Wouldnt be having the kwugs quite frankly because -- this is about the nsa looking forward, not back, in terms of what edward snowden did. whats interesting. some of the invasion have been ignored. one is to change to the sieve of cyber command. it is interesting when you talk about the courthouse. look at this. rich plarkd in the white house pre- 9/11 and knows the seriousness of the threat and said some of that is not necessary. >> they are really tightening the language there, going back to l...

What do you think of the, you know, the promptness, the depth, the seriousness of our going after the people who killed our people in benghazi a year ago? >> not oversimplify it but too little too late. we are back to the pre-9/11 mindset to be treating it as a law and order issue and criminal justice issue rather than an act of war. to wait an year before we indict someone and not have them arrested is too little. we know where he is and who he is. we have every right to take him and grab him a...

Him. what do you think of the, you know, the promptness, the depth, the seriousness of our going after the people who killed our people in benghazi a year ago? >> well, it is not the oversimply it, but it is too a little too late. we are back to the pre-9/11 mindset to be treating it as a law and order issue and criminal justice issue rather than an act of war. to wait an year before we indict someone and not have them arrested is too little. with e no e who he is and where he is and we had ever...

>> by the way, let me ask a follow-up question. living embodiment, i dont know what is going on, but if it helps them pass the time of day, that is great. >> so it should be available? >> sure, of course. think about the pre-9/11, what we have learned about the activities of the hijackers. it was pretty bawdy stuff. and so the fact that these guys are reading a little bit of the incredibly poorly written bondage stuff, as long as they dont get away and go back to the country that is going to let...

Security issues, on enforcement issues, and someone who will garner the respect, you know, of the congress which right now theres a real problem with that. lastly to talk to your point about taking war on terror out of the vernacular, taking out radical islam. if we cant define the enemy, we cant defeat it. giuliani testified before my committee on boston talking about that very issue. the narrative of administration that al-qaeda is on the run, bin laden is killed, war on terror is over, lets d...

The war will resume, and they assume they will ultimately defeat the government already in kabul. so they have no incentive to concede anything. and i think karzai was absolutely right to blow up over what happened yesterday because it was a sheer propaganda move. it was a way in which the rebels, the taliban, were claiming the legitimacy of the government of the priest one, the pre-9/11 government, and obama in a clip that you showed earlier on the show dismissed it as a couple of words on a wa...

Criminal mind set. pre-9/11, yeah, at a time when in fact the threat is changing. it is actually i would say metastasized and mutated but certainly not diminished. >> well get into that with mike baker a little bit later but let me get back to this because it seems to me, colonel, mcsally, that you are passionate and concerned that the president is not calling it a war on terror. with that in mind i would believe that many of our viewers agree with your position on that. a lot of our viewers als...

>> and in fact, turning the ship around at the c.i.a., the c.i.a. has now since 9/11 been a paramilitary organization. as much as it is a spy-gathering, lets find secrets. it needs to be shifted very dramatically. and youve got john brennan there, who has the presidents complete alliance and trust. but this is a big deal. >> it is. the c.i.a., pre-9/11 was about strategic intelligence, targets like china and russia. and post 9/11 became a paramilitary force. and we have to say, an incredibly eff...

Tolls from the terrorists they targeted dwarfed estimates of civilian kauscasualties. he made a renewed push to close guantanamo bay and asked congress to lift restrictions from gitmo and speed up the process of trials and military commissions and transferring detainees. a lot to chew on and were going to start with congressman tho thornberry, a member of the house armed services and intelligence. congressman, what is your reaction? >> well, i thought it was interesting. when he was interrupted ...
