? >> i think it is a case of a very clever adversary. we have to realize how smart al qaeda is. they were holding a bauble in front of us so enticing. this is what would make us jump. here is somebody who claims to have information about the location of ayman al zawahiri, the key target we have been going after with bin laden and it was irresistible. as a result, eight people are dead. and, again, if you want something that badly, you make yourself vulnerable and i think we have to be careful about that. the whole country would love to see bin laden and zawahiri brought to justice, but not at the price of making our own people vulnerable. >> it dawned on me, i'm sure on you that ayman al zawahiri is a medical doctor also, just like this double or triple agent. and the fact that an educated person like that could become a suicide bomber what does that say to you? >> it says the same thing to me as the abu mutallab case, many cases involve very educated people, people

really are the lead agency to try to capture what they call the high-value targets -- osama bin laden, ayman al-zawahiri, deputies, other allocated figures. the cia has that as their mandate. that is what they are doing in i]afghanistan and pakistan. it would be gathering information to target these leaders on the ground, and in pakistan, it would be the drone attacks. it is not just al qaeda, it is other militant networks that work in afghanistan and pakistan, jhaqqani network, pakistaniç taliban the leader f the pakistani taliban, baitullah mehsud, was killed last year. they don't acknowledge that there is even a drone campaign or program. it is a poorly kept secret. members of congress have talked about it. it is still a covert action, covert classified program, and they are not allowed to talk publicly -- the cia is not allowed to talk publicly about it.w3 privately, they say it is something they are proud of in terms of what they believe is really the only real successful effort to capture and kill al qaeda leaders -- well, to kill al qaeda leaders, is the drone program. host: the iss

. >> people -- ayman, quoting from a memo to the prime minister from john scarlett of the fourth of june, 2003, he said, "with agreement of the agencies and representatives from the number ten, danny preus and the press officer is john williams and james fever were involved," so they were quite actively engaged in the operations. >> i was making clear to the prime minister this has gone through all the people he probably would expect to take a look at some of the documents he's going to present to parliament. .. since that report, documents being released of the draft prepared by him with th%rbrbrbrb earlier. once we got to september the 5th an wednesday guide to september 5 in september 9, it was anything that anybody had written before, frankly, was to be used by john scarlett as he sawfish. but i did not see that as a draft dossier. >> when sir john scarlett passed you the first draft on september 10, i think you referred to considerable help from john williams. >> can i just emphasize for the sake that i'm not remotely criticizing john williamson this. he was totally, legitimately wa

[applause] >> that was on tvp-2 with polish translation. >> we never took a cruise to warsaw. >> i met just about everybody who was anybody in show business. including ethel merman. of all of the people that i have mapped, those that made the most profound impact on me was ethel merman and i did a summer tour on how to succeed in business in ohio. we toured together. i do not remember liking acting all that much, but i did not have to act. the great dividend about being on that show was meeting all these people. picking up their stories and learning about them. >> what was the accident that burn you? >>-- debt-burdened you -- that burned you. ? >> we were on location in asia minor. we were attending a soiree of government officials. at one point, a bunch of cast members and i decided to leave and go back to the ship. we had party balloons that we decided to take with us. i was smoking at that time. as we piled into the car, i put the car a

it's going to be a key element of filling the gap ayman vv production of food between now and the year 2015. technology alone isn't willing to be enough. to read the industry can produce great yielding seeds and technology to protect it from insects and other issues but until we can figure out how to educate the farmer so they are using their right combination and the weather conditions, until we can get collaborations' research alliances, collaborations on market access so the farmers can get their goods to market and a grass-roots way because it has to ochered farmer by farmer, and i think the three of them and, innovation, education and collaboration and bill would add something i think are the major elements of reaching that gap -- bridging that gap. >> and the one and only from the world bank. >> thank you. i don't know about one and only. but thank you. i think that we are thinking feeding the world, you know, we need to think of three or four judges even if we are able to produce we have to think of one. the fact that the other sources of demand for the food products there are c

i would just say that the -- the strong consensus of opinion is china's ayman with regard to north karelia is to prevent instability in the border region, the region that borders correa because of the large korean minority that lives there so there's a tremendous concern about the consequences of an implosion on the north korean state on china's own internal stability and security so rather than supporting any kind of north korean and venture is a militarily it would use whatever leverage it has by way of supplying north korea with resources to restrain. its alliance with north korea on paper would lead it to support any kind of military actions. >> thank you. gordon? >> if there were in and pollution, north koreans wouldn't go north into china, they would go self-interest of korea and we have already been lined passengers through the dmz so that is exactly where they are going to go. i think the chinese have to from additions for what they are doing. they see some short-term advantage certainly in the deviling south korea and the japan and getting concessions out of the united states beca

