attacks of 10 years ago the nation has been somewhat rattled by the possibility, according to homeland security experts, that there was another terror plot in the works. our ed henry is reporting from the white house that authorities there are beginning to believe that the threat has dissipated. we'll get more on that later. but wanted to bring you that news. that the terror threat hovering over all of us the past few days is apparently dissipating, that according to ed henry. >> we remember where we were 10 years ago today. our next guest was with first lady laura bush, when she learned the nation was under attack. the first lady was prepared to leave the white house for capitol hill. today former president george w. bush and the former first lady were with president obama and the first lady at ground zero. back on 9/11, of course president bush was in florida at an education event there. he spoke to the nation from that school in the moments after the attacks.

>> today we've had a national tragedy. two airplanes have crashed into the world trade center in an apparent terrorist attack on our country. >> with us now the former director of communications and press secretary for first lady laura bush. it is so stunning to think back. i remember the newscast, i was supposed to do that day. of course, everything went out the window. everything in the nation changed that day. i know with you were supposed to go to capitol hill with the first lady. this was going to be a big, big deal that day, tell us about it. >> absolutely. i was outside of the white house waiting for the traveling press corp to be escorted to the motorcade to join us on the trip to the hill. i remember vividly one of the reporters walking towards the

motorcade was on her cell phone with her desk. she saw me and said noelia, a small plane has crashed into the world trade center. your boss is going to have some competition for news today. i was struck by that. because it was such a beautiful day, i could not imagine this happening, because it was also a beautiful day in new york. i walked back inside to the white house. i told mrs. bush's lead secret service agent what i just heard. we went to look at a tv monitor in his office and watched the tower billowing. we ofourse looked at each other and thought this could not be an accident. right then we heard mrs. bush was coming down to the main floor so we could travel to the capitol. at agent told mrs. bush what happened. her first reaction of course was shock. she thought, this means that senator clinton is not going to be able to stay for the hearing. because senator clinton was on senator kennedy's committee.

first reaction was for the people in new york. >> tell us about, if you would, i know there was so much confusion that day, the secret service always does a phenomenal job of protecting the president. yet, she had to be concerned for her husband that day, was he? >> absolutely for her husband and for her daughters one of whom was attending yale, so she was close to the area. between the time we left the white house and got to the hill the second plane hit the second tower. so we knew we were under attack as a nation. my vivid memory was sent for kennedy was waiting for mrs. bush to escort her into his office. it was this time of to remember anything positive, incredible unity as a nation. we saw senator kennedy with mrs. bush. mrs. bush later reflected the last time our nation was struck in such a shocking

manner was when president kennedy, the senator's brother was assassinated. the symmetry of ted kennedy with mrs. bush showed that together in tragedy we stand united. >> i know there were moments of panic that day. nobody seemed to know what was going on. you went back to the white house, once or two times from the so-called secure location? >> yeah, after we left the hill we went to the secure location several hours later i and a colleague of mine were escorted to the white house by is. to collect the -- by secret service to collect the belongs of our staff members. as you recall, those who were left at the white house, at the white house during the taxes were told to run. that was the evacuation plan to run for their lives. everybody left and their purses and valuables were there. we needed to have our belongings to get back to our residences later on.

i remember going foot white house, it was vacant, like a ghosttown, there was nobody there. the most powerful seat in the world, vacated like that was such a terrible image. obviously, underscored the fact that as a nation we were -- our innocence had been lost. >> noelia rodriguez former press secretary to laura bush, thank you. >> thank you. >> there are so many remarkable stories of survival from that day. this man was buried twice on 9/11 and lived to talk about it and serve in iraq. we hear from him, next. >> a timeline of events. a tribute to the men and women who lost their lives and to those who survived. the "mystery spot".

