That is not its job. our job is terrorism. and missile defense and that kind of thing. i spoke with commander william marx about todays search effort. >> as they do every day, they do see some form of debris on the water but typically thats trash or seaweed. theyve even seen dolphins splashing around. nothing from todays search so, no conclusions or debris from a wreckage. and whats important to realize is all the satellite imagery is helpful but really that is not enough to get us concrete ev...

The area where we do find debris, it will be a little easier to reverse-engineer where they came from. because this part of the ocean isnt as violent as further south in the old search area. so oceanographers will have a better idea of how to really reverse engineer all of the currents and probably get us into a pretty good area where we may find the main debris field. but again, thats a big if, as you said, you know. we have to find at least a tell-tale sign of this airplane first. >> absolutel...

>> there were a couple of points that come to my mind. first, it looks to me to be closer, a lot closer for the aircraft, so instead of traveling 13, 1400 miles just to get three hours search time, they should get a little more search time. thats how it looks from my initial indication. the second thing is, our oce oceanographers now have to remap the estimate of how the winds and currents and seas may have affected the debris, and reverse engineer wherever we find the debris to the area we thin...

Well get some better weather. the imaging capabilities today in our calendar day were not good. yesterday they were very good. so, were getting more and more data that can now be searched through and it looks like based on the meteor logical forecast we just saw that i think today imaging time will be good, as well. >> this is an if, too, but if you say you find this and its debris, richard, but has moved a long way. now, this is why that half ping was so important. perhaps that half ping indica...

The search area. what they must do now is reverse engineer where this debris, if it turns out to be the right thing, where it was a couple of weeks ago because we have to look at drift patterns. what theyre looking for is a clue whether or not this plane had shifted to the left or to the right because if you look at the target zones for where it would have hit, some search areas are more likely than others. we made them red here. if it ran out of fuel early, if it depleted all of its area early,...

Back, reverse engineer the current activity, the wind activity, and try to put it back in time 14, 15 days to where the aircraft actually entered the water. from that point, the other thing thats going to be a major issue, things like the flight recorders. if they remain attached to the structure of the airplane, probably are going to be some distance away from where the aircraft entered the water because the aerodynamic forces on the airplane tend to move things, but so do the hydrodynamic forc...

Time. but the how we can sometimes get clues from the people who survived. have you been able to talk with people as they have been walking out of the navy yard. what are you hearing? >> you know, harris, like so many other masters that we have followed. i have been following them going all the way tack to columbine, newtown, aurora, colorado, virginia tech, its always sort of the same. this gunman comes on to the scene with no apparent reason at least at the time of the shooting and opened fire...

Sitcom in hollywood. >> the benghazi conspiracy theory is one that i cannot reverse engineer. i cant follow it to the conclusions of its accusers to figure out why it is that the obama administration would have before an election faked their response to the attack in the way that they did so as to gin up better political consequences for them. >> the accusation makes no sense politically at all, and why the republicans keep beating it is also unclear. it was supposed to win romney the election, ...
