welcome back you're watching our c.e.o.'s take a look at today's news and the week's top stories the u.s. commemorates its worst terrorist attack the divide of the world and nine eleven assaults and years ago prompted americans to launch a policing mission that many experts claim has made the globe more dangerous. russia bids farewell to the players of a top nationalized hockey team who perished in

a plane crash the jet went down shortly after taking off yards of all region killing forty three people on board. and moscow was to send a fact finding mission to syria to get firsthand information about the crisis they are this as russia's president retributive refuses to take sides in the conflict saying talks are the only way to peace. of the decade to solve the nine eleven attack was marked by wars waged under the flag of ridding the world from terrorists lawrence wilkerson a former u.s. official in the administration of george w. bush told r.t. that america thinks it's exceptional and abuses the power it no longer happens. after nine eleven america did not just go after those who perpetrated back tragic vicious attack it unleashed a campaign on nations that had nothing to do with nine eleven we're talking about

iraq where hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians have died since two thousand and three america's been in constant war since nine eleven in different countries are we talking about one of the most profound overreactions in military history to talk about that i'm joined by colonel lawrence wilkerson whose service call in powell as chief of staff calling powell secretary of state under george w. bush colonel wilkerson thank you so much for joining me thanks for having me more than six thousand american servicemen have died in the last decade of war spawned by the nine eleven attack. tragedy worth remembering the knowing no doubt but why in all those speeches delivered by american officials i never hear about hundreds of thousands of. innocent civilians dead in the wars waged by the united states and other countries like iraq as a collective entity we seem to think were exceptional and so exceptional that we

don't have to think about other people or as i said that's a position you can maintain as long as you are as powerful as we were powerful was rome when its day post world war two but we're no longer that powerful women are powerful recedes even as we speak here today some of the people who were at the helm back then are now writing books saying everything they date was right including guantanamo including everything else i'm talking about dick cheney first of all vice president george w. bush and at the same time they're all blaming each other for something why all this confusion and should one be worried about the general picture that's being created in the last decade of war because they're all trying to going to each other and trying to get out of sort of a bloody mess and yes we should be going to. why are they trying to blame each other let's let's face a fact here for a moment that most americans don't even think about. nine eleven happened when george w. bush and dick cheney's what. they allowed the greatest killing of americans on

american territory since were already. a lot of their rhetoric and aggressive actions post nine eleven was to hide that fact and also to keep it from happening again because if it had happened again they probably would have been impeached on the spot thrown out of office so we spent four trillion dollars to counter an attack by bin laden and zawahiri that cost maybe half a million that's not very cost effective that's really bad it's bad business so you have to understand that first of all about the bush cheney administration the second thing you have to understand i think is that we have made a cottage industry if not to much more than a cottage industry out of the what my former boss colin powell has called the terrorist industrial complex lots of people are making lots of money off of this so-called global war on terror you're saying that you had lots of doubts about building this case for war in iraq was it possible that some point. to stand up and say no we have to out we're not writing the speech we're where we're out of it we

all did key points in the preparation colin powells presentation on some of those occasions george tenet and his deputy john mclaughlin said ok ok will this really that i have the cia head of the cia and the director of central told us at the time . we'll throw that out and they threw it out the real essence of that presentation and they preserved they being george tenet and john mclaughlin and i think under some strong influence from the vice president's office they preserved and that was the mobile biological laboratories that was the active nuclear program as symbolized by the aluminum tubes and it was the existing chemical stocks and. nachum is hard connections between al qaida and baghdad those were the real faults of the ads in that briefing that george tenet and john mclaughlin the representatives of not just the u.s. intelligence community but of israel finance britain jordan and

a host of others who were feeding and talents into us. that's what they said was sacrosanct they said that is the case that is what saddam hussein is doing only later did we learn that even those elements of his presentation were composed of half truths false words even and i think today after doing more research outright lies lies created in the defense department under undersecretary of defense for policy doug feith and his special iraqi lie and lies created in the vice president live and working at the house that he wanted for the same reason that in summer of two thousand and two i have discovered that the emphasis on enhanced interrogation techniques changed suddenly from being to try and find out if another attack were coming after all a lot of comedy expired another attack were coming it would have come. in the summer of two thousand and two it shifted suddenly to enhanced interrogation in

