congressman harman and general keane and dr. jones i'm a great consumer of all the materials you put out and thank you for the help you have given us. but let me just target one particular area and that is syria. there have been reports about how dozens of americans if not more are going to syria to take part in the fighting in syria. they are siding with the al qaeda leading elements in syria and certainly there's a thread of them coming back here. to this country but even apart from that when you talk about western iraq and syria becoming a sanctuary for al qaeda. the four of you, do you think it's too late for us to provide aid to moderate elements in the syrian resistance or is it too much of a risk of us enabling al qaeda or al qaeda affiliates? that will be my last question i ask each of the ford beauty could respond, which we be doing in syria and is it too late to what effect will it have? >> thank you for your opening statement and i must say for chairman emeritus you are looking very good. >> not as good as you though.

i agree with congresswoman harman.proach in its largely nonkinetic. the radical islamists understand us better than we do them. as such, they fear our ideas, democracy and capitalism. advancement of these ideas in the region is a major threat to radical islamists because it makes it all the more difficult to bend the peoples will enforce surrender. this is why the arab spring is such a threat to them. none was demonstrating in the streets for radical islamic jihad to achieve a better life. the people in streets were looking at what the united states and the west has two help change their lives, political and social justice, economic opportunity. that is democracy and capitalism. therefore the radicals are all in to influence the income that is so uncertain and unpredictable. on the contrary ask any of our friends in the region about u.s. policy in the middle east and the two most frequent descriptions are, disengagement and retreat. no one can say with certainty depending on open sources that any one of these al qaeda

joining me now from the world economic forum in davos, jane harman, president of the woodrow wilson center and key member of the intelligence committee for years. first, your reaction to this conclusion by the privacy panel that the data collection it illegal and should be abandoned? >> well, i don't think it's illegal. i was in congress when we amend the foreign intelligence surveillance act and set in place safeguards and made sure not only did this program comply with law but it was subject to federal court review and congressional oversight. so i don't think it's illegal but i do think we may have reached a tipping point here. this is the latest group to weigh in and say that this vast collection of data is not that useful and infringes substantially on personal privacy. the president tried to address this last friday and said in a short period of time he wants recommendations, but i think at this point we should seriously consider not -- >> congresswoman harman, let me interrupt you just for a moment. we've got breaking news out of miami. stand by if you will. right now in miami, just

is obsession with justin bieber last week actually was really happy to hear congressman harman saying some really really cutting things about the n.s.a. . let's take a look i think at this point we should seriously consider not not can comment on it let me let me get down to you congresswoman let me interrupt you just for a moment we've got some breaking news out of miami standby. right now in miami justin bieber has been arrested on a number of charges the charges teach reading the charges including resisting arrest and driving under the influence. appearing now before the judge for his bond hearing let's watch. i mean it isn't any more important justin bieber is in court than global unconstitutional spying lee i don't understand why you have a problem with the right justin bieber is a national treasure not our nation canada but still he is a national treasure and you can make fun of you can make fun of unfettered capitalism obama the pope but i will not stand here while you insult the be all right that isn't cbldf this we are going to face as a baby all of a sudden dealing with the

harman, good to see you. as you know you are original member of this body when it was a select committee. without any jurisdiction. we still have a little bit around. we're working on that, too. today's hearing seeks to examine whether u.s. policy to address unrest in the middle east, the splintering of al qaeda and the withdrawal of u.s. forces from afghanistan and iraq adversely affect homeland security in the united states. such an examination must begin with an authoritative statement of this administrations policies and actions in each area. however, because there is no witness from the administration for us to question about these policies, it is unclear how this hearing will aid this committee's understanding of these critical issues, or help inform our oversight of the policies necessary to impact this nation's homeland security. it appears that this hearing begins with the assumption that can maintain safety and security within its borders, this nation must use its military to address every threat ou

harman has now let's use the government's largest private security background check contractor of defrauding the country of millions of dollars the company coming under fire is us investigations and services. and in the absence of filing six hundred and sixty thousand flyers background investigations which is forty percent of the cases the company pushed through to the government in a four year period is all laid out at twenty five teams civil complaint filed by the justice department which will now join a whistle blowers law suit against you as i guess that's underway in alabama district court the complaint charges that the company used its close ties with the federal government to conceal its practice of flushing or dumping it back from tax that means the company would often push through governing cases they didn't have proper review. federal officials see you as high as conducted on faulty two thousand eleven background investigation of both the advert snow day. he and arundel acts as a defense contractor who killed twelve people in a shooting spree at the washington navy yard last year.

