a former c.i.a.isgraced as a traitor now finds aitorederal government coming to er rescue. nada prouty was vilified in the proa as a terrorist and she media er citizenship. ci now director of the c.i.a., the attorney general, and the secretary of homeland security se are intervening in her case. or first reported the story of nada prouty last year on "60 minutes." >> i believe in the country. try.lieve in everything that this country stands for. >> reporter: prouty's missions ns an f.b.i. agent and c.i.a. officer read like a history of the war on terror. she investigated the bombing of the u.s.s. "cole," this attack on americans in saudi arabia, she took part in armed raids in ds i and helped develop dntelligence that led to saddam hussein. a stellar career-- until prouty's name came up in an prou f.b.i. investigation. it was 2004. f.b.f.b.i. was looking into whether this lebanese restaurant owner was sending money to terrorists. it turned out, he was nada prouty's brother-in-law and during the inves

because the c.i.a. is able to talk to terrorists, right? >> well, all we have available to us today army field manual. that's posted online. people who are potential terrorists or terrorists have the ability to read ahead of time exactly what will happen to them if they are captured on the battlefield. that's all we have. we don't have any other interrogation that's available through the c.i.a.. is that's like putting handcuffs on the united states when it comes to our intelligence. not only that, we don't have jails the way we used to. here we are on the battlefield. so if we captured enemy combatants, we have to options: we can either kill them or we can release them. what we need.... >> brown: but what what about governor patrick? isn't that a place where we take terrorists? >> not anymore. we aren't using guantanamo bay to take additional terrorists. that was the perfect facility to use... to extract information from people to keep the american people safe. that was whole purpose to gain information and that's what... that's my fallback

the c.i.a. is said to have carried out over 300 drone strikes with more than the,000 people losing their lives, the majority are thought to be suspected militants but campaigners say hundreds of innocent civilians are also among the dead. >> a rare glimpse of a remote controlled killer. a pilotless u.s. drone. in the skies over pakistan's tribal belt. the targets are suspected militants. and many senior table and al qaeda commanders have been killed. washington refuses to admit it's using the missiles here. opponents say it's murder. these men have lost eight relatives between them. the dead were guilty of nothing they say, expect living in the wrong place. sodola also lost both legs, one eye and his hope for the future. >> i wanted to be a doctor, he told me. but i can't walk to school anymore. when i see others going, i wish i could join them. viewed from a drone, any man in the tribal areas can look like a target stays pakistani lawyer taking on the c.i.a. >> table or non-table would be dress

official in pakistan once admitted to me is that we met langley, we let the c.i.a. take charge of policy and foggy bottom wasn't in charge. ate department wasn't in charge. so priorities were counterterrorism and after afghans and pakistanis would say "my life is wor today. >> there are those who say if you want to find a play that teaches revenge, don't go to titus andronicus because-- quoting it is elliot-- "it's one of the stupidest and most uninspired plays er written. and your colleague at yale says "i cannot... i can conceive no intransi can value to the titus andronicus." >> well, elliott and bloom are dangerous people to disagree with but i think they're both wrong. >> rose: (laughs) you'll step forward. >> i will happily. the mo i read tie it is a and the more i teach it and the times i've been able to see it i'm persuaded it's a wonderful pl. it has if core of everything akespeare came to think about revenge. it's spectacular and grotesque. i think of it as shakespears master niece a very particular sense. in the original sense of that word when a craftsma

now, to a fox news alert. 12 c.i.a. agents have reportedly been arrested in iran, one of the country's top officials now accusing the agents of spying. he also says that they were working with the israeli government to attack nuclear and military interests in iran. so far, no word from the white house or the c.i.a. on these reports. an emotional homecoming in colorado. you're looking at army sergeant andrew marinos surprising his two children at their elementary school. he was deployed to afghanistan more than a year ago. >> thank you so much for letting me surprise them and for everything you've done for my family and my kids nce we've been gone. >> that kills us! the sergeant's kids were reading a book about soldiers when he came in and surprised them. you can't get those -- enough of those stories. love those stories! >> and we're going on have even more of that. we'll be live in afghanistan and iraq a little later this morning with some of the troops wishing them a happy thanksgiving. >> you got it, buddy. it's turk

it could be part of an iranian network that c.i.a.other intelligence services have been running. it shows what a hostile environment iran is. how hard it is for us to get god intelligence. and if it is propaganda it also shows the iranians are very concerned about the status of their nuclear weapons perhaps. >>alisyn: because the c.i.a. operates convertly we would never know. >>guest: the good news is maybe we have not had any anonymous sources in the intelligence community confirming that, in fact, these were agents run by the united states. unlike a few weeks ago when hezbollah announced they rolled up the c.i.a. network in lebanon and the sources say it is too bad. silence is very important. if they are agents. confirming it seals their warrant. >> what does it mean fort united states intelligence as we try to figure out what is going on inside of iran? >>guest: well, on the assumption the iranians are somewhat accurate it shows that running human intelligence inside iran is very difficult. and if these were people who were intende

