continue to do so at the cia. thank you. >> thank you, chairman. >> vice chairman. >> it up ms. elwood again for your very eloquent opening statement and our opportunity to vis. >> i the following up on the chairman's comments about rendition and the fact that the law is very clear in terms of the fact that the army field manual applies to cia interrogations, one of the things that during the confirmation process of director pompeo, he committed to reviewing parts of a classified study on rendition and interrogation that are relevant. will you likewise commit to reading and reviewing these -- those parts of that classified study that are relevant to the office of the general counsel? >> yes, sir. >> this committee's spend ang awful lot of time as you are aware and the press is made aware as well on the russian investigation. we have asked the chairman and i and received in many ways unprecedented access that has been the subject of some fairly extensive discussion, but the chairman and i have worked through that wi

person information, still the cia's use of it is restrictive. and then there is -- it's a 30 page single-spaced document just provide agframework -- >> just give me an example, because the way i read it, none of this changes the fact that the agency can conduct searches looking for information on law-abiding americans where there is no requirement that they're suspected of anything. so i'd just like to hear you tell me since you stated it in writing what stringent restrictions would protect that law-abiding american? >> well, for example, senator, before certain information is queried, the standard that is applied would restrict -- it is not simply they can go and query anything they want. it has to be given for a necessary to a authorized activity. so for the purpose of an authorized activity and no further query with respect to publicly available information can't go any further than the necessary extent to further that purpose. now, with respect to different categories of information that are collected different authorities, 702 has a differen

>> most of the cia work falls on the axis of divination.- and this is as old as the hills, okay, that you could see the future, that you could know the unknowable. and the psychics who were working for the cia in the '70s predicted a lot of situations and also saw things, and we're talking, you know, names, places, situations that could not be known in any other manner, particularly looking into the soviet union, looking behind the iron curtain, in places where we could not have assets that were humans. and so that kind of really opened up, it kicked down the doorway to this original research. >> are there any things, for lack of better word, any data, any evidence, any victories that you can point to that we have won, things that we have been benefitted by, protected from because of this extra sensory perception on somebody's part? >> the specifics idea tail in the book in a chronology because you can see how it is an ebbing and flowing, and that's always what drives the scientists crazy, the scientific skeptics. you mentioned iran. i mean

i'd like to talk about what the cia can't do. focus on collect information about foreign governments. for rip terrorist organizations and the like. not americans. a number of rules keep us centered on that information and protect the privacy of fellow americans. one important example, the cia is prohibited of spying on people through electronic surveillance in the united states. we're not tapping any one's phone in my hometown of wichita. i know there will be skeptics and we have to build trust with them. but what i saw as a member of a congressional oversight committee and from what i see as a director, the cia takes its responsibilities with the utmost seriousness. we have stringent regulations and an empowered independent office of inspector general to make sure of that. moreover, regardless of the silver screen, we don't have covert action without accountability. there's a process that starts with the president. let me assure you, when it comes to covert action, there's oversight and accountability every step of the way. i in

people at the cia are paying attention to him. he's the designated guy. raphael wasand associated as a cia operation. my question is, did any, was there any overlap with those who plotted the assassination with the ones trying to kill castro. >> when you're looking at plotting, at the highest levels of the cia you have the same couple of people making these decisions. the director of plans at the time. when did it shift? it was still planned at the time. deputy director plans. at the actual people overlap on the ground, no. the plan for the castro was done with cuban exiles first and foremost. they only cared about cuba. they were great because a singular focus. they were dedicated. they still are very dedicated to this day. castro dying, they had a celebration and said who is next? cuba is not free until cuba is free. fidel but time it was they realized it is now the government of fidel. until the government of fidel is brought down there is no freedom. these guys for 60 years now have been the same thing. as passionate as they have ever been. that is pre

it is about the cia directly. in the changing global threat environment, what will the agency prioritize in attracting the next generation of cia intelligence officials? i am lookingeo: for some brave young men and women who want to go do cool stuff. this agency has a fabulous history, remarkable people. those are the kind of people we are looking for. people who are willing to amount ofan enormous their life to do hard things on behalf of the american people. we will find them and take them from wherever we can peer we need to make sure that the languages, from a cultural context, including the shia language, so we have the capacity to do some of the things. we have to be cutting edge with respect to our technology as well. work her heart -- to work very hard. mr. zarate: related to your remarks to your nonstate actors playing a bigger interest, we talk about the negative side of the ledger. your remarks touched on it. we talk about terrorists, hackers, but there are also cap ethical -- ethical hackers. what is yo