a recent fox news poll finds 54% of americans think we are safer that compares with 33% who say we are less safe if you look at the other columns, american attitudes have remained relatively consistent over the years. michael chertoff is former secretary of homeland security and joins us now. in preparing for this segment, i read a nugget of information i hadn't realized before. in the immediate aftermath of the attacks, then attorney general john ashcroft was rushing back from milwaukee to washington, d.c.. you were calling the shots, at the justice department. tell us about your memories of that day? >> good to be on, on such an important occasion. you are right, 10 years ago i was the head of the criminal division at the department of justice. like most people, i heard about the first plane hitting the world trade center. i assumed it was a pilot error. within a matter of minutes,

when the second plane hit, i realized we were unattack. i went to the fbi operations center which was the command center for the response. together with director bob muller, brand new as fbi director, we began the process of identifying w was responsible and perhaps more important, making sure we didn't have a follow-on attack. >> the follow-on attack is what concerns everybody to this day. former congressman lee hamilton, famously said recently, most people he knows in the security and intelligence community believe that it is only just a matter of time until there is a successful attack on the homeland of this country. how do you feel about what he said? >> well, i think we are unquestionably, much schaefer than we were 10 years ago. i think the ability of terrorists to bring operatives from around the world into the u.s. is much less than it was 10 years ago.

obviously, we can't guarantee perfect safety. in fact, we had a couple years ago, a horrible incident at fort hood where a homegrown terrorist, nadal hasan killed over a dozen people and shot many more. the fact is, we have reduced the risk quite a bit. that is not an invitation to stay complacent. >> you say we need to keep our eye on two nations in particular, pakistan and afghanistan. what troubles you about that part of the world? >> even though they have dealt some very substantial blows to the central command of al-qaeda in afghanistan and pakistan, i don't think it is, at this point, reasonable to count them out. there are still very dangerous leadership elements there. we have seen, repeated attacks in pakistan, as well as in the surrounding areas carried out by terrorists. we know we -- they are continuing to recruit and

train westerners to send them back to the united states. we are now concerned about yemen, somalia and certain parts of north africa. >> in a word, what do you say to the american people on this, 10 years after the 9/11 attacks? >> we should feel a sense of solidarity with those who grieve. pride with those who stood up on 9/11 and thereafter, to protect our country. and determination to continue to carry on in their memory. >> michael chertoff, now of the chertoff group and former director of homeland security for this great country. thank you. >> my pleasure. >> you were just taking in the memorial that is going to be an iconic image for our country. there are so many from september 11th, 2001. i'm sure many of us have some that come to mind when we speak of this day. we speak to a photographer who brought one of those pictures that will be forever instilled in our memories. he will talk to us about his

♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ while we remember this day, we can't forget a few key facts. this wasn't a natural disaster

or tragic accident. it was an intentional terrorist attack, designed to kill as many americans as possible. if you look at some of the images, here are the men behind this attack. mostly saudi, some young, some older. they all had traited in common, arab men, muslims, who attacked us in the name of their religion. 10 years later the same ideology that fueled this attack is still with us. author and professor wrote the book the trouble with islam today now she has a new bookk.?g allah, liberty and love. when we look at the same ideology that is behind this attack, where do we stand with that ideology now as a country? >> i think we're very confused as a country. first of all, is there a difference between islam and islamism, the extremist version of islam? as a fateful muslim, i say there is. if i didn't believe there is raw material in my faith of islam to reconcile faith and

freedom, i couldn't stay muslim with integrity. i am here to tell you that there is hope him. there is hope because i traveled the world and i've talked to young muslims all over the world who do hunger to bring pluralism and open-mindedness to our state. >> have we countered that ideology in the right way? have we approached it the right way's nation? >> not yet, i don't think. 10 years is not a long time. i cringe myself as somebody who lives in this country when americans are at each other's throats let alone anyone elses. i think we need to pull together and forgive one another to deal with the larger global problem that we have. >> how do we do that? >> first, you need to ally with reform-minded muslims. notice i didn't say moderate. to me moderate muslims are part of the problem. you might say how can that be? they are so defensive about their identities as muslims, they become consumed about

what they perceive to be imperialism done by the west and fail to see there is a form of imperialism within islam. mainly the extremists are killing more muslims than any i'm powers. we need to restore faith with this beautiful passage in the qur'an which states: god does not change the condition of a people until they change what is in themselves. chapter 13, verse 11. i would like to think of it as a 13/11 solution to the 9/11 abomination. >> it is hard to read the facts sometimes. if you look at your own work and you wrote your first book after 9/11. now you have a book that is about allah, liberty and love. how do you take the facts of today and try to resolve it for where we are going in the years ahead? >> i think because of what i report in allah, liberty and love, there is real hope. i don't heene that

