7:00 am
good morning. it is thursday, september 11th, 2014. welcome to "cbs this morning." president obama vows to degrade and destroy isis. we'll ask cia insider mike morell if the plan can work. new accusations the nfl received a copy of the ray rice video months ago. we'll hear from the reporter who broke the story. and on the anniversary of 9/11, john miller and his boss return to studio 57.
7:01 am
but we begin this morning with a look at today's "eye opener," your world in 90 seconds. >> i will not hesitate to take action in syria and iraq. you will find no safe haven. >> the president lays out his strategy to fight isis. >> the plan is to deploy them to ir iraq. >> my copy of the constitution says congress has the authority to declare war. >> they have hired mike morell. >> this follows an "associated press" report saying a copy of the video showing rice punching his then fiancee was sent to the nfl in april. >> the 13th anniversary of 9/11. a ceremony at the world trade center in new york. president obama with a ceremony at the pentagon. >> in pennsylvania, flight 93 also being remembered. the south african judge in
7:02 am
the oscar pistorius trial says the -- >> not guilty to the second count of murder. a stormy night for millions across parts of the midwest with dangerous floods and fierce winds. >> the drive over this truck may be facing charges after driving through the doors of the stratosphere casino. >> mike tyson. >> launched a tirade after they brought up his rape conviction. >> what is ththere's a bat flyi us. seriously. we're all jumping around. >> and all that matters. >> his name is jauss. he kills people. >> we say good-bye to richard kiel. >> he's passed away. >> here's to us. >> the dalai lama made a huge announcement. we need no future dalai lama. he then dropped the karma and
7:03 am
walked offstage. >> announcer: this morning's "eye opener" is presented by toyota. let's go places. captioning funded by cbs the ravens will host the steelers. hanging over tonight's game a big development. sharyn alfonsi, james brown and phil simms will all be with us here this morning. >> but first big developments in the case of blade runner oscar pistorius, the double amputee the olympic sprinter is clear of all murder charges. debora patta has been in the courtroom, she joins us now from pre to pretoria, south africa. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the judge had harsh words for oscar pistorius. she said he was a pro witness who was often untruthful but she stressed the intention to shoot did not necessarily mean
7:04 am
intention to kill. >> the state clearly has not proved beyond a reasonable doubt that the accused is guilty of premeditated murder. >> reporter: the whole point of this case is whether the judge believes oscar pistorius's girlfriend that he shot her accidentally or if it was premeditated murder. the judge said the state did not provide enough evidence. >> the accused, therefore, cannot be found guilty of murder. that, however, is not the end of the matter as culpable homicide is a comparable verdict. >> after the reading of the verdict oscar pistorius broke down sobbing uncontrollably
7:05 am
through the lunch break. >> we'll talk about the verdict and what oscar could still face. that's ahead. president obama promised his administration will defeat any isis threat to the united states. in his address last night he said american warplanes will expand a bombing cam bane into syria for the first time. bill plante is at the white house. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the president wanted to demonstrate to the nation he has a plan to destroy the terrorist group in syria as well as in iraq. senior officials tell us that air strikes against them will begin as soon as intelligence identifies targets. >> i will not hesitate to take action against isil in syria as well as iraq. this is the core principle of my presidency. if you threaten america, you will find no safe haven. >> the president said his battle
7:06 am
plan includes the expansion of air strikes, an increase in support for partner forces on the grounld, counter-efforts an humanitarian support for victims of isis attacks. but he insisted the u.s. will not go it alone. >> america will lead a broad coalition to roll back this terrorist threat. already allies are flying planes with us over iraq, sending arms and assistance to iraqi's security forces and opposition. sharing intelligence and providing billions of dollars in humanitarian aid. >> 475,000 will be going bringing the total number of u.s. troops there to more than 1,600. the president again promised no combat u.s. troops will be on the ground. air strikes will support iraqi
7:07 am
forces and the new iraqi formed government. >> we cannot do for iraqis what they can do for themselves. >> the president called on congress to authorize training and funding to support moderate syrian forces. >> i think that this should have been done obviously much more aggressively from the beginning. >> new hampshire republican kelly ayotte was among those skeptical. >> because often he's given speeches, but following up on the actions that need to be taken against this dangerous group i think is what is going to measure what he said today and in the following days. >> the administration officials say the president does not need any additional authorization to take the fight to isis, that it can rely on existing law, but he does need congress to vote on funds to train syrian forces. the speech was in answer to the critics who say he hasn't acted
7:08 am
firmly enough or soon enough. >> mike morell is with us from aspen, colorado. he is a former iowa deputy director and was in a meeting with president obama about the isis threat. mike, good morning. >> good morning, charlie. >> what has to happen for the president's plan to degrade and destroy isis to make it work? >> so on the iraqi side of the border, charlie, i'm confident that we're going to be able to roll them back. what gives me that confidence is a new political deal that the united states deserves a lot of credit for, putting military advisers in to assist the iraqi army and the kurdish army and broader u.s. air strikes. i think all of those together will make a big difference in iraq. it's the serious side of the border that i'm worried about. we're going to double down.
