the pentagon wouldn't talk, and directed us instead to the us state dept. >> i think we've been very, very clear that we condemn all violence. and the president was clear as well that business as usual can not continue with egypt when people are being killed on the streets. >> right. but there was a defense contract of 13.7 million dollars that was awarded to egypt on august 12th. [talking over each other]. >> i'm not familiar with that. >> the same day you said at the press briefing that the us was very deeply concerned about the potential for violence. what's the rationale in awarding this contract on the very same day that you're saying that you're very concerned about violence? >> well, the first point is i don't have the details of that contract in front of me actually, i can't confirm that, so i'm not going to respond to something that i don't have the details on... >> [talking over]: the state department and the pentagon are working at odds with each other? >> not at all. i also can't speak for the pentagon. so again, i'm not familiar with that specific contract you're referrin

it's backed up by commitments from the pentagon to keep the military aid flowing. >> i'm on the department of defense website doing a search for contracts meant for egypt. it looks like there were at least three large contracts that were awarded to raytheon, general electric and bae systems in july and august. that's right after the coup. the pentagon wouldn't talk, and directed us instead to the us state dept. >> i think we've been very, very clear that we condemn all violence. and the president was clear as well that business as usual can not continue with egypt when people are being killed on the streets. >> right. but there was a defense contract of 13.7 million dollars that was

>> at the pentagon. they have brought them back to work. the pentagon isn't totally autonomous. partment. i think the justice department attorneys were interpreting it differently. i think that's probably the ones that muddied this up. >> would you be comfortable if that is in fact the solution here for the pentagon to contract out to the fisher house to make sure that these death benefits are paid without this legislation going to the senate? you know what's going on. senate democrats would prefer not to do this. they would prefer the pentagon handle it on its own because it's a slippery slope for senate democrats. >> you know, when we passed the pay the troops act, the senate took care of it. we voted just like this one, unanimously, sent it to the senate, and they passed it. if they don't want to deal with it, if they don't want to take care of the survivors of those who pay the ultimate price, shame on them. i think they should take it up this afternoon, have it on the president's desk tomorrow. and not have any hijinx. we shouldn't be treating our military like this. >> but

now, i understand that some in the pentagon started this program with good intentions. their thinking may have been that the afghans already had some of these helicopters in the process of standing up their capability to defend themselves. they ought to have a few more. and then they transitioned to a more capable helicopter. and i've heard from our generals that we need these helicopters because the afghans know how to fly them. but the facts of the fact are that this program was never designed to be sustainable after we leave afghanistan. and my hope is we will leave afghanistan sooner rather than later. there is simply no transition place now or in the foreseeable future to buy american, to train those afghan pilots how to ply american helicopters, how to maintain american helicopters. and when the russians forced us to procure the helicopters from them directly rather than excess helicopters from countries like the czech republic, we should have made a course correction immediately, even if we thought those kinds of helicopters were necessary in the short term, there

but we begin with national security correspondent jennifer griffin at the pentagon. >> good evening, nnifer. >> good evening, bret. after two days of political gripping the congress scrambled to make a resolution to make things right. >> reporter: they paid the ultimate sacrifice for the nation and their families were paid the ultimate insult. denied the $100,000 in death benefits and paid travel to dover air force base to meet their next of kin due to the partial government shutdown. sergeant joseph parts, first lieutenant jennifer marino, sergeant patrick hawkins and private first class codey patterson returned home from afghanistan. friends of sergeant peters who left behind a wife and 20-month-old son expressed concern. >> people lose their life. people losing their sons and daughters. their husbands, their wives. >> they have family waiting that need help. >> reporter: on the eve the shutdown, the president signed the way on military families act. they thought that law gave the pentagon the authority it needed to pay benefits. >> it's disgraceful that they're withholding these be

knows the pentagon's response to complaints from iraq about depleted uranium attacks they wanted to go away because we kicked out of them but that doesn't explain the common dreams nuisance of the shocking numbers of u.s. vets affected six hundred ninety seven thousand u.s. troops in the first gulf war the department of defense now admits nearly two hundred fifty thousand of permanently disabled from the last of just one hundred hours one in three troops to be on treason documentary is a simply incredible figure goes in and. those who was born with most of the missing and other deformities he believes his service in iraq is to blame independent tests on the high levels of du pree to drain him in his body. go into court have received admissions that the disability could only have been caused by two three aides doggerel was put in charge of do you clean up off the operation desert storm the army was well aware of its toxicity he says not only in areas they hit but for anyone working with it in the vicinity of d u or even breathing downwind of uranium particles he says no one was warned o

this time a suspected member of the al qaeda was the target. pentagon confirming the target was abu anas al liby, wanted by the u.s. for more than a decade, with a $5 million bounty on his head. libya is demanding that u.s. provide answers on the capture of that suspect in libya. >> we are joined by jeanne meserve, and what exactly is the u.s. saying about the arrest? >> the pentagon press secretary is saying that abu anas al liby is being lawfully detained under military law at an undisclosed location outside of libya. they are not saying what that location is. right now in washington, democrats are saying democrats and republicans are not agreeing on much. several republican lawmakers have issued statements applauding the operation. collaboration between military organizations. they urge that he be intergated to be exploited fully for what he might know about the al qaeda network. we received a statement from caitlin hayden, the spokesperson from the security council. she indicates that is the case, and says that the president urged when possible that

