consequently pakistan, no excuses being made for pakistan here. subsequently or consequently pakistan shelled areas that they believed was a border trace and the rounds were landing on afghans. afghans could prove that their border trace included them and pakistan was shelling sovereign afghan territory. we worked very hard with both sides to try to create measures whereby if the pakistanis saw ttp elements across the border, we would have the right of first refusal, we being isaf working in close conjunction with afghan forces would go up and get after some of these forces. bad reporting. bad intelligence on both sides made it much more difficult in really tough terrain to be able to solve this problem, but i think in many respects while that was a major issue before and it's still an issue if a single round comes flying out of pakistan and lands on afghanistan. it is a single issue and much has been done to solve that. to the point of cross border movement of terrorists and insurgent elements, we worked very hard with pakistan to create an envir

at that time they talk to pakistan that pakistan should have stood by them but despite that they save them from being bombed. intelligence organizations, think there's a lot of manipulation. afghan taliban or pakistani forces helped them. in their operations against the northern alliance that there was this control, this manipulation and some were still sympathetic to pakistan. whenever they needed the old guards help to go after pakistani taliban they didn't help them much so they responded by not coming out of the pakistani taliban. the other question and it may take a minute but that's a very profound idea. i'm not making the suggestion that from outside we use sufi-ism as a tool to tackle anything else. sufis after all there are sunni shoe -- sunni cities in shia sufis. [inaudible] they all had some common ideals which were religious which was complete nonviolence, which was always honoring them and giving them hope which was also nonenforcement. you would be surprised the biggest sufi -- is in india. you would be amazed there are times more hindus and muslims there. sufis never f

i think we've learned from the mistake in afghanistan and pakistan. obviously very different geopolitical strategic consideration. but part of our difficulty in afghanistan for so long as the enemy was running across a very porous border where we couldn't touch them or did in limited sense with drones. if we learn that lesson in iraq and syria, we'll apply similar pressure in syria. that's the heartç of isis. where they train, their headquarters elements. a lot of it is in northern syria, they projected more recently into iraq as they've tried to expand their orbit. frankly, they don't want to be confined to iraq and syria. they want to go to jordan, leban lebanon, kuwait. this administration slowly is coming to the realization that they can't sit on the sidelines. we can't lead from behind. this is an enmany i that has to be confronted. our military leaders get it. we'll see how long it takes for the president and white house to fundamentally understand that. >> better to acknowledge it before an attack than after. pete, thank you so much. >> absol

a dangerous time for pakistan's parliamentary democracy. if you look at pakistan's military interventions on numerous occasions, it is because of the changing political scenario here in pakistan, the fact that a large number of people are young, no one wants a domestic hold on the parties, and is playing into all this. however people are questioning as to what good this will do for a country that is back on the road for democracy. the military was supposed to be organising a senior commander's meeting, meeting in rawalpindi. the military was seen as the beginning of an arbitrator or mediators. the government stepped back. more would work, but everywhere will watch to see what the military has to say. the political crisis is going nowhere, and protesters are at the venue. >> thank you for that update, kamal. coming up, russia and ukraine exchange prisoners captured on each other's soil. what does it mean for the ongoing crisis. >>> plus date diplomat. >> if it's safe to be here, why haven't official come to visit us. >>> people worries as eb

pakistan, we haven't heard much bout them lately either. pakistan is a country with a nuclear arsenal of more than 100 million nuclear weapons. we know some of these groups like al qaeda would like to get their hands on some of those nuclear weapons and there has been some concern about their arsenal. i am not in the circles where they are talking about these things but i know there has been tremendous amount of concern in the last thing we want to see is have al qaeda or anyone else get their hands on a nuclear weapon. frank covered this stuff but i think the al qaeda or offshoot of them or affiliate, that threat is growing. i talked about al qaeda in the arabian peninsula in yemen. up until isis gained prominence, i would say that they were the most dangerous roup we faced. i mentioned some other plots -- the underwear plot, the printer cartridges, they have the best bomb maker. we have libya, tunisia. nd they were responsible for what happened in benghazi. igeria, we heard about them in the terrible kidnapping of these young schoolgirls.

in fact, if you look at it, i mean pakistan is a country with 200 million people. these numbers are just in the few thousands. it's not really sort of a massive protest that is coming out on the roads but a handful of people that are coming from different parts of the country and joining in islamabad although if the government mishandles it in the way they did previously, it could get out of hand. >> keeping on the situation for us please, that is our correspondent in islamabad. life in paris barack obama has expressed concern over the violent turn of events in ferguson, missouri. police using tear gas on protesters angry over the shooting of an unarmed black teen by a police officer. people run for cover at donetsk city center was struck by ukraine army shells for the first time. the russian aid convoy will not be allowed to pass its border unless it can be checked. on this five-day visit to south korea, the asian catholics growing in number, the pope calling for dialogue between north and south. it's time now for media watch, we are joined in the studio, good to

of someone that we think may be in touch with someone whose cousin may be a suspected terrorist in pakistan. and then there probably are people on that where they have actual evidence, and these are dangerous people. so part of the point, beyond the civil liberties argument, is that if your goal is to actually try to prevent acts of terrorism against the united states, you're doing a heck of a job making it more difficult to root out potential terrorists by having so many people who have no connection to terrorism in your lists. >> jeremy skahill from "the intercept," thank you very much for being here tonight. >> thank you.
