Top of the hour, 11 00 p. M. On the east coast. This is cnn tonight. Im don lemon. And im alisyn camerota. Tonight the video is devastating, but watching it may give us vital clues that could help us track down the isis terrorists who appeared to have executed american journalist Steven Sotloff. Plus, Ferguson Police now wearing body cameras. Is it too little too late . And is the real problem fundraising for the officer who shot Michael Brown . Also, are you buying the new iphone . Are you planning to . I dont know. You may want to think twice. Well tell you why. Lets begin with the breaking news tonight. The fight against isis in the wake of the apparent beheading of american journalist Steven Sotloff. Cnns justice correspondent pamela brown joins us with more. Pamela, great to see you. Lets start with the breaking news tonight. More u. S. Military personnel we understand are headed to iraq, 350 more. What do we know about this . Yeah, thats right, alisyn. We know that the u. S. Is sending approximately 350 additional military personnel to baghdad to provide additional security on the ground for the embassy and other diplomatic facilities over there. Now this brings the total number of troops who are providing Diplomatic Security in iraq to 820. A statement from the white house notes that the troops will not be serving in a combat role upon arriving, and that the white house was fulfilling a request from the state department as the country continues to fight isis. And also in this statement, the white house says that the request the president approved today will allow some previously deployed military personnel to depart iraq while at the same time providing a more robust, sustainable Security Force for our personnel and facilities in baghdad. Don and alisyn . We also understand the president was briefed on this new isis execution video just before he departed tonight for estonia. So what is the reaction from the white house . Yeah so, far no official statement from the white house. As you mentioned, president obama was briefed on the video just before departing for estonia today. But he didnt answer any questions about it before he left. And a Senior Administration official tells cnn that the u. S. Intelligence community is busy analyzing the video, verifying its authenticity and trying to answer key questions. When was the video shot . Where was it shot . Who is the executioner . Is it the same person as james foleys killer . Until it answers those questions, the Administration Says it doesnt want to speculate. Its important to note here the president is the expected to appear in a press conference with estonia, and you can bet that le he will be asked about the video at this press conference. But there is no word yet on whether or not he will comment on it. Pamela brown, thank you very much. Alisyn, you know that the president will be landing here 11 30 eastern just about. 27 minutes he is scheduled to land in estone yarks 11 30 eastern time. Of course, as he lands, you saw the live shot of the airport. Well bring it to you here on cnn. The countrys Intelligence Community working feverishly to confirm the authenticity of that video. In the meantime, it may be loaded with clues. Cnns tom foreman has that for us. Reporter hey, don, hey, alisyn. If you look at the two videos of the sotloff execution over here and the foley killing here, you see a lot of things that are similar. Similar terrain, similar weather, similar time of day. But there are also a lot of details that lookalike. For example, each of these men is forced to wear orange here. This is something that isis does to evoke thoughts of Guantanamo Bay where prisoners are held there in orange. Each time the man standing over them is wearing black with only his eyes being shown, he has a gun. He also has a knife, mediumsized in his left hand. Looks like the same knife, but you cant really tell. Beyond, that roughly the same height, the same build. Is it the same guy . Well, thats where people listen very carefully to his voice. Listen to how it sounded on the video released today. You, obama, have yet again for your actions convicted another american as your missiles continue our knifes will continue to strike the necks of your people. Now compare that to the voice in the murder of james foley. Any attempt by you, obama, to deny their rights of living and safety under the islamic caliphate will result in the bloodshed of your people. Reporter intelligence analysts say if it is not the same voice, at the very least the accent sounds as if it comes from the london area that suggests a possible link to dozens of radicals believed to have travelled from there to join the fight against the syrian government. People who are thought to be handling foreigners captured by isis. The Intelligence Community will go through every inch of this, every second, analyzing the electronic impulses, the audio, the video, the speech, voice identification, the geography, for whatever information it can provide. As well as the production techniques and any embedded information that may be there. Reporter in each of these videos, the victims were forced or seemed to be forced to recite these condemnation of u. S. Policy. And just as in this video, there is a threat at the end to execute sotloff in the future. At the end of this video, there is a threat to execute another prisoner at some time in the future. Don, alisyn . Thank you. A whole lot of questions. Did it happen at the same time as james foley . A lot of questions that we have. And joining us now to talk about all that is Major General james spider marks, and also former cia operative bob baer and cnn terrorism analyst paul cruickshank. Bob, i have to ask you straight off, when you look at this video, it the same guy . Has this been dubbed over . How do we know . Theyll be able to tell by voice analysis, and in the video images there is going to be meta data that have been embedded. They can tell a lot. They can tell the temperature it