4:04 pm
zazi was intent to making a bomb and he planned on attacking on september 11th before he knew the feds were on to him. >> they have not uncovered any of the actual bomb making materials that he was going to use in the alleged plot. but he had nine pages of bomb making instructions in his possession with his fingerprints on them and had every intention of causing serious harm. he is suspected on the verge of setting off a terrorist attack. investigators swooped in on him as e-mail dispatches looking for the right bomb making recipe became more and more urgent. you can see zazi from a beauty supply warehouse in denver, colorado where they allege he purchased some of the chemicals in question, in large quantities
4:05 pm
hydrogen peroxide and a strong acid. shown here arriving back heater east coast he was officially indicted and conspiring to use weapons of mass destruction in a plot that was aimed at commuter trains. prosecutors say the 24-year-old had received explosives training from al-qaeda in pakistan and was going to use that training here on u.s. soil. there is another chilling part to this case. investigators don't think he was acting alone and still searching for those who he was working with to put the bombing plot in motion. experts say it won't be easily spotted. >> we won't find most likely the type of perpetrators who came on 9/11, the mohammad attas. we are going to find and mostly look at the previous three cases american born. some have converted and then became al-qaeda supporters. >> reporter: zazi is scheduled to be arraigned on tuesday. search for accomplices continues
4:06 pm
and terrorism warnings have been issued for sports complexes and transit sfisz all around new york. >> julie: from new york to dallas the scene of another alleged terror plot. involving a teenager, a judge ruled that he must remain behind bars. he has been under intense f.b.i. surveillance. they busted him after he placed an inactive car bomb at a skyscraper a decoy bomb that was begin to him by undercover agents. his neighbors say they are stunned saying he was a kind guy who enjoyed dancing to tech music. he faces life in prison. >> gregg: and intended targets alleged plot in illinois. agents nabbing michael fenton on wednesday. there he is. the feds say he tried to blow up
4:07 pm
a van that was believed to be, he thought at least, had explosives, very close to the paul finley federal building. he had been working with an undercover f.b.i. agent, little did he know. the he says he is incredibly grateful to the f.b.i. for their fine work. >> julie: for the first time the white house now backing off the own deadline to close the military brings in guantanamo cuba. after months calling for the camp to close by january 2010. that is right around the corner. what is the delay? caroline has the story. >> white house officials say it's inevitable that guantanamo bay will stay open after the january deadline because of legal problems and other hurdles. this is the first time the white house has admitted the timetable needs to slide. pledge to shut down guantanamo
4:08 pm
in one year was one of the president's first acts in office and was a lightning rod for criticism around the world. some members of the congress warned of problems when he made that pledge. they are establishing new set of rules for military trials, to release them in u.s. cities and take them to the u.s. what prison will house them? many members of congress are strongly against terrorists being held on u.s. soil. mitch mcconnell released this statement. eight months after he signed the executive order for the clear -- federal judges have ordered 30 detainees released but they have transferred 14 on other nations because in the can't find any takers. >> gregg: difficult issues may force the president to force his
4:09 pm
vow closing gitmo. the president going so far as to sign in a big ceremony the executive order to close it within a year. its pledge he reiterated and his treasury-secretary robert gibbs. >> guantanamo will be closed no later than one year from now. >> that is why i ordered the closing of guantanamo bay and will seek swift and certain justice for captured terrorists. >> i ordered it closed within one year. >> the president intends to maintain and keep his commitment to close guantanamo in a year. >> gregg: so what does this mean for the administration's plans to fight terrorism going forward? what does it mean for the president politically. joining us is political analyst juan williams. juan, great to see you. i think it's fair to say this is embarrassing to the president.
