they were controlled by the cia, not the host governments. the cia had a facility in morocco. that was not a cia-run prison. that was run and controlled by the moroccans. big difference between what the cia was doing and what's happening now. there are examples of governments such as the kenyans, the somalis. you name the government -- holding people. they are probatixies for us. we go and visit them but we are not holding them. >> don't afghan intelligence services, agency, doesn't it have a pretty tight lockdown on country? >> we don't need a black site in afghanistan. they are part of a covert action. when the afghan intelligence service picks up people and takes them to a facility, the cia has an office there. they have people there. they can go. they can visit. but technically, the after gans are holding them. >> did her offered a definition of black sites: >> that's my definition. >> the 9-11 commission report recommended that there be specific guidance on treating foreign prisoners. almost a decade later, have we established a uniform law on ho detainees? the answer is

soil with the backing of the cia.e of carnage in beirut, april, 1983, killing more than 60 people, including 17 americans. the cia lost several key officers. former u.s. and israeli intelligence say that this man, then a member of the revolutionary guard, helped plan that bombing, as well as the bombing in the barracks at beirut that year and orchestrated by this man inside the united states. >> i was blown -- i was stunned. i was surprised. i couldn't believe it. >> ann suffered 19 broken bones in the embassy bombing. dammarell sued and said the cia helped him defect in 2007 in exchange for iran's nuclear program. >> his value could be quite large because our knowledge was quite small. he could have had a treasure trove of information about revolution guard activities, overseas, domestically, he could have provided happens a good deal of information about the nuclear program. >> reporter: according to the book, agari gave intelligence at natanz and could have given information about a hezbollah operative believed to

the white house knew, the cia knew.knew at fox news the next day that it wasn't that, and so it's very curious. so you've got the controversy of the cover-up, and you've got all sorts of problems right now. they're stonewalling, but they can't anymore. what's interesting though to me is hillary rodham clinton, right? why didn't she go on the sunday show? probably was because she was told, okay, we want you to tell this lie? she goes, i don't think so. one of these days i'm going to be done giving my $400,000-a-pop speeches, and i'm going to run for president, so i can't do that lie. >> kirsten, we were speaking earlier before the program about this and kind of your take on it, which i think is unique. >> yeah. well, i think there are two scandals going on. there's the scandal of what the white house has done. and, look, we did know this was knowable information in the beginning. the station chief said it was the video. for them, you know, to have said this, they had to know that it was wrong. and if they didn't know it

i'm not talking about the cia talking points.king about the talking points used on that program that day, which were monumentally misleading and/or and have since been shown to be false and based on no intelligence of any consequence that we know of. >> my answer to that is, no, there wasn't a conspiracy. they didn't have turned out to be accurate. >> how did it happen? >> i think that people made -- at the time their best guess at the facts. >> where did the idea that the video had anything to do with benghazi come from? >> where did it come from? >> yeah. >> i think it wam from people who weren't sure about tshg but i would not say -- >> can you identify -- can you identify any cia information? can you identify -- >> ben talks about the movie five times in this memo. >> my view is having been around at the time that this was not deliberately misleading. it turned out to be wrong, but it was not deliberately misleading. >> on that, we're going to take a break. we'll see you all a little later. i don't think we're going to solve

and cia didn't say it. it came from where? >> guys quoted in newspapers saying that's why they were there. >> the white house. >> no. it came from the newspapers. >> but somebody has to prep susan rice to get to video. the only thing we see doing that is ben rhodes' e-mail. >> no. >> jay carney says that e-mail is not about benghazi at all. but the only place the video comes up is ben rhodes' e-mail. >> no. the place the video came up is in the dozens of countries where people were protesting because of the video. maybe in this alternate reality where there's a giant cover-up, the only place on the planet where no one cared about this planet was benghazi. but i think a reasonable individual at that time would think those attacks might have been motivated because of the innocence of muslims video. >> well, a reasonable individual testified today, brigadier general lovell, a one-star general, well respected because he's served the country very well. this is what he said today. >> we didn't know how long this would last when we b

