assume that this is much broader than the department of defense. this has to be a hugely conference of exercise involving the federal reserve, the department of defense, major utilities, everyone engaged. i assume everyone agrees with that. thank you, mr. chairman. >> first of all, general alexander, i appreciate the time we had -- i learned a lot in the time we spent together in your position. it was very meaningful. i recall when i was first elected -- i came from the house to the senate and replaced david boren, chair of the intelligence committee -- he told me at that time, one of the problems we were never able to deal with was the fact that we have all of this technology, and all these things we're finding out, and yet, we seem to be competing with ourselves. we have the fbi, the cia, the nsa. i'm kind of seeing the same thing. we made some headway. in fact, during the bosnia thing, all of the enemies were in one room together, at least they were talking. you mentioned in your statement, private entities cannot afford alone, andthemselves that

within the defense department, only the defense department could defend this nation in cyber. homeland security can set standards. but when our nation is under attack, the u.s. cyber command, nsa, fbi, those are the ones who will be the first responders. so let's look at what happened to sony and use that as a case example to end my opening statement, chairman. when sony was hit, everybody can say, well that's not critical infrastructure. i've got it. but we would not allow sony to attack back. the reason is, it could start a bigger war on the korean peninsula. that is the responsibility of government. but if sony isn't allowed to attack back, then who does that for sony? that's where our defense department is. and that's what we're needed for. but we can't see sony's networks. and i'm not advocating for the government to be in all the networks. what i'd advocate for is like a radar system. when a company or sector is being hit, that they can tell the government at large i'm being attacked. now, two things have to occur in order to do that. those companies need to up their gam

>> are you suggesting we should organize within the department of defense? >> i think the department of defense has to have a key, if not the lead role because when push comes to shove, somebody has to respond respond to the good of the nation it is the defense department. . . this era of ubiquitous smartphone for every action can be recorded. and i worry that our forces on the ground are not adequately trained and prepared for the. we have seen one incidents in these wars where there's an incident of the koran burning or someone urinating on corpses and enter strategic effects. but a world where every action by one of our soldiers and marines on the ground is recorded and tweeted around in real-time is something that i don't think we are prepared for. i say this in large part from personal experience fighting as an seal on the ground in iraq and afghanistan, where occasionally weird interactions with the population where things are rough. it's a difficult conflict but having it go viral as a different kind of environment. >> my time is up but tragic if i cou

the inspector general report saying that the defense department spent $43 million, which only should have cost about $500,000 and they don't know and they don't know how it happened that the defense department and meanwhile we are hearing about cuts to the v.a. and cuts to social security, cuts to medicare, and we have right here we have got $42,500,000 that should have never been spent. what are you going to do -- you can do anything about that. >> we terminated that program last year. >> after it's paid. that's the problem. >> no two ways about it we have been funding the military on ad hoc basis and waste like this occurs. one of the reasons why we have now a two year agreement to have better planning for the military is to stop funding it on this ad hoc basis. the second thing i would point out is we now have a chairman of the armed services committee a guy named matt thorn berry from texas. is he one of the best visionary leaders for our military. he knows how you to get out of waste. that is his specialty is rooting out waste and fraudér and bringing accountability to our milit

within the defense department, only defense department can defend this nation in cyber. homeland security can set standards but when our nation is under attack, u.s. cyber command, nsi and nsa and fbi will be the first responders. let's look at what happened to sony and use that as a case to end my opening statement. when sony was hit, everybody can say will that's not critical infrastructure. i've got it. when sony was attacked, we would not allow, as a government, sony to attack back against north korea. the reason is, if sony is, if sony were to attack back, it could start a bigger war on the korean peninsula. that is the responsibility of government. but if sony isn't allowed to attack back, then who does that for sony? that's where our government steps in. that's where our defense department is. that's what we are needed for. but we can't see sony's networks and i'm not advocating for the government to be in all the networks. what i'd advocate for is a radar system. when a company or sector is being hit, they can tell the government at large i'm being attacked. two

