so my friend and i, lori gordon, we sued hastings, which included judge hastings, one of the great lawyers and judges at that time and oh, they were mad and oh, did they fight us, all the way up to the california supreme court. and we won. and became the first woman law student. now i hung up my shingles. throngs of clients did not come to my door and those who did had little or no money. i began to defend them and they didn't care that i was a woman. they just wanted someone who would fight for them and would win, which i did a lot of. but then there is also -- there were a few of those judges and prosecutors that were a different story when it came to being around women. i remember this one prosecutor in san francisco. >> she's a woman! she cannot be expected to reason. god almighty has decreed her limitations. but you can reason. and you must use your factor you mights of reason -- faculties of reason to find against this young woman. >> oh, my! i am that formidable, terrifying object known as women. while he is only a poor, helpless, defenseless man. and he wants you to take pity on hi

which brings me to another topic that we were actually discussing a while back which is michael hastings wrote the journalist who wrote the. article that essentially got general mcchrystal fired right and there was some question over and if you break ground rules did he have more ability to say what he wanted to say and report truthfully because he didn't have to worry about keeping these relationships that have beat reporter would for now he's been denied his embed any surprise there i mean is the pentagon right to do that i'm not surprised because in order to allow reporters to come in and see your operation from the inside out there has to be a level of trust and i have to say that michael hastings. does not enjoy that same level of trust and part of this is you know whether was a misunderstanding whether it was it made clear i think clearly some people in military thought the some of the things he observed were to be off the record and he says nothing was ever off the record don't you think michael hastings kind of has some gall to expect to be able to embed i mean that's the trade o

i think that what we have to follow is a different analysis and this is one that hasted to first with the environmental issues that came before us and the adequacy of the -- i have yet to see a perfect project and i have yet to see a project that ad addresses all of the issues that need to be addressed, especially a project of this complexity or magnitude. let me say that i am very appreciative for all the people that have worked on this issue whether it is the proponents of the project, the project sponsors, staff, or the opponent. everyone who has participated has made this project a better project. i have learned a lot and i think for me, this is probably one of the most difficult decisions i have had to make simply because of the magnitude and complexity of all of the issues that have been involved. in the end, with something as controversial and difficult, there will be people who will be happy or unhappy with whatever choice you make but i am trying to make the best choice that i can. i am satisfied that even though there are issues that this -- that remain, other amendments hav

we're going to talk about that with michael hastings in a moment. first jim miklaszewski is at the pentagon >> good morning. it's been a couple of months since the story that forced general mcchrystal out of the army. but the fallout in media relations is far from over. on his last day as a soldier general stan mcchrystal managed to joke about the article that ended his career. with a word of warning to his fellow soldiers. >> i have stories on all of you. photos on many. and i know a "rolling stone" reporter. >> reporter: that reporter is michael hastings. in an interview on "today" in june, hastings explained how he landed that "rolling stone" scoop. >> actually, it was almost a throwback to the old days of fly on the wall reporting, where, nowadays, it's almost so controlled, it's always very so controlled. so it was very rare to get this kind of access anyway. >> reporter: but not anymore. the u.s. military has revoked hastings' recent request to embed with american forces in afghanistan. after first granting the request last month. pentagon spo

this morning hastings sits down with meredith on the "today" show. he said he stands by his article and is troubled by the military's decision. >> i've been doing this for five years. gone on dozens of embeds with troops, been on many combat missions, traveled with senior military officials and never had an issue. >> you can catch the rest of that issue coming up on the "today" show. >> want to check in with mike and a look at the morning commute. >> i will give an update on that motorcycle accident on the skyway in san francisco. the car involved has been taken away. there was a car reportedly hit by one of those motorcycles. the two motorcycles still clearing from the highway. some tow trucks coming from the san francisco side. about the same amount of slowing we saw ten minutes ago speeds dipping down towards 20 and 30 which is a typical slow spot any way. no major issues for the area. the metering lights not turned on. over here, slowing out of the city headed towards the golden gate. the golden gate bridge issue is a bit of mist that occurred ov
