The fort hood tragedy raises major questions as Mental Health is once again at the center of a mass shooting. Also americas plan to trigger protests in cuba, secretly using social media. Plus sports radio cries foul. Welcome to consider this, here is more on whats ahead. The alleged shooter specialist, lopez we have very strong evidence that he had a medical history. To see violence happen in a place where theres supposed to feel safe is tragic. In an attempt to undermine the communism government, the u. S. Government created a secret social media platform. Suggests that this is a covert operation is wrong. Daniel murphy is taking patternty leave to be with his wife. To you see the birth and get back. You are amazing you can hire a nurse. We began with the after math of the latest shooting. And the treatment provided to him by the army, specialists say he used a 45 caliber pit toll to kill three people and wound 16 more in a rampage wednesday. Lopez reportedly opened fire in a medical building fires more shots from his car, then went to a second building where he opened fire again. Lopez was then confronted by a military policewoman in a parking lot where he killed himself. In washington thursday, secretary in the army told the Senate Armed Service committee he was being evaluated for post Traumatic Stress disodderrer and had sought treatment for a traumatic brain injury, allegedly suffered after a green noncombatant tour in iraq. Offense undergoing a variety of treatment and diagnosis for Mental Health conditions. Ranging from depression, to anxiety. So some sleep disturbance. He was prescribe add number of drugs to address those. Including ambien. He is a Principle Investigator and a ten year study, funded by the department of defense. He is also the director of the moods disorder clinic. Good to have you with us. According to the veterans administration, between 11 and 20 of returning iran and Afghanistan War veterans have come home with ptsd, and close to one quarter million have been treated over the past ten years. I think you would agree that people that have ptsd are rarely violent toward other people . Antonio, the real message here, is that the when someone someone suicide, and almost all instants, 85 of people whod is, they have a psychiatric illness. And its not necessarily ptsd. You know ptsd is rarely occurred by itself. In almost all instances ptsd is accompanied by other things. Like depression, or anxiety, or alcohol abuse. So this kind of complexity is usually not a part of the story here. And people to have to understand that this is much more complex situation than is being talked about. Well, in fact, it is very complex, because ptsd is not easily diagnosed. He had nonbeen formally diagnosed with it, what are the signs and symptoms of someone who has ptsk . Well, i understand thats important, but the message here its not about the symptoms of ptsd, it is about whether or not ptsd is accompanied by other illnesses. When ptsd is accompanied by other illnesses thats when somebody who is thinking about suicide attempts suicide. So is the issue isnt is so is much the symptoms, but how it presents with other illnesses. But then thats the big question in this case. It kit present with other issues. When then, does the psychologists have to take action or when can a psychologists take action and say army you should watch out this person should not be on active duty . Well the point im making if somebody has ptsd thats not so much of a problem. This becomes an issue when there are oreologinesses accompanied by it. When people have other problems on top of ptsd, thats when somebody begins to think about suicide and attempts suicide. Blue in this case, at least according to the sector of the army, there were other issues involved. So my question to you as a doctor, is when request doctors take action to say hey, we should be care nfl this case, although again we should say in this case there are many reports that there were no indications of any kind of inclination toward violence. I understand. The first answer to that question is the co occurrence of other ill offenses, should alarm a physician to be alert of the possibility of suicide. And the second answer to that question is that when somebody begins to articulate thoughts about hopelessness, or helplessness, or worthlessness thats an indication to you that that person is increased risk for a suicide attempt. And in this case he also as we said, reportedly claimed that he had traumatic brain injury. But the army says theres knobbed case that had happened to him, should that have been a red flag. This he was raising things that may not have happen. Mile traumatic brain injury is a common occurrence for people who have been deployed and experienced trauma, frequently what happened during those situation is people get disinhibited. Quickly without thinking about the consequences. So is thats also an important consideration. So many questions in this terrible tragedy, appreciate you joining us tonight that talk about it. Thank you. Switching topics now to a u. S. Program to use a twitter like social media project to undercut cubas government. The program called was a cell phone Text Messaging Service that went around cubans stuff internet controlled and operated between 2010 and 2012. It was meant to build up a subscriber base. But unlike most programs aimed at hostile regimes it was run by the u. S. Agency for international development. Which delivered foreign aid, not the cia. The press secretary insisted that it was just meant to encouraging dialog. Suggestions that this was a covert program, are wrong. It was a Development Assistance program about increasing the level of information that the cuban people have, and are able to discuss among themselves. J. Joined from washington, d. C. , who co wrote this. I want to get your reaction talking about this is a Development Assistance program that wasnt secret. What is your effort lotterring show . What we found is that the u. S. Agency, through contractors have set up these Companies Overseas so create this version of exiter. Would be ba, of course, is very restrictive access, and just like where we with have access