Senior security correspondent at "the daily beast" and author of the book "at war" and david, author of "national insecurity: american leadership in an age of fear." shane on that point that richard was just talking about, i found the pushback from the cia very interesting because what they do want to talk about is this context of what the atmosphere was like after 9/11. they also want to talk about whether or not we actually got actionable intelligence from the techniques. but i dont see a lot ...

We are learning details about bowe bergdahl. the washington post obtained his handwritten journal and other writings. the associated press found his facebook page. both show a young man who wrote about a struggle to maintain a kind of mental equilibrium. clearly, what was going on in his life and going on at war was disturbing to him and we also learned that before joining the army he was discharged from the coast guard uncharacterized, but discharged from the coast guard and they would not conf...

The invasion of iraq i think is still with us and lingers. >> its overwhelming. >> it is overwhelming and the fact that case was so flawed, so false, and the american people have become so cynical about any case for war in that region or case for action, because this is not iraq. lets be honest. this is a lot more like the case like kosovo in the 1990s than iraq. however, the distorting effect of iraq and the dampening effect its had on americans since adventurism and not want to go get involved...

Indiscreet about your wisdom and your age. but you have witnessed several presidents making an appeal to the nation previously. but isnt this particular president undermined profoundly by the most recent military interventions in iraq and afghanistan? >> yes, he is. and i dont mind mentioning i was addressed in drafted into t war that president johnson was talking about there so i have a sense of dejavu when i hear presidents talk about we must act because the risk of enacting or inaction is muc...

Congresss ability to do anything important, even something such as a war. but were in this situation that were in now, and i think they have done a better case of laying out what actually happened there with the chemical weapons. i dont think among the detracto detractors, people opposed to an attack, youre hearing them say they dont believe the evidence. they do believe that. what they are asking, what are we going to do about it? and the problem is, youre getting at least in these open public ...
