. >> we walked into a refugee camp in western pakistan in spring of 2009 and there were hundreds of pakistani men, refugees, milling around, waiting for food distribution and increasingly agitated. [ speaking foreign language ] >> and they wanted to tell their story. they wanted us hear what they had to say and they were furious that the camp administrators, whom they accused of stealing the very aid, food aid, that they were supposed to be distributing, were charging money for it. those were allegations that i could never really confirm. it was a dangerous atmosphere. and you can see how it can leave these people living in these conditions for longer periods, they will become breeding grounds for all sorts of problems, from crime to insurgencies. they could become recruiting grounds. >> because of the terrible chn conditions here the children are developing conditions that are difficult to treatment. >> some kind of allergic skin reaction that's gone chronic, it's been there a month. >> i've never seen anything like the scenes i've witnessed in refugee camps and sometimes it was so overwhelm

want to draw your viewers' attention to the remarkably important events of the last week in western pakistanparent death of baitullah mehsud. one of the top three or four people in the world plotting terrorism and probably directly involved in benazir bhutto's assassination this is really good news. but the most important event going on right now is the elections. and these are remarkable things and we're -- and we're very interested in how they are proceeding. >> how much of a problem would a contested election be? if one of the candidates doesn't get 50% which leads to a runoff, the election is contested and we see opinions rising on both sides, how much of a problem could that be for a country in the fragile state that afghanistan is? >> i'm not going to predict what's going to happen and give you scenarios of what we do under certain contingencies or otherwise. this is extraordinary. a contested election, the first in afghanistan's long history. in war-time conditions, but they are running it themselves, and they -- there are all sorts of outcomes here. i'm sure it isn't going to be easy

stops airstrikes in western pakistan, and international troops leave afghanistan. u.s.says it will not negotiate with the taliban. and instead has vowed to use all available resources to find the missing soldier. the taliban did not declare a timeline regarding a response from the u.s. government, nor did they release any information proving he is still alive though intelligence officials do believe he's still alive, and they are hopeful they'll find him soon. gregg? >> gregg: connor powell, thanks very much in kabul, afghanistan. now, to new evidence, that the top taliban leader's death, the white house national security advisor, james jones saying today, the united states is nearly certain that taliban boss baitullah mehsud is dead after an airstrike and now there is a leadership struggle, a violent one within the terrorist group itself. >> chris: is baitullah mehsud, the leader of the taliban inside pakistan, dead. >> we think so. the pakistani government has believed -- believes that he is, and all evidence that we have suggests that. but, there are reports from the

that the pakistani people seem to have given to their government in terms of the activities in western pakistan in the fatah and the northwest frontier province. there seems to be more than any of us would have expected six months ago. broad political support for what the pakistani military is doing. i think that this change of attitude and the success of the pakistani forces clearly serves our interests as well as it serves the interests of the pakistanis. my hope is that over time, we will be able to demonstrate to them that we are a reliable ally that they can count on for the long-term. over the next six or eight months, one of the places i am looking into going back to is pakistan. it has been a while. admiral mullen has developed a good relationship with the general and he has made something like a dozen or 13 visits to pakistan over the past 15 months. but it probably is time for me to return. >> [inaudible] their concerns about the federal government of president karzai. al qaeda is still coming back in the government is not doing much. >> the only thing i would say is that -- is what a

when the refugee crisis hit in western pakistan, we had all the agencies involved in that in our officese were able to assemble them immediately, that day, in about an hour and half coming up with a notional plan. that day, and hillary clinton was giving a speech at the nyu commencement address. she called us up and asked us what we were doing about this. she said she wanted to meet with us as soon as she landed. but the time she landed and had finished the hours meeting with this team, we had come up with the first $110 million, which hillary then announced at the white house. john can tell you, having been chief of staff, that probably accelerated the response by a week to 10 days. that is the value of this concept. each person here ties into their home agency. mary beth good men, who vali mentioned, it is an indispensable economic expert. an example of that, when we want to start with, is otto gonzales. although we try not to talk about which agency is the home agency, he is from the department of agriculture, served in afghanistan, is part of a totally integrated aid-usda team that w

