A report on the 14-month-old air war against ISIS (ISIL, Daesh) from inside the military operations floor at Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar. Every plane flying over Iraq and Syria is being tracked from here. 60 MINUTES cameras capture a B-1 bomber, in real-time, striking a car-bomb factory with secondary explosions indicating explosives were inside. The air war costs the U.S. $10 million a day, launching aircraft from bases in Kuwait, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Jordan and Turkey. The estimated number of enemy fighters remains unchanged, twenty to thirty thousand, because ISIS has been able to replace the dead with new recruits. Includes interviews with: various American air crew flyers (unidentified due to potential death threats); Lieutenant Colonel David Haworth; and Lieutenant General Charles Brown, commander of the air war.

An interview / profile of Jack Barsky, a former spy for the Soviet Union’s KGB, assigned to the United States during the last years of the Cold War, with the aim of infiltrating President Jimmy Carter’s White House. Barsky, born Albrecht Dittrich in East Germany, was recruited by a Russian KGB agent. Failing at his original mission, he then worked at MetLife in IT, where he stole IBM source code for the Soviets. He also led a double life, with a wife and son in Germany and a wife and daughter in the United States. Recalled by the KGB in 1988, he made the decision to stay in the U.S. with his daughter. He lied to the KGB by telling them that he was dying of AIDS. He had another child, a son, and settled down with his family in Mount Bethel, Pennsylvania. The FBI started observing Barsky, and in May of 1997 had gathered enough evidence to question him. After the interrogation, the FBI concluded that his spy days were over and that he would be most useful in supplying information as to how the KGB operated. He now lives in upstate New York as director of software development for an undisclosed company that manages New York’s high-voltage power grid. Also includes interviews with: Joe Reilly, former FBI agent; and Chelsea (last name not disclosed), Barsky’s daughter.
