seth jones, you spent a lot of time in afghanistan. people forget that what is going on in afghanistan is not an american struggle but a nato mission. >> sure. it's a nato mission and when it comes to targeting terrorists in afghanistan and actually neighboring pakistan as well. it's required sharing of intelligence across nato countries, not just the british, australians and canada and the u.s. but a wider swath. also, help in targeting. we've had european airplanes target taliban, al qaeda and more recently islamic state terrorist in afghanistan. so the u.s. simply does not have the resources to do it on its own and this is where countries with some capabilities to do it and with intelligence to share becomes absolutely crucial. we've seen it in other theaters including libya as well. nato has been very helpful for the u.s. >> john, you spoke out when ted cruz made his proposal to patrol and secure muslim neighborhoods, you and your boss bill bratton saying, don't ask the police to do things like that that are counter productive, mig

seth jones, welcome back to the program. so what does this attack today in kabul say about the taliban?b is it stronger than it's been, or, as abdullah abdullah says, is what it's doing failing? >> well, judy, i think what it shows is the taliban does have the ability to conduct attacks in most any part of the country, and they actually said this in their twitter feeds today and in their internet announcements after the attack of the purpose of doing this. at the same time, it's probably also worth noting that the taliban does not control urban terrain like isis does in iraq, for example. they don't control kabul. they don't control any major provincial capitals. so these kind of urban attacks are done more for psychologicaly operations rather than criminal of territory. >> woodruff: what's the distinction? you say they don't control urbaa areas, but they're able to pull off something like, this almost 30 people killed, hundreds badly hurt. >> what it shows, they do control a fair amount of rural terrain. they also have cell

united states postal service priority: you >>> we are back with phil miller and seth jones.when you were at the fbi you terrorized the investigation of a group of american juhadis. >> it was the only time i saw comparison in america between what we have here and brussels paris and birmingham, for example, that is an expatriot community. they come over and live in a closed society. not a great economic opportunity and a lot of cases a single mother home and a lot of those kids saw what was happening back home and got radicalized. i think that hurt us and the community. >> john, when you look, again, you've reviewed all these tapes of these radicalized juhadis. what stands out as, people look at the san bernardino shooting and said what made this happen? when you ask that of any shooter this is a random element. this is somewhat deranged. is there a pattern in. >> you know, with the inspired, the people just watching the isil, videos on the internet what we see is a lot of loaners, losers and a lot of people whose life isn't going anywhere. the ones who are communicating direc
