department in libya knew that the threat was there and requested security, the state department just wasn't prepared to deal with this situation. and by being prepared, you have a list of things that when something goes wrong like this you go down that list and make certain phone calls and notify certain people. and that just wasn't the case. they had numbers from the d.o.d. that had expired. then you run into a situation where these agencies, the cia, the state department, and the military don't necessarily talk to each other and are in communications as much as you'd think. >> you know, as an american that doesn't work for me. the president, the security agency people are sitting in the white house. they're getting an instantaneous report of what's going on there. what weren't they looking at? where was the u.s. cavalry to use an american image. where were the people that could have come that tried to get there within however many hours it took to save the lives of the people still living. why people that were still living? where were they and why couldn't they do it? i'll ask that

you cover this, the state department for years as well. talk to me about that. >> well, i mean, don, 15 years after the attack. i mean, obviously, there will be you know, kind of cheers and a celebration that the master mind of the attack will be brought to justice hopefully, but i think 15 years later, that was really a watershed in terms of you know, kind of terrorist attacks against u.s. embassies abroad. really caused a major investigation or re-examination of u.s. facilities overseas. there have been so many commissions and reports and rebuilding of embassies around the world and you see as nic has been saying, 15 years later, these embassies and consulates are still fragile. on the 15-year anniversary of the attack in august, that's a heightened security concern that u.s. embassies in the arab world and in africa, about 20 posts were closed because of threats, possible threats because of al qaeda and you saw with the attack on the u.s. consulate in benghazi last year, that even everything that's been done over these years to strength

i look forward to what the department and the state department is going to be able to do with iran as you test their intentions. i intend to keep the department's feet to the fire on our issue of sanctions, as we move forward. >> mr. chairman, i'll be very brief. i know we have another panel coming, but i would like to ask the secretary, you know, we talked a lot today about the nuclear issue and other important ears here today, but if we negotiate an end to their nuclear program or a significant role, we still have a country that is hostile. they are a state sponsor of terror. they have a terrible human rights record. so i know that y'all are looking at trying to negotiate some relief, if you will, relative to the sanctions but the fact is that the way the sanctions law reads, they've got to not only dismantle their nuclear program, but also renounce terrorism. and i just wonder how those negotiations are going simultaneously to these others and what you're doing to ensure. again, the way the law reads, these sanctions cannot be undone unless all of that occurs, and it seems to me we

military to intervene. >> pelley: margaret brennan at the state department for us tonight. margaret, thank you. as you know, the assad dictatorship in syria has agreed to give up its chemical weapons to head off u.s. military retaliation for a chemical weapons attack that killed more than 1400 syrian civilians. today, an international watchdog group confirmed that the assad regime has in fact destroyed the equipment to produce chemical weapons, and it did so one day ahead of the november 1 deadline. in legal developments here at home, back last summer, a federal judge ordered new york city police to modify their so-called stop and frisk policy which allows officers to search just about anyone they see as suspicious. today, a federal appeals court blocked that order, and in a surprising development, removed the lower court judge from the case. our senior correspondent john miller is here with us tonight, and, john, why the action against the judge? >> reporter: well, this is very unusual, scott. judges are reversed on the law by higher courts all the time, but rarely is ther

this as we learn suspects in that attack aren't stated on the state department's award. >> a british man calling himself morgan jones, a sued nichl wpse. he was on the phone with one of the libyan guards as the attack began. >> what's going on? they said we are getting attacked. i said, how many, he said they are all over the compound. i was shocked. i didn't know what to say. keep fighting i will be on my way. they said we are here to kill americans not libyans. >> chris stevens and four other americans were killed in the attack. the men who killed him are still not on the state department's reward for justice program. they cou she could not explain why they are not on the list because quote classified deliberations. >> the point is we believe it's a priority, our intelligence community believes it's a priority people in this building believe it is a priority. whether they are on a web site or not doesn't change that. >> the decision stunned the former state department official who used the run the rewards for justice program. >> we should use every tool it in our tool kit. it is a

are that's because the state department refused to grant a visa despite the fact that akbar is travel to the u.s. many times in the past without any problems unfortunately only five members of congress took time away from complaining about the obamacare website to actually show up yes five out of four hundred and thirty five representatives felt it necessary to hear this family's story all r.t. got a chance to sit down with grayson earlier today to discuss why he's only one of very little politicians willing to acknowledge the true scope of the tragedy and devastation resulting from these drones. in the case of drones there have been documented reports of roughly a thousand innocent people who've been killed by these attacks virtually every observer says that the chance of killing an innocent is roughly one in five every time we launch one of these attacks one in five turns out to be entirely innocent and there are publicly available lists of almost two hundred children who have been killed by these attacks people have to start to wonder why are we so willing to do this and there's so

