who works at the fbi and has written a great deal on the fbi's history. anything you read on the fbi website has been written by john foxx or supervised by john foxx of your reading about the history of the fbi. he's also written a number of terrific articles about the history of the fbi, the internal policy, and can give us some of the fbi's own perspective on what the church committee means 40 years out. so with that we will start with professor calman. and hopefully will hear from all of you soon, too. laura: i'll focus on two questions. what was the relationship between watergate and the church committee, and whose interests did the church committee serve? recall that was sparked the church committee was hirsch's christmas 1974 "new york times" story that during the nixon years the cia created a massive illegal domestic intelligence operation against the anti-war left, which some linked to the houston plan of watergate fame. additionally hirsch said a check of the cia's files ordered by james/and your showed dozens of others illegal activities inside

fbi, what a bunch of jerks they are.except for the guys or gals in the next cubicle from you, they are okay. the others are jerks. if you get enough of that you start to blend people together. there's missions they understand and appreciate each other. we spent a decade blending in that way. still got a ways to go, i think sometime, we have a little bit to understand the mission but ten years ago, it was 4-year-old soccer. that's how i think of it. >> so back to the -- and of course, many talk about it, and require cooperation from a variety of other nations, for the fbi to be able to encriminateencrypt or take other actions particularly where gangs and other threats are emanating from. >> they -- other nations understand that cyber threat is the factor that is cyber blows away away, that we are neighbors on the interpret. what i find when i travel many foreign partners many, many visitors come to see, all of those conversations are people saying, we have to figure this out because the keyboard may be in my company that'

the fbi could. and because this is a presidential election issue now, the fbi has to go in. now, we call the fbi, we'll tell you what they told us tonight. all right? but i'm saying they ha choice. they have to investigate this. >> can i throw one more idea out there? there are a lot of people that have reported right directly from the 1099s and various tax filings by the clinton foundation. the number comes back with about $1.7 billion they've raised since 2008 and somewhere around 10 to 12% of the money has found its way at the end of the road to their contributions in grants. now, they are saying a lot of other money may have been spent in-house but can you tell the irs we're spending money in-house trust us? >> the irs is not an investigative agency at this level. there are so many inter-locking things foreign governments boeing general electric i can interest big corporations. it has to be done by a criminal investigative agency and the fbi is the best in the world. the irs has been corrupted. we know that. it's politicized. people who run it take orders from whoever is

i want to read the fbi's response -- "while the fbi approval levels required by internal policy weret initially obtained, once discovered, corrective action was taken, non-compliance was remedied, and the oversight was properly reported through the fbi's internal oversight mechanism." adam, as we wrap up, if you can talk about what the fbi did and what you released today in the earth island journal in the guardian and also in your past reporting on fbi spying on activists? >> unfortunately, it perhaps is not the exception the fbi has opened an investigation without proper approval. in 2011, the inspector general issued a report showing widespread cheating on a test that was designed to prevent this very kind of thing from happening. it essentially demonstrates a lack of internal control, but more broadly speaking, the question i think we need to be asking is whether the investigation open properly or not should have been conducted to begin with. tar sands blockade is committed to nonviolent civil disobedience. they've been very open and transparent about their activism and work, and

the fbi is taking over.itical turning point. >> it was an uncomfortable situation because the alcohol, tobacco, and firearms felt a great sense of loss. it was their own men, their own agents, who were down and were gone. >> shortly thereafter, they were told that we were going to be taking over the handling of the response to the events on that day, and that was crushing for them as well. >> at the time, you know, it's personal. you have some animosity. i felt a little, you know, hey, someone is coming in and taking away what i started, but it was for the best because you never know because what we went through, what we could have done. >> get that camera out of here. get out of here! >> what's the matter with you! >> go, go, go! >> we need help! >> news of the shootout immediately spreads from coast to coast. the national press swarms into waco, looking for answers. and from the start, one question dominates all others. who shot first? >> when we drove up, the davidians opened fire, and i am sickened by an