targets of the fbi and cia at the time.technology has proceeded, one of the most significant cases is brian patrick reagan, the subject of a recent book. he worked for the cia, retired military. he is often referred to as an .diot savant he decided that his pension was not adequate and made a decision to go to the public library and made contact to contact both the iraqis as well as the chinese. unbeknownst to us at the time, half-time -- one on a classified .nformation what was clever at the time was he used the newly created gps, and he had gps coordinates for each of his drop sites, and they would refer to, for example, a tree, but to make them more obfuscated, he would take them and put a nail in the tree, and he had another number that would indicate the direction and the number of paces from the tree into the park. he then took the documents, put them in plastic wraps, -- plastic bags, triple wrapped them, and buried them. he has the coordinates for all of these and the addresses for the indices cipher in a letter, a

there was all of these meetings between the cia and the sis very the cia said it was their idea to the players here with those . they have this idea on the already expense and there had. the cia's participation was limited to money and facilities. they say americans aren't that great at intelligence but they have money and engineering. jivinghe constant between the british and american. it on the being a joint project. here on the left we have william harvey. we have someone from the nsa. william harvey was one of those colorful figures that had a failed career in the fbi. then got drunk accident, then moved over to the cia. he is always described as this cowboy and berlin. he had this large pair of eyes that drank martinis with lunch. i don't know how many of the stories were true. others headed off to berlin. you mentioned montgomery was there who was an accomplished linguist. off to berlin to start building the berlin tomball. -- berlin tunnel. so of course in the east you have the soviet sector and then you have the french, british, and american sector. , this idea for the tunnel w

he is ans at the cia, author of four books. the two i am was familiar with are the cia and the origins of that. phd at theceived her ministry of science, from harvard. she is currently a professor at georgia tech. she, if i counted right is the author of five books. the two most recent are seduced right secrets. lovers, ands, spies, the story of invisible ink. that either paper emerged from their books. there are probably no books coming. i will turn things over to them. kevin will go first. kevin: for coming out on this rainy day. it is quite similar to what we see and berlin. thank you for the organizers for the kind invitation to speak today. i am going to flock to this presentation pretty quick so we stay on time. you will be able to get kind of the main point as well. i will have to acknowledge that all of my comments are my own and do not represent the government. because of the topic it does contain scenes of death, i want to give you a little preview of that beforehand. outline for today's talk is essentially looking at

what surprises me is how small the cia is. [laughter] not knowing this was just an out ,uilding, not the headquarters it remains the principal location for applicants and polygraph testing and initial instruction in the cia for a number of years during the 1960's and 1970's. the cuban maharishi -- the cuban ri, a beautiful woman by the name of jennifer miles, a south african, became a cuban aficionado while she was in canada. she worked in the cane fields and malott of important cuban people. -- and met a lot of important cuban people. she was sent back to the united states and told to get a job. she did get a job with the south embassy, and then began meeting and dating and greeting and having affairs with a variety of individuals. she was controlled by two cuban diplomats out of new york. she had an apartment there and would exchange information and carry out her activities. 1980 when she finally started to make -- i'm sorry, 1970, when she started to roads to serious people at the white house that the fbi said, we've had eno

and that sort of thing is not handled by the cia. that has been handled by the fbi. but this new reporting indicates that the cia last summer somehow came into possession of information that the director did one-on-one things with the leadership in congress to tell them about russia interfering with the election and the distinct possibility that trump campaign was helping russia do that. so the trump campaign side of this is something that the fbi would have to handle ultimately, not the cia. and because of that, because that's fbi territory. at that point the investigation becomes a black box to us in terms of what we know about it. but whether or not they are talking about these things, we can see what they're doing. one of the things they have just done is request the arrest of this russian intelligence linked criminal mega hacker who's now sitting in a jail cell in barcelona presumably about to be extra indicted to the united states. and the fbi won't say beep about it. so there's a lot going on in the world right now. in politics, in the news that doesn't look l

