of total strangers on the internet, then by god, what can you trust? a lot of those reviews on sites like yelp are totally bogus but now the authorities are actually doing something about it. good afternoon. i'm jake faper. welcome to "the lead." we begin of course with the world lead. now long past sundown in nairobi, kenya. we are not likely to hear an all-clear from security forces at the westgate mall before the sun rises again. a senior official tells cnn that several gunmen are believed to still be in there and the sweep will continue tomorrow. the building is a viper's nest of sorts with all kinds of hiding spots for the snakes inside. almost at the very moment kenyan police said they were in control of all the floors, more gunfire rang out. members of the al qaeda linked terror group al shabaab overtook the mall on saturday. it's not hard to put yourself in the victims' shoes inside the mall. imagine you're at a mall, grabbing lunch, suddenly all sense of normalcy is shattered by 10 to 15 men firing ak-47s, some of them lobbing grenades. some americans were inside, including this one from north carolina. >> while we were back there, they methodically were going store to store, talking to people, asking questions, shooting, then it would stop for awhile and they would go to another store. >> at least 62 civilians were killed. the red cross says 65 people are still missing. kenya's interior ministry says three of the terrorists have been confirmed dead since this all began on saturday. it's unclear how many could still be left inside at this time or how many hostages they may still be holding, for that matter. al shabaab claims three americans are among the attackers but u.s. officials say they do not have any confirmation of that. in the states, al shabaab doesn't have the name recognition of al qaeda so just who are they and what do they want? >> no family should have to receive news of their loved ones have been killed by a criminal bunch of cowards. >> but tragically, the families of dozens of victims are mourning their losses today. after gunfire echoed throughout the westgate mall in nairobi, kenya this weekend, a favored destination for westerners. the deadly aim of up to 15 armed militants was reportedly targeting non-muslims. among the killed and wounded, innocent citizens of america, canada and france. even for those lucky enough to escape the terrifying ordeal was traumatic. the terror group al shabaab claimed responsibility for the carnage saturday afternoon. >> it represents the seriousness and breadth of the challenge that we face with ruthless and completely reckless terrorists. >> so who is al shabaab? a somali terrorist organization sharing al qaeda's perverse belief that targeting innocents is the way to fight in the name of allah. the group is thought to consist of thousands of fighters and formerly allied itself with al qaeda in recent years. >> we are simply fighting for the sake of allah. >> al shabaab has proven adept at recruiting american-born jihadis and the group claims three of them participated in the attack. officials say they are combing through evidence to see if that claim is true, noting the presence of some americans in the group. law enforcement officials are especially worried about a strike here by al shabaab terrorists, some of whom have american passports. >> we will punish the masterminds swiftly and indeed, very painfully. >> in kenya, al shabaab is a familiar foe. kenyan soldiers were among the united nations backed forces that helped to push the terrorists out of somalia's capital, mogadishu, in 2006. but al shabaab still controls portions of somalia and continues to recruit its fighters from outside that country. some al shabaab fighters were radicalized right here at home in the u.s., including a number of young men from the somali community in minneapolis. among counterterrorism officials, perhaps the best known american to join al shabaab is omar hammami, originally from alabama. the young radicalized recruit was an occasional rapper on youtube and was on twitter and was reportedly killed in fighting between factions recently. the international community vows to make sure the group does not attack again. >> we shall hunt down the perpetrators wherever they run to. we shall get them. and we shall punish them for this heinous crime. >> joining me is republican congressman michael mccall of texas, chairman of the homeland security committee. congressman, thanks so much for joining us. i want to start off the bat with -- >> thanks for having me. >> there's a lot of conflicting reports about whether or not americans were any of the gunmen in this attack. do you have any updated information on that? >> well, i know three reported, has not been confirmed. we have been following al shabaab for quite some time. we do know that 40 to 50 americans have gone over there to join what