remarkable life of kayla mueller. the admiration and courage for the serenity she displayed in a year and a half of isis captivity. president obama spoke to buzz feed's penn smith. >> she was confirmed dead today and i wondered if you had any reaction to her murder and whether, really how you tell a family not going to do this again? not doing all we can in this situation? >> first of all, my immediate reaction is heartbreak. you know i've been in touch with kayla's family. she was an outstanding young woman and a great spirit. and i think that spirit will live on. i think the more people learn about her, the more they appreciate what she stood for and how it stands in contrast with the barbaric organization that held her captive. but i don't think it's accurate then to say that the united states government hasn't done everything that we could. we devoted enormous resources and always devote enormous resources to freeing captives or hostages anywhere in the world. and i deployed an entire operation at significant risk to rescue not only her, but the other individuals that had been held. and probably missed them by a day or two, precisely because we had that commitment. the one thing that we have held to is a possible of not paying ransoms with an organization like isil and the reason is that once we start doing that not only are we financing their slaughter of innocent people and strengthening their organization but we're actually making americans even greater targets for future kidnappings. so, you know it's as tough as anything that i do having a conversation with parents who understandably want by any means necessary, for their children to be safe. and we will do everything we can short of providing an incentive for future americans to be. >> you're ruling out ransoms as anything considered there. >> just as a general rule what we don't want to do is make other american citizens riper targets for the actions of organizations like this. >> that's president obama and buzz feed's ben smith. the white house said they're not changing the ransom policy but reviewing the hostage policy. >> the president started this back in november. my sense, anderson is that they're making progress but as you heard the president say and speaking with the parents of these american hostages as tough as anything he does but is standing by the policy of not paying for the release of hostages and the concern we've heard this repeatedly not just from the president but several officials inside the white house is they don't want to provide an incentive for isis or other terror groups to take hostage. the other big thing, the payments made by other governments for their hostages to release hostages helps fund isis operations but the president essentially acknowledged that this rescue mission he authorized last summer was aimed at freeing kayla mueller and the other hostages inside syria. that was something we had not heard before. >> in terms of kayhow kayla actually died do they not believe it was the jordanian air strike? >> reporter: that's right. we heard from white house press secretary josh earnest. no word of air strikes that took place and recall those were the jordanian air strikes part of the u.s. coalition to really strike back at isis after the killing of the jordanian pilot who was burned to death but the white house saying today that that is not the case that is a bogus claim from isis. >> new authorizational military force against isis. do we know the details of that? where does it stand? >> reporter: we heard from sources white house will unveil this as soon as tomorrow anderson it will get rid of 2002 authorization for the war in iraq something democrats like and replace it with a measure that is isis-specific. the authorization will have no geographic boundaries to go after isis wherever they are and this will only last three years. keep in mind that's beyond president obama's time in office. but on this key question anderson of whether it will allow for u.s. boots on the ground or combat operations this is where it gets interesting. according to this proposal that we see from lawmakers and hear from lawmakers, this authorization will prohibit what they call enduring offensive combat operations. what does that mean? the president boots on the ground in combat operations but that those deployments cannot last indefinitely anderson. >> jim, appreciate the details. thanks. we can't confirm precisely how or where kayla mueller died whether a jordanian air strike as isis claims but we know how she lived, as a young woman who cared for others in places she didn't have to go how she lived as volunteer helping victims in the war in syria and even how she lived and survived as a captive. today, the family said she herself wrote them from the cell and reads in part i've come to see there's good in every situation, sometimes we just have to look for it. she continued i pray each day that if nothing else you felt a certain closeness and surrender to god as well and form a bond of love and support amongst one another. in prescott arizona, talked about what a remarkable person kayla was. >> i'm not yet sure how to live in a world without kayla. but i do know we're all living in a better world because of her. so i'm going to end on a quote that reminds me of her. peace is not something you wish for. it's something you make. you it's something do. it's something you are and it's something you give away. >> joining us now from prescott is ana cabrera. you were at the press conference today. what else did kayla's family have to say? >> reporter: they really want to make sure she's defined by her life not her death. they shared stories about kayla and what was a common theme is just how giving she was and how much joy she brought to every life that she touched and so even though this is such a painful moment for her family and friends, they are comforted by her memory a memory that lives on. they talked about the work that she did, not just here in arizona, working with non-profit organizations but also around the world in her humanity work. at such a young age, she traveled to india. she traveled and worked in israel and the palestinian territories and lastly of course drawn to turkey and the turkey/syria border where she helped out the syrian refugees and say it's really kind of almost ironic in her death, it's shedding on her message and what she deemed was so important. and the message of the people in syria. and that is what continues to live on. >> kayla has touched the heart of the world. the world grieves with us. the world mourns with us. the world wants to be more like kayla. and if that is her legacy and the footprint that she leaves on the world, then that is a wonderful thing. >> just devastating. president obama called the family as well? >> reporter: yeah that's right. we understand he spoke with both of kayla's parents, he expressed his condolences and pledged to relentlessly pursue those who had a hand in her death and we know the priority right now of the u.s. government working with the family to try to bring kayla mueller's body back to arizona so that this community and her family, most importantly can have some closure and kayla can rest surrounded by those who love her, anderson. >> ana cabrera, thank you very much. we read portions of kayla's letter tonight, however, because we think you'll find it worth reading in full, we posted all of it on our web site, cnn.comweb site web sites sitesa ac360.com. brian williams suspended for six months. could this be the end?

