so osama bin laden actually learned from him. so they pain tained a fairly close relationship over time but he broke from the group and denounced terrorism and told osama bin laden you are going to make a huge mistake because they are going to get after you and a lot of innocent muslims will get cools in the process. and that's what the letter addressed just before the 9/11 anniversary this year. saying look you have another chance to do this. you need to take it seriously. >> in that letter he is calling for a cease fire, if you will. what is the reaction? has he heard back from people close to him? and we all asked here, how is he able to get a letter? can he tell us where osama bin laden is so we can end this. but first things first, why is this made public. >> it's an open letter. and the reason for sending the letter was in the minds of some in the intelligence community it was to reach out to muslims who might be on the fence about this whole al-qaeda situation where they decided some years ago they're going to fight the we

then remained an active participant in al qaeda as a bomb maker a document forger and as an aide to osama bin laden himself he was then captured in pakistan in july of two thousand and four held and questioned by the cia for more than two years and was transferred in two thousand and six to kuantan him obey now golani has pleaded not guilty and also claimed that he was subjected to enhanced interrogation for fourteen hours over a period of five days which one judge earlier said serve compelling interests of national security now if you remember there has been a lot of debate as to whether or not others like the lani should be tried in military commissions or in civilian courts and many are seeing this as the first test case but i guess the real question we have to ask is why a test is needed to begin with or joining me from chicago is attorney kelly saindon partner belong here shapiro and franklin kelly thank you so much for joining us now let me get this straight i want your opinion do you believe that he should be tried . in a civilian court or in a military commission. i think you shou

we are going to introduce you to one of osama bin laden's brothers in arms. he'll take us inside pre-9/11 meetings, where he says he told osama bin laden not to attack the united states. now this man, noman benotman, has written an open letter to bin laden, urging him to recognize that his strategy of terrorism has failed. also, what in the world is happening in cuba? is fidel ready to declare the revolution over? but first, a terrific "gps" panel with cnn's new primetime anchor, kathleen parker, french philosopher extraordinaire bernard-henri levi, and others. we'll tackle u.s. politics, middle east peace, iran, and much more. finally, a last look. fighting poverty one step at a time. let's get started. >>> to discuss all of the news from this week both at home and abroad we have one of our star-studded "gps" panels. kathleen parker is the anchor of cnn's new show "parker spitzer," which debuts two weeks from tomorrow. she's also one of america's most widely syndicated columnists. bernard-henri levi is france's best-known, some people would say most notoriou

very nice to be with you it's been nine years a sense nine eleven and there are still no signs of osama bin laden and your book the grand chessboard you write for america the chief geo political prize is eurasia america's global primacy is directly dependent on how long and how effectively it's preponderance on the eurasian continent is to staines is that why we're in afghanistan to sustain our global supremacy nowhere in afghanistan before because of nine eleven. nine eleven involved a horrendous crime against the american public. and its cold for measures designed to make certain that that doesn't occur again american role. continent of europe asia it's much more benign involves alliances with some countries it involves improvement in relations with some previous sometime going to. show it should not be confused with the operation of afghanistan which was a very specific historical motive and a very specific objective now i want to ask in an interview with a french magazine in one thousand nine. hundred of the mujahideen prior to the former soviet union's invasion an excellent idea ac

osama bin laden fled across the border into pakistan, and is believed still there to this day. the u.s. response had been effective and proportionate. but terrorism is designed to provoke a disproportionate response. and in time, osama bin laden got everything he had hoped for and more than he could have dreamed of. in justifying the bombing and invasion of iraq in march of 2003, the bush administration connected a series of dots. al qaeda and saddam were said the allies. >> we took down saddam hussein. >> the major general was in charge of training iraqi troops in 2003 and 2004. >> this business of weapons of mass destruction was a complete construct beyonce dom's part, largely to keep -- of saddam hussein's part, largely to keep iranians in the foxholes. >> u.s. troops tied down in iraq and afghanistan. >> i think osama bin laden figures that he has won, because he has made a spends so much when he had to spend so little to the fight. >> back in 2004, bin laden made this video recording. all we have to do, he said, is send two mujahideen it and raise a small piece of cloth on

but unfortunately it gave a haven to al qaeda osama bin laden and al qaeda had global aspirations and engage in global terrorism we'd be having this conversation now if we didn't expect the soviet union to the former soviet union to invade prior to our funding the mujahideen so that he was already involved directly into the sun for several years by the time to funding started the funding started at a time when the soviet union was already making preparations to invade afghanistan did you think that that would provoke the. i have no way of knowing but i was assuming they would go in because they were going in you know it was evident there was an escalation of soviet involvement and by the time the funding stop. the soviet union was already involved quayside militarily with guns there and i get back to this this idea from your book that eurasia is this very important chess player if you well for. the united states you also mention in your book that you're a just just a chess board out much of the struggle for global primacy continues to be played and the most immediate task is to make c

