that they apparently knew about from wiretaps between the mother and tamerlan, and also another person. you think the russians have been completely frank with us from 2011? and should they be doing more here? >> no, i don't think they were completely frank. but look, i mean, i head an intelligence service. sometimes you don't give an allied service, even one that you want to help you, all of the information that you have. i think the russians here were far more than a brick shy of a load. and let me just add, when the russians come to you complaining about chechens, i mean, there are a lot of chechens that the russians are mad at. not all of them are terrorists. and even fewer of them are threats to the united states. so i understand that the bureau and cia did their duty here. but, the counterterrorism relationship with the russians isn't all that intimate. >> general michael hayden, former cia director, former nsa director and principle with the chertoff group we appreciate your insight this morning. >> general hayden seems to be offering restraint is the best policy right now.