4:10 pm
who blew it here, other than the president? >> the white house counsel gregg craig was put in charge initially. he was wouldn't who said, oh yeah, by january it could be closed. what happened in fairness to gregg craig that the records that should have been available with the evidence in the cases against each of these detainees was scattered and they didn't have it one place. they have it in one place and supposed to make a decision whether to prosecute each of these folks by mid-november. they are on track because they stepped up the effort. at the white house they have taken much of that responsibility away from gregg craig. >> gregg: look, in a broader sense, was candidate barack obama a little naive to assume that this was a problem that could be solved easily, almost waving a magic wand? or was this the typical campaign
4:11 pm
promise, an empty promise and gee i worry about the promise if and when i'm elected? >> i think you characterized it rightly. there was a great deal of impatience with guantanamo because it was a lightning rod for criticism of the bush administration. evidence that the united states was not living up to the ideals, giving people access to courts, not living up to geneva convention. the argument that these are not state actors but terrorists. barack obama went beyond other candidates for the nomination saying he wanted guantanamo shut down right away. he reiterated now and set the deadline. it is an embarrassment and it's why rahm emanuel and other players feel they have got to meet that deadline, they have to make progress on the 225 or so detainees that are still there that julie talked about, they
4:12 pm
have to get those folks somehow in place by january otherwise republicans are going to be all over them. >> gregg: it's not just republicans. it's going to alienate his liberal base that is going to be angry this is an issue that was utmost important to them. a delay is not going to mull my them and you have democrats not just other democrats who held up the funding for closing gitmo because they are not sure about this plan, they want more details? >> right, but what i was is that republicans made it from the time in january that was a ridiculous day. we didn't know how to deal with the detainees, we don't know who can be tried, we don't know the rules to be set, how to try them whether it's going to be military tribunals or u.s. courts. we haven't even made a decision
4:13 pm
where to jail them. fort leavenworth, we don't know yet and here we are in late september. republicans are saying what if they are found innocent, you are going release them into the u.s. your point about the left is interesting. just this week there has been all this talk whether to continue, expand the patriot act and you heard the obama administration saying yes. that upset the left and if there is delay in closing guantanamo, that, too, will upset the left. >> it's not just the patriot act but president obama has adopted many of the positions of the previous administration during the campaign. he ripped in to them for things like wiretaps. now he has embraced a lot of that. at one point in time, i added up roughly 8 important positions he has adopted from the bush administration that he had previously as a candidate criticized.
4:14 pm
that is angering the left too, isn't it? >> it's unsettling especially to the civil libertarians that were concerned about the patriot act. you can go through the list it's interesting. clearly this administration is sensitive they have to protect the home front no matter what. they are not going to concede points in terms of civil liberties that might result in failure by the f.b.i. or any of the other agencies to detect a possible terror plot against the u.s. i think the civil libertarians had thought the bush people overreached, in many cases, the obama administration says no, and the answer they were taking necessary precautions. >> isn't it interesting how things change once you hit the oval office. >> once you have the responsibility on your head, different story. >> gregg: it's good to see you. thanks so much, juan,.
4:15 pm
>> julie: it may be sometime before flood victims in parts of the country get any relief. folks around atlanta, georgia are bracing for more storms this weekend just as they are recovering from as much as 20 inches of rainfall in recent days. the national weather service issuing new warnings the ground is so saturated there, even normal rainfall may set off more flooding. so what is next for the southeast. mary with accu-weather is live with the latest. >> they have been pounded with rain since last weekend so no doubt about it. it still has stormy conditions and all the way through south texas to mid-atlantic, soaking rain across east tennessee, good news, there is good news but a line of heavy thunderstorms now crossing through birmingham and
4:16 pm
atlanta and georgia and moving toward the coast. we do expect some relief for folks trying to get back to normal. high pressure building on in, usher in drier air across birmingham and montgomery but there is still scattered showers and thunderstorms around the carolina coast. as far as rainfall totals, heaviest north of areas of georgia. isolated pockets across the northern parts and parts of alabama. heaviest is going to be track across the mid-atlantic states. >> gregg: been called the most dangerous terror plot since 9/11 fortunately his scheme was busted up before danger struck. could danger still be luishg lurk go we'll be talking to a congressman, next. my doctor told me something i never knew.
