Good morning, leave. Good morning, tom and chris. Im delighted to be with you. Go ahead, tom. For those of you who might not know but hes a modest manned but chris was the number two on the staff held the staff together and helps get that report written. Theres more credit than he ever received or will ever receive. [inaudible] i think that we thought there would be still a terrorist threat. We werent smart enough to predict how it happened and the extent of it, geographically or anything else but i think we thought it would and i might serve before i start any program we pay tribute to the families because the families of 911 have been the most Extraordinary Group and they have taken the greatest tragedy that could come in anyones life and turn it into triumph and progress and work to help other families and other people every single minute since their tragedy and with the Largest Organization since last week and they are still raising funds and people who are in trouble. This is a remarkable group. Lee and i have never tested for congress and on the way id like to say the report would it have been done without a and we wouldve been successful without the legislation without them in the families. [inaudible] i think lee and i would both like to pay tribute to them before we go any further. Yeah, i think we anticipate. Terrorism has always been there. It has always been there in history. In guy fox stay in london that was catholic terrorism. They tried to blow up the parliament and that was a long long time ago but terrorists assassinated the United States president and they tried to assist to assassinate the grand duke arden arch ferdinand that started world war i and they didnt have the nuclear age that the internet age has given them and all the skype and all of those kind of things and that is what makes them such a great danger in the nuclear age. I think we felt that terrorism would be around and i dont think we couldve expected the problem was still dealing with. Your question is the same question that is on the minds of most americans. We been fighting this war against terrorism for a long time, 16 years. Weve spent a lot of money, reorganization of government but the best minds we have in the country in many ways on National Security and yet, as jason reminded us in his opening comments, terrorism is still alive and well. How can that be and why are we makinareto be making more progr . Now with regard to the 911 commission and hearing question specifically, tom is right on target as he usually is. We said there were two enemies, one was al qaeda and the other was a terrorist extremist movement. We anticipated that this would be a generational struggle. I think it goes far beyond the 16 years. So, i think the 911 commission has it pretty well sized up. Certainly they cannot indicate the details of it. Terrorism is an adaptive evolution movement and we have to be prepared to be in it for the long haul. I dont think we are close to seeing the end of terrorism so the struggle goes on and it will be at least generational. Thank you, lee. I like to follow up in part on the response and toms here which is respect to the response of the us government. Weve done a lot of things since 911 and yet it has been said that governments just dont do very well combating an ideology. How do you size of the government response from 911 to the present day . In many ways, its been pretty darn good. We spent a lot of money, a lot of people including members of congress and leaders in this fight and we basically prevented any major 911 type attack on the homeland. That is a big accomplishment. They want to kill us. They want to hurt us as badly as they can. The effort is to attack in the United States and we prevented that. On the other hand, we havent been so successful with our allies and theyve had attacks in great britain, france, and recently, spain. As long as they are alive and tacking our allies and metastasizing or spreading around the world so that they are, as congressman called, they are in the philippines now, the second largest island, as long as they are growing and in some places indonesia and as long as theyre going around the horn of africa and spreading in that way we are in danger. So unless we find a way to start decreasing rather than spreading to this very strong extreme form of the great religions than sooner or later we will be an even more trouble in the homeland. This is, as he said in the 911 report a generational problem. We will have to treat it that way and attack it where it lives, not just with troops in the ground but with other means to hopefully eventually destroy it. Impatient with the progress we have made and the way we still have to go. Tom, of course, is right pointing out that we have made considerable progress and i think the most important metric of that is how we have been effective in preventing casualties in this country. Having said that we have not yet put together the kind of rigorous, effective, powerful, counterterrorism comprehensive strategy that i would like to see. There are a lot of parts to that. We want to continue the conditions that prompt terrorism and that is a huge effort in and of itself and we want to protect the homeland and i think weve done pretty well there and we want to eliminate terrorist. Weve done a lot of that but they still keep coming. We have got to sharpen our own message. This is a war of ideas and of ideology and we have got a wonderful story to tell of american values, good government, the superiority of our ideology over the ideology of our opponents is apparent if we just