that is the crux of what pogo was saying, that there was no oversight. you say that there was oversight, but in fact, these problems date back two years, or at least some of them do. things went from bad to worse, with the pictures that you called disgusting. >> the event that is depicted so graphically in those photographs to place a couple of weeks ago. we learned of the event about a week or 10 days ago, and we immediately open investigation. we passed the materials over to the appropriate party. rex the secretary was aware of this two weeks ago? when did she become aware of this? >> as i enter stand it, it was very recently. >> would that be a stray morning? >> i want to be sure i give you the right answer. -- would that be yesterday morning? can you describe her reaction on being apprised of it? >> there is 1000 diplomatic staff. they must be pretty worried. >> we do not believe that security has been compromised. given some of the information in the report about problems of morale, this could have led to problems further down the line, but in terms

we've learned of these incidents from pogo.the lurid behavior, the intimidation by this group, and the intimidation is something that is particularly distressful. we didn't learn it from state and we didn't learn it from anyone else and they learned it first from a lawyer who referred people to pogo. something is really off base. when people have to go through a real different direction. there was no one that they could go to in armor group and get their complaint heard honestly. they were punished. there appears to be no one in state department they felt they could go to and not be punished and our witness from great britain will tell you that he was basically forced to go because he was trying to stick up for his afghan employees. so this is what really concerns me. i would like to ask each of you, and are you aware of any state department employee who had knowledge of armor group employee misconduct before 2008 or after. is there any story out there that you're aware of, that you're not aware of and i would like for you to g

know, people try to tell you later on in life try to tell you that you're not allowed to use your pogo ride a unicycle and all these things. and you've got to take advantage of it. once you're done watching this, you should get outside and and grab a unicycle and go for a ride, and never look back. >> and that's what this band has been doing -- making choices and not looking back. some of those choices have been pretty difficult. >> this did you want make my parents too happy at the time, but, you know, it was the right choice for me and my life with where my heart was. and where my talent is. >> that decision has worked out well for william. but the band has some other, equally important advice for aspiring musicians. >> never put anything out unless you're really passionate about it. when you have the right songs you'll know and you'll definitely feel it. >> don't try and sound like somebody else or try and write like anybody else. what's going to make your songs yours, is you. there's a lot of young people who want to be a songwriter, want to be in a band because they want to be fam

>> i just saw what was on the pogo report, i saw the same document the commissioner has seen. and let me make clur. you've seen photos i have not seen if i might. i have not seen any photos of that -- that the chair just indicated. >> okay. final question. i want to get back to the statement in your, a paragraph in your statement on page 4 that commissioner talked about, those of us first learn about the misbehavior -- first quick question, we don't want -- i don't want to put words in your mouth. what is related misbehaviors mean to you? what were you referring to when you used that term? >> rather than go into the lurid details of the -- from june 15th i would, because of -- that is a term that we used that would cover everything from excessive drinking to the most inappropriate behaviors that are described, that are shown in the photos. >> all right. and what time period are we talking about? from june 1, to september 1? >> well, if i might, we described those, june 15th, there was a party that would obviously describe -- those are photos, we've clearly discussed that. they

. >> one other matter raised in a letter is that pogo is saying that the state department has a pattern last week, these letters are going back two years. the idea is now looking into these -- the i.g. has not been looking into these for the past it will years? it is only set you got this report that you have been looking into it? >> it is business separate report of these serious allegations of a more recent nature in the gopogo document. i know that congress has concerns. we have also been talking to the contractor, too, asking them to redress some of these deficiencies. >> as the inspector general been looking into this since 2007? >> i do not know. >> if they had not, it would suggest that you have a problem. >> i do not know the answer to your question. >> someone warranted it buys, all of this stuff is coming out, of breaking its delayed by an hour, someone would think that someone in the legal office could come up -- you had to anticipate these questions. >> i have told you what i know. i've spoken to the i.g. office. i've been taught to the office of security. they have been loo

. >> kind of like he was on a pogo stick there on those rear tires, just bouncing, and a lot of drivershat rear bounce, and if you can get it going far enough down the track, sometimes you can get out of it, but sometimes, it just sticks with you like this, and he knows he's not gonna be able to come out of it, so he just backs out of the throttle there and shuts her down. >> once again, we'll go on board. look at that thing coming almost completely off the ground in the back, and look at the sled hopping up and down. tough night right there. that is definitely hard on the drive line. the predator is up next, driven by jamie austin, and again, we'll go back to the four automotive-style power plants. he's backing up, just about hooked up to the sled, and once again, we'll check in with rob. >> well, guys, talking to a lot of drivers, the...and some of the ppl officials, this is really a driver's track here tonight. it's getting a little bit hard here in the super-mod class, and it's a driver's track, meaning that the guys with the piston engines -- they can ease their way in. they can wo

we will be listening to see if the pentagon has any reaction to that pogo report about the contractors, the security guards that the embassy in kabul taking on an "animal house" type of atmosphere there if we hear them address that we will certainly get back to t. >>> the nation's retailers are reporting a disappointing august, store sales here down for the 12th month in a row. >> yeah, obviously, a bit of a concern but it is patchy. it is always going to be a patchy recovery, isn't it, when it comes to retailers? >> i think that is true. you are looking at same-store sales down 2.9%, less than analysts had expected, thanks in part to food and gas. but you're looking at stocks. higher today. >> modestly higher at this stage. investors are looking ahead to tomorrow's jobs report. that seems to be the big guy that we are watching here, the payroll is the mother of all things, the big potential to move the market. let's look at where we are sitting for the three indices now. dow to the upside, 25 points, nearly four-point upside for the standard & poor's and nasdaq by eight. >> we will be

the independent watch dog group, pogo, says the photos came from guards who say supervisors pressuredothers to join in. >> if they don't engage, they hold it against them. >> reporter: the guards are employed by armor group under a $190 million state department contract, which has been under fire. >> at times, the security of the u.s. embassy in kabul may have been placed at rest. >> reporter: at a hearing in june, there was a list of concerns made. >> reporter: one inspection found 18 absent from their post. the state department said in june it was working on the problem, and -- >> at no time was the security of american personnel at the u.s. embassy compromised. >> reporter: but p.o.g.o. says these pictures were taken last month. so a state department delegation will soon head over to investigate. >> it's clear there were some things going on in kabul, which we were not aware of. but frankly we should have been aware of them. >> reporter: at this point, however, that may not be enough. senator mccaskill clearly wants full disclosure, wants to know why the state department defended t
