officialormer pentagon is speaking out for the first time in this broadcast exclusive.n crane, former senior official at the news -- pentagon revealed major privacy and , security lapses within the government's whistleblower program. for 25 years he worked for the department of defense inspector general's office, which helps federal employees expose abuse and corruption. and we're joined by mark hertsgaard, who tells crane's a story in "bravehearts: whistle-blowing in the age of snowden." john crane, you were ever 25 years. you're not working there anymore. >> i was summit into ms. hal lbrook's office and walked out of the building. the pentagon inspector general building. it was not a surprising occurrence. amy: when was this? >> in february 2013. that since i was responsible for the overall whistleblower program, that within the inspector general's office, we had various whistleblowers stepping forward. and they hadad concerns regardig the audit function. they had concerns the way we investigated reprisal investigations, and they had contacted congress. and as the age

why does that come up in a separate bill and the pentagon measure? uest: they've handled that separately with the veterans affairs budget and it has to do with the committees and how they're divided up and separated. it makes for some complicated math problems. yesterday, we had the house pprove their military construction of the va budget, and the military construction, a budget, transportation, housing and urban development budget so when it comes time for negotiations, nal staff has their work cut out for them, but to separate all that what money re out goes where approximate how it fits in. host: let's hear from ashville, good carolina, dan morning, republican line. caller: good morning. me on.for having and not tryingan to push any political party, but anymilitary shouldn't be in country fighting anywhere, spilling blood, and paying them, and they're rich countries to start with. i'm thinking of all the oil countries over in iraq and all of that over there and to come over and over again, and they should be paid the oil in the places they fight

pentagon's up the strategy thus far? >> it is an attrition based which makes sense given the islamic state is basically at this point functioning as a quasi state. they have attempted to target directly bombing places where they have cash stored and anticalparticularly convoys taking oil to market and city by city allies in taking back territory and the islamic state has been losing territory. is going fairly well except for the fact the coalition is apart.ly falling you have allies who don't trust each other than and fighting iraq you have in a political crisis led by the lock which threatens to destabilize or significantly government.raqi >> as i mentioned we see the pentagon coming out often saying support, as allies and we need to work together. it balanced? do we need more internationally in terms of combatting the state? >> of course it is not balanced but when the u.s. is involved it balanced.never back it 1998 when the u.s.a. was kosovo war in europe the u.s. dropped over 90% ordnance from the air and it was in e

debate how this sets up on the actual spending measure for the pentagon. guest: in the house, we had the defense appropriations committee pass their version this week following the same sort of guidelines. the house is together on how they want to fund things. we will use the temporary money to supplement the base and make sure we have enough. the senate takes up its bill next week. one of the senate committees will take up the defense bill. they have said we will stay within the budget caps. senator mccain said he will go to the floor and argue that needs to be a $17 billion plus on the floor. all this goes back to the issue of the 2011 budget control act, sequestration, spending caps, and the fact congress has not been able to find a way to get around that and find a long-term fix. we have seen short-term deals. when democrats and the white house are pointing out is if they go ahead with this house spending plan, next year when the budget caps go back into effect, we will see defense spending come down and there will be a giant cliff the military falls o

of sexual assault cases. >> the pentagon mislead congress about sexual assault? deep maurice, these are the knots of injustice witnessed judiciary committee chairman chalk grassley and democrat kirsten gillibrand kriet reports of inaccuracy and emissions in military records. >> it's a sad day when i can't trust the pentagon as much as i trust a man i barely know to lube me up and rub me down. oh, and you're great too maurice. so why was the pentagon mislead about something as important as sexual assault. >> those records are being used by the pentagon to oppose a bill stripping senior military officers of decision-making power over whether to prosecute sexual assault crimes. >> are you kidding me? that is some bullllll, oh, maurice, are you a god send, unlike those dick nozzles at the pentagon. here's a tip, pentagon, when your decision makers decide to mislead congress on how good they are in making decisions, maybe they shouldn't be the ones making decisions! now i get it. the military wants control over these cases as much as beyonce wanted control over lemona

so the pentagon challenged hackers to assault its cyber security system. the experiment ended today. here's david martin with the revenge of the nerds. >> reporter: walking the halls of the pentagon in his hoodie, chris lynch has been mistaken for a repairman, as in "how long will it take you to fix my phone?" >> this is the weirdest moment of my life. i never thought i'd show up in government. i never thought that i'd be working at the pentagon. >> reporter: a software entrepreneur from seattle, lynch was brought in by defense secretary carter to head a new office called the defense digital service. >> the title on the door says "rebel alliance." >> i like to say that the rebel alliance is anybody who wants to be part of working around and changing the bureaucracy. and i believe that is our mission. if we don't i don't know who else will. wars," this rebel alliance, actually a staff of 12, is out to do battle with a mighty empire -- the old and slow pentagon bureaucracy. >> we're kind of a s.w.a.t. team for nerds. >> bureaucracy busters. >> yeah, we have

the old and slow pentagon bureaucracy.for nerd. >> bureaucracy busters. >> yeah, we have a type of person, one of our -- skill sets that we hire is actually a bureaucracy hacker. >> lynch's first project was hack the pentagon. pay a bounty off to an one who can find a way to hack into five of the defense departments public web sites. so hack the pentagon doesn't sound legal. >> there were a lot of people who didn't like that name. >> most hackers are seen as malicious. >> not every hacker is bad. that's the big change here is that we are now allowing people who actually want to, that are not malicious to do it. >> in six weeks, 1400 hackers uncovered 90 vulnerabilities in the software. flaws which could be exploited to tamper with the sites. >> we had our -- first vulnerability that came in 13 minutes from the launch of the program. >> just going to map things out. >> lynch covered an entire wall with plans for overhauling pentagon software that go far beyond public web sites. which is why army lieutenant colonel joe roman
