what can you say about the receding and fork covert drugs through the cia? >> that i don't have any evidence myself, so i can't say positively or negatively. yeah, my sense is -- you know, some cases it may be exaggerated, the role of the cia. i don't know. i mean, in terms of their direct role. i mean, my sense as it's often more of a quid pro quo of lives they make with regimes or groups that they are allied with. they're not necessarily directly transporting into the country. at least i haven't seen that much evidence. certainly in the realm of possibility but i've not seen any direct evidence so i can't answer to that question. but yeah, i mean, a lot do breed suspicion. so i don't blame people for being suspicious. and it may very well be that there is corruption, a lot of corruption going on. i personally haven't seen the evidence to be able to comment one way or the other. >> another thing also is a lot people say the drug industry as far as pharmaceuticals company, is fighting merrill won a basically because they don't want consumers to be able to gr

the cia rushed assertion from johns hopkins to save his life.nd i'm going to start telling the story from the moment he wakes up from the coma in the spring of 2002 so he is the last eocene. he has been in this gunfight and he thinks he is going to die in the wakes up. i woke up make it, strapped to a bed in a very wide room. the rim measured approximately 13 feet by 13 feet. the room had three solid walls and the fourth wall consisting of metal bars separating it from a larger room. i'm not sure how long they remained in the bed. after sometime i think it was several days but can't remember exactly, i was transferred to a chair where i was kept shackled at the hands and feet for what i think was the next two to three weeks. during this time, i developed blisters on the underside of my legs due to the constant sitting. i was only allowed to get up from the chair to go to the toilet which consisted of a bucket. water for cleaning myself was provided in a plastic auto. i was given no solid food during this two to three weeks while sitting on the c

and then the cia, the u.s.y, and even pakistani authorities have had success in rooting them out of those cities. so far, so good. >> john, let's get to the title of the book "the reluctant spy." why were you a reluctant spy? >> i was reluctant to get into operations in the first place. i enjoyed my job as an analyst. i embraced operations and ended up having a knack for it. i was reluctant to leave the agency. i ended up leaving for personal reasons. but i missed the agency since i left in 2004. >> let's get to something you talk about in the book. you were part of a team that caught the number three man in al qaeda in 2002. he was later water-boarded. i want to hear about the capture. what was that like? >> it was exciting. it was thrilling. but i think none of us involved really had a chance to appreciate it until it was over. we were all so nervous that something was going to go wrong or he wasn't going to be in one of the target sites. we weren't sure what to expect until we saw that we had him. >> you wer

the cia wouldn't give me a list of the companies they are working for.e have a lot of questions we don't know the answer to. but the cia said, you know, we make sure there is no conflict of interest of here. we make sure nobody is taken off the bin laden unit to work nights and weekends for a big company. >> good to see you. the author of "broker, trader, lawyer, spy, the secret world of corporate espionage". all right. the chinese are mad at the americans. the heat rises on the most important trade relationship in the world. why that could mean that you pay more for just about everything you buy. like, hey, this actually works.

(announcer) fiber one. cardboard no. delicious yes. i

i'm curious what you make of the challenges facing the cia right now. 2004, what's changed and what hasn't? >> a lot has changed. the fight is a lot more difficult now because al qaeda really has scattered. we have believed all along that most of al qaeda's leaders and the taliban's leaders have been in that border area along -- between pakistan and afghanistan, but it is difficult to operate in that area. i think director panetta is correct in that the pressure that the cia has put on al qaeda over the last eight, ten months or so has succeeded in pushing them out of the area to a certain degree, and into cities where it is easier to track them. >> so, john, is that part of the reasoning behind the title about being a reluctant spy? why were you a reluctant spy? because it because of the difficulties in the area or other things? >> no, i embraced the difficulty of the job. i started my life at the agency as an analyst. i was kind of reluctant to go into operations but i found once i did that, that i had a knack for it. i was really very reluctant to le