in the fbi, the cia, the state department.oft: joe reilly was an fbi agent when the bureau got the mitrokhin tip, and the barsky case quickly became serious enough that fbi director, louis freeh, got personally involved. the fbi didn't know who or where he was, but the best lead seemed to be a jack barsky who was working as an i.t. specialist in new jersey, with a suburban home across the border in mt. bethel, pennsylvania. >> kroft: aside from his name, was there anything else that made you suspicious and make you think that this was the guy you were looking for? >> reilly: yes. one thing was the fact that he had applied for a social security number late in life especially someone like him who was educated and intelligent. >> kroft: the fbi began following barsky, and when this surveillance photo caught him talking to a native of cuba, the bureau grew increasingly concerned. >> barsky: there were some indications that i could possibly be the head of a international spy ring, because i had a friend who was originally from cuba

cases but also information has led to new fbi cases. i will touch of the threat of isis. in the past two years blockbuster has successfully -- successfully intercepted over 100 caret -- 100 terrorism threats. even with those success stories the threat we face both in terms of understanding and combating them, have never been more complex. with core al qaeda having been degraded, our counterterrorism efforts are challenged by a con -- by a combination of extremism, and general instability in the middle east and africa. isil has lessons learned from al qaeda and has rose to prominence a relatively short. of time -- relatively short period of time. isil has been extremely effective at targeting english-speaking audiences throughout multiple social media sites. al qaeda's use of the internet and social media has provided isil a blueprint on how to attack our critical infrastructure and our economy. their outreach is allow them to reach tens of thousands throughout the world. as our director said last thursday, there are hundreds and maybe h

fbi director james comey on cybersecurity. the director of efpa james cumis is one of the most urgent threats facing the u.s. is isis recruitment via social media. his remarks are part of georgetown law schools third annual cybersecurity law lot institute. this is 45 minutes. >> thank you. we are now coming up on two years as director of the fbi. if you could talk a little bit about the biggest threat facing the fbi today. >> i think the biggest threat and the most urgent threat the one that takes my time every day is the one that isil presents especially coming at us through social media trying to motivate trouble people in the united states to engage in acts of violence. the so-called caliphate or killed where they are. this is actually a place where cyber and counterterrorism merge because they are preaching this, pushing this poison through twitter and other vehicles trying to motivate people and then moving them to encrypted platforms to communicate with them to try and give them instructions. so the threat we face has mo

what did the fbi director tell you about what the fbi knew?igation on simpson, one of the two gunmen who made this attack in garland, texas. this is a warning that -- a generalized warning they sent to the garland police. it didn't have any specific information, per se. it only said that he had expressed interest in some of the social media activities about this mohammed cartoon contest event. the fbi did not know he was planning to attack. they did not know he was actually on route to garland, texas. so the fbi is careful to say the police department did not have any indications this guy was on his way. but he was among a list of people that the fbi was keeping an eye on. they knew that this event was drawing a lot of controversy. >> he had an ominous warning about future attacks similar to this maybe even worse. >> absolutely. he said that the way isis recruitment is changing online he is saying that it's getting harder and harder to figure out who is going to move from just being talked to online and communication with isis recruiters and a

how are the fbi profilers working with all this? >> of course, they're looking at the two individuals that have been identified at the shooters, deveesed. but they're also looking at who might the shooters have been after? we know of course the woman who's the head of the organization sponsoring this for lack of a better term cartoon drawing contest for which they were offering up to $10,000 for people to draw a cartoons of the prophet muhammad. i mean, you know, there's a fine balance i guess always between standing up for freedom and standing up and being provocative and painting a par get on yourself. and i think, you know, we have to consider that all the time. knowing that one of the speakers, one of the advertised speakers, at this organization was a member of the dutch parliament who is on record for add voluntary katding that the koran be banned. so if you take, you know, yvonne who does that and some of the anti-islamic rhetoric of the organization there, i think what the fbi has to figure out along with atf and other organ

the other thing, the fbi had already been monitoring them. we know that fbi went out to his apartment in phoenix, scoured that apartment, gathered evidence as they're trying to gather more clues. here's what we do know from court documents. this is from an indictment out of arizona. i want to read you an excerpt from this. it says the defendant falsely stated to special agents of the fbi that he had not discussed traveling to somalia when, in fact the defendant had discussed with others on or about may 29 2009 and traveling to somalia for the purpose of engaging in violent jihad. again, all of these tidbits that our producers have been gathering, wolf telling us a little bit about his background and a little bit of what happened just before that attack. >> we're just learning from some of his friends at that mosque in phoenix where he attended that mosque he went by the name of e-brahim and was a convert to islam. don't go far away. the event in texas brought two controversial figures together. first pamela geller the president of an organiza

