the thinking is not the only thing. the white house keeps saying it was just the anti islamic video that calls the muslims wrath across the world this is not a case of. protest or wrecked it at the united states writ large or at u.s. policy this is in response to a video that is offensive but that's a claim no one is buying it ministration wants us to believe it's not the administration's policies that have generated this behavior it's this one idiotic piece of so-called film which is about out there for two months well it is very likely that it's stupid film that nobody's seen causes people to assassinate ambassadors and to storm embassies and the question the us media keep asking why do so many millions of dollars almost hate the usa but the answers they're getting are the answers very few in the u.s. want to hear if you were to point to one thing that makes some muslims hate the usa

it would be. hypocrisy over democracy. while america the government now preaches democracy it has propped up authoritarian leaders but that's not the only accusation of hypocrisy that washington is facing there's also u.s. policy makers failure to condemn the violence when it suits their goals like the numerous terrorist attacks in syria washington seems to approve of them as long as they are targeting supporters of the outside government or another act of violence a rebel mob executing colonel qadhafi the u.s. secretary of state cheered at the news as we came we saw our guide. washington's failure to condemn all violence equally has prompted radicals to take an even more aggressive course if most americans understood what was being done in our name in the stabilizing the middle east and north africa it would be absolutely horrified what are the result to me expect these people they have no hope their
2:04 am
economies are destroyed they see their calling for foreign invaders of course this kind of thing is going to happen when the tragedy in libya happened the international community wholeheartedly condemned the attacks on american diplomats but the u.s. for its part has been quite selective in condemning violence it could be that the white house thought by supporting revolutions by fostering regime change they were winning hearts and minds in the muslim world but that doesn't appear to be the case for now the obama administration constantly refers to this film as the sole reason behind what's happening a reasoning which basically allows them to avoid addressing the deeper issues in washington i'm going to check on.

this week public anger was rocked has run georgia in reaction to a prison abuse scandal but the government now scrambling to save face if you're applying for the leaked video showed the maids been tortured and raped by god and one of the countries on friday for protests as the rest of that are trying to break through a place called despite the resignation of several georgian officials and interior minister demonstrators say they won't rest until everyone just possible has helped turn around prison guards across the country have been replaced with police officers but inmates say they fear they would have his will continue and he's a group is going off reports now don't get me. transparency human rights zero tolerance. the videos that bury georgia's image making efforts in a matter of minutes scenes of torture beatings and the sexual abuse of inmates allegedly in one of the country's most exemplary prisons. but human dignity is the

a for europe but no one really knows what's happening behind these walls. president saakashvili came out blaming as a static fault several prison officials are now under criminal investigation and all jail staff have been temporarily substituted with police officers but for many georgians it's too little too late in a country with a population half the size of paris twenty five thousand inmates is enough to fact nearly every family in one way or another either through relatives friends or neighbors and as the nation prepares to vote for a new problem in the look talk or the damage to georgia's leaders may be too much for their reputation to be rescued in time you want this kind of r. t. really see georgia. and he caught up with a former stop member from the infamous georgian jail who leaked the shocking videos latina because it has left the country and is now seeking political asylum in
