i think water boarding is peanuts compared to what they do to us. joining me is susan del percio. the u.n. says water boarding is torture. your reaction to what donald trump is saying. i think it s completely un-american, and i think we ve established now certainly this far into the obama precedence they waterboarding doesn t work. so it s quite surprising that donald trump can get away with talking about water boarding and taking this tough stance and we re not pointing out immediately that it is not an effective terror tactic and it s important not only to point out that it s un-american, but also that it doesn t work. susan, from a purely strategic standpoint, a lot of things that donald trump has ever worked, what do you make of this? you re right, chris. it works for him and it plays to his base and he can say things like this because he s not in a
does, this is a terror tactic we have not seen before. and it is frighteningly effective. 20 years ago, you could never find the three people in minnesota who would be attracted to the isis ideology. today you can and they can find you. isis has used facebook, twitter, google, and the worldwide web as its command and control system. the violence in isis propaganda is enhanced by artful editing, special effects, and powerful music. some videos really are like small films, done with real skill. ironically, it is the barbarism that makes these clips go viral. no one has ever seen anything like this. most of us look at this, and this, and wonder how it could possibly attract recruits. but for some young men raised on
who had some knowledge of english, but the fact they would be speaking english together suggests maybe anglo in some way. westerners have been trying to join these groups in the region. remember that attack on the gas facility, there were canadians involved. westerners on the side of the terrorists involved in that attack. some part of the world, jim sciutto, doesn t mean you are from that part of the world, in terms of are joining one of these terror teams? no question. one thing we know about all of these groups, they re very international and have an ability to attract western recruits. we certainly see that with isis. i would fwheet we re ssay what the lobby, saw them, the new react terror tactic, get in early. you don t wait, negotiating, set up a cordon, you know these groups kill first and negotiate later if they negotiate at all. that s important. the second thing i would say is
that s a new terror tactic. it is. they have recently shifted to attacking the terrorists. much of their propaganda was calling on muslims to come join them and build in state. they ae calling on a lot of their would-be recruits. is it working? are they actually gaining numbers by these prop began that individuals? they do. and the way that they recruit is different than al-qaida. isis is trying to win over a small sliver of society. do they believe allah wants them to kill nonbelievers? kill? end the lives of nonbelievers? absloutly. not only does god call for them to kill but that humanity is calling for the end of time and that these times are desperate
