let's bring in mike brooks, hln law enforcement analyst. , first let's hit on the good side here. the police -- the folks at berkeley, when garrido and the two little kids that he had with jaycee dugard were on the campus there and they wanted to be able to talk openly, they did the background check and that instinct went off, didn't it? and that's why we have jaycee now. >> yeah, apparently that uc berkeley officer, she saw something that just wasn't right, went ahead and ran his name, got his information, and then he came over back over to the parole office -- you know, these two kids, 11 and 15, both girls, mike. so my hat's off to good police work. and then the parole officer, you know, he's under supervised parole, visitations. apparently, the officer would come to the house, but the sheriff said every time he would come to the house he these kids. never saw jaycee, never saw the other two. >> that's what everybody is asking at home. how could this guy -- he spent time in leavenworth for rape. how could his house not be checked, be able

first to mike brooks, former fed with the fbi, headline news law enforcement analyst. mike, long time, no see. welcome back, friends. >> thank you, nancy. good to be back. >> mike brooks, i want to talk to you about two things. number one, the car, what it's going to reveal. and number two, do you really think this guy, who seems to be weak, there's really no other way to put it, do you really think that he, on his own, could kill her, dismember her in that fashion -- can you imagine him having the fortitude to remove every tooth out of her head, dismember her hands, and dispose of the body? do you see it? does that mean that there was an accomplice? >> you know, nancy, you can never count out that there was somebody -- that was helping him, that he wasn't acting alone. we've now got the car. that car, nancy, we're talking possible blood, hair, fibers, trace evidence. and the big they think is, it's in west hollywood in that trader joe's parking lot. there are so many surveillance video cameras in that area, nancy, i'm sure they're probably going to be able to get the c

mike brooks.doubt you're in law enforcement and following this very closely when this all went down in 1998 and the subsequent trials and everything that's happened since. explain to us the rangling here and explain to us what happened aboard that plane and what security people are say about what happened. >> don, matter of fact, i was involved in this case. it was the last case i investigated when i was with the fbi joint terrorism task force and actually was in malta working on this case, preparing for trial with the british authorities in 1999 and, in fact, i came back, as soon as i got home from malta is when gadhafi turned the two libyans, megrahi and his co-defendant over to the scottish authorities. i'll remind everyone, don, that this was the deadliest terrorist attack against america, against americans before 9/11. there were 180 people killed in this flight. you know, during this flight and 47 british nationals and talking this morning with some of my law enforcement cohearts and other p

we are going to be joined by mike brooks, who has been digging down on this story. thank you for being here. this looks serious. this almost looks like this is coming to the point where we are beyond where this nation was on november 22nd of 1963 when jfk was assassinated, when there was also an environment of hate in this country. when you hear that, what are your thoughts? >> well, i'm confident that my former organization, the secret service, is doing everything they can to keep the president and his family safe. there are a lot of people that like attention. >> what about this case? do you know if the secret service has knocked on this pastor's door? should they be knocking on this pastor's door? >> i am confident that they have already knocked on his door that through counterpart means and local and state and federal authorities that this has come to be explained to and for the media to bring it out. i definitely think it has come to their attention. >> mike, are you going to add something to that? >> i've been talking to some folks. he has been interviewed by

security analyst mike brooks with us again. mike, earlier, you talked to me abo about "there is no voice recorder device to really look for after a collision like this." so trying to piece it together will be very difficult. but i wonder, even much more difficult now because you don't have survivor accounts. it is going to be very difficult, fred. the radar tape from teterboro and la guardia. could very well have been some audio communication between teterboro tower, their air traffic control and this general aviation aircraft, this piper. and maybe also some witnesses from air traffic control at la guardia. it will all be on tape. the faa should have that. if you recall during the usairways after the plane landed in the hudson there were a number of video surveillance cameras along the river that actually captured the plane landing in the water. they will be going around. detectives from nypd and detectives from new jersey state police and the ntsb will be looking on both sides from the new jersey side as well as the new york s

