providing some of the evidence that led us to locate, capture and kill bin laden. i do support enhanced interrogation. it's something that helps us to prevent attack and save lives. passed a new law authorizing waterboarding -- >> i think what we have on the books now in terms of the authorization of military force, we are still engaged in the war on terror. once the review goes through and we see what happens in terms of the usefulness of enhanced interrogation, the difference between the enhanced interrogation manual techniques in the army field manual, i think we can then decide what steps are necessary. i think it is important to remember the difference between with theield manual questions which are sometimes effective if you have the military engaged in a situation where they have a number of detainees and if one chooses not to answer, they can go down the line and ask the next. the u seven hands to interrogation, when it was not limited, limited to only three people who were waterboarded and used in a situation where we had to get information to save america

also we had a detainee who said well, one of bin laden is wise, not his youngest wife who bin laden hadith them, one of bin laden zweig gave farage a letter. you got to be thinking of when give them a letter if i don't know who he is. and it writes him since he could actually get to her, you know? so all of these little clues kind of fell into place and then the brilliant men and women at the cia who analysts and marketers were able to put it together. there was a partial to name for the courier that was already in the database out there. but we didn't know how important that was or how to find him. but i interrogated probably the shortest interrogation that ever took place, less than 10 minutes, a guy by the name of yasser, and after that when he moved all, almost immediately from debriefing, he said this guy that you're interested, al-kuwaiti has a speech impediment. when he talks he talks in arabic and posh dune. the agency was then able to, means, able to find out where that guy who spoke like that lived. and then the question is, because we knew he was living, what we've been told

liz: killing osama bin laden and captain phillips.li pirates, with your snipers took them out. >> they took the guys out because of threat they saw. nothing else they could do. they were obligated to use lethal force. that is when president obama in office for a few months. that took some guts to make that call to send us over there. liz: that is what i wanted to ask you. his legacy, having the fortitude to make very tough and scary decision. >> he did. he made tough decisions and he really used our special operations, special operators in the a lot of times, everything from intelligence that led to drone strikes in places like yemen and somalia, big mission in pakistan to get bin laden, capture richard phillips. very good about that. didn't increase funding. 60% of the marines, 50% of the navy unfavorable towards president obama. i talked to friends today, asking them about the same thing. they remember a couple years back, they would have to cancel training trips because of budgets, not enough fuel for the helicopters and fire certa

amy: and osama bin laden? what happened was hiding in plain sight.n who claims he killed osama bin laden robert o'neill did a long interview with esquire in 2013 in which he described what bin laden's face looked like after he shot him three times in the face and forehead. there it is, without using the word canoe, he describes this gruesome scene of splitting the top of his skull open into a v with the negative space in the shape of a v and bring matter exposed. 1.i make in the story is that seal team 6 been branded osama bin laden. it is an act of dominance. it is a form of sport. in this case, it does not necessarily mean that robert o'neill committed a war crime, but there's no question that the ritualistic manner in which and the frequency in which it occurred in the fact that it had no military necessity was criminal. amy: you believe that bin laden was killed unarmed and in the dark? >> absolutely. one of the things i story presents fairly conclusively is that -- my story presents fairly conclusively is that the order was to give him regardles

seth meyers makes a joke about bin laden. >> people think bin laden is hiding but every day from 4:00to 5:00 he hosts a show on cspan. >> even when we look back on the video tape of that night, there's no real depiction that there's something afoot. >> that was a little bit of acting going on there because my mind was elsewhere. >> i could see at the head table the president was laughing. it was a pretty remarkable poker face so i was as surprised, if not more surprised than anybody. >> the following afternoon the president and his national security team finalized plans on the secret mission. helicopters are in the air less than an hour later. and then at 11:35 that evening he makes a stunning announcement. >> good evening. tonight i can report to the american people and to the world that the united states has conducted an operation that killed osama bin laden, the leader of al qaeda. >> on the one year anniversary of the bin laden raid we had the rare opportunity to talk the president into a corner. the same corner of the very same room where he sat with his national security team an

. >> you also had this group of international religious extremists under bin laden who refer to themselvesda, and they had sought and gained safe haven in the taliban-controlled parts of afghanistan. they were essentially being hosted by the taliban. >> it was the paramount safe haven for al qaeda. which was the most dangerous terrorist group on the planet at the time. >> the taliban is ruling according to their conception of islamic law. the most literal fundamentalist conception that you can possibly imagine. >> the taliban regime was ruthless. there wasn't anything that they wouldn't do. these men would shoot women in the back of the head. they were the men who would beat you on the street with whips. they were the ones who were committing all the crimes against humanity in the name of islam. the people were in dire, dire straits, and they were living in abject poverty. they were suffering under the greatest, most oppressive regime that we've seen in modern history. it makes me feel angry, but i don't want to live just to feel angry. i want to do something to change it. that's why i wen

but we never had 100% identity that bin laden was there. even intelligence people had different gradings about whether or not we should or should not conduct that operation. when we finally decided that it was important to conduct the operation and we went to the nfc, you know, the president listened to admiral mccraven and what the operation would look like if we did this commando raid on this compound. he listened very carefully and raised questions. but then he kind of looked around in the nfc and said, what do each of you think? and went around that room. and i'd have to say that probably a majority of people around that table thought it was too risky. and for good reasons. i'm -- i don't even question the fact that they were raising concerns about the risks involved. there were risks involved. but at the same time, when the president asked me, i said, mr. president, i have an old formula i used when i was in the congress, which is to pretend i ask the average citizen in my district, if you knew what i knew, what would you do? and i sai