was shot at. There is a lot of things they can do with it. But the problem is these guys are so deep in syria that ever getting to them is going to be very difficult. Spider, you know, you heard bob say they can look at the terrain and maybe that would give them a clue. But doesnt it just look like a nondescript desert . It could be anywhere. How will analysts figure out the location of this . Well, theyll be able to probably get some gps data as well. The real issue is once we know lets assume we can figure all that out, as bob as suggested, and frankly, we can get awfully close. The question becomes what do we do with this intelligence. How are we going to act against it. Truly, thats is the discussion weve been asking for weeks. Do we persistently go after isis in iraq and avoid going after them in syria, or do we just open the gates and have a very, very Aggressive Campaign to strike them where they are and punish them . Paul, in your experience, do you think that these videos were shot at the same time . Because it appears that every ten days at least in the succession now from these two men, its every ten days that theyre beheading someone and releasing videos. Do you think theyre all shot at the same time . I dont think so. I think one video was shot a couple of weeks ago and one video was shot very, very recently. Mubin, you are back with us, and you have shared some of your personal experience. You for a time were an extremist and a jihadi. I just want to ask you, how it is possible that videos like this serve to recruit people . Because you and have i talked before about how there are lost boys here in america who are looking for a sense of community and belonging. But how do they make that leap to the brutality of Something Like this . If you look at it as gangs, street gangs, a lot of people when theyre recruited into street gangs, violence as a means of entering the group and meeting and finding socialization in the group, finding acceptance is a common factor. Youll notice in the gang context, you got to go and beat somebody up, maybe stab them up, shoot them, kill them. In this since, its very similar. They do behave like gangs. The way they talk, move and act, they have gangster jihad now, you have thug jihadis. This is all part of the same mentality. General marks, we have to ask ourselves a question in this country. How do we fight against an enemy that appears to have no scruples, and they dont really have the same values as we do. What do you do to combat that . Well, there are multiple means to try to get after them. And we can certainly take all the elements of power and apply them very aggressively. But at the end of the day, this has to be a military solution. But we also have to know what right looks like, what the horizon looks like in terms of what is too much or how do we know when weve killed enough of these guys that there arent 6,000 or 600,000 more available to fall in behind them. So there has to be a persistent message. But really what happens is you have to work a problem like this from the inside out. The regular islamic family, the individuals have to be able to say enough. That takes time. That takes a persistent effort on their part to eventually say, look, this level of brutality goes beyond anything that we can tolerate, and there has to be an internal mechanism that says were going to try to stop. This that has to require a lot of patience on our part. But we can provide pressure from the outside in, and hopefully generate enough to give those individuals that want to resist a sense that there might be a future that exists for them. Paul, youre nodding. That the answer . If theyre craving community, how do we intercept them . I think when people in iraq and syria are more angry with this group than they are afraid, thats when youre going really see some breakthroughs against them. We saw that in 2006 and 2007 in Anbar Province in iraq when the sunni tribes there rose up against this very, very same group isis in iraq back at that time. So its possible that could happen again in the future. But right now people are absolutely terrorized by this group. But i think over time, their angler grow as this group brutalizes the local population. Bob, why arent we hear mortgage . We heard from David Cameron today, the british Prime Minister. But we arent hearing from many u. S. Allies. Why is that . Well, the problem is we dont really have a policy in iraq, you know. With this government in baghdad is bankrupt. Its the sunnis will not accept it. And general marks and as paul said, you have to get the sunnis, and thats the sect that isis belongs to to turn against them. And right now ive been in touch with a lot of the tribes in Anbar Province. They want to come out. They want to come to the united states. They want support. They want a consensus, and they will turn against this group, which they call daish. We need another awakening, as paul said. We have to move fast, and we have ignore, frankly, the new Prime Minister who is hes got a bad record with iran and his sectarian shia party. We have to have a coherent policy in iraq. When that comes along, then we can get a lot of people, including the gulf, saudi arabia and the rest of the arab countries behind us. We do need a consensus, because we do not want to put our military through another war in iraq or syria. They did they won that war, but they are not peacemakers. They fight wars. And we have to get serious about this. I want to follow up on that with general marks. As we wait for the president to land in estonia tonight, possibly make the first comments that he has made about this video, the beheading of the journalist, what other military options does the Police Department have 20 battle this military group at this point . I think what he needs to do is be much more aggressive with the air strikes that are in place right now, and extend those to very known precise targets in syria. In other words, just do it. Go after those very, very