that's.

welcome back here's a quick look at the day's news and the week's top stories in our team america marks a decade since the tragedy of nine eleven which united a nation brought about two of the bloodiest nourse of the twenty first century. got his sound which was invaded by the us shortly after the atrocity the relentless tell about stage another deadly suicide bombing and it's already discovers on the ground that most afghan civilians don't even know why their country was ever occupied by foreign troops. rush the sports world say goodbye to the country's top national ice hockey team wiped out in the blink of an eye forty three people died

on wednesday when. they crashed on takeoff. i am also calls of the international community not to take sides in syria's internal violence as president medvedev says negotiation is the only way to peace while the arab league announces it has reached an agreement with the rascasse on all this reforms well the decade that followed the nine eleven attacks was marked by wars fought under the flag of ridding the world of terrorists who are as worker sent a former u.s. official in george w. bush's administration told r.t. that america thinks it holds unintelligible place in the world and abuses the power of the longer hats. after nine eleven america did not just go after those who perpetrated that tragic vicious attack it only she campaigned on nations that had nothing to do with nine

eleven we're talking about iraq where hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians have died since two thousand and three america's been in constant war since nine eleven in different countries are we talking about one of the most profound overreactions in military history to talk about that i'm joined by colonel lawrence wilkerson who served us calling powells chief of staff collin powell secretary of state under george w. bush colonel wilkerson thank you so much for joining me thanks for having me more than six thousand american servicemen and guy in the last decade of war spawned by the nine eleven attack. tragedy worth remembering and knowing no doubt but why in all those speeches delivered by american officials i never hear about hundreds of thousands of. innocent civilians gadd in the wars waged by the united states and other countries like iraq as a collective entity we seem to think were exceptional on and so exceptional that we

don't have to think about other people or as i said that's a position you can maintain as long as you are as powerful as we were powerful as roman each day post world war two but we're no longer that powerful in our powerful recedes even as we speak today some of the people who were at the helm back then are now writing books saying everything they did was right including guantanamo including everything else i'm talking about big cheney first of all president under george w. bush and at the same time they're all blaming each other for something why all this confusion and should one be worried about the general picture that's being created at the last that you know for because they're all trying to blame each other and trying to get out of some of the blame and yes we should be. and why are they trying to blame each other but let's let's face a fact here for a moment that most americans don't even think about. nine eleven happened when george w. bush and dick cheney's lot. they allowed the greatest killing of americans on

american territory since florida. a lot of their rhetoric and aggressive actions post nine eleven was to hide that fact and also to keep it from happening again because if it had happened again they parted with been impeached on the spot thrown out of office so we spent four trillion dollars to counter an attack by bin laden's of laurie that cost maybe half a million that's not very cost effective that's really bad it's bad business so you have to understand that first of all about the bush cheney administration the second thing you understand i think is that we have made a cottage industry if not to much more than a cottage industry out of the work my former boss colin powell has called the terrorist industrial complex and lots of people are making lots of money off of this so-called global war on terror you're saying that you had lots of doubts about building this case for war in iraq was it possible at some point. to stand up and say no we have doubts we're not writing this speech where we're out of it we all

did key points in the preparation colin powells presentation on some of those occasions george tenet and his deputy john mclaughlin said ok ok will is really that out of the cia head of the cia and the director of central intelligence at the time. will throw that out and they threw it out the real essence of that presentation that they preserved were they being george tenet and john mclaughlin and i think under some strong influence from the vice president's office they preserved and that was the mobile biological laboratories that was the active nuclear program as symbolized by the aluminum tubes and it was the existing chemical stocks and. nachum is hard connections between al-qaeda and baghdad those were the real faults of the ads in that briefing that george tenet and john mclaughlin the representatives of not just the u.s. intelligence community but of israel france britain jordan and

a host of others who were feeding intelligence into us. that's what they said was sacrosanct they said that is the case that is what saddam hussein is doing only later did we learn that even though most elements of his presentation were composed of half truths false words even and i think today after doing more research outright lies lies created in the defense department under undersecretary of defense for policy doug feith and his special iraqi why and allies created in the vice president like working at the house that he wanted for the same reason that in summer of two thousand and two i had discovered that the emphasis on enhanced interrogation techniques changed suddenly from being to try and find out if another attack were coming after all a lot of time expired for another attack were coming it would have come. in the summer of two thousand and two it shifted suddenly to enhanced interrogation in

order to find out if baghdad had contacts with al qaida so we were actually torturing people not under the so-called smoking gun argument that we might have another attack so it was justified we were torturing people so we could attack iraq and convince the american people we should do so that's how drastic it got now ask me why do you want to go to war with iraq and i'll give you a half a dozen answers if it's douglas feith it's protection of israel if it's paul wolfowitz the deputy secretary of defense it's a little bit of israel it's a little bit of oil and it's a little bit of bringing peace and democracy and freedom to the middle east if it's george bush it's who i fear the nexus between now and baghdad which cheney had convinced i'm sure george tenet had convinced about it george tenet didn't think there was that big a nexus. with dick cheney i think it was a little iraq right now is sitting on probably two hundred billion barrels maybe