they call the fight. so it's not -- certainly it's very plausible that three of them could have been americans. >> congressman, having 40 to 50 americans as part of this group that has a formal alliance with al qaeda, is there any known threat inside the u.s. at this point from this group? are there concerns about the many soft targets we have here in the united states? >> well, i think their focus has been more regional. somalia, kenya. however, i think when you have 50 americans, up to 50 americans, trained to fight the war in terrorism, the idea that they could come back into the united states is a real valid concern. as chairman of the homeland security committee, we have been tracking this for several years to try to get the identifying travel information to ensure that these americans don't come back into the united states and if they do, they will get picked up immediately at our airports. so we've had several successful cases with the fbi recently, within the last year, of picking up al shabaab members in the united states who have actively tried to recruit and train in the united states, and then send them overseas to kenya and somalia. >> but the 40 to 50 individuals from the united states who have gone over to join the quote, unquote, fight, on behalf of al shabaab, you're confident that if they came back to the united states, they would be immediately caught? >> i'm concerned. i think we have a pretty high degree of confidence as to who they are, but there possibly could be americans over there that we don't know about. i think that's one of my biggest concerns. now, they are going over there to fight the fight for somalia, for the al shabaab movement, but the idea of them coming back in the united states is a very real threat that we have to prepare ourselves for. i think obviously, federal law enforcement and homeland security, we're working very hard on this to make sure they don't come back in the united states and if they do, they will be apprehended. >> i want to ask you about two other incidents, unfortunately it's been a very bloody week. in northwest pakistan a church was bombed over the weekend. nearly 80 people were killed. a splinter group of the pakistani taliban claimed responsibility and said they did it because of the drone strikes being carried out by the united states. is there a point in time where someone like you wonders whether these drone strikes are motivating more attacks and causing more deaths in a way than the strikes are preventing? >> well, nothing can justify the act of terrorism they perpetrated on christians. >> of course not. of course not. >> of course. having said that, i've said over the past year that drone strikes alone are not going to win this war. i think that's the present sole use in the war against terror, drone strikes, and that cannot kill an ideology. i think in many cases, you're seeing what we're seeing in pakistan is it's inflaming locals so i think we need to have a more comprehensive strategy, not just using drone strikes alone. i think you're right, jake, i think there is a variable there that it just inflames the region. drone strikes have been very effective and i support them, but it's not the single solution to this problem that we face. >> lastly, sir, one week ago today, of course, the horrific navy yard shootings. your colleagues, two of them, henry waxman is one of them, have sent a letter to the fcc and the congress department asking about reports that first responders at the navy yard had faulty radios, they had to rely on their personal phones to communicate, and then of course, there's a police union calling on congress to investigate whether a tactical team from the u.s. capitol police was turned away from responding to the shooting. what can you tell us about these two issues and how concerned are you about these first responder issues? >> this long after 9/11, the idea that we're not interoperable is really inexcusable. so we will be investigating that. i plan to hold a hearing on the house homeland security committee on this issue, and the clearances. i just happened to bump into one of these s.w.a.t. team members outside the classified briefing room in the capitol, and he told me about how -- i heard this firsthand that his commanding s.w.a.t. team officer told them to stand down, that they were there eating breakfast and that he told them to stand down. that's obviously of great concern when you have a s.w.a.t. team that close by that could respond to the situation. now, i need to verify the veracity of that statement but i have no reason to believe he was simply making this up. so that's something obviously we are going to be investigating, looking into. >> congressman michael mccall, thank you so much for your time. >> thanks for having me. coming up next, could you or someone you love have come close to overdosing without even realizing it?

