ironically after years of working for the c.i.a. anger zones, i tried out gamutry worth -- gadgetry worthy of james bond in the sense of a high tech handgun. let's have a look. >> reporter: when i worked at the c.i.a. and had to sometimes carry a gun, i worried as a woman that i could be overpowered and have my gun taken and used against me. now, as a mum of two young boys, gun safety is a huge concern in my household. according to the latest statistics, each day approximately five children are killed or injured by guns. the newest smart gun, the ip1 is designed to alleviate both of these concerns by personalizing the weapons ability to fire. this works like a regular firearm, if we didn't tell civilians there's batteries, they wouldn't know. >> there's a watch. if you decide "i'm ready to personalise my firearm, i don't want the children to activate the gun", you can sync your watch. once you sync the watch to the firearm, it requires a pip code. >> arma tech c.e.o. demonstrates how the gun can only be fired for eight hours once the

and the c.i.a. who set up the program after 9/11. general, welcome back to fox news sunday. >> now senator rand paul said he will force the expiration of the bulk data collection at midnight tonight through various parliament try maneuvers and he can only do this until wednesday at the latest. the hearing on the senate floor was the week before last in the filibuster explaining the objections. here he is. >> it is an end run that has gone around the constitution, gone around the 4th amendment to collect information we have actually said should be illegal to be collected but we are doing it because we have done an end run around. >> general what do you think of what senator paul is doing forcing the expiration of this program? >> it is unfortunate. there is a political consensus right now that n.s.a. needs access to meta data with 338 people in the house of representatives voting in favor of the usa freedom act. i have issues with the details of that act. it is amazing there was a consensus. n.s.a. still needs to have access to this m

in fact, the c.i.a. psychologist that was part of this group went to work for the two psychologists who actually masterminded the torture program. >> top bush administration officials like dick cheney have continued to say these interrogations were necessary to protect national security. if the a.p.a. did what the report says, can it be argued that they simply did what the times demanded to prevent another 9/11 attack? >> well, the professional association, doctors psychologists, we're supposed to have the cool head and an independent ethical standard. when everybody is frightened, you should turn to psychologists to not react in a frightened way. >> but psychology is part of that plays into every day law enforcement and legal interactions with criminal suspects. that can't be argued. where is the line? >> the line is very clear. it has to do with do no harm. we are dedicated to the public good and we -- so when we pervert our ethics to suddenly become the arbiter was what's harm to be the ones who resea

all of this we'll turn to cbs news contributor michael morrell, who was formally 99 number two at the c.i.a. michael is it likely this attack was inspired by isis or directed by isis? >> scott, there's no evidence that isis directed the attack, no evidence they were in communication with these two individuals, much more likely that these individuales were self-radicalized. whether that was by isis or whether that was by al qaeda is an open question. >> pelley: what does it tell you that isis was so quick to claim responsibility for this? >> scott interesting. i really think it's a sign of weakness on isis' part. this is a bit of a stretch for them if you think about it. this was not a successful attack. there was no open devotion by these individuals to isis. so i actually think this might be a sign of weakness, a reflection that they see that their momentum has slowed a bit. >> pelley: what do you make of the fact that one of these suspects simpson, was known to law enforcement for years? >> scott, there's a lot of individuals who at some point in their life had some link to terrorism. you

when the c.i.a. found out about osama bin laden's whereabouts through a paid informant, not from one of osama bin laden's court yours. these and other allegations that hersch makes contradict the line that's been put out by the obama administration, and by pakistani officials. hersch is a legendary journalist, covering the mili massacre of vietnamese citizens, and the abuse of iraqi prisoners at abu ghraib. the white house and some noticeable delegates in the world denounced hersch's story calling it incredible and thinly sourced. since 9/11, the u.s. funnelled $20 billion in direct aid to pakistan. to help it fight al qaeda and the taliban in afghanistan. but they view india as a bigger threat to security then afghanistan. questions over pakistan's role as american friend or foe come down to competing interest and pakistan's willingness to engage with groups of u.s. loathes. joining us is retired pakistani lieutenant general. he ran from 1990 to 1992. and served as the director of the interservice in

the former deputy director of the c.i.a., mike morell, has said that every sentence was wrong. >> ifillll, officials made 103 bin laden papers and videos public today. they said the timing was not connected to the hersh story. one hand-written letter, a missive to one of his wives, translated by the u.s. government, is titled "my will," and says: "if i get killed, and you want to return to your family, then that is okay, but you have to raise my children properly." another letter turns out to be a job application to join al qaeda. would-be jihadis are instructed to "write clearly and legibly." and they are asked: "who should we contact in case you become a martyr?" for more on what was contained in the bin laden documents, we turn to, brian fishman a research fellow at both the new america foundation and the combating terrorism center at west point. and, greg miller, who covers national security matters for the washington post. greg miller, you spent the day poring through all of these documents. what did you see after having covered this issue for so long that surprised and enlightened