valerie plame left the cia.y is going to be put out into past tur into management. >> reporter: no comment from the government about the status of the station chief, whether he's being recalled or reassigned. the administration has sent the message on and off the record that concerns for this official's safety are getting the highest priority. it treated as a serious mistake. wolf? >> joe, thanks very much. valerie plame, the former cia officer, the author of "blow back" here in the situation rwih us now. when you heard the name of the cia station chief was disclosed, what went through your mind? >> well, it was colossally stupid, of course, what an error of huge proportions with tremendous consequences. but no way is it equivalent to what happened to me. >> why is that? >> it's a false equivalency put out there. it all comes down to intent. what happened with me, my name was intended to be leaked in retaliation against my husband, who was a fierce critic of the bush administration and the iraq war. >> when rich

camp no -- this job was given to the cia in conjunction with military.was set up for this purpose, used for this operation. we don't know in great detail what was going on there, but we know it included very sophisticated psychological operation that involved the concept of learned helplessness. this is preparing prisoners to be reflective and break them. and the so-called enhanced interrogation techniques -- waterboarding, putting people in forth,hypothermia, so these were used in connection with that program. and here we see the likely application of a technique that measures, like waterboarding, but without water. what appears to have occurred here is the introduction of cloths into the mountains of the three prisoners to induce a sense of the six nation. that is the same sensation with waterboarding. university of california at dutch study pulled us out and show there is evidence the same technique having been applied in other locations including the charles naval brig by intelligence officers at about the same time. >> and this method is called dry

had this come from cia? what's important here is that it says, and he's telling her what the goal of her appearance is to be, to underscore that these protests are rooted in an internet video and not a broader failure of policy. the only explanation of the white house, and this is what carney had been pushing for a week, is that this had nothing to do with benghazi. this had to do with all the other demonstrations. that is a preposterous proposition. the reason susan rice was on the show, the reason she got the prepping, the reason she had to be told "our goals" was because of the benghazi deaths. it was not because anybody would have cared about the cairo demonstrations. when he says "the protests" gives the implication is that every protest around the world, but not the benghazi one? of course he was including the benghazi one. there wasn't a protest, there wasn't a demonstration, the video was irrelevant. this was a way to tell her to tell the nation a story about a video that would, in essence, political

they didn't edit the cia talking points.ut ben rohdes and others wrote their own talking points. >> they wrote about their talking points p it's important to remember what ambassador rice was preparing for on your show and others when she sat on the seat that i'm sitting in right now, benghazi was not the first question you asked or second or third, it was the 14th question you asked. it's not a criticism. but it's reflection fact that focus of your show like many others was the protests going on. >> you're exactly right. sir, i have the rohdes memo right here. and in it he says one of the goals that we will be resolute in bringing people who harm americans to justice. the only people who had been harmed, americans, who had been harmed at that point were the four americans that had been killed in benghazi. on another page, he specifically refers to a report in a british newspaper about benghazi. so to say this memo wasn't about benghazi is just not true, sir. >> it's true that two sentences of the four page memo are about be

did the cia have a hand in the frightening outbreak of pole low in pakistan this year? before you dismiss that as conspiracy talk, remember, the agency used a evacuation ploy. now trying to get the world to trust what is in vaccines again. >>> good afternoon, everyone. welcome to "the lead." i'm jake tapper. we'll begin with the money lead. the "closing bell." just seconds ago on wall street, there are days when the bell can feel like jackpot on a slot machine. and then there are days when it can feel like somebody pulled the fire alarm. and this, regrettably, is one of those alarm days. the dow dropping 170 points at one point and ticking back up before trading ended but still closing with a triple digit loss. let's go to alison kosik. what happened there today? >> jake, it was all about words spoofing the market today, especially when it's coming from the president of the federal reserve, the group which sets interest rates. we saw most of the dow end in the red after a couple of them considered raising interest rates earlier than expected. now, loan rates were expect

so this is even worse than some cia agent being outd in a random situation. afghanistan is a deadly war and now everybody knows who he is and the real point it's not just the media. it's the tal i want -- taliban who know he is. >> the safety of him and his family. his career. if you are a pitcher for a major league baseball team, this is like shattering that arm because then you are not going to be able to do that same job anymore. you might still work in baseball but in a different capacity. >> or give the other team the signals by accident and they could read your signals. administration's can make mses but this administration makes mistake, after mistake. oops, we didn't know about benghazi, fast and furious, oops we accidentally outed one of our cia station chiefs. you man up. there's some other news -- >> we just found out before we went to air would be that the white house chief of staff has said there will be an internal review and some recommendations he expects -- >> so many internal reviews. >> they have a spreadsheet of reviews. how much review do