only the state department knew why they didn't grant visa but one of the only conclusions you can draw is they didn't grant it because they don't want him coming here and speaking he had absolutely no problem coming to the u.s. before he started working on drones and sense that he it's become near so impossible for him to get a visa to come it's unfortunate because he's a critical voice in this debate he's one we should be engaging with and listening to and it's only when we start gaging with the human faces of this and listening to people like shazad that we can really get to the bottom of the true impact of what's going on absolutely jennifer this hearing has been a long time in the making what was the biggest challenge getting the reforms in the u.s. and were you disappointed that only five members of congress turned up for the hearing . oh i'm not sure what the biggest challenge as we've had a lot of them it's a band of at a six month process trying to get them here everything from time to get. the machines breaking down. that were necessary to upload the information to them having

what does the state department not? are we letting down these people that helped the united states. >> the state department's way is to figure out how to deny at all costs no one wants to let in the next bin laden. in the history of both of these pro garages not a single interpreter that has come to the united states committed an act of terrorism against us before coming or since arriving here. janis had numerous teurchts to kill hundreds of americans over the years of faith full service. all he did was gee fend us. he saved my life by killing two taliban. the state needs to cut the bureaucratic red tape and do a number of things. the programs need a senior administrator. they need to change the threshold for how we issue these visas. instead of saying prove to us you are under a ongoing threat. we should do as we do for asylum seekers demonstrated how you would fear for your life after we leave. the other thing is congress needs to increase the number of people that apply to come here. we have another interpreter asan.

jones says he was annoyed that the state department wouldn't allow his guards to carry guns. as the attack began last year on september 11, one of his guards called jones who was living nearby. >> i could hear gunshots and he said, "there's men coming in to the mission." his voice, he was-- he was scared. you could tell he was really scared. and he was running. you could tell he was running. >> reporter: his first thought was for his american friends, the state department agents pinned down inside the compound. and he couldn't believe it when one of them answered his phone. >> i said, "what's going on?" he said, "we're getting attacked." i said, "how many?" and he said, "they're all over the compound." and i-- i was shocked. i didn't know what to say. and i said, "well, just keep fighting. i'm on my way." >> reporter: morgan's guards, unarmed and terrified, were surrounded by heavily armed gunmen, but they still sounded the alarm. >> they said, "we're here to kill americans, not libyans." so they gave them a good beating, pistol-whipped them, beat them with their rifles and l

looking forward, the department of defense will work in conjunction the state department and other government agencies to provide security assistance to build the capacity of the somalia security institutions including the ability to counter terrorism, secure borders and coastline and reinforcing democratic values and the rule of law. additionally we continue to work with the state department to support amisom and their efforts . amisom represents an important success story in which forces have collaborated to progressively regain territory working in collaboration with the national army as well as ethiopian sources. the united states and other international partners have provided critical training and assistance to facilitate these efforts. once appropriations are approved for department of defense fiscal year 2014 would be the first in 20 years in which the department of defense is able to support somalia national security forces directly. they put in place as senior military representative who perform this a role similar to that of a defense attache and will increase our presence in tandem

jon: and what does the state department have to say about all of this? >> reporter: well, the spokeswoman was candid she was not familiar with the program and that she would have to look into it. >> let me check and see what the standards are for putting people on it. the answer is i just don't know, but i'm happy to look into it. obviously, it's not the only way we identify people that have committed terrorist acts or have done bads things. there's designations, there's other things we can do as well. >> reporter: meantime, a source on the ground in libya confirms that a former guantanamo detainee was in benghazi on the night of the attack as we had previously reported, he is suspected of training fighters in eastern libya, and we believe that he remains in libya to this point, jon. jon: it would seem that putting them on the list would be a pretty simple thing to do. >> reporter: it's incredible they're not on the list. jon: yeah. catherine herridge, thank you. >> reporter: you're welcome. harris: the utah doctor accused of killing his wife watching hi

