i had a colleague who was thrown out of pakistan last year, and i was chased out of there a few years ago when i was at the "journal," less officially. one thing that makes it hard there is the level of mistrust and conspiracy theory among the pakistan public that when the news media or government officials call you a spy, it can be harder to recover from that and work safely in pakistan again. in afghanistan, that has not been the case. i think they call this evil -- the evil "new york times," they called me a spy in gauged in espionage. the reaction as far as we can tell has mostly been scorn. it is like on social media, it is split between crazies on either side. that is probably a good sign. i will probably work there safely again. look, i would love to go back. after six years there, to be missing this kind of final event drives you nuts. but we will see what happens. i will take the candidates at their word now. >> any regrets about the articles? >> no, not at all, not one bit. it is a bit of a bummer to be thrown out of the country for a story that ran on page a7, but it happen

at the most they wanted to run afghanistan, maybe pakistan in their own 14th seasontureleyy kind of way. al qaeda we fought them but what are they trying to do? terrorist acts. but they are not looking to have a bigger run the world agenda. isis does. it's the on one of these territories that we fought that wants to control territory. they want to be a nation state. they are calling themselves the caliphate, the nation state. they have controlled large parts of syria and iraq. they want to spread through the entire region. they have said jordan and lebanon are next. they want all the resources of a wealthy nation state, oil, military and they want to take over the world and they will kill anyone in their way. they will behead christian priests and mongs. christians, jews and their own fellow muslims. eric: there are reports of beheading young children and putting their heads on sticks in parks. what's also chilling the leader of the group, we had him in custody in 2004. he's in custody and what does he say to us reportedly?

foreign nationals living in britain or british citizens who returned from terrorist training camps in pakistan or elsewhere around the world. but what we are facing in iraq in isil is a great and deeper threat 0 our security than we have known before. in afghanistan the taliban were prepared to play host to al qaeda, the terrorist organization. with isil we are facing a terrorist organization not being hosted in a country but actually seeking to establish and then violently expand its own terrorist state. and with designs on expand something jordan and lebanon up to the turkish border we could be facing a terrorist state on the shores of the mediterranean. we cannot apiece this ideology. we have to confront it at home and abroad. we knees a tough and intelligent and comprehensive approach to defeat the terrorist threat at its source. tough in we need a firm security response whether that is action to go after the terrorists, international cooperation on intelligence and counterterrorism and uncompromising measures against terrorists at home. but it must also be an intelligent political respons

what was your dad doing in pakistan? >> my dad was working on projects with local industries in pakistan, helping them to improve, to produce more, and to -- that their goods would have more value in the global economy. so he was working with people on the ground. he would be at those projects, traveling all over the country to those projects all the time. he was just zooming back and forth. all the people that worked with him remarked on what incredible energy he had and how he just worked all day and late into the night. he was so passionate and devoted to his work. he cared so much about helping these industries to improve and to creating more opportunities for everyday people in pakistan. >> jennifer, we were just looking at some pictures of your dad holding a baby. and there is a beautiful little baby on his shoulders. i can only imagine what it's like for him to be missing out on all of these family milestones. >> it's been really difficult for us and as a family and for my kids. to try to explain to them why he is

pakistan. we had the taliban, we had al qaeda and afghanistan. al qaeda moved into pakistan in the winter of 2002, embedded itself in '02, '03 in the travel areas of pakistan. the past 11 years, we've been locking and loading with drones and no boots on the ground in pakistan. i was listening to what barbara starr said. i guarantee already there are task forces at the pentagon and cia who already have targets sets in syria and are watching through intelligence the flow of fighters coming across the border. that target set exists already. the last thing i'd say, i'll bet you a paycheck that the decision to go in has already been made. they're just setting us up for it. >> fran, do you think that as well? you've been in these rooms as well. >> no, absolutely. and by the way, just because you may not have u.s. boots on the ground or u.s. targetieres on the ground, you've been working with your foreign intelligence committees, there are people on the ground that you can trust, you can train, and th

they did it like in pakistan to kill bin laden. you go in literally under the radar and make it happen. but it's interesting, you talk about fitting in the narrative. this new relationship with syria. it also fits the facts on the ground at the end of the day isis is the bigger threat than the assad regime so hasn't changed the administration's decision-making but it is changing the calculus on the ground, more of a threat to the u.s. homeland and have a totally new view. >> without human intelligence on the ground there's only so much one can do from the air without, you know, someone with a -- >> the real question is who holes the ground once it's taken. can you use bombing to take a lot of territory, but you can't hold it unless you've got boots on 9 ground. somebody's boots and what our reporting at "the daily beast," a lot of those forces that we might rely on, the free syrian army that we sometimes train, sometimes fund, sometimes don't or the curds that were supposed to be the greatest fighters in the middle east aren't up t