they say, so what, the cia station chief. they put it on a list.t's a constant problem and can never be fixed entirely. >> you say this was a blunder by presumably a low level staffer. the president made that memorial day visit and all of these military officers, diplomats, and then it said station chief. this is a different kind of outing of a cia operative than the valerie plame outing. that was different. >> it is different. it appears to be a blunder, an accident. but the agency is very sensitive to it the safety and security of it is officers. there was a bad day in eastern afghanistan in 2009, the worst day for the agency since the 1983 beirut bombing so the agency is very sensitive to how its officers is treated and handled in a country. and i assure you, wolf, they are going to do everything that they can to ensure that this officer's cover is tradecraft, his approximately protection is bolstered here in the coming days, possibly to ininclude bringing him home. >> i assume that this cia station chief, as far as being an officer of the cia,

do we know when the cia actually stopped? >> what we know from the cia is when john brandon made the decision, he made the decision in august of 2013, 8 months after those public health deans wrote a letter to president obama urging an end to this practice. >> if they haven't been doing it for a year and a half and we are still having workers killed, it suggests it has become part of the fabric of pakistani conspiracy theories? even before this broke about the cia using a doctor as a covert operative, they planted, nurtured, and exploited rumors about western backed health projects, that these are sterilization campaigns, tools of spy craft and added a whole a year there. >> the cia was playing into a potentially big problem. >> some parents are declined to have their children vaccinated so they don't look like they're going along with a western plot against the country. >> was this massive incompetence? >> somebody at langley had their hollywood thinking cap on which is a great phrase for dissecting what was going on here. i

were prepared by the cia. and in this case, overall issue of unrest in the muslim world. >> so then, why did the white house hold back this e-mail, a document that was originally classified before being released to congress, but in retkapbgted form, to protect the author and recipients if there were always two sets of talking points, why was it released at all, if it did not pertain to benghazi because that was the specific request by the frie freedom of information asserted by. >> you dishial watch, jay -- judicial watch, jay carney was asked and would not answer. >> why were you holding back this information, why was it not turned over to congress, this is relevant, why did you hold it back. >> john, again. >> why did it take a court case to release this. >> john, i can say again and again, i know, you can keep asking, this document was not about benghazi. >> it was prep if sunday show. >> it was not her only prep, john, she relied on her for her answers on benghazi on document repaired by the cia. as did me

or are they just saying the cia? >> they're saying the cia had nothing to do with it.ther agencies have done this. i haven't gotten an answer yet. i'm working with them throughout the day to get some of these answers to these questions. they're saying right now that they had no role in this. >> we'll speak to the author of this book. we'll speak to others, including a lawyer representing families later in "the situation room." so we'll go in-depth on this story later today. lots of families potentially going to be very, very upset. >> right. >> about this. brian, thanks very much. >>> that's it for me. see you at 5:00 p.m. in "the situation room." newsroom with brooke baldwin starts right now. >>> here we go. top of the hour, great to be with you. i'm brooke baldwin. let's begin with news just in at cnn. have you heard about the explosive allegations being leveled against the nfl by some of its former players? well-known names. you know about the concussion claims. we have covered that here on cnn extensively. but a new lawsuit alleges that nfl teams and their doctors

[ overlapping speakers ] >> my fact is -- >> the state department -- >> the cia. >> lanny -- >> are you going to -- >> president -- >> answer the question -- [ overlapping speakers ] >> answer -- >> i ask the questions and you answer them. >> i can rebut it. >> the day after beth jones said sharia was responsible to the attack to the president, how did that evolve into an entirely different story and as it relates to langly, why didn't they listen to the station chiefs on the ground? >> the answer that the cia said is that we made a misjudgment -- >> judgment. >> based upon current intelligence. i ask you to answer my question -- >> when you get a show, i'll answer your question. >> you won't answer the question until you know the truth, sean. >> i can answer the question. it's simple. on the evening of september 11th, hillary clinton put out a statement, which in part blamed the video, when you fast forward