theoretically. i mean -- young people i've met around the world who are putting their own necks on the line to speak truth to power within their communites, i want nonmuslims to do the same in terms of al lying with reformist muslims and make that distinction. between who are the reformers and the mealy mouth moderates. >> maybe easier said than done. thank you. >> thank you. the attacks that began here 10 years ago today changed america forever. on that day our nation came together as one to face the unthinkable. the following story is dedicated to those who survived and to those who were lost that will never be forgotten. >> we spent much the day in air force one, security believing i was not safe for him to return to washington. he in the end overruled them. >> i watched a man grow that

day. but he lived up to my expectations. so i don't think that he became someone else. he was the same person i knew on september 10th, on september 11th. >> terrorists attacks can shake the foundations of our biggest buildings, but they cannot touch the foundation of america. >> after he made that address, we also had a meeting in the president's emergency operations center. when it came time for the end of the day, the president went off to the white house mansion, to go to bed. i went back to my office in the west wing. all of a sudden two secret service agents came in and literally lifted me out of my chair and started running down the corridors of the white house to take me down to a bunker. that was because it was a report that a plane entered the air space near washington.

and so i'm down in this bunker, down comes the president, carrying the dog and then the first lady comes down, carrying the cat. it was a long day. >> the terrorists declared war on america. >> i happened to look out to intersection i saw a huge shadow come over the street. a few minutes later our radios crackled and asked for every officer to come back to the police desk. >> the inspector at the bus terminal asked me to get a team of men together. we were going to mobilize and head down to help. >> that was our team the five of us, sergeant mcglock land and myself, rodriguez and chris also. >> when i would call a very large explosion from where we were on the concourse you

could look into the lobby of either tower. i could see the lobby of building two disappearing. >> i remember looking up and everything was shaking. that's when the sergeant said run, run. >> i assumed it was a car bomb that had gone off on the street level of building to. >> as i turned the corner, i remember being lived up and literally body slammed down. i went for my radio and started calling out 813, 813, which is our code for officer down. we are being hit with debris and something hit my hand and i lost the radio and i held on for dear life. >> i was the initial fbi commander on scene at the pentagon. i was able to get there six minutes after the plane hit. i knew it was a terrible thing that happened. i raced down the hall and was

told you can't go any further because the smoke was too bad. downstairs, outside. then came around the corner and there was the flame and the smoke and the carnage. people had not arrive yet, the first responders. i gave a hand and then people started to arrive. and i figured i would get back in my office and get at the task of, what next. >> a wall had fell on me. had crushed me. dominic had been buried next to me. but he was caked in with the debris, while the sergeant was 15 feet back. >> dominic was working to get will out. i could hear them talking. i wasn't injured, i was just stuck. there was a big slab of concrete across me. >> i remember sergeant yelling out sound out.

right away we knew okay. that's when we didn't hear antonio or christopher. >> they were above me. will could see the light through an opening in the degree brie. when we heard another loud explosion. that was tower one collapsing on us. it was very scary. but you hoped that was your relative that was running. my sister was the type she listened to instructions. the firemen had told her and the rest of the people that were coming down the stairs to please wait in the landings. because unfortunately, they were bringing down burnt bodies. they stayed and they listened. >> i remember seeing dominic back up and a large piece of concrete had entered this void and sat dominick dunne in a very harsh way -- dominic down

in a very harsh way. we had the sergeant yelling now he was being crushed. >> i was trapped in an extreme amount of pain from the pressure. the bones from night knees and hips were -- from my knees and hips were squeezed between two pieces of concrete. >> dominic was bleeding from my mouth and said will don't forget i died trying to save you guys. he took his firearm and lived into the air and shot out a hole as a last-ditch effort to say we are down here and that's when he passed. >> that was the one side of the building that had recently been retrofited. there were less people on that side because construction had literally just stopped. people were moving back in. had it hit another side that was fully occupied, the death