order to find out if baghdad had contacts with al qaida so we were actually torturing people not under the so-called smoking gun argument that we might have another attack so it was justified we were torturing people so we could attack iraq and convince the american people we should do so that's how drastic it got now ask me why they want to go to war with iraq and i'll give you a half a dozen answers if it's douglas feith it's protection of israel if it's paul wolfowitz the deputy secretary of defense it's a little bit of israel it's a little bit of oil and it's a little bit of bringing peace and democracy and freedom to the middle east if it's george bush it's who i fear the nexus between al qaida and baghdad which cheney had convinced i'm sure george tenet had convinced him of it george tenet didn't think there was that big a nexus. with dick cheney i think it was all over iraq right now is sitting on probably two hundred billion barrels maybe three hundred billion barrels that's

a rat's own oil the port that surpasses saudi arabia. if iraq is sitting on three hundred billion barrels of oil if that turns out to be true it would be more than saudi arabia now you know why dick cheney went to war in iraq it also was the low hanging fruit in north korea it was far more dangerous but too difficult one hundred thousand casualties were predicted by the pentagon on both sides so would be destroyed iran was too difficult seventy million people not fractured like the iraqis and the sunni and shia christian and other so the low hanging fruit was a right to just use the moment in the wake of nine eleven they use the moment in the in the wake of nine eleven to divert from afghanistan a real target children are real target and go to iraq that's exactly what they did you said they would testify if they put someone like big cheney on trial and our what would you accuse them are i think he's already done it no one needs to accuse him of anything he has admitted publicly it is on videotape that he can go

waterboarding but he would still waterboard then he does not believe waterboarding is torture waterboarding is torture there's a ipso facto case the man's guilty but they're saying they did it in the best interest of their country it seems to be the ultimate reasoning which can't be confronted what would you say to that i say that the in never justifies the means. and the question is does the lesser evil ever justify itself because it prevents a greater evil there is some real problems with that argument the logical problems as well as philosophical and what i would call value laden problems first it is you can never know a hypothetical you never know if your lesser evil action actually prevented the greater evil dick cheney spends hours on television and elsewhere and in this book trying to say that his actions prevented a greater evil another attack on the united states and so forth well that's his

interpretation and my interpretation of the bureaucracy which is probably far better than his because i was buried in it i heard people talking about it every day so bottom line is i know what dick cheney doesn't know because he was in the ivory pot palace and he can't know horse soldiers surrounded cheney but people who surrounded cheney are david addington and john hannah and scooter libby and they told me cheney what dick cheney wants to hear george tenet told dick cheney what dick cheney wanted to hear oh yes it's working mr vice president we're getting great information and we're stopping terrorist attacks that is utter bull they didn't stop anything through inherent enhanced interrogation techniques i have that from some of the most respected people in the f.b.i. and the intelligence community so i can't fault big cheney for not knowing the truth because he couldn't know the truth he's trapped he's trapped in his own mood but the truth is the methods don't work and they rebalance your discredit and they

recruit as you said for your enemy dick cheney is asked what would happen if an american were captured in iran and what would happen if they waterboarding because they thought he was a threat to the state of vermont and something he just skirted around the question what he really said was if you listen closely americans are better than anybody else in the world. americans shouldn't be waterboarding but anybody else we can waterboard especially if we're americans doing it that's essentially what dick cheney said now here's the kicker about forty percent of america agrees with you poll you look at the polls that have been done about forty percent of america at any given time and they think that americans have the right to torture other people and other people don't have the rights to torture americans for various reasons most of them think it's that way because we have a bigger gun that's why they think we can get away with it and do it because we have a bigger gun that's why i say the reckoning is coming the reckoning when we are just

another country and world and that they is coming and may not come in my lifetime but unfortunately i think it's coming in my children and my grandchildren's like time and this is going to be a hard time for washington because we no longer going to have the money were no are going to have the economic night where no want to get going to have the military might and so forth to say to the world we can torture you but you can't torture us many say that america's for sponsors to nine eleven was one of the most profound overreactions in military history would you agree with that i think initially it was proportional it was rational it was fairly well supported in the international community and it was a sadness that yes the initial reaction what we should have done was gone to afghanistan as we did did what we did about six months later said ok here's your government karzai you got it go ahead and run your country as best you can we'll

give you economic and financial support from afar we're going home oh by the way footnote if you entertain terrorist in this country and you will come back and do it again in what way could that over we actually backfire. i think it already has and this is a profound change really and it's happened since world war two it's been creeping up on us and now with libya it's here we have a an executive power that is beyond any check by the people by the congress or by the courts for war we can go to war at the drop of a coin it matters not that the obama administration and i have to say i voted for president obama it matters not that they have protested rather futile and really that they weren't involved in hostilities that the war powers act was not relevant and so for that certainly was any time you kill people for state purposes the war

powers act is relevant and the constitution is relevant we've reached the point now where the president the united states can kill people for state purpose and any time he or she will feels the need james madison said very eloquently when you come to combine the power to initiate war with the power to execute it and you have achieved tyranny that is a very profoundly worrying situation and that's what's happened in this country. since.

