the local police, the fbi. nt into a house about nine houses down on the left side of this block back here in bridgeport. we were going to get our first chance to walk up to the home in a matter of minutes. that's when agents say they will clear the scene. we have seen them remove evidence. they describe it as possible evidence that has been taken away to a vehicle with six fbi agents. now, there is a second home where faisal shahzad had been living in the past. before that, for three or four years. he was living with his wife and two young children in a home about 20 minutes away in the town ofiéa&n shelton. according to one neighbor who lives next door, she has said that he was odd, to use her words. that he was strange. that he often wore black and would go jogging at night. he told her husband heñlktr worn wall street. we can't confirm that9eúcw-,l n. but that's information we're working to try to confirm. the sense would be he has some familiarity with manhattan in that is the case. again, the fbi wrapping

we found that the fbi did not consistently nominate known or suspected terrorists to the consolidated terrorist watch list and did not update or remove watch list records as required by fbi policy. in response to fbi's made progress addressing our recommendations including the development of a training course to ensure all counterterrorism personnel are familiar with the current fbi watch list procedures, improving internal controls to ensure that known or suspected terrorists are nominated to the watch list and also ensuring that watch list records are modified or removed as required. while the department's highest priority is counterterrorism, it must also focus attention on its traditional law enforcement functions, including the investigation and prosecution of financial crimes, cybercrimes and violent crimes. one critical issue for the department is how to allocate its resources among these competing demands. for example, the oig is regularly revvewed how the fbi allocates and utilizes its personnel resources. we issued last month an audit that determined that in 2009, the fbi ha

i know that we sent them back to the fbi headquarters. i never received them but i haven't had any follow-up. a couple of years later left the agency and i spoke to him again in 2005 and i asked him what happened to the numbers for the traces were done and he said the fbi never traced those numbers. they said initially that they didn't have the pashtu translator is necessary to dedicate to the job. but i said the bills were in english. they didn't need to be translated. that is the reason we know what they were and he said well all i know is the fbi --. in a worst-case scenario this is terrorists of living among us. >> host: and it was clear the bureau warned us about that after 9/11 they could have sleeper cells. >> guest: attorney general ashcroft that time was clear about the possibility of sleeper cells in the united states and al qaeda's leadership delude it to the fact there were sleeper cells in the united states. in 2007 finally came and i asked once again what ever happened to those numbers and he said to the best of his knowledge

i'm sure the fbi is going to do their afteraction and figure out what might have happened. second one is a little more troubling. it ended up well but demonstrated a flaw in the system even after we changed it and improved it so much. the airlines are not mandated to update their no-fly list more than once every 12 hours. because of that, emirates air said, hey, we weren't told to do it. department of homeland security has said, wait a minute. when we sent out shahzad's name, we asked the airlines to do it right away. so now we've seen the administration say you have to update every two hours. that's the new policy. so they're starting to fix that loophole that had it broke in the wrong way, shahzad would have been on a plane. it's not to say he would have gotten away. but he would have been on a plane and it would have taken off. >> just to put this in perspective, 12:30 the feds put out this note to the airlines saying, hey, watch your passenger manifest for this guy. he's on the no-fly list now. he arrives at the airport 7:30 monday and is allowed to board. the only reas

one of the things that intrigued me during this time. fbi and normally that's the purview of the united states marshal service, but we had grown to admire this man so much, we weren't going to let anybody protect him, but ourselves. >> mike: and a lot of the story we won't get to. some of your colleagues at fbi talk openly about this experience and what an amazing man of courage tom was during this entire ordeal that happened. tom, i want to ask you about your wife and your kids. did they ever come to you and say, hey, this is enough? we've done our duty? >> governor, i'm very proud of them. they recognizance recognized this was very serious. and they were frightened, but they stood, stood tall with me and saw it to the conclusion. it was, i'm just very proud of them. they're great children, they all live real close to me now that they're married and have-- i have eight grandchildren and they're just terrific young people that i'm very, very proud of. they have a great deal of courage and conviction. >> mike: and how many of the mob did you