aggressively. And lets go back to 1999, Operation Allied force. In the former republic of yugoslavia that resulted in milosevics downfall that was persistent over the course of 90plus days. There was no letup, both civil and military targets. And it was oppressive, and it worked. But we also had Ground Forces and the ability to follow up as necessary. And when milosevic raised his hand and said no more, we entered kosovo and we established our presence to provide some peace in the region. We have to be able to commit to making this work. The problem is that is simply a tactical solution right now, don. And beyond that, what does the end state look like . That has to be established by a strategy and this administration has yet to do that. All right, gentlemen. Thank you very much. Thank you so much. Great to get all of your insights. Fascinating. Theyre all on the same page. Community. It has to start at home. It has to start in schools, it has to start in the mosques, and there is a way to fight it. I want to see if the president comments when he gets off that plane. When we come back, could president obama have done anything to save Steven Sotloff . Well talk to man who knows how this country negotiates. Former ambassador to the u. N. Bill richardson will be with us. Plus, apple is close to releasing its newest iphone. But how safe is the stuff that we save on our phones . Should you think twice about taking all those selfies . Well talk all about that. Thats keeping you from the healthcare you deserve. At humana, we believe the gap will close when healthcare gets simpler. When frustration and paperwork decrease. When grandparents get to live at home instead of in a home. So lets do it. Lets simplify healthcare. Lets close the gap between people and care. Were changing the way we do business, with startup ny. Weve created tax free zones throughout the state.

Gov steven was my hero. He was traveling to the most dangerous, troubled places on the planet so that he could report back stories of human suffering. He was someone who could not ignore pain and injustice. He felt responsible. And he had to respond. That was stephven sotloffs friend Danielle Berrin talking to us in the past hour. What are president obamas best options . Joining us now is a man who negotiated with some of americas toughest offers, bill richardson, former ambassador to the u. N. Governor, thanks for being here. Thank you, alisyn. I read you think president obama is right the take his time to develop a coalition to fight isis. But what is taking so long, governor . Every country in the world has some sort of vested interest in stopping isis. Why is it taking so long to develop this coalition . Well, because you have to develop a military strategy, a diplomatic strategy, a sanction strategy. Now, a year ago, i supported the president when he said he wanted to have those air strikes on syria. He chose not to do that. But i think at this time, him being very conscious of the threat, but the importance right now of having a coalition. Now the good news is that a lot of countries, a lot of groups hate isis. I mean, its iraq, its iran, its hezbollah. A lot of bad guys dont like them. Thats good. Because you can build a coalition. But most importantly, i think when you look at the military option, what also needs to happen is our european allies, the german, the french, they have to participate in these air strikes. Weve got to get these arab rich people that fund isis to stop doing it. So its not just easy air strikes that are going to make the difference. Yes. Its got to be a comprehensive strike. But there are reports the president has been briefed on isis for months there is one report he has known about isis for a year. So as you know, critics are saying there is too much deliberating going on. Its time to come up with a coherent strategy and act on it. And governor, you yourself just said you supported strikes in syria a year ago. If so, the president has had a year to come up with a strategy, not just weeks since the beheading of james foley. He has had a year to do it. Well, i think what is important is this is a time when this is, as ive said, this is a 9 11 moment. This is a time when we need to stop doing all of this politicking, should he have done it, shouldnt he have done it. This is a time when the American People and the congress, i think he should go to congress with a strategy, a coalition strategy. We should go to our allies. He should go to arab countries. And find a way to build consensus. I mean, this beheading, im so heart sick over it, because this is americans that are being beheaded. And those bad guys are challenging us. And we have to respond. So what we need is stop the politics. Find a way to build consensus on a bipartisan policy. Bring the congress in. Bring the congress in on the decision. Governor, as youre speaking, the president is landing in estonia. Obviously he is there in preparation for the nato summit. This what hell be talking about at the nato summit . Or are all of these crises from around the grown from ukraine, russia, the middle east, what will be top on his list . Well, top on his list will be the isis issue. But also i think he has to send a message in the nato summit, number one, that were going to stand behind those countries, poland, the Baltic States that are potentially being threatened by russia. Secondly, i hope he gets the french to cancel that helicopter sale to the russians. And then a tightening of the economic sanctions. I think that russia has to pay a price. And we can go beyond the sanctions that have already been put forth. But most importantly, i think what we need is europe on this fight against isis. Bombings, not just the united states, not just targeted strikes by the united states. But find ways to have economic sanctions on those that are supporting these terrorists that are beheading our people. And governor, again, i want to tell our viewers, were looking at air force one that just landed at the
