look what abu ghraib did to us. that was not organized torture. that was crime by a small number of american guards. but it mobilized the region against the united states. it cost thousands of young men to come from north africa, syria, saudi arabia, we saw them when they came in, we captured many, we picked up documents, their primary motivation was this perception that abu ghraib represented the american way in the region and they were absolutely exercised about this. where that becomes perception, it's difficult for us to be credible players in the region. >> i want to ask you about a couple of areas that involve your judgment and decisions made in your career particularly toward the end of your career. one had to do with pat tillman, former nfl player who was awarded the silver star. we snow that in fact he was the victim of friendly fire. a very harsh criticism in a book with you i wanted to go through something he said on this program. this goes back a couple years. and allow you to respond to it and what he says about you. his point is that

must have been but but the idea of torturing prisoners it was a terrible idea it was terrible at abu ghraib it's something that we don't need to be safe and i think she she was a victim of two lies in the movie the little lie is what you just said which is that. the actual pursuit and capture of bin laden was the result of torture which is imply. why as i process the film there are people that say that's not what the film says that's how i experience the film the bigger lie is the idea that we need to torture prisoners for us to be safe and it's very alarming because this isn't some abstract argument about the civil war it's going on at a time when there's a debate within the intelligence community within law enforcement within the military and the american public because of this propaganda effort that i believe acolytes of dick cheney have been in charge of has changed their opinion in two thousand and seven there was a poll that showed that fifty three percent of americans are opposed to torture under any circumstances of prisoners and by two thousand and twelve that was down to thirty fo

but they used abu ghraib to light the fire on that. and so if you're doing that or even if you're perceived as doing that, i hi it's extraordinary -- i think it's extraordinarily damaging to your cause long term. and you've got to think long term on all of these. you can't think what feels best today. >> one of the great things about -- many great things about your book is you tell us the historical figures that influenced your thinking. and i was really struck by one. here you are fighting in the middle of the desert in the 21st century, and you looked for inspiration and leadership to horatio nelson, a naval commander two centuries before. but you say in the book that he, his leadership style became the leadership style that made your network succeed. can you explain why horatio nelson is so important to us 205 years after the battle of that fall garre? >> absolutely. and i've always been interested in him, but the more i read about him, the more i understood the similarity. unlike some of its competitive navies, in in the british na

they used abu ghraib to light the fire. if you are doing that or even if you are perceived as doing that, i think it is extraordinarily damaging to your cause, long term. and you have to think long-term. you cannot think what feels best today. >> one of many great things about your book is that you tell us the historical figures that influenced your thinking. i was really struck by one. here you are, fighting in the middle of the desert, the 21st century. you looked for inspiration and leadership to horatio nelson, a naval commander two centuries before. you say in the book that he -- his leadership style became the leadership style that made your net worth -- your network succeed. can you explain why horatio nelson is so important to us 205 years after the battle of trafalgar? >> absolutely. i've always been interested in him. the more i read about him, the more i understood the similarity. unlike some of the competitive navies, the french or spanish, in the british navy, a british naval officer had to stop as a midshipman

done things morally in the world that raised questions about our leadership in abu ghraib and guantanamogot to the reinvent american power by striking a new deal with other nations in the world where there's a lot of doubt where america is going. hagel has been talking about this for years in a very judicious and i would argue a conservative way, but nonetheless, obama and hagel meet on that because obama could very well be the transformational figure in global fairs we all hoped he would be but in a way that is i would argue nixonian. i wrote a piece once saying obama needs to find his inner nixon by bringing hagel into his cabinet. at the finally has done it. >> what you just described with hagel would be sort of what the old conservative foreign policy ideology used to be. >> richard nixon or eisenhower which either side of the line. >> more interesting conversation but my clock is ticking. mr. clemmons, always a pleasure. thanks for coming in. interesting couple of days when the hearing begins on thursday. >>> developing now, you're looking at live pictures of secretary of state hill

we only published it because it came after abu ghraib. >> rose: why did they fire you?>> because i refused to apologize. and we went to war on the pretext of weapons of mass destruction that didn't exist. let's see the veracity of these pictures. here's what's happened since. about a year ago, members of the queens lancarbir regimen that we had accused came to court. some were court-martials. a commanding officer said his men behaved like a pack of wild animals during that period purpose they were brought to book eventually. nobody questioned the veracity of the story we publish with the pictures. what is the truth about those pictures? i still don't know. what i do know is no one has ever been prosecuted for faking them. no one has been brought to work for faking them. we have the word of the regimen, which has been discredited, and the government, which we know, told a pack of lives. >> rose: interesting way you were fired. didn't you get a call saying come to the office. we will have security walk you out. you will not go back to your office. >> i had been there 11 y

fighters who were very, very radicalized into iraq, the suicide bombers or fighters, was films from abu ghraibcause what happened is, when they saw the misbehavior that seriousness behavior, a small group of american soldiers, it fit preconceived notions and it fit propaganda, it says this is what we thought about the americans and this validates that it's true across. we knew it wasn't, but it precipitated this energy that came from north africa, syria, for a flood of young people who came into iraq. >> sean: and we'll have the truth behind the general's rolling stone interview that ended his career in an abrupt fashion and finding bin laden and general stanley mcchrystal was in that operation and he says there were missed opportunities in pakistan. and the general goes behind the scene on the hunt for the world's most wanted terrorist and the change he brought to the counter insurgency fight. >> i'm coming here to listen to my commanders and afghan partners, this is all part after listening tour. one thing i'm talking to them about is discussing the way we conduct counter insurgency. the cul

story became more complicated jack became a dark character and through the lens of guantanamo and abu ghraib, the story became a little less -- he just became less heroic character and more complicated certainly. >> in the case of "homeland" -- >> it is and is really serious that means of adopted in hebrew, and the show came to me through my agent to represent the company that did in treatment and that one was far more specific translation from the original. that one was about prisoners of war and then retreated after years of captivity and return to israel where it was kind of a rip van winkle family drama that only dealt with -- not only but substantially with the idea of what is the price of a returning soldier who's been in captivity and something very specific to that country and that culture, and when it came our way, alex and i raise my writing partner and he runs the show knew that that was going to be a farce -- it wasn't something the was going to be relevant in the way that was presented in the original. >> with a very -- it is based on the story that is very culturally resonant a

that's like saying abu ghraib is about lindy england and not the scale.assionately about the way sports sends this message for the country. it's like a stalking horse about how we're going to look at these different issue eshs and when you have a situation like congress does what the former representative tom lance does, "the theater of the absurd" with the steroid trials and they don't call -- they call one general manager. brian sabian of the giants and zero owners. >> it sends a message. >> and they break the union. >> there's a quote from my book at john mccain going after the player's union. so what do you think of the lance armstrong thing? lance armstrong, you really are going after the cop. and then it took some -- it actually, did, take some risk on the part of the institutional cycling to go after this icon. this guy who was the most successful athlete in his sport in history, a. and b, this amazing story of beating cancer and coming back and winning and, c, was a cultural phenomenon. if you look at 2004 campaign footage. john kerry, has a live
