back to that anwar again open for exploration.me alaska congressman don young arrived. he once told "rolling stone" magazine, environmentalists are a bunch of waffle stomping harvard graduating intellectual idiots. they aren't americans and never been americans and never will be americans. he showed his contempt for environmentalists at a hearing on friday. he skipped the testimony of award winning historian and expert on alaskan universe dr. doug brinkley from rice university. when he did show up he made it clear he had no intention of learning from brinkley's expertise. the congressman didn't even get the professor's name right. listen to this. >> i will tell you, if you ever want to see an exercise in futility, it's this hearing. that side has already made up its mind. this side has already made up its mind, and the -- i call it garbage, dr. rice. >> it's dr. brinkley. rice is a june vaersity. you went to yuba college and couldn't graduate. >> you just be quiet. >> why? >> you be quiet. >> you don't own me. i pay your salary. >

guest: you raise some interesting issues, but i do not believe anwar al-awlaki was a cia plant. it is definitely true that the u.s. try to recruit him when he came in from yemen and flipped him to be a witness against another indebted terrorist. -- another indicted terrorists. he refused as far as the drum, the justice department wrestled -- read -- he refused. as far as the drum attack, the justice apart and wrestled with this. they did not take the decision lightly. i do not think you will see any american killed by a drowned in the united states, but if another anwar al-awlaki emerges that his u.s. citizenship and sanctuary in yemen, and starts sending terrorists into the united states to carry out acts of terrorism, i guarantee you almost any president will take the legal prerogative of trying to eliminate him. at that point you have to understand the person is outside of the united states, they have renounced citizenship, and are not eligible to the constitutional rights you and i would be. host: james, a republican. caller: i am running for united states senator. there is

>> most significant thing to me, this pimentel was another accolite of the anwar alaki. drone strike but he's been responsible also -- our viewers will remember the ft. hood shooter also inspired by him. >> yeah. >> the christmas day underwear bomber also recruited and inspired by the yemen branch of al qaeda. and so, you know, what it means is even though you kill and take out the leadership, the "inspire" magazine and website that still have this information act as a vehicle by which the people continue to be recruited and trained. >> all right. fran, stand by. we have deb feyerick on the line and let's listen in to ray kelly for a minute. taking questions and get back to them. >> gave us information about this individual. and we gathered that information while he was being surveilled. >> yes, miss? >> yeah. it was mentioned that they worked with federal counterparts in this case. can you explain where involved in this, how? >> i can't hear. >> were the freds involved and how? >> yes. the federal government is fully informed of this case. we had to act quickly yesterda

pagel is have you been to anwar?>> i have not, but we have members in alaska that we represent in washington, d.c.. >> i understand that. i haven't. i'm interested in those who have. that's ms. james who lives in part of anwar, and mr. brinkley who recently visited there. first of all, you are, of course, a member of the gwich gwich'in, and when we talk both the rights of the natives, my first question is are you part of the settlement? >> our village, and we went with ira now as free title and got 1.8 million acres of land. >> where are you in relationship to anwar? located -- >> about 75 miles south of coastal plain. >> okay. so you're actually -- i saw pictures of it. there's the coastal plain and the mountains. are you in the mountain section? >> oh, the brooks range is a natural -- this one is gwich' in. one of the interesting points with all the tribes coming before us is the fact that the federal government after entering into this and normally retains the subsurface right to the regional corporation was able

prosecutors say he also drew inspiration from al qaeda operative anwar al-awlaki. and al-awlaki's death in a september drone strike was a trigger point for pimentel says new york police commissioner ray kelly. >> the death of anwar al-awlaki is what motivated him and made him increase his tempo significantly. >> reporter: police say this is the 14th terror plot against new york since 9/11. it's not as serious as those targeting times square and the city's subways but the pimentel case does underscore the persistent threat from home-grown lone wolves living in our midst. it's important the note the f.b.i., which handles almost all terror cases, declined to get involved with this one. sources tell us, scott, federal officials privately questioned the strength of the evidence and pimentel's ability to carry out any kind of attack. >> pelley: bob, thank you very much. in egypt it turns out the revolution isn't over, at least 24 people have been killed in three days of new rioting. protesters overthrew a dictator back in february. now they say the army has been too slow

the killing of his sort of mentor anwar al awlaki taken out in a u.s.-led drone strike back in september. this is somebody who had been on their radar for quite some time. he talked about traveling to yemen. he is dominican republic originally but is now a u.s. citizen. his talk was really so radical that according to police, even like-minded friends became very, very nervous. he wanted to change his name to obama hussein on behalf of osama bin laden. he wanted to change it into osama hussein on behalf of osama bin laden and saddam hussein. his target was allegedly u.s. servicemen, army personnel, the marines and the police got very nervous when this talk morphed into action. federal agents, the fbi was not involved in following and tracking this plot. and that's something we're probably going to hear more about tomorrow. fbi agents say this was really an nypd-led investigation. by their counterintelligence division. but this man, jose pimentel, he planned on putting bombs in mailboxes, post offices, police stations. there were three in total. if they h

anwar al awlaki was somebody that some people thought he had serious religious credentials. he wasn't very well known in the non-english speaking world. the fact he spoke in english meant he could communicate with someone like jose pimentel who i'm sure didn't speak arabic and whose lectures pimentel was probably listening to. certainly if he was taking the extreme step to make a bomb to avenge awlaki's death. awlaki has shown up in a lot of these cases in the united states in britain, anywhere in the english speaking world. he's certainly not somebody who has much influence in the muslim world writ large. he is somebody who was able to articulate al qaeda's ideas in a colloquial english and then his kind of acalate samir kahn who also died in a drone strike. wrote this magazine "inspire" that was the inspiration for the failed attack in the new york area. >> peter bergen and deborah feyerick. we're waiting for the arraignment of jose pimentel. it's happening in manhattan. as soon as we get video of it, we'll bring it to you on cnn. but there's other news to cover tonight. >
