they never have to confront. joining us is phil. ?r.t he hahe has worked in the n astros foindustry for a decade. the training that tsa goes through how much does that match what tsa responded to today. for the most part they responded really well. they deal with a checkpoint and on for the most part. everything before that where the shooting began, is a public area and really controlled by law enforcement. and so far from what we see, everyone responded appropriately. sesomeone walked into an airport and started shooting. >> one person passed away and this could have been far, far worse. it was a a according to plan.

safe. it's a well run drill for them i would say. as far as the man a allegedly cared this how th out. he was wounded. as investigators try to pose this together what is the key information in him aside from motive. was it mental health or targeting someone specifically. what are they after? >> rn thethey are looking for m. they are looking for what is an appropriate response for a person to go a and gh go and sh. do airports across the country change their an apparatus after this. or do they say there was a shooting and maybe we should tighten security just in case it's not an isolated in inciden. >> you will see often everyone

reanalyze any kind of aviation incident. do we do everything right and do we need to go back and re-examine this. do we want to put a guard here and there and national guardsmen an police officers of and that is something they will explore. >> zplrnghts. >> anything surprise you in the way that things played out today. >> no. we heard some unfortunate things happened and we had some heroism and the casualty numbers could have been higher. >> absolutely. everyone was struck pi th by tht if he wanted to take out more people he could have. >> the shooting at lax meant a delayed start for the weekend for thousands of air travelers around the world nights were

miles-per-hour gusts and quebec city is at 43 miles-per-hour. we are looking at 12 miles-per-hour winds for new york city. in exchange for this we are going to see cooler temperatures in the forecast. >> all right kevin, thank you. the senate votes to expand the powers of the nsa and edward snowden is now. offering to help germany. >> and president obama shook hands with the leader of iraq for the first time in two years.

the more information you collect about innocent people the harder it is to actually find the people that actually mean to do you harm. and the metaphor that surveillance officals use they are hooking for a needle in the hay stack. the larger the hay stack becomes the more giv give difficult it becomes to find the needle. >> they didn't know about the boston marathon attacks. they didn't know about the christmas day bombing of an airplane over detroit. they didn't know about the navy yard shooter or the mass shootings in the united states over the last years given the u biubiquitous and power you you f this why didn't you know about them. they are collecting so much they can't possibly know what they have. they can't find the things you would pan want them to know. secondly the tact of the united

states government over the last 13 years any time they want to justify anything they scream terrorism over and over. americans have been critical enough to analyze the truth of that with that happening it's no longer working. we'll hear more from glen greenwall tune into "fault lines" tonight at 10:30 eastern time. the man behind the leaks is reaching out to german chancellor merkel. edward snowden is reaching out to the chaps chaps chancellor od the actions of the nsa harmful. he is still wanted by the obama administration and despite the contact with the german members of parliament he remains in russia. ♪ >> some big name players in the

wanted. wanted. >> they put a 5 million-dollar bounty on his head. according to our sourcings we are told that the attack tack place close to the border at the time he was riding in a. >> the local television is even saying that his funeral will be held at 0 tomorrow which is saturday. so indeed the confirmation is

coming in and of course this may prove to be a game changer. >> in iraq the security situation is growing more eye lenl by the day. the country's prime minister is now asking the obama administration for more help. and today the prime minister did so directly at the white house. mike viqueira has the story. >> it was their first face-to-face meeting in two years. and it comes as iraq faces new threats and doubt over it's stablity. >> unfortunately al qaeda has still been active and has dproan more active recently. so we had a lot of discussion about how we can work together, to push back against that terrorist organization that operates not only in iraq but alsos a threat to the entire region and to the united states. >> both president obama and the prime minister maul ki blame al qaeda for the surge of violence in iraq.

