mr. president you have remained mostly silent, largely silent over the last couple of years. why did you remainsilent? >> well, for two reasons, number one, i didn't want to get out there anymore, i didn't want to get back into what i call t swamp. i'm trying to regain a sense of anonymity. and the other thing i don't think it's good for the presidency for a former president to be opining about his successor. >> he is speaking out now about his own time in office. >> let's talk about waterboarding. >> okay. >> we believe america's going to be attacked again. there's all kinds of intelligence coming n and one of the high value al qaeda operators was khalid sheikh mohammed and they said he had information, i said found out what he knows. i said are the techniques legal?

the lawyers said they are, so i said use them. >> so it did not fall within the -- >> anti-torture act. >> you say it's legal and the lawyers told me, you got the justice department to give you the lega guidance and the legal memos that you wanted. they got legal opinions they wanted from their own people. o'he obviously doesn't know. i hope mr. kaine reads the book. he can draw whatever conclusion they want. but i will tell you this, using those techniques saved lives. my job was to protect america and i did. >> on the decision to go to war in iraq, he says he was the decider. in a conversation i think over lunch that you had with dick

>> apologizing would mean that the decision was the wrong decision. i don't believe it was the wrong decision. >> if you know what you kno now, you would still go to war in iraq? >> i first of all didn't have that luxury. i will say definitelyhe world is better off without saddam hussein in power. are 25 million people who now have a chance to live in freedo >> in the summer of 2006 as iraq descended into chaos, he made the unpopular decision to send 20,000 additional troops in. >> what made you think that would be successful? give me yr thinking on that? >> i wasn't sure what would be successful, but u knew what wasn't going to be succsful. >> the reaction to the surge immediately, one critic called it the most dangerous decision

since vietnam. how hard a decision was the surge for u, where does it rank? >> it was a very difficu decision. made easier by the fact that i had met with many familie of the fallen who said to me, do not let my loved ones sacrifice go in vain and i really didn't care about popularity. everybody wants to be liked, but as the commander in chief, i was more interested in success than my personal popularity. >> you said that history is not ready to judge you yet. >> that's right. >> it's going to take time. >> ue. >> when it does come about, president bush, do you think you'll be judged a judge says or a failure? >> i hope a success f i'm going to be dead when they fure it out. i'm comfortable knowing that i

gave it my all and i love america. >> he's another peace with a lot of those decisions and he will be live in our studio tomorrow morning right here on "today." you can post questions for the president on twitter.com and on our facebook pages as well. now to elizabeth smart's disturbing kidnappg or deal. the 23-year-old took the stand on monday to testify against the man who is accused of taking her back in 2002. >> reporter: it was a haunting story with a miracle ending, a teenaged girl kidnapped from her own bed by a stranger in the middle of the night and then found nine months later. now after eight years, elizabeth smart is telling her story i detail. slipping into court through a backdoor, accompanied by her mother and sister who also testified about the dnapping, elizabeth took the stand, but she didn't g to confront the

we're now at 8:38, an investigation in sunday's more times has declared a conflict of interest. on the one hand it pushes an

ant anti-obesity -- david zenzenko is the author of the eat this not that series. joy bauer is a registered dietitian. good morning to both of you. it seems a bit schizophrenic here, on the one hand, the govement is saying you got to get healthy and we got to cut down on obesitobesity, on the o hand, the government is saying let's get more cheese into people. >> in this case, it is definitely a mixed message, you've got an agency working at cross purposes and we're literally being drowned in chee. saturated fat is the number through cheese is the number one source of saturated fat in the american diet already. so now you run into a situation where, you know, one ounce of cheese is five grams of saturated fat. >> is it perhaps, joy, that the

government's initial message was working, they were getting people toctually cut down on things like cheese and all of a sudden the cheese producers very crying and saying we need some help? >> that seems to be exactly what's happening and it's very disheartening because we know for health reasons we need to minimize the amounts of full fat cheese that we're eati. it contains a lot of calories, if you eat a lot of calories, it's going to pack on the pounds. >> you said full fat cheese, do we have to be careful not to lump all cheeses into the same category? >> all cheese, if it's full fat, whether it's cheddar or swiss or mozzarella, it's going to have a problem amount of calories and fat. so you want to minimize the amount of full fat you're eating and consider buying reduced fat varieties for the house. >> this is not the reduced fat variety right here, this is a dominos pizza. what are we lking a in terms

of fat and calories. >> this pizza is supposed to feed si but the problem is it's 670 calories and 41 grams of fat per slice. it's a y's worth of saturated fat right in one place. >> what bothers you the most about this, joy? >> the good news is you cou pretty much order a ratively healthy slice of pizza anywhere. you want to ask for thin crust, you want to tell them to go easy on the chees and add a vegetable topping. >> this is a six-cheese pizza, maxed out cheese, just like the government ordered. again you end up with half a day's fat per slic >> this is a kids' meal. let's face it, kids love macaroni and cheese. this is a curley mac and cheese. there's the reason it's named after the dumbest of the three

stooges is because this thing has two days worth of saturated fat. >> for parents out there, joy, how do y come up with a healthier alternative for that? >> you make it at home. the bottom line is restaurant mac and cheese is notoriously bad. if you make it at home, you have full control. >> this cheese penne. you think chicken is a safe bet, but in this case a penne saved is a penne sa erke earned for y weightdecline. >> you have the control of putting on two to three tablespoons, you get that cheesy flavornd you save a lot of fat. >> this is a grilled chicken. >> and it's also grilled in butter. >> you have the fat from the

cheese and it's added insult from the butter. >> try and cut dn on full fat cheese in your diet. >> when buying cheese for your house, try your best to get the reduced fat variety. >> up next, nora effron on everything from aging to divorce [ ma] are you aware that verizon fios brings fiber optics to your home and cable doesn't? yes. -i read that. -i do know that. yes, but there's a contract. at verizon, they want you to have a two year contract. i've got commitment issues. no one likes to be tied down.