. >> the senate has just now joined the house, voting to approve the pentagon paying death benefits during the shutdown despite the lack of appropriations. now, will the president sign that legislation? >> well, when did they all know about the benefits freeze? you won't believe what the pentagon had warned days before the shutdown. >>> good day, i'm andrea michelle in washington where speaker boehner is expected to walk into the white house this afternoon with a short-term solution to avoid defaulting on our national debt. but we are still nowhere near a solution to opening the federal government. texas congressman chairs the committee and will be at the white house meeting. thank you, congressman for joining us, mr. chairman, is this a good solution getting around the debt ceiling problem on a short-term basis but leaving the government closed? >> well, what house republicans have asked after putting one offer on the table, two offers on the table, three offers on the table, four offers on the table. i mean, we're not through negotiating, we're just kind of through negotiating with ourse

bill: the pentagon warned this would happen. white house aide may have known for days as well. so when did the president find out. >> reporter: when did the president learn specifically that military death benefits would not be paid. >> again for the third time ... >> i didn't here that. >> when he did learn, he asked -- ed, i don't know specifically. i can tell you when he learned that these benefits were not explicitly dealt with in the para-military act he was very disturbed and he asked for the l and b and his hours to take action. unless you are willing to write the check, ed, it takes some time. it takes some time to. >> reporter: there are people who care about it and want it done quickly. why won't you tell us what date he learned. was it yesterday or the day before? >> when the president found out, he was disturbed and he asks his lawyers and the l & b to work on it and we expect an issue today. >> reporter: nice try. you won't tell us a simple fact when the president learned. >> when he learned about it he asked for a directive -- direct those who work for him to find

the pentagon was warning people. republican colleagues, duncan hunter and others, who say this is an overly narrow interpretation by the controller and the lawyers and the attorney general all the way up to the attorney general, according to the pentagon, that eric holder signed off on this. how can one lawyer say that this was not covered under the other legislation that was passed, the small legislation to fix shutdown problems, and how could the white house have not been aware? >> well, andrea, this is another situation where, you know, our republican colleagues vote to shut down the government. they keep the government shut down by refusing a full vote in the house and say they're shocked that there are these unintended consequences when the administration is trying to enforce the law of the government shutdown. again, the fastest way to remove all these problems would be to have that vote today and get it passed. every day you're going to find more and more unintended consequences. when you shut down the governme

and so lawyers here at the pentagon said our hands are tied. ay these benefits because of the law says we -- it doesn't say we can. so on capitol hill, just a few moments ago we understand that house republicans passed actually it became a by farther san unanimous bill passing to pay these death benefits, the $100,000 to the families. they just passed that but the senate does not plan to act on it the president's spokesman jay carney said today that the president is angry and ordered that this be resolved by the end of today. and now we hear from defense secretary chuck hagel that the solution they have cobbled together is that fisher house private charities going to pay these families. >> shepard: good news. jennifer griffin thanks so much, there is breaking news now on fox news channel. the nypd detective. for that man the arraignment just ended in connection with with this biker beat down that just happened on manhattan's west side highway. the charges, riot, criminal mischief. did he not enter a plea today but bail did get set. they set bail

he showed himself to be loyal representative for him in the pentagon. and so i couldn't imagine you would see much daylight between the two but we'll have to see in terms of what the broader legacy is and many ways depends on what happens. newswise under his tenure, whether there's anything that's unforeseen and that shadows and colors anyone's legacy. >> it's safe to say the legacy of janet napolitano, it's going to be border security and the fact that under this administration, a lot of folks don't realize this, there have been more illegal immigrants deported on an annual basis than any point before. >> right, unfortunately the obama administration does hold -- they are on track for the record number of deportation. i think carrie made an important point. this job, dhs secretary, it is a thankless job in terms of immigration because no matter what he does going forward, he will always face criticism on the right from people saying he is not enforcing immigration laws. no matter what he does going forward, he faces criticism from people on left he's te

