2:21 am
to reconsider is our views on president assad. our policy has been, he has to go, that stability in syria is not possible as long as he's at the helm. but he may also -- he is ceceainly part of the problem but he may be part of thth solution here the way the russians and iranians think about it. that's number one. number two, we might need to think about taking more risks on the battlefield. not necessarily putting americans in combat but putting them in forward positions supporting others in combat, calling in air strikes, for example. different things we should be looking at. >> under a potential scenario of the u.s. workrkg with the syrian army, that is a dramatic and serious change in strategy. >> yes, itould be. it's been discussed before. we've always ended up with, no, our policy is that he needs to go, then we'll work with a new government. but what's happened in the last two weeks, the bringing down of the airliner, the directed attack in paris, unprecededeed. itit time to think about a new approach.
2:22 am
why is isis so interested in launching attacks in the west at this point? >> two reasons. the first is they want to go after countries who are part of the coalition attacking them in iraq and syria. they're trying to change the political dialogue in those countries. theyeye having just the opposite effect as we've sese today. the french attacking isis positions in syria. the second is they want groups, extremist groups in other countries, to follow them, take on their mantle, take on their objective, which is to form a global caliphate. >> this is not less focused on the caliphate, in fact these attacks outstse reflects more? >> exactly, global caliphate. >> thank you very y ch. >> you're welce. isis has promised more attacks but the white house says so far there is no specific or credible threat to the u.s. >> reporter: it's still the regular season. but on sunday there was near super bowl-level security at nfl stadiums across the country.

2:25 am
>> it's caused a huge, huge blind spot for intelligence agencies and law enforcement to actually get insight to what they're doing. >eporter: often even the app makers c c't get the data becaususmessages self-destruct or the encryption key constantly changes. new york city police commissioner bill bratton -- >> these apps, these devices that now allow these terrorists to operate effectively without fear of penetration by intelligence services, this is the first example of this. >> reporter: in brussels, searching for accomplicece investigators reportedlyly discovered a playstation 4. belgian leaders say communications on the gaming console are also difficult to monitor. >> it's a huge, huge problem. the social media recruitment, social media radicalization, then they'll go off those social media platforms into encrypted platforms to have further conversations about travel, about if you can't travel take action against your own country. >> reporter: and isis is already
2:26 am
using the paris attacks to build its brands online. >> this event is similar to the events of 9/11 in terms of the game-changing aspect of it. >> reporter: if you think the dark apps are just the domain of terrorists, think again. medical and legal prpressionals use them to keep your information private. british intelligence reportedly uses them for its own communication. jeff? >> contessa, thank you very much. an american college student was killed in the attacks while having dinner with friends. her story.
