well we're going to talk about what is our means with a journalist and former cia officer jack rice. hey hey guys act on i'm going to start out by asking you what do you think general david petraeus brings to the table going for the cia well it's basically it is incredible about experience and on the ground experience here today huge change time over the last ten years really the experience that the military has had that has impacted all of those men and women who get involved he brings that to the table in a sense that's good but there is a negative that can generally come with that and that's the fact that you see just sort of who are you know the lines to the point that the agency could potentially be swallowed up by the department that's when you start talking about dollars and actual power you realize just how much bigger the is going to take you back to two thousand and one thousand to two thousand three hundred donald rumsfeld secretary but it's you saw it back then was this. kind of god to essentially small luck the roles of the state department and the successfully that you

and earlier i spoke to former cia special agent jack rice for some insight on this decision i asked him what he thinks general petraeus brings to the job here's his response. well let's face it you know that incredible amount of experience and on the ground experience we have seen a huge change over time over the last ten years really the experience that the military has had that has impacted all of those men and women involved he brings out to the table and in a sense that's good but there's a negative that can potentially come with it and that's the fact that you see this sort of boring of the winds to the point at the agency could potentially be swallowed up by the department if it's when you start talking about dollars and actual power you realize just how much bigger he is going to take that check to two thousand and one thousand and two thousand three hundred donald rumsfeld secretary to parents and what you saw back then was the effort by the pentagon to essentially small what the roles of the state department and he successfully did that in many many ways the fear is that some o

waned despite calls from the top military brass for a more gradual drawdown a former cia officer jack rice says that washington has confused its enemies in the country. i think that the department of defense and the white house are probably mischaracterizing how this is successful if you will one of the problems is that somehow the u.s. has broken the taliban or separated the taliban from al qaeda well the fact is is that the taliban and kind of were separate organizations from the beginning and to simply characterize them as bad guys as all the same guy was one of the biggest mistakes that the united states ever met i think you are going to see more instability when i talk to people in other parts of the country they look at president karzai as a crook they see him as somebody who is doing nothing but protecting himself and his own democracy is not there but you know what at the same time anybody who thinks that the u.s. or the or the europeans can roll into a country and simply say we have decided we're going to have no into with democracy and you put it in equals i can't imagine any cou

counterterrorism strategy we have to ask if today somalia tomorrow where else joining me to discuss this is jack rice former cia officer and criminal defense attorney jack thanks so much for joining us tonight for starters ok so now we find out that as early or i guess as late as a week ago could have even come earlier there were drone strikes in somalia carried out by the u.s. i know it's not really shocking news but what would you call it. well again shocking is absolutely not the word in fact he's was really expecting we've seen this expansion going on now for some time this is not the first set of strikes we've seen from special ops units using predator drones i think part of the problem what really makes this difficult is that it's so easy at least it appears to be easy you know to me you can all of a sudden simply fly over a country running down death from the sky and there's no real political problem because you pull back out but the real problem with it is it while it may seem like it's a good idea the short term which are also good news intentionally alienating not just tens of thousands hun

because the taliban's momentum had been turned but an officer who's now a journalist and lawyer jack rice says it's a mistake that local afghan forces are not ready to take over. i think that the department of defense and the white house are probably mischaracterizing how this is successful if you will one of the problems is that somehow the u.s. has broken the taliban or is separating the taliban from al-qaeda well the fact is is that the taliban and kind of were separate organizations from the beginning and to simply characterize them as the bad guys as all the same guy was one of the biggest mistakes that the united states ever met and i think you are going to see more instability i mean when i talk to people they look at cars i president karzai as a crook they see him as somebody who's doing nothing but protecting himself and his own and that he was completely incompetent and i think we look at a lot of the numbers that are out there it establishes that the democracy is not there but you know what at the same time anybody who thinks that the u.s. or the or the europeans can roll into

why did it take them so long to figure this out and what we do about it join me to discuss this is jack rice former cia officer and criminal defense attorney jack i have problems here are all over the board going to comes with a story let's see if we can break some of them down one by one but let's think about this right we have contractors that have really flooded into afghanistan to get these giant grants from the u.s. government from the military and now they're hiring local afghans and they're paying them a much more than afghan government could actually pay these afghan so obviously they're opting to work for the foreign contractors and they are for their actual afghan government but then once all of this at some point has to come to an end they're going to be screwed and they're going to be in depression i just can't figure out why nobody thought of this before they actually did it. well you know i think in the end what's really going on here is that everybody wanted a really simple answer to this we would just go and beat the hell out of everybody pay off where we couldn't beat the he

trend here in this court, but we've held hearings here on lilly ledbetter's my discrimination case, jack rice's age discrimination case. and each of these has seen that five justices made it more difficult for victims of discrimination hold their corporate employers accountable. if they are a threat going through this or am i reading too much into them? >> i feel you're not reading too much into it. it is true if you look at employment discrimination cases businesses have won some and lost time the general trend is bound to interpret the law to make it more difficult to bring the underlying claims. again, nobody has ever reached the merit of these claims, but i think there is a fair cause for concern that because i procedural threshold the court that seems at odds with the substantive legal standards that it existed this case. the court may in the future may similarly tightly and so this may very well be another case in which the attendant do not to title vii of the civil rights act of 1991 has been in our enemies interpretations of the law. >> have a lot more questions, but never in the blackn
