There militarily start to send warnings almost simultaneously about the gates. that can mean theyre the ones with better sensors in the ground in those networks. we have been dealing with isis and al qaeda throughout the middle east. you look at many remnants of isis where theyve gone to, isis-k is one of those locations. they bring in foreign fighters. often times our partners have human intelligence, sit sense that are joining these groups. we have to become more reliant on them. this wouldnt ...

Views. therefore in the waning days as the military presence draws down, i think theres going to be increasing anxiety about potential for follow on isis-k attacks at the gates and points of entry. i know the u.s. military and intelligence officers are doing everything possible to understand whats outside the gates, but again, in waning days, it will be very difficult to ensure safety and security of american personnel and those afghans that are trying to get onto the airport. >> i guess that ra...

Into afghanistan and we dont know if its cash or equipment. we dont know what that would be. what we know their internet is up and running in taliban country. and so all of that is on servers that we dont control. >> i couldnt speak to the security of the encryption and the state department has not said anything to that event. something that is important having spent some time in war zones such as this is we dont have the human intelligence outside of that airport to go and get americans nor to ...

Possibly govern afghanistan in the midst of an emerging humanitarian and economic crisis? and unable to control huge tracks of what is a very -- country. but al qaeda and isis will be difficult to control, and you have to wonder, although president biden talks about the over the horizon capability. you have to wobnder if the lack of human intelligence will make terrorism. >> i want to go to sam kylie in qatar just reporting most recently in kabul from the airport for days. weve just gotten in th...

Humanitarian aircraft exiting afghanistan empty. thats just unacceptable. >> mark, let me ask you about a middle ground, and that is a stand-off forces from a great distance. is it your assumption that we have live eyes on everything between aircraft over-flights, satellite over-flights and drones? will we have good intel on the immediate area surrounding the airport grounds? >> i have no doubt that our technical capabilities are really masterful and able to see a great deal, but something thats...

There is human intelligence connections or signals intelligence it doesnt seem -- is it possible to actually learn the truth, what happened? >> it definitely makes everybodys job harder. but i dont think necessarily impossible. because there are a lot of things we can do, resources available outside of china. there are materials that were submitted for example to scientific journals before the chinese iron curtain went down early last year that could be accessed. there are whistle-blower provisi...

Potential security threats, too. when people see something wrong, when people are crowding in an area. but i worry one thing the u.s. military cant do right now is have human intelligence, eyes on the ground. i actually dont know to what degree we are still able to partner with the nds from the former government, their cia, if you will, and with the commando units and others. these people are trained to get out the same as anybody else. thats where i think the blind spot is. the geography, the p...

Air base, well let you go, get out by the 31st, maybe has no capability to do that. some things to think about, remember when the u.s. took baghdad in 2003. there was a brief lull but it wasnt long after that that u.s. forces couldnt control all of baghdad. they did not have intelligence. you saw insurgencies pop up. i think youll see a similar thing in a lot of afghan cities, taliban have varying degrees of control, understand the networks better, and our contacts or western allies, five eyes p...

Days review by the nations intelligence experts say it is still unclear how the virus started. what does that tell you? >> it doesnt tell us much. this was a very important first step but this review was always a first step. now we need a full investigation to get to the bottom of this. there is a lot of evidence fully available and should be in china but even if the chinese government continues to not participate and prevent any investigation inside of china there are many other resources which...

Deep in the mountains of kandahar. i had been up there. the ravines and gullies and valleys are impossible to navigate. its almost impossible to find these people in the first place in their camps. particularly now, i know there are great things said about the over the horizon capabilities of modern defense forces, but theres no substitute for human intelligence on the ground. thats going to be sorely lacking for the u.s. going forward now. >> is it expected this is the beginning of a potential ...