and i mean, all rational sort of starting position on neive would have to this could that the bin laden and house of saud close to that event. that all hands on deck for them. so knowing that, i was just wondering what the -- response is. >> okay thank you very much. >> question what we know and what we suspect. and first of all we don't know as citizens we don't know everything. but i think we -- what question do know is that -- wealthy individuals in saudi arabia have for years and decades been using their wealth to promote a radical version of islam. what we don't know some allege some suspect, but we don't know that the decision makers in the royal family are directly complicit in that. in other words, we know that elements within saudi arabia have promoted radicalism but don't know that royal family was in bed with -- osama bin laden now the question is why this fancying that the united states has to employ military power to solve every problem in the world? as a great question and there's no easy answer. but i think one -- one part of the answer and important part of the answer is

to question our -- i had the honor of being there during the run-up to the osama bin laden raid i saw what dedication the intelligence agencies and all of the different agencies that were brought to bear for that action gave for ten years looking for osama bin laden. and the sort of dedication. when you question that and you question their motives and you question their competence and you're going to be president of the united states and lead these men and women out there risking their lives every day for our security, it's just a dangerous thing. forget politically. for the nation. and for the people who spend their lives protecting us. i just don't understand it. i think it's a disgraceful action by the president-elect. >> john, some supports of trump might say look, he's pushing back. that's not necessarily an unhealthy thing that it basically raises the bar and raises everybody's expectations and makes people work harder. >> no question. i think after the iraq war experience, a healthy skepticism is warranted. john brennan who now serves president obama but goes back through other

the united states has conducted an operation that killed osama bin laden, the leader of al-anda.of so—called islamic state, the fight against which remains unfinished business. arguably, the low point for president obama in the middle east has been syria, which has been a humanitarian catastrophe sparking the worst refugee crisis since world war two. and the president's failure to act against president assad, despite much huffing and puffing, has come back to to haunt him. a red line for us is we start seeing a whole bunch of chemical weapons moving around or being utilised. that would change my calculous. but nothing happened, no action. i think it was a mistake not to enforce the red line. when the united states says, very clearly, that there will be costs and consequences for a certain action, i think it's important to follow up on that action. but i also wouldn't confuse that, enforcing the chemical weapons red line, with the notion that there was some interventionist fix to the syria problem. barack obama's policy towards syria is very much like the country's embassy here in

what were in these documents that bin laden had? information that our u.s.s had on afghan informants, the names of afghan informants, key secrets indispensable to u.s. army operations in afghanistan that put lives at risk. suddenly they got into bin laden's hands planning terror attacks in afghanistan. this is why the national security community is so up in arms that he's being released from prison. >> the irony that the u.s. intelligence agency is accusing wikileaks of influencing election ps has been to commute her sentence. >> the exact time the democrats in the white house, not just wikileaks, but making about donald trump citing of julian assange and assange was the vessel through which the manning documents got into terrorist hands. >> do you think there's anything more to hear, perhaps that president obama is trying to box president-elect trump in about dealing with this kind of information? >> i don't think so. i think there was a lot of pressure from the organized left, the a clu, other groups, because of transgender issues and manning's suicide att

are trying to rewrite this president's history, those whoties miss things like the fact that osama bin laden is no more, those who dismiss the fact that there's more effort to look at the issues of criminal justice reform, those people who also, i guess, don't like the inclusion of same-sex marriage. is this an effort to rewrite history and also focus on those people, the naysayers, on his accomplishments? mr. earnest: the president is primarily delivering a message to the american people. all americans. whether they voted for president obama or not. the president feels an obligation to talk about what he learned over the last eight year, what he's learned about the country what he's learned about governing the country and offer up his advice to the american people about the most effective way to confront the challenges that we see ahead. so that's the -- that's the goal and the president certainly could give a long speech, reciting the many accomplishments of his administration but that's now -- not how he's choosing to spend his time tomorrow night. >> how long is the speech? it's almost s

, the leader of al qaeda. >> the killing of bin laden, definitely a plus.he way he pulled out of iraq and afghanistan, the iran nuclear deal, the now dead on arrival transpacific partnership claimed by the administration as pluses. by his critics not so much. and his handling of syria, according to many policy experts, a big check in the minus column. >> i would argue that the decision not to make good on the american threat on syrian use of chemical weapons was the single biggest flaw and mistake of barack obama's presidency. >> richard haass is president of the nonpartisan council on foreign relations in new york. >> send a message to our friends and allies that we could not be counted on. i think he had a view of the world that somehow sort itself just fine, even if the u.s. made the decision to do lot less. that was simply wrong. what we've learned is that the united states dials down benign forces don't tim the space. >> i've lived long enough to know that race relations are better than they were 10 or 20 or 30 years ago no matter what some folks say.

joining me now for more is the man who shot and killed osama bin laden, retired navy seal rob o'neal,this is odd, he picked his venue with military members to say nothing happened. part of the problem is admitting have you a problem. the problem is still there. with attacks in san bernardino, and boston, i talked to police in san bernardino that physically pulled bodies out from under a christmas tree. these are dead people, with real families, and they are real attacked inspired by what is going on overseas. liz: you -- wha -- how would the victim family respond. >> i would bet they would be outraged, saying, i lost a family member, a loved one, something to something inspired by people overseas, al qaeda and isis, they are changing their tactics. they might not get 9/11 again but they are okay with that. if they keep doing that, america will use the term called war-weary. they call them lone wolf attacks they can fall back on this is not a major attack. but they i are inspired by the wolf pack, there are known isis cells in all 50 states, right now, they're waiting for something. th
