wouldn t be having the kwugs quite frankly because this is about the nsa looking forward, not back, in terms of what edward snowden did. what s interesting. some of the invasion have been ignored. one is to change to the sieve of cyber command. it is interesting when you talk about the courthouse. look at this. rich plarkd in the white house pre- 9/11 and knows the seriousness of the threat and said some of that is not necessary. they are really tightening the language there, going back to language that obama actually proposed as a senate character,
included in those pre-nerve security educations pre-9/11 security sessions. jamie: so they re also wanting to question now another big name. tell us about that. reporter: yeah. that would be former defense secretary leon pa feta. the panel wants to know what panetta can recall this those pre-9/11 meetings. fox news actually sought to question panetta about this just this week, but his office did not respond. white house press secretary jay carney yesterday dismissed such questions as partisan in nature and suggested someone other than the commander in chief should answer them. i think when it comes to how the u.s. military positions its assets, again, that is a question best answered by the department of defense and by commanders. but you get no argument here from the suggestion that there was not adequate security there. reporter: the house armed