we could talk about hypothetically what the defense department could do and others. we talked about -- >> i would rather actually move to another topic. hypotheticals are great. why can we know actual in so many realms of what we do in defense but we're not willing to talk actual about cyber? because we certainly hear about the actual attacks on us. i think that raises a question i'd like to explore more. interesting -- very interesting hearing all your written tomorrow and oral testimony, too. the title was provocative. the future of warfare. a lot of the discussion about technology issues. i think one of the interesting areas about the future of warfare is the question of unilateral with partners. we were attacked on 9/11 by al qaeda. and we immediately assembled a coalition that amounted to about 60 nations to try to respond to that. the first thought after the attack on pearl harbor was not, we gotta go out and assemble a coalition. although, there were other nations, obviously the allied nations involved in world war ii. is there something unique about the future

within the defense department only the defense department can defend this nation in cyber.homeland security can set standards, but when our nation is under attack, u.s. cyber command, nsa, fbi, those are the ones who will be the first responders. so let's look at what happened to sony and use that as a case example to in my opening statement, chairman pitt when sony was hit, everybody can say that's not critical infrastructure to i got it, but when sony was attacked we wouldd not allow us to govern sony to attack back against north korea. the reason is if sony were to attack back they could start a bigger war on the korean peninsula. that is the responsibility of governments. but if sony is allowed to attack back, then who does that for sony? out for our government steps in. that's what our defense department steps in, that's what we are needed for. but we can see sony's networks, and i'm not advocating for the government to be in all the networks. what i would advocate for its like a radar system. when a company or sector is being hit, that they can tell the government at

our defense department needs to defend the nation this this area.'m not proposing they go in and pop up any energy company or any of these. help them build the right cybersecurity company so they can defend themselves and push that out beyond the boundary. i think our defense department has to think more comprehensively of this whole thing. i agree going after all the targets is part of it but my concern is the easy thing, if i were a bad guy, i'd go after our infrastructure. i'd take it out before you could respond. and that's what the chinese approach to warfare is. so, we have to put all that on the table, war game it, and ensure we have it correct for cyber. . >> thank you, mr. chairman. >> i want to thank you for being here, appreciate it. i want to follow up on something that you had in your prepared statement and you wrote that russia's intervention in ukraine and syria are the start of potential actions that seek to reshape the interenvironment. your experience of what comes next with moscow and what should we be doing to respond? >> my grea

attorney's office won't discuss the case and neither will the cia or the department of defense. old me other strange things about the front. that its leaders were close to people in the department of defense. that they may have gotten help with their operations in southeast asia. but what, if anything, did this have to do with the story i've been investigating? i learn of a former front member who spent years in prison. he'd shot a man in orange county over statements he made to the l.a. times, calling for dialogue with the communist government in vietnam. the would-be assassin's name is tran vanh be tu. and he agrees to meet me at a hotel just off the expressway. so he came out of this pho shop? >> thompson: no regret, no remorse. for be tu, this was not attempted murder. it was an act of war. >> thompson: be tu had been a hard core front member. he says they'd even tried to recruit him to join k9. but he split from the group before the shooting. so you were recruited to join the k9 organization. is that right? >> thompson: and it was your understanding that k9 was a hit squad o

the department of defense's effort didn't work. trained five people. what our intelligence services are doing is more effective, but not enough so we're now trying to support the kurds, who are effective on the ground. they are supporting hezbollah. so all this will play itself out and eventually there will be more stability and we can have a negotiation, but it's a very complex place, it's a mess and for anyone to imply there's an easy, simple solution, i think that would be somewhat naive. >> a prelude to negotiations, negotiations are under way right now in vienna to sort this out. no timetable for assad to leave. the united states is saying we want him to go. how do you think these negotiations will end up? >> i think they probably are on a track basically to end up in a place that is just as beneficial to the united states of america as the iran negotiation were, which was frankly not at all, but you have a problem here fundamentally, which is isis is a threat to the united states. what george says about the complexity of the region is absolutely

sanders is also linking climate change to terrorism -- and he says the defense department and c-i-a both feel the same way. a police shooting in minnesota leads to a protest. some are outraged. others are calling for patience. police were called to investigate an assault -- when something happened between officers and the suspect. an officer fired his gun -- killing the suspect. some witnesses claim the suspect wa in handcuffs when he was shot -- but police deny that. "these investigations take time would ask everybody to work with us."