qaeda, and in the video he says he lured the agents into a trap using the promise of a location on ayman al-zawahiri's bait and the bomber says his original plan was to kidnap a jordanian intelligence officer and then got an opportunity that was too good to pass up, a large group of cia officers, all in one place. he called the agent in this tape, quote, valuable prey. mike shoier is with us today, good to have you here. i'm sure listening to these things being said, he called the agents stupid and said they should have known what he was up to and it is as painful for you as most americans who understand the sacrifice they were making living in afghanistan under these circumstances and working there. what do you make of the tape. >> it is typical al qaeda procedure and it was a very -- i don't mean to sound calloused but it was an excellent operation. any -- an operation that anybody in the western services would have been pleased to conduct. and, then, this part of the will, afterwards, or his statement, his interview is also typical of al qaeda, waiting for them -- the western media, c

its origins go back to 1947 and before 1947 ayman and mature student of that history but i don't profess to know a lot about eight, but what happened then affects us today but i need to stress both countries have legitimate security interests, and if one country says the other has no interest, then it's hard to have a dialogue. that is why president obama said we encourage any sort of dialogue between the two countries, and afghanistan is not the core of the issue but it is part of the issue. the other issues i would mention are critical of water. water is a huge issue and increasingly on our trips people in both countries talk about water, and overall security relationships. other issues have risen continuously, and we have good relations with both india and pakistan. it is our view that is in our national interest to improve relations with both countries. neither, not at the expense of the other. it is not -- improve relations is not at the expense of the other. on the contrary, we by improving relations in both countries we can go forward general search for peace and stability in the

i'm sure you have -- [laughter] if you see the first one, palestine, the first one that's journalism ayman that, too. he will see eye of a bumbling character. i often don't know what i'm doing. i'm getting into trouble. all that is true. what you have to realize in those days especially i was relatively inexperienced, i was scared, i just came up with this idea how my going to get any stories just getting into a taxi and going to place is getting out of the taxi and letting people descend on me saying what are you doing here and then saying i don't know, tell me what's going on. it was very sort of organic and i show a lot of that. i'm in a much stronger more prominent figure in the palestine book to read any book subsequent to that i think become a little more experienced in the kind of think in this last book it is much less of the bumbling that goes on. every now and then i will show bumbling, in the wrong way when there's bullets flying. i mean you've got to show the bubbling. [laughter] but generally speaking i wasn't -- i had become more professional. i know what i'm doing a little m

ayman who found out his doctor patented his cells without his knowledge and they were worth billions of dollars. it's very rare that happens. most cells are worth nothing. and the courts always will against the people of the cells come from so the way the case stands is that you don't have

sort of intersection of government and technology particularly in the intelligence community after ayman alzawahihi for a magazine in washington called government executives and very quickly a senior to after the attacks but the intelligence community and the law enforcement agencies had all of this information of al qaeda and these various silos and that none of it is being shared and correlated and one hand wasn't talking to the other and that this failure to connect the dots was one of the principal causes for this surprise attack on 9/11. they came forward with what they thought was the magic bullet of switching dee dee kissell the problem. see what we finally can't see and achieve a level of awareness of intelligence. and john poindexter had come back to government and charged at one of the main project is at the defense department. his background of course was an navy man that he had a real proclivity going back to the 80's and it showed an aptitude for computers and design. he came up with a pretty much the defense project agency which is a pentagon futurist trust that he coined t

you describe yourself as a classical liberal which ayman independent i thought you had more of a libertarian streak from previous appearances years ago when i had seen you on book tv and i find it interesting you wouldn't be a panelist on the book program itself. you've answered a lot of the questions i had which is how did you progress from the left which i have seen you before as a libertarian to the right where you are at now and if you could speak more to that there would be great. but one or two specific issues that come up is you've made the case for our association with israel and i don't think it gets asked a lot which is why does the united states have apart from the moral component their relationship with israel, why does it make sense for us to have a stronger relationship with that country than any other in the middle east? i know there is democracy, etc.. but that was one thing. and the other thing that hasn't come up so far today is the immigration issue you talked about the status of l.a. being a century city which is an idea beyond comprehension and there was on the anti-immi
