bin laden. >> the picture was still fuzzy-- i mean, it was by no means sharp-- that there was an emerging global islamic fundamentalist terrorist network that was becoming more and more engaged in the objective of attacking american targets. >> when yousef fled from the trade center bombing in 1993, among the places he went, really right before he was apprehended in pakistan, was to the philippines, where he was mixing the bombs to blow up, you know, 12 jumbo jets in a 48-hour period and was not far away from at least attempting to carry out that plot, which would have resulted in thousands of deaths in two days. >> narrator: from the beginning, o'neill obsessed about the details of the ramzi yousef case. he dug into that plan to blow up the planes, known as the bojinka plot. investigators had found a connection with the world trade center bombing that led to yousef's co-conspirator, ahmad ajaj, and a terrorist training manual with a title that would translate into "al qaeda"-- "the base." they

, but he didn't -- bin laden. what was going on was a fight, because there was pressure on him, political pressure from the political advisors not to wait the seven or ten days. they were very angry at robert gates, the republican secretary of defense whom gates had, if you remember, gates had been reappointed or allowed to stay by -- he'd been appointed -- he replaced rumsfeld by george bush, and he was very close to the bush family, gates was. and when obama came in, he reappointed him. but two and a half years later, there was tension inside be, a republican doing things, and gates was very much against some of the things that happened in the operate operation. he thought we should just bomb the place and let it go and not jeopardize the seals because if something had gone wrong and they'd be captured, they had no protection. they were basically committing a war crime. he was a prisoner of war, was the point, and they executed a prisoner of war. and they went into a country without any notice to the authorities

but bin laden survived. the clinton administration had other chances to kill bin laden. in 1999. >> osama bin laden was visiting a camp in the southern part of afghanistan in kandahar province. a desert camp where there were princes from the united arab emirates, and it was an excellent chance. we knew when he was going to be there. it was a very isolated area. there would be no collateral damage to civilians. >> but the commission learned that foreign policy concerns complicated matters. >> according to cia officials, policymakers were concerned about the danger that a strike might kill an emirati prince or other senior officials who might be with bin laden or close by. >> what i did was to call the director of central intelligence and say that i had finally been presented with satellite photography of the facility, and it was very clear to me that this looked like something other than a terrorist camp. it looked like a luxury hunting trip, and i asked him to look into it personally. >> the national security council instead decided to call the government of the united a

nunes when he talks about the bin laden documents.hy has it taken so long to go through the treasure trove of documents as was said back then. >> obvious concern about sources and methods. i know it is repeated but it is very important to the intelligence community. they do not want to deliberately or inadvertently give clues to the other side about what they are looking at, what they found. that's the predominant reason the information is slow coming. as the chairman pointed out, it is the responsibility of congress to get that information and the obligation of the administration, and the administration should be prompt in delivering the information and we have the responsibility that it is held closely and not divulge and we don't want to be implicated in giving the other side, the adversaries any clues what we are up to. >> i would be remissed if i didn't ask about the story that dominated the day, hillary clinton at the 9/11 memorial and questions about her health. your thoughts about that and these calls that both candidates shou

and that al qaeda was decimated once bin laden was killed.convinced that al qaeda was totally decimated. i think it is a narrative the intelligence community has put out. i'm not at all sure that it's accurate. when you see syria right now, i think we're in a situation where isis could very well be eliminated and what we'll be left with is a very strong al qaeda base in syria. so i think she's trying to remind people of that and put the flag down. yes, i'm going to kill baghdadi, just the way i was involved in the death for bin laden. the fact remains, there are more numerically and more dangerous terrorists now in the world on the loose than there were a few years ago. than there were five or six years ago. whether the death of bin laden or whether the death of baghdadi, there are still more and more dangerous terrorists out there now than there were before. >> that's why this seems like a substantively interesting point for her to raise and stick the flag in. there is this counterterrorism debate. as to whether or not going after the named

we didn't take bin laden seriously. we are going to be in for a terrible time. >> how do you respond? >> first of all, president clinton launched an attack against bin laden with munitions in afghanistan. unfortunately we didn't get him. what happened though is in 2001 when president bush came aboard, even with the rching of richard clark, the expert on terrorism of the threat that was not their top priority. their top priority as i witnessed from the senate is a national missile defense which is important but it was clearly not the counterterrorism that you would expect given the incidents that had already taken place. the attack from kenya and other incidents. the clinton administration physically tried to strike at bin laden to take him out. >> what about chairman nunes when he talks about the be bin laden documents. why has it taken so long to go through the treasure trove of documents as was said back then. >> obvious concern about sources and methods. i know it is repeated but it is very important to the intellige