nine eleven. days news and this week's top stories that you. commemorates its worst terrorist attack but divided the world the nine eleven assault ten years ago prompted america to launch a policing mission that many experts claim has made the globe more dangerous. brush a bit feel well to the players of a top national ice hockey team who perished in a plane crash the jets went down shortly after taking off and jaroslav region killing forty three people on board. moscow is to sand a fact finding mission to syria to get firsthand information about the crisis here this as russia's president medvedev refuses to take sides in the conflict saying talks are the only way to peace. time don't take

a look at what's happening in the world of sports natasha's here. hello welcome this is not a sports of data largely thanks for watching the headlines. brockovich advancing to the u.s. open decides to repeat over its way by an old maid while samantha stossel and serena williams will do battle for the ladies title at train view plush in medals. no more school song premier league leaders and see their idols call for the away from home and second seasons and needs also lose on south easy. and the last few by family browns fans and dignitaries pay their respects to the mcnulty of. players who were killed in the plane crash this week. again with the latest from flushing meadows where serena williams knocked out carling was knocking the u.s. open sunday final the american is through to the championship decider with these

a very major highlight of my career. on the men's side dive jock and expect me to talk to better in their second meeting of the season the match wonderful five sets over the job of coming from two sets to love down too much boys to eventually get six seven four six six three six two and seven point five and with the size of so far so i would have paid her last at the same stage and to the same man at last year's us open while the top seeded is now hoping for his third grand slam title. and. it's always important to. be calm to stay positive and to believe i believe that you can win i mean since you're already in the fifth circuit for the marriage it's only one great difference so you make the greater you can emerge as winner. so only rafael nadal now stands the job of each and the trophy or office of beating before c. then d. sixty three six and sixty two in the second semifinal once again tonight in spots

hopes of a major success involve us as djokovic show will be a rematch of last is finally won by the sea and the battle between the world's top two players. in football on saturday sold the top four russian sides in action as they started with a shock so it has to cross eighteen rivals did not find their first match without national team goalkeeper you get a king fever picked up in the knee injury a fortnight ago and the absence was a glaring one on the bar only in the open for the visitors thirty six minutes. more misery was then hate and says downs that need to get only sergey chipped to go just three minutes late became a granny the man make me two zero does not mark. has defense remains all it's essentially for the rest of the game down to feel numbers now taking advantage of it midway through the second hop molding who want to keep and then late substitute alexander cuckoo in will drowned out before zero upsets on the stroke of full time

. but they pose elites in petersburg as well who could have ended the day on top and they had avoided defeat at looking mighty but it was beyond them looked on as well it is now throwing away a two goal advantage to lose four to the uncle as a bitch and alexander who are both striking in the person after was in it in the driving seat but local four back in the second helped some of signing big but i believe the launching become bagged just after the break. and now the new arrival felipe because say the tide proceedings right on the element and yet one more man who is just start of your style with a look at might see one course there was left to make the difference the portuguese bagging a brace within thirty minutes to complete before to scoring will see you. are being many well have slipped from fourth to very disappointing three one also concerned about your team of six sound open for the has safe minutes in following

a handball in the box there are many snaps no easily putting the ball away. now straight to the side and how when they have steve double delayed through alexander i miss a lush really as if i'd go off for a free kick. the first nacho pulled one back from the spot with four minutes to go given the visitors i hope for a jury being guilty purcel gate over your goal and join his team mates up front helping to scoring the dying moments but most manage to deal with that threat and joy xenu proclaimed to the school beyond doubt the injury time and that seemed to be the premier league new boys and well deserved three one win over the poor russian champions. now looking as if he does love to have pulled out a wise hokies cage challenge till next season it was expected that all the teams would they would give players to the great stricken team but local officials say they will take i want to break they saw without.
