Interrogation team headed by you, mr. rodriguez, used enhanced interrogation techniques, zubada stopped cooperating. >> well, ali was not there when we started to use enhanced interrogation techniques. >> bill: lets walk through it zufan says that the fbi got the information about khalid sheikh mohammed not the cia. true or false? >> the only two things that he got. the one thing that he got was that khalid sheikh mohammed was muktar that was the name he had used. even the story about jose padil...

To dubai, authorities there would have held on to him and made him available to the u.s. but im just guessing. >> i would agree. this has been a good story so far and weve had other arrests of foreign nationals who were trying to attack both inside the american homeland and abroad. jihad jane comes to mind but there were also two others. zazi and david headily who was casing targets abroad. >> another pakistani-american. >> let me just say one other thing about miranda rights because now the cha...

We dont know his connection to these groups, but what about joe lieberman proposing we revoke the citizenship, the statute o books gives us adequate ability to revoke citizenship if proved guilty. i think the idea of revoking it before charged makes no sense. lets understand there is a public safety exception to miranda warnings. it was envoeked by the very talented interrogation team and then sometime later, i dont know the time period, he waived his rights and continued to talk.

Interrogation team and he was cooperative and at some point we dont know precisely when he was read his miranda rights and hes still cooperating, so i would view it as another success of applying the rule of law. >> weve got to leave it there. fran townsend, our homeland security analyst and contributor and jane harman, thank you very much. from connecticut to times square, mary snow is in the terror suspects neighborhood. shes digging into his background and shell tell all of us what she has ...

Interrogation team, and we will extract intelligence from them about what they know about the enemy activities and not read them their miranda rights. this is absurd, capturing a terrorist who tried to blow up an air airliner and reading them their rights. they should be held by our military intelligence organizations, questioned about what they know, then you decide where to prosecute. so under my statute if we caught the guy alive tomorrow, we would give him to the military to be interrogated ...

Article three courts. but what i would have done differently is when you catch a guy right off the airplane, you turn him over to the high value interrogation team. they talk to the agency in the government to make sure were getting good information and good questions to ask this guy and after a reasonable period of time, let the department of justice set protocols determine whether you go into a civilian court or a military court. and when you come to ka leak sheikh month hhamedmohamed, he mast...

Guilty plea and im glad the guy is in jail, but what ive been pushing for, chuck, is a legal system that realizes were at war and all the actors are not the same. theres a place for civilian trials. but i want a legal system where you dont have to read the terrorist his rights when theyre caught, not use the law enforcement model, get good intelligence and make a intelgz decision about whether you go to military commission. so in the future when you catch a guy like this, i dont want him to have...

Have a-- appears to want to have a fight with congress. the president needs to set his direction. does he want cooperation or does he want national, you know, national security to become a partisan issue. >> but john brennan says by telling you that abdulmutallab was in fbi custody that that implies that he would be mirandized and that you never raised any concerns. >> well, thats what he says he implies. the high value interrogation team was going-- is going to be led by the fbi and the fbi at ...

Abdulmutallab, the christmas day underwear bomber was in custody and you were fine with it, you never raised any issues about conscious of him being mirandized or getting any sorts of rights. >> its accurate that i talked to john brennan briefly on christmas night and gave a brief description of exactly what happened on the airplane, that this person had been taken into custody and that he was being questioned. john brennan never brought up about how we were going to be moving forward and those ...

>> john wells, he is cia agent, hes also muslim. in the first book he has converted to islam. thats the only thing he has found. he has this tension as an american loyal to the united states, but he believes in islam. and hes a pretty loyal guy. on the one hand hes disgusted by what he sees. but he knows the darkness of the world as well as anyone. he knows if we dont fight, things could get inworse. megyn: the book opens up with former members of this interrogation team being assassinated. one ...