4:17 pm

4:19 pm
4:20 pm
>> gregg: friends and family holding funeral services for annie le. remembering her as, quote kind-hearted human being, sacrificing her time to help
4:21 pm
others. the burial is close to her home in eldorado hills, california and pastor of her church in her achievements, her interest in medical research reflected her deep desire to serve other people as much as she could. >> julie: dallas, "new york times," quantico, virginia, springfield, illinois we found that all were targets of alleged terror plots. from the looks of it the feds may be doing really good work. how concerned do we need to be that other terror plots are being planned right now as i speak in the country? let's bring in texas congressman lamar smith. congressman, thank you for talking to us. if it hadn't for the patriot act we would be talking about the 9/11, 2009 terror attacks right now, isn't it. >> right, that is certainly
4:22 pm
true. there have been four terrorist attacks that have been disrupted by the f.b.i. in the last week and last several years, over 400 people killed around the world by terrorists. the problem is that the terrorists have to be successful one time and americans are going to lose their lives. law enforcement has to be right every single time. one of the tools they use to great advantage is the patriot act, particularly the surveillance in that patriot act. unfortunately it's now scheduled to expire at the end of the year three months away. congress needs to reauthorize that and are continued. >> julie:end of 2009, there were three key national security provisions, they are set to expire. one of them surveillance such as wiretapping which obviously just proved to work to prevent terrorism. so then why would some in congress consider allowing these surveillance authorities to
4:23 pm
expire? >> the surveillance that we're talking about here that worked so well is a wiretap authority that goes with the individual, it's not specific device, not just for one cell phone, it's for any cell phone they may use or any type of communication they use. it's used in other forms of crimes but it needs to be used for terrorist acts. there are some in congress but we absolutely have to have it. no too long ago the f.b.i. director testified and endorsed those provisions. we need those surveillance tools for the f.b.i. and for other law enforcement officials to be able to use in the future if we're going to stop these kinds of terrorist attacks. >> julie: those that tipped off zazi and made the phone call saying the f.b.i. had been on to him, that would not have been tapped without the patriot act. so without the patriot act americans are not as safe. this past week we've proven time
4:24 pm
and time again, we can't live safely without it. another tool i want to talk about, allows investigators to obtain a business and personal records of terror suspects. what if -- i want to say what if investigators weren't able to obtain zazi receipts that he was able to purchase explosives at hardware store. how much harder would it have been? >> if we did not have those provisions, rolling wiretaps and to get to the business and personal records of would be terrorists we would not be able to stop terrorist attacks. that records provision that we need literally allows you go to a hardware store and sea what the individual bought. you need those bits of information if you are going to build a case, stop a plot or stop a terrorist attack. i can't tell you why congress seems to be dragging its feet. i'm hoping that the democratic
4:25 pm
leaders will take it seriously. congress is supposed to adjourn the next month or two. we need the patriot act to be continued. >> julie: clearly there are plenty of terrorists on the streets wanting to harm americans. according to data from the police, one in seven have returned to terrorist activities. president obama wants to release hundreds of the worst of the worst. this is a decision that you hope he planned on taking back because if he closes gitmo, what happens to all those terrorists. he joins those ones that are in queens and texas and illinois? >> i've been to gitmo. its first class facility. that is where we need them to stay. there is no good reason to release any terrorists or would be terrorists there. if you transfer them to other countries there is no certainty that those countries are going to dwayne those individuals. that is their division. so other countries can release those people and back in the battlefield, one out of seven, perhaps more. there is no good reason to
4:26 pm
transfer them to the united states the minute they set foot on u.s. soil they are entitled to privileges of the citizens. they need to stay in cuba in an american prison and also the safest place to be if you want to save american lives. >> julie: congressman, thank you very much for talking to us. >> gregg: days after president obama called iran to task for building a secret nuclear facility, iran's president claims no international laws were ever broken going as for far to invite the nuclear watchdog agency to take a look at the site. can we say iran was caught red-handed. how easily could they cover up evidence of a nuclear weapons program. answers coming up in just three minutes.
