former head of the c.i.a., michael haden, testified in front of the foreign affairs committee, that we never believed that the iranian -- that the uranium at iran's declared facilities would ever make its way into a weapon. we always believed that that work would be done somewhere else in secret. . o again, if you cannot get international inspectors into parchin, where they did that work, what makes us believe that in the future we'll have international inspectors, once that's the established premise, go anywhere else? go anywhere else. as haden said, requiring consultations between the world powers and iran takes inspections from the technical level and puts it at the political level which we he lls a formula for chaos, obfuscation, ambiguity, and doubt. and we do not even know how bad

we have the former c.i.a. director david petraeus, suggesting that some al nusra fighters, al qaeda, they pledge agreement, they are al qaeda. they should be used in the battle to defeat i.s.i.l. in syria. the united states - when it suits the united states - wants to use jihadis to defeat the bigger enemies. >> from three years and eight months from 1941 to 1945 they were a close ally of history, a greater murderer. we needed him in order to defeat him. it was the right decision. sometimes you have to work with really awful people in order to prevent a greater terrible thing from happening. >> i think it's called reality. >> this is a perfect example of how this is not theological. if this was ideology driving this. al qaeda and i.s.i.s.'s ideology is not different. and saudi arabia's ideology is not different. yet they are fighting with one another. this is a political struggle about territory. this is about who controls these pieces of land. and we don't talk about the problem in that context nearly enough.

. >> rose: the c.i.a. operative once selves to -- said to me through the training you have, you have to, you have to charm people. >> yes, yes. if the c.i.a. told you, well if the c.i.a. told you then that's the way it is because they're not bad specialists. >> rose: think outloud for me, though. think outloud because this is important. how can the united states and russia cooperate in the interest of a better world? think outloud. >> we're always thinking about that. one of the areas of our cooperation which is extremely today for millions of people on the planet is our common joining of forces and our common effort in countering terror. the other phenomena of this kind combating drug traffic. >> rose: like where. >> in all the regions of the w. now what you said, you mentioned russia and the united states are the greatest nuclear powers. that places additional responsibility on our shoulders. we manage to work together along certain lines, we get along. especially when it comes to iran's nuclear program.

with unique insight into this we'll bring in michael morrell, former number two at the c.i.a. and senior security contributor for cbs news. this? significance. this is the first time the russians have conducted combat operations in the middle east since the end of world war ii. >> pelley: what do you think russian president vladimir putin is up to? >> there's lots of reasons here, scott, but i think they boil down to two. the first is that he is trying to prop up assad. assad is weaker today than he has been since the fall of 2012, up. why? because putin really fears that if assad were to depart the scene, that there would be even more instability in syria, that isis could grow even more, perhaps even day care over damascus. he really believes that. the second reason, scott, is that russia in general, putin in particular want to be seen as major players on the global stage, and this gives that to putin, as well. >> pelley: has the obama administration been outmaneuvered by russia? >> you know, i think the real problem here, scott, is that what putin has done on the ground in sy

[applause] the former director of the c.i.a. and the n.s.a. said he knows of no american intelligence official who would claim, as secretary kerry does, that we have complete knowledge of what iran has done in the past. detecting elements of a country's nuclear program and predicting lou howe close it is to breakout is a notoriously difficult intelligence task. it is one that we have failed at time and time again. the united states failed to predict the first soviet atomic test in 1949. the first chinese test in 1964. the first indian test in 1974. the first pakistani test in 1998. and the first north korean test in 2006. all of this should raise serious concerns about the claims president obama has made that the agreement guarantees a breakout time of at least one year. accurately assessing how far the iranians are from obtaining a nuclear weapon would require a full and complete disclosure of their past activity. inspectors need a baseline. if we don't know how much progress iran has made towards obtaining a nuclear weapon, we cannot accurat

. >> woodruff: the c.i.a. and u.s. ial operations forces have launched a drone campaign against islamic state leaders. "the washington post" reports drones are being used for targeted killings inside syria. the effort marks a substantial increase in the c.i.a's overall role in the syrian conflict. >> ifill: in iraq, masked men dressed in military uniforms kidnapped 18 turkish construction workers in baghdad. the kidnappers stormed a site at a sports complex early this morning, as the workers were sleeping. turkish officials said the turkish workers were separated out from the rest, and taken away. >> at this stage, it is difficult to comment on why this kidnapping happened or the motive behind it. we are in touch with the turkish construction company. we've learned among the 18 kidnapped, there were 14 workers, p engineers and 1 accountant. of course, we'll continue to follow the issue. >> ifill: there was no claim of responsibility, but suspicion fell on islamic state forces. turkey recently began air strikes against t

one is sustaining or bases and stations around the world that the c.i.a. is host for, what is increasingly become i.c. cells. by the way, we here in the beltway like to agonize and hyperventilate over whether we're integrated or not. when you go out to the field, i just had a reminder of that on my last trip, there's no question about integration and operating as a team. because it's just good business. when i first started traveling in this job, i thought, when i had had i.c. town halls, embassies around the world, i needed to roll out my sermon about integration. i stopped doing that because it's just not necessary anymore. in fact, i would submit that what c.i.a. is doing in its reorganization is saluting what already goes on in the field, internally. as they are integrating into a series of mission centers. so i think that's -- that global coverage around the world is one very important dimension. so that we cannot possibly predict every single crisis and challenge we're going to have. so we have to be positioned where we can observe, collect and unders

