of defense, and there are 15 of those. but one thing that counsel for the department of defense doesn't do is manage the department. and deal with all the conflicts about the agencies and departments and so forth. an assistant secretary of defense is the fifth highest ranking official within a department's organizational hierarchy. first the secretary of defense, then the deputy secretary of defense, then the executive secretary, undersecretaries and deputy chief management officer. you have to go that low, and then he's the counsel. not a manager. a lawyer. he was previously a litigator at some big new york law firm, an assistant united states attorney, federal prosecutor two years. i was a united states attorney. i managed an office, a relatively small office of 12. so he was two years an assistant united states attorney. he is now supposed to be able to manage this entire monstrosity of an agency. the first homeland -- the first secretary of homeland security, tom ridge, had served as governor of pennsylvania for six years. that's a big state. and was possible's homeland security advisor from 2001-2003 and was a

according to a report released by the department of defense inspector general this year, the pentagon has been taig contractor boeing more than 3,357ed for a piece of hardware they could have purchased from their own hardware store, the defense logistics agency, for for $15.42. it seems to me it would be a pretty good deal to get a product for $15 that you are paying over $3,000 for, but that is the way the pentagon runs. furthermore, another issue. a july, 2013, special inspector general for afghanistan reconstruction report includes the purchase of over $771 million of aircraft that the afghans will be unable to operate and maintain. the afghan special mission wing has only one quarter of the personnel needed to maintain and uprig the fleet, and there are no existing d.o.d. plans to reach full strength. the pentagon is moving forward with purchases. most of that money, $553 million, has been awarded to a russian company that also sells weapons to syria. and these are just a few examples. needless to say, there are many more. a recent other in "mother jones" has some interesting numb

the intelligence community, department of defense, national security counsel, state department, obviously, and man dates that we try to publish this material within 30 years of the events as they occurred. and we're very good at every part of our mandate except the 30 year part. our hawaiians, we have 20 of them go to the presidential library and the various archive and different agencies. amass the material, come back and select from among thousands of documents they come up with. the generally 350 that tell a narrative of the development and execution of policy. then it goes, again, within the office through an editorial process two different levels of edit. once it's cleared up who had the extremely complicated and granular task of coordinating declassification across the different agencies and the intel community. department of defense. once it's taken care of. we send it to the editors. we have about six editors on staff here. they are what i call the goal keeper for quality. one of the aspects of the program that surprised me when i got here, which was a couple of years ago. i used

the defense business for decades it's gotten progressively worse with each passing year because there has simply not being any accountability we have legislation that requires an audit of the department of defense and each time we ask the department of defense to submit the books for audit there are reasons given why it cannot yet be done this is an enormous problem and this is something that absolutely must be addressed and addressed in a forthright better at the ball that no one on capitol hill seems terribly concerned. here as intelligence expert gordon duff says that lawmakers have become increasingly corrupted by their ties to the military industry. we have so many defense entities that have gained so much power in washington over the past ten years certainly the i consider the phony war on terror as been an opportunity for the defense industry to buy congress the pentagon it works much like the federal reserve we have overt and covert policies we have so many black budget budget projects including nuclear weapons development projects that when dark is early as one nine hundred ninety one we have heard of none of the advances we know that were achieved during the strategic defen

and likely was the driving force behind the subsequent changes in policy instituted by the department of defense within five years of the film's release the pentagon established casualty reporting regulations that specifically addressed friendly fire for the first time regulations dictated that the army inform families of the inflicting force involved and stipulated that reports should include circumstantial evidence as long as it's made clear where facts and supposition begins. was now mandated to notify families of situations where friendly fire was even suspected. the integrity of this new policy would be tested in gulf war one. with the economic ups and downs in the final month. the deal sank and the rest. will be if we can all three. i was thinking somehow i had to come back because mom was waiting for me. i just knew that everything would be fine for some reason they were so confident because we were going to get married officially after he came back. in line. with the militants decided to try and break through the. screaming grenade. explosions on his back. it was the rule and it was all

first, the department of defense c.f.o. should pull the dfas financial statements for the years 2008 and 2009 and remove those audit opinions from official records. second, the old i.g. needs to undertake an independent audit of dfas's financial statements for fiscal year 2012 and determine whether those statements and the cpa's firm's opinions meet prescribed audit standards. fiscal year 2012 beginning account balances must also be verified in response to my oversight, the inspector general has initiated what he calls a postaudit review of dfas fiscal year 2012 financial statements. this is in fact a good move. but to ensure that it is done right at this time, i ask the the u.s. g.a.o. to watchdog the inspector general's work. i want independent verification because last time there was none. this process will be completed next year, and, third, the inspector general should address and resolve any allegations of misconduct involving dfas's officials and make appropriate recommendations for corrective action. fourth, i'm refe

it does provide some sequester relief for the department of defense. the department of defense was facing across-the-board sequester cuts which are kind of arbitrary across-the-board cuts of about $20 billion starting on january 15 and over the next few months. this relief is very important to our military. we've heard from them. it's important to our readiness. it's important to our troops. it's important to wright-patterson air force base in ohio and other bases around the country. it's important to our war fighters who around the globe tonight are putting their lives on the line for us. so i think that sequester relief for the department of defense that's in this budget agreement was important. while this might be the best two-year budget agreement that is imaginable in a time of divided government like we have, with all of the dysfunction here in this town, it is certainly not the comprehensive agreement that the american people deserve. through this agreement, congress has now accomplished really the bare minimum of what the american people should