toll would have been considerably higher. >> when the plane hit the building it immediately disintegrated, as it went through the building. i don't think there was a plane piece bigger than a couple of feet, if that, short of the engines and the landing gear that we collected. >> at 10 minutes after 3:00, his secretary called me. and she said, is rudy home? and when she said that, i knew. i picked up the phone and i called his parents. and i said they can't find rudy. >> certainly, a frightening moment. maybe we can see there's a giant chunk of one of the two

towers in the middle of church street in front of the building, where the building used to be. many of these firefighters believe they've lost co-workers in that debris. >> at one point i looked up and i remember seeing what i thought was some kind of liquid. what happened was when i lifted my hand to get that pipe, the pipe made a pinging noise.,1fa and the sergeant said keep trying maybe someone will hear us. >> i put on my shoes and i walked to the train station. and i saw his car was there. but i didn't want to believe. i still had hope. >> i remember it was probably around 8 p.m. that night. i heard in the distance someone yell out united states marine corp, can anybody hear us? god gifted me with a big mouth and lungs. even though i was tired i

started yelling, officers down, papd, we need help. i remember in the distance hearing one person say shh, i hear something. i said will, port authority police we are injured we've been trapped here. >> i don't know how they could have found us in 16 acres of debris pile. >> since i was caked in concrete you couldn't tell the difference between the human or concrete. somehow, some way, i had built up enough saliva, which i didn't have all night long to touch this part of my hand and wave it. the one marine said, i got what! it turned out to be staff sergeant jason thomas. >> the search-and-rescue effort officially has not yet gotten underway. they are bringing down the heavy equipment to lower manhattan to begin moving the heavy rubble, the debris under which thousands and thousands

of people are buried, some alive, many perhaps not, we are told. >> it took three painful hours to get me out. they were talking about cutting my leg off, i told them if never to, do it. >> i could hear them working in the well. i knew we were good, weere going to get out. >> i came out 11 p.m. that night. i was there 13 hours. >> only thing we know is they were found a while ago. they are alive and we'll get more information about their condition. >> there are survivors. it is going to definitely be a race against the clock to get them out. >> i heard that there was talk at one point that bringing my

wife down there to say good-bye, because they didn't think they were going to get me out. they worked on me for hours. 7:45 the following morning that i was out. >> they sealed off the air space around manhattan. they have a navy warship that's in the harbor. >> i understand that you were in a building that collapsed. >> yeah. when a harrowing experience. -- had a harrowing experience. we tried different exit areas, a number were closed and blocked. i can share with a lot of people that went through yesterday. >> we took care of 360 individuals in an expeditious manner. we waited for more and there were none coming. i sent residents and faculty

to the triage center at chelsea pier, no one was there. i think everyone can deduce how sad this event is. >> there were two port authority police officers late last night taken from the rubble alive and saved. >> if either of us fell asleep we would have perished. that was very important. that there was time think that nodded off. and he would yell at me. >> there are no more survivors expected to located in the pentagon rubble. the death toll expected to be huge at the world trade center site. some people, it is believed are still trapped alive >> only crime these people did was go to work. they were not soldiers. they were not fighters. they worked for their families. >> this -- just completed a meeting with our national security team. we received the latest intelligence updates. the deliberate and deadly

attacks, which were carried out yesterday against our country, were more than acts of terror. they were acts of war. >> unlike the terrorism targets at the pentagon and in new york where there is still hope today of finding survivors. here in shanksville, pennsylvania where flight 93 went down, that hope is long gone. why this plane went down here and not perhaps a more high profile target as some are speculating could be the result of heroics from the crew or some passenger who made it into the cockpit and decided if i'm going to die i'm going to take this plane down here in a rural area. >> fire continues to be hazardous. there are evacuations made right now, not because of another terrorist acta. the fires are extraordinary difficult to put out, because the casings of the pentagon, as you would imagine, were so thick. >> on 9/12 there were still

significant fires in that building while we were inside. at some point the smoke conditions got too heavy and we had to pull people out of building. >> we had family members walking the areas some with blank stares. they brought photographs of their loved ones, brothers, fathers. in this case, a very young woman who worked on the 101st floor of tower one. they are staying to anyone who is here, media, hospital, if you have seen this woman, to call this number. this is how desperate people are for information. >> this coming to us from the boston globe and its website. three people arrested this afternoon at the westin copley hotel in boston. after federal authorities linked them to the credit card which was reportedly used to purchase tickets on the flights involved in tuesday's world trade center attack.

