the way we work together with the intelligence committee with law enforcement, i don t know how it can be better in a case like this. this was not the first threat after 9/11. there were a series of ter rerot activities that fbi and cia have stopped. some of the cases like this one we share because it was important for the american people to know that what the country is doing was to keep them safe, not to spy on them. and i believe that if it were not for the 702 program that this attack would have happened. without the receipt of those initial e-mails, there would have been a very devastating attack that would occurred in new york city. i am 100% certain about that. the zazi case was the highlight of my fbi career. ....
New york shattering. if not america shattering. the way we work together with the intelligence committee with law enforcement, i don t know how it can be better in a case like this. this was not the first threat after 9/11. there were a series of terrorist activities that fbi and cia have stopped. some of the cases like this one we share because it was important for the american people to know that what the country is doing was to keep them safe, not to spy on them. and i believe that if it were not for the 702 program that this attack would have happened. without the receipt of those initial e-mails, there would have been a very devastating attack that would occurred in new york city. i am 100% certain about that. the zazi case was the highlight of my fbi career. there is not a lot of cases ....
It s always about capabilities as well. we know that we have degraded the ability of al qaeda and isis to do operations overseas. the concern is always about those who are already here. and whether or not they decide to go and get in the game as it were. lone wolfs. lone wolfs, exactly. what we saw in chelsea, what we saw in san bernardino, what we saw in pulse nightclub, even the marathon bomber. so we know that inspire magazine says this is an excellent target, take it upon yourself do that. the only benefit is these guys don t normally have that type of training and their trade craft is pretty bad so they get picked up usually before anything happens. so you re looking for warning signs. what might those be that you get ahead of time that you can discuss? people looking at what is the intel saying, what are inform t informants telling you. who has noticed different things. you have to prep for this so you have to get munitions together. for example, there s a zazi case yea ....
So, katy, what do you make of the comments of peter king over the weekend? i think it s a little ridiculous for peter king to suggest that essentially the blood of americans would be on the hands of rand paul simply because rand paul is addressing an issue that polling shows many americans are concerned about. an independent review showed that, you know, in the sa doesn t necessarily need to be collecting all data from every single american cell phone to prevent terrorist attacks. not to mention a federal judge a couple weeks ago saying he thinks it is unconstitutional and the government hasn t given enough proof to show they need the program and mass collection of data to prevent terrorist attacks. peter king wants to run for president. if he is going to tell americans that their privacy concerns shouldn t be addressed when it comes to the nsa, then he will have a real problem with that. martha: i think one of 9 things that needs to be spelled out more clearly is how effective the p ....
Intelligence picture that we need. and once again we re talking about a global threat here, involves many countries, countries working together, the united states and britain as they mentioned with the zazi case. so i ve heard there may be dozens of cases, and there may be more than 20 countries involved. we won t know until the general tells us that, but very, very important for the american people. bill: peter, i m seeing a list of four witnesses, i ve been told there may be as many as six, we ll see in a moment, but general keith alexander has a long and storied history, and it is very credible with any of the members of the government that we speak to. peter, hang on one moment. this is mike rogers, he heads up the committee, the republican on that committee, let s listen. that congress has provided to the executive branch since the terrorist attacks of september 11th, 2001. i d also like to recognize the hard work of the men and women of the nsa and the rest of the intelligence ....