explain to me as a former assistant director of the fbi, when the fbi tips off garland police -- and to be precise, it was that aln to simpson had expressed interest in this evident. where does the ball go from there? i think the ball was always in the court of garland pd from the beginning of event planning. even from that time, several months in advance, they knew

from an fbi agent perfect spektspective, lots of questions. i used to be an fbi agent. way they've written the indictment means individual 56 is "a" is likely to have cooperated. i think there will be a lot more story to be told here. >> we don't know who individual "a" is and what his alleged prior misconduct against individual "a" is. we don't know what that alleged prior misconduct hastert commit committed against individual "a" is. >> and if it happened during his tenure as speaker or his tenure in the house of representatives. we don't know. a lot to be determined. now it sounds like that is not the case. a lot of holes in that indictment. >> and he was very well liked. >> ran the house with a genuine spirit trying to accommodate both guys was known as the gentle giant as speaker. a lot of people will be shokt. >> we don't have any reaction from dennis hastert or his attorney. as soon as we get that we'll share it with our viewers as well. a mayjor development here in washington, d.c. let's talk about what's going on in iraq right now. barbara starr saying the admi

the fbi collecting evidence there. now the group that held the event, the american freedom defense initiative, they were offering a $10,000 reward for the best cartoon of the prophet muhammad. the group is known to have opposed a building of a mosque near ground zero and have been accused by some of having anti-islam views. the keynote was a right wing politician who was on al qaeda's hit list. that's a bit of a context but the attack of an isis sympathizers on u.s. soil. elton simpson sent a tweet saying may allah except us as mujahideen. what more are we learning as we await this press conference? >> we've been scoring through court documents. he was arrested in 2010 for allegedly -- this is for making a false statement relating to international and domestic terrorism. i want to go straight to an excerpt of that document to give us an idea of what we're talking about here. this is what the document says. the defendant falsie stated to special agents of the fbi that he had not discussed traveling to somalia when in fa

the fbi engages u.s. government agencies, the intelligence committee and a foreign counterpart in an effort to pursue increase information sharing with regard to identify foreign fighters combating radicalization and exchange is regarded outreach programs and policy changes. through this collaboration the fbi is working hard to ensure foreign fighters from other nations been entered the united states. the fbi has also expanded within our catechism division to the electronic, analyze and ultimately neutralize the threats emanating from this region to the united states a team for which tfos is an integral member. given the prolonged nature and expertise to which isil spreads its message to social media, the fbi remains concerned as u.s. persons will continue to be attracted to the region and maybe attempted to travel to fight. with regards to financial intelligence, in the early days of tfos it became apparent to us the critical importance of the financial intelligence and identifying the hijackers and the

i don't know why we need to get the fbi. >> because we can't subpoena stuff that the fbi can subpoena. >> well here's part of the problem, john that hillary clinton decided she was going to scrub her e-mail servers so we'll never really know unless we do get someone like the fbi involved. >> yeah but eric if you stuffed a turkey under your jacket and tried to walk out of aldi you would get investigated. you would probably spend some time in jail. but to your point hillary can scrub the server the donation controversy, benghazi controversy, the clintons seem to walk on water. what's most amazing is her personal popularity seems to remain high as bill pointed out probability for getting nomination. even after trustworthiness continues to go down. if there's any other feasible candidate, hillary is basically off the drawing board and out of the race. >> juan does hillary clinton, did she stuff the turkey down the front of her jacket? >> or yeah like some jameis winston crab legs or something. no look. i'm so surprised at you guys. you guys are supposed to be small government conservative

don't even have to talk to the fbi.'t want to talk. and that would have been the end of it. but if you talk to the fbi, bearing an official investigation, it has to be the truth. that's what tripped him up in this case. apparently, is that the excuse or the reason that he gave for these many transactions total itting almost $1 million in cash turned out to not be true when they investigated what he did with the pony. >> so let's explore this middle ground here, between not talking to these fbi agents and according to the indictment, lying about what he was doing with the money and why he was taking it out. if the former speaker had said that, you know, taking this indictment and saying that these allegations are true, although he still has his day in court, if he chooses to go that far. that he was paying someone to hide these allegations of sexual abuse. if he'd said that to the fbi, what then? >> if he had told the fbi the truth, this probably wouldn't get this far. and if he had written checks to the person he was pa

