this offensive in kandahar where they're going to in kandahar city and i think by next door in the hellman province and doing damage to the counterterrorism streaks by using the drones so you know, i remember in june of 2007 with the general under general petraeus the surge of forces is completed and the surge of operations is now completed. ang the surge of forces has been completed and 100,000 troops in afghanistan and i think the surge of operations in the next few months. >> bret: the new york times attempted bomber was tied back to the pakistani taliban and publicly when that was happening in the early stages the administration talked was a clumsy attempt and the pakistani taliban perhaps wouldn't be able to launch something across the sea and yet now there's a lot of talk of possible attacks and possible imminent plans to launch something in europe. >> al-qaeda is degraded. it's on the run. it's in hiding, but it's not destroyed. and they haven't had a major attack in years, they've had these, the one-offs here and there, which is not impressive if you're looking for something that w

. >> thank you, professor hellman. let me go from the sublime to the practical, if i may.minds me of a story soon after we indicted zacarias moussaoui in alexandria. we were visited by the chief prosecutor from the newly minted tribunals that were to be held in guantanamo bay. we said to him, what can we do for you? he said, why do you not give me all of your evidence? i said, why? he said, because in a couple of weeks, you will not have moussaoui. we are going to move him into the military. he will be moved into the military system and we will have him and others tried, sentenced, and executed before you ever get this thing off the ground in the civilian court system. three years later, a different chief prosecutor can to visit us in alexandria. he was a marine corps lieutenant colonel. he said, you know, it turns out that the marines were really good at launching amphibious landings, but not so good at administering the judicial system. can you help us with this? we tried to in some form or another since then. but we lived with the moussaoui case for four and a half year

[applause] >> thank you, professor hellman. let me go from the sublime to the practical, if i may. it reminds me of a story, soon after we indicted zacarias moussaoui. we were visited by the chief prosecutor from the newly- minted tribunals that were to be held at guantanamo bay. we sat down in our office in alexandria and said, what can we do for you? he said, why not give me all of your evidence. we said, why? he said, because, within a couple of weeks, you will not have moussaoui. we are going to move him into the military system and we will have him and others tried, sentenced, and executed before you ever get this thing off the ground in a civilian court system. about three years later, a different chief prosecutor came to visit us in alexandria. he was a marine corps lieutenant colonel. it turns out the marines were really good at landing -- at launching amphibious landings, but not good at administering the judicial system. can you help us with this? we lived through the moussaoui case for about four and a half years with the notion that anytime a learned decision would be h

own experience of meeting people in afghanistan, in some of the most difficult areas in parts of hellman, walking around and meeting people a couple of months ago, in those areas that have been made more secure and more people can see health care being improved, then the hearts and minds of local people are certainly behind us. we are coming up to parliamentary elections in afghanistan on the 18th of september. i don't want to raise the hopes or expectations, given what has happened in previous elections, but will undoubtedly see increased numbers of people what to take part in the future of the country, which they would not be able to do in a taliban country. i think it would be wrong to leap to the conclusion that the local population wants us there. do we still have many problems, too many people working for the taliban? of course we do. but i think what a bit of progress has been made. >> we have been talking about a political strategy in afghanistan. sometimes the afghan government doesn't seem to be fully behind it. sometimes the government of the united states does this seem to be
