through the years, dave has actually helped cotton the cia to send him active-duty cia officers to nework to help them build these programs. the architect of what is known as the democrat fixed and come at the unit that eavesdrops in neighborhoods. that architect was an active-duty cia officer named larry sanchez. again, another unprecedented move. the cia is not supposed to be collecting or directing collection inside the united states. the lines have blurred after 9/11. after we started reporting on this in 2011, then cia director david petraeus decided it didn't look good to have the cia guy acted duty, sitting inside the municipal police department so they pulled them home and say now, if the cia and n.y.p.d. want to collaborate, they have to go through official channels. there can't be this sort of murky area. >> host: elisabeth for ari posts on our twitter feed, what do you think about the case against bruce ivan, which are reported non. first of all, who is bruce ivan's? >> guest: bruce ivan is the scientist who was about to be charged in the 2011 anthrax killing, but took his o

the cia does not get to fly first class as cia. all of these were in the culture at the epa that preceded president obama and continued presumably until january of this year. is that a fair care cassation of some of the problems that exist not just the individual, but the nature of the senior executive service sometimes been exempted from the rules because somebody think he's done a good job? >> the facts in this case speak for themselves. i think your carrot to the station is clearly one assumption that could be drawn. >> i'm taking this for mr. perciasepe who talks about 14,000 people at the epa. 14,500 have no idea how you get any of these perks. maybe 13,550, 600, 700. there has to be a very few people at the epa that has seen any set of perks similar to what mr. beale caught in the way of lack of accountability. it didn't exist just as his the gsa when someone was taking trips to las vegas and probably together is another region sees where it's not the person at the bottom. it's not if the person in the middle. it is these peo

we're's describing the cia's drone program. but what these documents make clear is the cia couldn't do what he does in pakistan and yemen and elsewhere without help from other agencies especially the nsa. >>> let's talk about the person your reports focus he on. hassan goul. the al qaeda leader in iraq, this was in 2003, goul was later detained after entering iraq again in 2004. after he was detained he was a crucial person in the whole process of finding bin laden because he disclosed bin laden used a courier always referred to as al kuwaiti. , at that point goul was transferred to pakistani custody and rejoined in 2007. one of the controversies in the whole bin laden assassination was just how interrogators got that information from goul that led to bin laden. what did you learn. >> hassan goul had this really odd uncanny ability to keep resurfacing in that post-september 11 story line and because of that crucial tip that he provided, the identity or at least the sort of non de guerre of the courier that bin laden trusted, hi

the cia. i was always irritated with how female ciaop ops officers were treated in culture. i was given the opportunity to write this book and i wanted a female character that was realistic and still entertaining. >> i want to talk about how real lisrealistic she is. you bring up the portrayal in movies and tv shows. we are seeing more female agents in home land and zero dark thirsty. thirty. are they not an improvement from the past. >> perhaps they are not highly sexualized. but again they tend to be sort of, for the most part, cardboard characters. and homeland is compelling tv. but notice i how she doesn't really have any friends. and for that with an ops officer not to have very good interperceninterpersonnel skillu wouldn't go very far. and jessica justaine did a beautiful job in zero dark thirty and was nominated for it. but as i understand it that character was a compilation of several officers. and there is always a team effort that goes into a successful operation that goes by the wa

i forget the other guy who was the head of the cia's assassination team and all that and where do we get off having cia assassination teams at what point in time did our country allow premeditated first degree murder of someone without in the rest a trial and a conviction things like commonplace now you've also said speaking at the cia that there are cia operatives working in every state and government first of all how do you know this and what are they doing there well i don't know what they're doing there how do i know this because there's a governor i was introduced to the person wow and they wear two hats they work at a high level of government but they don't come and go with governors or anything very very all the time they do one job for the state and they were a second to have as a central intelligence agent and what troubles me about badly is in the cia's mission statement it states there not to be operational inside the united states that's the f.b.i.'s job. you know speaking of extrajudicial assassination i wanted to get your opinion on this as the renowned journalist seymo