you're looking at the individual who went out to the c.i.a. and prepared colin powell for that presentation in terms of orchestrating all the analysts from 16 different intelligence agencies working daily and nightly with george tenet and frankly on three pillars of that presentation, mobile biological laboratories, existing stocks of chemical an biological weapons, a nuclear program and then a forth one which was tantamount to the biggest lie of all formidable contacts between saddam hussein and al-qaeda. on one occasion powell grabbed me, put me down in a chair in the national intelligence council spaces where nowhere else was, closed the door. and he said take all that terrorist crap out. none of it is believable. take it out. i said boss, don't shout at me. we'll take it out. within 30 minutes, colonel powell told them about a high level operative who had been interrogating and revealed substantial contacts between the secret police and al-qaeda to the use of chemical and biological weapon, that was a total fabrication. he gave a presentati

we've heard what the head of the c.i.a. said today on the sunday show. he's afraid that something is going to happen when this act expires. and that's not just my assessment of the situation or the head of the c.i.a. even senate republicans feel the same way. the republican junior senator from montana said yesterday, "we could have done this a week ago. this is the nature of washington. always manufacturing by crisis." close quote. fortunately, there is a clear way out. pass the u.s.a. freedom act which the house overwhelmingly passed with 338 votes on a totally bipartisan basis. all we need is a few more republican senators to vote with democrats and the bill will pass. just three maybe four, maybe five but a few senators. all we need to bring this unnecessary crisis to a screaming halt. i'm confident we can pass this bill if the majority leader would bring it to the floor for a fair vote. now, procedurally, mr. president, it's going to be extremely difficult to not have this bill -- law expire -- not a bill this law expire. any other course in just pas

i was in the room for every discussion about this at the c.i.a. and i was in the room for every discussion about this at the white house. i was there when our guys came in and said we have followed somebody that we believe to be bin laden's courier to his home in pakistan. i was there when our guys you know, watched the compound for months. i was there when our guys said, you know, we've come to the conclusion that he's there and there was no information provided us by the pakistanis or anybody else, by the way. i see that in the media this morning, some confidential german sources were claiming the germans provided us with information. not true. i was there when the president of the united states decided we were not going to tell the pakistanis in advance. not because we didn't want to. there would have been nothing better for the relationship between the united states and pakistan and then to have worked together on this but we simply couldn't trust the pakistani system. not the pakistani government, but the pakistani system to have him leave the

he was a security analyst for the c.i.a. good to see you. is this record opium poppy growth the result of the afghan government and international community ignoring the problem because they've been more focused on terrorism? >> no, if anything, it's inevitable result of the policy and afghan government policy for the last seven years. for the first years of the war we practice an eradication strategy, meaning u.s. and afghan and coalition force, when they encounter the fields, they destroy them burning them down. that is pushing the farmers into the arms of the taliban. and so there was a concerted effort among the international community and the afghan government to switch the strategy. and as a result now, the bulk of forces when they are involved in counter-narcotics is going after the large-scale suppliers, distributors, people that move and process and refine heroin. it allows the farmers who are mostly poor and rural to be paid to grow the only crop that is a decent wage from the country, and at the same time hoping to prevent the produ

the plot. >> ifill: police in pakistan have withdrawn a criminal complaint against a former c.i.a. station chief over a u.s. drone strike. the 2009 attack killed two people in a tribal region. police originally filed the case in islamabad, but they now say they don't have jurisdiction. >> woodruff: back in this country, vermont senator bernie sanders is now officially in the race for the democratic presidential nomination, in 2016. the 73-year-old sanders pledged today to fight for campaign finance reform, income equality and tax code overhauls. he spoke outside the u.s. capitol. >> if you raise the issues that are on the hearts and minds of the american people, if you try to put together a movement which says we have got to stand together as a people and say that this capitol, this beautiful capitol, our country belongs to all of us and not the billionaire class, that's not raising an issue, that is winning elections. that's where the american people are. >> woodruff: sanders is the first major challenger to hillary clinton, who is heavily favored in the democratic contest. >> ifil

looking at how bush decided to invade iraq and a lot of mistakes but it was bush telling george tenet, the c.i.actor, don't let anyone stretch the case on weapons of mass destruction and he was the one who was skeptical. if you try to summarize why we went into iraq, it was momentum. the work plan kept getting better and easier and people in the end were saying, look, it will only take a week or two and early on it looked like it was going to take a career or 18 months. bush pulled the trigger a mistake, certainly, can be argued and there is abundance of evidence but there was in lie in this. >> what about 2011 and obama's decision to pull out all of the choices. this was status agreement between bush and the iraqi government. the pentagon was talking about between 10,000 and 20,000 and a lot of people think although obama tried to negotiation but we didn't a lot of people thing he did not want to keep troops there. >> he didn't. obama does not like war. as you look back on this, the argument from the military was let's keep 10,000 or 15,000 troops this as an insurance policy. we all know insura

mike morell, for example the former acting director of the c.i.a., richard clarke, who held an extremely important position in two administrations served with both republicans and democrats -- both of them are signatories to this important report. and beyond that, mr. president -- and it has not gotten much attention -- the reality is that our government, on top of everything else, has emergency authorities so that when those who are charged with protecting our country believe there is a threat to the nation, they're allowed to issue an emergency authorization to get the information that they need right away and then they can go back and get the warrant approved after the fact. mr. president, nobody is talking about eliminating that emergency authority. so what we have is a program that the most authoritative anti-terror experts in the country believe does not make our nation any safer -- and i read the most significant finding in their report -- and on top of that, as i just indicated, emergency authorities are still preserved. and, in fact, mr. president i've indicated to our president