and the fbi traces? he said to the best of his knowledge nothing was ever done with it. and then finally, i ran into an fbi, former fbi colleagues with whom i served in islamabad and i asked him and he said put into a box sent to an fbi storage facility in suburban maryland. the box has never been opened and nobody ever traced the calls. so for all we know your we are eight years later these people still living in the united states -- >> host: the complex nsa operation at the beginning of the george w. bush administration where we were using -- trying to digest that information to get who was al qaeda calling in the united states and why. >> guest: that's right. and there it was in black and white. >> host: well, one of the really most exciting parts of your book is your capture of zubaydah, this high-ranking al l qaeda officials. can you take us through that? >> guest: sure. in february 2002 we got word from headquarters the abu zubaydah was somewhere in pakistan and that is all they said was he was somewhere in pakistan. >> host: do you know him by the name of the time?

on his way to the airport hoping to escape on an emirates airlines flight to dubai. an fbi surveillance team did not see him drive away. one official says he switched cars and that agents were forced to keep a distance to avoid detection. still, some considered it a serious lapse. >> the fact that they didn't know where he was for several hours and got him back only in the nick of time is a cause of worry. >> reporter: earlier that day, hearing that shahzad might try to fleerks the fbi got his name added to the government's no-fly list-airlines are required to deny boarding to anyone on it. but the rules only required airlines to update their list every 24 hours. starting today, they must update no-fly lists every two hours. the fbi also asked on monday that shahzad be added to another watchlist, one used by border agents. it's that border alert list that was actually used to pull shahzad off the flight here at kennedy airport. once the plane was fully boarded, the airline gave the passenger list to agents of customs and border protection. they spotted his name and hauled h

, and whether or not you had the responsibility for working with the fbi toensure that the discrimination complaints that have come from within are being settled, and whether or not there is a backlog. and i will be writing his more on this, but i want to hear from you just briefly what you know and what you have done. >> well, just two weeks ago i issued a directive come up plan for the department of justice that includes all of the departments components, including the fbi, the dea, the atf and other components that make up the department. there are people who are going to be in place to monitor this, to monitor these diversity efforts, all of the components have to come back i believe by the end of june with what their plan is to diversify their ranks. this department of justice is committed to diversity. this department of justice is at its strongest speed due to a backlog in the fbi discrimination? do have a backlog of discrimination complaints in fbi? >> i don't know. i'll have to check and i can get back to on that. >> and the report is public, that in

accused bomber faceal shahzad was driven away from the fbi's offices. the 30-year-old allegedly admits he is the one who built the car bomb and drove night times square. at his bridgeport home, officials say a day-long search uncovered evidence like fertilizer and fireworks, evidence similar to the components used in the bomb that did not explode. >> but all of that together, that lethal assembly, really made a very big hurt lock. >> in lengthy questioning, he calmly claims he acted alone. prosecutors say shahzad did travel to pakistan for bomb training. and investigators want to know more about the extremist he met with there as well as phone calls he made to pakistan in the weeks before the alleged plot. >> we're, of course, working with our law enforcement intelligence partners to uncover all possible ties this particular individual has or may have had to radical creamism or terrorist organizations both at home and overseas. >> reporter: as of now, officials say one theory is that even though shahzad got help from others for bomb training, he returned

i think the fbi does a pretty good job sharing information. he problem is those state and local law-enforcement agencies, when they feel the fbi is not sharing information with them because they do not have security clearances. there's a degree of tension and frustration. my answer to them is -- make sure you have good representation within the system and you will get access to the information. then you can use it appropriately to protect the communities. not perfectly, but i believe the fbi -- i've been a strong critic of them when i think they do things wrong. i think they've done a good job of bringing in the state and local governments and sharing appropriate information. host: sheehan, thank you for being here. coming up next, senator jeff bingaman. we will be talking about the oil spill, climate change, and other energy issues. >> part of our live coverage today on the c-span network's includes former alaskan gov. palin speaking to the susan b. anthony list. our live coverage begins at 9:30 a.m. eastern on c-span3. at 1:00 p.m., the presi

intelligence community and the fbi. our watchlist system properly implemented can be an effective mechanism for preventing individuals with suspected terrorist ties from boarding an airplane. it also averts law enforcement and burglar protection -- border protection agencies to screen potential terrorists and allows the state department to revoke of pieces of foreign individuals when terrorist ties of people trying to -- travel to the u.s. airline the evidence remains that the evidence used to compile the watchlist is fragmentary and of varying degrees of credibility. as ted kennedy discovered when his name was included. the watch list can be inaccurate. it is not, in other words, the equivalent of a criminal history report.