under his alleged cia cover. during this time he lied to several high-ranking officials about his work, including former assistant administrators as well. subsequent interviews conclude that the other epa executives became an open secret that he worked undercover for the cia and when gina mccarthy became an administrator in 2009, she was told during her orientation process and subsequently by the gentleman himself that he worked for the cia and additionally an executive assistant for callback he had told her that you need to stay there until his replacement had been covered and she responded that that is what movies are made of. when interviewed by the investigators, humidity taken off a total of 2.5 years for nonexistent work at a cost to taxpayers of roughly $300,000 and also stated that during these times he was working on the house riding his bicycle and reading books. concurrent with his frequent emphasis and absence from the epa, he received a cash award from including $20,000 on top of his salary and a ret

the cia is the same thing. so sure, there's always a continuing concern. not so much anymore about the first mole hunt on sub dick. it's a continuing concern and that's why both agencies have important counterintelligence functions. >> host: could happen today but haven't been in the 1960s? >> guest: sure it could happen today. the russians still have a spy agency. now it's pressure, not the soviet union. it's called the svr. they just changed the initials basically. from kgb to svr. actually, they do some spine, but they are more internal. it's actually a separate organization from the fsb. that gets kind of complicated. but they have a set up like we do. they have an external service like the cia and internal service, basically internal to the fbi. >> host: mario and bridgeport, connecticut. >> caller: okay, i had a comment and a question. my commonest first, there is a book by timothy called enemies, a history of the fbi that came out in 2012. the pulitzer prize-winning author. in it, they discuss the moles and may also discuss things such as how leadin

deepwater horizon oil spill national commission and as a member the cia external advisory board i first ask senator graham about the current government shutdown and how it compares to the one seventeen years ago while he was in office. flu shutdown in the mid ninety's was placed over budget matters so you have a difference in disagreement over numbers that's relatively easy to compromise one party says tam you have a sense a you agree on nine. this however is much more fundamental goes to the question of the role of government and particularly in a sense the nearly as such is the health cuter. i need hope the parties can come together but i think this could be a new more extended. government and we experienced. twenty or so years ago and you've said that you're convinced that quote there was a direct line between at least some of the terrorists who carried out the september eleventh attacks and the government of saudi arabia what evidence do you have to back up that claim. when as an example there's very extensive evidence of a situation in san diego where two of the hijackers the perso

let's have a look. >> as a former cia agent i learned how to shoot a variety of guns. so when techknow asked me to cover a story about the trend in bulletproof back to school supplies, it intrigued me. as a former operative and as a mom. back to school shopping it's always the most stressful time of year for parents like me who are not prepared and now we've got one more thing to worry about: some parents are buying items like this insert intended to bulletproof backpacks to their back to school shopping list. in the wake of the sandy hook shooting, it's no surprise that this year security is a big concern. i visited one company called hard wire, based in maryland, which manufactures bulletproof school accessories. >> where are we going now? >> onto the factory floor and this factory was built like, right in the height of the iraq and afghanistan conflict. it started as a vehicle armoring company. we moved into bulletproof body armor and after sandy hook we took that technology and applied it to school wear. >> inserts for school backpacks, white boards and stick on. t

mark, i'd like to go to you first on the question of nsa and cia working together., lack of transparency, implemented in secret out of public oversight lack legitimacy and are a problem. from your vantage point how big a deal is it these agencies are working in collusion. >> it's not surprising nsa and cia worked together or cia relies on nsa to vacuum up all sorts of information overseas. i think the documents in the post report quite interesting details how they work together and specific people they have gone after. i think that this all feeds into that combined with u.n. report the extent of use of drones overseas. also whether there's going to be increased international concern about the american -- the cia's use of drone strike. coming at the same time and feeding international concern about drones. >> richard, you've done a lot of reporting from the middle east where a lot of these drone strikes are focused. that line if the report, drones come from the sky but leave the heavy footprint of war on the communities they target. how impactful is this u.n. report