7:09 am
we're going go all in with the syrian opposition and that's how we're going to try to win this thing, but the syrian opposition is a very weak group. they're much weaker than they were two years ago. this is the long pole in the tent. >> is that what we're going to have to have, go into syria? >> i think so unless you go with assad who butchered his own people. i think that's the best thing. >> the president said some have joined isis and could come home and try to carry out take. it's 9/11. how worried should we be here at home. >> intelligence does not give you a 100% clear picture into the plotting that a terrorist
7:10 am
group is doing, so the fact that we don't have credible reporting on the threat doesn't give me a lot of comfort. the fact that they have the capability to send fighters here and that they want to send fighters here is what should worry us. i think the threat of a foreign fighter coming here and doing something is real. >> mike, the president's been meeting with some columnists yesterday and earlier with intelligence officials like you. what has he been trying to accomplish, as far as you know, in these meetings. >> so i don't want to talk about the specifics. i don't think that's appropriate. i will say two things, charlie. one is he laid out his thinking. he laid out his policy. and he invited comments including critiques and i think he was really open to trying to think about ways to improve his chances of success here. the second thing i would say there were a lot of very senior
7:11 am
former officials in the room. there were differences of opinion on how to handle this because of the complexity. and i think that was the consensus. >> mike, thank you very much. of course, on the 9/11 anniversary, he said there's no plans of attacking the united states. bob orr has more. good morning. >> good morning. in an interview with headquarters director john brennan told us isis is a terror group in his words with blood in its eyes. he called it's ville, incarnate and a cancer that must be eliminated before they have the plan to carry out the threat on its home land. they've established an islamic cal fat, straddling parts of iraq and syria. >> this group, the islamic state of iraq and levant, is not islamic, first of all, and it is
7:12 am
-- the cal fat that it's declared is a fraudulent one. it is not representative of the muslims in the area there at all. the sunni and shiite muslims as well as others who have felt the violence of isil are determined to tear it apart, so i stand by my assertion that that type of extremist cal fat islamists is absurd. >> isis says they're an islamic state. do you buy that? >> nobody declares that. they've now garnered the attention of the world and the united states. >> brennan says the u.s. and its allies will use a robust intelligence effort to find and target isis leasers like baghdadi. brennan cautioned it could take a number of years to carry out the pledge and destroy the terrorist group.