three hundred billion barrels that's the racks on the report that surpasses the. how do you read this if iraq is sitting on three hundred billion barrels of oil if that turns out to be true it will be more than saudi arabia now you know why dick cheney went to war in iraq that also was the low hanging fruit in north korea it was far more dangerous but to difficult one hundred thousand casualties were predicted by the pentagon on both sides seoul would be destroyed iran was too difficult seventy million people not fractured like the iraqis and the sunni and shia christian and other so the low hanging fruit was a rock just use the moment in the wake of nine eleven they use the moment and in the wake of nine eleven to divert from afghanistan our real target should have been our real target and go to iraq that's exactly what they did you said they would testify if they put someone like cheney on trial of our what would you accuse them off i think he's already done it no one needs to accuse him of anything he has admitted publicly it is on videotape that he condoned waterboarding but he would

still waterboard then he does not believe waterboarding is torture waterboarding is torture there is a if so facto case the man's guilty but they're saying they did it in the best interest of their country it seems to be the ultimate reasoning which can't be confronted what would you say to that i say that the him never justifies the means . and the question is does the lesser evil ever justify itself because it prevents a greater evil there are some real problems with that argument the logical problems as well as philosophical and what i would call value laden problems first is you can never know hypothetical you never know if your lesser evil action actually prevented the greater evil dick cheney spends hours television and elsewhere and in this book trying to say that his actions prevented a greater evil another attack on the united states and so forth well that's his

interpretation my interpretation of the bureaucracy which is probably far better than his because i was buried in it i heard people talking about it every day so bottom line is i know what dick cheney doesn't know because he was in the ivory palace and he can't know for soldiers surrounding cheney the people who surrounded cheney or david addington and john hannah and scooter libby and they told the cheney what dick cheney wants to hear george tenet told dick cheney what dick cheney wanted to hear oh yes it's working mr vice president we're getting great information here for stopping terrorist attacks that is the order book they didn't stock anything through in here and enhanced interrogation techniques i have that from some of the most respected people in the f.b.i. and the intelligence community so i can't fault big cheney for not knowing the truth because he couldn't know the truth he stressed the strath and his own. but the truth is the methods don't work and they rebound to your discredit and they

recruit as you said for your enemy dick cheney is asked what would happen if an american were captured in iran and what would happen if they waterboarding because they thought he was a threat to the state of iran and so forth he just skirted around the question what he really said was if you listen closely americans are better than anybody else in the world. americans shouldn't be waterboarding but anybody else we can waterboard especially if we're americans doing it that's essentially what dick cheney said now here's the kicker about forty percent of america agrees with you poll you look at the polls that have been done about forty percent of america at any given time they think that americans have the right to torture other people and other people don't have the rights to torture americans for various reasons most seven think it's that way because we have a bigger gun that's why they think we can get away with it and do it because we have a bigger gun that's why i say the reckoning is coming the reckoning when we are just

another country in the world and that day is coming it may not come in my lifetime but unfortunately i think it's coming in my children and my grandchildren's like time and this is going to be a hard time for washington because we no longer going to have the money we're no longer going to have the economic might we're no longer going to have the military might and so forth to say to the world we can torture you but you can't torture us many say that america's response to nine eleven was one of the most profound overreactions in military history would you agree with that i think initially it was proportional it was rational it was fairly well supported in the international community and it was a sadness that yes the initial reaction what we should have done was gone to afghanistan as we did did what we did about six months and said ok here's your government karzai you've got it go ahead and run your country as best you can we'll

give you economic and financial support from afar we're going home oh by the way footnote if you entertain terrorist in this country again we'll come back and do it again in what way could that over we actually backfire. i think it already has and this is a. change really that's happened since world war two it's been creeping up on us and now we've libya it's here we have a an executive power that is beyond any check by the people by the congress or by the courts for war we can go toward the drop of a cone and it matters not that the obama administration and i have to say i voted for president why it matters not that they have protested rather late and he ought to be relieved that they weren't involved in hostilities that the war powers act was not relevant and so forth it certainly was any time you kill people for state

purposes the war powers act is relevant and the constitution is real we've reached the point now where the president of the united states can kill people for state purposes any time he or she feels the need james madison said very eloquently when you compare combined the power to initiate war with the power to execute it and you have achieved tyranny that is a very profoundly worrying situation and that's what's happened in this country. from the.

story there. marks a decade since the tragedy of nine eleven which united a nation or brought about two of the bloodiest war since the twenty first century and right now you're looking at live pictures of commemorative ceremonies how to meet in new york city to remember the victims of nine eleven. in afghanistan which was invaded by the u.s. shortly after the atrocity the relentless tell about stage another deadly suicide bombing has already discovered on the ground most afghan civilians don't even know why their country was never occupied by foreign troops. rush out of the sports world sacred parts of the country stopped nationalized hockey team wiped out in the blink of an eye forty three people died on the red seeing red local to get