4:27 pm

some people like to pretend... a flood could never happen to them... and that their homeowners insurance... protects them. it doesn't. stop pretending. it can happen to you. protect your home with flood insurance. call the number on your screen... for your free brochure.
4:30 pm
>> julie: it's the bottom of the hour and time for the top of
4:31 pm
news, more problems for people in georgia, they are getting slammed. look at all that water. some places getting six inches of rain alone and flash flood warnings are in effect and another two inches may fall before the new storm passes through. >> gregg: relief for residents in california's ventura county. firefighters reporting that 27 square mile wild fire is fully contained. it begin tuesday and was fanned across rugged hillsides by santa ana winds. >> julie: funeral near sacramento for student annie le. the she will be buried in the sierra foothills. they discovered her body in a research lab in what was supposed to be her wedding day. a yale technician has been charged with her murs murd. >> gregg: iran announcing that the united nations watchdog group will be allowed to visit
4:32 pm
the newly revealed uranium facility claiming there is nothing secret about it. but how easily it would be to hide things from inspectors. injecting on the telephone is a former deputy assistant administrator at national security administration and now with monterey international studies. mr. specter, thank you for being with us. according to experts, the size of this secret plant is too small for any commercial use but it's the perfect size for making nuclear bomb fuel. is it pretty obvious to you that is what they were up to? >> it is obvious. this has 3,000 center fugitives and it was intended for different purpose. >> iranians say they will allow
4:33 pm
the inspectors to visit the site. do you think in the end they will let the inspectors in and will such inspections will it prevent them from making weapons grade ui rain ra yum? >> they have let them in other enrichment plants. think for a while, these sites will be safe but you accumulate the partially enriched uranium that could be enriched further by either of these frafls if they dropped out of the non-proliferation treaty. there may be other secret sites. >> gregg: that is what i wanted to ask you about. the iranians for forced to disclose the secret facility because western intelligence discovered it, which invites the question -- do you think there are other facilities that are intel has yet to detect? >> i don't know what we have
4:34 pm
detected but i suspect there definitely are other facilities. for example a uranium enrichment plant needs feed stock and the only they have under inspection so there must be a secret feed stock plant that has been supporting the plant. so think there is more out there and probably locations where they are doing research or previously did reach on making the bomb itself. >> gregg: how far away do you think they are from developing a nuclear weapon? >> i think the general view is one to three years. we don't know if they have the design just right and maybe more work is needed there. they may take the partially enriched uranium and upgrade it so there is a bunch of steps they have to take. they want to make warheads for missile. so the worst is not going to
4:35 pm
happen tomorrow but the trend is very disturbing especially when one secret plant after another is being discovered. >> gregg: do you think this experience is giving the new administration a wake-up call, a case of for real that you can't trust the iranians. you can't make terrorist regimes your friends? >> i think there is no question about it. i must say that obama from the beginning was putting some deadlines on how long he was going to be prepared to owner. i think they have been pretty sober about this. they have opened a crack to direct negotiations. trying to line of sanctions is definitely in the right direction. >> gregg: leonard specter, thanks for being with us. >> julie: a new airline policy will make travel plans a bit more expensive. get ready for more fees. some of the largest carriers announcing a new charge for passengers flying on the busiest days of the year, but there is also a silver lining to air
4:36 pm
travel these days. some fees are going up so are apparently positive customer service reports. joining me now is the founder and ceo of the powell financial group, patricia powell. first i want to go to the poor economy making the friendlier skies friendlier. what is that all about? >> there is good news. planes are flying more on time this year than they were last year and not by a little bit. the on-time of all-american earn planes have gone up 35%. that is a pretty big deal. if you are lucky enough to flying hawaiian air, they are up 89% as an on time rate. you get to fly around paradise and on time. >> julie: what if you plan on flying on the holidays. i have a flight around christmas or thanksgiving or hanukkah. you should expect to feel the sting of a new ten dollar fee but some of the busiest days of the season. what is that all about?
