judy miller is an investigative reporter and author of the new book the story; are reporters journey.ashington bureau chief for the chicago sun times. judy, are you surprised that hilary clinton continues to maintain a healthy distance from any media questions? >> a healthy distance and a healthy dislike for us. there is no reason why she should like us. "the new york times" and other in institutions haven't been too kind. but after 28 days she had to come out and say something and kudos to ed henry for luring her out. carly fiorina has answered more than 300 questions from the press. hilary clinton about eight. but at long last we got a few answers to a few questions. >> and even at that she didn't really answer some of the questions. but she did stop the clock on the newspaper time table that has been keeping track a month since she answered any questions. she has been dispensed with that by giving a few so-called answers. >> each of the questions could have been the subject of a long meety interview. this is a -- meaty -- tactic that front runners take usually. why look for trouble

i'm joined by judy miller of the manhattan institute. also a fox news contributor. todd starnes fox news radio, along with matt welch of "reason" magazine. do you believe these claims? >> yeah i tend to believe them because we've heard similar claims from others. the adl said from the start of the year until now there have been 36 arrests of americans linked to various plots, either at home or abroad. i think that everyone is very worried about the explosion of social media and the impact it is having on wannabe jihadis. melissa: todd, to be clear, they're claiming they're behind these attacks. it doesn't mean they were in on the planning necessarily. but at the very least it is isis inspired. that's scary. >> that's true. and look, we don't know, they may be blowing smoke up their hookah we don't know. the cold reality we know there are 50 cases fbi is looking at. at least 50 states. we don't know how many cases in the states. we do know there are homegrown elements and looking watching so-called freedom fighters overseas and they're being inspired, these young, th

joining us, fox news contributor judy miller. what was the point of this russia trip?ed up lots of frequent-flier miles. david: at our expense. >> he had frank and cordial exchanges. david: which means nothing. >> which means nothing was decided. there was no progress on many of the crises confronting us. >> we have a lot of foreign policy disasters offer the past year-and-a-half. we can put them up on the screen. russia, we failed to keep them out of crimea. they took it over. iraq we pulled out troops too soon, led to growth ever isis, et cetera, et cetera. the list goes on. >> exactly. david: is there any foreign policy issue you think we could win at? >> cuba. uba? >> maybe. even raul castro is holding back, saying not so fast. we want diplomatic exchange but maybe not at the ambassadorial level. you know, dave, the problem really, that kerry loves to talk. and he loves to listen. and that is what we have now. we're in listening mode with russia. russia, which has just deployed batteries to the ukrainian border. david: they don't care. >> they have agreed not to co

judy miller is pulitzer prize-winning investigative reporter author and fox news contributor. weet is washington bureau chief for the chicago sun seems times. does that editorial judy have a point? is it the, have the media been complicit i guess in blaming the messenger for the event that apparently brought on the attack? >> yes i think some have. and if you listen to chris matthews on msnbc or chris cuomo on cnn, chris matthews actually said he wondered whether or not pam geller is draw muhammad contest had to cause the events that had unfolded in garland texas. i want to be very clear about this, jon. i'm not objective on this topic. i went to jail for 85 days to defend the first amendment. i am a first amendment absolutist. there is no but after that. but they were provocative. i am aware of pam geller's group. i know that the ad l brands them a hate group. so does the southern poverty law center. their event was a draw muhammad cartoon contest. the winner of which was a former croatian muslim who said, i'm drawing this because muhammad says i can't. that is not offensive s

ladies and gentlemen please join me in welcoming judy miller. [applause] thank you for the kind introduction it's a pleasure to be in the company of a good friend who marked the occasion of the latest book. i thought we would start out with just some softball questions of how you got into journalism because i thought we would have plenty of time to talk about the more commercial aspects. but behind every journalist, there is a series of mentors or inspirational people. i understand you started in journalism on the progressive application at the height of the protests against vietnam was a close friend and editor. >> i was a graduate student decided i was never going to be anti-communist and since i hated the sight of blood i could be a doctor. journalism was an interesting way to spend one's life. but i started doing freelance stories and build woodrow wilson school funding the middle east for a summer which many universities did i went to start out in israel and i got really hooked in the arab-israeli conflict. and in those days if people forge