brian williams has seen a sharp. reliable sources, also the hollywood reporters, maorisa guthrie. are you surprised? >> reported the suspension was likely but six months shocks me. >> it's long? >> because of how long it is and people automatically assume he'll never come back. six months is such a long period of time that this will become permanent with lester holt and the job but what else could have nbc done? the talk in the halls what he was never going to come back at all but at least this gives people the possibility or think there's a possibility. >> basically tables the whole issue, just gets him out of the public discussion and six months when people aren't paying attention, simply go. >> pop up and return or he'll just be fired. and you just prolong everything. that's the thing. ma you're in the penalty box for six months. >> would that prolong it? six months after the limelight and the headlines? >> does he come back and if he does does it dredge everything up again? and also so they announced, why didn't they announce this last week? so they have this internal investigation going on. >> which is still going on not done yet. they're still investigating, they say, yet they're still doing this. steve burke, the head of nbc universal, met with brian at his apartment on the upper west side on central park west and said in the statement tonight he deserves a second chance and we are rooting for him. i don't know if anyone in the country is going to believe that. >> and i don't think, people inside nbc news are upset. it's like you're either in or you're out. does keeping him around in the suspended animations continue to damage the credibility of the news division? i think that's what a lot of people feel inside nbc news. >> he signed a new five year contract recently. suspended for six months without pay, if he's actually let go then would he receive the, i don't know $50 million or whatever it is that he would normally have been paid out over the course of five years? >> that depends if he has a moral turpitude clause in his contract. they can get out of the money off if that's in his contract. >> they could have easily have the language changed which many people do. >> brian williams did go to iraq and new orleans. there's an outcry from his fans saying this is too much this public trial is too much and he deserves a break and deserves a second chance. by having him suspended for six months, not really getting a second chance at least not until way down the road. >> not being on the nbc nightly news for six months i assume also means no appearances on jimmy fallon no appearance on various late night shows. just on -- >> deep freeze. >> steps down folks automatically connect, there's another job out there for brian williams. he's been so funny in late night before maybe decide to make a career change and i'm sure i'm not the first. >> or maybe jon stewart can be anchor of nightly news. >> now the whole future of television aren't we? >> it is a remarkable stunning turn of events when you consider the career the power he had within nbc, the presence he had on television on a nightly basis that within the space of five days i wonder how much of this would have been different had he made a different statement on the nbc nightly news initially and then not gone out to a ranger game with tom hanks immediately after making -- >> i think it would have been a lot different. if he made out immediately and said i was wrong and did something i shouldn't have i'm worry sorry and they could have immediately announced the suspension of a few weeks, a month, something. if he had made a transparent full throated apology immediately i think it would have been a lot different. >> the media version it's not the crime, it's the cover-up it's the way it's handled immediately by the people involved that's how it feels in some ways but also have to say if he hadn't tried to be so public about what he was doing, he was celebrating a veteran, a wonderful thing to do but made it about himself on the broadcast and said hit by a chopper an rpg. made it about himself and clearly worsened the situation for him. >> and then the revelations about other stories coming out, other things he had said comments about seeing a body floating down outside of the ritz karl ton hotel, widely disputed. there wasn't enough water to even allow that according to the hotel manager, talked to a police officer stationed on canal street saying there's no there was a body floating down. >> that's true people tell tall tales but we've got to hold journalist at a different standard. i say that to you before how social media can hold journalists accountable, that's theoretical but this is a real life example. because we heard a soldier have him misspeak. >> a misstatement a lie, factually incorrect, how do you do that with that person not coming back and saying who are you to talk to me about this? >> that's the heart of this issue and that's why people at nbc news who do take this very seriously are so upset. >> i had a person at nbc say to me i can never trust him again. we have short-term memories but i wonder. >> i feel for the guy for the drastic turn of events his life suddenly taken and family everybody involved. horrifically sad. brian stelter, appreciate you being on and marisa guthrie. how what else have jived with the facts and the rundown of that, plus the news that has fans say it ain't so. jon stewart leaving the daily show. details on that next. daughter: do you and mom still have money with that broker? dad: yeah, 20 something years now. thinking about what you want to do with your money? daughter: looking at options. what do you guys pay in fees? dad: i don't know exactly. daughter: if you're not happy do they have to pay you back?