what was the mood, what was the feeling within the cia? in the months befor september 11th, everybody saw it coming. i recount the story in the book where the chief of the counterterrorist center implored a foreign intelligence service, please, he said, if you have any sources inside al qaeda, please help us, because something errible is going to happen. and then sure enough on september 11th there was shock but not surprise. we had all expected it. then everybody just kicked into gear, everybody in the building volunteered to go to afghanistan. >> in the days since, has there been enough cooperation between these agencies do you think in fighting this common fight? >> i think that cooperation has improved dramatically in the years between the september 11thth attacks and now. but one thing we have to keep in mind, is that the cia and the fbi have vastly different mandates. the fbi wants to build a criminal case against terrorists, the cia doesn't care about a criminal case. the cia just wants to put them out of different. >> man, i wish w

what's the cia saying about the videotape? >> reporter: they haven't commented publicly on the video, whether or not it's actually a real video. it was released sunday by al-saham, the media arm of al-qaeda but one counterterrorism official is quoted as quoted that saying balawi overstates the damage inflicted on u.s. capabilities in the region, this official saying balawi was a murderer and terrorist and that he didn't stop, not even for an instant, any effective operations against al-qaeda, bill. bill: steph centanni on that story, we will look for more on that as we go throughout the morning here. martha: as you well remember, health care rose from the ashes and now there's word that cap and trade may find a new form. three key senators reportedly involved in a radical behind the scenes overhaul, senators graham, kerry, and lieberman, declaring that cap and trade as it was is dead. but now said to be weighing a new legislation that will cut greenhouse gas and carbon emissions, several lawmakers and critics saying it paves t

go find them he shows the cia the hair ball laying out the whole social never again this cia official says i don't need this. what i need you to do is tell me who's asked to put a hellfire missile on. this is really the two different worlds they do see here colliding of people who need hard information and connected the permission of people who are obsessed with collecting as much as they can and they think will derive some power from that. this is what it has come to for the billions of dollars the we have spent with the faith the government she has lost she created eight regime and it was doing a terrible job of connecting them. what is the consequences? one. looking at an is that people that may be obvious but to connect the deprivation it has real risks of course, that the intelligence agencies would once again missed the warning signals of a catastrophe. and that is precisely what has happened. last christmas as you know, a gun nigerian man boarded a northwest airlines flight bound for michigan and then tried to set off of a device in his pants thurgood did not go off and was tac

the big part of the book also is the cia, which you mention briefly as well.nk of a lot of people when they hear cia they say analysts sitting at the high computer think james bond. that's not what the sky were. these people were in there literally days after 9/11. it talked about the cia side of the story. >> is very important because they have these language skills and these lines of communication with the peres, that respects, the tajiks who are operating in the north. and if you can't get everyone to get along, then you can't form your resistance and overthrow the bad guys, which in this case is that halibut. which by the way the afghans did not want to support you if they do not want the taliban and and even if the support may be 10%, maybe 25% in some of the more southern provinces. so they are they are in the head by days and weeks and his helicopters, people talked about mitchell. he comes in a little later. but they get in the helicopter in pakistan where they're based in colonel mulholland says good luck, i don't know if you're going to come back fro

that's according to cia director leon panetta. he told the washington post: "it's pretty clear from all the intelligence we are getting that they are having a very difficult time putting together any kind of command and control, that they are scrambling." and panetta attributed the success, in part, to improved relations with pakistan, saying "we do a lot more operations together." we have two views of this: glenn carle served as deputy national intelligence officer for transnational threats, where he tracked terror networks like al qaeda. he retired in 2007 after a 23- year career at the cia. and michael scheuer headed the cia team responsible for hunting osama bin laden in the late 1990s. he is the author of a forthcoming book called, "osama bin laden, a biography." mr. carle, does panetta's assessment about al qaeda's weakening add up to you? >> it does. i think there are two ways to look at it or two elements involved. first there's the domestic political one. democrats always are vulnerable or perceived to be vulnerable on na