the cia can only handle the russian attack part of this. when it comes to the possibility of the trump campaign or any other americans helping that effort, well, then you're talking about americans. that is an american issue. and becomes an american law enforcement operation, right? and that sort of thing is not handled by the cia. that has to be handled by the fbi. but this new reporting indicates that the cia last summer somehow came into possession of what sounds alarming that the director did one-on-one meetings, not to tell them about the election but russian interfering with the election and the distinct possibility that the trump campaign was helping russia do that. so the trump campaign side of that is something the fbi would have to handle ultimately, not the cia. and because of that, because that is fbi territory at that point the investigation becomes a black box to us in terms of what we know about it or at least in terms of what the fbi will say about it. but whether or not they are talking about these things we can see what th

he said the cia just declassified my life work. i invented stealth technology, or rather i was 15, the physicist who led the team. this goes back to when eisenhower was president. so as you can see this is a remarkable lead for a reporter to get. i mean, i went to the cia and lo and behold they had just declassified this aircraft program called oxcart that took place at it. 51. so then i begin to work with lubbock talking to him about his role in the science and technology role in building this incredible aircraft. i learned very quickly, aha, there's a back story to this back story and there's a lot of tangents that are super interesting and they will all fall under axis of the entry fee to it and that's i got the idea for the book. >> host: when did the larger public become aware of area 51? >> guest: well, that's a great question. i mean, it's very interesting terms of u.s. national security because when you think about what a powerful and potent site area 51 is come as a report in the book, the fact that it remains almost unknow

and mi6 is the cia. it's very handy. that said, it all falls apart when you get to the third agency which is called gchq, because that does not sound like anything. there's no neat, easy to remember device to remind us all that the british intelligence agency called gchq is the equivalent of our nsa. there's no easy way to remember. that's their headquarters. the shape reminds you it's a global vacuum for information. gchq stands for government communication headquarters. that's a deliberately obscure name that's not supposed to attract attention. they started fairly small, as a cryptography outfit in britain. in world war ii it became very, very important. in world war ii, the nazis used a machine called enigma to encrypt their sensitive communications. it was widely thought to be unbreakable. in fact it was important that the germans believed enigma was unbreakable. it was inpenetrable as a coding device. the nazis sent their communications using these enigma machines. one of the great british intelligenceects oworld wa

that came from the cia and other places. you became the head of the cia, did you ever dig into it? general petraeus: i didn't dig into that as much as i dug into other issues such as the enhanced interrogation use of enhanced interrogation techniques, something which i am personally opposed for two reasons. i think it is wrong. i think it is beyond, what you will, the international law and geneva convention. number two is i do not think it is as effective as proponents believe it is. jim mattis said give me a beer and a cigarette and i will get more information than by waterboarding him. it's not quite that simple, but simply, it would be that you want to become the detainees' best friend in detention than the interrogator does. the commander who oversaw the holding of more detainees in iraq than at any other time. 27,000. we have some experience with what works and treating them humanely while still eliciting information from them is the way to go about it and the most in afghanistan before. david: you never before had peop

that is the metaphor that the cia used. individual people have some kind of extra gift the rest of us didn't.nt too the defense department took a different approach. they believed that soldiers could be trained to become psychic. and the grave problems arose because the cia advised against this the defense department does pursued it. of r and it led to a lot of problems within these programs you had soldiers trying to be psychic and have very little success. at the same time give individual people who were actually psychic if you will and having success it created a catch 22. the defense department didn't want to believe that peoplee were psychic a lot of corporations are involved in a lot of your books. the rain corporation. a lot of money to be made on these projects.a this is a very important subject defense contracting. the wording area that i saw when i was reporting the pentagon's brain and i learned so you want to talk conspiracy they come up in everybody's in the world of conspiracy.e they are allegedly before i inte

the former director of the cia talking to me this afternoon. the whole of that interview with john brennan on newsnight‘s youtube channel later on. and you can see his richard dimbleby lecture on bbc one tomorrow night. at 2:30pm this afternoon in russia's second city, a suspected bomb detonated on a metro train, killing at least 11 people and injuring many more. st petersburg is vladimir putin's home town, and tonight he laid flowers at the metro station. russia is used to terror attacks by chechen separatists. but the country's involvement in syria has also brought threats from is propaganda groups. here'sjohn sweeney with what we know, and a warning that his film does contain some upsetting images. the fog of terror in st petersburg metro today. the bomb packed with shrapnel was powerful enough to shred metal doors. this is the moment passengers struggled to escape from the doomed train. long before the authorities arrived, passengers did their best to help the casualties. 11 dead, 50 injured and little clarity on the big questions. who did