7:13 am
he also worned there are ore al qaeda groups in syria and yemen still plotting to aim attacks at the homeland. >> bob, thanks. minutes ago the pentagon unfurled the american flag. this morning they'll honor the victims from the 9/11 attacks. >> a moment of silence will be observed at 8:46 eastern, 7:46 central. that's when the world trade center was struck. we'll bring you a moment of silence live and shanksville, pennsylvania, will hold a anniversary for flight 93. that jet crashed on 9/11 as passengers fought with hijackers on board. this morning the nfl is asking a former fbi director to investigate the controversy. it will be at the request of commissioner roger goodell. a new report claims five months
7:14 am
ago the league receive add video showing the all pro punching his future wife. goodell denied that in his interview on tuesday. so did anyone in the nfl see this second videotape before monday? >> no. >> no one in the nfl. >> no one in the nfl to my knowledge and i've been asked the same question and the answer to that is no. we were not grachnted that. we were told that was not something we would have access to. on multiple occasions we asked for it and on multiple occasions we were told no. >> you know people are saying they don't buy that, that the nfl hadn't seen the tape. >> that's a fact. i think it's fact because the criminal justice system and law enforcement were following the laws and doing what they needed to do to make sure they followed the criminal activity. this is an ongoing criminal investigation and i think they were doing what they do. we are ckey operative and
7:15 am
supportive. we can't force them to provide any information. sharon is at the stadium. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. a law enforcement official claimed he sent a dvd to nfl headquarters back in april even though he wasn't authorized to share the video. the official claimed he did so anyway in the hopes that the league would see it before rice was punished. this late investigation shows it. they had the video five months. a reporter said he listened to a voice mail on april 9let confirming the dvd arrived at headquarters in new york. >> it came from a league office.
7:16 am
the voice is from am unfeed woman saying she received the e-mail, thanking the law enforcement official for sending it, telling him it's right, it's horrible. >> reporter: but the ap source cannot say whether they watched the video because they had no other contact with the league until after he arrived. >> i have complete dents in my source. he's very credible. this is a story we worked on for days and long hours and this is not something we would go with unless we were rock solid sure that this was a credible source. >> an nfl spokesman questions the accuracy of the ap report saying we are not aware of anyone in our office who possessed or saw the video before it was made public on monday. we will look into it. anger toward the nfl grew more intense on wednesday. members of congress are now openly questioning goodell's
7:17 am
leadership. >> if there is information that does come out that shows he had access to the situation, i think it puts at risk the current job that he has. >> the national organization for women is calling for good gel to step down. >> we need someone to go in there rngs do a top to bottom review that will really have teeth so the nfl can be about football again and not about trark women. >> they will have the full cooperation of the nfl and access to all league records but it will be overseen by two nfl owners, jeanmar rah of the new york giants and art rooney of the pittsburgh steelers. >> john rhoden is with us again this morning, welcome. >> you can't make it up, man. >> so we have this a.p. report. >> yes. >> what's the impact of that?
7:18 am
>> there are a couple of things. number one, i always maintained if it comes out that roger goodell knew or his office, he would have to step down. >> if he didn't know but the office did, he'll have to step down. >> somebody will have to take a hit on this. probably not him but somebody. the second thing is it has implications in terms of rice. if, in fact, they saw this tape and they gave him two games, now you can't come back, you know, and just for public show. say now we're going to suspend you and ryan your life. there are a lot of consequences to this. >> let's be clear. the "associated press" report quotes an official saying this tape was delivered. and, of course, there's a voice mail. it does not indicate whether a videotape was seen.
