the cia can defend itself. the nypd can defend itself but these lies cause such trouble and confusion and consternation in the muslim-american community, makes it harder for the in, ypd to carry out its job. i wish members of congress before they talk about press reports would look into the facts behind them and i just again want to go over with you general petraeus, the cia inspector general said there was no violation of the security act as far as the nypd and the cia. is that correct? >> that's correct, and if i could point out congressman, the ig of the cia is an independent individual. he is the only person in the agency beyond the director who is nominated by the president, and confirmed by the senate. >> did he find out there was no violation of the national security act. he also concluded -- did he also conclude that there was no executive order violated by the cia or the nypd? >> that's correct. >> is there any evidence at all the inspector general find any evidence at all that the cia carried out or en

and so one of the you're beginning to see interesting leaks coming out of the cia as well because david petraeus isn't giving the counterterrorism center kind of carte blanche to go bomb whoever they want to bomb so we're getting leaks anyway and this report i think is an important part of it but i have read the quote that you raised you know were al qaeda sympathizers if we asked pakistani journalists and locals to help put names to the people who've been hit me strikes. you know that they're obviously trying to push back and ensure there won't be any independent checking of their records in you know possibly in anticipation of them becoming slightly more transparent with it so it's really important to have that independent reporting out there i had to read that just seems ludicrous and i was assuming that you probably agree i hope that you agree that now you have anonymous of course officials because they can't come out on the record because the program is supposed to be secret coming out and making this argument the now if you actually want to get the details of what the us gov

>> my manuscript to the cia and they had to approve it. >> why did you leave the cia? >> it was part of the plea deal unfortunately. people ask me all the time would you ever go back to government service and i tell them the same thing. i am living proof that the justice system works because the truth was told in the end and i am happy to have served my country and i will serve my country again at the trough of a dime. this is not pessimistic. this is an optimistic story. in any other country had been accused of these horrendous charges i would have been executed. only in america do you get the chance to tell your story and to know that justice prevails in the end and that the truth always comes out. >> this is booktv and c-span2. we have been talking with nada prouty, former cia agent and author of this author of this book, "uncompromised: the rise, fall, and redemption of an arab american patriot in the cia". >> next jeffrey clements argues the supreme court decision was flawed and argues to reverse it. this is about 40 minutes. >> thank you for your leadership. i hav

government allow the cia to keep their data secret we're going to speak to marcy wheeler about the reactions to this report and you know to some very politically tinge as during the super bowl this year we're going to talk about the insane amounts of money that are pouring in from all sides to fuel political debate in this country. we're going to all that morphy tonight including a dose of happy hour but first take a look at the mainstream media has decided. well this monday there is no shortage of big news going on around the world americans to be tried in egypt the u.s. closing its embassy in damascus and continuing rhetoric heating up over iran now for once it's been one of those days where the mainstream media has actually chosen to give ample airtime to real news rather than just the typical partisan tit for tat and i don't mean that the campaign stories were completely absent but just for once they weren't the only thing that the mainstream media shone a light on. the u.s. closes its embassy in syria and is recommending that all u.s. citizens leave the country immediately they are urgi

to keep the cia the leads that would be easy interrogating people if they were this week in. the music was so loud. and it was probably some of the worst torture that they faced. all right chris take it from the top were ready. it's incredible anything goes and hearing badge and national. insurance club go. well i've always liked music i think most people do actually. music means good luck to me among many other things i love that i've had a chat to to write music partly for a living and largely for fun that's also helping people. it's incredible. nation. christopher soft as a composer for sesame street because his music helps to teach young children how to read and write for forty years he's been working for the famous children's television show during this time he's written more than two hundred songs. their surname. for his work christopher has won many awards. in the show the cookies sesame street residents like big bird sing his songs the ricks of today with magic numbers strange words or the names of the callers but these innocent children songs were abused for inhumane

the cia's belief that would be easy to target towards this week. the music was so loud. and it was probably some of the worst talk but they faced. all right chris thank you from the. it's incredible all ending in gold and hearing badge and emotion. go down well i've always liked music i think most people do actually. is it means good luck to me among many other things i love and i've had a chat to to write music partly for a living and largely for fun that's also helping things. it's incredible. in your imagination. christopher soft as a composer for sesame street because his music helps to teach young children how to read and write for forty years he's been working for the famous children's television show during the time he's written more than two hundred songs. their surname. christof awards. and the quirky sesame street residents like. sing his songs lyrics are to do with magic numbers strange words were the names of the colors of these innocent children songs were in q maine. two thousand and three. a. my first reaction was this can't be true and this is just too cr

