after that day is something would have been i would write it up and send it to "the washington post" and a lot of times they would run it. so i was lucky one is that i found out i could write. this book never would have happened if my car did not catch on fire. but the real reason is during those years was writing the articles things at walter reed was starting to get hot working in the ntt's section in the beginning your seeing patients who have lost their legs and then the injury start to get worse and worse with a triple and duties for those who lost tour three limbs there went from being below the knees and elbows to above the knees and the fis won ashley thighs in the armpits soldiers were losing their legs at the groin and partial public imputations. -- pelvic by the time it closed those coming in were double or triple in duties and we had rehabilitated three men that lost all four of their limbs. but i was lucky because i stumbled into a hobby that forced me to look for the funny and all of my co-workers had something that we did in the evening whether excessively baking pound

>> i recently saw a "washington post" article -- i've recently saw a "washington post" article that goeslebrations, but i didn't see news reports at the time. i did get reports from the police. >> tom, you were reporting. >> there is no authenticity to that based on what mayors in new jersey saw, what police chiefs saw, what people on the streets saw. no one has come forward and said there were thousands and thousands of people cheering. you also have to remember there was a whole other school. this was a jewish conspiracy, that this was all arranged by israel and the jews. no one picked up on that because it wasn't true. so, you know, i can't believe that he has stayed with it as long as he has when there is no hard evidence of it occurring at all. >> i mean, the reality is, the night of september 11, i said to the people of new york, you should not assign group blame here, otherwise we're going to be like they are. i want us to be a model. i didn't just rest on that. i took the police and made it part of the program, and we tracked it for a month. we had no serious incidents either way

so, i was surprised to get a phone call the next day by a reporter from the "washington post" and he told me that he had been assigned that article and that he was going to be writing an article about her clinic and i was so mad when i heard that. i was just fuming at the end of the line and he was asking me questions and i could tell by his questions that the article he was going to write was going to misrepresent us. he seemed to be hunting for a really grotesque shocking story involving the most badly injured patients. and i knew he didn't get it. because our clinic, you know, we saw really devastating injuries at walter reed, but we were neve

trump, i have a story in "the washington post." "washington post"? "washington post"? how good is that? right? that's good. because they do us no favors. in jersey city, within hours of two jet liners plowing into the world trade center, law enforcement authorities detained and questioned a number of people who were allegedly seen celebrating the attacks and holding tailgate-style -- tailgate, you know what that means? tailgate. that means football games, ohio state, thousands of people, in parking lots, on roofs, tailgate is a lot of people. tailgate is not two people. and holding tailgate-style parties, on rooftops, while they watched the devastation on the other side of the river. >> so then his story gets bigger. yesterday in nevada, when trump's fellow front-runner ben carson was asked about those celebrations in new jersey on 9/11, he, too, said he had seen the footage. >> -- were american muslims in new jersey cheering on 9/11 when the towers fell? did you hear about that? or see that? >> yes. >> yes? can you expand on that? >> well, you know, there are going to

"the washington post," very forward leaning, he's dead. i don't know how they know that, but i would love to and there's a lot of people in this country are hoping "the washington post" >> one of the things that's so striking, striking, both about "the washington post" claim that he was dead, but also about the french police claims that he was the target, that they believed he was there and that's why they launched that raid, is because i think it was widely assumed or at least widely stated that he was believed to be in syria. was that -- was that an assumption or was there good reason to believe that he was in syria or at least not in europe at the time of the attacks. ? >> the assumption was, as far as we understand, and we don't really know what the french know. and frankly, it would be kind of a good ploy for the french to say, they though he was in france. oh, well, he's deep in syria, we're not on to him. but from what we know, they really did think that he was in syria. isis propaganda showed him in syria, dragging bodies. you put

i was spending more time at home and i was at home one night and i was reading the washington post and they had an article about local eyesores. at the end of the article was a query, do you know of a local eyesore? if you do, let us know and we will send a reporter out. and i thought well, yeah i know local eyesore. it's parked out back. so i figured i will just write it up myself, i wrote up the story about my car and i sent it into the post. i went i went out for a walk and when i came back there is a message on my machine from the editor of that section and said that he loved my article and he said if i ever had anything else he would like to send him just to go ahead and send it in. then he added, especially if it is about public transportation. i guess he he figured, here is someone who is taking the bus. after that day, for the next three or four years whenever something funny what happened to me i would write it up and i would send it to the washington post. a lot of times they would run it and so i was really lucky. i was lucky for two reasons, one is i found out that i could

not by the "washington post," not by the associated press. they all conducted investigations to try to figure out what, if anything, happened. there was even a report, carol, about a federal investigator going to look, because there were rumors going around this had happened. they couldn't substantiate it. let's keep in mind, donald trump has a curious relationship to the truth. he's never renounced all of the things he spouted years ago and said other things that are plainly false. things like, john mccain wasn't a war hero. three years in captivity and so forth. so donald trump is not dealing in facts the way candidates normally do. he sort of gets away with murder, so to speak. any other serious candidate, front runner for a nomination, anybody as sort of key to the whole process as he has, because of the position he holds in the polls, would be held to serious account. i think all we can do is put forward that this is yet another case where he is saying something we know is not true. >> general, in the military, you deal in facts, correct

and joining us now with the thanks to this new incredible reporting in "the washington post." taken inside the isis propaganda effort. mr. miller congratulations on this reporting. it was eye-opening. what construction me as most surprising was the degree to which isis privileges the actual people who do the video production, who do the propaganda for them within their own organization, giving them power, status, money. what construction you as most surprising based on sort of how you went into this versus what you learn? >> i think the extent to how pervasive it is and choreographed, even public events are inside the caliphate, and so i mean the description that we include of the story is a public beheading that's a punishment, internal punishment in which these camera crews show up with cue cards to hold up for this public official to read while he's rendering this sentence for this condemned man. then doing multiple takes asking the executioner to raise and lower his sword over and over again so they can get the right angle. the depth and extent to which things are designed

in today's editorial, "the washington post" said mr.ads the lie that thousands of american muslims openly celebrated the 2001 attacks on the world trade center. in fact, there were no such celebrations. donald trump lies because he knows he can get away with it. the most impolite candidate in american history relien s on the politeness of his interviews to get away with lying. >> it did happen. i saw it. >> you saw that with your own eyes? >> george, it did happen. there were people cheer on the other side of new jersey where you have large arab populations. they were cheering as the world trade center came down. i know it might be not politically correct for you to talk about it, but there were people cheering as that building came down, as those buildings came down. and that tells you something. it was well covered at the time, george. now, i know they don't like to talk about it. but it was well covered at the time. there were heavy arab populations in new jersey cheering as the building kams down. not good. >> as i said, the police

it is the job of the media to scrutinize the presidential candidates and today the "washington post" you have marco rubio and the messy federal statements this is what the media's job has to be but they got to get the facts right. >> on that point cnn has a couple of reporters interview old friends and classmates to find out if they could find anyone who knows anything abut the supposedly violent incidents when he was 14 and 15. is that a witch hunt? >> again, the media has to do their job but if the stories were 50 years ago, with that being said they went to the campaign, asked for the names and i am say this is a shoestring campaign. they are focused on organizing in iowa and new hampshire and do not want to have to deal with giving engages out. >> i don't think beck has any obligation to help reporters do their job but at the same time cnn did not say ben carson lied but they said we were not able to find anyone who could substantiate. but isn't this kind of an unside down situation? here you have cnn saying our reporting suggests he is nice and quiet and the candidate said, no,
