zarate: let me ask this one. what if any effort will be made to collect more intel money laundering? director pompeo: always more to do. on with our partners at the treasury and other places, too. it will continue to be important. there is always a cyber element and a banking comment to this and almost human -- as well as human intelligence, so you can get to that electronic solution. it is critical that we get that right so that we can track the money flow around the world as well. as a result of that make good decisions about networks, about sanctions and all of the other tools that the president has. mr. zarate: let me combine a couple more of these questions. the ideology of radical islam, the first question is is there a clear strategy for dismantling the ideas of radical islam is the question. and what can the cia do to mitigate recruitment of americans online to commit terrorist acts? director pompeo: i don't have much to say about the first one. it is certainly an aura but not at the center of the mission