relationship including bin laden's surviving son. >> bin laden told his followers not to attack thes and i think as we begin to comb through the documents we are going learn a lot more about bin laden and it was not going to be what was presented by the administration. >> the documented releaseed today showed it was not in charge of the global network. >> and, you know, originally they came out and released 16 or 17 documents that created a false narrative about what was actually -- what bin laden was actually doing. >> the administration has said that it's work to go release the bin add lean documents as quickly as possible and that this relationship between iran and al-qaeda is simply being overblown, jenna. jenna: the only way we had access to some of the documents has been court cases. the government is trying to prosecute alleged terrorists? >> court cases and also the release through the counterterrorism center at west point but the argument is that thousands of documents were recovered from the compound but just a couple of dozen have been made available to the public and wha

one name on that list was osama bin laden. very few people had ever heard of him at the time. we later found out that within ten days or two weeks after that letter was served on the defendants, it had found its way to khartoum, where bin laden was then living, and so that he was aware not only that the government knew about him but also who else the government knew about. >> reporter: after bin laden soldiers truck-bombed u.s. embassies in kenya and tanzania in 1998, killing more than 200 people, including a dozen americans, federal prosecutors in new york convicted four men for the attack in a jury trial that ended a few weeks before 9/11. all received life sentences. former federal prosecutor david kelley believes those early cases proved terrorism trials work. >> not only because it's effective because it gets terrorists off the streets, but because it's done in a way that meets all of our constitutional requirements. >> reporter: one of those requirements is that any defendant's statements be voluntary, not coerced. kelley says it's a myth that once terrorism defendants g

of course, the best known is osama bin laden.o alert coming from his organization. >> because of my beat, counterterrorism, intelligence, having covered al qaeda for, you know, years before that, the first thing i thought of that day was this has the hallmark of al qaeda, and it has the hallmark of osama bin laden. >> as far as they know, as of this morning, as of this minute, he is in afghanistan. >> so what i was doing was calling intelligence sources, and particularly at the cia saying who other than bin laden? and i was being told only bin laden could have pulled this off. >> they are assuming, and obviously informed the president that this is a terror attack. >> ever since i started as a reporter, in the late '60s, early '70s, i've known that you have to separate the personal from the professional. but i'm married to alan greenspan, who at the time was chairman of the board of the federal reserve. so my concern immediately is they're attacking wall street. is this symbolic? will they also attack individuals? then i realized

, confirmed, bin laden is dead. >> osama bin laden is dead. >> multiple sources, osama bin laden is deadrge begins waiting for him on the other side. >> bin laden. >> osama bin laden. >> the leader of al qaeda. >> shot in pakistan. >> shot in the face, dead and buried at sea. >> is dead. >> united states has conducted an operation that killed osama bin laden. you can say for those families that have lost loved ones, al qaeda terror, justice has been done. >> the man who fired the shots that killed osama bin laden joins us here live. >> good morning. thanks for having me. >> let's start at the beginning. where were you september 11th? >> i was on deployment with s.e.a.l. team 2 in germany. what we were doing was a lot of reconnaissance in does so he voe. there was a peacekeeping mission going on there. we would go out in the woods and watch people and make sure nothing bad was going. we thought that was big stuff. we went back to germany. i was in the operations office when i saw the second plane hit the tower. >> sure. >> it was a matter of seconds before somebody said, osama bin laden,

osama bin laden attacked us. al qaeda attacked us. and when we had osama bin laden cornered in the mountains, 1,000 of his cohorts in the mountains. with american military forces nearby and in the field, we didn't use the best trained troops in the world to kill the number one criminal terrorist. they outsourced the job to afghan warlords who earlier had been on the other side fighting against us. that's the enemy that attacked us. that's the enemy allowed to walk out of the mountains and in 60 countries with stronger recruits. he said saddam hussein would have been stronger. that is just factually incorrect. 2/3 of the country was in the no-fly zone. we would have had sanctions and the u.n. inspectors. and saddam hussein would have been weakening. if the president had shown the patience to sit down with the leaders and say what do you need? how much more will it take for you to join us, we would be in a tronger place today. president bush: i know that osama bin laden attacked us and to think another round of resolutions would have ca

bin laden, they knew they had to get out of there. and anytime there could have been pakistani military wondering, what's going on? something's happening. this is a military garrison town. so time was really precious. but here's what the s.e.a.l.s did. before they blew that helicopter up, they took out all the women and children, family members of terrorists, including the worst terrorist of all. they took them out of the compound, around the back, to safety, before they blew that helicopter up. that, donald trump, is what american honor looks like. [ cheers and applause ] >> i want to mention three other threats. one threat right here at home. the epidemic of gun violence. and we have got to have comprehensive background chex, close the gun show loophole, close the online loophole, and the able of people on the terrorist watch list buying a gun in america. this agenda, i just briefly outlined, is supported by a vast majority of americans and a vast majority of american gun owners. and it's time we all said in one voice, hey, we can r