a very strong relationship between the cia and libyan intelligence. it would be through that channel because it would be considered the most secure. some sort of indication of our intense interest. but when it came down to the operation, it was handled entirely unilaterally. maybe the intelligence services operated and provided some of the personnel to be able to do it. he was turned over to us and the united states was taken out that way. >> this conjures up the memory of may 2012, the capture and killing of osama bin laden in pakistan. they clearly were not in the know of what happened and this is clearly a different case. >> it is difficult to cooperate with a secret service. cooperating with islamists.m of- they were very pro could not see. the former secret service is now on trial and we are asking him to get back for this terrorist attack. i don't know what you would describe in which you can trust them to make a sense of pressure -- >> i can respond to that and i agree with you. one of the top priorities in my opinion based on what i know when

in there something is done by the cia in a covert operation then ordinary rules don't apply of course no longer let me tell you right there because they knew why and brought up a very interesting point with the idea of war crimes realistically do you think anyone will actually be held accountable for these things that have happened and yemen and pakistan and other countries. well there's a lot of ways to hold somebody accountable i do not believe is likely that u.s. officials will go to the hague after all we saw during in all of the war crimes that were committed in iraq in afghanistan no u.s. official were ever held to account the man who is going to bed i. wouldn't bet that but there's other ways or somebody accountable the first thing he thought the crime . the that's something that we could do we could do or you know i need government to answer on the record you know does conduct secondary strike. will be united they promise not. and then will they be held about accountable to that congress is he who are ten year congress and a country conduct you know affected oversight of the b

how much of what you learned in the cia is part of this fiction, this spy novel?t spy craft. and i tried to bring everything, places i've been, people i've met and put it into "blowback." >> i got the impression you wanted a realistic portrayal, quite often we hear about guns and sex with female agents nothing wrong with that. >> they're great. >> i would imagine they're great tools, valerie. >> but not together. >> i got the impression you can trying to show something else. true? >> absolutely. vanessa pierson who has the initials v.p., well, you're right, whenever i've seen female operations officers from the cia portrayed no matter where it is, books, movies, i roll my eyes. they're really paper dolls. they're overly sexualized. overly physical. they're cartoon officers. i wanted to a an ops officer -- >> which means what? >> an operations officer. >> no, realistically, in your mind that means? >> in my mind shows that the job is lonely. loves her job. trying to figure out and navigate all of that. because it really is kind of a crazy career which maybe you don

president has been part of a declassification of cia documents. the subject of bosnia is close to president clinton's heart. he said intelligence was vital in every decision his administration made. >> like all of history, there are many questions still pending, but the peace has held because a long time ago, with a lot of other things going on, good people were given good information and made good decisions. >> war in bosnia began almost 20 years ago following the break up of yugoslavia. the serbians fought with croats. it ended in 1995 with the peace acords. the declassified documents, more than 2,000 pages of them were released early by the cia, but despite the hype, there were no significant revelations. to many in the intelligence community, it's about trans passenger and accountability >> it's a healthy thing for those who work these issues in the heat of the floor back in the '90s to now be able to stand back and look at those documents and see what insight we have about the decisions that were made, the event did that we covered, the way w

through the years dave has actually helped gotten the cia to send an act if duty cia officers to newyork to help build these programs are the architect of what has been known as the demographics unit. this is the unit that eavesdrops in neighborhoods. that architect was in that duty cia office named larry sanchez in another unprecedented move in american law enforcement. the cia is not to be collecting inside the united states but the lions club word after 9/11. after we started reporting on this in 2011 then cia director david petraeus decided it didn't look good to have a cia guy sitting inside of a uniformed police department so now if the cia and nypd want to collaborate they have to go through official channels and there can't be this sort of murky area. >> host: elizabeth ferrari posts on our twitter feed what do you think about the case against bruce ivins which you have reported on? first of all who is bruce ivins? >> guest: bruce ivins is the scientist to us about to be charged in the 2011 anthrax killings but he took his own life beforehand. you know i think the fbi and the