new alka-seltzer plus day powder rushes relief to your worst cold symptoms plus chest congestion. oh, what a relief it is. here we go! the investigation of brian williams not ended with the announcement of his sixth month suspension from "nbc nightly news." it's ongoing wide ranged not just his discredited iraq war story but some of the other stories he's been telling over the years. we touched on it briefly a few moments ago. more now from our randi kaye. >> here at the super dome as we left there tonight, the first signs of restlessness. >> reporter: on the ground in new orleans, tales of dead bodies, dysentery wild gains. and a closer look at brian williams reporting. in a 2006 interview, the "nbc nightly news" anchor shared this. >> when you look out of your hotel room window in the french kwaurt and watch a man float by face down -- >> reporter: how can that be? others claim the french quarter remained mostly dry. the former general manager of the ritz karl ton hotel stayed during the storm said to the newspaper there's no physical way the water was deep enough for a body to float in. recalling just six to eight inches of water on the first floor. some pictures show streets underwater but it's still unknown exactly how deep the water was. in a documentary about katrina, he heard a story of a man taking his life in the super dome but told predecessor tom broka goes beyond the suicide. >> we all watched as one man commitd suicide. >> reporter: that story surrender investigation by nbc news. including his account about getting sick from sewage water while reporting on hurricane katrina. author douglas brink lee quotes saying he was fading in and out and that the hotel was on lockdown to keep out armed gangs. >> our hotel was overrun with gangs. >> reporter: the washington post reports that three different people told reporters no gangs had infiltrated the ritz carlton. the israel war with militant hezbollah is under scrutiny. he spoke of rockets flying beneath his helicopter. >> there were katusha rockets underneath. >> reporter: but earlier, no mention of that close call. only that there was activity on the ground and that a rocket launch six miles away. all of this came long after the incident in iraq now in question. from march 26, 2003. in his first report no mention of a rocket-propelled grenade attacking his helicopter. >> on the ground we learn the shi nook ahead of us almost blown out of the sky. >> reporter: but ten years later, williams told david letterman his was one of two army choppers hit. >> rpg and ak-47? >> reporter: rpg and ak-47 or nothing at all? that remains for the nbc investigators to figure out. randi kaye, cnn, new york. >> whether the six month suspension should leave the department from the nbc news a scientific angle. how the human brain creates memories and sometimes turns them into false memories not saying that's what happened here but happens with a number of people and memories. university of illinois professor dan psi mons, coauthor of the invisible gorilla how intuition deceives us and john diaz who has a simple bottom line for brian williams fire him. john you said flat out brian williams should not keep his job. i wonder what you think of this six month suspension and whether it's just a precursor of him being let go. >> a couple things anderson. first of all, the punishment is severe. but i also think it's appropriate. really the gravity of this breach of journalism et igs, i suspect he's not going to come back as the face of the nbc news division nor should he as managing editor. all of us understand journalists, anderson that at the point of entry, this is something fabricating information, simply cannot be done. you would get fired from this in the smallest market in the united states. >> well there's no doubt about it. dan, brian williams said he misremembered. a lot of people scoff at the idea of misremembering, what does that actually mean does he misremember what happened in the helicopter in iraq but what you know of this story and your work on memory issues are you inclined to believe him? because clearly nbc thought it was something very serious here. >> i think it's interesting. it's hard to separate from a single episode, whether somebody is misremembering or fabricating. it could be a false memory. many hallmarks of a false america memory and we know from decades of research our memories can be distorted over time especially for traumatic and emotional memories get distorted in the retelling. whether it was a false memory or lie, doesn't excuse from responsibility. a journalist -- >> should be aware of how fallible memory is. >> yeah. exactly. journalists covered memory fails by politics over the years. largely on the basis of mistaken memory. so given that awareness, memory is just one of many sources and you have to corroborate your sources. memory is not a particularly reliable one. >> what makes me skeptical on that, dan, is that all of these, whether misremembered incidences or stories or lies they all basically kind of bolster brian williams standing it's not as if he was telling stories that undercut him or make him look bad, it was all of a certain similar core to all of them. all about, i'm in a danger zone. i'm a brave guy. >> yeah well if you think about it what our memory for us is to predict the future but it's