there are connections with regard to anwar al awlaki and the major. in fact, if you read the book "dirty war" it talks about anwar al awlaki mother and father wanted him to meet with their son because they felt he was drifting. >> sergeant ray, you know better than anybody, you have no doubt this was a terrorist incident? >> absolutely. to call it anything else i think would be criminal. >> congressman wolf, detail the number of warning signs by hasan. what lessons do you think can be learned about this case to prevent another tragedy like this? >> well, the military and the department of defense should not be politically correct. i have talked with doctors who practiced with the major. they say he was advising young men and women who served in afghanistan and iraq to turn themselves in a. the military knew that this man would be radicalized. at walter reed, but they knew. i think it would be political correct when this act took place, the head of the army made very strange political statements. when you see something like this, you've got to deal it

personally familiar with any effort to recruit app war al-awlaki as an asset.oes not mean to say there was not an effort at some level of the bureau or another agency to do so. >> reporter: the reason all of this matters is really twofold. one is that anwar al-awlaki, about eight years later, was the first american targeted for death by the cia, but perhaps more significantly, the feds had anwar al-awlaki in their grasp in 2002, and they let him go. and think how history would be different for those families at fort hood, because the accused shooter, major nidal hasan, was in active contact with al-awlaki before that shooting. jon: yeah. he was arrested as part of that prostitution investigation, right? >> reporter: yeah. he had a very long rap sheet, and he was allowed into the pentagon shortly after 9/11 to host lunch on moderate islam at an executive dining room, something that most members of our service will never have the chance to get inside of. jon: yeah, that's true. catherine herridge, thank you. >> reporter: you're welcome. heather: right now preside

anwar al-awlaki became very much a very popular figure.essentially there was an understanding that once anwar al-awlaki fled the united states and went to yemen he became the face of aqap and what he she continued to be the number two guy behind him to operationally keep that going. the two of them had a different philosophy than the older generation of al qaeda-led by bin laden and zawahiri. initially zawahiri and bin laden had a centralizcentraliz ed command and control where they were in charge where the operatives would submit there were guilty to them and they would only execute operations that they had authorized. again they wanted 9/11 style attacks with hype profile iconic attacks. they attacks. they felt it was demeaning for them to get down and do things like smaller ied attacks. the younger generation led by led by wahashi said no. they said we haven't had a successful attack so they had a rift between the older generation and the younger generation and again when enlightened that killed the iron if bin laden was he actually for

where the so-called underwear bomber got his training and where radical american cleric anwar al-awlaki directed terrorist attacks until he was killed in a drone strike two years ago. but there's a new boss now. now the coordinator of worldwide attack planning. intelligence showed this latest plot could involve multiple targets, both inside and outside yemen. thus, the long list of embassy closures across the muslim world. this after billions of dollars in security measures that can stop a truck. and protect from blasts. today's warnings clearly fall out from the deadly attack on the mission in benghazi. since then, 151 new diplomatic security positions have been approved. 1,000 additional marines for embassy security, although not yet in place, and more than 500 marines and soldiers now part of a quick reaction force to respond to attacks in africa. tonight officials are hoping that closing down these facilities and improving security in the region will avert an attack, but there's no certainty that will work. >> martha, what does the defense department advise families who have friends

"the new york times" says that nsa computers search nearly all cross-border text data for dewords and save e-mail or instant mess imagines so analysts can examine

that was during anwar al-awlaki's time.en has been a spot we've looked at for years. you've been all over the world, you've looked at terrorism since 9/11. what do you make of this reaction and what it really says about the state of al-qaeda and the quote-unquote war on terror today? >> well, i still think you have to assume al-qaeda is strongest as a group of localized movements in individual countries. so, yes, we have to worry about it here, but the specific places where we've had threats of a scale that really could cause dozens or hundreds of deaths in recent years, they've been in a few particular countries. so al-qaeda still has some meaning as a common ideology, with a common figurehead leader. in this case, apparently, he's trying to be an operation alleyeder, zawahiri. but for the most part it's broken down into these individual cells or units in places like iraq, syria and yemen. and it's still very dangerous, obviously, it's hugely dangerous to those countries. and to anybody who's there including americans whic

anwar al awlaki, and the underwear bomber in detroit, to place bombs on -- i forget if it was u.p.s. or fedex planes. we took out some of the senior leadership in pakistan and elsewhere. the obsession with drones, i find a little odd in the sense that the question is the war. al qaeda declared war on us in 1996. they vice president chan they haven't changed their mind. we're trying to defend ourselves and go after them. it's not just drones. we, of course, have done what we've done in afghanistan. i mean, would it be better if we were launching cruise missiles at us. they declared war against us, they are threatening us. yes, you know, violence begets violence. but when you have people out there specifically plotting to attack us, i don't think we can sit back and say, well, we don't want to risk making other people mad. al qaeda senior leadership and al qaeda in the arabian peninsula, you know, are actively plotting against us, we need to use the tools that are in our toolbox to disrupt those plots. >> congressman, any thoughts on how long the embassy closures will persist? >> you k

presented by prosecutors, wouldn't allow, for example, evidence that hasan had corresponded with anwar al awlaki, the american-born cleric associated with al qaeda. is that because the judge wanted to give less of an opportunity to attack the record on appeal? >> that certainly could be the case. you know, it's the judge's responsibility to keep a clean record and to avoid any kind of errors on appeal. so i feel that she was limiting the scope to, rightly, the elements of the offense and the evidence that was needed to prove up the elements. >> we'll put a graphic up on the screen. the judge obviously knows the record of appeals. look at this. there are five condemned soldiers currently on death row, but military appeals courts have overturned 11 of the 16 death sentences. no active duty soldier has been executed in the system since 1961. so in the military system, it's hard to put somebody to death, isn't it? >> well, it is. the appellate courts look very, very closely on those cases. often times it's infective assistance of counsel, but, of course, that's not an option in this case. >> yeah, b
