scott shane, from the national security side, this question of the use of drones on american soil how much does it fit into the thinking or planning of national security agencies? how much has it ever been debated? >> well, drones, of course, the vast majority of the drones, the unmanned aircraft are being used for surveillance, not for killing. >> i think it's fair to say there's been very little thinking about using armed drones on american soil. it's conceiveable in the future that police shoot criminals in emergency situations all the time. it's certainly imaginable in the future that are drones might be part of such a scenario. but i think it's fair to say that the security agencies have not found senator paul's questions sort of out of fantasy land and have not done a lot of thinking about killing americans at home. they have in one case in september of 2011 killed one american overseas and that was anwar al-awlaki whohand had joined the al qaeda branch in yemen and was actively plotting terrorism against the united states. >> brown: but you got the sense that they were taken by surprise that this became the -- i guess the final issue for john brennan's

he released the information of secret national security agency programs no one had known their namesore. he reds information that we had a c.i.a. paramilitary army in afghanistan. that's as classified as it gets, and that the chinese had the cyber penetration of the 2008 campaign. is bob woodward in jail, arrested being tried? no! he's welcomed in every cocktail party in washington d.c. now, you want to know what the government does when they actually want to threaten you? let's go to the bradley manning case. there, of course, they not only arrested him they actually didn't even charge him for months on end. they tortured him. now the court has ruled that it was torture and they will reduce his sentence because of that. that's what happens when you release information the government doesn't want you to release. in fact, of course, bob woodward is the government's stenographer and releases information that helps the different administrations. bradley manning did something unusual today. he pled guilty to 10 different charges in a naked plea. he did not get a plea deal, he's doing it

security which allows the government to scan internet traffic flowing between banks and utilities and companies that are identified as nation's infrastructure. last week the heads of the national security agencyes said cyber attacks now pose a greater threat to the united states than terrorism. the department of homeland security can now gather secret data from telecommunications companies and hopes to have the email spy program set up by the end of the year. the administration is seeking legislation to require internet service providers to inform the government about malicious software. as well as the ip address that that software comes from. there is a push to allow utilities, banks and railroads to purchase better cyber security services from companies that provide those services. now, data collected from those partnerships would be shared with u.s. intelligence agencies. and, heather, i keep going but i'm reading your emails right now so i have got to let you go. >> oh, no. nothing bad in my emails. nothing at all. >> you want to bet. >> thank you, adam: it's 47 minutes after the hour. still ahead. listen to this one. one government is telling women what they will can and can't wear even

treasury's financial crimes end forcement network data base, but pretty soon the cia and national security agencyould get full access too, but is it legal? fox news senior judicial analyst, judge andrew nap napolitano, judge, it's got to be an infringement. >> it is. is it legal under current federal law, and the other is is it constitutional even if it's legal? it's legal because congress has said it's legal. in statutes enacted before and since 9/11, the federal government authorized itself to gather information from us without using search warrants, financial information, to store it, and to share it with other aspects of itself, but prior to today, the presidents of the united states have told us, if you trust them, that they will keep that information just in the hands of the fbi and the treasury department. gerri: that doesn't make me feel better. >> well, no, it doesn't, but the fbi has indicated that because this information was not obtained by a search warrant, it can't use it in a federal prosecution because they know that a judge wouldn't permit them to do so. gerri: so what's the poin

[laughter] >> obviously we have had tremendous advance in technology over the past couple of years. we can continue to understand how that may go forward. a lot of that is due to different properties that have happened and things of that nature. the figure was used before the faa said there would be 30,000 flying in the air space. they have revised that to say 10,000. if you look at what the 10,000 might be, they will not be 10,000 drums following americans. if you look of the report, 80 percent of the application is going to be in farming, precision agriculture. if you look at the public safety standpoint, which includes the law enforcement, firefighters and first responders, you will see that is a small quantity in the bigger picture. about oneentioned that was used in order to go over a ranchers facility, that federal andn the state entities to a fed

current world in burma, the judge will have supplanted the senior legal official of the national security agency from a large part of his or her job. to do that conscientiously and effectively, one judge or another on the court should consider getting an office in the pentagon and plan on spending a lot of time there. the continually available, ever vigilant, and have continued, around-the-clock access to secure communications, counter- terrorism personnel and executive branch lawyers. to hear presentations, receive intelligence, probe intelligence officers for weaknesses in the intelligence come and ask questions. this is not something to be done on the papers, as they say in court. next, if the court's jurisdiction is limited to u.s. citizens, there is the question of exactly what the court is to decide. if one accepts the criteria for targeting u.s. citizen set forth in the attorney general speed your go, it has several parts. first, the target as a senior operational leader of al qaeda or associated forces and is actively engaged in planning to kill americans. second, the individual poses an

alexander in some testimony in congress the same day said that he had set up within the national security agency and cyber command, he runs both, 40 teams that were supposed to get involved in both protecting the united states and cyber space considered to be a new territory to be defended. but 13 of those teams he said were for purely offensive operations. and this was the first time that we have heard him describe the united states as putting together offensive attacks still not acknowledged by the u.s. were olympics games which was an attack on the iranian nuclear enrichment plant. the u.s. -- stuks ness was the variant and the multiprogram u.s. had run with israel to do multiple attacks on the iranian facilities. started in the bush administration and then was expanded in the obama administration. but the obama administration, like the chinese, has not admitted to having offensive cyber warriors so it's hard to imagine how we're going to have an honest conversation with the chinese about limiting these activities if neither country will even admit to owning weapons. >> rose: how much of the