7:19 am
he said if there was a delivery found under the desk there will be consequences. how will they know if that tape ended up in their offices? >> we keep coming back to incompetence. you know, everybody -- the nfl league sets the standard, the security. i mean that's what they're known for is great security department. so to come and say you had this kind of basic gaffe is basically indefensible. like we sachltd you can't have it both ways and now you're having to bring in a, quote/unquote independent investigator, that they're paying you. >> at some point they're going to have to make a decision about what you knew or should have known. >> absolutely. >> it's 7:19. ahead on "cbs this morning," the fda says y yes

7:33 am
as isis is gaining ground it's adding to its enormous wealth. wine andrews has more on how isis's finances have spiked. good morning. >> good morning. they've grown far richer and more organized than al qaeda ever dreamed. it involves oil and gas. the idea is to steal it and then trade it. after isis expanded into northern iraq, sources say its earnings from oil and gas reached roughly $3 million a day by selling on the black market for cash. former u.s. intelligence analyst says energy profits give isis its edge. >> we've heard isis described as the wealthiest terror group ever. do you see them that way? >> that's absolutely right. isis is worth hundreds of millions of dollars. >> these photos taken from an
7:34 am
isis social media page shows some of the cash. drown in your envy, hypocrites he posted in russian, the caliphate is getting richer. isis is also getting rich through crime, looting buildings, extorting businesses and taking money. they're taken private donations to the groups from the citizens of gulf countries like saudi arabia, kuwait, and qatar. on this web posting a saudi sheikh says do jihad with your money. for 100 kuwaiti dinars. but the gulf states have internal reasons for allowing the donations to continue. >> in kuwait, some of the terrorist fund-raisers are very powerful and popular and the
7:35 am
government is very concerned about upsetting this domestic con stinltd yhency. >> so in exchange for peace at home they tolerate the funding of jihadi groups outside the border. >> yes. the irony is that some of america's closest allies in the gulf allow their citizens to support terrorist groups. >> the u.s. has slapped sanction on several gulf citizens in recent months but by running it outside the banking system isis has made it harder for u.s. to disrupt its unprecedented financing. norah? >> wyatt, thank you. this morning oscar pistorius was cleared of murder charges in the death of his girlfriend. the olympian sonned in court while the judge read the verdict. he may not be off the hook.
7:36 am
rikki klieman is here. what did they find? >> there were three findings on the facts of the killing. we had premeditated murder. she says no. that's not a surprise. in south africa when you have premeditation it's not nano second, so he didn't premeditate. then we had intentional, a logical verdict, he intended to kill her from behind the door. acquitted of that. now he's coming back from lunch. homicide. no small thing. in the u.s. that would be akin to manslaughter or negligence homicide. that is he may have made a mistake, he shot but he did not intent to kill and that sentence ultimately, which will not be today -- that will be some weeks from now -- that sentence could be zero all the way up to 15 years in prison. >> but he -- go ahead. >> no, go ahead. >> he now knows he's not going to be convicted on the greater
7:37 am
charge. >> right. and if he's s ee's sobbing in c there may be a reason why. i think we would be surprise or the legal experts and namts would be surprised if he's also acquitted of culpable homicide. >> what's interesting is she said he was a poor witness. >> oh, he was a poor witness. what we find in his need is someone who justifies his own actions. he's making up the story as he goes. he does not have a coherent story. he wu just taken apart by the prosecutor? and she seems to dismiss which she said in her own written statements that she raid, a cell phone conversation about her being scared. >> i think she dismisses great deal of the evidence both in pistorius's favor but also not in his fash because much of the evidence. we have to remember. the burden of proof is on the
7:38 am
prosecution beyond a reasonable doubt and a lot of this evidence falls away. >> rikki, let me ask you. if he does get convicted of culpable homicide, he goes to jail for how long? >> we do not know. it could be 0 to 15 years. remember, there are some gun charges there. now, in south africa, i have learn thad if the presumption is even if he's cob viktded for a substantial period of time, that he will be gifrp bail during this period of time until he comes back for sentencing. we do not expect the sentence to occur immediately. i could be wrong but ordinarily both sides will get a long time to be able to give paperwork to explain what should happen. >> everything seems to take longer in south africa, but are you surprised he was not convicted of the more serious charges based on all the evidence that we saw in this case? >> i hate to be one of those people who reads the tea leaves before let alone after, but i
7:39 am
will say this. i honestly did not expect him to be guilty of pre med tatd murder but between the toss-up, it was going one way or the other. for him to walk out with nothing would be unbelievable. >> thank you. we should note "48 hours" will have a special edition tomorrow. that's 8:00 p.m. central right here on cbs. this morn having you heard? we're getting ready for the debut of "thursday night football" right here. we're psyched about that. we'll take you back to mmt bank stadium. that's in baltimore. we'll be right back. help keep teeth clean and breath fresh. with beneful healthy smile snacks.

