a little bit beyond this historical webb where barack obama comes on television and announces osama bin laden has been killed. >> the united states has conducted an operation that killed osama bin laden, the leader of al qaeda, and a terrorist who is responsible for the murder of thousands. >> i saw celebration in the streets. i saw democrats and republicans all in agreement. does this signify a new political moment? >> obama got osama and what it does, it's a bit of a return to what the mood of the country was after 9/11, when i think there was a unifying sense and a unifying force that the tragedy created that and there's a bit of closure, particularly for the 9/11 families with osama bin laden being killed by those navy s.e.a.l.s in pakistan so i do think -- the question is how long will it last and will it be only momentary or is it a sense that the nation is better off if we're unified in purpose. >> david, i mean, you are a conservative, i mean -- >> um-hum. >> i haven't heard a conservative yet deny this was the right mission. are there any critiques of obama's approach? >> look, it's

there's a lot more to that and a lot more, but can you talk about putting osama bin laden in the book. imagine my surprise, but what i did is i said i have seen bin laden in 2009 and 2010 planning a nuclear operation it was really important i thought to have bin laden involved in this because he would be as we know now and operational control or operational touch with other al qaeda folks around the world and one of his genius is if you will very roughly 60 countries that have al qaeda cells which he spelled out the organizational brilliance that way. he was also, if you were of that peculiar mind set in inspiring figure. so any event, she is the one with a nuclear weapons and who issued against the west calling for the use of nuclear weapons. she pledged the death of 4 million americans will have you do that. certainly not one of the time. said that it was the central to the plot so the question is how do you depict somebody who's very well known and a yet not well known and you can interview. and what i did do is talked to peter bergen was the last western journalist to meet with bi

osama bin laden was found in pakistan. there's no evidence that anybody in the pakistani government had anything to do with his presence there, but obviously he had people in pakistan who supported him. 180 million people in pakistan, most of them -- the country overwhelmingly muslim. a lot of them share views and ideologies and belief systems that make them sympathetic to radical groups, and that is where the effort of trying to change the whole discourse of pakistan, changing the whole milieu, the environment, the economy, the education system has been very important. and that cannot be done in a transactional manner. you can't say we'll give you $2 billion, change everyone's mind and make them all stop thinking that the restoration is the best course for muslims of the world today. with those kinds of numbers, if 1% of the population is sympathetic to a view, a radical view for islamic revival and resurgence, we're talking about 1.8 million people. that's a lot of people. it's not a small number. and amongst them can th

but the defense secretary leon panetta that commanded the osama bin laden raid while heading the cia t osama bin laden was more very dangerous. >> at one time he was an inspirational leader but not the guy that was managing operations and we found out when we went into that compound was in fact that he was someone that was operating on an operational basis. >> of the u.s. commander was also mentioned in the court documents as a potential to be shot down while he traveled a spokesman for general pretorius declined to comment. the focus now is to keep attacking al qaeda. >> now is the moment following what happened with osama bin laden to put maximum pressure on them because i do believe if we continue this effort, we can really cripple al qaeda as a threat to this country. >> the u.s. believes that al qaeda remains focused on high-profile attacks and would like nothing better to bring them to bring down-- then to bring down the u.s. aircraft. what was almost killed before any of his plans to go any further. >> the world's thinnest smart phone with the slide out keyboard is on the marke

and in other ways not quite the osama bin laden of the public imagination. d it surprise you after doing all your research, and, you know, where you're talking to people who bin laden is, did it surprise you that, oh, wow, this is really the bin laden that is populating my book? >> well, what surprised the hell out of me was where he was. and i think with the, with the exception of the people who had held a very closely-held secret of where he was, everybody thought he was in, you know, western pakistan. everybody. i mean, a few people voted for yemen, but what i thought about it, i thought pakistan had to be right for all sorts of reasons. and my book lays out some of the conditions; the close link between the isi and jihadist groups, the longtime associations between al-qaeda personnel and leaders and the isi and their associations between and among the isi and the other terrorist groups. um, he pretty much had to be in pakistan, and he couldn't not be there without the knowledge and indulgence and help of someone. i'm not saying, you know, the pakistani se

leadership elements in the army, military, intelligence or the political leadership had foreign osama bin ladenat you laid out here. but i haven't seen any evidence that the leadership knew. but i can state the fact. the fact is that osama bin laden operated out of pakistan for six years or so. in an operational role leading al qaeda in a town 35 miles from islamabad. it is clear he had some sport solve support mechanism there. i don't think at this point know all of the elements of thaf support mechanism and we are working through that. we have tremendous amount of informationing that we recovered from the compound where osama bin laden operated. we continue to work through that. but at this point, i don't know any evidence shown to me that would indicate the pakistani leadership and the military, political military services had foreign knowledge there. but he did operate there for an extended period of time and those questions are being asked in pakistan. >> when we come back, i will ask if there is an obama doctrine and does it involve leading from behind? i don't want you going out on those

