you couldn't go to the cia and if you had been able to walk the halls of the cia, most of the analysts believe whether it was cooked or exaggerated by their higher ups that the evidence pointed to wmds. new york's editor note too many credulous claims of saddam and iraq. made a mistake of not putting more skeptical stories on the front page. even people who ran the news organization seem to acknowledge that they had fallen short. >> indeed, far more than we could have done. i was in iraq for the six months leading up to the war. what you couldn't do is get an independent assessment you could, but, howie, not just the issue of weapons of mass destruction. the broader question. what is the political transition plan. the white house's claim physical iraq could pay for it, the reconstruction of its country. the questions of the long simmering tensions between the principal and religious and ethnic groups in the country. these were questions that were all easily reportable and should have had more coverage and we didn't do enough in really aggressively looking at all of that. >> but then on

a federal appeals court has unanimously reversed a lower court decision that allowed the cia to deny that it had any documents about the drone program. nbc news justice correspondent pete williams is in washington, d.c. he is following this story closely for us. what can you tell us? >> this is a three judge panel of the d.c. court of appeals. it says the cia can't simply refuse to say that it can't confirm or deny that it has any kind of records. the court said that position has been completely undercut by public statements about the drone program made by the president, made by leon panetta when he was director of the cia, and john brennan when he was the white house counter terrorism adviser. the court says that given these acknowledgement that's the u.s. has participated, it doesn't make any sense for the cia to say that it would reveal anything that is not already in the public domain, to at least say it has an intelligence interest. then here's a statement from what the court said today. it that those statements make it implausible that the cia does not possess a single document

on our team after a bruising confirmation hearing john brennan is officially sworn in to leave the cia but when it came time to take the oath of office he used a constitution draft that was missing the bill of rights that story straight ahead . in the u.s. loves to use drones overseas but more and more american police departments are turning to them back home now congress is demanding information on the domestic drone program at that issue coming up. plus you have the right to record police officers the new ruling says citizens can video police and use that footage in court we'll tell you what this means for citizen rights. it's monday march eleventh four pm in washington d.c. i'm meghan lopez and you're watching r.t. . well after a contentious confirmation hearing john brennan is officially taking over as director of the cia he took over on friday brennan was sworn in by vice president joe biden with a few in attendance the media was not invited to attend the event and only a few pictures came out from the white house photographer but the secrecy of the ceremony is not what has critic

also the military has to answer to other agencies and people unlike the cia this means that the drone program would be more accountable you see the cia's drone program is covertly while the military's program is clear and best dime covert means that it has the brits and deniable under law which means they can do whatever they want basically glenn death dying means the correct but not deniable under law which means if someone gets those with the military is up to or at the military is somehow exposed they have to come out to their secret in other words cia equals secrets and can lie military equals the brits no care of law and i totally trust that semantic difference don't you so this whole moving to drone program completely over to the military is just a gosh darn good thing to help the program become more transparent and on the up enough i'm sure it is nothing to do with the fact that this whole merging idea with created by john brennan the new cia director who might be wanting to take some of the heat off of this the i.a.e.a. by distancing itself from the controversial drone program

if it is true that the new cia director doesn't think the cia should be killing people with drones, that the military should be doing it instead, that's a big deal. but you know what would be a bigger deal? is if the president agreed with that. should we see the president's nomination of john brennan to run the cia as a sign that the president agrees with that and that that change is going to happen? >> i believe so. >> the nomination of john brennan should be seen as a sign that president obama may take drones out of the hands of the cia and put them under the control of the military. that would make drone strikes like normal war and not the secretive, unaccountable, denied truth that they are right now. if that is what this nomination means, and this nomination goes forward by the end of the week, our whole country is going to change in terms of how accountable our current war is to we, the people, to whom it is supposed to be accountable. exclamation point. >>> now it's time for "the last word with lawrence o'donnell." have a great night. >>> a couple of hours ago, bill o'reilly reall

prevailed over him so the question now is how obama how is he going to buy your act the cia effort in syria again is the backdrop of the war in afghanistan the war against terror and others so it's a very very tough test for obama and he should get more involved and more engaged in syria otherwise it could be to climb into his presidency if things do to cure rate ok dan should there be more western intervention in syria but before answer that i also want to relate to what the earlier totally. false claims are the are not even worth. mentioning but still israel has peace with egypt as well as peace with jordan israel on the verge of reestablishing negotiations with the palestinians of course of the syrian responsible regime comes into power i'm sure that israel will be. interested in in gauging in a dialogue to see if the pieces is it is possible i do is really. to deal with your focus on circulation talking about bills comments regarding. the bill or about the u.s. role in this i think it's absolutely critical in essential that u.s. steps up its efforts aiding the opposition. supplyin

is very internal to the cia. it's a little bit more closed and there are fewer of those kind of checks and balances that you have with the pentagon. so the thinking here is that this is a way at least within the government to increase the checks and balances and increase the degree of at least internal transparency around the drone process. >> bill: and there seems to be even around the pentagon there are more -- i guess -- there are stricter standards and guidelines about when and where drones can be used? >> i think that's right. >> bill: of course we don't know a lot about the program at either program, right? >> that's right. and it's not like the military's program is transparent or non-secretive. i think the biggest difference when the military decides to put someone on this list there is this process across the government that goes on that does not take place when the cia does the same thing. >> bill: we have been told by jay carney that the questions raised by rand paul and others about drones and ron wid