but when he was president he had the department of defense, the cia, the national security counsel, the usaiid, nato and a number of things. but one of this rules was if you want a friend in washington get a dog. and the rumsfeld corollary was get a little dog as the others might turn on you. >> next question, since we are in the nixon center and he made the opening to china, what do you think your prospects are for continuing a good relationship with china? >> i think it is possible. china is a big country. it is an important country. china has trouble with its neighbor india. and trouble with vietnam nam. and trouble with mongolia and tibet. and causing problems for the japanese and other countries operating in that part of the world. they are investing in double digit in their defense capability and developing a blue water navy. i could be wrong, but it seems there is a tension between a growing economy, which means a lot of people milling around with computers, cell phones, and electronic stuff and facebook and twitter and all of the stuff you younger folks understand so well. and t

according to a 2012 department of defense survey, approximately 14,000 active duty servicemen said they faced unwanted sexual contact in the last year compared to 12,000 women. the numbers don't reflect how many decades of assaults have been kept secret kamando javier stayed silent for 15 years. >> i thought about it and came forward. >> the first va treatment center for male victims of military sexual assault. >> it takes a lot for men to be willing to report. >> men are over, if they were sexually assaulted by another woman, they think their wife will say you musting gay. >> many say the macho military prevents them from coming forward. >> there are a lot of people who think it was good to have it because it makes the military tough. >> the department of defense told al jazeera it rejects the claim and is working toward a military culture where sexist behaviors, sexual harassment and sexual assault are not tolerated, ignored or condoned? >> i threw almost everything away. >> mike said the military must undergo dramatic changes to prevent future assaults. meanwhile, he is undergoing hi

and i think that will leave me to be able to have a somewhat normal life. >> we asked the department of defense for an interview with the head of the sexual assault prevention response office. we wanted them to react to mike scott's allegations about rapists within the ranks, and they sent this statement. they say we categorically reject this viewpoint. secretary hagel is very clear. we must have a culture in the military where sexual harassment and assault are not tolerated, condoned or ignored. sexual assault has been front and center for dod in recent months, the topic of hearings and discussions. one of the main complaints from male victims is how slow the process is to acknowledge this issue affects more than one gender. >> when you hear all these reports coming in, what has the military done so far? >> the military has a sexual assault prevention office and one goal was to promote initiatives that address the needs of male victims. one of the things they did is added information to a 24-hour seven day a week hot line for rape survivors. they also say they reached out to organizations that

would require national security and law enforcement agencies, including the department of homeland security, the department of defense, the department of justice, to submit reports to the congress on what were the attacks on the federal network. what is the level of investigations of cyber crime? what other obstacles are out there to appropriate public awareness of what they put on the internet, how they put it on the internet, how vulnerable we may be to things that happen now that manage so many of the daily aspects of our life in the cyber world, and what are we doing about it. what are the cyber security threats to create an understanding that there is a way to respond, there is a way to share information, there's a way to make this work better. this bill will also include, it does include provisions to enhance awareness of threats against our critical infrastructure. as i've said before, the tpreut cal infrastructure, whether it's financial; the utility infrastructure, the transportation infrastructure, all are things that now are so woven into the cyber networks that the ability to suddenly manipulate, the abil

to work for him. >> host: from "state of disrepair," the department of state is deficient in three crucial areas in which the department of defense excels. mission focus, education and programming. >> guest: it's really true. if you ask the marine corps what they do, you'd get a straight answer, right? every marine is a rifleman. if you asked a diplomat what do they do, it's much harder because they have a much more diffuse focus. but it also means that the leadership of the institution is not conveying its core values and central responsibilities. and if you don't do that, people very quickly lose focus. and on the programming part, part of the reason that congress trusts the pentagon with an enormous amount of the taxpayers' money is because the pentagon provides a lot of information and makes, does assessments of whether it's worth it. so think about dave petraeus when he was commanding in iraq during the surge and congress was deeply skeptical that the surge was working. what did the military do? they identified what they thought the right metrics were for which to hold themselves accountable, number of intelligence tips they

so for people in the white house and some in the department of justice and department of defense goingack to the model was seem to be a way to avoid a lot of developments in the through a had taken place since world war ii. and so when president bush issued his order in november of twufn it was striking in the way it resembled the order president roosevelt issued in 1942 involving the nazis that harm commander harmon. that was his name? whatever. ther. was updated from man. of it a concession to the 21st century sensibility. there was not much else. it was about it. as long as evidence was probe toif a reasonable person, it could be admitted. there was no other restribs or rules. and it explicitly stated that no existing body of law would govern proceedings at military commissions. or the uniform code of military justice. and added that no person who he designated for trial would have the privilege to appeal to any federal state, foreign or international court. so the idea was to have a system of justice that really was starting from scratch. and what i discovered in writing the book.

president obama, is a close confidante of president obama, was made the legal counsel for the department of defense, which he said he was president obama's man at the department of defense. but he's not had any kind of real leadership, and i would expect leadership in management experience. he shows no interest in or desire to seize control of this department and try to make it better and to honor the officers who are a part of it and who serve their country often at risk every day only to find that high political appointees in that department undermine their ability to enforce the law and place their lives at risk. you say, jeff, that's an exaggeration. i'm going to talk tonight in some detail about just a list of some of the things that this administration has done to undermine, block and frustrate the ability of the fine law officers, i.c.e. officers, customs and enforcement officers, border patrol who serve our country on a daily basis at risk to themselves. and it's not good. a lot of people might not know, i was a federal prosecutor and attorney general of alabama. when i was traveling the st