evidence, that the pakistani military, some elements of the pakistani military must have known that osama bin laden was holed up in abbottabad. does your intelligence confirm that? >> i've not seen any evidence that the pakistani leadership elements, the army, military, the intelligence or the political leadership, had foreknowledge of osama bin laden's operating in abbottabad, pakistan. >> you're saying leadership. >> i can't speak -- i don't -- i can't confirm or deny what you laid out here. i haven't seen any evidence that the leadership knew. the fact is that osama bin laden operated out of abbottabad, pakistan, for six years or so in an operational role leading al qaeda in a town 35 miles from islamabad. it is clear he had some sort of support mechanism there. i don't think at this point we know all the elements of that support mechanism and we're still obviously working through that. we have a tremendous amount of information that we recovered from the abbottabad compound where osama bin laden operated. we continue to work through that. but at this point, i don't have any evidence that has be

with the death of osama bin laden, there is not a need for a large u.s. presence in afghanistan. in fact, the killing of osama bin laden was the biggest deficit reduction action this country has known. if we take advantage of that action and act on it to make it into a deficit-reduction action. we need to rethink our goals in afghanistan. according to the world bank, 97% of afghanistan's gross zphesk product is derived from military funding and foreign assistance, 97%. if we build a vast infrastructure in afghanistan, they will not be able to sustain it after we believe. the american people should not have to fund that infrastructure while sitting in traffic in our own nation, seeing schools in disrepair, hospitals that can't provide services and watching our own infrastructure crumble, infrastructure that does create jobs, carrying jobs to market and providing jobs in america. if house rules permitted, woy direct some of these funds towards building our own infrastructure. that's what we need to dofment but that's not the case. the afghan government cannot spend all that we're gi

we talk to a campaigner who used to be a jihadists and a friend to osama bin laden. he traveled to -- in 1998, a reputed source of nuclear weapons. >> there was issues like investigating the environment and the possibilities to get like either the weapons itself, weapons of mass destruction, or materials, which might help al qaeda. this is a fact, without a doubt. >> why go to the former republics if the weapons could be procured from inside pakistan. islamist groups have targeted the armed forces with this in mind. >> if there are people inside the military command structure that are in charge of these weapons, that are sympathetic to extremists and under the right circumstances, could take action and either enable people from outside to get in where the other ones would not be able to get in or simply to divert by using a unit to divert some weapons during a crisis or something like that. >> the pakistani army has agreed safety protocols that are designed to protect their nuclear assets. warheads and detonators are stored separately. anything might be possible. >>

situation between are two countries, i think it will need to understand that events bang like osama bin laden -- events like osama bin laden been in pakistan -- there are always two sides. americans are upset that he was in pakistan. i think we can understand each other's perspective and move forward. on intelligence, military relations -- both sides need to talk to each other. there are many things on which, when i meet government officials, we work things out. when i read the morning paper, it seems they have not been worked out. in this environment of agitation, when the media is saying onw rhinf -- one thing and politicians on both sides are saying what is going on -- it all makes things difficult. for some time, i thought we should continue building relationship, putting pieces together, doing it actual business of diplomacy and to keep the decibels low. the decibels have really increased. pakistanis said that immunity -- we are not sure. he did kill two people. if somebody -- is somebody going to apologize for that? is he going to be subjected to some kind of process? what is going to h

special forces found osama bin laden hiding snuggly inside pakistan.tan, reza, how does this impact u.s./pakistani relations? >> reporter: i think this hurts a relationship that's already on shaky ground. for years we have heard a lot of rhetoric from both sides, finger pointing, accusations. this is more than rhetoric. i think things changed after the raid on the bin laden compound here in pakistan in may. this was viewed by many here in pakistan as an embarrassment for the country and the military. it was viewed as a violation of pakistan's sovereignty by people here. i think ever since then, both sides have made moves that substantially changed the complexion of this relationship. withholding $ 00 million of u.s. aid is significant. this is cash and military equipment. the message here is we are not happy with the effort you are making. if you want to continue to get our money and funding and resources, there is going to have to be some changes. it signals a different approach from washington. it's a more aggressive approach. but it's something that

special forces killed osama bin laden, and that has added an extra layer of security concern. as jane reports, park police say they have a robust plan in place. >> reporter: on the national mall, signs of increased security is everywhere. as tens of thousands flock to the folk life festival, ahead of monday's independence day celebration. this gentleman plans to be here for the fourth. >> make sure everybody feels safe coming to the event, you know. so i think it's safe. >> reporter: in the ten years since the september 11th attacks, federal law enforcement agencies say they have not changed their visible tactics for the fourth of july on the national mall. invisible, they say is another matter. park police plan a combination of plain clothes officers and technology. that's because when special forces raided osama bin laden's compound in pakistan, they found documents stating al qaeda was considering an attack on the u.s. on independence day. >> the greatest amount of security is that which you will not see. our combination of technology and plain clothes officers, and lots of

and the killing of osama bin laden was a significant milestone in that effort. it is clear i think from the threat of information i have seen both beginning in 2004 when i started working with the fbi and my time at the department of justice and my position now the national security agency that al qaeda in many ways is weekend. it remains the case however that it is a more diffused and dispersed threat as he made reference to and in particular i think the concern that the vice chairman made reference to with respect to al qaeda's presence in yemen and in places like somalia makes it particularly challenging from a counterterrorism perspective. i think that, in some ways, the opportunity that presents itself now to the counterterrorism community and the united states as well as with their allies around the world is that we must actually redouble our efforts and is the president has said al qaeda is on the path to defeat but we have to look at that thread in all of its various forms not only in the tribal regions of yemen, but in the foxtrot and pakistan and also