get that message out. One area that i think we need to work on vigorously is enlisting good muslims to help us in our strategy. If were going to impact the bad muslims and their very small minority of the total muslim religion, most of which is. [inaudible] if youre going to make progress with that small minority of muslims who advocate violence then we have got to enlist the good Muslim Community who have more effect on the bad muslims that we can have as non muslims so we have to enlist those people in this ideological battle in the final point i would make here is the role of the ordinary citizen in this country. It was the shoe bomber that was stopped by Airline Passengers in the first instance and not even the First Responders and it counts when we say if you see something, say something. The role of the citizen has to be sharpened, as well. Bottom line in all of this is weve got the outlines of a competence of strategy that deals with terrorism and we have the resources to do it and we have a lot of good people working on it and we made a lot of progress but we have got to sharpen and make far more effective a comprehensive strategy we thus have. Thank you, lee. You spoken to what my next question would be which is what is missing from our efforts. Can you spell that out in considerable detail and i would like to ask thomas if you would like to comment on what we presented in what additional you might one of the nice things lee and i always think along the light track and i think about what i want to say before i says it and he. [inaudible] anyway, look, the 911 report is a snapshot in time. If you read that report is an indictment of the United States government. Its failures in department after department of congress and two president s to anticipate the problems of 911 and that was the 911 report. We had to change a lot of that in the majority of that were implemented but the problem is we also said that you should periodically reassess the threat and find out if we are still on the right track and im not sure we have done that to the extent that we intended because, at least every three, four or five years, we should look at it and how is it changed and what has been successful and what hasnt been successful. If it is not successful, why is it not successful and how can we change the approach. That has been lacking because, look, we have had the successes we mentioned and that is great but weve also had this huge increase of the territories in which these people now occupy. We said it you should never allow, as you had once in afghanistan, our enemies to have a place to plot into plan and they cannot have a safe space to plan another attack like 911. While they are getting safe places around the world and we have to worry about that. What are we doing wrong and what can we do new work that is the reason, frankly, thanks to the Bipartisan Center that we will get this group together. We need to look at these questions and say, are we succeeding, how are we feeling, what can we do differently, what are we missing and how can we eventually get us on track to longrange wind over a period of time against these very, very bad people. Well, at this point we have a very good exposition of the content of the report, the views of the chair and vice chair, and i think its time to open it up for questions. Please, if you can state your name. Thanks for doing this. I commend you on the report. It is not just a very informative but its a great read for any of the students that are here. I wanted to ask you that i noticed in the bpc report theres a lot of talk of the muslim from rutherford and i wanted to ask you, governor. If you think the Muslim Brotherhood is a terrorist organization and should it be designated as such as the us government. Thats a difficult question because i believe its not just one organization but different manifestations of it and if you ask people, they will say they are not a terrorist, and that they are a peaceful and a number of areas they are and others they arent. Its not to be just one organization but a group of people who have an ideology that can be used for terrorist purposes but it isnt always. It isnt clear as designating a number of the organizations around the world that said we are terrorists and we want to appeal to people, Muslim Brotherhood as i understand it does not say that in the broad area and in some countries whether they been acting as terrorist and other areas they are not. There are people on her task force who knows so much more about the Muslim Brotherhood and i do but there are wonderful people we have no one. We have coming along on the program, some real experts on muslim and islam and islam is him which is a good question to put to them. My impressions is the same as toms. The Muslim Brotherhood, as i understand it, is a very, very broad group that has a lot of people in it that are excellent muslims, peaceful muslims, admirable in all respects but it also has some groups within its comprehensive group that advocate violence and if the advocacy of violence which is what you have to really target. We dont want in our counterterrorism efforts to target most muslims and the people we are after are the people who would not normally advocate violence but to act on that view and that is where ideology becomes in as well as the other things. So, i think the Muslim Brotherhood is a very comprehensive group and has a lot of strands within it but i must say i would defer this to some of the experts that are coming along because i know they studied that group in great detail. All that i would add