there were gaps in the system, the terror watch list, the airline, the fbi losing the suspect on the the nypd did its job. >> the nypd has done its job time and time again. they are the greatest force in the world and what they have been able to do is we've had at least 11 terror attempts on new york city since 9/11. and so our police officers need to be extremely well trained, very vigilant, and have done their job under commissioner kelly extremely well. not only did they handle this case well but they've handled all the previous cases well. so we need those funds to keep our community safe and because new york city is such a terror target, whether the financial sector or the u.n. or any part of new york that is a target for terror, we need to be able to protect those places, our religious institutions, and the real fabric of new york. >> i wanted to switch quickly before we run out of time here to the financial regulation bill. you've been a recipient of money from wall street. you're obviously the senator from new york and that is an obvious connection but do you think that the w

i was going to say that -- >> this is for you. >> the fbi would send the leads immediately. and in this situation, they may have already done that because that one person was developed as a suspect started to obtain telephone and e-mail records. they saw contacts going to not just pakistan but all over the united states. they would be sending leads to those countries for the fbi to request the host country to provide the information of who was the recipient of the e-mail or the recipient of the phone calls in those countries. and then also as they were identifying this person, what's his background in terms of the other country? is he still a citizen of the other country? what residence did he have? did he have affiliations with us is suspicious persons of the country. the investigation will be absolutely immediate once they have the identity of the suspect in this case. >> also wonder if this suspect was on any kind of list, no fly list or, you know, if his name was on any terror list. drew, your thoulghts on that. >> i'm sorry. >> no worries. i was just telling orb asking

he is former deputy assistant director of the fbi. mr. andon, good morning. >> good morning. >> it is the question of the morning. what good is it to put a suspect on a no-fly list monday morning when later that same day, he's going to successfully buy a one-way ticket, clear security, and get on a plane bound for dubai? >> well, this is the question of the day. how could this happen? this is not necessarily rocket science, and we've had a long time to work out all the glitches. it shouldn't have happened. but, in the end, we also have to remember, that, in fact, it did work. very close call on it, but it did work. >> it did work, but he still managed to get on the plane. what if, for example, he'd had explosives with him then? >> sure. >> on the plane. >> sure. no, it was -- it's not what should happen. there's no question about that. i don't mean to imply that at all. this has to be reviewed, and fine tuned, unfortunately we've been through this for a number of years and had a number of incidents. it has to be fixed right now. >> we have

. >> reporter: it turns out that the fbi surveillance team lost track of shahzad on monday as he was driving in the area. >> the key is, you want to stay with him and follow him but you don't want to have the surveillance made. you don't want to spook him. you're going to stay back, and the fear, obviously, in staying back is, it increases the likelihood that you could lose him. >> reporter: and they did. so, unknown to the fbi, shahzad drove directly to kennedy airport, where he parked his car in a short-term lot, leaving a .9 millimeter semiautomatic pistol in the vehicle. though his name and passport number had been flagged, he was able to buy a one-way ticket in cash and board an emirates flig flight. >> there was a problem alongline. >> reporter: it was only as the plane was taxiing for takeoff, u.s. customs boarded the plane to arrest him. the attorney general said today he was never worried. >> i was never in any fear that we were in danger of losing him. >> reporter: once shahzad was in custody, officials made sure the naturalized u.s. citizen was questioned by a special fbi t

at the time of the shooting, and the fbi was already investigating this man after his arrest in yemena fake somali passport. and on november 10, 2009, major najal hassan attacked fort hood. after the fort hood shooting, i wrote an op-ed web the chair of the 9/11 commission urging congress to close the terror gap. our message was that we cannot wait for another for a good to happen before we take action. the bush to administration proposed closing the gap in 2007, but because nothing has happened, people who may want to do our country harm have no trouble buying guns and explosives as the gao report clearly shows. the legislation before you today would give the fbi did ability to make exceptions when they say that tipping -- that this might set off a suspect. it allows those on the list to appeal their status with the justice department and challenged the determination in court. attorney general eric holder supported this in testimony before the senate judiciary committee last year and so did the vast majority of americans. and senator lieberman, as you pointed out, a december poll by