in the meantime, the cia has taken matters into its own hands. remotely piloted drones have fired more than 280 hellfire missiles and bombs at targets in the tribal areas. officially, the cia does not speak about the drone war, but an agent who once ran the campaign agreed to talk to frontline about the program. >> the calculus is really a very simple one: it's trying to kill people before they kill you. it's as simple as that. now, it may have the knock-on and potentially intended effect, you hope, of discouraging further militancy. when people see others, you know, going up in a... in a puff of smoke, you know, one hopes that that will induce people to... to go home and sit out the fight. this is very much a "kill or be killed" situation, and that's very much the dynamic that... that governs this. >> smith: the drone war was initially conceived to kill only the leadership of al qaeda and the taliban, but president obama has dramatically widened the campaign. under his administration, the cia has launched nearly six times more strikes than it did

and then money gets indirectly funds sent to the cia as a result of that so. there will be fairly little cuts for the d.o.d. in the near term future and there will be fairly little cuts then to other assets for the u.s. to be able to influence you know iraq and afghanistan everywhere else and lastly jake just want to ask you what do you say to those that that say this sudden pull out and total stop the you know ceasing to spend any money on iraq is not really feasible that it should be more of this gradual process to make it more of a smooth the most trance transition possible well i just have to ask them look at the last hundred years of american history and ask how smooth any transition has gone as and has never been smooth and easy no matter how delicate it was we haven't tried just pulling out yet fact the one place we did was vietnam and that. turned out pretty well for us because vietnam's bennet is not a place i want to live but it's relatively stable and it's as i'm been a threat to the united states so we ought to really think about that as as an optio

oh of course i mean you know we see that right now with the cia and the state department's operating grown programs with clients over iraq which new york times tells us in the feature story yesterday he is arousing all sorts of concerns there and then as and bike is fun too but i think the big question is who's operating the ground so you know i i frankly think you know the population on the ground to be delighted to see human rights organizations out there monitoring them but i think you know i think suspect the syrians wouldn't want that is they do everything they can to block it but the bottom line is i think mark is right with this initiative it's a good one and it's something that should be pursued. but i mean let's bring up another issue here too right we not only have the question of national sovereignty and human rights organizations also aren't state actors and personally i can't name a single government you just want to talk about syria i can't name a single government that would be ok with. human rights organization flying a drone over their airspace but there's also this

i think the best thing is for the jurisdiction to pass over from the cia to the departed. are transparent figures i'm not really sure if i buy it or the president is being misled either but you know i mean the questions are never ending unless we actually do see some kind of documentation thank you both for joining us tonight scott mark thanks so much thank you. colorado state lawmaker get in a situation after he gets pulled over. at a happy hour ladies are sweating bullets after a recall been issued on some birth control pills and. twitter's footsteps when it comes to country by country censorship explain away from the. touch like a well trained on the. villages in ruins. where time stands still. becomes a scene of nothing. the mysterious sons of russia. wealthy british soil it's time to. market. them the. wind on what's really happening to the global economy with mike stronger no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune into cars a report on our. today . these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. joint operations room. hi g

the medical specialists carefully describe the torture procedures cia agents are allowed to use during interrogations they focus on methods that leave no visible traces on the prison those such as noise and loud music permitted noise levels are as follows music as loud as the noise of a highway for eighteen hours a day at the volume of a crying motorbike for eight hours. as loud as the truck engine at full throttle for four hours. and as loud as a jackhammer. for two hours. human rights groups force in courts for the publication of these torture guidelines still most of the pages look like this reasons of national security the government says but for human rights were such as such as thomas kean and they still form a clear picture of what musical torture methods were used. prisoners were forced to put on headphones they were attached chairs the headphones were attached to their head and they were left alone just within these sick for very long periods of time sometimes hours even days and listening to repeated loud music. music was being used to kuantan and low. in kabul in afghanistan

