>> morell: uh-huh. >> miller: for what was a punishment operation against syria? >> morell: uh-huh.t's how they would see it. >> miller: if we send cruise missiles into syria, one of the potential responses is not a military response in the conventional sense, at all, but a cyber attack. >> morell: so if there were to be a cyber response to a u.s. attack on syria, i would expect it to come from iran, not syria. >> miller: iran's last cyber attack on a serious level wiped out 85% of the hardware of saudi arabia's biggest oil company. that sounds like a fairly serious capability. >> morell: iran's capabilities are growing every day with regard to cyber. you have to have two things to do serious damage. you have to have the right tools, and you have to have access. and the hard part is the access. >> miller: do you think that iran has enough access to u.s. either government or just as likely a private sector critical infrastructure things to do damage? >> morell: no, but i think they're working on it. >> miller: from its sanctuary in afghanistan, al qaeda was able to plan and execute c

in morell's view, there are four wars going on there. there is the war of the people against the dictator. there is the war of sunnis versus shi'as. there's the war of the proxy war in the shadows of the saudis, versus the iranians for dominance in the region. so the idea of providing arms or support to one side and knowing that you've got the right side, or in the cases that weapons are often traded, they won't end up in the wrong place. you know, he who doesn't study history is doomed to repeat it. we were chasing stinger missiles in afghanistan to fight the russians and there are 20,000 of those floating around since the fall of the soviet union on their side. it is complicated. >> schieffer: he clearly laid out why the c.i.a. thinks this is so important for the syrian army to be able to crush those forces. listen to this. >> those areas could eventually become the kind of safe haven that could pose a significant threat to us. they don't right now. they pose only a regional threat. but, you know, the places that i'm worried about in t

mike morell held that job at the c.i.a. until last saturday and he has now done his first television interview for "60 minutes" with our john miller. john? >> reporter: well, scott, mike morell spent 33 years in the c.i.a., some of it briefing presidents on complex security issues, including the situation in syria. he told me he fears that a drawn out war in syria will ultimately give al qaeda terrorists a safe haven there-- the kind they once enjoyed in places like afghanistan. >> the two groups now are in some way affiliated with al qaeda, al nusra and al ashsham, are the two most effective organizations on the battlefield. and because they're good at fighting the syrians the moderate members of the opposition joined forces with them to fight the syrians. >> reporter: the end of a civil for what syria could offer one of two bad outcomes: stronger more brutal assad regime or a rebel government influenced by al qaeda. i spoke to an intelligence analyst who have set an uncomfortable thing has a ring of truth which is the lon

in an interview for "60 minutes," our senior correspondent john miller spoke with mike morell the numberns of the agency. he oversaw thousands of spies and analysts who formulate the very intelligence that is applied to decisions from preventing terrorist attacks to formulating foreign policy. in the broader sense, where is this syria thing going to take us? >> i'm concerned because where we're headed right now is toward, i fear the breakup of the state of syria collapse of the central government sectarian warfare, opportunity for al qaeda to have a safe haven in syria that is not dissimilar to the safe haven it once enjoyed in afghanistan and once enjoyed in the fatah. >> and in your discussions with president obama did you discuss that possibility with him? >> yes, that was shared with the president. >> what was his response to that picture? >> he takes that very seriously and certainly agrees that that is an outcome that is possible and needs to be avoided if we can do anything about it. >> john miller joins us at the table. he paints a dark picture. is there an alternative, do you th

morell, during commercial break.don't encourage me because i'll get to rubbing it all off right here in front of you. anyway, dina lohanhe mother is writing a tell-all book. this is not good. when will mothers and fathers realize that writing a tell-all is not good about anybody. if the person you want to hurt or dispel rumors about is you or the celebrity daughter, you hurt the other kids. in the book dina reportedly wants to report rumors of misinformation it thrown out about herself and her family. well, i don't know what we've missed. i think we've pretty much covered it all. dr. phil knows, too. he'll be out here later on. but the problem with this is that when dina writes the book, then you know the ex-husband, lindsay's father, michael is going to write a book. then lindsay hopefully will stay on the sober track and maybe she'll write a book to dispel the rumors. in the meantime tlshgs are three other innocent people in the family, wiali, the little siste who looks nothing like she was born to look. she's deny

the other question about israel strikes on syria's nuclear capabilities and on syrian moreles, 2007,nd recently -- the reason syria has not retaliated is israel has a good repetition for deterrence, and they do not mess around and they do not do so motion or pinprick. a do fast and very hard and very clear. so i think the question of deterrence against israel, the reason it was not retaliation because they knew that the retaliation against the retaliation would be a heck of a lot worse than anything that was done beforehand. whereas, the u.s. -- it is at least conceivable that syria could do things, be more aggressive in lebanon, if iran was stimulated to get involved to use its global network of terrorist capability and of a -- of other capabilities in the persian gulf, etc., if it had sufficient interest at stake, then it might also think about retaliating because i think it has a sense the u.s. does not mean what it says after the last several years of u.s. policy and relative perception that we are withdrawing from the region. >> elizabeth? >> the issue of funding is a very impor
