Elise Cooper interviewed several former top intelligence experts to get their response to President Obama's recent speech on national security.

Congressman Buck McKeon (R-CA) noted that the president's policy "maintains [that] it is more humane to kill a terrorist with a drone than detain and interrogate him at Guantánamo Bay."

Jose Rodriguez, Jr., a former CIA director of the National Clandestine Service, thought the president's reference to capturing terrorists as well as detaining, interrogating, and prosecuting them was a joke. He emphatically feels that this administration hardly captures anyone, because its people do not know what to do with them if they are captured. "How many prisoners have we taken since Obama came into office? I think three. How many have been prosecuted? The bottom line is that this administration does not capture, detain, interrogate, or prosecute."
