The death of an american held hostage by al qaeda is prompting a major review. Its giving further urgency with how the government communicates with the families of u. S. Hostages. President obama apologized this week after american aid worker Warren Weinstein was killed in a u. S. Drone strike in a remote part of pakistan. Also killed was an italian hostage jiavanny lo porto. Mark albert is in our washington bureau. They say they operate drone strikes where civilians wont be harmed but its a possibility in that part of the world. At an address on friday president obama again expressed his condolences to the family of Warren Weinstein, the humanitarian worker held prisoner in al qaeda for the past years. We all grieve when any life is taken. Wi dont take this work lightly. Reporter the president has ordered a review of the failed intelligence operation and spokesman josh earnest said one idea is a fusion cell across the government to respond to americans taken hostage in the future. Sort of optimize the integrationhe efforts of the hostage but also to streamline communication with the hostages family. Reporter in a statement weinsteins family did not question the drone strike itself but did question why some help from, quote, elements of the u. S. Government was inconsistent and disappointing. The question that is raised by this tragic incident is what kinds of changes if any to our policies and procedures can ensure that we are better striking the balance between taking the actions, using the capacities that we have to protect the American People with the need to live up to the high standards that the president has established and that the American People expect. Reporter several days after the january strike another drone attack killed an american born al qaeda member adam would them knowing. Apparently the United States didnt know who it was killing until weeks after the fact. White house spokesman josh earnest was asked if anyone would be discipline order fired due to the deaths of the two hostages. He said the people involved lived up to and abided by the policies and procedures in place. Anthony . Mark albert in washington. Thanks, mark. For more on u. S. Drone policy were joined by security analyst juan zarate. Hes in our washington bureau. As a former security adviser in the Bush Administration george w. Administration hes still bounds by some secrecies of the story. Good morning, juan. Good morning, anthony. What is the intelligence base that would order this . The president has ordered a near certainty standard but also request respect to the target and so that means, anthony, that those who are looking for al qaeda Senior Leaders and targets have to compile enough information to assure themselves that they are hitting an al qaeda contact. Whoever the official is making the decision, enough confidence that youre hitting the rate target. I want to ask you about the statement from the family. They say while they praise certain personnel members in the fbi, they said overall other parts of the government, the support was exact disappointing. What does that comment really mean . Are the cia and fbi working together . Is there integration . There is integration, but there are challenges in communicating with the families, and i think the u. S. Government has dropped the ball on occasion in terms of how they communicate with the families. This is a complaint youve heard not just from the weinstein families but those affected by the crises as well. The challenge for the u. S. Government is they cant know everything theyre doing to try to secure the release of the family members. On the other hand family members want more information and deserve it. And so theres a real tension there thats hard to bridge but i think thats going to be one part of this hostage policy review that will see some changes in the coming weeks. Juan, theres obviously been a debate from the beginning. Does its effectiveness against al qaeda make this a necessary risk . Unfortunately, anthony, ily is a real balance here between the risk of action and the risk of inaction and there is never going to be perfect information about everything happening on the ground in places like western pakistan or yemen or somalia or north africa where al qaeda is taking advantage of the safe haven and where we do not have a physical presence. So information will never be perfect and the reality is that these kinds of targeted strikes have taken very senior members of al qaeda off the battlefield and i think have kept america safe. Quickly, juan, i want to ask you, do you think of this as a new tactic where theyre taking hostages . Its something to think of vinita. Al qaeda has certainly been taking hostages. Thats not new to them. Theyve made it an industry in north africa to the tune of tens of millions of dollars. To have hostages like this with leaders in western pakistan is somewhat unusual and you may wonder if theyre starting to use hostages not just as bait for ransom and propaganda reasons but for human shields. Thanks so much. Italians this morning are holding nine alleged terrorists following raids in various part os testify country tapping a long investigation.

The defense will say holmes was insane, but they may be in for a tough fight from prosecutors. Barry petersen has more. Reporter it has been almost three years since the shooting and the arrest of james holmes. The passing time might help holmes since it allows abe ger at the shooting to diminish but it can also work against him says university of denver assistant professor nancy leone. During that time the resentment can build. It may be about the fact that they havent had an opportunity to heal or have closures as a result of the trial. Reporter the defense is not going to contest that holmes was the shooter. Instead they will try to argue that he was insane, that he did not know right from wrong when he pulled the trigger. To counter that the prosecution will show how holmes carefully ing ingbuying weapons and ammunition and even practicing at a shooting range. Does that help or hurt . If the defendant did something that just seemed so outlandish, that just didnt make sense, there was no logical explanation for it then its more likely to not have a reason by insanity verdict. Reporter in a surprising twist two of the jurors were involved in the columbine shooting. Jessica is a jury consultant. I think the prosecutor is in the better shape than the defense is with him. I would be more concerned on the defense side. I would be worried that he may suffer some ptsd during the trial. His memories would come flooding back. Correct.