and the pentagon is not paying for the families memorial was blocked off this past week. and the pentagon is not paying for the families of the families killed over the weekend to fly to dover for when the remains come back to the united states. yet there is a protest about immigration on the mall? i'm a big fan of the first amendment, but what's going on? are we picking and choosing? >> it's unfair. they should have the right. >> i think we both won a victory to be able to have access to the mall. just goes to show that congress can shut down the government, but they can't shut down the constitution. both of us have a chance to express ourselves on the mall. that's as it should be. >> it's just another one of those in-just things. >> they shouldn't put them first. >> everybody is getting the freedoms that our vets fought for and yet our vets can't get their own freedoms to do things. >> i don't think the veterans should be locked out of their memorials when the other people have free access within five blocks of here. >> i don't think it's fair at all. i don't think it's

the suspect was confirmed by pentagon officials to be abu anas al liby, and he is wanted by the u.s. for more than a decade and has a $5 million reward on his head. kenya is giving a clearer picture of the people who carried out their attack on a mall, releasing security video, showing four men carrying ak 37s. it contradict earlier estimates that 10-15 attackers were involved. kenya say they are able to name all four men. >> nearly all of the workers furloughed during the shutdown are expected to be back on the job this week. >> come back to work. that's the order from the secretary of defence to nearly 400,000 civilian employees worldwide. on saturday chuck hagel announced thanks to a law guaranteeing that u.s. troops will be paid during the shutdown the pentagon can eliminate furloughs for those whose responsibilities relate to the moral of others. some of that relates to the commissaries where military families stretch their dollars. all commissaries have closed and it ruined thousands of families budgets. >> it's ridiculous that you take that away from the people fighting for yo

"two legs came down the chimney into the cold ashes.

johnson is the pentagon's former top lawyer, who spent much of his career dealing with national security issues. both johnson and the president said that experience would serve him well. >> he's been there in the situation room at the table in moments of decision working with leaders from a host of agencies to make sure everyone is rowing in the same direction. >> i love this country, i care about the safety of our people, i believe in public service and i remain loyal to you mr. president. if confirmed by the senate i promise all of my energy, focus and ability toward the task of safeguarding our nation's national and homeland security. >> woodruff: we'll have more on who johnson is and questions likely to come up during his confirmation process, a little later. saudi arabia appeared to reject its newly acquired seat on the u.n. security council today. it accused the 15-member body of failing to resolve international conflicts like the civil war in syria. its foreign ministry issued a statement that said: but u.n. secretary-general ban ki-moon said he's yet to receive official notificat

is the single largest oil contributor to the pentagon the us war machine is heavily reliant upon b.p. and their oil. during the last ten years b.p. has been the single largest energy contractor to the various branches of the u.s. military receiving over seventeen billion dollars in direct contracts for jet and diesel fuel oil is true and b.p. in particular is crucial to the military intelligence and diplomatic complex. on june sixteenth two thousand and ten obama called the meeting at the white house with b.p.'s c.e.o. tony hayward it's managing director bob dudley and its chairman of the board carl and rex van burke the u.s. government took no action against b.p. or its executives instead it agreed that b.p. would simply create the claims fine for victims of the oil spill the people of the goals have my commitment that b.p. will meet its obligations. to them. as publicly pledged to make good on the claims that almost of the people in the gulf i hear coleman sometimes love large oil companies are greedy companies or don't fly. dudley's no three days each week have to the. last. four d

barbara starr is following this from the pentagon. i want to get now to our foreign affairs reporter, elise. she is joining us by phone. listen, let's talk about how sensitive these embassy attacks are, even years later. 1998. you cover this, the state department for years as well. talk to me about that. >> well, i mean, don, 15 years after the attack. i mean, obviously, there will be you know, kind of cheers and a celebration that the master mind of the attack will be brought to justice hopefully, but i think 15 years later, that was really a watershed in terms of you know, kind of terrorist attacks against u.s. embassies abroad. really caused a major investigation or re-examination of u.s. facilities overseas. there have been so many commissions and reports and rebuilding of embassies around the world and you see as nic has been saying, 15 years later, these embassies and consulates are still fragile. on the 15-year anniversary of the attack in august, that's a heightened security concern that u.s. embassies in the arab world and in

republicans accuse the pentagon of not enforcing the spirit of the law. not so pentagon robert hale told congress today. >> during the lapse dod has no legal authority to pay death gratuities. we've been through this with the justice department, general council. it's another section of the law separate from pay and allowances. we don't have the legal authority. i don't think you want us to go around the law. >> the white house avoided directly answering when the president learned about the problem. >> in his evening walk on tuesday, the president raised the concern about death benefits not being paid to deserving families. the president directed him to get create pif and get it solved within 24 hours. >> it's not clear if the president plans to sign the law passed by the senate today. fisher house is still on the hook to pay 29 families. >> live at the pentagon, jennifer, thank you. the obama administration says it will allow states to use their own money to reopen some national parks closed by the shutdown. the top officials of one tennessee community are