>> davy was declared brain dead a few days later. when sacetominaphine is taken i large doses, it can cause liver problems. basically, what is the key issue? >> the key issue is really what they call the narrow margin of error. it's the narrowest margin of error between the dose that can hurt you and the dose that can harm. most folks tell us if you take the recommended daily dose, that's fine, it's a pretty safe medicine. if you go over that and not too far, you can get in trouble. >> just to clarify, i think you misspoke, the dose that can help you and the dose that can harm. >> right. there's a very narrow margin of error, according to the fda. >> how does this compare to other pain relievers? >> most other pain relievers and most other drugs, in fact, have a larger margin between what can do that damage and what can't. what makes tylenol unique is it's really a pretty safe medicine at the recommended doses, but if you go over two pills, four pills, six pills, eight pills, over a number of days, depending on your condition, you can get into trouble with things like liver damage and even death. >> most people probably wouldn't think twice about popping an extra pill or two. how much over do you have to go over the recommended dose for it to be seriously detrimental? >> so that's a question the fda is struggling to get a full number on, even today. but the number they put out right now is studies show that anywhere from about four pills over to eight pills over taken -- of extra strength taken over several days can get you into trouble. a one-time dosage of about four times can also get you into trouble in terms of liver damage and fatality. >> i want to play something from another couple you and your colleague spoke to. the parents of 5 month old brianna who was given tylenol. take a listen. >> the doctor comes in and says i figured it out. she's been poisoned by tylenol. her liver is failing. her enzymes are high. >> how did this happen? how did she get poison from medicine that's always given, that we were told to give? >> tell us exactly what happened with brianna. this is an interesting story and a tragic one, obviously, when it comes to children's tylenol versus infant's tylenol and counter intuitively, the infant's tylenol is at a higher concentration. >> right. this is one of the more interesting aspects of the story for me. what happened is the major manufacturers like tylenol and others were selling two different concentrations of infants and children's and the infants was three times more concentrated than the children's. so if you mixed up the dosage, in other words, if you gave your infant baby infant's tylenol at a children's tylenol level, you could end up poisoning them completely accidentally. that happened a number of times over 15 years and that's what happened with that family. she accidentally overdosed her child, brianna. so both the fda and mcneal, the manufacturer, both organizations were fighting over how to fix this problem but it went on for 15 years. during that time, we know some kids died while they were debating how to fix this problem. >> as our medical team points out, if taken in recommended doses, you are safe to take tylenol. this is not just a tylenol problem. tylenol has a new cap that warns about the ingredient and to use it safely. we want to also read this statement from the producers of tylenol. as the makers of tylenol, we understand that consumers have a need to know about the medicines they take and we have the responsibility to help them make informed choices including helping them to understand both the benefits and the risks. when taken as directed, the active ingredient in tylenol has one of the most favorable safety profiles among over the counter pain relievers. however, when an overdose is taken, it can result in serious liver damage. consumers should always read the label on the medicines they take, never take more than the recommended dose and talk to the doctor if they have any questions or concerns, visit get relief responsibly.com for more information. we need to put this in context for people at home with tylenol, with infant's and children's tylenol, how concerned should they be? >> today, they made only one concentration but there's still no instructions on the label on how to take it. you can't double-check yourself. if you're a parent, the number one thing is to follow what the label says. as of now, if you have a kid under 2, call your doctor for recommendations. that's what parents should do right now, follow the label as it's labeled and be careful when administering doses to their kids. >> be sure to read the story on pro publica.org about this study. thank you so much. really appreciate it. also, a retirement is reportedly coming to the former irs official at the center of the sprawling tea party targeting scandal. lerner headed up the same division that admitted tea party groups had been put through extra scrutiny when applying for tax exemption from 2010 to 2012. she infamously pled the fifth during a congressional hearing citing her constitutional right not to incriminate herself. many republicans called for her to be fired. she could still be called back to testify even though she is resigning from the irs. let's go to the political panel in the green room. this town has been playing the will she, won't she game for five years about whether or not secretary clinton will make another run for the white house. you're kind of in the inner circle. can you kindly end the speculation so we can all move on with our lives?