you'll see fbi agents holding a blue tarp. that is where the bodies of the two suspected gunmen are lying on the street. what is interesting as you look at the scene here they didn't even make it inside the parking lot of the civic center. they had gotten out of the car and started shooting before they, themselves, were shot down. >> become orderly. we're taking everybody a little furtherary way from the front of this building all right? >> reporter: a deadly scene in a dallas suburb. two gunmen shot dead after opening fire and wounding a security guard outside an event center where a cartoon drawing contest of the prophetmohammed was being held. law enforcement officials tell cnn the entire shooting lasted about 15 seconds. >> we prepared for something like this. >> reporter: the security officer, bruce joyner was treated at the hospital for an ankle gunshot wound and released. this video shows the moment gunfire erupted, an interview with the president of the organization sponsoring the event cut abruptly short as security r

hearing that the fbi did warn garland police. pamela brown has more on that. >> reporter: john and christine, james comey met with a group of reporters and the fbi sent a warning to police in garland, texas, three hours before elton simpson arrived with his accomplice and opened fire. we learned that the fbi sent a picture to local authorities and a possible license plate. this was just a bulletin. the fbi had no idea that elton simpson had left his home here in phoenix, arizona and was driving to dallas in order to launch this attack. it only saw simpson's social media post talking about the event. the concern was that he was someone, an extremist that they had their eyes on and they had an investigation on. tweeting about this. they alerted authorities. apparently the fbi had a list of people of possible extremists who may want to target the event and elton simpson was part of that list. also director comey talked about the hundreds if not thousands of people inside of the u.s. following isis online. he says it is a big concern

a bulletin from the fbi. to local texas police just hours before that thankfully foiled terrorist attack there, warning that an isis-inspired gunman could be coming to reek havoc. the acts tipped off law enforcement about that man. a local police officer shot and killed both simpson and his partner before they could slaughter any attendees at a controversial event featuring cartoons of mohammed. let's go to pamela brown. what exactly did this fbi bulletin say? what else are investigators learning today about these gunmen? >> reporter: i can tell you what we're learning from the fbi director is that fbi agents saw the tweets from simpson referencing the event in texas and that is what prompted the fbi to send that warning to garland police a few hours before the event. we're learning that the fbi had no idea that simpson and his roommate was driving from their house here in phoenix, arizona, to texas to launch that attack. fbi director tells cnn in a meeting with reporters today federal investigators had seen

edgar hoover fbi building. his letters he said the fbi is a joke, the fbi will not be catching us any time soon. >> the fbi, of course, had no idea about the unabomber's identity or whereabouts. and ted kaczynski took great pains to make sure he didn't leave a single clue. >> he would take files and he would file everything down after he built something so that he could ensure that he was getting rid of fingerprints. he was obsessed about leaving fingerprint evidence. >> kaczynski also planted false clues to throw investigators off the trail. >> he went to a bathroom at the bus station in missoula, montana, and he actually took hairs off the floor of the restroom. and then in subsequent bombs, he would take those hairs and put them in between layers of tape. and the whole idea was when the subsequent bombs exploded at a crime scene, we would think that hair might have something to do with the unabomber. when he was out on a run to collect information or to collect components for his bombs, he would make sure he

locals as opposed to the fbi. mr. roberts: we have worked with each other for a few years now. with regards to those numbers the hundreds or thousands, that was a quote our director last week. is that potential of the campaigns that can reach hundreds or thousands of individuals at a given time. we are not saying that there is thousands of people within the united states that are arming themselves today to conduct attacks, but that the reach and the breath is in the hundreds and the thousands. that they can reach a potentially have reached. the potential is there, but again it is the distinction between the individuals who have necessarily read the materials and those that have read the material that are marching down that continued radicalization. with regards to your second point, obviously, i'm a big fan the community outreach that we do and you and i have done a lot of work together on that matter, and so i think that the fbi plays an integral role in countering violent extremism. but i think that we only have

the fbi seems concerned to say the least.licating the fact is isis' ability to recruit on-line and not just in the jihadi chat rooms and forums but using twitter and producing slickly produced videos. the fbi knew about elton simpson before his texas attack. the fbi director said quote i know there are a lot of other elton simpsons out there it is almost like there's a devil sitting on their shoulder saying kill kill kill kill all day long. recruiting and tasking at the same time the way the old paradigm the way the inspired and directed breaks down here. congress seems uninspired the president's plan for taking the battle to isis on the ground. >> the two star general on the ground doesn't have the flexibility and resources to accomplish the mission. congress are trying to find accountability so there's more strengths and consistency in the president's policy. it's not coming fast enough. >> the administration says they are working hard to take the fight to isis. moderate syrians to take on the terror group so far there are