is to the internet on our smart phone, or on a computer, theres a lot less access there, so the idea is lets take Text Messages and turning it into a service where people can can can talk to each over. One of the goals was to much people toward withs this idea of change. And it works at least when it came to creating a subscriber base. So as many as 40,000 from what with we were able totem signed on. And they were able to because they received half a million phone numbers. They blasted them out, and people signed up for them, and based on the statute messages that we saw, and some of the people that used the service, it was a hit. Text messages is is very expensive, and this was a free service for them, and they love id it. It was agree way to talk to people. So they jumped through all kinds of hoops to create it, so why did they drop it . The first one, and this is what the government told us, the money gets shut off, but in 2012, the grant that had funded this skim my expired. Talking to other people that used it. The internet phone book, sending you to 11 seat when it should be going to another, we saw this in turkey and just other ways but came with the point that it became difficult for these engineers to keep it running. So i think it was the technical problems or the cubans coming on and the money. It is 2340 secret that in hostile environments government take steps to protect the partners we are working with, the purpose was to create a platform to speak freely, period. But that seems to contradict what jake was saying he is pretty much saying that they protected the cubans and they did this secretly, and he is saying it wasnt a secret . Is. Sure, we can open a think star russ. It was not an operation. They say it was more of a program that is discreet. Even still, the senator in charge of the committee that oversees this. And he called it ugly and dumb. Were any laws broken . In countries where they want to help the people they support, russia does it erskine that does it, was this a big deal . I think thats the question people may be asking on tuesday. When the administrator will be before Senate Patrick leahy and a senate committee. And the question comes down to this, if this were a covert operation, where the president properly notified were house and senate communities properly notifies. I think this wilbe a question for people is at what point does discrete become covert and require a whole new set of laws. A lot of issues raised by this, coming up a new book on pack span relations that is so controversial parts of it were blocked out, also the most extensive account yet of the boston bombing from the people that experienced it first hand, and our social media produceser tracking the stop stories on the web. A lot of people are saying a red sox player picture with with the president 20 into foul territory. I will tell you more coming up. Is while you are watching let us know what you think, you can tweet us at a. J. Consider this, or leave a comment on our i mean, i dont know whos illegal, whos not illegal. Al Jazeera America presents a Breakthrough Television event. Borderland a first hand look at the crisis on the border. Im already afraid just being here six strangers, with different points of view take a closer look at the ongoing conflict. Gary, a farmer, who hires many migrent workers. People say immigrants are stealing our jobs, its not true. And allison, a born again christian, republican. Lets just send them back to mexico and let their goverment handle it. They relive the fatal quest of a young boy named omar. Do you think that omar was way too young to make that trip accross the dessert . You just cant keep being strong. Where will this path lead them . Just because they make it to the u. S. , doesnt mean good things are gonna happen to them. Experience illegal immigration. Up close, and personal. The only way to find out, is to see it yourselves. On. Borderland only on al Jazeera America covered the war in afghanistan for 12 years covered several bomb shells about pakistani intelligence that make ady. Alliance even more perplexing. It claims pakistan knew all along that Osama Bin Laden was living in the compound where he was killed in may of 2011. That reporting and another revelations were considered so controversial that when an excerpt ran, local versions were sensorred and is the article left blank. For more we are joined she has reported extensively, and the summeredly the north after cacorrespondent. Some of the experiences are harrowing but i want to start with ben laden. You said that pakistani intelligence, not only knew about his compound and where he was, but that may actively collaborated in letting compound. In the end, thats what i found. It took a while, and we felt there was some sort of accomplicety, it wasnt just stupidity, all those years that he was living there, six years just a few hundred yards from the military gathering. But in the end, they did find an inside source that they were handling him. You have a desk responsible for him, one man only that didnt report to anyone, he just did he made his own decisions. Did everything himself. And he was handling therefore using but protecting him. So helping him survive. You heard this from a former head of the i. S. I. , but then you also heard from other sources about that specific desk. No, that desk is a one source story. I have never been able to confirm it. But it is from an i. S. I. Source, but not the head. They would never admit, s have very incredible when you trace the whole war as i did. It just made no sense, that this could have been there so in the open without them knowing. Right. And what was fascinating because then i checked it with u. S. Official whose said that makes sense. Because what they were also piecing the pieces together, before leading up to the raid. And they saw somethings they were watching that house, and they saw things that didnt add up. For example, he didnt have an escape door or tunnel to get out. He had no fox hole, like sudan hussein was found hiding in the garden, no place to hide, and nowhere to escape. And so it made sense to me that he was always relying on being tipped off or protected