4:37 pm
>> they are right around the holidays, certainly as you are approaching thanksgiving and christmas. they are looking for ways to sneak in price increases on you. we think the banks are bad, the airlines are the masters of it. you are not only going to get the fee for the extra bag and fuel surcharge, now we have charges for flying at peak times but charges for things like, you want an i'll seat, a blanket a pillow, you want a snack. the airlines are looking for any way to raise revenue in a period they are flying fewer planes and passengers. >> julie: we're going to pay more money to fly in an aisle seat? >> they have initiated or window seat surcharge. >> julie: you have to be kidding me. >> i hope you light that middle seat. >> is there one person that likes the middle seat? why would you want the middle seat?
4:38 pm
-- oh, no. no, that is not fair and extra bag thing is ridiculous, who travels lightly these days. if you want to save money,. >> julie: who travels with one bag. you have to pay for a second bag. i would rather drive or take a train. >> if you are trying to save money, you try pack your own pillow and blankets. whatever you try to do you are going to get some kind of fee. >> julie: you can't go through security with food. >> you bring an empty bottle. >> julie: buy it at the gate and pay it off. what happens when the economy gets better, does that mean service is going down? >> that is a really great question. one would hope not. you would have to think they are
4:39 pm
going to try to keep the fees on and they are going to try and do it at lesser cost to the airline and this is one of those good news, bad news stories and one can only hope for the best. >> julie: i would rather not fly. it sounds like a hassle. >> gregg: you fly everything first class. >> julie: i get to sit next to you, first class. >> gregg: third class. i get stuck between 300 pound linebackers and i feel like a little sardine. >> you were one of those linebackers and it wasn't muscle. sorry. >> gregg: a pretty creepy discovery in miami, literally not far from the natural habitat but in danger of a bunch of a little critters.
4:40 pm
a lot of folks were worried. you and your tasty whole grain. this can only end one way. (crunch) wheat thins. toasted. whole grain. crunch. have at it.

4:43 pm
4:44 pm
>> julie: there is someone new in the school yard and they aren't playing nice. miami-dade fire rescue unit making a big catch. they snagged a four and a half foot red tailed boa constrictor. it was outside an elementary school. it's still pretty dangerous. they were worried that students, they might have been tempted to touch the animal. they remind snake owners it's illegal to release snakes into the wild. >> gregg: i don't like snakes. >> julie: i had a friend that had a snake when i was a kid and they fed it bunny rabbits. >> gregg: i'm sure peta would object to that. >> julie: it was disgusting. >> giving back men and women sacrificing one organization,
4:45 pm
but now they are helping wounded veterans overcome their disabilities and enjoying the simple pleasures of life. they call it rise and conquer. marion, this is terrific, explain what activities they are offering to these veterans. >> there are 30 injured veterans. they are from all parts of the country, 15 states, a lot of them brought their families and a lot of them for the very first time are doing things they thought they could never do again. water skiing, shooting weapons at targets. kayaking, paint ball and doing all these fun activities and really push themselves and see what they are able to do. a lot of them said they are learning more about what they can and can't do. some of them have pretty severe injuries, amputations and vision impairment. a veteran that lost his right eye in fighting in iraq.