they are from the fbi, cia, the justice department, in the nsa. critics of the nsa are using a state highway cleanup program to protest the agency. the group restore the fourth has adopted a stretch of highway that runs past the agency's massive data facility in utah. to the sully tribune, that means signs bearing the group's name, which is a reference to the fourth amendment, will be displayed outside the nsa building. restore the fourth says they will carry more signs protesting nsa spying as they pick up litter near the data center. secretary of state john kerry and afghan president karzai have agreed on the key points of the deal that would keep u.s. troops in afghanistan the on next year. but the two sides remain at odds over the u.s. assistance that its troops be guaranteed immunity from prosecution under afghan law. speaking in kabul, kerry said the issue is a deal breaker for the united states. meanwhile on sunday, u.s. soldier was shot dead in southeastern afghanistan right man wearing afghan security forces uniform. the shooter reportedl

the program was established with the help from the cia, which is far from domestic spying. in a letter, the coalition says -- two african-american customers have accused the high-end new york department store barney's new york of racial profiling after they were detained for making expensive purchases. rayon christian, 19, was arrested moments after buying an expensive else. despite showing his id and debit card to undercover officers, christian was told the purchase was suspicious because he cannot afford to make it. lawsuitn has filed a against the store. another african american chopper has come forward saying she endured a similar experience earlier this year. the national action network has vowed to picket barney's alessi alleged racial profiling stops. two people were arrested the city college of new york and the protest at the closing of a hub for student activism. the student and community center was abruptly shut down last weekend after school officials said they needed the space to expand the campus career services offices. student activist said they believe the c

eleven attacks and he says he's now suffers from major health problems after being tortured by the cia. immediately upon being transferred to guantanamo bay mr abu cheek went to the medical staff and complained that he had suffered a head injury while in cia custody nothing was done to follow up on that there's no investigation into someplace else told military commissions there's no investigation into the possibility of a federal civilian court there are still a significant number of people who are on hunger strike at guantanamo bay who are being force fed and sometimes hospitalized the most important question is the silencing of the defendants that they can't tell anyone whether that's the un special rapporteur on torture or members of congress and their staff who are investigating the issue they can't tell anyone about what happened to them in cia custody that's what we're challenging because if we can break the silence on that question there could be real movement on guantanamo bay. while we're trying to shed some light on what is actually going on inside guantanamo and every week

the cia says you are wrong in your film. we know the real information that we are not going to give it to you. codepink, they wrote an interesting piece headlined " $40 million allocated for drone victims never reaches them." can you explain what this fund is? >> i am not sure anyone can. i think that was part of the point of what they released. they discovered all of these calls for compensation, there have been $10 million every year for the past four years earmarked by the foreign affairs budget to pay compensation to victims. >> the cia is not acknowledging their engagement. nobody is in knowledge and that they are carrying out drones tracks, so when you see news reports like this morning, the u.s. never comments. it is always an anonymous figure. an anonymous source from the pakistani intelligence, american intelligence, anonymous source from the administration. these sources just say yes, militants were killed. of thenew report pakistani government downplaying the number of civilian casualties, any coincidence that thi

all over the world and it's prompted a new type of war where drone operation drone operators in the cia trailer in nevada are completely disconnected from the actual devastation caused by these strikes and as if the thought of a killer drone isn't scary enough a recent article by joshua found alludes to the fact that drones could soon make calculated attack decisions get this on their own yup it's the dawn of an automated killer robot so these ones can fly this news arrives on the heels of condemnation by human rights watch and amnesty international who deem some drone strikes as war crimes not to mention the questions over privacy and civil liberties by using them here domestically now knowing that the u.s. flies these things around the world has prompted other countries to create their own drones there really is like another arms race the fact of the matter is that the longer the u.s. continues to pretend that drone strikes are the most effective way to fight terrorism more terrorists will be created if we want to continue to spread democracy and let this be our foreign policy then we