-- they used some of the cia talking points, cia said they did not. so clearly you have to take one or the other. i'm going to rely on what the cia said about it. so that talking point did not get in there from the cia more than likely. second, the information you have now is sthe commander of afrr i con saying they could have gotten there, they're not sure. they should have tried. but the one thing that strikes me is both president obama and hillary clinton met the families of the four at the air force base and still at that point, which was after susan rice if i'm not mistaken brought up the issue about the video, this gets back to greg gut feld's age-old question, there is yet to be a single bit of information that where the video came from and who put it into the process. >> we haven't gotten more on that. one of the questions i asked today was, why if i went back and checked the record on 9/12, the day after the terror attack, jay carney himself was asked about -- i want to be clear, the specific question i'm losing. who was behind this or who in

a cia officer was exempt from this prohibition. inside the agency they believed the oslo peace process started with ames' cultivation of this friendship with this person. ames was stationed in places like saudi arabia, kuwait, a he diedand then tragically on april 18, 1983 in a route, lebanon. oddly enough, there was no retribution for the security lapses. the u.s. government really did not know who had done this. hezbollah did not exist then. another tragic consequence of ames' death in the embassy bombing was that it demoralized u.s. foreign-policy in the region. officer who,ne when i broached the idea that ames had started the peace process, he said, maybe that is true, but it all came to naught. yet i would argue that he showed us the way. his work is unfinished. someday it will come to fruition. >> the extraordinary life of cia agent robert ames. show to as today's close. you can find more on our website. thanks for watching, and please tune in tomorrow. >> bbc.com/news. >> funding of this presentation is made possible by the

what the cia said was spontaneous demonstration. specifically that the video story did not have anything to do with the cia. we did not provide that information. hillary clinton said that, said that on the evening of september 11th before there was ever any mention -- >> you're not the host. get over it. >> she said that. >> i have a question. excuse me, gentlemen. i have a question for steve. as it relates to point about it being a spontaneous demonstration -- >> that was wrong. >> i'm asking a question. i know you're obsessed with the clintons and you can't control yourself. calm down. >> i think you're obsessed with interrupting. >> you can't handle the truth. you're afraid this is going to effect her presidential run. >> i'm not going to allow you to talk over me. >> did you ever hear of a case of spontaneous demonstration where rpgs are in the back pocket and they happen to fire them and we don't send anybody in to help? >> that's not the case. there was some preplanning and some organization to those attacks. by the end of the

we know jeff acting cia director at the time informed the white house before susan rice went on the cia station chief on the ground descented from the protesting. there is a document, there is one other document that we do not have or a series of documents that we do not have that can get answers for this, which is let's get the presidential daily briefs for that week after the benghazi attack. president bush after 9/11 showed the cia warned ben laden was planning to attack america. why doesn't to release the brief that will tell us exactly what the intelligence community told him about the pro -- whether there was a protest, how high a level of conference they had in that and whether there were descenting views and when they told him that. >> as for the spin that's in this document where the white house is telling people it's all about the video, the white house today seems to be saying i'm telling you even though there are references to benghazi, that was guidance about the protest in general in the middle east despite the fact it was about susan rice's appearance on five sunday talk

on one hand, you have the cia, the u.s.vernment looking at their strategic objectives of catching bin laden, and on the other hand you have the taliban whose agenda is basically to destroy pakistan, to spread terror in any way they can. and the tragedy is, neither side seems to care at all about the pakistani people who are caught in the middle. so now the u.s. has osama bin laden but the fact is, in the three years after that raid, we have a polio outbreak in pakistan and extremist groups have been able to increase the number of attacks. the casualties -- pakistan is now the number one country in the number of terrorist attacks anywhere in the world, more than iraq and afghanistan. the question becomes, for americans, what has the war on terror really accomplished? not only do you have these extremist groups able to expand their areas of operation, but now you have a huge public health crisis in pakistan. i think dr. zulfiqar bhutta gave a really great insight on how pakistan does not have the resources to contain both of