it is thursday, september 11th, 2014. welcome back to "cbs this morning." there is more real news ahead including "thursday night football." james brown and sharyn alfonsi join us from baltimore. but first here's a look at today's "eye opener" at 8:00. >> judgment day has arrive and judge told oscar pistorius that intention to shoot does not necessarily mean intention to kill. >> the double amputee olympian oscar pistorius is cleared of all murder charges. >> president obama wanted to make it clear he has a plan to destroy isis in syria as well as
8:01 am
iraq. >> on the iraqi side of the border i'm confident. it's the syrian side of the border that i'm worried about. >> law enforcement official claimed he sent a dvd to nfl headquarters back in april. >> if it comes out that goodell knew or his office knew, i think he may have to step down. >> how are they mining this data. >> >> millions of americans are leaving crumbs of information. >> i'm 64. >> 64. i'm 67. it's essentially -- once we hit 60, who the hell cares. >> we're a lot closer to the end than the beginning and when you get there, you're kind of like [ bleep ] it. >> i'm charlie rose with gayle king and norah o'donnell. president obama is laying out his battle plan against the terror group isis. >> in a speech to the nation last night the president called
8:02 am
isis, quote, a cancer. he said getting rid of the group was a long-term challenge. >> our objective is clear. we will degrade and ultimately destroy isil through a comprehensive and sustained counter-terrorism strategy. this campaign will be waged through a steady rerentless effort to take out isil wherever they exist using our air power and our support for partner forces on the ground. >> the president says he's authorizing air strikes inside syria for the very first time and he's sending nearly 500 more troops into iraq to help security forces there. >> one of the people making sure isis and other terror groups never reach america is homeland security secretary jeh johnson. michelle miller has more. >> good morning. jeh johnson told me the threats to homeland security don't come from isis alone but those on u.s. soil seeking to lend any terrorist a hand. >> the issue of syrian foreign
8:03 am
fighters is always topic number one in our discussions. and so we're tracking these individuals. several have been arrested by the fbi who have attempted to leave this country to take up the fight in syria. >> are we under a greater threat today from these radicalized extremists, the home grown terrorists, the loan wolf, than we are from these organizations overseas? >> in many respects that type of threat is harder to detect than the threat from oversea. the independent actor who is inspired toward violence because of something they read or something they see at home in their own living room can strike without a whole lot of notice. and so one of my priorities as secretary is community outreach and it's worked with considerable success in some contexts but we need to do a better job. >> it's been 13 years since we were attacked on 9/11.
8:04 am
are we more secure today than we were then? >> what i tell people is it's still a dangerous world 13 years later. the terrorist threat is more decentralized, it's more defuse. so in many respects the terrorist threat today is more complex. >> he said authoritieses are doing a better job to deteeth terrorist plots overseas before they come to the u.s. in an interesting note just on the side, 9/11 is, in fact, jeh johns johnson's birthday. day to remember. he was here in manhattan when it all went down. >> thank you, michelle. >> thank you. the nfl is doing damage control this morning. commissioner roger goodell is ordering an investigation of the case. controversy brought carolina panthers' owner jerry richardson
8:05 am
to tears last night. one of his players is appealing his conviction in a domestic violence case. critics accuse the panthers of being too lenient with defensive back hardy. richardson asked people not to judge too quickly. >> when it comes to domestic violen violence, my stance is not one of indifference. i stand firmly against domestic violence, plain and simple. >> now, roger goodell was supposed to attend that event last night to honor richardson but he canceled. the baltimore ravens return to the field for fer the first time since the team cut ray rice. sharyn alfonsi is in baltimore with a preview. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, gayle. "thursday night football" kicks off right here on cbs. there are still questions