reason for that failure of oversight is that when the whistleblower protection acts were passed, the fbi, cia, nsa and other intelligence agencies were exempted from the protections so that employees of the agencies do not have the right to report when they see malfeasance or abuse or misconduct that actually a post is-- poses a risk for national security and that is why we feel it is tremendously important to include those agencies within the protections so that we can better enhance our security by allowing those employees to report this abuse. particularly to congress, because of course when it is laid out, the problems in the christmas event, it laid claim that the fbi, cia, nsa and the national counterterrism center that it didn't reflect its own blame that it has helped pass these enhanced protections for national security agencies and intelligence whistleblowers. they bill in the house, h.r. 1507, passed twice already over the years. it is really the gold standard where we would like to see a national security whistleblowers otected. basically removes the exemption and gives them

but the fbi had already placed him on a no-fly list. ding home to pakistan via dubai, authorities ordered the plane back to the terminal and apprehended shahzad. president obama said justice will be done in this case and americans will not live in fear of terrorism. >> as americans and as a nation, we will not be terrorized. we will not cower in fear. we will not be intimidated. we will be vigilant. we will work together. and we will protect and defend the country we love to ensure a safe and prosperous future for our people. that's what i intend to do as president, and that's what we will do as a nation. >> nbc's michelle franzen is at the courthouse now in new york. michelle, what's the latest regarding shahzad's court appearance here? >> reporter: well, we're expecting this afternoon that he will be arraigned. we don't know for "9lsure. but attorney general eric holder made it clear that he faces charges of active terrorism as well as the attempted use of weapons of mass destruction and explosives charges. this is what he will face on

what the fbi and the nypd did is pull the string on his electronic communications after interviewing the individual who sold shahzad the nissan pathfinder. that was the first big break in the case. once that happened, then they're able to quickly move to the point where through additional phone number checking and between pakistan and here, ultimately led them to shahzad and that's why he's in custody today. >> and how did we stop him from flying away? how did we catch him on the plane? who gets responsibility for catching him? >> the last line of defense there was the department of homeland security. it was the customs and border police. they were the ones that picked him up. i think there's going to be some discussion about how did he get from the fbi monitoring him, surveying him, to the point where he ultimately got on the plane. there may have been a disconnect there at some point. but i frankly think some of the discussion we've heard now about how if he got on the emirates plane he would have gotten away, is overblown. that's a flight i have taken a lot. it's a 13-hour nonstop

. >> kroft: art folsom was zazi's lawyer when he began his plea negotiations with the fbi, and he saysis client told them that he wanted to retaliate against the u.s. military for the innocent civilians that had been killed in his native country. did you or anybody ask him, if you had these feelings about the death of innocent civilians in afghanistan, why didn't you just speak out against it? >> folsom: he actually did bring that up. he said that if he just sat there and wrote letters to the editor, who was going to listen to him? but if he walked into a wal-mart with an explosive strapped to him and blew it up, then people were going to pay attention to what it was he had to say. >> kroft: but zazi didn't reach that conclusion all by himself. he had originally gone to pakistan to try and hook up with the taliban to fight american troops in afghanistan, but once there, he was recruited by al qaeda, and they had bigger plans for him. >> folsom: they realized they could do more with him in the united states, and i think that they're probably very good at taking people who already have s

now, what the fbi says is that's right. we had a loose tail on him. we didn't want him to know we were there. that's what happens in the course of these things. sometimes you lose people for a while. for that reason, they say, they had asked customs and border protection to put him on a separate thing. this is not the no-fly list. it's a separate deal. a border watch list. frankly they were concerned he would get in his car and drive to canada. they wanted to make sure he was stopped at the border. that same list the same the cdp, customs and border patrol folks were looking at on every outbound flight, had started doing that at 11:00 monday morning. they noticed he was on united emirates airlines flight to dubai. that's why they pulled him off the plane. it's not the no-fly list as such. it's a separate deal. >> pete williams our justice correspondent today. >>> there's an active organization overseas in faisal shahzad's pakistan, dozens of people there rounded up, including several relatives of faisal. foreign correspondent richard engel there from i
