our national correspondent catherine herridge is following these developments. what is the assessment of the intelligence community on this? >> based on conversations this morning, it seems clear officials are fairly confident that one of his sons is probably dead. they do not have a high confidence level yet, but i am told they are certainly working along to reach that conclusion. to do that, they typically need some kind of dna or dental records, which may be problematic in this case because what i have been told was that he was probably killed earlier this year in eight predator drowned strike. he would have been collateral damage. jon: so the thinking is that they were going after an al qaeda leader or another suspect and he just happened to be in the group. >> based on conversations i had, he happens to be in the area. he was in the wrong place at the wrong time. to tell you more about saad bin laden, until recently has saw shelter in iran until he returns to travel pakistan. some see him as an important link between al qaeda and proper in tribal areas and

january showdown but there is a debate about what the meaning of closed is, and with all of that, catherine herridge is live on the hill. what does it mean? >> 1 contacts as it may depend on what your definition of closed is. if it means there is no detainees left at guantanamo, or if they will stay there until trials are over. the white house did not shed any light on the issue, insisting that closure just means closure. >> we're not interested in changing the name and ownership. the reason why it is so important to do this is the symbol that it has become throughout the world. >> in a background briefing with officials, they could not explain what it would mean, and one official said they are having to have a hard time getting there had around the question. only 12 printer -- prisoners have been transferred out, causing a complex issue. they represent nearly half of the track record, including those connected to the uss coal attack. they were free or mysteriously escaped. and last shepard: week at guantanamo, you got an update on how many would be prosecuted. of 200 or so, how many? >> the chief p

catherine herridge follows this very closely. she joins us with more.ive us a bit of context here. do all of these things fit together in any way? >> what we have been able to surmise is that in the last few months, there have been more attacks where americans are featuring. the name translates as the american. in this video, you can see him sitting in the trees of east africa in somalia with a group that translates as a the mujahideen youth. he is telling people that they need to give up their western lives and come to east africa to join this jihadist movement. this is one of a couple of days we have seen from this young man. based on the conversations i had, he is well known to the fbi and he is in fact an american citizen who has been in somalia for several years now. martha: this is such a disturbing development. i do not know if you could call it a trend at this point. we have heard for so long that al qaeda was like nothing more than two indoctrinate americans who have american passports. they could get back into the country quite easily to pull

catherine herridge has the story from d.c.ou just spoke to the congressperson making the serious obligations. what did she say? >> the congresswoman showed fox a time ago that she believed leon panetta killed this covert program and that it was, in fact, in her opinion, deliberately kept hidden from congress for the better part of several years. and now they're calling for hearings into the matter, and she says she believes that the cia has an attitude problem. let's listen. >> they were contemptuous, and it was an annoyance. >> one intelligence official is aggressively disputing this. he said a program went on and off but never was used in practice. rick: she is latest in a line of democrats saying the cia misled congress or flat out lied to them over the years. not all democrats are on board, right? >> right. in the last 24 hours we've seen at least toward democrats in the house intelligence committee come forward, either by speaking to us or newspaper interview, saying that they did not sign this letter sent to the cia alle

catherine herridge is live in washington. where do things stand right now?>> well, based on reporting earlier today, it involves a review process . 229 remain, half from yemen, who have a poor track record. in the past, people who have been picked up some alleged terrorists, are either elected by the government or mysteriously escaped from prison. so that is not a good option at this time. shepard: you have to set a deadline or nothing will happen. you have run into a series of facts which do not allow them to do what they know they should do. they are just kind of stock. -- stuck. >> it is one thing to run for president and another to have the burden of national security on your shoulder. at least 6016s at the prison have libel cases -- viable cases, 60 detainees. the attorney general believes it will be able to close a prison. >> we will be able to close of facility on the dublin we have been given. >> this is a different perspective than when i spoke to people last week representing the terrorists. they say it has been one request for extension after anot

