mr. putin. you know, wolf, one of the complicating factors here is that the west for years has accused russia ofa lot of brutality, and violating human rights. so although right now the fbi and the fsb cooperate on many levels about a lot of different things, some officials here say that might have colored a bit how they approached that information that did come from the fsb. >> that's a good point indeed. jill, thanks very much. >>> still ahead, a bombing survivor talks about her frantic escape from the scene and the horrors she faced when she arrived at the hospital. >>> what if the bombing suspects had been able to get to times square in new york. we'll ask new york city polic about the cameras they've set up across the city. and some superheroes need complete and balanced meals with 23 vitamins and minerals. purina dog chow. help keep him strong. dog chow strong.

mr. tsarnaev posted a link to a video of this man on his youtube account. wolfuse you know, nick, there is deep concern among federal and state, local law enforcement that when this older brother who is now dead, when he spent more than six months in dagestan where you are right now, he was potentially, this is the theory they're working on, he was trained on how to build a bomb, how to deal with these kinds of explosive devices. and he was indoctrinated, if you will, to become an extremist. that's the concern that they're investigating. what are you hearing on the scene for us about what do we know, specifically, about what he did when he was in dagestan last year? >> reporter: very unclear. we know he came to russia in january of last year. and he left by july. we don't know where he was within russia or if he went somewhere else and went back to russia at a later date. i know from a shop keeper who lived opposite his father's apartment. he was there for about a month in summer. she remembered seeing him there in short boots. so he was in dagestan for a period

mr. chairman, thanks very much for coming in. >> wolf, it's great to be here. thanks for having me. >> do you have a good sense of what this north korean leader kim jong un, what his end game is? >> well, i'm not sure anybody really has a good sense what his end game is. you know, when the flowers come out in north korea, normally every year the sabre rattling begins. but it had a pattern with a beginning and an end. what we're seeing -- that was his father -- we're seeing in the son a very unpredictable pattern when it comes to this aggressive, belicose behavior. everyone is on edge and concerned because he has ramped it up quicker and faster than his father ever did and we're not sure he has a strategy to get out of it. >> is the u.s. and the south korean allies, the japanese, are they still bracing for north korea to launch a missile or a series of missiles within the next few hours or days? what is the latest assessment? >> well, at any time somebody like this who has capabilities to launch a missile makes those threats you have to take them seriously. so y

mr. chairman, thanks very much for coming in. >> thanks for having me, wolf. >> how serious is word now thatthers were actually planning on driving into new york city, and setting off a bomb at times square? >> well, that part i have not heard exactly that way, wolf. let me tell you what i know about that. what we know happened is that we do believe they had a plan for another attack. they had actually built the devices, and not used them. but from the investigators i've been talking to, they believe it was going to be probably more likely in the boston area. they really did believe they weren't going to get caught. the notion they decided to go to new york was a rushed event after this thing unraveled on them. their pictures were, you know, plastered all over the media, and the tips started flowing in. they knew they had trouble. so they needed to generate some cash, the hijacking, the theft of the atm cards and that kind of thing, the robbery. all of that was designed to get them ready, we believe at this point, to go to new york. it's not clear to me that they were actually going to set t

mr. blumenauer talked about defense, it made me think, in college, i thought a lot of don wolf, a smart man, we were talking about who was the most powerful person in the country and what were the most powerful interests, and i said about the mill stair -- military industrial complex and president eisenhower warned us in his last address about the military-industrial complex but what he warned us -- warned us was the impact on the budget. don wolf said, that's all tied to one thing. oil. that's what it's about. and a lot of tissue because it runs on oil, mr. blumenauer so well pointed out, they're the most consuming user of oil and they also at the same time are spending much of their efforts defending the trade routes to get oil, and that's why the -- that's why in bahrain are defending the straits of hormuz and why iran has particular significance in the mideast. it's amazing what president eisenhower warned us, i don't know if that was part of his warning but maybe there was more truth to what he said, we probably should spend part of each day reflecting on president eisenhower's warning

mr. speaker, there comes a time where we have to say enough is enough. that is why congressman frank wolf, mike capuano, and i are reintroducing today the sudan peace securing accountability act. khartoum's abuse of its own people is nationwide and this bill focuses on sudan as a whole. it requires a u.s. comprehensive strategic to end serious -- strategy to end serious human right violations in all of sudan. the bill supports the aspirations of the sudanese people for peace an democratic reform. it encourages other governments and individuals to end support and aid to the government of sudan. and it reinvigorates genuinely comprehensive and sustainable peace efforts to end sudan's multiple crises. we must send a clear message to khartoum that the time for change is now. that these abuses must stop. and that peace and genuine participation in the future of sudan are rights that belong to all the people of sudan no matter their race, ethnic background, religious, or political affiliation. i ask all my colleagues to join with us on this legislation. it is past time to put an end to the pain
