Under the Radar

" Al- Qaeda terror camps getting smaller -- going underground. There are reports from counterterrorism analysts. That the training camps are becoming more mobile. That means the network is getting harder to spot. Joining us now Bob Baer -- former CIA case officer author of the book sleeping with the devil how Washington sold our soul. For Saudi crude what does -- mean they're getting smaller Bob."

" Well they're -- they're moving in this is smaller cells with no contact. Between each other they don't need -- Central Command structure. A particular city -- particular camp. Which makes it infinitely more difficult for the FBI and the CIA to Trace them. So if -- if you have a -- you know group in Paris for instance -- practices explosives out in -- forest and they don't have no contact with anybody else. In simply use the Internet to plan. Can carry out attacks it's very very difficult to run these guys."

" And in places like Afghanistan where -- campaign to target some of these camps with predator drones and that kind of thing has been so successful. And al- Qaeda has obviously learned that you don't want to put a large number of their people in any one position."

" They figured -- don't go on the telephone. Don't send emails don't send letters to each other don't -- can get rid of the wiring diagram moved to New York City to Houston. Anywhere and set up an attack at the same time doesn't that make them. You know a little bit isn't -- a little more -- cumbersome for them to try to communicate to try to you know make their plants. They don't have to who's talking federal law enforcement last night they said it is a nightmare because people. All they need to do is get their instructions and chat rooms are on the Internet. You can learn how to make bombs from there you you know what the mission is you carry out a spectacular act. And al- Qaeda can claim and whether it had any connection or not what does this say about the future prospects of protecting the country. Look I hate to give you bad news on Monday morning but I think you know you look at is that he case the Afghan the airport worker bee the it even look at Fort Hood even though -- no firm. You know there's a dancing to -- terrorism. And I think we're just it's it's a matter of fact that we're gonna get hit again. Well I guess again because. -- our counterterrorism folks have to be right a 100% of the time and -- only has to be right. Wants. No country can be bright a 100% of the time no police force no intelligence service it's impossible. Bob Baer former case officer with the CIA Bob thank you."
