on a spy mission for the cia. he's hoping this video may help lead his spy masters to the hideout of one of the world's most dangerous terrorists. >> he can follow my mobile phone, the satellites, and whether i'm standing still or not moving around. >> the cia will get the video, storm says, only if he survives the mission. the stakes could not be higher. >> if it were leaked, that i was a spy, there was no way i could get out from that place, because i'm there by myself. i will get executed. in the worst possible way, either slashing your throat, behead you, or shoot you, hanging you up, crucify you. >> storm's target, one of the united states' most wanted al qaeda leaders. american-born cleric anwar al wa ki. >> we're not americans just for being americans. we are against evil. america as a whole has turned into a nation of evil. awlaki has like-minded followers. there is a great concern he is inspiring, even helping them to plan and launch terror attacks inside the united states. >> we will fight back, and inci

but the cia agents are angry.torm says they think he has gone rogue. >> again, i improvised for myself. i took control. >> aren't they supposed to be running you rather than you running them? >> in the ideal world, probably, yes. >> bottom line, the cia can't be picky. to locate and eliminate awlaki, they need storm, and they are willing to pay. if his plan works. you get a quarter of a million dollars from the cia when aminah crosses into yemen? >> that's correct. >> after seven weeks, storm sent back to vienna for another meeting with aminah. the next step in the match making. he shows her this video from awlaki. >> this recording is done specifically for sister aminah. the brother who's carrying this recording is a trustworthy brother. >> what's her reaction when she's watching that video? >> she's full of joy and tears. you do really know him, she says. you do really know him. >> i hope you are well. >> then storm has her record a video for awlaki in return. >> my brother, it's me, aminah, and i just want to t

castro thought they were all cia. three of them actually were bona fide cia agent. eventually donovan arranged a prisoner swap for cubans arrested in the united states, including one who had shot a nine-year-old girl in the back and killed her and had been convicted and put in jail. 427 americans. in these talks castro said how would we restore normal relations with the united states of america? donovan said, mr. premier, do you know how porcupines make love? [speaking spanish] what is that? the answer was no common he didn't know. donovan said very carefully. that is how you and the united states will begin to discuss restoring relations. i will help and do the best i can with that. donovan came back with this message that kennedy was interested. -- that castro was interested in better relations. curiously, the bureaucracy went into overdrive for instructions for him. they wanted him to go back to cuba until castro if he severed his relations with the soviet union and made it clear he was pulling his asians out of west -- agents out of western america we could talk

so he went for help back to the cia. the cia was worried too about their own exposure if link total agency became known -- to the agency became known. quote: it's our assumption that -- if our assumption that he may be named as a collaborator and that the resulting publicity may prove embarrassing to the u.s. so the cia came up with a plan. they would protect him. they would not hell tell the israelis, the justice department, they would not tell anyone else, any of the nazi hunters that eichmann's former aide was living a quiet life in new york city. but there was one condition for their protection. they told him that he had to drop that bid for the state department job because they couldn't risk his name being tied to eichmann and the cia. and in closing, let me read you just a little bit from a series of remarkable meetings and horrifying meetings to be honest that the c irk a held with -- cia held with him in 1961. and so on a spring evening in new york city, two cia officials who worked with von boll,ing in eastern e

>> i will start with the cia and the senior leadership of the cia.ut 100 years ago, famous german sociologist wrote the piece in which he said that national security bureaucracies will use secrecy to cover up their mistakes and errors, and as a result, and competent people will invariably rise to the top. this is a reason why use of secrecy has to be checked carefully. i think udall is correct. we see this very, very clearly in what has happened within our cia over the course of the last 10 years. people involved in this torture and black sites program rose absolutely to the top of the agency and they are still there. that are shocking. i think had the public known or had even most of the senior leadership in washington known what they did and their mistakes, they never could have achieved the position. i think it is obviously the case there should be a review of the echelons of the agency to remove those who made serious errors and broke the law. i think there's a very, very serious question about john brennan. you may or may not have been involved

