to the united states. according to the complaint filed today in the southern district of new york, he is alleged to have orchestrated a $1.5 million assassination plot with gholam shakuri and other iranian co-conspirators. now, the quds force is a unit of the iranian revolution yaer corps. it is also suspected of sponsoring attacks against the coalition forces in iraq and was designated by the department of treasury in 2007 for providing material support to the taliban and other terrorist organizations. the complaint alleges that this conspiracy was conceived, was sponsored and was directed from iran and constitutes a flagrant violation of u.s. and international law, including a convention that explicitly protects diplomats from being harmed. in addition to holding these individual conspirators accountable for their alleged role in this plot, the united states is committed to holding iran accountable for its actions. the two are charged with conspiracy to murder a foreign official, conspiracy to use a weap

it would give the united states leverage to go back to the united nations. why not in some of the other plots conducted overseas, is there some reason to do it here, would iran gain politically or was the calculation this is a place they thought they could pull it off? >> this is a radical group of people. the major story, in looking at government of iran over the last two years, is the increased radicalization of the government. ahmadinejad, believe it or not, an odious individual, is not part of the radical element in that government. the qud force, the revolutionary guards are. they are increasingly powerful. but they're isolated. most of them never traveled much around the world. and obviously, they have taken on, i think, more than they're going to be able to digest in linking the united states and saudi arabia, provoking an instantaneous crisis. it may be now that iran becomes the most important, most difficult foreign policy challenge on our agenda for president obama and his administration and the republican candidates debating tonight. these are cha

had already worked with the united states. he had been charged with -- he received drug charges in a state and in exchange for his investigation, those charges were dismissed and he has been a paid source of paid informant to the u.s. that's where the conversation started and that's where the negotiations started and it was through his contacts in mexico that he started the conversations. this confidential source informed tape recorded the conversations and the last trip that manssor makes to mexico is denied entry and is sent back to the united states. ice a naturalized u.s. citizen. he believed he was dealing with a mexican cartel. the cartel that they are referring to this is very similar to the zetas and there are former military police officers who have military training and whovil have access the high caliber weapons. they are well known for carrying out terrorist attacks and attacking civilians in mexico but there is no evidence of them carrying out attacks in the united states, such as a bomb in a restaurant to kill th

states' role, what the appropriate role for the united states is in this crisis. turning first to the intensification of the crisis, there is little doubt in my mind that we have seen substantial and very disturbing intensification of this crisis that is likely to create real problems for the united states economy in 2012. among the indications of an intensification of the crisis are first, that greece looks like it's on the cusp of defaulting. this would be the largest default, sovereign default, in history. it would involve something like $450 billion. i think that one really has to dismiss the notion that greece is a small economy. the fact that it's a small economy doesn't mean that it's highly indebted. a lot of that debt is sitting on the banks of the core countries in europe which could really have serious concerns. we have already seen contagion to portugal and ireland. if we include portugal, ireland and greece, we are talking about $1 trillion of debt, a lot of that with the banks. what is of real concern in terms of the intensification is that this cris

the rest are exported from korea to the united states. the tariff that is currently applicable to exports of u.s. stands ates to corrkorea 8%. that means if you buy $30,000 car in korea, export it from the united states, then the tariffs amount to about $2,400. tremendous. >> so that will go? >> that will go eventually. that means less expensive american cars to consumers. >> psychologically will koreans buy american cars? >> as a matter of fact, last year for in-made cars -- foregin-made cars sold to the tune of almost 100,000 units. out of the 100,000 units, european cars accounted for share of that figure. about 70% were manufactured by european auto makers. >> now we're talking about adding into that mix american cars as well? >> it could be either adding to the market for american caor ams taking market share from european automakers. as i said, at the 8 percent tariff that is applicable to u.s. automakers will be gone, but the european and japanese auto makers will have to pay 8% tariffs in exports. that does create a price differen

to cause harm to the united states. now, that brings us to a question of the real problem which is the border. the u.s. border with mexico and its ports is a national security issue. it is not an immigration issue, that is a completely different issue. it's a border security, national security issue. last year from the, i believe the same report that you have provided, there were 663 individuals from special interest countries that were captured by our law enforcement. now, special interest countries, those are countries where terror organizations originate. saudi arabia, pakistan, afghanistan. that's where these 663 people were from that were captured by our law enforcement, trying to come into the united states. and they weren't coming over here looking for work that americans won't do. they were coming over here for mischief reasons. and that's because the boarder's open -- border's open. the world knows, if you can get to mexico, you can get to the united states and that was the plan in this bold endeavor to commit

