they are former mexican special forces who went rogue estimated 200 were trained at ft.orgia in the early 90s. >> they were trained in operations, special operations by our best of the best and then they went back to mexico. what happened was they didn't stay with the military they defected. because the drug cartels paid more money. >> reporter: the relationship was first revealed in this video to the dallas morning news in 2005. two members of the mexican special forces admitted their role in recruiting hitmen from the military. they are an ecclectic bunch. the head uses tigers to scare enemies. shorty guzman head of the cartel made last year's forbes list of the wealthiest people. head of juarez cartel after his brother died undergoing plastic surgery. the life span of a kingpin is getting shorter. one was killed two weeks ago by the mexican military. and la barbie was arrested in mexico in august. he grew up in laredo, played football in high school, now he's facing extradition. new interrogation tape from the mexican authorities reportedly shows a cartel member sayin

or the special forces-- is a question the people are trying to sort out. i think mark is right about the basic lesson. this is a tough adversary. we are in a nasty fight, it isn't going away. it's ne years after e september attacks. we've had years of reports from our intelligence agencies that we've got al qaeda on the run, they're down to aew hundred, they're down to... sometimes they'll say only a few dozen in core al qaeda but they keep on being able to operate. they have this command and control through the internet which is more robust than we realized. they metastasize. they sproud in new places with fairly independent operational ability and this ain't going away any time soon. >> i think it's also worth pointing out, though, and maybe the hearting thing is that what they're trying to do here is hardly september 11. i means this two bombs sent to possibly blow up cargo planes and then they would do damage their there could be losses of life but it's attacks that are a much lower scale of sophistication than september 11 with potentially a lot... si

he says he has no doubt that the men were russian special forces. they pulled his oldest s at of bed, tied him up, and took him away. there has been no trace of him since. >> if my son has broken the law, they should put him on trial. but they come here in the morning, firing guns, and take him away like common bandits. >> they are desperate. inquiries of the police and public prosecutor's office have proved fruitless. their son has disappeared. with the lawyer's help, they have taken the case before the european court of human rights. they think this is their only chance to find their son. >> security authorities are obliged to investigate these incidents. what happens in practice shows they are not capable of investigating objectively. that is why people turn to the court of human rights, in the hope that it will get justice. -- and hope they will get justice. >> disappearance this are common in the northern caucasus, where russia is fighting against islamic extremists. they think civilian casualties are inevitable, a necessary evil, but he says r

all right, 2006, bring the special forces were brought in with special forces and were apprehended -- >> alright, i get the point. >> what would be what happened -- and then, most people here are intellectual. they know what's going on. >> would you like a response? i get the gist of your question. let me respond to your question. do you ask a want a response? well, first of all, you're wrong about the status of cheeses in islam. he is certainly respected here it is considered a prophet, but he's not divine and that the crucial distinction. and if you really want to push the conversation further, what is the status of hinduism. if i were going to grant you there's no conflict between islam and christianity, there's no reason to grant. there is clearly a conflict between islam and hinduism. the polytheism is perfectly anathematize under islam. and there's no debate there and there are a billion hindus who are absolutely wrong only for conversion or the sort. and yes it is true that our invasion of iraq pulled the lid of a tape readership off of these ethnic and religious tensions, but

. >> and they could it work more closely with the yemeni authorities, training special forces, that kindf thing. what about america engaging in militarily on yemeni territory? >> i think america will look at it at various levels. i think they will talk about what are the best options to prevent terror attacks, but also how do you engage with the community there. how do you work with them to empower them? how do you establish rule of law? things that are important for civil society. >> what about the threat that emanates from yemen from al- qaeda? >> and think this is a growing problem. i think the al-qaeda and in the arabian peninsula is one of the most active groups of al-qaeda. they look at where opportunity is best, poverty-stricken areas. we can probably expect places like yemen are hotbeds of activity. >> what is clear is that al- qaeda is fixated very much on airlines. united kingdom, germany introduced new security measures on air freight. there is a limit to what you can do. >> it is an enormous challenge. there are no restrictions that come in at midnight this evening. and you w

i'm talking about our special operations forces. these elite and largely covert forces were rapidly expanded in the bush years as part of the global war on terror. but also thanks to secretary of defense donald rumsfeld now he was the secretary of defense if you remember for the six years of the bush administration, he was succeeded in the last two years by robert gates who was carried over in the obama administration along in fact with many bush foreign policies and military policies particularly. but also thanks to secretary of defense donald rumsfeld's urge to bring covert activities that were once the province of the cia under the pentagon's wing. by the end of george w. bush's second term in office, think of that map again, special operation forces were fighting in, training in or stationed in 60 countries. around the planet. and that was under the aegis of the global war on terror. less than two years later according to the "washington post" 13,000 special operation forces are deployed aboard in approximately 75 countries, 15

son christopher sherry a lieutenant in the united states marine corps and a member of its elite special forces committed suicide aboard a navy transport ship he was returning home after an eight month the point to the middle east his mother's investigation into his death including an autopsy and other testing would lead to a finding that chris had been suffering from lariam toxicity but six years ago when i sent my son to the marine corps an event that would never been possible was that he would take his life and so in answer to your question it continues to be a huge open. wound in my life. an intellectual level i understand what happened to christopher that he had evolved because the drug was in psychotic state he had a psychotic break he was not in possession of his good mind when he took his life. but there is a part of me that as his mother of twenty eight years still doesn't understand how such a sound stable. vital happy young man could have devolved that fast. and that far three days before his death chris could bathing stop shaving and his behavior became erratic he also confided in a
