During the time of the surge. so in other words, they have to hold certain fixed locations. government facilities, other places that we can target, or i i should say the iraqi army can target and we try to help. i think one big issue here is should american special forces be involved, not only in advising, but even in participating in some of the raids that would be used to take back a city. because there are a lot of predictable locations. if we can work with iraqi special forces to hit hard an...

Then intimidating. the combination of that in some of the big cities, and even some of the smaller towns, will allow them to get a support structure where they will continue to flow their logistics which supports their operations and, frankly, thats something thats sty mying the current iraqi forces. >> michael, when you look at these ten car bombs that you talked about, which were really in some cases truck bombs, each one the size of the oklahoma city bombing, and of course these were suicide ...

Took control of a commercial flight system. according to the fbi, roberts told investigators that all he does is reach under one of the passenger seats to the seat electronics box, plugs his laptop in and hacks into the planes entertainment system. that allows him to connect to the flight and navigation systems on the plane. the fbi seized his electronics in april after he tweeted about possibly activating the oxygen masks on a flight from denver to chicago. before that roberts went to the the f...

Exaggeration? >> well, i dont know necessarily its an exaggeration in the fact that he tried it. again, the affidavit states that the seats that he was sitting in, the ife, or the in-flight entertainment box was tampered with however what he was actually able to do, i dont know if he actually did on the flight himself. now, he did come back a couple weeks ago and say that he didnt do this in a real plane but he was able to do it in a simulator, so i think theres a lot of wishy washy language goi...

It doesnt matter if youre tamperring with a seat fire detective, the fact is if he took something apart, he took it on himself to try to hack into that that is a federal crime. it is not something that should be taken lightly at all. theres wires, others flight critical wires connected down there that are not part of this system necessarily, but nonetheless, to be hacking into an aircraft or attempting to hack into an aircraft is a serious problem. >> you know this guy, dont you, kim? tell us ab...

2008 and this has been a problem that the federal aviation administration brought up way back then. and boeing at that time told me that they had found a solution to separate the networks but they said that with a combination of physically separating parts of the network and then in some cases only separating them with a software firewall. and in the security community, a software firewall is known not to be sufficient to separate a noncritical network from a critical network. software firewalls...

One, it is probably quite significant not just because you killed a bad guy. it is always a good day when you kill a terrorist, especially an isis terrorist. but it is probably very significant for intelligence gathering. who was this guy? referred to as their chief finance officer. he is in charge of their oil revenues and that is a big part of isiss funding. so not only have they gotten rid of this guy but my guess is by taking his wife who was an integral part of the operation and also whatev...

System you dont have to worry about unpredictable weather patterns impacting this system. but youre right. it will be vulnerable to cyber attack. the people who are building this system have been acutely aware of it from the beginning. they say theyre doing all they can to put in the proper safeguards from the very beginning to protect the system from those kinds of vulnerabilities. >> all right. rachel crane, thank you for the preview. >> thank you. next no charges for that police officer who...

Is more from a terrorist standpoint. all indicators are at this point in time this was not a terrorist attack although i will tell you that al qaeda is intent on hitting subway trains and trains themselves as they did in spain, the uk and then the zazi case in new york. so were always looking at the vulnerabilities that may be in place and what are the security measures that are put in place with respect to trains. very different from airline passengers in terms of the screening. its more risk b...

Each one had a different focus, but one of them was talking about a three-point harness, whether its worth it. they said no, its not. you have to question was that the right question to ask? should it have just been a lap belt maybe thats something they should have looked at more in depth. ive read all these of three reports. the other thing about these reports is they were really focused on whether or not someone would be ejected from the train. you mentioned earlier theres dogs out sniffing lo...