should the nypd and the c.i.a. be profiling muslims?elations says absolutely not. they took to the streets on friday. in protest. so, this is a controversial issue. every time we bring it up, both sides have a lot of strong feelings about this. as we saw, eric, this weekend, we caught another terrorist plotting an attack. and so should they have not used profiling to catch the guy? >> eric: the whole thing, cair, the organization has been telling the members and various people associated with cair not to cooperate with police. meanwhile, we're constantly catching these people. this guy, the guy they caught on sunday night, i believe, sunday afternoon, was an hour away from planning the bomb that was going to go after a cop, returning military service person. think about what is going on. we had a guy in times square ready to blow up explosives. >> andrea: most muslims are peaceful. it's a radical arm. is the nypd not supposed to profile that? >> kimberly: that is a very vocal and dangerous minority like the cair group. that is counterpr

c.i.a. operative killed somebody in pakistan. it's very difficult.cooperate in the fight against terrorism. more often than not, the intelligence services seem to play at best a double game. and it's hard to know what the u.s. can do to turn it around. but it is a reason why we have to get afghanistan right. we will need a base in the region to deal with the problems in pakistan. >> chris: let's talk in practical terms of the apprise sal that pakistanis announced in the wake of the killing and the early reporting seems to be it is a mistaken identity. that there was fire from the area. u.s. and afghanistan forces thought it was coming from the insurgents. it wasn't. so you had the tragedy. but the specific reprisals that the pakistanis have taken, they said the u.s. has to stop drone attacks from one of its key air bases. also they cut out the two main supply routes for nato from pakistan in to afghanistan. how much of a problem is that going to create for us in trying to prosecute this war? >> it creates a tremendous practical problem as you suggest

vacate an air base used for suspected c.i.a. drone attacks. and they're shutting down vital supply routes for a coalition troops in afghanistan. molly henneberg is live in washington and molly, what has been the nato response to the attack on the pakinstani army checkpoints? >> hi. nato says its helicopters and fighter jets were called in by afghan and coalition troops fighting insurgents in that area. a spokesman for general john allen, the head of nato and u.s. forces in afghanistan, says the general wants a thorough investigation and also offers his sympathy. >> he expresses his sincere and personal heartfelt condolences to the families and loved ones of any member of the pakistan security forces who may have been killed or injured. >> general jacobson says the incident happened in part of a region between afghanistan and pakistan where the border is, quote, not always clear. >> arthel: and, of course, a decision like this, the confusion often works to the taliban's advantage, right? >> yes. one military an mist says the taliban often picks

one of the c.i.a.'told fox that the agency started the video briefings because analysts believe the tapes would appeal to president reagan with his acting background. the clips you're about to see are the same clips shown to the late president and his national security team. >> reports from soviet tv that liberally used footage from michael jackson videos, the videos were used by the media to shoot a picture of american life. how the soviet government wanted the citizens to believe that the u.s. is evil. >> in recent years, the soviet media has said much about the american way of life and its portrait of america is a dark one. it is designed to convince the soviet people that our social system is anything but desirable. >> the videos, most were made in the mid 1980's, seem quaint by today's standards but striking in this 15 minute briefing in afghanistan, many of the same points ring true today as u.s. troops pull out of the region. there's also a new addition to the c.i.a.'s museum. a letter on adolf h

to run the c.i.a. you need toned that today, today we-- when we-- when we interdict a terrorist on the battle field, we have no jail for them. we have nowhere to take them. we have no c.i.a. interrogation anymore. it is as though we have decided we want to lose in the war on terroar under president obama. that's not my strategy. my strategy will be that the united states will be victorious in the war on terror. >> garrett: my fighting sense we have a debate to get launched here. i know you have an opinion and would like to weigh in. >> yes, tort is illegal, and by our laws, it's illegal by international laws. >> garrett: how do you define torture, sir? >> well, waterboarding is torture ( cheers and applause ) and many others. it's illegal under international law and under our law. it's also immoral and it's also very impractical. there's no evidence that you really get reliable evidence. why would you accept the position of torturing 100 people because you know one person might have information? and th

in january, a c.i.a. contractor was arrested after killing two pakistanis in the eastern city of lahore. in may, the u.s. did not inform pakistan when navy seals crossed the border deep into pakistan to kilo osama bin laden. and continuing pakistani support of militants who attack american and nato forces in afghanistan has brought sharp rebukes from u.s. officials. for now both nato and the u.s. have promised investigations of saturday's air strike. in the meantime, the short-term fallout could be severe. pakistan's participation in an upcoming conference on stabilizing afghanistan is in doubt. and intelligence-sharing between the u.s. and pakistani militaries has been abruptly halted. and for more on this escalating dispute between official allies, we turn to shuja nawaz, the director of the southeast asia center at the atlantic council. he has written extensively on the pakistan military. and stephen cohen, a senior fellow at the brookings institution and the author of numerous books about pakistan, in