4:46 pm
he had to learn how to shoot left-handed right-handed because he lost his right eye. incredible stories about what they can still do and having a good time doing it. >> gregg: look at some of the pictures, people water skiing, explain why this is so important for these servicemen and women and by the way, is this is the first activity that they have participated in outside of rehab? >> now, for some of them, this is the first real activity they've done. a lot of them they didn't think they could do it. some of them can sit down to water ski so even if they are in wheelchair or paralyzed they can enjoy some of these activities they never thought they could do before. this is about getting them back out there and trying to reclaim a quality of life. this is just an event that can show them that is still possible.
4:47 pm
they can do some of the things they enjoyed before. some of them, they said yes, this was the first time they picked up a weapon since they were in military. >> julie: just over one week from now the first of those h1n1 vaccines could be available but what do you need to know before you take it? and are there any last minute concerns? we're going to talk to a doctor live next. businesses more efficiently,
4:48 pm
so we've brought in a team of experts to help. one suggestion is to make your shipping more efficient with priority mail flat rate boxes from the postal service. call or go online for a free supply and up to $160 in offers from authorized postage vendors. shipping's a hassle! weighing every box... actually, with flat rate boxes you don't need to weigh anything under 70 pounds. if it fits, it ships for a low flat rate. ok, but i ship all over the country. you can ship anywhere in the country for a low flat rate. ship international, too. yes, but i ship hundreds of things, in all sizes. great, because flat rate boxes come in four sizes. call and we'll send a free supply, plus up to $160 in offers. when you're ready to ship, we'll even pick them up for free, no matter how many you have. priority mail flat rate boxes only from the postal service.
4:49 pm
4:50 pm
4:51 pm
>> julie: time for a check on the headlines, iran is saying the inspectors from the nuclear watchdog agency will be allowed into the newly revealed facility. what the nuclear chief is not saying exactly when. white house says the prison at guantanamo bay may remain open after the january deadline. new rules for military trials and relocating prisoners remain unsolved. august was the deadliest month for civilians in the afghanistan war. the report saying taliban attacks leading up to the presidential election there. >> gregg: government health leaders say swine flu vaccinations are just around the corner. in fact, six to seven million nasal doses in the first batch
4:52 pm
are due to arrive on october 5th followed by 40 million more doses just weeks later. top priority will go to pregnant women and children. >> julie: why are you pointing to me because i'm not a child. are the states ready to meet the demand? new. >> as americans are ready to wage war against the virus. joined by dr. mark siegle. the second wave of h1n1 flu is setting in. the heaviest in 26 states, are we prepared and what is being done last minute to get prepared in order to be ready for d-day which is right around the corner? >> first of all, we're not prepared. unfortunately we don't have the surge capacity in hospitals which means if you are out there with a mild symptoms, that is wrong thing to do because it will swamp your hospital.
4:53 pm
call your doctor's office because they won't be able to take care of other patients. call your doctor if you are sick. don't go to the hospital. we have the vaccine coming up. i want everybody to know it's a mild flu. it went through the southern hemisphere. what happened in their winter? it was mild. there has only been 9,000 hospitalizations in the u.s. but it's unpredictable flu. you don't know who is going to get sick. the chronic conditioning you could say you are healthy but someone in your house has asthma. so the more people we immunize the better. good news it's only going to take one shot. you are only going to need one shot if you are more than two to three years old. i'm very happy about that. we're going to have 250 million doses. we're going to be able to vaccinate almost everybody in
4:54 pm
the country. >> gregg: and we have distribution capabilities to handle this all at once? >> not all at once. the inhaled doses, 6 million is very little. 6 million doses is a very small amount plus we can't keep with people with asthma or chronic illnesses. the one you inject that is coming a few weeks later that is a dead virus. you can't get the flu from that. that is the one we're going to target people with. >> you can't do this if you have asthma? >> you can get a flu shot but you can't use the inhaled version. i don't want people that are pregnant to use the inhaled version. that is for people that are totally healthy. >> gregg: i talked to doctors and they all recommend getting the h1n1 flu shot except for one. an expert out of los angeles. he has reservations about it, do you? >> no. there has been 24 clinical
4:55 pm