to all cia activities in that country.ator dianene feinstein advising that going forward all principal members of the president's national security council should be informed of all significant covert action and programs that are being conducted. and not just the principles but the lawyers in their departments as well for obvious reasons. that's an important point. one of the things that's come out in the years since the bush presidency is there were officials warning what was going on with the cia torture program wasn't right. one of those officials was philip zellko deputy of state for condoleezza rice. he authored memos inside the state department in 2005 and 2006 toward the end of the torture program. memos that argued the program which had been under way for years was likely against the law. joining us now is philip zelikow, counsel to the state department. a trusted adviser to condoleezza rice. current lie on leave from the university of virginia where he's a history professor. thanks for being here. >> glad to be he

former cia director michael hayden disagrees. he says the information uncovered the identity of a usama bin laden's courier and eventually led to the raid that killed him. >> the information we got from detainees including the detainees who had undergone intense interrogation contributed to the wealth of knowledge that we needed to have in order to find the weighty's true identity. lou: joining us, spocks new strategic analyst colonel robert peters, great to have you here. it is pretty clear, the interrogation techniques which haven't been used for eight years, senator dianne feinstein be trade the cia as a rogue operation. your reaction? >> senator dianne feinstein knows very well that she is being not just disingenuous but dishonest. of course you don't water board someone and have him say usama bin laden will be standing on a corner of winslow, ariz. tomorrow at 6:53 p.m.. it is not like that. that is not our intelligence works. it works by you get connections. invest mosaic as its vast puzzle together and good instincts as we

>> the cia claimed authority over the manuscript. think they try to control the narrative. >> i spoke to ali sufan at our studios in new york. >> you are a guy who has followed terrorism as we know it today, this new incarnation of terrorism since the beginning. as a result, you sort of know a lot about the islamic state. let's talk about who they are. >> i think it's a manifestation of al-qaeda, the same group as al-qaeda the division took place between al-qaeda as we know it and the so-called islamic state after. the islamic state of iraq sent some people to syria in order to participate in the war, an established branch of al-qaeda and he decided he is loyal to al-qaeda central and that the operation in syria should be syriancentric and should focus on syria and it shouldn't be under the islamic state in iraq which is an al-qaeda affiliate in iraq. >> created a division between bagdadi and later, the self appointive calif for the muslim world and zawaheri and jawani. a polit took place between al nusra and the islamic state of ira

former cia, we never know about.of a major national security question our tactic et cetera if the u.s. starts putting out images of how -- i mean they put out some satellite images but really more graphic images of defeats of isis. >> we also as an open society provide most of the propaganda for the islamic state. you look at the images from awebu ghraib even the wikileaks, when they're firing rockets at targets in iraq and those are replayed and replayed and replayed and for an uneducated group of people like that live in the slums around paris, all they can do is identify with islam and that we are oppressing muslims, and that's the message that the islamic state is riding on and i agree, they are winning. >> to bob's point, martha what should be put out? >> yeah bob makes a very good point. i do really question from a brand building perspective whether or not there's something that can be done effectively to at least turn -- broaden the attitude toward the position of isis. >> and it's such an important point give

when the cia received this, were there any redactions already done? >> we had a team that we sent down to the state department to review. these are materials that had prooely been produced in part in unclassified form with redactions. we sent a team down to review the redactions, see which redactions could be lifted. as mr. ruben indicated, the documents are now less redacted than they were previously in part because other agencies like cia lifted their redactions. again, any remaining redactions that are cia redactions are pursuant to discussions that we've had with the staff directors here. >> so is the cia the only redactions that are there now? >> i can't speak to that, i'm afraid. >> mr. ruben, is that the documents, the 40000 pages, only the cia redactions? >> so the different agencies that have redacted in different areas cut across the entire interagency as all -- many agencies involved in foreign policy. i'm sorry, sir. >> no, i'm sorry. do we know what agencies redacted what parts of -- >> we'd be happy to meet with your staff to go over spe

the hearing in virginia took place ahead of the trial of former cia officer jeffrey sterling, who is accused of giving risen classified information, which revealed a botched cia plot to disrupt iran's nuclear program. risen has waged a seven-year legal battle against the obama administration's attempts to subpoena him and force him to reveal his source. it's unclear if risen will be forced to testify at sterling's trial. james risen's hearing comes as the administration has backed off on a threat to subpoena another journalist, "60 minutes producer" richard bonin, at a trial over bombings by al-qaeda. "the new york times" reports the u.s. attorney in manhattan preet bharara, has withdrawn his recommendation to subpoena bonin over interactions with al-qaeda's press office during a bid to interview osama bin laden in 1998.

