joining me now, retired special agent in charge and hostage negotiator, jim cavenaugh and an msnbc analyst. jim, are you concerned about copy cat attacks or other sleeper cells taking this moment to come forward? >> i am alex good morning. i think that's a real possibility, not only in france but i think worldwide. you know the terrorists have always benefited from a thing called the propaganda of the deed. you know they use that in suicide bombings. you know we would all think, you know, in looking at it someone puts a bomb on themselves and blows themselves up, who would want to do that. but they leverage that to recruit more people. they recruit more people through the propaganda of the deed. and then someone can copy the behavior. so not only in france certainly there, but worldwide as well. >> yeah. look hindsight is always 20/20, but do you see it as a failure of policing that the two brothers were able to get out of paris after the initial shooting at the magazine? >> well not really. well, let me say, there is some problems there, i think. one of the things is in any big city cente