i agree that compared to what i witnessed in places like pakistan or saudi arabia, somali, this is complex because international borders have been erased, the number of people who are involved, 100 plus americans, which might be a low estimate. in my old world at the fbi, watching kids like this come home, that's an incredibly high number of people to follow. the reason i'm skeptical, look, we've been at this 13 years. the blue team, the americans, the brits, the home team, we're a lot better too, we've learned a lot about how these guys communicate. we've hardened borders and hardened cockpit doors in aircraft to keep them safe. we've worked with parents like the jordanians and the turks to keep kids if going out and flag them when they do move back through western europe. we've figured out intelligence tools to target these people on the battle field. so, yeah, this is really complicated. it's different than what i witnessed in 20-plus years of following terrorists, but we're pretty good too. i would say if i were in washington, you got to relax a little, and the message to the american

has been accused of secretly sort of funding these jihadist groups, other governments have done it, pakistan kind of helps the taliban. so how do they have the influence to get curtis freed without paying any ransom? are they lying about paying a ransom? they were able to get about a dozen nuns released that were also help by al nusra. again, curtis was held by a group aligned with al qaeda, but somehow qatar gets him out. and i'm just -- it's very -- it's terrible when these governments have these double games when they work with jihadists on one hand and you know, deny it -- >> and arguably, you could say, well, look, they have some influence if they're the unwithes funding these jihadists. at the same time, it's hard to see how they would make a deal without more money being passed or some other kind of deal. >> these groups, i saw it in my case, they spend lots of money feeding the hostage, they spend manpower, all these guards, they move the hostage around to different areas, controlled by different commanders. so they can't just give up the hostage and have nothing to show, clearly for

they are spread out across the world and cities, not isolated in remote areas like afghanistan and pakistan. is this why so many counterterrorism officials and people like hagel seem so alarmed and concerned? >> well, they are alarmed on a couple levels. one is isis is much bigger than the 10 to 15,000 people we keep hearing. they are supported by the tribes and eastern syria by the tribes, not all of them, some of them and by the sunni middle class. we're seeing a sunni rising. they are going to use them until they don't need them anymore. additionally, they have seized gold. they have got the old fields. they have got wheat production. they are part of a tigerous river. they are self-sustaining. if we think isis will go away in six months, i think we're badly mistaken. if we have to go in and destroy them, which is possible, our military can do it, will they take revenge against the united states and i think it's almost certain, although they don't have a track record so far of international terrorism. >> thank you so much. >>> just ahead, did president obama misfire with his messages whe

drone strikes in pakistan and yemen have killed dozens of civilians there. is there any weapon out there that can accurately pinpoint an enemy? >> well, you know, a weapon is only as good as the people guiding it. and a weapon has a certain lethality to it. when you fire into a car, you're going to take out more than the car. you're going take out something like 100 meters. the united states has developed a smaller weapon that we use in urban combat. well developed this for iraq where you can drop an area weapon that destroys a house rather than a city block. i don't know if the israelis have that technology. but that's certainly something we could be using in gaza. >> so you think this is going to happen? >> i think hamas has been beaten up pretty badly, and they don't hold very many cards right now. that's the only reason they're agreeing to this. the israelis feel that they have achieved much of their objective. and the fact that the israelis are allowed to still go after these tunnels during a truce tells me that hamas is really under the gun. >> and the

i've been in earthquakes in haiti and china and pakistan, and i have to tell you, some of those areas do look like an earthquake zone. so the rebuilding process will be immense. but all eyes here as i'm sure in israel are actually on cairo and on those negotiations at the moment because although the missiles aren't in the air, there is plenty of mistrust and even hatred in the air. the question is, can the two sides find some mutual interest? can they make this truce stick because the last one, of course, did not. it only lasted 72 hours. and if they do come even close to a deal, can they make the deal stick? so the challenges are absolutely immense. one of the challenges, of course, rebuilding. the price rof rebuilding here i about $6 billion. what i saw today was, i don't know how you'd calculate it because the destruction here is immense. one of the sticking points is concrete. the israelis want guarantees the concrete that might come in here won't be used to build more tunnels. obviously the palestinians need concrete to rebuild this shattered slice of land. so the challenges ahea