back. that we would not go along the path of the prior administration treating terrorism as a criminal matter. indicting people in absentia. and he resolved that the only way to deal with that was not to play defense, but to play offense. >> in new york city, the reflecting absence memorials have open to the families of those lost that day. we will continue to cover as the names continue to be read of the victims of the 9/11 attacks. >> on september 11th, u.s. army captain was working as a stockbroker at the world trade center. where they stand on the site that you were just taking a look at. when the planes hit amidst all the chaos he ran inside tower one helping people escape to safety. he himself way a victim after

>> i'm not sure they say it was a matter of hours. rescuers told the people that every bone in my body was broken from the position i was in. my left elbow came out of my skin. burns on the back of my head and wounds all over. >> what makes your story more incredible than it already is. several years after that event, you were called back to serve the country and you served the country in iraq. how did that happen? >> i received a notification of recall from the independent ready reserve. i thought i was a mistake. i was on 100% disability from every agency. to my understanding i'm the only person in social security history to be 100% disabled and called back to combat zone. in turn, i left all my disability money, including the federal victim comp found of a million and a quarter. >> to serve? >> just to serve, yes.

>> you were at the first attack that started the war on terror. then you went and fought. several things you did when were you in iraq. what are some of your observations and feelings now, 10 years later? >> i've only missed to times being at ground zero on september 11th. i came in from iraq on my r & r to be here. instead of a day of remembrance, which is depressing. i look at it as a day of unity. the united states came together. with not a second thought everybody gave everything that was needed. >> does your heart start racing, do you start feeling that? >> not any more. because we've moved on. and the resilience of the united states, come back and build everything. if they offered me to go back to the 73rd floor i wouldn't have a second thought about doing it. >> i don't know if anyone can relate with that. when we watch some of these

families and everyone else touched by the attacks. it is important to look back and remember what happened on that terrible day 10 years ago. i want to play a particular piece of tape with a young man who i stopped in the street who had just witnessed the most horrific thing that i -- that any of us could imagine. >> i was passing the hudson hotel when me and a couple of guys saw the plane come overhead low and loud. we looked up and said where is that going? next thing you know it crashes into the building. then we kept walking, we were near water street and you saw the second plane come into the building. >> >> reporter: that young man is john miller with me right now, 10 years later. do you think about that day? do you get chills like i do and what do you remember of it? >> i think about it everyday. i work down here former little lynch, my office looks down

into what was the pit for a couple years, construction site and now the memorial. >> reporter: how difficult was that for you to go back to work everyday and look down to what had been the world trade center? >> it was tough get -- getting back looking down there. we wanted to come back to this build and hope the revitalization and have merrill lynch have a footprint down here? >> reporter: do you have nightmares? >> not so much any more. back then you hear a plane, boom from a car in the city, different sounds. >> reporter: john now you look out and see this memorial, it has to be a good feeling. >> beautiful, nice to look down. the families can go to a place, nice, quiet park where they can reflect on the people who were unfortunately lost that day.

>> reporter: remarkable transformation, obviously no new yorker, including john can forget. >> rick leventhal, thank you for that look back, amazing. >> the 9/11 attacks launched the war on terror. the u.s. going into afghanistan and then later into iraq. paul bremer was presidential on under president bush and served as chairman of the national commissioon terrorism. he knows a great deal about that topic. we've gone 10 years mr. ambassador without a successful attack on this country, since that terrible day. what do you attribute that? >> i think there are basically three things that have happened. first, when islamic extremists started that war against us, president bush understand immediately we had to take the war to the terrorists. to his credit, president obama has followed that along. secondly, the islamic

extremists suffered a bad decade. they were unable to attack us again on american soil many al-qaeda in particular, lost a very important battle in western iraq, after the surge. so, what has happened in the last decade, basically is our victories over islamic extremism, they are not complete yet, but those victories have brought moderate arabs and persians latitude to develop a new narrative. a narrative of representative government. that is a real defeat for islamic extremists. >> you would disagree with those who argue that the war in iraq was a diversion or not central to the war ton terism -- war on terrorism, you think it had a positive effect? >> i think the defeat in iraq was a major element. it is important under this administration they continue the drone attacks and have taken out a number of al-qaeda leaders.