osama bin laden describe the reasons why he engaged in terrorism against the west and the fact that so it was not. international terrorism that the taliban was involved in imposing enough to understand the medieval concept of society but unfortunately it gave a haven to al qaeda osama bin laden and al qaeda had global aspirations and engage in global terrorism we'd be having this conversation now if we didn't expect the soviet union to the former soviet union to invade prior to our funding the mujahideen so much he was already involved directly in through the south for several years by the time to funding started the funding started at a time when the soviet union was already making preparations to invade afghanistan did you think that that would provoke the so far i have no way of knowing but i was assuming they would go in because they were going in you know approach that was evident there was an escalation of soviet involvement and by the time the funding started the soviet union was already involved militarily with guns there so i want to switch gears to another region that were in

he allegedly was one of osama bin laden's bodyguards. as a matter of fact, that tape occurred not only before 9/11 but also four defendants who were members of al-qaida were also tried in this very similar case of bombing the embassies in africa. they were convicted. they're serving life in prison. those convictions, shep, only a few months before september 11th. >> eric shawn live in new york city this morning. thank you. the woman accused of faking an acid attack and conning the whole country was in court today. it's her first appearance since her dramatic hospital news conference when she invented the story of her attack. >> i'm trying to stay positive. i'm a happy person. >> maybe not as happy today, though. we'll see what happened when this woman faced the judge. that's coming up.

bin laden -- and we could have captured osama bin laden. there are an enormous amount of assumptions. if you like the topography of that region, and you look down on the mountains, the flood tells of the himalayan martin -- asked the foothills of the himalayan mountains, with kids and valleys, -- at the time, we have 4000 people in afghanistan, probably even fewer. it was probably closer to 3000 at that time. had we taken 10 times that number of people, it is not clear you could eventually secured the area. even if you assume osama bin laden was there, and you had 10 times the number of people, which could taking you two, three, six months to come in, the notion that he would sit there until we took the six months to bring the people in and even given the terrain be whatever captured him was a gigantic assumption. why did we not have that many people there? we were very conscious of the experiences of the british and the soviets in afghanistan. the soviets had 300,000 people in afghanistan and they lost. we believe that they lost because th

and osama bin laden was something that we -- the united states cooperated i with in fighting againstvt union. bacat it ooking right now, i realize it was not a very compassionate thing to say and i regretaving used those worlds. >> but do you believe that u.s. policies led to the world trade center being hit by planes, by terrorists? >> i -- >> you know, there's -- maybe shouldn't -- you feel it wasn' necessarily a politic thing to say, but do you think it's true? >> well, i mean, osama bin laden was something, you know, we had worked with befo and we've ende seen what bin laden did. and the sentiment was bin laden certaiy had shifted, and we see what has happened. and we have to understand what has happenedin order to solve it. but the work that we have to do nowis not about pointing fingers. >> people always say that to me. i don't want to point fingers, when they don't want to necessarily answer the question, which is do you think the u.s. was responsible for those attacks on its own soil by terrorists? >> i was alstrng to say, to share part of my role in bridge building, soledad,

when you have not is osama bin laden. tomorrow will be the ninth year since americans were killed. the last administration had seven years and could not do it. what you said as president- elect, use of capturing osama bin laden is a critical step in setting out al qaeda. he is not just a symbol, but the leader of an organization planning attacks on the u.s. do you still believe that it is a critical policy to capture or kill him. you campaigned saying that you would run a smarter war on terror. you have not captured him. you do not seem to know where he is. >> capturing or killing the layton would be extremely important to our national security. -- capturing or killing been laden would be extremely important to our national security. we have put the pressure on al qaeda and their leaders. as a consequence, they have been holed up and making it harder for them to operate. as a consequence, some of the layton has gone deep underground. -- osama bin laden has gone deep underground. but we have the best minds, the best intelligence officers, the best special forces who are thinking abo

megyn: she was talking about osama bin laden in case you didn't know. my next guest has a lot of experience dealing with this. she has a brand-new book, dirty sectionee politics. she is sitting on top of an elephant. thank you for being here meghan. there is a double standard. when this patti murray thing broke it was after 9/11. we knew what osama bin laden was capable of. thee says, look he's a terrorist a bad guy. she talks about how he is building daycare centers and healthcare centers, which, i mean, come on, really osama bin laden daycare centers? and so it got some coverage back then. the point is, as she runs against dean owe rossi, he's shown one point ahead since being 7 points behind, not a word has been spoken. christine o'donnell has she been held to a different standard? has a woman like sarah palin be held to a double standard. >> the fact i had never heard the statement until literally when i was coming on the show and they showed me the clip from it. i definitely think there is a double standard. any time a republican woman says anythin