if you are not against the policies of the united states, and if you are an ally of the united states or permanent member of the security council, would the agency talk about iran in this way? that is clear. whoever is against the policies of the united states is either a terrorist or it is going to create a nuclear bomb, or it is against human rights, or it is a dictator. they must accept the era of colonialism is over. >> i want to be clear on the nuclear issue. katherine ashton says negotiations could begin within weeks. is your government ready with your proposal and do you welcome negotiations? >> translator: certainly we are ready. certainly. we are always ready. and certainly we are going to talk about new proposals. we think dialogue is the solution. >> you have said there are no political prisoners in iran. the u.n. human rights report just suggested otherwise. what we do know is that leaders of the green movement, the people that ran against you, are essentially under house arrest and have not been heard from. i guess my specific question is while i'm in iran, could i meet w

united states and iran have a long history. even before uncovering the alleged plot to kill the saudi ambassador the united states designated iran as a terrorist country. reports that iran is vigorously pursuing nuclear weapons and alleged ties to al qaeda additional reasons why the united states should pay close attention to iranian activities. however recent remarks by some of my republican colleagues as well as this morning suggest the alleged assassination attempt represented the crossing of a red line by the world's largest state sponsor of terrorism against the united states and israel and claims sanctions are not working may be premature and could inflame an already -- furthermore they -- currently awaiting trial is accused of attempting to enlist a mexican drug cartel member to assassinate the saudi arabian ambassador to the united states. although some have made the point that capitalize on a possible alliance between iranian and mexican drug cartels the facts indicate otherwise. we must be careful to stick to the fact

states or come from long lines of families that come from the united states. we know we see this difference along the spectrum. let me highlight a couple of points that i think make a big difference. realize we have a cohort population between 8 million and 11.5 million of individuals in the united states who are undocumented, who some say are illegal or not lawfully present. they are in a group that is cut off in part and formality from the main economy. this is unwise because immigrants, both skilled and unskilled, in this case, that 8 million to 11 million, provide the innovative engine in the economy in these relatively dark times. i'll address the issue of unemployment. but in these difficult economic times, they provide a certain component to the economy which allows us to innovate and grow at a rate that we otherwise would not. in short, immigrants of all types unaverage are net contributors to the economy, help the actual pie grow bigger, provide more of a pie to split among us all and in turn try to goose innovation in a couple of unanticipated ways.

states we see it in iraq a country that never attacked the united states goes back to iran the regime change under most of the incident airplane cuba. goes on in august what he also fails to recognize is the more people they kill and in afghanistan and now in pakistan people get angry over that and that's why you have this perpetual war on terrorism that's why they would be attacking because of the occupation because of the killing this is what ron paul has pointed out they come over here to kill us stephen because the empire's over there killing them the best thing to do to stop this nonsense is you dismantle this imperial machine and you say you look like you want to go right ahead. yeah see the thing is that. you know whatever designs the u.s. has right at the moment you know i think there are things which need to be put in context which is the box on one part sun has to seriously look at non-state actors even if the u.s. leaves or does not leave. i would not agree with the notion that you know part of the or a large part of the non-state actors are that problem is there i mean it

states and united kingdom. we see that again and again, with most of the operations that took place in the west and the united states. since 2009, for example, anderson, most of the attacks, if not all of the attacks. most of that if not all, that took place in the united states were not planned and organized in pakistan, that was shifted to the arabian peninsula of al qaeda, shifted to yemen because qaeda in the arabian peninsula he volunteered himself as a more and more increasingly important target. >> you've also got some new information about who helped the united states track him down, correct? >> that's right. >> you know, the saudi government has a very strong counterterrorism service, and the united states works pretty closely with them. they did provide us those tracking numbers in the cargo plane case. and i'm told that this saudi group was instrumental in helping provide target information about awlaki. not surprising, the same sources who would have given them the tracking numbers would clearly hav

states is my shoes are to the united states but what we don't need is any kind of a conflict with the iranians because what that will do is bring the whole islamic world down on top of us i want to talk now a lot of what's kind of making news these days is the republican presidential field another debate tonight iran is of course one topic they've been asked about but i want to get your reaction in terms of president obama's performance year three not quite on the campaign trail against a candidate because there's certainly a whole field of that right now but what do you think president obama's going to need to do foreign policy wise to really improve his record in the next year i don't think there's anything he can do he's locked up with the israelis middle eastern peace process is going nowhere he can't do much about trade with. china because the chinese are our biggest lenders the saudis we will continue to support the saudis because we need their oil and they also buy a lot of our debt so the only thing he really has going for him in foreign policy at the moment is the drone attac