vegas, i was meeting her, that's what i was doing in the mall. i know. >> in your last book, i feel bad about my neck was all about getting older. why did you want to go back to that theme? >> you know, weirdly enough, that was about oh, the neck, right, i'm so ntalgic about the days when all i felt bad about was my neck. because sometime in your 60s, it changes and there are other things to feel bad about and one is that you are literally losing your mind, you look okay, you seem to be normal. >> but you're not. >> but your entire life is slowly slipping away and you're so who horrified by the things you do remember. the things -- i met eleanor roosevelt, i met her. ask me whathe was like? >> what was she like? >> i have no idea what she was like. >> what was she wearing? >> i have no idea.

there were drapes, this i remember. >> you remember there re drapes in the room. >> there were drapes and i got lost on the state park way. these are the things that are stuck in my head. >> why do you want to share this? because obviously you're light hearted about it as well. there's a message here, isn't there? >> i would like to share while i canhearted about it. but there's a lot written about getting older when youook at it and you go, are they crazy, when they say it's the best time of your time, et cetera, et cetera. it's a little more complicated than that. so i thought it would be fun to write about. >> you do remember that you've been married three times, and your last marriage is a keeper, so people sort of associate you with divorce. >> i think i do too, i do belie that marriages come and go, but divorce is forever?

and that really if i had to identify myself for a huge part of my life, even after i was happily remarried, i would say i'm divorced. i think that happens when you have kids and it's just a fact. there's no slot on the census sheet to quite describe what you are. there's single, there's married, but that thing, divorced but perhaps remarried, there's nothing quitlike that. >> will you remember this after? >> i hope so. i will definitely remember your coat. >> i'm memorizg your outfit, black. nora ephron, the book is "i remember nothing and other reflecti reflectis." coming up we have a live ♪

urine is actually sterile, so it doesn't have any bacteria. chances are you're going to have more likely cating something from the toilet paper, because when you flush, it actually sprays germs all over the toilet paper. in general, you just want to wash your hands very carefully after you use a public toilet. >> what about toothbrushes, a lot of people, there that's myth if you leave a toothbrush exposed. >> people worry about toothbrushes exposed a catching things in the air. it's really not a big deal. >> wearing foot socks in a public shower will helprotect your feet from germs. >> the shower is probably the worst part of it becse stagnant water really attracts germs, mold, fun gug, everything. yes they protect the bottom of yo feet, b if you're stepping into a pool of water or

a puddle, which you often see in a public shower, it's not going to protect you at all. avoid the shower,on'ttep in any puddles and actually the walls to the shower don't have any germs. i think the safest bet is to wait until you get home. >> next myth is commonly known as the five-second rule. and those of us who are moms and dads, we live by the five-second rule, if it hit the ground and it didn't stay down there long enough to get any ges. >> if it hits the ground for one second, it can have germs. you've been walking on the sidewalk, then you walked into your home. anything from germs, bacteria, fungus, one second is enough for it to latch on to that food. wash it very carefully or just throw it out. >> all right, sorry.

crumbs. you want to use an anti-bacteri wipe, just using a sponge is not enough. sponges can spread more germs. if you do want to use a sponge, soak it in bleach water for a few hours. >> can you really catch something on the makeup counter? >> you actually can. you hav to be most careful about eye makeup and lipstick, the are touching our mucous membranes, the moist partf our bodies can bring in germs. you can get conjunctivitis. try it with -- >> dr. raj, as always, thanks so much. coming up, we're going hear how the children of michael jackson are now coping and what they remember most about their famous dad more than a year after his death.

smart and savvy choices when you're in a new city, a new environment. but you have to pretend that you are an explorer, i do think there is an element of being like a culinary conquistador that you have to embrace. because if you keep eating on the same variations of what you usually eat, you're not seeing the horizons. >> a the fact is, you can actually travel in your own hometown by going outside of your comfort zone. it could be right under your own nose? >> i'm a brooklyn boy born and bread. whether it's going to the red ok ball field and seeing the azing variety of foods there, going to sunset park and having ahenomenal chinese experience, it's really abou embracing the other and taking a risk. >> adam, thank you so much. >> again, a great book, "america

afraid of is home made pie crusts. we're making graham cracker crust, what everye lovesnd could not be easier. you take the melted butter, you pour it in there, you can buy a box ofraham crackers that are already crumbed or you can put it in a blender. you're going to take that, pour it into a pie plate. you have to pack it down, with the measuring cup. you're going to throw that in the oven, bake it in the oven for about ten minutes at 350. you're getting your cinnamon, your nutmeg and all of your gel tans. >> this is the only cook involved? >> ts is the only cooking involved. you don't want scrambled eggs,