. >> thank you, this illustrates what he called the best [unintelligible] when this hit in western pakistan, the different agencies were involved in the offices. immediately that day in and come up with a plan. hillary clinton was in new york and giving a speech at nyu. she called and said water you doing about this. we said we were meeting right now. she said i want to meet with you as soon as i land. by the time she landed and finished a meeting, we have come up with the first hundred and $10 million. she then announced that at the white house. that probably accelerated the response by a week or 10 days. that is the value of this concept. each person here ties into their agency. mary beth good meman was in the front row as an economic expert. an example of that is auto gonzales. we try not to talk about which agency is their home agency, he is from the department of agriculture. he served in afghanistan. he is part of a totally integrated team. it works for us in agriculture. >> thank you. as many of you know, afghanistan has eight out of some people involved in agriculture. it is a secto

tactics against american soldiers across-the-board never afghanistan and he targeted western facilities in pakistanand by seeking to destabilize pakistan he was judged by the united states government to be working against american interests for all those reasons he was seen as an enemy of the united states. but his collaborations with al qaeda i think the ambassador said it well, were peculiar to his region and to the relationship between his tribe and uzbeq and some other arab elements of al qaeda. we're not clear, i'm not clear anyway, on how close he was to the senior leadership of al qaeda to osama bin laden and others. he clearly could lab waited with some parts of the organization but there are other islamist leaders along that border who also have ties to al qaeda and who are only his allies, not his subordinates. >> i have to ask you about persistent reports that though your government has publicly complained about the cia drone attacks on pakistani territory, that, in fact, your government actually urged the u.s. government to add pasoud essentially to its target list, not just to go after

that the pakistani people seem to have given to their government in terms of the activities in western pakistan. there there seems to be more combat than any one of us would have expected a broad political support for what the pakistani military is doing in the west. i think this change of attitude and the success of the pakistani forces clearly serves our interests, as well as it serves the interest of the pakistani people. my hope is that over time we will be able to demonstrate to the pakistani people that we are a reliable ally that they can count on for the long-term. as i look at my travel schedule over the next six or eight months, one of the places that i am thinking about going is back to pakistan because that has been awhile. admiral when has developed a good relationship and has made a dozen trips over the past 15 months. it probably is time for me to return. >> [inaudible] >> the only thing i would say is that is what the admiral has testified with and that is we are comfortable with the level of security. >> you have called for 22,000 increase in the army, but that will take time.

>> benazir was western educated, she represented a modern vision of pakistan. she was very pro-western. everything she was massoud hated. and he saw her as probably the most serious enemy to his vision of what pakistan should be. and now, of course, her husband, preside is in power. i'm sure for him this represent a great measure of closure. >> thank you for your expertise this morning. we do appreciate it. >> thank you. >>> now it's time to turn to david with a look at other stories making headlines. priya, good morning. >> good morning to you. the health care reform debate has taken an ugly turn. north carolina congressman brad miller has receivequote, instigate town halls so they can show up and disrupt them. >>> funerals are scheduled today for the three women gunned down by george sodini at a pittsburgh health club. the services follow a prayer vigil friday. nine others were injured in tuesday's attack when sodini open fire in a dance class before killing himself. in our next hour we'll have an exclusive interview with one of the survivors of the shooting s

it used to be only afghanistan, but now the western third of pakistan has now become the feeder of operationsit is much more difficult now than it was in 2001. host: a democrat, pearl, you are on the air. caller: yes, mr. michael scheuer, i have watched your analysis over years and have figured you for one of the good guys. i was really shocked, though, when you made the comments on fox news. it was something about calling for bin laden or al qaeda to attack america to get our attention so we would be continued to be committed to the terrorist issue. mark my words, we are very committed. it is just that the hysteria we have been put through for the last eight years have not produced much unity among us, actually. i really was saddened to see how overwrought you were. were you feeling like we were not committed any more? honestly, i feel that we as a country are, but we have to get out of this post traumatic stress we all experienced on 9/11 and really be more thoughtful. i recognize your expertise, but i was saddened to see how overwrought you were on fox news. please comment. guest: sure, i

. >> the question being asked by western intelligence agents is who is the new boss of pakistan's talibany, for the first time, since an attack by a u.s. predator on august 5, the taliban spokesman finally confirmed that masoud, the man who ordered benazir bhutto assassinated was killed in that predator strike on august 5. they were buying time to choose a successor. two rival commanders were chosen. one of them is shown here, haka masoud, a hot headed 29-year-old responsible for manning to attack the australian high commission in islamabad last year. pakistani intelligence services say they believe he was killed by his rival last week, positioning himself for control, raman issued this warning. >> obama is our number one enemy. we are out to fight against him. for us, death is more lovable than life and for us, the taliban, it's not difficult to reach anywhere, whether it is washington, london, paris or kabul, we will prove that we can reach their places. >> pakistani and western intelligence officials worry that means the new leader may order a high-profile bombing or attack like this s

pakistan disintegrating. the north west frontier province along the afghan border, and the western province that borders afghanistan and iraq, most of those problemss are virtually on governed, there's no governance whatsoever, some form of rebellion or criminal gangs controlling all of the rural areas. that is a pretty scary situation, that is more than half of pakistan's land area. that is the biggest worry now. >> i am wondering what the involvement of the pakistan government is, if you are falling 30 trails. >> that is another aspect of this story, which is that it is quite clear, i trace this in my book in the history chapters through the present, it has been very clear, we often talk about drug corruption in the afghan government, but the pakistani government has been just as corrupted by the drug trade, and nobody more than them. it was very well-known in the days of the soviet resistance officers were profiting off of the drug trade. that was believed to continue when the taliban in power. many believe it still goes on today. i was showing u.s. and british intelligence document indicating the station chief