jimmy carter made heavy use of the cia.ident when we started the anti-jihad out of afghanistan. president obama has made extensive use of the cia. all presidents do. so at the end of the day, what the president and the american people need to know is the cia will follow its legal orders and do what the president needs them to do. they need to make sure it is legal and refer to the highest authorities in the government competent to make those judgments. >> it is easy to say things on the campaign trail and once they get into office they realize it is a different reality. so night to have you here. you have to watch homeland. robert thank you for being with us. >>> she's compared herself to steve jobs but what is saving her job? what does the future hold for yahoo? that is up next. vere crohn's disease. it's tough, but i've managed. but managing my symptoms was all i was doing. so when i finally told my doctor he said humira is for adults like me who have tried other medications but still experience the symptoms of moderate t

cia. cia. although i continue to believe that the best way forward for our committee is to reach agreement on a truly bipartisan approach, i can no longer say that i am optimistic that this will happen. nevertheless, our door is always open and we will always be willing to sit down in the pursuit of the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. with that i yield back. >> mr. rubin you are recognized for your five-minute opening statement. >> thank you chairman gowdy, ranking member cummings and distinguished members of the committee. it's an honor to be with you and thank you for providing me with the opportunity to give testimony to your committee this morning. my name is joel rubin, and i'm the deputy assistant secretary of state for house affairs in the department's legislative affairs bureau. in this role, i serve as the department's chief liaison to the house. responsible for ensuring that the multitude of foreign policy issues that the house cares about, from fighting terror

probably to discredit the cia and blame the cia for the mistakes in as well as well intelligence. but what happened was they discredited themselves. because what they declassified -- which you can also see today in public -- is all those caveats and reservations that the national intelligence estimate had contained. and so they shot themselves in the foot. and i believe that was the beginning of the end of the president's credibility regarding the weapons of mass destruction. well, then there was a series of reports that kind of accounted and assessed responsibility in july of '04. the senate intelligence committee said that the national excellence estimate had not been supported by the underlying intelligence and removing the caveats from that white paper had misrepresented judgments to the public. on september 30th of '04 the iraq survey group issued their final report. they were 1400 defense department and cia inspectors sent to iraq about a month after the invasion 18 months earlier to try to find the weapons. and in september of '04, they said there are no weapons. and hussei

this is where places--this is the kind of place where the cia and u.s.dod and allies can provide a tremendous amount of anti-terrorism assistance, too. it is a different kind of threat that you're dealing with. >> fred, how do you hide an extremist army? aren't they in some ways easier to find in the age of drones, surveillance satellites and so on. could they be isolated and killed in a way that a small number of jihadist salted among a population in a major metropolitan area can't? >> well, boko haram may technically may be an extremist army, but finding it's fighters within the population is extremely difficult. they blend in with the population. this is a real problem because as you said this is a state within a state. boko haram is dominating northern nigeria and separating who is a boko haram member, who is violent who is a member of this organization is very difficult. it takes security services, a very large security service that would have to be put in northern nigeria, and the nigerian government does not have the personnel to do that. and to a

i think the discussion between the relationship and the cia and those who provide oversight on the cia continues to erode. it will be interesting what happens. >> which is it? did he make a mistake and apologize. the report said they didn't do anything and the cia director rarely apologized and he did to senator feinstein, so what do you make of it? >> it was unclear of whether the terms of the agreement were laid out. it depends on who you ask. republicans say nothing has happened here and democrats continue to talk about this as if there is more evidence that the relationship between cia and the senate democrats has deteriorated. >> and the battles are around keystone and immigration, two things the house is trying to send up the pike to the white house. do you imagine the president will take this as an opportunity to push back against those initiatives? >> certainly. i think the president isn't going to waste an opportunity to say, look when it comes to the keystone pipeline this isn't something i will sign and tip to remind republicans, if you want to see changes in immigration ref