. >>> plus, the cia's website hacked. a group called anonymous has taken credit for the cyber attack, and they say they're not done targeting government websites. >>> you're looking at a live picture from cpac. it's the conservative political action conference meeting in washington. it's the third and final day of the convention which brings together the nation's leading conservative activists. here's a look at today's highlights. at 4:15 the conference will release the much anticipated results of the much anticipated presidential straw poll. right after the straw poll results, sarah palin takes the stage to deliver the convention's keynote address. three of the four gop candidates addressed the conference yesterday, furnishing their credentials and attacking president obama. our director is covering kre pack for us this morning. lots to talk about. let's start with today's convenients. what's the real significance of the straw poll? >> well, you know, ted, if rick santorum, who has come on with three major wins last week

he was joined by the heads of the cia and fbi and the defense intelligence agency. this panel also testified before the senate intelligence committee on tuesday. this is two hours, 20 minutes. >> we call the committee to order and the committee will come to order. i want to thank our guest and witnesses today. first let me thank you for your service to your country and i hope you will pass on the committees thanks to the men and women who serve and do the real work as we say in the intelligence business. please pass along our admiration and respect and support and great thanks for really what has been a very very good year and the intelligence business for the united states of america. i also want to thank all of you, since we started this very hearing last year the very fact that we have established i think a very professional working relationship with the community and i think that has netted very valuable results for our national security posture. we had to authorization bills, lots of great oversight. we have been professional even when we have disagreed and i t

is involved but as a member of the terrorist list here the cia cannot be involved cannot be working with the any case though if you do have you know connecting the dots to israel working with the m.e. kay and the cia doing whatever over here but certainly wanting to maintain that strong relationship with israel it seems there could be some problems i had. absolutely the in the united states. at least on the intelligence community in the united states and the diplomatic corps seems to want nothing to do with this group because this group worked with saddam hussein carried out attacks on americans carried out attacks on iranians while that was the control of saddam hussein and therefore has no credibility inside iran an illegitimate president so it's something the u.s. would want to get behind but at the same time this group is paying major figures in the united states a bipartisan coalition former homeland security director tom ridge former f.b.i. director louis freeh former new york mayor rudy giuliani former democratic presidential candidate howard dean alan dershowitz the you know

able to hold certain people responsible if they were committing atrocities or war crimes but with the cia program that's that's all very obscure and the u.n. special reparatory were first extrajudicial execution has requested. that that they have more transparency there just that we can even you know try to apply existing international law in terms of the autonomous systems there's not and their use in official military activities and there's no specific laws against there are laws against indiscriminate and disproportionate use of weapons and targeting of civilians and so if those systems failed to meet those requirements they would be illegal so there is a resistance to really implementing some of those but. i think what we really need is an international treaty and an international agreement that really codify. our world agreement that we don't want autonomy systems deciding who lives and that it's ok for a plane to fly itself but it's not ok for a plane to decide what to shoot. i think about it's a very good point because it's even scary to me now that you have somebody deciding from

e-mails are from stratfor the texas headquartered global intelligence company the phone described as a privatized or want to be cia now the company sells its analysis of global politics to government agencies and corporations but as the e-mails expose stratfor as a web of informant working covertly and overtly and a payment structure that includes secret offshore accounts here's what assad had to say at a press conference in london on the dump today. on the surface trust for presents itself as something else while it always started out as a private intelligence organization it has erected a culture. that it is simply a provider falls intelligence publications yes to governments and to military organizations but also to private organizations and even universities but the global intelligence files reveal that its roots as a private intelligence organization strong. and i'm not being dispense we've been in any manner whatsoever. now though julian songe would not disclose how we got a hold the e-mails stratfor admitted that in december they had a security breach and anonymous took credit at the time they publish names

new, which gave rise to the development of an intelligence capacity, breaking down of the walls between ourselves and cia, nsa, and the intelligence community, but i think always in the back of our mind, everyone at the bureau knew we could not let this happen again. on that day, i felt like that high school student who got the wrong assignment when the president asked that question, but it has been in the back of my mind since then. each president, for most on their mind is protecting the american public from another attack. >> we have a number of questions that deal with mission areas you did not mention specifically, given the importance of cyber security and espionage and counterterrorism. i wonder if you could say a little bit about two things, one being your sense of where the country is in respect to drug policy. the fbi is involved with drug policy along with other law- enforcement agencies, but more generally, how you approach the challenge of managing this broad range of responsibilities that the fbi has to continue to attend to, while at the same time prioritizing the missions you mentioned. >