pakistan. one of them is this man. he was supposed to share power with another taliban faction leader. we understand from western and pakistani intelligence officials that he might have been killed by his rival. right now, western intelligence officials are trying to exploit the division in the taliban. >shepard: we are reporting that he wants to have some high- profile attacks. do we have any idea what or where? >> he has made a statement in recent days to say that president obama is their number one enemy. high-profile attacks like the marriott bombing, he is threatening attacks like this according to western intelligence officials. he wants to rally his followers. shepard: jennifer, thank you. the government reports that the cash for clunkers program generated nearly 700,000 car sales. the program offered rebates of up to $4,500 for consumers that traded in gas guzzlers. it ended on monday. the transportation department reports that japanese makers did slightly better than their counterparts. toyota, on that, and nissan -- honda, nissan accounted for 41% of sales. this compares to 39% for general motors, ford

western. am i wrong? >> some elements in the military might well be sympathetic to extremists. on the other hand, the military in pakistan are the best organized and in many respects the most difficult -- disciplined group, and if i had to bet between the military and other security forces, i would rely more on the military, but there are elements in the military that have been encouraging to the taliban, especially inside of one area. greta: and i guess the other thing that sort of alarms me is that there is a history in pakistan. you have got a.q. khan, who is the father of nuclear technology in pakistan, who was arrested, confessed to being essentially the wal-mart of nuclear technology to iran, libya, and north korea, and then he got, after confessing, he gets hardened by the -- pardoned by the president musharraf, and even now, he has been released, so the political structure seems to look the other way. >> what you say is absolutely true, but we have two challenges in pakistan. one is the challenge you described. the second is the importance that pakistan has in the fight in afghanistan, and what we're trying to do

western, a pro-american situation. we made a mistake and forcing him out of office. i think a lot of people in pakistanerstand that. it is a divided country. we are in a desperate struggle. greta: the country is divided. they do not all want to work with us. some are almost our enemies. >> particularly those areas that have been funded by radical islamist group -- outside pakistan. it is the older population that had more contact with the west, especially in the military. it is not something we can give up on. if we lose to pakistan and they get control, are concerned about a run for the iran getting weapons will look terrible. credigreta: thank you. tomorrow, a check out our fox news special. 40 years ago, a blow that happened in l.a. that shocked the entire world. we take you inside the gruesome murder. seven dead bodies in a suspect. but it was a copycat murder. there is no way of connecting it. they did not know each other. >> they conducted autopsies on victims. >> it is the only time i walked out [unintelligible] he cut the stomach open and removed the baby. i had chills coming out my spine. i tu

western imperial domination. a a polite term for it is bringing stability and peace. that is what is happening now in af-pak, afghanistan and pakistans the region is now called, obama is building enormous new embassies and other facilities on the model of the city within a city in baghdad. these are like no embassies anywhere in the world. and, they are signs of an intention to be there for a long time. right now in iraq, something interesting is happening. obama's pressing iraqi government not to permit their referenda that is required by the status of forces agreement. that is an agreement that was forced down the throats of the bush administration and which had to formally renounce its primary warnings in the face of massive iraqis resistance. the washington's current objection to the referendum was explained to days ago by "new york times" correspondent, mullahs aruban. obama fears that the iraqi population might reject the provision that delays u.s. troop withdrawal to 2012. they might insist on immediate departure of u.s. forces. iraqi analysts in london-- [applause] the head of the iraqi foundation for democracy and developme

western, pro-american parts of the pack tan stanny military to work with us. i think we made a mistake in forcing president musharraf out of office, and i think a lot of people in pakistanerstand that now. this is a divided country. it's not entirely against us. but we are in a desperate and really end-game struggle here. greta: that is not the important part. the country is divided. they don't all want to work with us. some are completely -- they're almost our enemies. >> some are, particularly those areas that have been funded by radical islamists from outside of pakistan and these people who have turned out a young generation of radicals, really, it's many of the older population that had more contact with the west, especially in the military, who are more likely to be on our side. but it's not something we can give up on. if we lose in pakistan and they get control of that nuclear arsenal, our concern about iran getting nuclear weapons will look small by comparison. greta: terrifying. terrifying. >> exactly. greta: ambassador, thank you. sir. a special programming note tomorrow night at 10:00 p.m. eastern, check out our fox news special, "summer of evil, the manson