>> we have a commonly vision about all of the issues we discussed when we talk about the return of terrorism and how to counter terrorism. >> over the last year the security situation in iraq has taken a dramatic downturn. in october alone 979 iraqis were killed in terror attacks. 852 were civilians. more than 7000 have died since the beginning of this year. with no u.s. combat troops remaining in iraq an no chance for american troops on the ground for future, maul ki is in washington to ask for more american weapons to fight. including apache helicopters. >> it's not just al qaeda but

the prime minister has fostered the situation and how do you respond to that? >> this is not the product of intraparty or infra fax shun conflict. this is iraq -- or i mean al qaeda once again trying to destabilize iraq and take advantage of the instability there. a former u.s. ambassador is critical to the iraqi leadership. >> the problem is iraq has three separate groups. the kurd and the sue any arabs and shi'ite arabs. dough spite of the mistakes of malki the country remains a constitutional democracy and it has not collapsed under the weight of the horrific set of terrorist attacks. >> now president obama is pushing the president to hold elections to bring the country back to together through the political route. he assures him that those

elections will be held next year. >> with us from ann arbor michigan. is a professor of history at the university of michigan. professor cole good to have you we saw in that piece there is a division between the house who stand to growing violence in iraq and we have numbers of the senate saying know, but this is because of sectarian tensions. who is right here? >> they are both right, david. the problem is that the terrorists have a base in the sue any arab communitie -- sunni arab communities in ike. they are not turning them in. malki has not reached out to them sufficiently. he has to repair his relations request with the sue ansunni ar.

>> regarding maki's request that america send over more equipment or apache helicopters would that help things as far as tamping down the violence. >> well the apache helicopters might help in a taken gagement. but that is not the real sleus here. counter terrorism is a political act. you have to address the grievances in the community that is producing these terroristses. so i don't think the equipment is going to be the real solution here. what is the real solution? is there something that the obama administration can be doing short of providing military help that might help ease the situation? we need to know more where the money is coming from that supports these extremive groups.

and where the money is coming from. and in addition to that and one thing he has to do is put pressure on malki to bring him in from the cold. i domino that washington is the best place to make this. >> many of my colleagues say the violence is growing in iraq. >> certainly the violence has grown and it's up substantially from tha last year.

it's an intense campaign and the people who are leading it think there is something to be dpainld from this. from -- gained from this. they hit soft targets and they hit children buying use cream or funerals or weddings. >> it's a little funny as to why they think they can over throw the government in this way. i think mainly they are trying to stop foreign investment from coming in. i was in baghdad in early may and i can tell you this are no new sky scrapers going up under these circumstances. >> how safe was baghdad in your estimatation. >> well baghdad is a city of 6 or 7 million. and when this is political violence of this sort it's not everywhere all of the time. we were under the protection of the ministry of defense. and we had a tan tank outside or hotel and i think it was perfectly safe. thithere were the woke i week ie 22 people died in bombings and

attacks across the city. >> it's a worrisome situation. it's not as bad as mexico it should be pointed out or as colombia. but it's a bad situation. and it could get worse and the government is fall down on the job with regard to counter terrorism and the political deals that may tamp down the violence. juan cole thanks for joining us with that back drop of the north campus at the ys university of michigan. >> there is more evidence that the launch of the new health website is rockier than first feared. on the first day 3 million people tried to use the website and six people managed to get thank you anthank youthrough an. the site is one of the key ways that people withhel with health

insurance are supposed to sign up for coverage. results for day two showed some progress on that day 248 people enrolled. the administration hopes to have 7 million people signed up by next march. if you are one of the 14 million americans that has insurance that you bought yourself, this is a chance, a chance, you will soon receive if you haven't already a cancellation letter. under the new healthcare law the insurance policies have to meet the certain services ae and if t the man can't b -- plan can't b. and for consumers it's a bit unnerving. >> erin cox is a skin scare skie specialist who has to shop around for new coverage. >> i was a little shocked.

and i tnlt thin didn't think its completely clear or maybe the president was transparent on what was going to happen with our current plan. i had no plans on changing. >> erin doesn't have her letter at the salon. but that is okay i have got mine. come december 32n 31 municipal y healthcare plan will no longer be available. >> i don't think that the democratic side or the republican side. >> the cancellations make sense because many of the policies don't meet the care care care requirements. >> they are going to see higher premiums because you have so many other benefits. >> hatcher says it's not all bad news for those people losing their coverage.

people that are paying higher premiums pause of preexist something conditions could see their healthcare plummet. going from now to january one it could be $400 a month. the problem they can't get onto the website to enroll. >> erin cox did get thank you and she didn't like what she saw. none of my doctors were on the plan and we are not having anymore children. i doent need maternity and this are a lot of things i'm not getting and i'm paying for. >> shy hopeshe hopes that undere healthcare plan that her family is not what doe choosing betweea
