some lawmakers suggesting the leaks are coming directly from the white house. one of those raising red flags about the leaks republican congressman peter king out of no, chairman of the homeland security committee. sir, good morning to you. good morning, bill, how are you. bill: i m fine, thank you. you want to know about this underwear bomb plot that was under covered in yemen that stemmed out of al-qaida and the arabian peninsula. going back to april or may when we had this counter spy operation in yemen where so much information was obtained, the highest we ever got in penetrating al-qaida in the arabian peninsula, and all of that was leaked to the associated press before it was completed. and there was such a small universe of people who knew about it, to me all the evidence points towards the white house.
here is david axelrod on cbs this morning. the last thing that he would want, the last thing anyone in the white house wants is to do anything that would jeopardize those missions or jeopardize those americans. so he s as outraged about it as any. and as you well know we ve been attacked for being too hard on leaks, for going after leakers too hard. this administration as been tougher on that than anyone. so this is a bit of falderall of the election season. bill: is it just the election season or is he outraged as anyone. absolutely not. if the president was so outraged he never said a word about the leaking of the yemen plot several weeks ago, which was the highest infiltration we ve ever had of al-qaida in the arabian peninsula. he didn t say a word when the stories appeared in the new york times until john mccain demanded a special council be appointed. the president didn t say a word. his outrage should have been the day that first story appeared in
together. he can only do that by giving a formal letter to the two u.s. attorneys and that s what he should do. give that letter and show it to the public. bill: i m out of time, but quickly you mentioned al-qaida in yemen. that is the hot spot. and now we ve been exposed there. yeah. bill: how long lit take for u.s. intelligence to get back inside that organization in yemen? i have spoken to people in the cia, they are very disturbed. they can get the job done, it makes it much more difficult and it puts american lives at risk to have these programs exposed this way. bill: peter king, thank you for your time. thank you. martha: we re learning about a big scare for the prime minister david cameron and his wife satisfactory man that. the british prime minister confirmed that yes he actually did leave his 8-year-old daughter at a public according to his office the incident happened a few months ago, it was during sunday lunch, folks. this is basically like going to a restaurant wit
it mean for intelligence in the middle east? what is going on? it s critically important that we support the war fighters. intelligence is our first line of defense. we node tow support our war fighters, the guys and gals fighting right now in places like afghanistan. you want your assets, since they are limited, we don t have unlimited number of intelligence officers, you want them in the places that provide the greatest threat. i would say our greatest counterterrorism threat to the united states is probably coming from al-qaida in the a rabe began peninsula in yemen. you want folks looking at that. you don t want to create a blind spot to al-qaida in iraq which is causing trouble for the government there. we have a war in afghanistan, the al-qaida in the arabian peninsula, other ace round the world. hopefully the folks inside the intelligence apparatus are looking at where we have intelligence holes that we need to plug with our intelligence officers and they are doing that. jenna