at the top of the list of things not working, for now nine days of shutdown, is what the pentagon calls the death gratuity. a $100,000 death payment to families of war dead. they're supposed to receive within three days of the death of their loved one. but that's now held up in political red tape. >> i'm ashamed. i'm embarrassed. all of us should be. >> reporter: since the shutdown began, 17 service members have died. six in afghanistan. the pentagon says, with its workers furloughed, it can't process the paperwork to pay the surviving relatives until after the shutdown is over. >> washington may be shut down. but it's still asking people to go to war. >> reporter: the money is used by families to arrange for funerals, fly to dover to greet anywhere fallen heroes' flag-draped coffins. and as immediate life insurance. >> now because a small group of tea party republicans, we say we can't even take care of your family when you die in the service of the country. >> reporter: but republican speaker of the house, john boehner, says that these death benefits should have been paid. just as mil

the pentagon is not managed well. there are efforts to manage it well. we have all done our best to manage it well, but the bottom line is that it is not managed well. we have too many civil servants and to many contractors. we have an acquisition that is so bad we have set up a new rapid acquisition system to get around our own acquisition system. there is something wrong with that picture. we have defense agencies that are fortune 500 companies that are managed by gs-14's. can you imagine a gs-14 running exxon mobil? or amazon? or frankly, any of the nfl teams except the redskins? [laughter] we have to rethink how we manage budgets. let's face it, even with cuts, we talk about budgets in access of $400 billion a year. that is a lot of money. it has to be spent well. we have too many facilities. congress has to do something about brack. we clearly have to get our arms around health care. $49 billion a year for this year for health care. the actuaries say we can save billions right now. there are things we can do. what we shouldn't do -- and i will reiter

congressman duncan hunter sent this letter to defense secretary chuck hagel blame the pentagon for a careless legal interpretation that resulted in mistakenly denying payments. private charities have stepped forward to cover the families' expenses, and congress is scrambling to reinstate that death benefit. that could solve the problem but not erase the shame. >> pelley: david martin at the pentagon for us. david, thank you. now, let us remind you how we got here. the federal budget had to be reauthorized by october 1. republicans in the house passed a funding bill but they attached a rollback of the president's health care law known as obamacare. neither the president nor the democrats in the senate would stand for that. now, republicans say they will not fund the government until president obama agree tolz budget cuts. mr. obama says he won't talk about the budget until the government is funded. the president had a word for this today. >> we can't make extortion routine as part of our democracy. democracy doesn't function this way. and this is not just for me. it's also for my succe

, we've heard members of congress say is the fact that they are not getting the death benefits the pentagon would usually pay out because of this shutdown. those death benefits include $100,000 that go to the family within three days of losing their family member as well as money to pay for burial expenses and travel expenses. one group that charges veterans has stepped in to pay for these family members to travel to dover to be here for this

the if you are ro low is over for more than 300,000 at the pentagon. defense department lawyers determined that the civilians are exempt from the furlough because they provide support to military workers who are also on the job. >>> it is day seven of the government shutdown, there are new developments at this hour. president obama insists the shutdown could be over if the house would just vote on a bill that has no strings attached. today he openly challenged house speaker john boehner to call that vote. stiv handles man live on capitol hill with new developments. >> good evening. by the way, no house vote is scheduled despite what the president says. and the vote count that the president quoted is really accepted by a lot of people up here but no vote scheduled. the impasse continues, even though a lot of government workers are returning. more than 300,000 civilian defense department employees back on the job at the pentagon. this was scott air force base illinois and macdill in tampa. but as the rep nants of hurricane karen swept east, fema workers c

if they disagree -- >> the pentagon disagrees with that. >> right. if they disagree, we'll work through a mini cr that will take care of the families of these loved ones. >> but the larger point, congressman duffy, these mini crs, mini continuing resolutions, that's the whole question of taking little pieces of the government. the issue is not that this is a small matter, it's a very big matter, but so is the matter of the kids in head start. so is the problem of the single moms who aren't getting food stamps and their help. so down the road are survivors benefits. that fund is going to run out in weeks if not months. so you can't take this piecemeal, congressman. isn't the issue that someone has to sit down and figure out what to do about the stalemate that has led to this disgrace. >> you hit it on the head. the president has said i won't sit at the table. >> no. he said to the speaker today on the phone, according to the white house. >> i won't negotiate. >> he said that he will negotiate and negotiate a lot of things that you all want, tax reform,