, they don't give credit to president obama for getting bin laden who everybody was focused on 15 years ago but it seems like trump has been able to sway some according to public debate. >> some of the supporters feel that president obama hasn't been strong enough. >> he got bin laden. >> part of what i'm hearing on the trail is people say they feel like he is not really saying that muslims and -- at least some muslims, radical muslims that he isn't naming that or saying that's a real issue and a lot of people feel as though that's just not. >> that's a real talking point. >> it's something to the lives lost today. really it's not in the fitting way to remember them and to bring the country together on this day. thank you for your time today. >> we'll be back with the terror threat from then and now. from isis to lone wolf gunman. how to fight the new face of terror. this say peshl editispecial edi "politics nation". 15 years after 9/11. come triumph, orrial tennis legend serena williams moves forward, and with the chase mobile® app we're on the same path, offering innovative, and conve

look at what happened with bin laden. you got rid of him and the baddest man in the world and she says, no, it's an organizing principle. when we did that for bin laden and allowed everybody to get on the same page and focus our energies and take it out and allow the american people to understand what we were doing and why. that's where her head is on these things. >> she's also a student of all of this and she also wants to show the american people she has been in the room. she received a lot of criticism for her time as secretary of state and also needs to turn it into a positive. she's talking about how well she knows these issues. and you can see that by the level of detail she talked to you about this. the more she does that, people can start to picture her as commander in chief, rather than as someone who is running and someone who may have had a checkered record as secretary of state. >> when we were talking and we wanted to get to the health part. i did not pick up pneumonia. >> did you think she looked a little l

the bin laden family was a big construction family. not royal but major constructionists in building buildings and very wealthy. the assumption we make, and i make, is that nobody wanted an american interrogation team to talk to him. >> you can watch this and other programs online at c-span-.org. >> we want the earth and hope the earth wants us. ...

>> can i just say honestly for the whole country thank god bin laden didn't have one of those. it may have been a different story. >> i think ryan lochte endorsing something like that is like o.j. simpson endorsing a burglar alarm. >> or a knife company. >> a spokeswoman for robocop says they partnered with lochte because he is and will likely be the best swimmer this country has produced. >> david, what do you theng ryan lochte -- i think -- i commend the guy. he is coming back and this is how you do it. >> that's right. this is america and this is capitalism. if michael vick can come back, so can ryan lochte. >> michael vick did something wrong. they shook him down and -- in rio and he told a little white lie to go along. >> he is the worst thing since the invention of the burrito. that's pretty much it. >> drops the mic. >> kyle, i think it is a good move for this company. i never heard them before and now we are talking about them. >> he delivered that speech with about as much enthusiasm as a robocop. it was as if he was reading ofl the cue -- reading off the cue card. >>

bin laden would have been caught a long time ago. prior to the downing of the world trade center. so this was right at the beginning and those other statements were before the war even started. and the howard statement was long before and was the first time anybody asked me about iraq. e i said, i don't know. but that was super seeded because before the war, i gave statements that we shouldn't go in. shortly thereafter, and honestly, a a lot of reporters said, hey, right at the beginning, he made this statement. that statement was a major story in "esquire" magazine. i just wanted to set the record straight. there's so much lying going on. and hillary clinton lied last night about numerous amounts of things. had i been in congress, i would

history has shown us that killing bin laden did not eliminate al qaeda. we still have a very real problem in pakistan and afghanistan and also in syria. i'm not sure where these grand strategic visions are coming from. we need a more holistic counterterrorism policy and i don't think either of these candidates have really vectored in on that. >> will jack murphy, great to have you back on. as always, thank you so much for yours service to this country. >>> coming up next, matt lauer hosted last night. he is getting widely criticized today for how he handled both hillary clinton and donald trump. and now we are hearing from an nbc executive telling cnn even lauer's own network thought it was a "disaster." we'll talk about that and how that might change the first debate. folks, we are less than three weeks away. i'm only in my 60's. i've got a nice long life ahead. big plans. so when i found out medicare doesn't pay all my medical expenses, i looked at my options. then i got a medicare supplement insurance plan.