8:06 am
surrounding the defensive running back ray rice. the "associated press" says the law enforcement officials show ray rice punching then fiancee janay palmer to nfl offices this past april. the law enforcement source says the nfl didn't follow up with him after the material was sent and he can't confirm whether or not the material was ever viewed. commissioner goodell said no one in the nfl saw the second tape before monday. james brown is the hoefts of "nfl today" and he's here with us this morning. >> good to see you this morning. >> good to see you. >> this is tough stuff. goodell has been under fire from all sides. now we're hearing from former players, current players. can he with stand this? has he lost face? >> it remains to be seen. from a public standpoint, there's an awful lot of concern and pressure for him to step down. i think from a player's standpoint they say, look, you
8:07 am
hold us accountable for what we do on the field. in the case of the new orleans saints, sean payton was suspended for the whole season. he claims he didn't know anything about bounty hits where players were paid to take hits on opponents. roger goodell said, you should have known. they're holding goodell to the same standard. >> they're saying it's an independent examination but it's being your seen by two nfl owners. so is there transparency there? have they learned anything? >> to the degree that nfl went outside the house to hire the former fbi director, that's a good thing. they said it will be made known to the public. that's a good thing too. look. part of the problem is what was agreed to is roger goodell has full authority when it comes to meting out punishment. so he's judge, jury, and
8:08 am
executioner. that gives a lack of transparency as opposed to the checks and balances on capitol hill. those things aren't working very well either. >> where do you think in a year, where is roger goodell? where is ray rice? >> i can't be clairvoyant. he can certainly come back. michael vick walked the road to redemption. it could take place with ray rice if he goes throughering and he apparently appears to be serious. as to the commissioner, it remains to be seen. >> norah o'donnell has a question for you from new york. >> hey, j.b. i know you're going to be seeing steve bisciotti. what do you think the questions are going to be web anyone on the team had seen or knew about the second tape? >> norah, grade question.
8:09 am
one of the questions will be the ravens had initiated their own investigation at some point. it stopped at a certain point. the question is why. the bigger question with respect to domestic violence, it's a serious issue. it's been known for quite some time. by the way, superb question on your part to the commissioner as well. >> you're certainly right about that, a james. thank you very much, sharyn. we thank you too. ahead on "cbs this morning," is it right to train your dog with a

item comes from thousands of miles away. jim, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. i had an opportunity to see the 9/11 museum for the first time yesterday. a walk through makes for an extraordinary and powerful and emotional journey. starting before the first plane hit the north tower and finishing now with a new display, focusing on the death of osama bin laden. since its opening in may, the national september 11th memorial museum has been home to the somber and painful reckoning of what happened 13 years ago, putting on display the artifacts of attack. >> we're also standing in a space called foundation hall. >> reporter: but it's the museum's latest exhibit opened just in time for the anniversary that displays another set of facts. >> these are artifacts of justice. >> yes. >> you'dn't tell the complete story of 9/11 without having at least part of the museum dedicated to the tracking down of osama bin laden.