here is to point out that in the executive summary and i believe its toward the last paragraph that the key hinge here is not what people believe, they may believe things very differently from what we believe in western democracy and the key hinge is advocacy and action on behalf of violence and that is the point of differentiation where we do become very concerned. Next question yes me. My name is jan and i had the fortune early in my career to work for governor kane in his office in dc and subsequently post 911 had the misfortune to run a Large InternationalTelecommunications Network in Cyber Security operations. My question is following up on chairman mccalls comments earlier today. The Telecommunications Corporations have been engaged in dialogue but has anyone brought this issue to icon, the Internet Corporation for assigned names and numbers the internet. That is the body of Electrical Engineering geniuses who get together on a regular basis and i know their next meeting is the end of october in abu dhabi to ask them to focus their attention on what Technical Solutions can be developed to disrupt the communications particularly now that its a such a international issue. Has anyone engaged them. It sounds like a wonderful idea and something we should be doing but i dont know. I really dont know. And tia at commerce is their liaison Role Organization if theres anyone here could follow up. It does strike me that thats a big problem is they use to recruit modern technology and the internet and i know the Internet Companies have said they have to be careful in what they say about free speech in the Business World and i understand that but i heard them the other day after. [inaudible] they said we would keep those neonazis after the internet and i thought terrific but what about saying we got to keep the terrorists off the internet. If they can do one they can do the other. If tom doesnt know the answer, i dont know either. Okay, i think we have time for one last question please, in frontier, yes. Hello there. I work for the school for ethics and Global Leadership in dc. I work with a lot of students who may be asking what their role can be in all of this in my question is what should the role of the citizen be in counterterrorism and what can we do to help the effort . That is a wonderful question because given the kind of world we live in right now the citizen is the most important person because as chairman mccall said and i think hes absolutely right it is not going to be the fbi agent for the cia will detect next terrorist plots. It really isnt. It will be a local cop. For instance, when the guy try to blow up times where there are more placement in. Square inch in times where than any other square in the world and you wouldve thought it would have been a Police Officer but it was a Street Vendor saw the problem and got the police and got the guy rested. The most important thing is the line of communications from the local police and from the citizens about what happens if you see something wrong and you report it to the policeman reported to some local official. Is there a direct line where that goes right on up to someone in to take action right away. This is no time on these things. Is that line good . The government has been working on their to strengthen those medications between local authorities and federal authorities so it is oneness with a line in it is the citizen who sees something that is wrong, see is that something that is not normal and see something that he or she ought to report and does that will save lives. They are our first and most important line of defense and so, tell your students that. They are so very important in this effort. First, to understand it, to understand that it is important and why it would be lifesaving and why it is such a danger why in the world of cyber and Nuclear Terrorism becomes even more effective than it has been before and how the first line of defense is the citizen who report something they see and hopefully will then organize well enough goes right up the line to someone can take action to prevent an event from happening. Tom, is right of course. The citizen has to be informed about the threat of terrorism which we had said his grave. The citizen has to be alert and my mind runs in answer to your question to the most, i think, serious threat that probably confronts the United States citizen and that is a radicalized individual. How do we identify the person who is not only radicalized in their thinking but expressing a view or an ideology strongly opposed to our views and our values and how do we identify that kind of a person. Becoming radicalized to the point of wanting to use of violence. The person most likely to identify that person is not in washington dc. Its in the neighborhood and it is in the group of which the radicalized person is a member of and that is the point of toms making that the citizen has to be alert to that. So, i believe, the citizens role is absolutely crucial in many ways but particularly when in the task of identifying the person becomes radicalized and is prepared to act on that radical ideology to use violence. Their role is essential, critical and probably more important than other roles than we think about. Let me repeat again that the shoe bomber was caught by an alert. We break away to take you live to the capital to hear from Senate Leaders after their weekly party meetings. As you know, the work for the week is the National Defense authorization act and we will move forward with that. Hopefully, we will process that this week or early next week and
