in new york, michael hanna of the century foundation. please do have both of them. what do we know now, and what does it indicate? deborah hersman: they looked at the radar track, and there will be a couple different sources of information for them to take a look at. there is civilian radar but also military radar, intelligence information coming in. they will try to overlay all of that and incorporate the information they have from different sources to create a mosaic of sorts so they can see the picture of little more clearly, which is going to be an international effort where a number of sources are probably going to aid in that effort. charlie: any evidence this is terrorism? michael hanna: it is surprising that this really early stage in the investigation how much the issue has come up already. all of intimation that it is in fact terrorism.
