. >> here now with his thoughts, peter brooks, former c.i.a. officer and senior fellow at the heritage foundation. peter, good of you to be with us. what do you make of this long and lengthy analysis by "the new york times"? apparently they had people on the ground there for months, that there was no al qaeda connection to the benghazi libyan council attack. what do you say? >> this runs counter to everything we've heard so far especially from people inside the intelligence community and capitol hill. when mike rogers, the chairman of the house intelligence committee, tells you that al qaeda is involved here, i think you've got to kind of listen, sit up and listen. you're seeing it on both sides of the aisle where the democrats and republicans are coming out on that. i think the other important thing here is that the "new york times" story does call out the administration to say they missed clues moving into this terrible tragedy. and the worst part of it, in my view, is that after this has happened and the white house called it a phony scandal,

joining us now, peter brookes, former cia officer and senior fellow for national security affairs at ritage foundation. peter, good morning. >> good morning. arthel: so as you know the russia's official alert, alert level remains at yellow, not red. i ask you how should the russian government react to this? to keep people safe but not play into the hands of terrorists? >> yeah, it's a tough one obviously because the olympics are coming up. it is very important to russian president vladmir putin. he doesn't want to be deprived of this public relations victory, bringing the world, 85 countries, 6,000 athletes, heads of states to his country to showcase the sochi olympics. he has to be very careful here. the russians are tough on terrorists in the caucuses region. he is not saying much right now. think there is reason for that. he wants to be very cautious and not turn visitors or heads of state from coming or even athletes coming to sochi in the coming days. he will have deal with this very, very carefully if he wants not to create a pall over the olympic that is started because of thes

and peter brooks, former cia officer and deputy assistant secretary of defense who works with the heritage foundation. amy, i will start with you. after these two attacks, should we believe putin when he says the sochi games will be safe and secure? >> well, i think probably yes. the attack of course took place quite far from sochi and in volgograd, and i think that the russians have made it very clear, the russian government, that they are going to have extra -- they are going to really cordon off the sochi area, a large chunk of territory. they are making it very difficult to get passage. you have to show passports and your identity. i think sochi itself will probably be safe. just remember, this happened quite a ways away. >> peter, in july, the leader of the chechen group, we don't know that they're responsible, but they vowed to use maximum force to disrupt the sochi games. how big a threat is this group? >> a big threat. they are on the terrorist list. they have been involved, the chechen islamist militants have been involved in everything from taking theaters to schools. attacks on

peter singer of the brookings institution says this, quote, people in washington like to talk about this, as if the supposed american monopoly on drones might end one day. well, the monopoly ended years ago, unquote. of those 87 nations it's difficult to determine how many have actually weaponnized drones. or plan to do so. thus far the only nations to shoot missiles from drones are the u.s., britain, and israel. but u.s. intelligence officials believe it's only a matter of time before other nations deploy weaponnized drones also. in the meantime, just using drones for reconnaissance purposes can raise hackles as one unnamed official told the washington times, quote, no one is turning a blind eye to the growing use of surveillance only uavs, unmanned aerial vehicles, including by nonstate actors, even if these systems have a host of beneficial civil applications. one problem is that countries may perceive these systems as less proceed vok active than armed platforms and might use them in cross border operations in a way that actually stokes regional tension, unquote. question, are remote