second of all, karl rove has never been part of the nsa, the cia or the fbi. very well-respected republican. here's the deal. trish: gosh, is this actually happening? forget about whether or not any of us had experience in the nsa or the cia, we are people with common sense. scott, if you got word that someone in the trump campaign is actually communicating with the russians in such a way they were trying to manipulate the elections, believe me, you would want the white house's attention on that. you would unmask those names. you don't need to go susan rice to do it. >> by the way, james comey has been investigating that very issue since july of last year, stow did have the attention of the fbi and probably the attention of the white house as well. trish: so i would only ask you, why wouldn't they unmask it. >> she had the right to unmask for whatever reason or purpose. you want to call her before hearings to say why did do you it? she said not for political purposes, we don't know. how much do we really know? we do not know. trish: more stories, can you admit

the cia have concern over the fbi? thefox: it's funny, because police training that the fbi gets involved in internationally , it basically works into its national academy program, which started in 1935, and it was aimed at training domestic states,n the united that by 1937, they are inviting others, so it becomes an international exchange, never on a huge scale, but with other police agencies. they don't get into the counterintelligence training. part of it is the fbi is learning it. they are starting from the ground up to some extent, so their knowledge is limited. as it goes along, 1960's, the kennedy administration was to broaden that international police training and in the post-cold war, the international law enforcement academy and other regional programs become very much part and parcel of that, but it does not surprise me that the fbi was concerned if mi5 was bulking up some of the countries that it had responsibility for in the counterintelligence realm. i would be interesting and knowing the sources and woul

the number of leaks. and some of them are quite serious. so yes, it is a priority. amy: last week, cia chief mike pompeo blasted wikileaks as a "hostile intelligence service" in a stark reversal from his previous praise for the group. pompeo made the remarks in his first public address as cia director. >> it is time to caught wikileaks for what it really is, a nonstate hostile intelligence service often abetted by state actors like russia. in reality, they champion nothing but their own celebrity. their currency is quickly, their moral compass is nonexistent. their mission, personal self-aggrandizement to destruction of well -- western dollies. amy: in his speech, pompeo went on to accuse wikileaks of instructing army whistleblower chelsea manning to steal information. he also likened julian assange to a demon and suggested assange is not protected under the first amendment. it's been nearly five years since julian assange entered the ecuadorian embassy in london seeking political asylum fearing a swedish arrest warrant could lead to his extradition to the united states. for more, we g

a stunning assessment from the cia director mike pompeo. nutes ago he came out and said wikileaks is a non- state hostile intelligence service working with russia. yes, that's right. the same wikileaks that president trump, then candidate trump, repeatedly praised on the campaign trail. so pamela brown is here with more on the story. quite a turnaround for -- if not president trump, at least the trump organization. >> that's right. because today you had the cia director, mike pompeo, in his first public remarks, jake, going after wikileaks, taking direct aim at wikileaks and i think founder julian assange, saying that he wanted to call wikileaks what it is, a non-state hostile intelligence service that encourages followers to find jobs at the cia in order to obtain intelligence that will harm the u.s. >> wikileaks walks like a hostile intelligence service and talks like a hostile intelligence service. it has encouraged followers to find jobs at the cia in order to obtain intelligence. it is time to call out wikileaks for what it really is, a

the americans very much focused on big scale training. basic policing, military training, cia training. because of prayers limited resources they focused on much more specialized types of training. security intelligence. activities, the british foreign office propaganda wing that conducted a number of training operations to train local states to run covert propaganda operations essentially. there were a number of mutated -- u.s.-u.k. projects. they viewed it as a facility which they could offer in the brits could fund it to expand the operations. laosian was set up by the british and french in the 1950's. a degree of cooperation in south vietnam in 19 six east. thompson mission started in 1961. british police training missions group until the early 1970's, which ran concurrently with the larger american police training mission in vietnam. this was done with american agreement. those police trainers on the faced off a that often more -- often face more obstacles and cooperation from trainers on the ground who felt they were stepping on their toes. this is a story which i will c
