and iraq about to face a big test. the iraqi prime minister,

movie about his wife grace who died in iraq. the movies come and are flopped with few exceptions. "the hurt locker" is one of the lowest grosing best picture movies. audiences have made it clear they are not friday in war movies with one or two exceptions like "act of valor", and hollywood wanted to do this, but the world it different today. john houston made movies during the world war ii. they were soup revved by the army because they dealt with ptsd too provocatively. there was a lot of cases. we had a different world where things could be controlled. we'll hear more. there's many documentaries that we haven't talked about. again, they are out there. they are on netflix, on the internet. few are phenomenon. it's the market. people are not interested. >> they don't seem to have an appetite for them. >> what do you see as the biggest misconceptions that directors and producers have of wars and soldiers before they get to work consulting on the projects. >> again, they don't understand the calibre or the individuals in the milit

when i was in iraq in 2004 - i spent four months there - i was doing post-blast investigations. we go to the scene of a bombing, an i.e.d. attack, we scour the scene for make, type, design and signature of the bomb make e. there was combined explosive sell, sexy, and they were bringing the pieces together, cataloguing them, looking for physical evidence that may be attached to them, including fingerprints, dna and otherwise. that's been catalogued in a 100,000 device warehouse. outside washington is where the repository is held. it's where the devices are. they go back in to look for additional evidence. they had a fingerprint, went back to the period in time, to the physical locations and proximity and linked a fingerprint to this. >> it has to be a massive investigation. why weren't these guys arrested. why did the f.b.i. leave them out there. they had gotten the video tape tying them together a year into the investigation. why not arrest them, instead of having al-qaeda bombers on the loose in the united states. >> sometimes it's better to have them on a leash and tight surve

iraq has a terrorism problem. back when we had the violence like this five years ago, it was multifaceted. you had mortars, gun fire, i.e.d.s - there were six different ways to get killed in baghdad. now it's car bombs, other different characters. all al qaeda focussing on discrediting the government. >> it seems the u.s. comes into a country, sets up a government, pulls out and the country collapses. what responsibility does the u.s. have in these cases? >> it has some. i contest that iraq is falling like a house of cards. it appears like that to someone not following closely. we can't stay there forever. the real bill for us is not the relatively paltry $5 billion we'll give to the afghans to maintain their army, it will be the $25 billion it will cost us to maintain their army. that's where the real money will be. it's maintaining themselves. we need to question if we will spend that kind of money. in both case, to give them diplomatic support, selling them weapons or in afghanistan's case to underwrite the pur

that certainly they are ceasing construction at that very controversial heavy water nuclear plant in iraq in the islamic republic of iran. that was a contentious issue whether or not that will satisfy the hawks who are deeply concern that the b biproducts that come from that plant plutonium in particular whether or not the gestation of this six month period will be accepted or condemned by those hawks and the hard-liners we'll have to wait and see. that is a huge issue to have been dealt with as well. there is just an awful lot here that we are going through in this agreement. and it's particularly interesting to note also, johnathan, that while we have been watching the iranian foreign minister and the president of the united states we have seen other figure any -- dignitaries come in. the british foreign secretary has arrived here. there is an awful lot of heavy hitters in the building this evening or morning. this obviously is an agreement which has been hard won and these diplomats are now making the rounds and having now to prone thipresent this to the wod their own constituencies. j

the iranians basically have really huge amount of influence if not control in iraq. i just don't see your point at all. i think that the--it's a very, very advanced program in iran. everybody agrees with that, i don't know how you think that you're going to stop the iranian nuclear program. >> and the saudis are concerned about iranian influence in iraq. >> and hezbollah and the murders that hezbollah has carried out of various diplomats throughout the region. >> and he brings up how bad the situation is in the region right now. >> and bahrain and throughout the region and lebanon. >> and they feel that the u.s. need to get involved also with respect to israel and the settlements. you wrote of all the country in the world, saudi arabia is least understood by the american people. what does that say about our future relationships with saudi arabia and where do you think we go from here? >> well, what i think that says is that this is and has always been what i call a relationship of elites. that is to say it's an arrangement that both governments and american big busin

particularly folks who got us into iraq complaining about obama doing something that could be problematic, i feel it difficult to believe to be completely frank with you. it's not about trust as the president said. what you have to do is create a deal in which the mechanism for verification is such that you can trust the verification system, so that you know that if the other side is cheating you can catch them at a very early stage. if this deal in its second phase causes the iranian thes to implement the additional protocol then we have the best and most intrusive instrument at our disposal to make sure the iranians cannot cheat. >> a lot of people are upset. the president called benjamin netanyahu to calm him down. >> understand the iranians are walking around very satisfied in geneva as well they should be because they got everything and paid nothing. they wanted relief of sanctions after years of a grueling sanction he regime, they got that. they are not there pacing in any way their weapons capability. >> the saudis are not happy, members of congress are not happy. they are giving a

he had a motto when he was in iraq, in charge of surveillance of the iraqi population against whom the united states waged war, which was, collect it all. >> what do you say to the people who are like, i don't do anything wrong, i don't care if they see my emails or hear my calls? people who say that don't actually believe it. they put locks on their bedroom and bathroom doors. every time somebody says to me, i have nothing to hide, i don't care about privacy, i always say to them, please give me all the passwords to your email accounts and your facebook account. nobody has ever taken me up on that offer because we instinctively as human beings know that we crave privacy. j. edgar hoover had information on everybody in congress and the white house. this now is information on them and everybody in the country. and everybody in the world, really. >> before edward snowden, there was william binney: a former senior official at the nsa who helped develop some of the early technology being used in the data collection programs. >> he says 9/11 was a turning point for the agency. he left his j

i remember i had one professor that said that if he was in iraq he'd probably be on the other side. and i remember just looking at him thinking i'd be in jail if i thought that. >> they're like listen we're muslim, don't tell us about the constitution, that has nothing to do with us. what do you mean it has nothing to do with us, you're american, it does have something to do with you. that breaks my heart when people say that, that that doesn't apply to us. of course it does, but it's hard for me to prove that based on the real-life experiences of people in our community and based on black and white documents. how can i stand in front of my community and say no, you're not targeted, you're not targets, you're not victims. they are, they absolutely are. >> there's a constant level of anxiety that actually on a biological basis can be very hazardous to one's health, there's also self-stigma, you begin to internalize the stigma and sometimes if you don't have a strong support system in your community, begin to think negatively about yourself, or perhaps your community. >> the nypd decl

but he doubled down on iraq and bucked the popular trend and the advice of his advisers by going for the surge and it was quite successful. president obama will really have to decide where he's going to focus his attention. i think it has to be obamacare because that's his real legacy if he's going to have one. as laura said it's about competence. he has the law passed. now he needs to implement it in a way that gains people's confidence, and he needs head winds because people don't like the mandate. >> there is the day-to-day, the big picture. >> i think he has to show himself leading on these things. thi would not be doing campaign-style speeches around the countries. i would be having meeting with the top people who are sitting there getting down to work. a lot of op-eds are continuously incorrect, and really poor when it comes to this president because every time he's criticized he goes out to the people rather than digging in to washington. >> simon, things happen. natural disasters happen. geopolitics sometimes take front and center, but what about sel self-inflicted wounds. >>