the fbi says it sent information just hours before the attack about one of the gunmen but the fbi director says it wasn't a warning because agents had no idea he had left phoenix. just three hours before sunday's shooting attack in garland, texas, the fbi says it sent police there a secure electronic message with the picture and car license number. the fbi says it acted as soon as it developed information that he was interested in going there but had no reason to believe he wanted to attack it or even that he left phoenix. there's no indication the fbi says, that the officer who ended up shooting simpson ever saw that bulletin. garland police declined to say what they did in response to the nchgs. they say the latest property shows how recruitment has changed. from a time when they had to seek out websites which the fbi could monitor to now when isis urges anyone who will listen to stage attacks whether every they have. james comey cold reporters, i know there are others out there. he says hundreds of people in the u.s. maybe thousands are following jihadist social media. the fbi is invest

i'm calling for the fbi to investigate the foundation.m my vote is equal to mr. dumbbells. that's true, but if you're armed with facts and logic, you can persuade other voters. the dumbbells can't. bill glen, your poll is slanted. i don't support mocking a religion, but i do support the first amendment. the poll is right on. controversy over the cartoons is not about free speech as we made abundantly clear. everybody knows that's protected. the poll is about behavior. tim in texas, i get my news from the blaze, fox, cbs and the net. fox is far right so i'm not so dumb to depend on it. perhaps you're missing the difference of opinion? it's not going to find that on the other tv agencies. wise up. pete snider colorado why aren't you and miller coming to denver in the fall? we have already been there, pete. sorry you missed us. just six shows left this year. st. louis, chicago, charlotte, north carolina hard rock hotel in south florida, phoenix and vegas. dates, times, it's all on the website. tickets going fast they make great gifts for mot

we learned that the fbi sent a picture to local authorities and a possible license plate. this was just a bulletin. the fbi apparently had no idea that elton simpson had left his home here in phoenix, arizona and was driving to dallas in order to launch this attack. it saw simpson's social media post talking about the event. the concern was he was someone, an extremist they had their eyes on that they had an investigation on tweeting about this. so they alerted authorities. apparently the fbi had a list of people of possible extremists who may want to target the event and elton simpson was part of that list. also director comey talked about the hundreds if not thousands of people in the u.s. following isis online. he says it is a big concern and there are hundreds of investigations into possible extremists. he said it is like finding a needle in a haystack and increasingly that needle is invisible. john and christine. >> pamela, thank you for that. >>> senior commander for al qaeda killed bring a u.s. drone strike. nasser al ansi had become a public face in the terror grou

fbi that are going to sunset on june 1 that people don't talk about. the first is section 215 is the vehicle through which the nsa telephony database was assembled but we use section 215 in individual cases and very important circumstances fewer than 200 times a year. we go to the fisa court in a particular case and get particular records that are important to a counterintelligence investigation or counterterrorism investigation. if we lose that authority which i don't think is controversial with folks that is a big problem because we will find yourselves in circumstances where we can't use a grand jury subpoena or we can't use of national security letter unable to obtain information with a court approval that i think everybody wants us to be able to obtain an individual cases. the second one that's a big problem is the real thing wiretap authorities that expire on june 1. this is an authority we have had in criminal cases since the early mid-80s where if a drug dealer or criminal is dropping phones repeatedly the judge can give authority to intercept

a resource multiplier for the fbi. the fbi is very good at what it does however not ominousant and not omnipresent. if you can use the help of 800,000 state and local law enforcement officers to be additional eyes and ears very much a team effort. this isn't just law enforcement, isn't just the intelligence community, this is the community. this is citizens, looking for indicateors indicators. looking for changes. the fbi acts based on indicators based on intelligence, and if you have millions of people looking and thinking about this as a possibility and sharing that information, then the fbi has an easier job of sorting through it and prioritizing. >> phil has isis changed the way local police do their jobs? >> i think it has. look how isis is transmitting communication. back in the day, the message would be communicated face to face. al qaeda had to talk to somebody in the 1990s, for example the at a camp in afghanistan. we need closed clandestine cells and keep them secret. it's hard to find operatives to get into