i'm joined by david asman and judy miller of the manhattan institute. she is fox news contributor. also author of "the story." monica crowley is here. wash on times online opinion editor and fox news contributor. monica, i let you kick it off. >> well you can tell the ash carter is secretary of defense not secretary of state because diplomacy not one of his strong points here. he is making a legitimate part that the iraqi army for the most part, gave up the fight. however we wouldn't have been in the situation if president obama hadn't withdrawn all the american troops f there is significant american presence the iraqi army would be backed up by the u.s. army. this goes to the feet of president obama and his original policy of withdrawing all u.s. forces. the challenge is to do what president bush did when he recognized his strategy wasn't working. he took it on the chin politically and went and embraced the surge and it worked. president obama is different political animal. i don't think he will change course. >> that is not what is happening here. unfortunately the iraqis are dou

we bring back ed rollins, judy miller and michael goodwin. what do you think?rom now, when it is may of next year i will be able to tell you exactly. at this point in time i think there are five or six very serious people in this race. you can't count bush out in spite of the fact he has had a lousy couple of weeks. he will have an enormous sum of money. the game is going to get over quick. california new york new jersey that don't traditionally matter in the nominating process this time can matter. they are late. at the end of the game you may need to get that. the crowded field is going to keep anybody early on from being a winner. >> the question now to all candidates and the media is would you have gone into iraq if you knew now what we -- if you knew then what we now know? the other question to ask hillary, is should we have pulled out of iraq 100% now that we know that isis has taken control and taken all the american weaponry? >> that's the nightmare question for her and an easier question for someone like rubio who distinguished himself this week by def

it was the kind of reporting that got judy miller fired.y continue to do it. >> yet some officials have said it on the record. loretta lynch for example has made very severe statements about what could happen without these provisions of the patriot act. are we not supposed to report what they say when they're on the record? >> no of course on the record should absolutely be reported. and then there should be reporting that goes along with it from people who dispute that or from facts that undermine it. i mean, here's the thing, brian. >> so your point is one of the quotes from her was will you be less safe. that was one of her quotes. i think what you're saying is there should be follow-up when in fact something expires and the country's not less safe. >> right. i mean the obama administration put together a panel to ask this panel of experts who had access to classified information are these metadata domestic spying programs keeping us safe? and their own panel concluded that there has not been a single terrorist attack stopped by this pro

that certainly has been judy miller's preference as a veteran journalist. but a decade ago judy ended up the subject of not one but two big controversies one involving the question of iraq's alleged possession and pursuit of weapons of mass destruction, and the other involving the disclosure of valerie plame as a cia a operative. judy is here this evening to discuss those experiences and much more all chronicled in her new memoir, "the story: a reporter's journey." the book covers the full span of judy's long, accomplished career in journalism nearly three decades of which were with "the new york times." she joined the paper's washington bureau in 1977 and spent the mid 1980s abroad in cairo and paris returning to washington to serve as an editor and special correspondent. stories about osama bin laden and al-qaeda that she and a small team of others did in 2001 before and immediately after the 9/11 attacks won a pulitzer prize for explanatory journalism. during the run-up to the iraq war and in the months after the 2003 invegas judy can -- invasion judy wr

house actually quoted a reporter in the way they did would have been dick cheney quoting a story by judy miller and mike gordon in "the new york times" at the height of the wmd crisis about tubes that allegedly could be used for making or delivering nuclear weapons. a story that planted in "the new york times" and then dick cheney uses that story on "60 minutes" to buttress the argument. we know that. just get on with it, white house. just are denying specifics. a four-man team in gaza, a very important base in pakistan, a lot of black operations with us in the pakistanis are run out of it. it is not that well-known. there is an air base but also a covert unit. the pakistanis also train most of the guard to monitor and watch over the nuclear weapons there. so it is -- we are there. our team is collecting data on the place in abbottabad where bin laden, you can call him a prisoner under supervision. there were steel doors leading to his apartment that were locked. he was on the third floor of this complex. there were a number of buildings in the compound. we have great detail. we're learning how