. >> straight out to mike brooks. explain to me how a polygraph and a stress test -- a voice stress test works. >> a polygraph basically monitors changes in the body. it monitors your vital signs, your blood pressure, your respiration, your -- the sweat. >> sweat. >> exactly. the sweat on your hands. now, i'm not real crazy about voice stress analysis. i think the polygraph is a better investigative tool. it's been used for years and years. and apparently, you know, tim miller is saying that the -- you know, the person who gave the test, who administered the polygraph, is a very, very experienced person. so i had -- i've used it many times when i was with the fbi. it's only as good as the person who is administering it, nancy. >> i have great faith in polygraph tests for the most part, if i know what the questions are and who is giving the polygraph. we're taking your calls live. out to susan in maine. hi, susan. >> caller: hi, nancy. god bless you. thank you for being there for all of us. >> thank you. >> caller: i w

police detective and cnn security analyst mike brooks is joining us on the phone right now. lots of agencies involved in this investigation right now, mike. everyone from newark police department, fire, as well as ntsb, faa, u.s. coast guard. give me an idea how all the agencies will cooperate in an investigation of this size? >> the initial response, new york city has a very, very robust plan for water rescue and water response plan. we saw this going into effect during the u.s.airways crash. we have heard from some of the ireporters, new york city aviation unit dropping a diving into the water. they have a plan where they pick up an officer from the emergency services unit also a diver. they are usually some of the first on the scene. right now, after talking to my fire department and law enforcement, nypd sources they're telling me right now that the fire department has five marine units on the scene. the police department has numerous boats from their harbor unit. all the divers who are in the water right now are nypd divers from, from the emergency services unit. what th

mike, as you may know, is @lso the overall@@@@ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ coauthored wit curt campbell. before he came to brookings mike was an analyst in the congressional bget office and has also worked at the institute of defense analysis and has been an adviser in particular to general petraeus both when he was commander in iraq and now. tony has got to run out at 4:00. i hope you will excuse him. tony is so, i think were very well known here and across america. he's tat csis. and national security analyst for abc news. he during his time at csise's been a director of the -- assessment project, principal vestigator over the homeland defense project. he, too, is a prolifi author. in fact, i think he probably is a little more prolific, in fact, wherever possible, than michael nlon since he's written 50 books including a four volume series on lessons of modern war. he formally served as national security -- with joh mccain on the senate armed services committee and as director of intelligence assessment in th office of the secretary of defense. tony and kim kagen, who i'll introduce in a moment, both worked in af

mike scott spyker has been solved. >> i'm glad they finally found closure, painful though it may be. >> reporter: reaction tonight from the retired admiral tom brooks . 18 years the tradition of leaving no fallen commrad behind holds true today as the navy says remains found in iraq have been positively identified as capital mike scott spyker. >> it is essential they know they are not going to be left behind. >> reporter: but the two-decade search has not gone without critics from family, friends and lawmakers. spyker was shot down january 17, 1991. his wreckage was found but with no body the navy changed his ki in action anthd en switched it to missing and captured. some believed his initials were carved into an iraqi prison. >> i wonder to myself is it some kind of cruel prank, cruel joke. >> i would like to say hello to my wife joanne and my wife and daughter. >> reporter: the 33-year-old pilot was hoped to be found alive. looking back admiral brooks says losing one of their own on his watch was the hardest part of his job. >> i strongly empathize with the commanders who would have had to have told the spyker family of what had happened. it is a

brookings institution. he just returned from monitoring the investigation. before we get to the actual election. let me ask you something about what the chairman joint chiefs of staff miken the ground. and is he correct in making that statement? >> john, i think he's mostly right. i think the situation has been deterioratin deteriorating, undoubtedly. i would have chosen different words from what little i was able to ascertain in the military situation. i don't want to claim firsthand knowledge. i don't have much time to look into it. we're seeing pockets of success in the places we've deployed forces this spring and summer. 30,000 u.s. troops have gone in to afghanistan. the strategy is starting to make sense in the limited number of places where they have put boots on the ground. the problem is, we don't have enough of them and we haven't had enough time to build up the economy and the government in place where is they've gone. so whatever progress we've had is fragile. the admiral has to be carolful here. he's fatalistic. if the americans think that 30,000 more troops makes no difference, it's going to be hard to sustain public support. >> already sentiment to the wa