the fbi wants your help. >>> good evening. and it's great to have you with us here on a monday night. and we begin with fast-moving developments out of texas. stunning new details from that deadly shootout in waco. dramatic images of the aftermath. customers trapped inside as rival motorcycle gangs outside a bustling restaurant. nine dead 18 injured, more than 150 charged tonight. the fbi now on the case this evening. and tonight, those innocent bystanders inside. some hiding in a freezer until it was safe to come out. abc's phillip mena on the ground in texas for us tonight. >> reporter: tonight, this dramatic video. innocent bystanders watching a biker brawl unfold. >> in my nearly 35 years of law enforc this is the most violent and most gruesome scene that i have dealt with. >> reporter: sunday morning, hundreds of bikers from five gangs, including the notorious banditos, scimitars and cossacks, descend on waco. heading to this busy shopping plaza, and the twin peaks restaurant. which advertises bike nights posting on faceb

the fbi can start that investigation tomorrow.sn't need president obama's approval and it doesn't need attorney general lynch's approval. so my question tonight is for fbi director james comey. will you start an investigation? today we presented that question formally to the fbi. we will let you know what the agency says. and that's the memo. now for the top story tonight. reaction. joining us from washington charles krauthammer. let's start with baltimore. 1.8 billion in five years. >> right. >> okay? >> well, you can look -- yeah, you can reach the same conclusion by looking at a contrary event apart from the fact that when you pour the money in, it leaves no trace. look what happened to the seminole piece of social legislation. the 1996 be a abolition of welfare as entitlement signed by president clinton. next six years liberals were screaming this is going to throw kids into the street. will cause dessubstitution a spike in poverty the poverty rate for black children declined from 41.5% since records have been kept. that's bec

the number of people in the fbi. one of the challenges we since tw 2001 is integrating the knowledge and capabilities the fbi has and blend themwith the state and local police and law enforcement agencies and there has been institutional reluctance reluctance. >> this was supposed to be corrected after the 9/11 -- >> i think the intelligence share something good and not where it needs to be. the fact of the matter remains where i talked to commissioner davis in boston, and he was aware of the tsarnaev brothers after the brothers went off. i am not sure the fbi had advised him then but one wonders, 23 you advise the commissioner of the two suspected terrorists and it's not like russia picks up the phone every day and calls us and says we think you have terrorists in your midst, that doesn't happen. >> there was a warning, yeah. >> the burden on the fbi is too enormous and great. they can't do it by themselves. hopefully under jim comey, they will begin to share more information and call upon the locals to do leg work

. >>> the fbi warning hours before that terrorist attack in texas. the urgent bulletin sent to local police about one of the shooters. what did they know. pollen tsunami suddenly hitting very hard. why doctors say allergy season is coming all at once and what you can do to survive it. >>> and tom brokaw opens up about a very personal battle with cancer. how a devastating diagnosis changed his life and his family and how he's doing now. "nightly news" begins right now. >>> from nbc news world headquarters, this is nbc "nightly news." reporting tonight, good evening. >> we've been keeping a close eye on tornado warnings and severe thunderstorm watches popping up tonight in kansas texas and oklahoma, all this on the heels that have wild tornado outbreak that unleashed some 50 twisters across four states yesterday, including this big one in kansas. one of the biggest and most damaging within half mile wide twister we watched live near oklahoma city as we came on the air here in the east last night. that tornado killed at least one person and injured doze

or triple the number of people in the fbi. one of the challenges we've had since 2001 is integrating the knowledge and the capabilities that the fbi has and blend them with the state and local police -- with local law enforcement agencies. there's always been some institutional reluctance. there's an inertia -- pardon me? >> this was supposed to be corrected after the 9/11 commission, this kind of intelligence sharing and information -- >> i think the intelligence sharing is good. it's not exactly where it needs to be. the fact of the matter remains that i talked to commissioner davis in boston and he was awear of the tsarnaev brothers after the bombs went off. now, i'm not saying that the fbi did -- should have advised him then, but one wonders. actually i am saying what happens if you in advance of that incident advise the commissioner of these two suspected terrorists you've got -- it's not like russia picks up the phone every day and calls us and said look we think you've got some terrorists in your midst, how are the wife