but the ideology of islamic extremism has had a bad decade. basically, arabs and persian muslims are finally saying we need to change the nartive. let's stop this 300-year-old narrative of victimization. put them on a better path that's good news for america. >> there is still a long way to go. we mentioned that you are something of an expert on terrorism. there's still a long way to go to identify the threats that might yet be out there. we had just another one the seems to be diminishing, thankfully. but what do you say to those policy makers in washington about trying to get everybody on the same page when it comes to dealing with the current threat? >> i think the remaining part of the threat that is very serious, is the threat of states which sponsor terrorism. fortunately, iraq and libya are no longer on that list.

syria and iran are major supporters of terrorism. iran the biggest of all. maybe the arab spring, as it is called, the desire for moderate muslims to run their own countries, will have its moment in syria and iran. until that happens, we need to be very attentive to the fact that both of those countries have had weapons of mass destruction programs. iranians are working towards a nuclear capability. so, the state sponsorship is one of the major focuses now in this ongoing struggle. >> ambassador paul bremer, chairman of the national commission on terrorism. ambassador, thank you. >> nice to be with you. >> a tribute to the sacrifice and bravery of the passengers aboard flight 93 is currently underway. their acts helped prevent countless further deaths and destruction when they took matters into their own hands

and brought their hijacked plane down in an empty field in shanksville, pennsylvania. the vice president yesterday referred to what happened on flight 93 as the first battle in the war on terror. he's not the first one to say that. so many have charactered it that way, since americans brought the fight to the terrorists in that airplane. where are we in the war on terror, now 10 years after that day? >> the killing of osama bin laden changed the dynamic. there's still, as all officials from the administration and past administrations have been talking about, a real threat from islamic extremism and specifically, al-qaeda. it is diminished by all accounts. but still present. that is, obviously clear by the specific incredible --

specific and credible threat the administration has been talking about and dealing with this recent days as you take a look at president obama in shanksville, getting ready to speak there. the vice president's comments there yesterday, also former president bush and former president clinton, saying flight 93, the folks on that plane, president bush said the moment america's democracy was under attack our citizens defied their captors by holding a vote many essentially voting to charge that cockpit. president clinton saying the country is indebted to these people for an incal aoubl gift. flight 93 was -- bound for the capital. the symbolism of the capitol being attacked 10 years ago would have made 9/11, exponentially worse. as bad as it is looking back in all of the griefing today, imagine the nation's capital being in flames as well.

>> it is hard to think about that. again, as we watch the president in shanksville, pennsylvania, our nation's newest national park by the way. 60 miles southeast of pittsburgh. as most of us remember the plane went down in this field, where luckily, it is almost a miracle that there wasn't anything else around. tragic as it was. br , as you take in i am s of the president -- bret, as you take in the images of the president, what strikes you most about this year's memorial? >> jenna, every)8 images and relive where every american was. it was a moment that everyone can say i was here, this is what i was doing when it all happen. when you see these images again and again, it is painful. some say cathartic.

others say they need to go through . 10 years is a different story. to hear those folks at new york, which is obviously the centerpiece of the world trade center, the boy who said, he never met his father because he was in his mother's belly many he said i love you, you gave me the gift of life, i wish you could be here to enjoy it with me that is powerful. i don't care where you sit it strikes a chord, i think. for americans this is an important day. one of the reasons that we spend so much time looking back and looking forward about how the country has changed. >> we are taking in some of the video we have bret of the wreath laying with the president and the first lady. they have a busy schedule ahead today, as our leaders do honor today. it is so appropriate that you pointed out that little boy who was naming his father at ground zero, it was a moment

where even here where we are hearing all of the names and you have all of these journalists, cameras and producers, that everyone had to stop for a moment and take that in. tomorrow will be another day. you don't want to say you go back to business tomorrow. what is ahead bret, what is ahead here for this president? >> this president politically has a tough road ahead. he is obviously going to be facing a lot of things here in the nation's capital, dealing with congress as his big speech this past thursday laid out. as far as national security, arguably, that fight continues, accelerated the drone attacks in pakistan. continuing to deal with these specific threats that the country has to face. >> certainly a lot ahead. bret thank you for joining us. by the way, some of the guests

that bret is going to be talking tonight include dick cheney, donald rumsfeld, you don't want to miss that. 6 p.m. eastern on fox news. what we have done right and what we have done wrong in keeping america safe since 9/11. we talk with a former covert ops officer with the cia about those topics and more.

