and he was able to gather some insights to petraeus and petraeus spoke candidly to him and they had this instant rapport. jack keene calls it a visceral sort of rapport. and then everyone knows the story of david petraeus getting shot and, of course, jack keene was there with him when that happened but really that is what i think solidified their friendship and relationship and then they worked together for several assignments after that. so, okay, so the social network including the mentors was a big variable. the second thing was just to look at his education. obviously, i could sort of relate the west point experience myself. they had a different curriculum back then but i was able to get access to the records that his class, pride of the corps '74 studied and looked at sort of what -- what conflicts they were studying and there was nolo intensity conflict or insurgency course and there was an elective and he never took it that was an interesting little find. but then i also traced his military education and his experience the princeton which was for him one of his most formative expe

petraeus of course has become the most prominent u.s. military general since world war ii and while he's already been a subject of several books, paulen was given unusual access to him and his brawl story up to date. as paula writes early in the book one of petraeus' most important mentors general jack dolph and talked to petraeus about the concept of what he called the big m that stood for individual mystique or mythology. the idea as explained is the troops need to be able to make their commanders bigger than they are coming to magnify them. he had his pistols and grenades, grant his cigars. petraeus stood out as the epitome of the soldier scholar. intellectually, he is famous for being the lead author of the revised doctrine on counterinsurgency warfare. on the battlefield he is credited with turning things around in iraq following president bush's decision at the end of 2006 to surge u.s. forces and he's faced a similar challenge in afghanistan during the years command between the middle of 2010 and 2011. petraeus time in afghanistan

petraeus stands out as the epitome of the soldier. intellectually he is famous for being the lead author on counter insurgency warfare. on the battlefield credited with turning things around in iraq following bush's decision to surge u.s. forces facing similar actions from afghanistan. but his time is the focus of the book also it has a broader sweep paulette incorporates biographical affirmation about petraeus to make him so effective and influential a leader. in fact, in pursuit of but phd and petraeus is a case study of transformational leadership and organizational innovation. as a graduate of west point and army reserve officer, pauley knows the army from the inside. and her book she takes readers into briefing rooms and command post and training sites and battlefields. she was granted a number of opportunities to travel with petraeus and jog with him and anybody who has tried that, and knows probably deserve a medal for a themself. he is notorious for the intensity with which he works out and the same intensity he applies to eve

so they're not even more devices inside your home as petraeus said at the summit this month or in tell him the digital transparency of our world we have to quote rethink our notions of identity and secrecy and it's not necessarily true let's take a look at what plans the cia has in store and who it's working with to get their christoffersen going fellow at the open society nations is here joining me to discuss christopher thanks so much for joining us tonight thank you ok first can we backtrack a little bit and i said where was the country said this at this summit for inc you can tell our viewers what that is who that is short so if you so is a venture capital firm that the cia funds but is not the only founder all of and invest money into companies but it bounced the cia's mission the mission of course being to spy on foreigners and to protect the country so this is really interesting it's like the cia has this whole other business wing you know i mean general petraeus or no longer i guess former general petraeus started out saying i met with a bunch of butter capitalists and had dinn

general petraeus has agreed was a serious problem noting that the trade finance roughly one-third of the taliban's funding. confirming this number just two weeks ago before this committee. in an attempt to confront this issue i've discussed this issue with you, general petraeus, general karzai, just to make a few. in response general mattis stated, u.s. government and other international partners including the afghans are reducing the poppy cultivation and opium production in afghanistan our inner agency strategy supports a comprehensive set of actions to reduce opium production include numerous initiatives campaigns and joint collaborative efforts that took years to create and implement. i want to complement you and your leadership on these efforts and on the apparent success. the united nations office of drugs and crime winter poppy assessment for april 2011 demonstrated an actual decrease in 2011 opium production. further, in correspondence with general petraeus last year he told me his forces have seen a 48% decrease in opium production and then the first quarter of 2011 we saw a

at the time, petraeus led the war in afghanistan. u.s. officials say the plot was never a serious threat. >>> a busy day for the president on the campaign trail. he spent the night at tyler perry's home in atlanta. it was just one stop on a whirlwind fund-raising tour that raked in more than $5 million for the campaign. earlier today, the president was at tyler perry studios. about 1,000 people attended that fund-raiser which featured music by voice judge cee lo green. tickets for the fund-raisers ranged from $250 to $35,000. >>> the two men leading the gop race to unseat president obama are abeing ttacking him on his surf. romney and santorum both campaigned in illinois. newt gingrich spent the day campaigning in new orleans. louisiana is the next red state to hold a presidential contest, but it's still more than a week away. the republicans are also fighting for votes in puerto rico which holds its primary on sunday. >>> prince george's county executive baker is pushing hard to get a casino in the county. today in annapolis, he testifie

as for petraeus, killing him would altar the war's path.hose writings said to be among piles of documents and videos that navy seals found during last year's raid that killed usama bin laden. catherine herridge has some details for us from d.c. tonight. we haven't heard about these plots before or have we? >> well, we have, shepard, in fact, they were reported last july. what's key here is the first time the reporter has seen the bin laden documents and the translations. as i mentioned the broad outlines to kill the president and general petraeus were reported last year. bin laden has an operative called kashmiry for those plots. the call for special cells in afghanistan and pakistan to take out planes carrying the president and petraeus. u.s. officials say the plots were not advanced and were never more than wishful thinking. the "the washington post" reporting today backs up earlier assessments that bin laden was deeply out of touch and some of the garbled language in those translations suggests he was often dictating to one of his wives

director, general petraeus, reportedly says spies could soon use household items like your televisions and refrigerators to spy on you. really? that's all ahead unless breaking news changes everything. this is "studio b." but first from fox at 3:00 in new york city the united states soldier accused of killing 16 afghan civilians and setting many bodies on fire, reportedly has a left of money and legal troubles. military officials say the army staff sergeant killed nine children in the massacre after he was drinking at a southern afghan outpost of the military. the father of two young kids of his own is now waiting charges as he sits in isolated cell in the military prison in kansas. his lawyer tells the associated press he met with his for the first time today. more on that meeting in a moment. according to the reporting of the a.p. he had a string of honors for good conduct after four tours in iraq and afghanistan but he also had his share of problems. his seattle area home was up for sale as a $50,000 loss. he had defaulted open another home. and failed to get a promotion that could

. >> petraeus, period. the surge in iraq. which some people think succeeded. it did certainly succeeded to a degree in iraq by reducing the level of violence. and plan b by 2009, with president obama now having succeeded george w. bush, plan b then was applied to afghanistan during the mcchrystal era. the notion that "comprehensive counterinsurgency," that was the phrase that general mcchrystal used, that "comprehensive counterinsurgency" could pacify afghanistan. could replicate in afghanistan the achievements supposedly made by petraeus in iraq. but that didn't work. matter of fact, mcchrystal himself flamed out. petraeus came back for a second effort at applying counterinsurgency, and achieved only limited success. >> why don't-- >> i don't think anybody today thinks that counterinsurgency is going to pacify afghanistan. >> why didn't it work? >> again, one would refer to afghan history here, that this is simply not a place that accommodates foreign invaders who think they know how to run the place better than the local population. but what i would want to
