he was the acting director between david petraeus and john brennan and he used the term scoff when he was talking about the work of people like organizations in new america in trying to understand the number of civilians killed. the public record has critical list. it is actually much lower. but the agency officials will routinely mocks those acting in good faith trying to understand and present the public stepping up and saying what actually happened and accounting for some of those that have happened over the years of. this single event accounts for around a fifth of all of the casualties reported by the cia in pakistan and the just one of them the united states insisted no more than 60 died in pakistan and the decade of the covert bombing. the refusal to confirm may represent the highest in the entire covert drone war that illustrates the problems associated in the secret civilian intelligence service having been given command of the war. the un investigated that they would like this creates a situation of huge with all the while at the same time an impossibility to achieve account

i saw the director of central intelligence agency, john brennan, was on chips network over the weekend talking about how these programs, authorities were integral to the efforts of the intelligence community. so i would defer to those professals. they can give you the best assessment. all i can say is make the fact-based observation that there are tools our national security professionals say are important to their work. that today they don't have because of a bunch of republican senators who play politics with this issue. >> the last question, rand paul had his own plan to hire 1,000 more f.b.i. agents to do some of the work that would substitute for bulk data collection. what does the white house think of that plan to hire more people to do the digging instead of bulk collection? >> i haven't seen the specifics of that proposal. mike. >> given the president early queasyness with some these programs, some of the national security programs, that were left in by the previous question, is he comfortable that if and when this gets re-upped again in the next few days that history judges th

john kerry is in vienna tonight on his first overseas trip since breaking his leg a bike ride last month. kerry and his iranian counterpart have until tuesday to finalize a nuclear agreement. state correspondent margaret brennan is traveling with kerry. >> i think it's fair to say that we're hopeful. >> reporter: secretary of state john kerry is under pressure to deliver president obama's chief foreign policy goal-- a nuclear accord with iran. this week, iran's supreme leader made that job more difficult publicly stake out several hard lines. nuclear inspectors would not be allowed to inspect military sites, a key demand from the u.s. and all financial sanctions on iran should be lifted immediately, not gradually as the u.s. has proposed. and there's pressure at home too. several former obama aides warned in a recent letter that the emerging deal, "may fall short of meeting the administration's own standard of a good agreement." james jeffrey, the president's former ambassador to iraq signed that letter. >> we are worried that the administration is going to do a rush to signature, and essentially cave to the supreme leader's most recent and absurd red lines. >> reporter: ali rezaian's stake in a diplomatic br

secretary of state john kerry is trying to broker a deal that would freeze iran's nuclear program. margaret brennan is covering the talks in vienna, what do we know? >> reporter: well, u.s. negotiators say they need a few more days to seal a deal. plus congressional leaders told secretary kerry not to rush. they gave him until july 9th to deliver them in a court. but they are going to scrutinize the fine print of this agreement and say the devil is really in the details. ter-- kerry needs to present an air-tight agreement in order to avoid having congress reject it. and negotiators tell us this is the last best chance to secure what could be a legacy defining deal for president obama. >> glor: margaret f progress is being made, then why is the iranian foreign minister being home? >> well the minister left forte ran tonight to consult with leaders there about some key remaining issues. negotiators in vienna want him to clarify whether iran's supreme leader is truly backtracking on some previously agreed upon terms. just the other day he said he was going to bar inspectors from military bases. and th

upholding the affordable care act, i think it's safe to say, is it not, can you now add john roberts name the name of brennanen suitor and other republican nominees that conservatives will be gritting their team about for years to come where a republican nominee actually helped uphold democratic legislation. >> upholding legislation is not a function of which party was primarily responsible for enacting it. john roberts, i think, to his credit, was a very good lawyer in these cases. he's not going to be remembered by history alongside earl warren and william brennan because he's not a liberal. he's really a conservative. and sometime conservatives follow the law. and i think that's what he has done. >> sometimes conservative? you've been so condescending of this decision. i have to let mika read the national review editorial she's been wanting to read. i've been really patient because i'm in front of the church and this is about reconciliation. i can only take so much. let's go to ari next. >> the national review editorial board writes roberts gets it wrong again. the text of the affordable care act authoriz

john roberts has now voted in favor of obamacare twice. but by and large, these justices turn out as expected. you have to go back to the eisenhower administration and earl warren and william brennan and maybe nixon with harry blackmun to find justices who really turn out to be big surprises. john roberts is an institutionalist. he is an old-fashioned conservative, and this is an old-fashioned conservative decision. when you look at roberts' record on civil rights, on overturning the parts of the voting rights act, on citizens united and all the deregulations of campaigns, john robert has been a very conservative chief justice. i think what today's decision illustrates is just how far conservatives have pushed the court with, frankly, i think a very weak lawsuit that they got three votes. so i am a little less persuaded john roberts has turned out to be some kind of surprise. if i could add one more thing, it is a healthy thing for a democracy to debate supreme court justices in presidential elections. it is a big part of what presidents do, and to the extent this injects the supreme court into the presidential election, i think that's all to the good because people should pay att

secretary of state john kerry is trying to meet a key policy on the agenda. margaret brennan has more details on a new roadblock threatening the deal. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. negotiators say they need a few more days and they told secretary kerry not to rush. kerry still recovering from a recent biking accident now has until july 9th to present them with an agreement. it's his weapons inspector who will search iran's suspected nuclear site and how much access they get is the main sticking point holding up these talks. iran's top negotiator left last night for a 24-hour trip home to discuss that very issue because, charlie, iran's supreme leader recently said inspectors will only get access to some of it. thanks margaret. >>> this morning the ntsb is trying to figure out what caused a deadly crash of a small plane into a massachusetts home. the single aircraft took off from an airport in massachusetts on sunday but the pilot got into trouble and smashed into a house. susie steimle has more. >> reporter: you wouldn't expect a plane to fly out of the sky and cra