> charlie: what does he want to do with the cia. >> he lovers it. i think wants to stay there for a long time. he looked at the military as a system as like a clock with you know. i think he looks at the intelligence community that way and how can we improve our efficiencies. having an everrin been a commanw what drives operations. >> is it improving efficiencies here and there or is it a wholesale change. >> no. he hasn't come in with an intent. my understanding is he didn't con in with an intent to chilly the whole krullure. >> charlie: what is the important thing you learned from him about leadership whether it's a military leader a corporate leader a political leader. >> it's very simple and i'd say that attitude is the most important quality you can have. you're 90% of how things go is your attitude, right. 10% is chance and he really believes that. he's had many hurdles in his life. nobody really thinks that because you look at this guy whose had this mete meteoric ca. people thought he was put out to pasture. at leave leavenworth. people thoug

still just as heinous as it always was you bet so while the goals remain the same it's no longer the cia but the u.s. agency for international development usa id and its partners spearheading this effort alan. weinstein one of the founders of the national endowment for democracy explained to the washington post in one thousand iu one a lot of what we do know was done covertly by the cia twenty five years ago and like the cia usa id the national endowment for democracy and the slew of similar organizations receive funding from congress millions and millions of us taxpayer dollars go every year into funding for political organizations from campaigns in different countries around the world that promote us agenda and most us citizens are unaware of the fact that that's how their money's being spent to meddle and influence and interfere in other nations affairs the concept of facilitating regime change to democracy promotion has garnered widespread criticism not just abroad but also here at home congressman ron paul once wrote it is particularly orwellian to call u.s. manipulation of foreign

about the cia. has claimed in the past to have disrupted this web site. the department of justice's web site. the u.s. senate's web site. what it does is, it kind of loads servers around the world to make requests of this site and essentially floods it with requests and it gets so many requests for access that it gets overwhelmed. when you try to get on it you're basically told it can't come up. so people now have tweeted, people affiliated with this group anonymous have tweeted claiming credit for this disruption. tango down. they're bragging on the twittersphere or whatever they call it that this has happened. the cia says it's looking into it. >> brian, thanks very much. a whole new world out there. >>> coming up, music to president obama's ears. we've got his campaign's play list and we'll play it for you. for a limited time, passages malibu will be giving away free copies of the alcoholism & addiction cure. to get yours, go to ssagesmalibubook.com. >>> what a campaign play list can tell you abo

this should be a one way traffic it should not be the prolonged arm of the cia because then it loses the confidence of the country as they go to but they can't receive it they can critically examine it and of course the cia intelligence can always try to fool everybody off of information maybe to. maybe this information and therefore they have to examine it critically if we in new york during the iraq crisis had accepted the intelligence yeah well they say and so it must be so then of course we would have failed the i think has been very cautious with about the information they received about iraq so the combination of the two recent national states and the inspectors who are there legally on the site is a very very useful well the world doesn't seem to be getting any simpler but we thank you for helping to make it a little bit more sense of it so mr blix trying much like. we have a local war lords will give him a note so we have a will to do the only groups the clothes and sluices all our views in the whole movie right enough to my mind it was like many of them out h. that wasn't for

steve ells, who founded the chain chipotle, graduated from the cia in 1990, and cat cora, known internationally as the only female iron chef on the food network's "iron chef america," also graduated from here in 1995. the grstone branch campus opened in st. helena in 1995 and has been continuously proding top-notch chefs. >> coming here to napa, california, there's fresh, almost any kind of ingredient, produce that you would want, fresh herbs. the herb garden here at cia is amazing. >> here students cultivate edible flowers, vegetables, and fresh herbs. >> it's learning how to plant, what to plant, when to plant it. i live about 1,000 miles up right now, so it's a little colder, and you have to realize, like, i can't plant tomatoes when they're planting tomatoes down here. it's just understanding the seasons and understanding when things want to grow and then they're gonna grow the best. >> students feel and i feel that by producing our own ingredients we can become better chefs. we'll get to learn a little bit about our food systems and how we interact with our food systems. we're in a unique

everyone who had an idea in the military, the biggest part of this, but also the cia, and the other 12 intelligence agencies in the united states, they grew to be on average at least two times than they will reach a bigger than they were on 9/11. -- bigger than they were on 9/11. the president said here is all this money to do more, but do not grow the federal work force. how can you do both of those things? the answer was hiring private contractors, for-profit companies, so you have this profit motive to night just to the government's business, but make it extra. that became a big dynamic here. >> so, not to be crass or disrespectful, but terrorism, or anti-terrorism became big business. >> absolutely. it still is big business. it became big business and it meant that the key players in government were the people that did anti-terrorism. that meant that in each agency you could put the label of counter-terrorism and what ever you were doing and get a lot of money for that. >> you said in the book we were always on yellow alert. then you say it is a government run amok. did it really g