he changed the way the world look at the united states and you showed that the united states was having a defining effect on the international system. is there a china out there today other than china itself? is there an opportunity for the u.s. to change the way global gravity works and to demonstrate that we still have an ability to be the primary shaper of the international system? >> if there is, i have not discovered it. i think there is a different problem right now. there is not anyone move that i think we can make. i would hope somewhere in this process, the sort of debate that is going on now in this country gets lifted to a higher level. i would hope some kind of national unity with respect to some key objectives develops. there has to be a very effective for policy not because you have super leaders in every generation but you had a steady and reliable foreign policy. we can be leaders by our performance now. we cannot be leaders might do we want dramatic thing that changes everything anyway. i cannot think of what that move would be. >> on that clear and optimistic note, dr.

what are we doing wrong in the united states? we're not number one, we should be because of the power and the money that we spend. what can we do to improve? >> i think that it's true. it's an enormous challenge in our academy to close the gap between what we export and import. it was 500 million dollars last year, which is exactly the budget that mr. duncan had for the whole country. we have to develop an innovation industry in this country, which has to include one quarter of the students of this country which are latinos. these students have to graduate from university. 20 years ago, this country was a leader in access to the university. we have a great number of people with university degrees, but the rest of the world has increased that level and we haven't. our greatest challenge is to achieve enrollment and graduation among hispanics latinos. first of all, they must learn english at such a level that they can have access to all subjects. this shouldn't be something that isolates them from access to learning math, technolog

how did you get to the united states? >> guest: my family immigrated with the war in lebanon and everything so i grew up in pennsylvania and went to school in pennsylvania. my first real job after graduate school was fbi stationed in new york. i moved to new york in 1997 and continued to live in new york throughout my fbi career and after my fbi career i still live in new york. >> host: what years did you serve? >> guest: 1997-2005. >> host: what did you work on? >> guest: i focused on terrorism. discussed many of the missions are was involved in and cases that i worked on in the book. the focus of the great majority of my career was bin laden and al qaeda. >> host: do you speak arabic? >> guest: yes. >> host: where were you on 9/11? >> guest: i was not in the united states. i was working on investigating the uss cole attack in yemen. we received a phone call from headquarters asking myself and my partner to stay in yemen and follow up on some leads concerning 9/11. that was september 12th. i was really shocked. why do we

are there any folks who you suspect are a part of this plot in the united states? >> no reason to believe there any other coconspirators here in the united states. >> did the iranian man know the ambassador dor's first restaurant? it was discussed or was that something that the confidential informant came up with and second, why was the other person still at large? >> i'm not going to comment on that, but the second question in response to the first question, we should be clear as the complaint lays out, there was never actually any identified restaurant. i refer to it as the official restaurant. it was the way in which as is laid out in the complaint, the source was providing information to the people paying him to engage in the assassination plot. as for the detail and it is way in which he was going about setting up what was requested of him after the payment was made. >> you can elaborate on the kind of attack this was supposed to be whether it's a car bomb or what sort of an attack? >> directing you to the complaint. it's not a long document. there is a discus

states to the united states and in and around asia is especially important to singapore and to the united states. the other side of that coin, i guess, may go to some of the mutual or care -- or scared concerns. we all have concerns with security, counterterrorism, non- proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, other dangerous weapons. modern-day piracy has been an increasing problem in this part of the world -- all of those issues our mutual concerns between our countries. >> we were at the national museum a little while ago, and looking at the great history, a short history, and all of a sudden independents. can you think back or at least draw for us those early days and what some of the challenges were to create this city- state's/-- city state country. >> the challenges were whether we would survive at all. we were expelled from the federation of new asia. the issues were fundamental. first, make a living and get the economy going, because we planned on being part of a bigger economy and the nation. second, to provide for, because we really have no armed forces are owned. -- of ou

states to bring down the wrath of the united states but the problem is is that the united states is deals irrationally with iran it's not a rational player when it comes to iran and this is this is just a part of that no one in iran believes this story i don't believe that many people in the united states believe the story but the fact that the u.s. government pushes such an absurd story i think it just shows that there's a very little hope for for a rational approach in any time in the future with iran in the near future at least what do you think about their man. i mean because again i mean professor marandi gave a pretty good detailed account of the story to date again you know what does the rand benefit from all of this i mean and the absurdity of it all unless more evidence comes out and ties it makes a tighter case it looks like utter nonsense. as i said i think there's a lot about this case that does not smell right to me. but i think the point about reading spy novels i think that goes both ways i think a claim that mr reddy seems to be making that the obama administration s