catherine herridge is live in washington with more on this. catherine? >> yeah, thanks, rick.n this book al qaeda lays out some of its greatest fears that the network has a major spy problem, that its own people are diming them out by providing information that identifies training camps and safe houses. the success of the predator campaign is well documented, taking an operative to run the logistics and the training for future attacks. in some cases the intelligence appears so exact a jeep or a specific floor in a saint house. >> i don't want to discuss how we get it but they obviously think that it's coming from within their own ranks, within their own decision people, within their own warriors or support people. and that is -- and it means that the villages are turning against the taliban and al qaeda. >> it's this fear that spurs the al qaeda writers to write. gllt book suggests it carries humming bird like these. lock ton before kill. asked if this is the method used by the u.s.? >> i am very surprised to see them is, and that's all i want to say. i'm very surprised to see

from gitmo is catherine herridge. >> good morning.of where these guys are standing right now, earlier this year they sent this letter to the court, and in this letter they say you accuse us of killing 3,000 americans, but we want you to know that we don't consider this an insult, we consider this a badge of honor. the first issue is whether two of the conspiracies are so mentally ill that they are not it in to stand trial, and the last few minutes we've already had drama which is pretty typical. the two men we're being told are refusing to come to their own hearing. the second issue is whether the court will give the administration another three months to delay the process until september until the review is concluded. also before this trip we spoke to the longs. they're from leesburg, virginia. both of them lost somebody in 9/11. melissa lost her boyfriend who was a new york city firefighter and brian longer lost his parents. brian told us that being in court for him would be a real challenge. >> i worry sometimes that i'll feel a lo

catherine herridge got a copy of this book and she is live in the dc news room on mother's -- on a beautiful in washington. >> it is a shame to be inside. this book is one under 50 pages long, monitoring web sites, and the bottom line at the book is it is a growing body of evidence that the network is under pressure that this is a sustained campaign in trouble pakistan. -- tribal pakistan. some of their own people are providing operation, not only other camps, but there statehouses. -- they're safe houses. one interesting element of the book is it contained a photograph of infrared devices that are the type of thing that you could put inside a safe house or an a person's pocket and a predator drunken log on to the devices right before the kill. -- a predator drone can lock on to them. what it says in this book is that if you find one of these devices, is all the proof you need that these guys are spies and you ought to be able to take them out. shepard: thank you, friend. have a great day. details are just coming out on the death of steve's at -- steve fossett, the international big money gu

shepard: catherine herridge, thank you. we are waiting for president obama and the prime minister of iraq will be speaking at the rose garden at the white house. we were given notification that we were less than two minutes away from this. just a couple of weeks ago, we returned control of the iraqi cities and towns. our people are out of the big cities and towns of the small towns. there on the bases as a backup to the iraqi forces. we know that some violence is to be expected. the question is whether the iraqis were ready to take control. we will hear from the prime minister of iraq. we will hear more about our relationship going forward. the hope was that we would have a partner in the middle of the middle east after the iraqi war. i guess at some point it will end eventually. if they take questions, i'm pretty confident that president obama will get questions about the health-care debate. in a short time, we will speak with one of president obama's press spokesman, bill burton. this event will take a short amount of tim

first, catherine herridge. your sources say he is likely dead. >> officials say they're strong signs that saad bin laden is dead. they want certainty because this could be a sensitive kill. it typically involves dna identification or dental records. sometimes, their ripple to pick up conversations that indicated the jubilant dead. i've been told they believe that a strike earlier this year took him out. he was collateral damage. even if not the intended target. shepard: he had ties to iran, right? >> this is an interesting element. officials say he was not a big- time player, but a big-time game. in january of this year, the treasury department froze his assets along with other operatives. treasury said that in late 2001, saad facilitated the travel of 0 osama bin laden's family members from afghanistan to iran. he made key decisions for al qaeda and was part of a small group of al qaeda members that was involved in managing the terrorist organization from iran. that might be one of his most important contribut