abu bakir al baghdadi, and bring hip to justice, just as we did with osama bin laden. getting al baghdadi should begin at the highest levels. i believe it will begin with a sounding message that nobody directs or inspires attacks against the united states and gets away with it. >> so, raymond, your thoughts on that? >> well, i mean, i think that we heard from hillary clinton that statement something that we didn't hear out of donald trump last night. when you hear him -- you have veterans asking direct questions of how do you plan on dealing with isis. of course, every american, especially those of us that fought in war, want to know how we're going to move forward to come back terrorism and, you know, outside of the united states. and donald trump has no plan. he demonstrated that last night. that he has -- he's completely ignorant of this process. he's completely ignorant of foreign policy. you know, we heard him make the statement that he wants to come up with a plan in 30 days. well, he doesn't. he wants to gather a bunch of generals and replace the current ones th

we delivered justice to osama bin laden. we strengthened our homeland security prevented attacks and saved lives. we resolve to continue doing everything in our power to protect this country that we love. today, we once again pay tribute to these patriots, both military and civilian, who served in our name, including those far away from home in afghanistan and iraq. perhaps most of all the state to to the spirit of this day by defending not only our country, but also our ideals. 15 years into this fight, the threat has evolved. with her stronger defenses, terrorist attempt attacks on a smaller, but still deadly scale. painful ideologies encourage people to commit unspeakable violence. we have mourned the loss of innocence from boston to san bernardino to orlando. groups like al qaeda, like isil, know that they will never be able to defeat a nation is great and as strong as america. instead, they try to terrorize in the hopes that they stoke enough fear that we will turn on each other, and change who we are, or how we live. a

we can't kill our way out of this problem, no matter how much progress we've made in killing bin laden and other leaders, the fact is you have to address the ideology. i don't think we've done an nor have we spent the adequate resources against that problem. >> dickerson: jeffrey, getting to that question of ideology, we talked about ungoverned spaces. during the immediate aftermath of 9/11, we have to get them over there or they'll come over here. what's the state of that argument? is that still useful? is it still the worry? >> i mean, it's a useful framework to talk about this, but to add to what steve was problem, if you have an internet problem, self-radicalization through the internet, then the people we're fighting are often people in the united states who don't even know at this moment that they're radicalized. they haven't been radicalized yet some going to what fran is talking about, this is the danger. we are safer in a sort of broad bureaucratic way that our defenses have been strengthened. we spent a trillion dollar strengthening those defenses, but we have no answer yet f

and that he would have taken out osama bin laden before 9/11. tur, who works 21 hours a day, covers the campaign for us, outside trump tower in mid-town manhattan, not far from here, which we should also add has become a secret fortress in mid-manhattan. katy, let's talk about the campaign and was there more on the intelligence briefings today? >> reporter: yeah, we had quite a bit of reporting on the intelligence briefing today. remember, donald trump said that his briefers were unhappy with president obama because he could read their body language, essentially unhappy that president obama didn't take their advice when it came to national security and terror. now u.s. officials tell nbc news there were previous problems with that. number one, the briefers are trained not to give away their emotion through body language. so it would be unusual for donald trump to be able to tell something like that. and two, they're trained also not to give advice or recommendations. but rather to give situational assessments, so they would not necessarily be te

the u-s led a war in afghanistan following the attacks, searching for osama bin laden and al-qaeda -- who claimed responsibility for the attack that killed three thousand people. it was the worst terrorist attack in american history. bin laden was killed in pakistan and in canada -- a group of motorcycles and emergency vehicles provided an escort for a piece of steel beam from the south tower of the world trade center to newfoundland's airport. many passenger flights were diverted to that airport after american airspace was closed in the wake of the attacks in new york in washington. the large beam was loaded onto a trailer in new york last week...and finished the 15-hundred mile journey yesterday. it was presented at a ceremony at the gander internationala toss to rob high pressure to our east will keep us sunny and comfortable today with a breezy south wind at times. highs will be in the upper 70s with dewopints in the 50s! an approaching low brings more clouds overnight and a slight chance of showers. lows will be in the low 60s. showers and a slight chance of thunderstorms on tues

bin laden told his followers not to attack the iranians. >> reporter: the administration argued that iran's more aggressive conduct only underscores the value of the nuclear diplomacy. >> because the last thing anyone would want to see in the region is a nuclear-armed iran. >> reporter: critics of the nuclear deal see disturbing trends of their own in which the obama administration has purportedly been willing to let a lot slide in order to prevent erosion in public support for the deal. >> and certainly investigating a close connection between iran and al qaeda would raise suspicions that this nuclear deal with iran is not in america's national security interest. >> reporter: nor is the iran/al qaeda connection solely a thing of the past. this summer, the treasury department sanctioned three senior al qaeda figures living in iran using the country for a base from which to move money around, acquire weapons and coordinate with other terrorists. >> james rosen of the state department. thank you. >>> to america's election headquarters. while hillary clinton rests at home after what her