basically a story about our past. it's how we make sense of our lives and you are the center point of that story. so if you're going to have a distorted memory most likely it's going to make you look better. and that is completely in keeping with this and it's possible this is a serial pattern but it's also possible he's making himself the center of his memories over time. that's not inconsistent with what we know about false memory. >> john do you -- >> anderson if i could add a point. first of all, i do not buy this was a false memory. i would certainly be much more forgiving if it were a soldier with multiple tours in iraq but let's say it was. in this journalism profession you don't do stories base on memory even involved yourself. you look at the archives the original story. it would be the height of irresponsibility for brian williams to go on the air with something based on his memory. yeah you tell stories maybe if you're in a tavern or family gathering based on memory but not the "nbc nightly news." >> i've also got to say, john the iraq story, even when it was initially told it was written very tightly, so that to a casual listener it might have sounded as if he was in this convoy that was fired upon. even in the original telling, he didn't say, an rpg hit my helicopter. the way it was written, it was written tightly, i thought. >> i agree and anderson one of the things that i think is really one of the casualties of this whole mess is not just for nbc news but for the journalism profession in general because so many people are so distrustful of institutions generally in the united states and we certainly see that in the news business that i think a lot of journalists including myself are pretty upset that this even happened and certainly the onus is on nbc news to correct it. >> dan, for people out there who -- >> sure go ahead. >> i was just going to say i think john is right, there's a responsibility to the truth here and the key point is that relying on a memory exclusively is not a good idea because we know memories can be false. whether or not he was deliberately self-grandizing, making himself look better or whether it was a failure of memory entirely possible it doesn't excuse using this as a primary and sole source for what happened especially when there's documentary evidence there but i think there's also a danger in quickly jumping to the conclusion because something got wrong, they must be deliberately lying. it might well have been a false memory and that's something we know from decades of established science that's entirely possible. again, doesn't excuse it. just a possible mechanism for why he might make up stories about himself. >> how easy is it to make a false memory? i have seen people planted show as a child in a hot air balloon, they weren't and a number of people believed oh i was in a hot air balloon. so how prone is memory to suggestion? or hope or wishes? >> it's remarkably prone to suggestion. it's remarkably prone to suggestion because our memory isn't like a dvd recording of what we experienced. it's every time we retell it it's improvisation on a theme. like a child's game of telephone with itself and gradually get distorted over time. there's a study about to come out in psychological science, one of the major journals in our field showing it's possible to get college undergraduates falsely remember getting a felony that involved contact with the police theft or assault with a weapon. 70% of undergrads through repeated recalls believed they had actually committed a crime. it's not that hard to induce false memories. >> john to your point, there were other people involved. camera crews with brian williams producers with brian wilz and other people at nbc news who were aware of stuff that was going on what had been said in the past. so i think it's important to surround yourself with people who challenge you, who, you know will say to you, i don't care if you're the anchor of the nightly news what you're saying is wrong and doesn't seem like anybody was doing that with brian williams. >> i find it inexplicable nobody said hey, brian, this isn't exactly how it came down. anderson if i could make one quick counterpoint to what the professor was saying about how susceptible people are to false memories i would want to separate there the average person from a trained journalist. anderson you've been around the world covering stories. when you're really in the middle of a profound event, you document it most journalists would write about it. certainly brian williams had a video of that that was archived. >> right. >> i just find it i think journalists are trained to remember things in a more specific way, detailed way, than the average person. i do not buy it with brian williams. >> but dan -- >> document to their memories. >> dan, that's the thing. there is documentation. there's video evidence. there's notebooks from back then. if you're going to tell a story, you need to consult back at the video, you can't just rely on your, the way you seem to have remembered it. >> i agree completely. >> fascinating discussion. coming up next what we learn about jon stewart's surprising announcement tonight. a lot of tv changes suddenly. bill carter joins us next. the bed reacts to your body. it hugs you. it's really cool to the touch. this zips off so i