8:16 am
>> that's true. the challenge that museums have is we convey history with stuff, material. what we had wias this particula sign a woman put out on her front lawn. she started a countdown until obama bin laden was caught. >> that day was may 1, 2011. they donated the camouflaged shirt he was wearing under his body armor. >> seeing that shirt connects you to the human being who wore it and the incredible courage and expertise the men had to do what they did. >> on the shoulder is a black and brown american flag. they couldn't use colors during a night raid. it's also a backward view to signify the front line nature of their mission. it's joined by a brick from his compound and pair of challenge

8:33 am
that's leading into this game, but as far as the game goes itself, it's one of the great rivalries in the nfl. >> the last five games have been covered by three points. >> usually everybody's politically correct. >> we go we don't like him, i don't like him and it's great. all we heard all week long from both teams, hey, let me tell you what this is about. it's very personal. there's a lot of good stars, young stars on both teams and, of coursing it's going to be physical because of the emotion. >> it's week two and they're acting like it's a must-win game. >> it's not a must-win. let's take the ravens, having lost four days ago in a division against cincinnati. if they go 0 her 2 and you lose two of your home games already, it's a tough spot. the season's not over. no reason why they can't go on a

8:35 am
both have won super bowls, what dow you say? >> it's been arguably the stormiest leading into this game and these teams at the same time, they have to go prepare for it. now, you get the thursday game. everybody's going to do it. if you get this one early in the year, it's even tougher. there's less, if yo lu recovery time for the quarterback. we like to pamper our quarterbacks. >> pamper the quarterback. >> you should explain how flacco and roethlisberger both talk about how sore they are because they don't take a lot of hits in the preseason like the linemen do. >> it's a quick turnaround for you guys, though. it's a quick turnaround for you guys. >> jim's in good shape. >> by the way, we were in new york for the jets' opener on sunday and we've gottet the game

in denver this coming sunday. so we're going to keep going like this chugging along and we're going to keep going forward. >> you mean i've about got to talk about football? >> will it be covered any differently? it's thursday night. everybody's expecting a rival and cbs has been promoting the heck out of it. have you been covering it any different? >> i'll say this. tracy wilson joins us on the sidelines. she's an outstanding reporter. that's something we had been doing for years during the postseason. tracy's going to be with us all season long. on thursday night we're going to be loaded up with equipment that almost reaches the amount of equipment that we've had hat super bowls. it's a listle different for us because we have a lot more technology options because there's been more cameras and angles we don't have every single week. >> charlie is giving up "real housewives" tonight and he's going to be watching football. that's a testament to you guys.

the threat and how safe we are. >> we are safe. however, the threat is growing exponentially since the emergence of isis as reflected in the president's speech last night. it's something we've been talking about for quite some time and it is real and it is growing. >> and is isis different than al qaeda? >> very much so in the sense that al qaeda is always looking for the big event. its history has always been the 9/11 style, the plane bombing, et cetera. isis is much more into the inspiration of the lone wolf. isis would be much more into the solo act. very sophisticated in their capabilities through their videos, through their social media, through their magazines. they're a very sophisticated operation seeking to recruit, more so even than al qaeda was over the years. >> last night, john, the president said we will degrade

and destroy isis and he talked about an air strike. i think they never heard of this group until they saw the brutal bee heading of mr. foley. do you think the air strike can take isis out? >> not a single strike. as was said it's a very sophisticated group from the m saddam hussein era. >> when deputy director mike morell was here last month he said he would not be surprised if an isis militant walked into a mall and opened fire. do you see them as an imminent threat. >> it's already happened. if you go back to the attack in belgium, you see a foreign fighter who was on the ground fighting for isis in syria who returned home and on the way decided to carry out an attack. and when he was captured at the airport and they recovered the weapon, it was wrapped in an

isis flag at that checkpoint. so you have to look at that case. the man who was arrested coming back from syria who when they raided his home in france, he had the explosives. you have to look in some cases where they've already returned i never in turning out plans and carrying out plans we haven't seen but it's a concern. >> you say it's growing. what steps are you taking in terms of new york? what are you doing differently? >> not differently but expanding upon the already formidable expertise of them. commissioner kelly had really built a world-class kind of terrorism operation here. we had sought to expand our relationship with our federal colleagues over the last eight months while we've been here and expanding our conversations. i was on the phone earlier this week with the head of the
8:45 am
metropolitan police in london. we're hoping he will be coming here shortly for a joint terrorism conference. so this is a joint international concern. >> so you know who these people are, who have american passports, and you have a sense if they try to come back. >> it's been publicly reported that they are in excess of 100 americans, at least 100 americans. the brits anticipate they've got several hund over there, the australians also. so the overall scope is known and the work is to identify who they are so you can watch for them as they attempt to come back. >> thank you, commissioner. thank you. >> memorials are under way this morning honoring nearly 3,000 people lost on september 11th, 2001. let's go to the white house in lower manhattan for the moment of silence marking the moment when the first plane hit the world trade center. ♪ banner yet wave