. >> at the c.i.a. i was trained to analyse complex and sometimes contradictory data. imate change fits into that model as well. washington d.c. - politics are part of the equation. no matter what the science is, there's going to be contentious debate. >> i had a different experience. i was dealing with the scientists and citizens who are not debating if climate change is happening, but they are living it now. >> i think it's interesting that both sides of the debate claim to be on the side of science, and use studies as ammunition. we wanted to know who is right. things got interesting. >> as scientists we are trained to look at the data and go from there. that's what we try to keep in mind as we delve into the debate - the politics of climate change. >> the picture esque sunrise on the strip of miami beach florida hides the danger facing the tourist island. >> florida is sort of an epicentre for climate impacts >>> those are forcing a massive city-wide reconstruction effort, turning miami beach into a real-life laboratory to deal with a climate changing all-too fast.

there was reporting that the c.i.a. made monthly cash drops at the office of karzai. your story is incredible on its own. now we are seeing history repeating itself in afghanistan. the u.s. ends its combat operations nine months ago and the taliban takes over a large city. could afghanistan turn into another iraq? >> we are not there yet. but this is a big deal. it's caught a lot of people by surprise, both in the u.s. and in afghanistan. there has been a lot of fighting in the area around kunduz, but not into the si. and i talked to someone in the pentagon that said they went there sunday night and everything was fine. monday night they go to bed. they wake up today and now it's under taliban control. it took a lot of people by surprise, and is the first time. that alone. >> where things are headed. >> what you said about the afghan forces. is it a foregone conclusion. after the decision, the administration is wrestling with. i was surprised when talking to people in washington who normally. to this delaying the inevitable. this is a certain amount of exhaustion and

so fred, as former top level official of the c.i.a., how do you deal with all that? >> i mean, it's unbelievable. senator menendez added that under this deal, iran will continue to develop advanced centrifuges, which will shorten the time line to iranian nuclear weapons. iranian terrorists, named terrorists, sanctions against them are lifted under this deal. no one is talking about that. >> as general sulamani. he went off to moscow. that was denied. they're responsible for killing our american troops with those ieds from iran in iraq, as you know. in terms of the iranian parliament, we have congress here. but apparently they say there will be a heated debate over this in tehran and the parliament, they turned down international agreements before. the hard liners going to win on this in tehran? >> democrats will vote for this deal are voting for a deal that the iranians are indicating they're not going to abide by. prime minister rouhani says they're not going to abide by missile sanctions. the iranian defense minister says they won't allow access to military bases. n

the c.i.a. estimates of the manpower remains constant despite u.s. air strikes which suggests they are either wrong to begin with or that isil is replacing its losses in real time. neither is good. indeed this committee is disturbed by recent whistleblower allegations that officials at central command skewed intelligence assessments to paint an overly positive picture of conditions on the ground. we are currently investigating these allegations which we take with the utmost seriousness. the department of defense should as well, and if true, those responsible must be held accountable. ultimately, it's not -- ultimately, it's not that we are doing nothing to counter isil. it's that there is no compelling reason to believe that anything we are currently doing will be sufficient to achieve our strategic objective of degreagged and ultimately destroying isil. the united states and our partners do not have the initiative. our enemies do. they're capitalizing on our inadequate policy to maintain and enhance their initiative as they have for the past four ye

the f.b.i. and c.i.a. looked the other way.od of news coverage, very little time or ink was devoted to the secret exodus. america in confusion couldn't focus on how such an assault was even conceived. maybe a progressional investigation convened, an issue to report in 2003. curiously, at the time president bush banned the public release of the critical 28 pages. republican and democratic senators and congressmen read these pages and information collected quietly over the years point to saudi arabia as the main banker for 9-11. a picture emerges of a network of saudi operatives planted in the u.s. by the royal family and its government. a house in sarasota where saudi agents welcomed at least two of the terrorists. too late we realized saudi charitable contributions in america somehow wound up financing al-qaeda. a year later, the 9-11 commission released its much praised report and did too censor the extent of saudi arabia's deceit and murder. a lawsuit filed by thousands of victims' relatives against the sunni state has made i

kind of what the americans say about 1953 and the c.i.a. oh, that, if they even know about it at all. there's this mutual bafflement and ignorance. there were people who are against the agreement and there are people who are hostile to america for sure. i spoke with two grand ayatollah and a very senior ayatollah. and i asked my stock question do you wish to destroy the state of israel? it was a fun question to pop on people. and one of them said, yeah, kind of. i do [laughter] he said that i think that israel's policies are atrocious but i think they're atrocious because of the inherent nature of zionism and because if israel cannot change it, then they should be destroyed. two people said we oppose israel because of its policies not because of its existence. and that offered some implications for the future. right now the supreme leader is definitely in the camp of people who oppose israel buzz of its existence and he's also in the hostile of america camp. it's a deep-seated thing. i don't see that changing in a long time. underneath him t