in 1971, for instance, left wing ramparts which to its great credit helped expose the role of the cia, but, to give you a sense of the overblown rhetoric in one of their editorials they noted, the u.s. ran a holy war to stamp out communism and protect its asian markets and conscripted sons have come home with a blunt stained noodle as the only lasting souvenir, a fitting trade off, one that characterizes the moral quality of u.s. involvement which has radiated genocide and corruption. and this ugly war keeps coming back to haunt us. each manifestation more terrifying than the last and seeing the international drug trade as a form of economic imperialism, the antiwar left helped to cement the public impression that drugs were lasting legacy of america's disastrous intervention in vietnam. and, menace to the social order. they further contributed to a transformation of the image of vietnam veterans, from anticipatiagents of imperialism as many saw themselves to pathological victims of an unpopular war upon whom public fears became transfixed and, robert liveton observed as this particul

which hampered the cia's operations for years. the national commission on terrorism, which i chaired, reported that in 1994, the cia imposed highly restrictive restraints, rules, on agents in the field in terms of how they could basically penetrate terrorist cells. those highly restrictive rules were in effect, still on 9/11. by the way. now, are we seeing a repeat of the same problem? i'm afraid we may be. this administration, you may recall, about a year ago, released highly classified cia documents against the advice of 7 current and previous cia directors and last summer the attorney general announced that he would reinvest gait cia officials who had already been investigated and cleared by career justice people, he was going to reinvestigate their techniques of interrogation and that has an impact on the morale of our intelligence services and also, raised questions in foreign intelligence services about the benefits of cooperating with the u.s., so there is reason to be concerned about this area, also. so, finally, where is

current and previous cia directors. last year, the attorney general announced that he would reinvestigate cia officials who have already been investigated and cleared by career justice people. he was going to investigate their use of enhanced terrorist techniques -- enhanced interrogation techniques. there is reason to be concerned about this area. finally, where is the grand strategy? where is the mobilization ball all of the political and economic and military and covert weapons we have? first of all, we need to kill or capture the hard-core extremist wherever they are. to the president's credit, he has made even more aggressive use of creditors in the afghanistan fitter than bush did. -- use of predators in the afghanistan theater than bush did. it also has to do with their ideas. in particular it is their idea that islam is not compatible with modernization. some people in this administration argued that to speak of a war on terrorism is wrong because it is basically a war on tactics. terrorism is something that the

when we got an air force one at andrews, the president had a cia briefing. he said go back and talk to mccain. entertain mccain until i'm ready. this is awkward. look mccain's campaign and even mccain's wife, his wife famously said she was asked if she had a chance would she stab me in the back, she said no, i'll stab him in the front. there were high emotions about that. i back and sit down and start to talk. i'm nervous. but mccain had his naval aviator flight training in pence cola. -- pensacola. he started talking about his flight training and exotically named woman. he was one wild naval aviator. we then flew into pensacola where he had done his training and went to a stadium or facility that held about 10,000 people. it was packed to the gills with people. when they announced mccain and the president was sea of noise. and it discome boblated mccain. this is where the two of them take off their jackets. bush raising his arms. mccain and he join his arm. the president realizes the mccain can't wave. mccain is so overwhelmed he tries to say something to h

when we got on air force one at andrews the president had a cia briefing so he said go back and talk to mccain. entertain mccain on telling ready. this is sort of awkward because mccain and mccain's campaign and even his wife, his wife famously said, she said -- she was asked if she had a chance what she stabbed me in the back and she said no i wohlstetter him in the front. there were high emotions. so we go back to the cabinet and start to talk and it's a little nervous conversation, but then we start talking about pensacola, where mccain had his naval aviator flight training, and he started talking about his days there, and it evolved little sports cars and lots of alcohol and exotically named women and was funny. i've never laughed so hard in my life. he was a wild young aviator. so we then flew into panama city. actually pensacola, where he had done his training and we went to a stadium facility that held about 10,000 people and was packed to the gills with people and when they announced mccain there was a sea of malaise and a discombobulated mccain. it was a wild scene and this

