that's what the united nations, or that's what the oic, organization of islamic cooperation, is working for, is to ensure that all member nations come under this and it restricts free speech. any disparagement of islam or the prophet muhammad would be considered hate speech. >> all right. let's talk about the fact, general, that, you know, as this is happening, and i just spoke with congressman perry about this, as we see the movement west from the middle east, and you say you can rest assured it's going to happen to us, we've got a president who is seeking to have congress limit his authority to go after what is clearly a global threat. >> that's exactly right. i think the congressman was very articulate on this issue. this is a global network of jihadists. this is a global network of radical islamists that are motivated by their theology and they -- it doesn't come just in one form or shape or color. it's not just isis. you have a network that is all motivated by the same thing and we need to have the ability and a strategy, judge, to go after them wherever we find them regardless of

dozens more innocent people to death while iraq's ambassador to the united nations is now accusing of the terrorists of harvesting organs from their freshly killed victims. i want to go to jim sciutto. cnn has not been able to independently verify these claims. what are u.s. officials saying are these outrageous claims true? >> let's talk about the burned bodies in the town of al baghdadi. the first reports raise the possibility that those soldiers had been burned alive. soldiers or civilians which brought back horrible memories of the jordanian pilot. i read situational reports from the ground written by iraqis involved in the fighting who say it is more likely the bodies were burned after they were killed in the fighting desecrated which is a tactic isis has used before. that said this is in the midst of fierce fighting for the town of al baghdadi. it is in anbar province very close the a u.s. base there. no one involved would be surprised what isis is capable of as it continues to fight for this city. with isis locked in battle with iraqi forces in al baghdadi eyewitness accounts from the western iraqi town claim the

when you have a refugee camp, you've got united nations people non-governmental organizations, churchkers, aid workers similar to the young lady we are worried about in syria right now. so and as the congressman says this is very doable. especially in the northern part of jordan because you've got a lot of sympathizers for isis in jordan and that border is very very porous. so i am very concerned about people that i know that are working in jordan right now. >> and congressman, even if it's not isis direct doing it, we've seen in other kidnapping cases as we talked about before the break, other groups or individuals taking people and then selling them to another group. >> well absolutely. it is a cash business and we should make no mistake about it. it could be an al qaeda affiliate. el nusra or a criminal enterprise that understands their value is a cash proposition. they take a westerner, bring him back into syria and they know that groups like isis will pay for these hostages. they've made it known. that is what makes it so dangerous. you're not just looking for isil people crossin

what we heard from the iraq prime minister that he reinrated the call by the united nations cultural organizationr an emergency meeting to discuss how these -- this heritage can be protected. keep in mind that the area of iraq is under control of isis contains between 800 registered historical sites that we know are being lewded by isis. >> and there's concern that they could sell some of these. they will sell them on the black market. they're so good at financing. >> yeah, we understand that it's not a question of what they could do, but what they are doing. we understand from sources in mosul that many of the videos that you do not seen have been sold on the black market and that's booming at the moment when you take into account that an instability all over the region and not just here but in syria and egypt and elsewhere. >> ben, we appreciate it this morning. thank you. >>> so it's the weekend and e you know what that means? there's a winter storm advisory to know about. >>> also the latest house to house shooting rampage that ended with seven people shot to death in a quiet south east misso

charlie: the organizing idea should come from the united nations? mr. shoukry: the united nations is a very appropriate platform. it has the representation of the international community, and if it can provide the legitimacy of international community to activities, it has proven to be always more effective. charlie: if in fact -- and when you look at the reality of it, when you look at libya, you lost 22 of your citizens who work coptic christians, why do you think they are doing it? what is the advantage, what is the positive consequence for isil to execute 22 egyptian coptic christians in libya? what is the advantage for them to burn alive a jordanian pilot? what do they get out of it? mr. shoukry: that's the fundamental nature of terror, to attract attention and to provide an image that is so destabilizing, and so dramatic that it forces those that are opposing it into a form of submission. charlie: it creates fear. mr. shoukry: and it is very regrettable that after these two incidents, i read somewhere that recruiting has increased. the attention t

so i took that matter up with the united nations and the american administration and they set up an organization suggested the men who should operate it. and these were the men who had operated in europe in world war ii and world war i. and they're still operating until this day. so far as i know they looked after nearly 50 million children in the last five years. >> as you were speaking there of child welfare and child relief work, mr. hoover my mind went back to a rather notable statement that you made on the subject. as i recall, it was back in 1930 when you were president, and i believe you had summoned a child welfare council at that time. i think it's in here in this book. i'm wondering if it wouldn't be appropriate for you to tell us about it at this time. >> i can read it to you if that's telling you about it. >> all right, sir. >> that statement has been republished many times and is rather an old statement of the american people, i'm afraid.

-- "religious cleansely," there can be no doubt that this organization poses a clear and present danger to the national security of the united states and to our allies. not only in the middle east but throughout the world. accordingly, we must fight and defeat this dangerous terrorist organization. madam president, it is therefore, incumbent upon us as legislators to ensure that we provide all the tools necessary for defeating the enemy. personally i agree with the obama administration's previous determination that the president has ample powers to conduct operations against the islamic state under article 2 of the constitution as well as the existing authorizations for the use of military force passed by congress in 2001 against al qaeda and the taliban and in 2002 for iraq. nevertheless i agree with the president that congress should authorize the use of force against the islamic state. not only to put to rest any legal questions about the president's power to use force but also to demonstrate to the world america's resolve in this fight against terror. madam president, if we are to pass a new authorization for the use of