markey if it's being drawn by the c.i.a. rather than military? how many c.i.a. will stay even though we leave? guest: this is the argument about whether or not we could continue to atact terrorists like al qaeda members, the taliban and so on with a much lighter footprint. that is, could we leave essentially 10,000 or fewer u.s. forces, including special forces, c.i.a. and so "encore booknotes" the ground in afghanistan with drones and airpower and target many of the groups that are most troubling to us without having a heavy military footprint of nearly 100,000 at its height? most military officials and experts suggest this ask too difficult for us because that smaller footprint would be under constant attack and because by pulling away the military you would also leave a broader instability that would make it very difficult to get allies, to tell you who the bad guys are and to help you move around the country and conduct counterterror operations. so there probably is a number well short of 100,000 where the united states could maintain a presence in afghanist

the story is about a c.i.a. mission carried out during the 1979 iran hostage crisis.eorge clooney is the film's producer and he was spotted at today's raven's-bengel's game in baltimore. >> i'm assuming that is a raven that he was standing next to. >> the star of the show -- >> our weather turned out nice today for a sunday. >> it was beautiful. >> mid 60s. the rain held off until after sunset. the sun goes down at 4:51. >> it is beautiful. i'll take it. november already pushing toward december. looking outside the clouds are here along with a few showers. the showers will still around for the remainder of the overnight but will ease a little bit as we move into the rush hour commute. high temperature, reagan national made it up to 65. our average for this time of year 56. look at the temperatures down to the south made it up to 70 earlier in the day. it's now 57. winds out of the east- northeast. almost 4/10 of an inch of rain. temperature now 52 degrees, 55 in rockville and our final stop takes us to the district. george washington university, 67 now cooling down ju

that's developed an extraordinary capability since 9/11, but they have worked very closely with c.i.a. gathering international intelligence, n.s.a., homeland security and the military. mr. graham: it's a team effort. mr. lieberman: right. mr. graham: now, let's imagine a scenario next week where we find an al qaeda cell exists that's planning a series of attacks against the united states, and within that cell, we have some american citizens and you have people that have come here noncitizens. would you agree with me since congress has designated cooperating or collaborating with al qaeda to be a -- an act of war, that that entire cell could be held as enemy combatants and questioned by our intelligence community as to what they know about the attack in question or future attacks? mr. lieberman: well, that certainly should be the case because they have all -- we have had this circumstance in reality. they are all part of the same enemy. in the case you posit, they have all been part of the same plot to attack the american people. mr. graham: so would you agree with me that the current

. >> pelley: besides closing the border, the pakistanis are giving the c.i.a. just 15 days to shut down drone operations from a pakistani air base in the south. so how did this attack happen? david martin has been talking to his sources at the pentagon. >> reporter: the closing of supply routes through pakistan will have no immediate impact on the war effort in afghanistan, athat according to u.s. officials who say supplies already stockpiled in afghanistan plus routes coming in from the north and by air can make up the difference. the facts of the cross-border fire fight remain in dispute, but there's no doubting the fresh wave of anti-americanism it has triggered. the state department had to warn americans in pakistan they could be targets of retaliation. general james mattis, commander of central command which overseas in afghanistan ordered an investigation into what everyone agrees is a major setback in an already rocky relationship. according to u.s. officials it began when a patrol of american special forces and afghan troops took fire from the direction

we no longer have c.i.a. interrogators. c.i.a. interrogators no longer are able to deal with enemy combatants. all we have is the army field manual and we publish it online so any terrorist can see what's going to happen to them when they're captured, and it's in effect, they know exactly what we're going to do to them. so they don't fear. there is no fear. no respect for the united states because they know exactly what's going to happen, and something else that i brought up in.debate is we no longer have a place to put them in jail once we capture them. now, there are ships, but that's not a long-term solution. we have bagram air force base, but that's not really a detention facility if all we're using is the army field manual. when are we going to recognize we're at war? we're at war with an enemy that means business. our enemy sees that we're at war. they're acting like we're at war. we're the ones that are acting like we're not at war. we're at war with an enemy that wants to see us defeated and dead, so much so that it wasn't

. >> under barack obama he's allowing the aclu to run the c.i.a. >> torture is illegal by our laws and illegal by international laws. >> we should not torture. waterboarding is torture. >> 90 minutes of debate. no clear winners, and this time no losers either. brian mooar, wbal-tv 11 news. >> joining us now greg bernstein. >> good morning. >> it has been almost a year that you have been in office. how would you classify this last 10 months basically? has it been good? not good? how do you think it is going so far? >> i think it has been great. we knew when we got into the office there were a lot of challenges facing us. our objective is to fight crime first, to reduce the violent crime in the city that's plagued us for so long. i think we are already starting to see the benefits of the work that we've done. >> one of the things i focused on is repeat violent offenders. a relatively small number of people commit most of the violent crime in baltimore city. to that end, one of the first things we did is create what our major investigations unit. i recruited some very talented people, bot
