in the meantime, as we await the statements from the president and the president-elect, our pentagon correspondent barbara starr is joining us. barbara, yesterday ash carter, the defense secretary, said he wants everyone at the pentagon, military and civilian personnel, to work together with the incoming trump team to make sure there's a smooth transition. what are you hearing? >> reporter: well, wolf, as you would expect, there's a lot of chatter up and down the pentagon hallways. i would say the top curiosity here is who will be the new secretary of defense. a lot of names being thrown around. nobody's hearing anything very definitive yet. one of the big underlying questions so many senior people in the u.s. military have quite remarkably is who is this new commander in chief that they will have. they have seen donald trump's statements on the campaign trail, talking about waterboarding, talking about bombing with little regard to civilian casualties, talking about taking the oil in iraq. all of these things potentially very serious violations of international law, violations of th