what are we doing right and what still needs improvement? joining us now mike baker former cia covert operations officer. now the president of a global intelligence and security firm. there were lapses in intelligence back 10 years ago that allowed the terrorists to do this. have those been fixed? >> yeah, the lapses were more breaks in the chain. that really hadn't been built at that point. there were very good efforts underway. even at that point, to understand al-qaeda, to understand what the threat was. but, one of the biggest problems we had was passing that information through the various points. whether we are talking about the cia, fbi, nsa through the system, local, state and federal authorities getting actual intelligence interest the intel community, that was a real problem. since 9/11, when you talk

about what had been the most impactful changes, that really has been if not number one that has been at the top three of the changes that have been taken place. the ability to get a piece of information from the field, from a source and into the hands of either the war fighter or those taking action again the enemy. >> what are the top couple of things that you think we have done right? >> since that day, the three most important and most impactful decisions made, one was going straight into afghanistan. the decision by president bush's administration to route al-qaeda to remove the able they had, prior to 9/11, to sit in a permanent facility to plan, train, recruit and finance an operation like 9/11. doing that was an incredibly important decision. probably number two would be fresno -- would be president obama's cision to significantly ramp up the

drone program. the drone program initiated during the bush administration has had an enormous impact on al-qaeda's ability to function. we're not near victory yet. i'm not one of those people who say we are almost there, we can see it, we have a ways to go, unfortunately. that decision to increase, since president obama took over to increase the number of drone strikes that campaign has been incredibleably important. and understanding how important it is to -- to secure this intel flow. this ability to get information moving around the system, still with protections of sources and methods. that has to be a concern. >> mike baker, thank you. >> thank you. turning destruction of ground zero into a place for

nature and reflection, a place of beauty. we talk to the man who designed it. he will tell us what to look for, when we visit, next. sweetie i think you need a little extra fiber in your diet. carol. fiber makes me sad. oh common. and how can you talk to me about fiber while you are eating a candy bar? you enjoy that. i am.

>> i would tell them to look for the three metaphors that are in there. the earth, sadness, loss, maybe death, the trees are the metaphor for life. we are trying to balance those three so you get a sequence of them. when you walk in the trees will separate from you the city. you will go underneath the trees that will be solid. then you go go not void, you will see the depth and the metaphor, for loss. you turn around and as you are walking out the trees will become the metaphor for life. it is that promenade, which is important. >> those are special trees. >> yes. they are oaks, very few trees you can plant in new york right now, because new york is very difficult on trees. these white oaks, one of the few trees that are disease-free in new york now have been planted in a very

complex system, below. which saves the water, a completely sustainable system. all the water that falls on to the plaza and is picked up in the drains, and the snowmelt, will go down seven stories below to 250,000 gallon tanks. they will sit in those tanks until the dry season comes. they will be pumped back up then the trees and lawns will be regenerated by the water we've saved. >> that is incredible technology. >> probably the largest project like that, certainly in new york, maybe the world. >> you said new york is hard on trees. new york is hard on people sometimes as well. where did this idea come from? what do you want new yorkers or any american or anybody around the world that will visit, what do you want them to gather from it? >> well, i want to set the memorial in a quiet, elegant,

simple, seemingly simming setting. i want you to be able to concentrate on the water falls and the names. then i want you to use the whole thing as a park this is a park for the people who live around here this is the most dense neighborhood, certainly in america, maybe except for hong kong on the wore. these people have to have a place to -- in the word. these people have to have a place to go. that's what the mayor asked us for, without compromising either to accomplish both. >> i can share with our viewers taking about a 9/11 and hearing the waterfalls is soothing, as we hear the names of those lost. we thank you forgiving us that inside track and thank you for the memorial. >> thank you for having me. we are going to be talking live to the associated press photographer who captured one of the most iconic images of