a former cia, we never know about.ue of major national security question our tactic et cetera if the u.s. starts putting out images of how -- they put out some satellite images but really more graphic images of defeats of isis? >> well, poppy, you know, i agree, but we seeded that field of battle a long time ago, trying to change public opinion in the middle east. the cia should be in charge of that placing articles, placing videos getting inside the arab persian press. it failed at that frankly, and is no better today. no journalist in the middle east wants to deal with the cia. it was different in the '70s and before. so we failed there. we also as an open society provide most of the propaganda for the islamic state. you look at the images from abu ghraib ghraib. you know even the wikileaks, when they're firing rockets, targets in iraq. and those are replayed and replayed and replayed. for an uneducated group of people like the -- that live in the slums around paris, all they can do is identify with islam and that we

as of last friday cia had fulfilled all of the requests to date. specifically, since last june cia has certified the committee's secure work spaces granted access to sensitive compartmented information for 15 members of the committee staff, reviewed roughly 40000 pages of state department documents for cia equities and through the director of national intelligence provided the committee with finished intelligence products related to libya during the period in question. last friday cia began production of more than 1,000 highly sensitive documents requested by the committee. i understand committee staff will begin reviewing those documents tomorrow. with regard to committee requests to interview current or former cia officers we will work with the committee to respond to such requests in a timely fashion. working with classified information and interviewing covert employees can pose unique challenges. we are committed to providing the committee with access to the information you need while safeguarding intelligence, sources and methods. we look forw

attacks on paris let's turn to a former cia analyst.oining us this afternoon to weigh in on what we can possibly expect as the investigation continues. as you know there are some reports that hayat boumediene could have left france by now and could be anywhere including syria in yemen. we just had a report she's in turkey. she's like finding a need until a haystack it would seem. how can french authorities best track her down? >> french authorities are going to be going through lots of different types of intelligence. they're going to go through the 500 phone call records that we've heard about in the press. they're going to be going through records at airports. they're going to be going through intelligence assessments that have been written about various individuals and ties that she may have had both within france and potentially within turkey which requests are saying she was recently in. they're going to be going through this data trying to track her down and make sure she's not in touch with any one else. >> you know you're talkin

former cia operations officer joins me now. what can we do now that we have not done? >> we have to be more aggressive, more proactive in getting ahead of this thing. there are typically indications that folks are radicalizing that they're heading in a bad direction. we need to get folks off the street, more surveillance everything. >> we're having this ongoing argument, this debate in this country, about our protection, about the need for greater security, balanced against the need for preserving our freedoms. how do you strike that balance? >> obviously we do have to strike that balance. we can't turn the united states into a police state. but i don't think there is attention there you can't get passed. through professionalism and discipline and procedures. we can handle that. the point is we don't really have a choice. we either get ahead of this or we're going to spend all of our time reacting to incidents and cleaning up afterward. we can't afford that. >> you just heard that fascinating interview that uma did with bridgete gabriel. who i understand is suggesting

bob baer to you, not only are you a cia -- former cia operative, your wife was a shooter for the cia.ave this perspective of someone who know what is it's like to be a sniper. what's your take? >> well she spent a couple years just in training with weapons. her job, for instance, was to sit in a restaurant overseas and she had what's called a quick-draw purse and she'd do backups for meetings. and, you know, once something goes very bad and you have to pull out a wep on in a crowded place, mistakes will be made there will be second judgments and, you know, i think it's called target acquisition is very very difficult. and, you know, in times of war, people will call into doubt accounts. but, i mean i think what the point is with chris kyle and the s.e.a.l. snipers is they kept our embassy from being mortared from the shia area of sadr city. they put snipers up there and anybody that moved in sadr city with a weapon they shot them and that's why there are a lot of americans that made it through this. >> jeremiah i want you to talk about this tweet. you may have seen this tweet from mic