>> no. >> then in 2012, a slight tweak in the verbiage. >> you know, i've said i really don't believe that that's something i will do again. >> finally, this year, in an interview with cnn -- >> i am not thinking about anything like that right now. >> but now, in an interview with "new york" magazine's joe hagan, clinton says this. i will just continue to weigh what the factors are that would influence me making a decision one way or the other. i will translate that in my hillary clinton to english dictiona dictionary. she is thinking about it. erin mcpike is here to discuss. >> not only is there this big story out with this clinton interview, there is another story out today, 13 pages long, dripping with characters and anecdotes for clinton world. she's opened the flood gates and her supporters can start to try to get some bundlers to get some donors. i'm sure they're very happy about that. i think some of her supporters may not be happy about the attacks. >> we will some day launch a woman into the white house. >> the ready for hillary super pac will release this wednesday as hillary clinton confirmed what they have been hoping for. she's considering a second run for the white house. does this have the effect of really shutting down democratic donors in terms of other potential candidates? >> the honest answer is i don't know. it might. there's enormous support for any potential hillary candidacy. >> reporter: of course, now she'll have to gird herself for another onslaught of attacks. in a brand new interview with "new york" magazine to discuss her intentions, she and her associates are already pressing the case that she's more prepared than ever to be commander in chief. i've had a unique, close and personal front row seat and i think these last four years have certainly deepened and broadened my understanding of the challenges and the opportunities that we face in the world today, she says. because as secretary of state, she gained experience she didn't get as a first lady or a senator, like pushing to overthrow libyan dictate gadhafi, strengthening sanctions on iran and cutting a deal between israel and hamas. there is also the experience of facing congressional heat over the death of four americans in benghazi. >> this kind of scrutiny, some of it fair, some unfair, goes with the territory. >> reporter: but not everyone in clinton's orbit is happy that the wheels are in motion so soon. here's a glaring example why. another magazine cover making news, this one detailing how a single long-time aide to bill clinton creates headaches for the family because the firm he founded is rife with conflicts of interest. the former president was a paid advisor and has since stepped down. clinton's republican critics say it's politics as usual for the once and maybe future first family. >> the new republic article points to two trends that have followed the clintons as long as they have been in politics. the first is that they are addicted to drama and have internal campaign dysfunction and in-fighting and the second is they just can't help themselves but give political favors to their cronies. >> reporter: clinton world is sprawling. there's no shortage of people or issues to probe and now that hillary clinton may return to the political arena, republican super pacs like america rising aren't waiting for her to announce before they attack. >> what that has done is given people like us in the republican party and on the right an opening to discuss her record and to discuss her deficiencies on issues in the news. >> reporter: there's no denying that. but clinton aides do have a retort to the complaints of drama and dysfunction. hillary clinton doesn't repeat her mistakes. now, jake, there's one other big take-away i think from these two articles and that is clinton orbit has gotten so huge, there was a really interesting anecdote in the hagan story this weekend and that is that bill and hillary clinton were both in bogota separately last year, had dinner together and went back to separate hotels with their huge entourages. >> two huge international celebrities. thank you so much. let's take you to our political panel. former advisor to the hillary clinton for president 2008 campaign and an advisor to the ready for hillary super pac. senior editor for the national review, and political reporter for yahoo! news, chris moody. it's really interesting, because you have these two magazine pieces hitting the same day this largely flattering piece that "new york" magazine basically argues she learned from her mistakes, is ready for 2016, and this piece on the bill clinton aide which, whether you believe it or not, seems to highlight all the baggage and drama. tracy, this was probably not the rollout that the clintons, hillary clinton team wanted when they -- because this was an interview with "new york" magazine was obviously planned and in the works, and then you have this other story from the new republic that really kind of steps on the message. >> well, i don't know what the crossover of the two audiences are out there, but i think earlier -- >> me, basically. and the people at this table. >> okay. erin's piece earlier where she talked about ready for hillary and what they're doing, the video she showed at the beginning is their announcement of one million supporters. so you've got whatever people want to call the little microdramas and the things that fuel a lot of stories like these, and then you've got let's just call it the rest of the world, where it doesn't seem to make a difference. >> chris? you agree with that? is this honestly a negligible thing, the fact the new republic has this not positive piece about clinton land versus "new york" magazine and just the existence of hillary clinton and who she is? >> we're rolling into fall 2013 right now. there's a lot of time left. i think this is the kind of thing that kind of evaporates over time. now, the next three years are going to be spent with pieces like this all day long, oppo dropped here, nice feature pieces dropped there. we're seeing that come in from the parties, they're starting to roll out research teams on hillary and the democratic teams will start doing that on the bunch of candidates on the republican side. it's going to be like this for the next several years. >> what's also interesting about this, let's say you don't even -- let's say the piece against doug band and the new republic by a very respected investigative reporter, let's say it's not fair. let's posit that for a second, it's not fair. it still reveals that somebody out there is settling scores. somebody in clinton land has an axe to grind with doug band and that's kind of the problem that has existed in the past with clinton world is all these people around them who take shots at each other instead of uniting and that kind of was the problem for her in 2008 to a degree. >> i'm reminded of a story which i think the new republic ran back in 1993 about the coziyness and in-fighting of the clinton world, called clincest. you