and some of them will go on to kill americans again or at least join a jihadist group.ke any other criminal justice system, you always have a bit of -- a few of them will always go back to old ways. there's nothing you can do about it. >> general hurtling, i wonder how we see this playing out. who is going to say, yes, bring khalid sheikh mohammed to my state? you hear lawmakers talk about it, they feel like it's a security concern, it makes them perhaps a terrorist target to have this trial going on. how do we expect that that's really going to happen? do you? >> if i could clarify a little bit, brianna. some of the things bob was saying, just put some numbers on it. there have been over 700 prisoners since guantanamo was opened. there are only 132 there now. so both president obama and president bush before him have already released about 600 prisoners. 132 remaining. of those, 83 of them are yemenis. that's going to be very tough right now. 64 of those 132 are cleared for release right now. so the president is going to be able to take care of those. 36 additional one

with military support, and the jihadist sources of funding will be closed off. u.s. secretary of state colin -- calling i.s. by its arabic name. >> it's much harder than when we started for dash to assemble and strength, to travel in convoys, and to launch concerted attacks. no large unit can move forward aggressively without worrying about what would come down on it from the skies. >> the anti-i.s. alliance plans to meet at least every six months. it's not yet clear where the next conference will take place. >> earlier, we spoke to our correspondent in brussels, and he summed up the mood after the meeting. >> one's success story of this conference was definitely the impression that the new prime minister of iraq made. secretary of state john kerry confirmed that. things have really changed. not only is he trying to form a truly integrative government in iraq, but really including all different religions in trying to help with ground troops. that is crucial to the coalition. things are really looking up in iraq, it seems, and that is what the foreign minister has sai

you have a father, who's the uncle, who - as a jihadist and potentially as a -- as a fedayeen, a fighter goes to die in combat. and you're off with this deal. you go to mumbai, you get to kill anyone you want, anyone of these bad people out there. >> so they tell them in advance they're going to kill. >> yes, yes i think there is a process of selection you know and only the most capable and malleable get chosen. >> when in the process of the three months that you spent there did you get the different ingredients for this documentary? for instance, how far along the way did you get the telephone call, the audio? >> i was -- i'd say after about six or seven weeks i was told that i would get the audio calls. >> where did you live while you were there? i was in an old hotel in the center of town. -- >> i was in an old hotel in the center of town. i couldn't afford to stay in one of the big hotels. and i kind of liked it. i had -- it was a slightly rundown hotel opposite the main hospital. >> when you do this do they give you -- whoever bought this either channel 4 here or hbo do they tell yo

group on the planet, thatte they are the most successful jihadist group, that they will succeed, thatthey are an insurmountable force and they are convincing people to abandon other groups and join them. they're convincing donors to stop giving money to other groups and give to them. and we don't know what he this is going to develop into. but you could foresee in the very near future where other groups begin to align themselves with them just to remain relevant. by the way, as a side note, there is an additional danger to isil's spread. that is, that the other al qaeda-linked groups, the other jihadist groups in the world who are now losing recruits, feel an urgency to go out and carry out some speck tack cal attack, like here in the homeland or arab interests. they have an interest in carrying out a spectacular attack. but back to my original poirnghts the danger here is that these groups -- new groups in order to remain relevant and not lose their fighters may decide they're going to pledge allegiance to isil and the host of groups that are already exploring that are dangerous. the

sadly, this comes one day after a jihadist gunman held more than a dozen people hostage for 16 hoursin a cafe in sydney, australia. here with reaction the imam siddeeq. another two days and two campbells of radical islamists using your religion to commit acts of terror. this is happening again and again and again. what i don't see are the voices of moderate muslims joining together loudly condemning and going to battle against these extremists. why don't we see that? after all these terror attacks. why? >> first of all, sean, god's name most merciful, let's identify this correctly. everybody that reported what took place in sydney said this man had a serious mental problem and had been on the list, the watch list in australia for a long time. and as far as what's going on with the taliban, they are just totally off the hook. you can't contribute that or lay that at the feet of islam. >> are they off the hook in saudi arabia, are they off the hook in saudi arabia where they practice shariah law the are you going to condemn all of radical islamists that treat women the way they treat t

>> fairly muted both in the middle east and also on jihadist websites and social media. obviously groups like isis and al qaeda may look to exploit this for recruitment and propaganda purposes. so far the reaction has been muted. there have been some calls by english speaking jihadists on social media, an isis fighter who is canadian for two of the psychologists linked to this program to be beheaded. by and large, a lot of indifference on these websites. for these people, this is old news. they already have a very dark view of the united states in any case. after all, many of these people believe the united states is at war with islam, wants to exterminate the muslim religion. i think we're likely to see less of a reaction than in some past controversies, notably the cartoons controversy, the film that came out just before the benghazi attack. those touched on deep religious raw nerves. this report doesn't touch on those in the same way. >> i'm curious, paul. is it too early to tell. an intelligence source tells our barbara starr the threat of retaliatory attacks could c

troops on alert, jihadist rallying on line. muslim extremists are issuing a worldwide call to retaliate for the so-called torture report. it's graphic revelations of how the cia brutally interrogated some 9/11 terror suspects, it could put americans in the cross hairs at home or abroad. just minutes from now, the house speaker john boehner is due to hold a news conference. when mr. boehner speaks, we'll take it live for you. the cia's tactics described in chilling detail including waterboarding, sleep deprivation and ice water baths and worse. the senate committee concluded that the harsh tactics simply did not work in getting valuable intelligence. and the justice department says it will not reopen its inquiry into whether crimes were committed, raising new questions of accountability and blame. we're covering all angles of this from capitol hill to the pentagon and beyond as this developing story unfolds. let's begin coverage with jim acosta at the white house. good morning, jim. >> good morning, carol. the white house has sc
