francisco, claudine wong, ktvu channel 2 news. thank you. time now 6:47. hundreds of people marched last night in san jose calling on the federal government to take action to prevent the slaughter of more christians in iraq. [ indiscernible ] >> congregations from five asere inchris chance churches in the south bay came together showing their support for fellow christians in iraq. >> we would like president obama to intervene and basically stop the massacre of the christians in the middle east. >> now the march was a response to an attack by muslim terrorists on a catholic church in baghdad during a sunday mass just nine days ago. more than 50 people were killed. dozens were hurt as the gunman opened fire with automatic weapons and set off suicide bombs. an al qaeda group in iraq has claimed responsibility for that attack. meantime u.s. secretary of defense robert gates says the united states is open to the

idea of keeping american troops in iraq past a deadline to leave next year if the iraqi government makes that request. gates says the u.s. will standby for such a request once the country ends an eight month political deadlock and forms a new government. california governor is okay with pot. he told jay leno last night that "no one care ifs you smoke a joint." the governor signed a law five weeks ago that made possession of up to an ounce of marijuana the equivalent of a traffic ticket. he also says the failed ballot measure to legalize the recreational use of marijuana went too far. time now 6:49. still focused on traffic. sal is watching our commute. how's it going? >> it's going okay. as a matter of fact i'm just looking here and i don't see a lot going on. as a matter of fact i don't see anything going on when it comes to the south bay commute. let's go there first. and talk about westbound 237. westbound traffic is moving along okay if you are driving