cia might have for the f. e. i might have that the other one might be able to shed a light on how dangerous that information was. after 9/11 we took down the so-called wall that had an erected by the assistant attorney general jamie choleric that said you cannot, cia and if the i cannot shame-- share information. lots of other things were done. for example before 9/11 and before the patriot act you could have opus called a roving wiretap to follow a drug dealers use of cell phones where he would ride these prepared cell phones in use them and discard them. we could use a peak in sneak, and peek warrants unsaved a mafia figure, and organize crime figure but not on a terrorist. we could use records research to get up the records of a doctor suspected of medicare fraud that not on a terrorist that we did things after 9/11 and it passed with a very large bipartisan vote. the patriot act gave us these tools to make the country more safe. this idea of psychodrama, al did not sound to me like a licensed therapist and

book that i in a watcher having spent 35 years in the cia i was more of a watcher and a watchee. having left by meles watchee, i am one of the watched. but having been a watcher, i came to understand shane's purpose in writing this was to show that people with a very noblest of motives have created a state which people i don't think are fully aware of. it is a little bit like the cyber threat. it's their. it's hard to see. it's hard to touch and yet it is there and it is growing and it is something that is partially generational that is we have a generation that is much more used to social media and sharing but for my generation i think it comes as a bit of a shock to sort of sort of the totality of what shane is driving at in this book. we talk about an intelligence community now the number 200,000 people and a budget of some $80 billion was a very, very large and formidable group of people who are contributing to this effort. .. and many other media publications that you are familiar with. before he was with the journal, he was a government executive which is probably the premi

i could not say that he worked for the cia. i think that the a dent in my life that probably -- the event in my life that probably got me to where i am now, was the vietnam war, in coming out of the college and deciding to go into the navy before i was drafted. then, when i got out of the navy, i remember 1968 being a huge year that it was. the assassination of bobby kennedy and martin luther king in the tet offensive, that is what got me interested in news. the only new skill that i had after three years in the navy was the knowledge of military affairs. that is how i began. >> you went to princeton. >> what a mistake -- you went to yale. >> i did a brisk start of graduate school. i had to be honest with myself and tell myself that i was facing the draft. >> what years were you in the navy? >> 1956-1969. >> you were on the destroyer the entire time? >> based in the of pearl harbor. -- based in pearl harbor. we would spend six months of a plum and come home for about a year and then go back. that is what i spent my three years

he argues that is because the cia interrogation program and that when president obama kimmage office and dismantled that program it was a very dangerous and risky thing to do. he also has a very interesting argument about the whole question of torture and whether or not tactics qualify as torture he makes a strong argument both on the practical sense and moral sense that it was not tortured and that not only did we find out of valuable information but we were actually very careful about staying on the right line of those tactics. it's gotten a lot of talk even last sunday on the talk shows when you heard cheney and joe biden they were debating this jury subject and i think this book sparked a lot of the current debate. >> host: what's coming up for 2010? >> guest: you see new gingrich in the booth and we have a big new new gingrich book coming in april. we are excited about that. we published his last three big non-fiction political books and they've alleen best sellers. his last big political book was called of real change in the camaguey in the presidential campaign so he hasn't ha

former cia director porter goss. tell us about the makeup of this office as we look at the other names. guest: the board is a distinguished panel. it also includes a former white house counsel. everyone on the board is very distinguished and they have a staff director who is a former justice department prosecutor. host: how would you change things with his office and ethics committee, moving forward? guest: there needs to be a change in congress. members of both parties need to care about ethics in their party and not just using it as a weapon against the other party. i think the office of congressional ethics needs subpoena power. the ethics committee needs to take what the office of congressional ethics does it can go forward with it. they do not need to be reviewing all of that work. host: does the office have a term of life? guest: no, but i think there will be reauthorization for its funding in next congress. rules could change on when it can and cannot do. there is controversy over the office and there are some