can wash it-yes, please. (vo) visit your local retailer and feel the tempur-pedic difference for yourself. breaking news tonight. jon stewart is leaving "the daily show," comedy central later this year. the statement from the network, the fact we're calling this breaking news is the sort of thing "the daily show" likes to make fun of but it's big news to fans everyone in this program included. hosted for 15 years, hilariously skewering politicians at every turn. we could play any clip of the daily show and invariably most likely be funny. we go from the bit where stewart addressed the brian williams story. >> why? why? why, bri? why bri lie? sigh. were you bri high? because if they keep finding [ bleep ], bri bye. >> joining me now on the phone carter. the new york times for 25 years. bill good to have you on the program. you say jon stewart was mulling his future at the daily show for a while now. >> his contract was up at the end of this year and he talked about it a lot thinking seriously about leaving. a lot of people think that's a negotiating ploy you know? when your contract is up but i know jon and i knew he was serious. you know he feels like he's done it all at that show. won ten straight emmy awards, hosted the oscars twice. i think he's the kind of guy who looks at his future and think, what else can i do? i think that's why he made the decision now. >> clearly, he's interested and a talented guy. he could go in a lot of different directions. the accomplishments he has, you talk about some of the awards and stuff but just the importance of the daily show in the national discussion i don't think can be overstated. certainly the last ten years or so. >> no no question. and many younger people younger americans have looked at that as their newscast. i mean they obviously, jon is make comedy and will always say to him, are you a journalist no i'm a comedian but he really had impact on a lot of stories and especially for younger viewers, they look to him to sort of explain the news for them and boy, if you go on the wrong side of the daily show it was not good for you if you're a politician. >> beyond politicians and the media, championed causes back in 2010 a bill to benefit 9/11 responders big priority on his show and i want to play a short clip from that. >> before we go i want to talk one last time about something called the zadroga bill. an nypd detective who died in 2005 thought to be caused by working at ground zero in 2001. this bill would provide $7 billion in medical and financial benefits for ground zero workers who get sick and they're going to pay for it by closing a corporate tax loophole. it's a win win win win, just [ bleep ] do it. >> that bill ended up passing later this year. he did have an impact or later that year i should say. it's not clear who's going to replace him. "the daily show" is a big moneymaker for comedy central. it's going to stay on the air. >> people forget it was on the air before jon. jon was not the first. it's a franchise for them. he expanded and he just gave them so much value and raised the profile of that network single handedly. south park obviously a big factor too but brought stephen colbert and the other talents, steve carrell. all the talent he brought to the american culture. he will be enormously missed and i really feel for the person that tries to replace him. >> yeah i do want to ask you about brian williams also. what's your reaction to the news of the six month suspension. >> >>i'm really sad. i'm friends with brian. thought he did a good job. obviously this was a really indefensible situation. i think nbc put it that way tonight in a statement. you couldn't really find a reason why this was justifiable and they apparently have found some other instances. that's what i feared for that because i thought if they find that brian is, you know a serial embellishers that puts a bad light on him. i don't think anything he did on the newscast was necessarily bad but i do think credibility is a huge factor in those jobs and, you know i would hope he can do something to restore it because i think he's a good guy and good at his job. >> his apology that misstate things. >> that was a mistake. the only thing he could do there was abjectly announcing how inexplicable it was and he didn't do that which i think is a mistake. >> do you think it's a six month suspension? >> for the moment i guess it is. we have to see how it plays out because, you know, will there be more to be revealed? will they decide, you know we've got to move on without this guy? will the network take a tumble now without him? can he be rehabilitated? i don't know the answers to that. i wouldn't jump to conclusions. i think everybody tries to jump to conclusions but i do think we have i have sympathy. this is not the worst thing a person has ever done and i think he's been subjected to a kind of lynch mob in the media, a little bit over the top but certainly, you can't make excuses for it. so i would not, i just don't want to foreclose anything. i think it's a very bad situation though for him and nbc. >> it certainly leaves options on the table for nbc to see how this plays out. bill carter thank you very much. : ahead breaking news in an ongoing police investigation. what they're focusing on in the sad case of bobbi kristina brown, whitney houston's daughter.