or being able to get out if a raid was coming. And it turned out that the c. I. A. Was coming to the same conclusions. Because i learned later when they were looking at the house they came to the same concussion. What are you say the man that was the u. S. Ambassador, he has come out and said that he does not believe that the i. S. I. Knew, and that the u. S. Didnt end up independently figuring i have had a lot of talks to the ambassador, i dont agree with him, i think he is interesting in preserving the relationship with pakistan. So he is always been quite cautious on what he thinks they knew. But he also says we didnt trust them to tell. We didnt trust pakistan to tell them about the raid. So i think it shows to me theres a lot they knew that they didnt tell you. You write there, that in fact pakistan has been underminding our efforts also. So not just that they were hiding Osama Bin Laden in plain sight, but they have been undermining our efforts there. You say they are sup is porting the taliban, maintaining to control militants and gain leverage, and you also say that the Pakistani Military and its forces lie in wait lying in wait for the u. S. To leave as it may leave if we dont come to some agreement. Right. In the near future, if thats the case, why are we spending on average 2 billion in aid to pakistan as we have. The argument is because they have Nuclear Weapons they are much too important a country because then pakistan pulled away from america, and if you dont have any engangment, you have no leverage. I would argue you give that much money and then say you dont have leverage, of course you do. It should be muffin smarter, you dont just give people things and let them do whey they want. So i think there has to be a much closer look at how the relationship works and how pakistan can be allowed to do this, because it is not possible, and they are going to cause trouble. For you personally when they smashed into your hotel room, when you are frying to follow the trail supporting the taliban. Right. So then i was in the boarder town in the south, and we were following that, trafficking pakistans involvement. Because we found the suicide bombers were coming from pakistan, and they were being trained there and set up. And often recruited without their familys knowledge, so i was tracking that and then they raided my hotel room, they arrested the photographer working with me. They punched me in the face when i resisted turning over my handbag. They took my phones and notebooks. And the arc present was they said you are not allowed to talk to the taliban. Which is the main district of the city where the taliban tends to live . That just told me everything. That was a warning to stop me reporting on the story. Troubling reporting about a very troubled relationship. Good to have you with us. Thank you very much, and again the book is the wrong enemy. On the domestic front we are just 12 with days away from the one Year Anniversary of the bottom bombing. A report out is mostly hoping praise on the cities response to the tragedy, and this week the definitive count, the man hunt and the recovery was published. Shed new light and bring new perspectives from the tragedy, a warning to our viewers some of the images we will show are graphic. Joining us now here in new york, are those two Award Winning reporters and jenna russell, may along with the staff covered the bombing and its after math, their book is titled long mile home. Boston under attack, the cities courageous recovery and the epic hunt for justice. I cant imagine anybody suited better than the two of you to write this. It was difficult. It was a difficult story. But this is kind of what we do, and we saw a lot of value in going back to it. And bringing this stories of individual people who were effected by these events. Bringing them together. Thats what you do. You tell the story through the eyes of different people, you have the director, someone who died also a doctor who was running the marathon, and right there when it happened. Why did you choose them . Is. This is a mas. Sive story, and there are so many pieces to it and chapters if you think of the week with and everything that happened. We wanted to find a way, people could really attest themselves to it. Not having 8 million different perspectives but really try to focus on five people who have more authority on the story than anybody else. So we thought by delling the story, you could get a sense. You could have guys to help everyone understand the larger implications. Program to the bombing. It said that the city was unusually well prepared for the attacks. You also say in the book if there was a terrorist attack somewhere in the u. S. Anywhere within a mile or two was the best place to happen. Hard to look at it that way, but true. It really is true. The finish line of the marathon was within was a mile or two of that location, you have a halfdozen hospitals so wellequipped to handle the situation. Because of the marathon itself you have a massive medical operation set up right there to deal with potential problems runners could deal with. You have tons of volunteers on hand, doctors and nurses there. So people were really, i think, kind of stunned. As awful as it is to have three people die, it could have been so many more had you not had the resources in place. Its incredible when you look at these images that were showing again that the results were as good as they were, despite the deaths and these terrible injuries. The harvard report is critical about one thing in particular, which is the shootout that followed once the manhunt gun, once they knew it was the tsarnaev brothers and went after that. Also was the decision to close down boston altogether. What are your feelings about that . Because you do think if a terrorist can do that, completely shut down a major american city, does that give them too much power . I think there are definitely voices making that point at the time that are we going too far . Is this a step too much . No city had really ever done anything like this. At the same time you have to think back to what it felt like on that morning, and a lot of people woke up friday