leno and isn't this really the problem with libertarianism that it only what what works in the ad or harman or are doing in stay in states where the democrats control both houses of the lead i'd wager i'm not here is a. problem it's a libertarian problem these democrats are going to overturn that's a silly. actually i prefer what tom was doing to what christie did during hurricane sandy where he actually brutalized for a while exiled residents of south jersey of the code the the barrier islands in the coastal areas there what is marked in the law doesn't live a fact that this water is poisoned and individual people don't have the ability to find out how dangerous it is and the governor is saying you be the scientists i'm not a sideline he's not a scientist he is not a scientist and i applaud him for saying so yeah he's being completely honest with the people he does or does it was not demonstrate how libertarianism which is wait until there's a harm he's not a liberal or how is he a libertarian he's a democratic governor and west virginia this is a good mother terri and this is true absolut

it would basically be a war resolution. >> congresswoman harman has already given advice to the congress yes, right here. >> to answer your question, mr. ignatius, david, do you, you mentioned that you are really still very concerned about the revolution in face of iran. i just want to make a quick comment that you have to remember that this government came into power with the platform of anti-u.s. and anti-israel. so it's really difficult for them at this point especially khamenei, to abandon that because this is basically the constituency that they need to support. but this case is burden much fading away and it is really not very attractive to many iranians. about a month ago there was an anniversary of 1979 embassy takeover, and my daughter who's a journalist better reported that there was a march with the students, young students, elementary school students walking on the streets of tehran and launching anti-u.s. slogans. when they were asked why are they here? a bunch of the voice answered, we're just lucky and happy that we'rewe are not going to school today. so you can imagine ma

congresswoman harman, it's indeed a pleasure to once again have the capacity to share a moment in this room with you. you'll be pleased to know, and i thank you for raising the issue of cybersecurity, because it remains a remarkable focus. and in the aftermath of the incident which just occurred with target, that's one kind of a cyberincident. criminal enterprises likely wholly separate fra the state sponsored activity may take place. i want you to know we have made great progress and we'll be marking up this afternoon a cyberbill. but i am worried as well about the concerns that we may have in this nation as we deal with a narrative in this moment that appropriately reflects in the aftermath of the n.s.a. revelations and other kinds of things. we have a better understanding, but there is a narrative that may be taking place which is privacy versus security. it's so easy for us to move so quickly away from attention to the security. so i am going to ask if you would give me your sense of where we are in the form of the cyberpreparation to deal with this issue of paying attention to pro

senator rick santorum, former congresswoman from california, now the head of the wilson center, jane harmanloomberg view columnist, jeffrey goldberg. and chris mathews. i want to get to the substance of the debate about the president's leadership in national security affairs, particularly afghanistan. here is a key excerpt from the book. gates writing about the march 20 meeting in is the situation room. gates write, "as i sat there, i thought, the president doesn't trust his commander, can't stand afghan president hamid karzai, doesn't believe in his own strategy, and doesn't consider the war to be his. for him, it's all about getting out." chris mathews, how scathing is this of obama's leadership? >> well, it has a certain tone to it, but i think he's right in the sense that president obama ran on the campaign to get us out of afghanistan. that was his mission. there's nothing wrong with that. he makes it sound like there's something wrong with that. that's tonal. the policy of this president when he came into office, got into office, was wind down two wars, and he did so. maybe what wasn'

i agree with congresswoman harman.s is the whole of government approach and is largely non kinetic. the radical islamists understand this better than we do them. assets they fear our ideas, democracy and capitalism. the advancement of these ideas in their region is a major threat to radical islamists because it makes it all the more difficult to to been to the people's will and force surrendered. this is why the arabs bring in such a threat to them. no one was demonstrating in this tree for radical islam to achieve a better life. the people in the streets were looking at what the united states in the west has to help change their lives, political and social justice, economic opportunity. that is democracy and capitalism . there for the radicals are all lanes and influence the outcome is still uncertain to an unpredictable on the contrary, as many of my friends in the region of the u.s. policy in the middle east and the two most frequent descriptions dissing days with a retreat. no one can say that with certainty depend
