intercept terrorist communications. we go to karen, the direct ever of the center of th of school o. are we surprised of what we're learning particularly over the last four months, and at some point we've got to decide just at what point do we get truly outraged? >> we're not surprised. maybe that's the surprise, we're not surprised but continually troubled. partly what we're troubled by is we don't know the facts. we hear pieces of facts but then we have suspicions. every time we have suspicions two months later they become factual. it's a troubling situation. >> is it a step in the right direction that we're learning some details about what the nsa is doing before it was all in secrecy? >> between the decision of the court this afternoon to release

these documents, for these court documents to be released and reporting by a number of journalists we're sort of learning the contours of this, but we still don't know what was filtered out. we still don't know what was actually meta-data and content of e-mails. we don't know which americans were surveilled and what information was kept. we have suspicions and we know bits and pieces but we really do not know what this story is. >> then there is the other side of the equation where the nsa is issuing statements ere they're saying in effect we are doing this to protect american lives and to beat back the forces of those who would harm this country. >> right. we're still in a post 9/11 moment. we still, as a country, still seem to believe that any kind of tradeoff of security and liberty may be the best trade-off.

but you have to ask yourself if there is going to be this kind of surveillance, then how is it possible that we have the boston marathon attack be successful. >> you can't get everything. you can cast a wide net and you can't get everything. >> that's what they say, and that's true, but you can't get everything. therefore it's not useful to have this what they call needle in a haystack approach. it's not useful to have the hay tack. the question is how can we do this in a way that is constitutional, and that protects the rights of citizens. and i think americans may be at the place where they understand that there is--they don't have zero risk tolerance. >> don't we need a better explanation as to why we collect thousands of bits of information from the internet that is not terror related. there needs to be an explanation of that. you wonder if the fisa court is

aware of this and signing off on this. >> it's not just terrorism but national security in a larger sense, foreign agents, spice, it's not just terrorism. but it's national security. we need to know there are regulatory agencies and mechanisms in place to make sure that the kind of filtering that goes on goes on. we need to know to your point that there is an ability to collect information in a way that we can analyze it, and that's the problem here. is this making us selfer? >> karen greenberg as director of th the national security and school of law. thank you for your time. as many as 2,000 people are thought to be held in prison camps and torture is common in these camps. we have testimonies of former detainees. here is our story.

surrounded by mountain ranges. human rights activist have documented treatment going on in political camps thought to hold between 1500 to 2,000 people. >> we will leave no stone unturned, and then we will give notice to the government of north korea so they are on notice and have due process and have an opportunity to respond in detail not just general rejection that this is a hostile act because it's an act of the whole world community, but a reaction which will be appropriately detailed to all the evidence that we are gathering. >> reporter: the north korean government has always denied the existence of political concentration camps. so far it shows little willingness to look at its human rights record. >> reporter: they say they

provide an authoritative account of conditions in north korea, and they hope whatever recommendation they make that will help the world take notice and put pressure on north korea to change their ways. al jazeera, seoul. >> somalia is on the verge of a healthcare crisis. doctors without borders which provides everything from basic medical supplies to facilities is pulling out of the country. the group said that conditions are just too dangerous. >> there is a widespread of disregard of humanitarian action. as a result we are not able to insure the safety of our team. also we have not been able to for a while now carry out independent assessments of need. >> hospitals only have a few months of supplies, and funding left before the organization stops its support. last year the program provided treatment for more than 600,000 people and admitted 40,000

sufficient level of respect and protection from the leaders who claim to be in control of the area. and today we don't have that stability. >> have you lost any workers. >> we've lost 16, and we believe now we have reached our limits and we don't have enough guarantees for success. >> do you feel that your personnel is actively being targeted? >> we do. we do feel that these have been targeted attacks against the organization, against workers in general. but because we are a provider of aid in somalia we've been very much exposed, and we also accepted a number of risks and compromises that we never accepted in any other countries, and today we believe it's time to stop. >> if there is a country that

needs your help, it's certainly somalia. what happens to the people now? >> definitely the people will pay the highest price in its leaders to provide health services. >> that country is not equipped to do that. >> no, they're not equipped, and as you say we provided services to 600,000 people last year. so it will be critical for the population there. >> is there a chance you might revisit? >> you know, it's not in the dna of the organization to withdraw from a country where there are so many needs, it's quite the opposite. we would definitely consider going back to somalia if we have a sufficient level of confidence that we could work in acceptable conditions there. >> that's a difficult decision, but we appreciate you coming and talking us ther through it.