get this rush reading all this clinton stuff. in particular, there wasn't really anything particularly scandalous that's been revealed here. it's sort of like the ghost of scandal future that's being told in some of these stories. i think what the opponents of the clintons in both the democratic and the republican party want to say is that if you liked all the scandals we had in the past, get ready for more if you elevate her again. >> i do want to turn to the other pressing issue of the day of course, which is the pending government shut-down which is pretty important. there's a new pew poll out there showing with seven days left, there's a poll on who will be blamed, republicans will be blamed by 39% of the public. the obama administration, 36% of the public. both, 17% of the public. this is certainly counterintuitive from the polls leading up to this. i have read before, including in an interview with house republican party's own pollster that republicans would take the blame. it looks like it's shifting that maybe both sides will take the blame. >> let's not put the cart before the horse here. there still hasn't been a government shut-down and most likely probably won't be. >> you don't think so? >> i don't think so. i think they will resolve it before. the big fight will be on the debt ceiling in a couple weeks. this does buck the conventional wisdom. there's a general distaste with washington and a pox on both your houses for both parties. i think at the end of the day, republicans want to push something that's been on the books for three years. they want to repeal it. it's also been deemed constitutional by the supreme court. i would imagine most people would see the republicans as responsible for that if it does come to it. >> tracy, democrats, do you feel you have the stronger hand here? >> also in that poll, are interesting numbers on the willingness to compromise, and it does appear that democrats are willing to do that, that there's compromise that will be necessary to avert the shut-down and the tea party, for example, on the other side of that equation, they're not. they're not willing to compromise. and it's that stark difference that is and should be the scariest thing to all of us, because democrats willing to compromise, tea party not. >> we only have about 20 seconds. what's your prediction? will we have a shut-down? >> over the last week the momentum has been shifting against one, but it's too soon to say. you can still have it. it's a close call. >> great job, everyone. thank you so much. appreciate it. coming up on "the lead" if you have ever been disappointed after listening to online reviews, there might be a good reason. which businesses are paying for reviews and what's being done about it?

>> i hope so, and i anticipate it, yeah. this has been a huge story today. it's really gone viral. consumers love this. you know, it used to be the wild west out there, jake. you could have a bad review that was posted anonymously. i used to call it writing on the bathroom wall. it could have been your ex-wife. it could have been your disgruntled employee, somebody you fired. it could be a competitor. for the first time, the attorney general is saying this is wrong. you know, it's one thing if you go to a restaurant, you have a bad meal, but if you go to a bad doctor, a bad health care provider, somebody who is watching your kids and have a bad experience, that's a whole different thing and there are serious implications for these dishonest reviews. i'm glad the attorney general realized this. consumers will rally behind this. politicians will see that this is a great way to touch their constituents. yeah, it's going to be huge, it's going to grow. this is just the beginning. >> i guess there's just so much out there on the internet that i just automatically assume is fake. i don't know who the people are following me on twitter, half of them. i believe a lot of the political tweets that i get are from companies being paid by a certain party to shape my coverage one way or the other. i just wonder where this all ends, if we start getting involved in the reviews. >> well, i'm not sure where it ends but i think this is a great place to start. we live in a world where a lot of things are transparent in this world. so if somebody's writing a bad review and we see it comes from a city, it's a restaurant review, say, coming from a city where that restaurant is not even located, it raises eyebrows. the best customer review companies already scrutinize their reviews. their credibility depends on real reviews from real customers. nobody wants to live in a state where everybody's reviewing everything you do and everything you post. but we also have to look at this with a bit of a cynical eye, understand there's a lot of untruth on the internet. at the same time, there are moments when we deserve the truth. >> just last, we only have a few seconds left, but as a consumer, since you have this cynical eye you were just referring to, what's the best way to spot a fake review? >> you know, what you've got to do is look at multiple review sites. it's hugely important. look for the consistencies. if they keep saying this hotel chain has dirty rooms, they probably have dirty rooms. if you read five different restaurant reviews and they say, you know, they give great service, great food, you start to look at it and talk to your friends. really post reviews yourself. be part of the process. that can really help speed this along. >> howard, thank you so much. apple bills it as some of their most advanced hardware and software ever. that's the billing. but hackers have already figured out a way past it. apple has a touch i.d. on the new iphone 5s but this video shows how to easily beat it. according to a german hacking group, they say all a hacker would need is a photo of your fingerprint, a laser printer and a little bit of latex. fooling the sensor is easy. still, the 5s and cheaper 5c model are flying off the shelves. apple sold a combined nine million of them in just three days. coming up next on "the lead" stars used to graduate from television to movies but now it's the other way around. why some major celebrities are moving from the silver screen to the small screen. broken up over the end of "breaking bad"?