and prosecutors described him as a bombmaker, document forger and a former aid to osama bin laden.ington, d.c. pete, do we have knany more insight into what's happened today? >> the big question is can he get a fair trial given that he spent that time in guantanamo bay? and some of that -- some of the issues have been dealt with by the judge. he's accused of helping to load some of the bomb components into the car in the tanzania attack, playing a role in the attack in kenya, and then fleeing to pakistan. he cause captured in 2004, interrogated by the cia for two years, sent to guantanamo bay in 2006, and then in june of 2009, he was brought to the u.s., right before congress stopped the ability of the government to bring anybody into guantanamo bay to the u.s. to face trial. he's going to be put on trial. there's jury selection now. and one of the things his lawyer said is that all the time he was sitting there in guantanamo bay, violated his constitutional right to a speedy trial. well, the judge has already said, no, it didn't. that he was picked up on the battlefield fair and s

in fact, osama bin laden wants this. that's his strategy is to get this war against islam its not a war against islam. the majority of islam is all with us on this fight. helping us in this fight. and this is not a country about hate. never has been. we've got to recognize that. we've got to frankly deal with the majority of islam in good faith and show that we're willing to work with them as they're willing to work with us to get rid of this bad element that did this terrible event on 9/11 and would like to hurt us again if they possibly could. >> schieffer: well, governor, i just saw congressman ellison shaking his head. we have about 20 seconds... in agreement with you. about 20 seconds left. congressman, just a final thought. >> a final thought is that i'm looking and talking with my colleagues about how we could perhaps pull together a bill to help study radicalization. we don't know enough about it. we're operating on anecdotes. i think we need to move forward with governor kaine's analysis and recommendation and i

. >> law firm source tells us this morning that osama bin laden may have signed off on the plan. homeland security correspondent jeanne meserve has more from her sources. she's live in washington this morning. what do we know? >> well, john and kiran, the volume seems to be turned up on threat information about possible terror strikes in europe. according to multiple sources in europe and the u.s., the intelligence has raised concern about a mumbai-style attack that would create a lot of casualties and a lot of chaos in a short period of time. according to law enforcement sources in the u.s., economic institutions including banks and stock exchanges are among the possible targets. and one of those sources says the belief is that osama bin laden may have signed off on the plan. so who would carry this out? officials say the intel indicates people with western passports who can travel easily throughout europe. one federal law enforcement source says they may not all be european but could be a mix including north africans, pakistanis, and others. the source of much of the informatio

the selection does not seem to be about osama bin laden. -- this election does not seem to be about osama bin laden. some event that would convince a large number of americans that the health care reform was a stroke of brilliance, it is hard to say what that event would be between now and november 1. a discovery by someone in the office of management and budget that there was an accounting error -- [laughter] and the national debt was actually $1.30 trillion and not $13 trillion. those are things that could seriously disrupt the dynamic today because it would undercut the basis of the dynamic. you could never be sure until the votes are counted what will happen. there are situations where people think they will met -- make big gains and do not. without making too firm of a prognostication, i would be somewhat surprised if some of these things materialize to disrupt the dynamics underway right now. thank you.

osama bin laden is from saudi arabia.funded the sunni insurgents who attacked our troops in iraq, from saudi arabia and the fundamentalist islam being taught all over the world from saudi arabia. does this mean we shouldn't do any business with saudi arabia? to be fair, they kicked out osama bin laden. no, this isn't about that. this is about how our government works and if you're friendly with our contractors, wrou get the goods. if you don't want to do business with us, you get invaded. on 9/11, you know what iraq had to do with 9/11? nothing. this is the relationship. none. zero. zilch. squat. nothing. nothing to do with 9/11. meanwhile, saudi arabia, 15 out of 19 guys. more important, when we were fighting in iraq, the sunni insurgents were being funded by saudi arabia. our government said that. $25 million in one case. many more millions in other cases. they're killing our soldiers. we're selling weapons to them. nobody mentioned that. we don't do business with hussein. then look at the ground zero mosque nonsense. i

and now, our guest has been to afghanistan many times and lived down the street from osama bin ladens most dangerous places," so help us understood how big a deal this man is. >>guest: the reason he stands out he is a u.s. citizen. as you know, he was part of the lethal finding that was controversial weapon it was decided he could be taken out by what other means necessary. there are 72 special forces advisors in yemen with a robust covert program for five years. instead of doing it in a covert fashion, they have decided to engage the yemen military, of course, special forces jobs to be part of this so it looks like they are taking care of their problem. what is interesting to me of the story is we have shifted it out of our lethal assassination program into supporting the yemen get rid of their problems. >>shepard: he is at the top of the capture/kill list. how does that happen as an american citizen? >> you have to be linked to lethalness, meaning his connection with the ft. hood shooter is correct, and he is someone that actively tries to convert people to gin -- join violent jiha
