alisyn: mr.assador, how do you think we picked up on this new chatter, if that's what it is that tipped us off? >> well, i think this is very significant given the controversy over the nsa's programs and foreign intelligence gathering. this is actually what nsa does. we don't know specifically, obviously, where the intelligence came from, but all that monitoring of e-mails and internet web sites and phone calls, this is, this is what american intelligence is supposed to do. we spy on foreigners. and i think the greatest criticism one can make of our foreign intelligence gathering is that there's not enough of it. alisyn: let's turn our attention to iran. the president-elect of iran had some choice words for israel, and if we were hoping for some toned-down rhetoric, it looks like we'll be disappointed, because he's just said that israel is an old wound on the body of the islamic world that should be removed. that was his quote. what are we to make of his statements? >> yeah. well, that's, that is
