10:15 am
>> obviously that's the field. >> football fans know that stadium as the home of the pittsburgh steelers. former cia director mike hayden sees something else down there as well. >> see all that parking lot? that's my boyhood home. >> steelers may have paved over hayden's working class neighborhood but the city of pittsburgh made up for it by naming a street after him. the local boy who rose to the top of american intelligence. >> you have been in the middle of just about every controversial intelligence operation of the first decade of the 21st century. what did you learn? of intelligence. >> the only man to head both the national security agency with almost incomprehensible power to monitor communications and cia, hayden's memoir is called "playing to the edge" where the power of intelligence meets the limits of the law.
10:16 am
there and stealing information we are not otherwise entitled to. we do it to foreigners, not our own citizens, they're protected by our constitution. but unarguably we're out there stealing other people's secrets. >> you use the whole field. you take it all the way to the edge. >> as a life long steelers fan he used their practice field to make his point. >> we are playing right up to the line and we knew it. >> not months after 9/11 hayden set up an operation called stellar wind, under which nsa eaves dropped on americans suspected of communicating with terrorists overseas. >> you've got a moral responsibility to use all of the authorities that you've been given, and that is especially true when you think you're in a national emergency like we were after 9/11. >> drone strikes against suspected terrorists also began after 9/11, another operation on the edge. >> there aren't many other
10:17 am
the american legal theory for targeted killings. that we could use unmanned aerial vehicles for prevision strikes outside of internationally accept theaters of conflict. i'm very happy with it, content with it, legally and morally. >> as head of the cia from 2006 to 2009, hayden had to personally approve those drone strikes. he remembers one in particular against abu khabab al masri a master bomb maker and chief of al qaeda's wmd program. >> we had him, quote, you can quote, within our sights. but he was with members of his family. he actually had a grandson sleeping near him and so as part of our intelligence contribution to the operation, you are engineering what weapons could be used, what's the probability of kill for those weapons. and it was going to be a very close call as to whether or not we could kill the target and spare the grandson. we did everything we could. >> and?
10:18 am
we killed him but the grandson died also. >> and you can live with that? >> i can. and i can say i can without any sense of being cavalier. i have grandchildren, too. >> that's a long road for a catholic altar boy to travel but he can still go home again and hobnob with his old junior high school football coach, dan rooney, chairman of the pittsburgh steelers. >> so you spotted this guy early? >> spode him real early. >> tucked away behind six super bowl trophies is a wall of steeler greats. including the young mike hayden who helped with the team's equipment. >> 35 years later he became director of the national security agency, right in the middle of the information revolution. nsa, which had sent the 20th century intercepting communications that went through the air, started stealing information from other countries' computer networks.
10:19 am
taking, if you could get just get there to grab it. >> the image of nsa is ling quests with headphones. >> right. >> listening. now you're talking about hackers. >> right. >> that's night and day. >> it is. i agree with you. >> you're going from listening to breaking and entering. >> you bet. >> last year when china hacked into the office of personnel management and stole the private information of millions of government employees, u.s. officials treated as an outrage. to hayden it was a nifty piece of work. >> if i could have done that against someone else, against china, while i was director, i'd have done it in a heartbeat. no shame in that. >> here it comes, did you? >> no. you would have heard about fit we had. but we would have if we had the chance. >> once you get inside a network, sounds like it's like once you get inside a house you
10:20 am
once you're in a network you can do a whole bunch of other things to that network. it's just that nsa doesn't have the authority to do that. >> nsa does not have the authority, for instance to, crash the computers which run another country's air defense system. that's an act of war. the job of the u.s. military. so in 2005, nsa director hayden, who also happened to be an air force general, became the first head of what is today called cowboyer command. >> somebody's been working on these cyberweapons. was that you? >> yeah. we were developing ways to do things and so we created this stable of weapons. stable of weapons. you're out there stockpiling cowboyer weapons. >> yeah. >> can you tell me about any computer network attacks that you pulled off? >> no. because this is so hideously over classified it's hard for us to have an adult discussion about what it is we are or are
10:21 am
>> let's take down this wall of secrecy. how powerful are cyberweapons 14. >> the problem with cowboyer weapons is not whether or not they're powerful, david, the problem with cowboyer weapons for a country like ours is the ability to control them. >> the now famous 2010stuxnet attack mounted by the u.s. and israel against computers which controlled iran's uranium enrichment ken trifinals spread to networks in more than 100 other countries including the u.s. what is keeping other countries from taking down our networks? >> number one, it's not as easy as it looks. number two, you have to think why would they want to do that. we are a very powerful nation. i may not be in their interests to make us really, really angry at them. >> what about a terrorist group? >> isn't it interesting.
10:22 am
using a cyberweapon to affect physically destruction, i'm talking about the al qaeda and isis of the world. the answer, i have no idea but they haven't done it yet. >> capability? >> the guys are cybersmart. they use the web for everything else. you would think within their legions that they would have the talent to do this. i just can't explain why it hasn't happened. >> hayden out of government now working as a consultant to corporations doing business in the age of terror and cyberattacks. the only time he's in danger of stepping out of bounds is on the practice field. you may say he's backed away from the edge. that's lactaid. right. 100% real milk, just without the lactose. so you can drink all you want... ...with no discomfort? exactly. here, try some...