department security agents who witnessed the attack against the department wished. >> concerns me it was not a higher priority for chairman to make sure we can bridge the people to justice than carry on this political exercise. >> reporter: waiting for a criminal prosecution, does ot pass the sniff test. >> we'll wait 3 years, when we had a terrorist attack, which is different from your average criminal case to get the truthing and think about what we need to know to prevent future terrorist attacks. >> the hearings must be in public. american people can handle the truth. >> reporter: as republican frank wolf renewed hid call for a select committee, lawmaker cited reports of fox news it willed fi cbs 60 minutes, and main benghazi suspects have strong ties to al qaeda sense wh senior leadership. >> do you know why an ambassador asking for more security days and weeks before hig he was murd and those requests within unheeded ? >> republican congressman mike mccall sent this letter to secretary of state kerry, why hs not offering a reward for tips leading to the arrests of the benghazi

the state department functions will have to close. the department of veterans affairs will not be able to pay out many fwofse death veterans and the district of columbia will be in a lot of trouble. it has been works off emergency funds and little things. , people o explain that might not realize congress runs the district of columbia's budget. >> yes. and because d.c. here, we are not a state, we are reliant upon congress and with the government substitutedown the district of columbia is not getting money from the federal government but it has emergency funds it has been using but little things will stop, things you don't realize. there's basically two glupes do the remain kits when a person comes into the hospital and they have been the victim of sexual assault, a remain skit performed trying to get the d.n.a. and help get victim justice, those remain kits will stop if the government remains shut down because right now they have emergency funds for the district of columbia but those will stop unless government opens. >> it's importa

that's what the state department does. and diplomats are trained to look for the overlapping common interest. and that's often a very useful thing to do. but there are times when it is not a useful thing to do. you may find some theoretical overlapping interest between the united states and iran today, for example. the state department is trying to do that. i see it quite differently. i see an iranian leadership, a group of mullahs who were supporting terrorism, who created hezbollah, who are chasing nuclear weapons. and i think the overlapping interests pale alongside the differences between us. and so i'd like to see us help change that regime. and we argue for this in the book. not by invading iran. we are often accused of wanting to invade everyone. in fact, we don't recommend any invasion. but by helping those iranians who despise the government that dominates their lives. c-span: you talk about a favorite "trick," in quotes, at state, a trick that they use when they want the world -- they want to change the governmen

provided for the first time the agencies could request or petition the state department of finance to determine that an enforceable obligation that has appeared on the lot is something that dof won't challenge in the future. if a state determines that and enforceable obligation is conclusive, they're reviewing the future is to determine a particular expenditured is required under that enforceable obligation. under 1484 the procedure for submitting a petition for final conclusion requires two things, it could be that the obligation provides for a commitment of property tax, second that commitment of property tax occurs over time, and third this is something that the department of finance added, that the enforceable obligation has to be approved before you can submit it for a final determination. the agency has already submitted three final conclusive determine requests and received two. one for transbay and enforceable obligations underline that project. another final conclusive determination was issued for the shipyard point both phase 1 and phase 2 and we currently have pending on mi

the state department revoked the visas. those involved in a case believe the taliban called in a bogus unanimous tip saying he was a threat. after seven years as an interpreter for u.s. forces, there was no safe haven. zeller refused to accept it. it was clear in our interview, he was tormented by what happened. >> he'll die. no question about it. he'll torture it. these people used to send us the body parts of interpreters that they captured as a warning message to our interpreters to quit now. >> and you can see that being janice's fate? >> after a massive effort, lobbying members of congress to force the state department to reconsider the family visas were reissued. the case is an -- >> thousands of people. we have been able to get out fewer than 10% of the people that we could have. the vast majority of people, if they wanted to harm americans, had all sorts of chances. >> visas were allocated for iraqis and afghans. just a fraction of those visas had been issued, leaving many in harm's way. >> called them islam, called

. >> [talking over]: the state department and the pentagon are working at odds with each other? >> not at all. i also can't speak for the pentagon. so again, i'm not familiar with that specific contract you're referring to, so i'm not going to speak to it. if the state department doesn't know about the details of america's military contracts with egypt, and the pentagon won't talk to us about it, what is the reality? we decided to commission further research on us arms shipments before and after the coup. the results: there's been a steady flow of nearly 2000 tons of american military equipment to egypt since july 3. at least 8 container ships carrying defense materials left the american ports of baltimore, new york and norfolk. their destination: the egyptian ports of damieta and alexandria. business as usual. that's all i have an real money. victoria azarenko i'm kim bondy, senior executive >> shortly after the coup, the us announced it was suspending the delivery of 4 f16 fighter jets to egypt. but in cairo, there was a sense that the action wasn't especially punitive. in fac
