house not only robbed of the deserves praise but also of the credibility trust between the united states administration international media and the public at large in the united states take a stand afghanistan and other countries. many americans could barely contain that delight at the news of bin laden's death which out of this nor how often it's has people in new york whether the celebrations were premature. was the killing of osama bin ladden a major victory in the war on terror this week let's talk about that there is definitely think it was a victory i don't know if a necessarily agree with everyone rejoicing in the streets but i mean i think it's a good positive step for the country so how is it positive bad if it's making a celebrated statements that well positive just from the perspective that it's a one was a horrible person out there in the world the one most terrorist in the world that we have to worry about i think they will be effect on their side and for us we just of a lot better why do we need to feel better about it what do you think that does for us closure. closure the whole psycholo

clarify that the average size of existing units becomes the minimum size for replacement units, to ease administration and enforceability of the replacement unit requirement for the staff, all of these minor technical amendments are based on requests from the rent board staff, and i did want to emphasize to the committee members we have been in continual dialogue with staff for the last six months over how to improve the readability and enforceability of section four of the development agreement. a minor revision was made as well to the annual reporting requirements. all of you may remember that state law requires that the director present an annual report to the planning commission and the board on the progress of the development agreement and status of the developer was a compliance with it. we just made some revisions at the suggestion of the city attorney to clarify that reporting rule. most significantly, and the city attorney is here today also to answer questions about this change, section four 0.1 0.2 -- 4.1.2, a new section was added acknowledging and incorporating an express exception allowe

if this works well for the united states, if the administration plays its cards right and handles this right, we could have democratic governments in the mideast, most of which are aligned with the u.s. we won't need dictators anymore. we could bring democratic governments to power which would be aligned with the u.s. that would be a wonderful thing for the future of the united states and the world. on the other hand, it's possible that you would wind up with crazy islamic regimes, that somehow they'll say well, osama is done. he's or martyr. now we have to unite in islamic brotherhood. that's very dangerous in the united states. so much at stake and on the table now. >> alan, do you believe as jack does the terror threat level of the united states may have to be elevated? we may all have to be watching more closely in wake of death of osama bin laden bin, that if he really does become this martyr figure and it does sort of motivate some of these crazy people to try to create harm here? >> i think that's right. i think not much we can do about that among some fa nat cal followers he wi

question why not western pakistan just one week before encoders leader was killed and to us jones administration united hundreds of protesters furious that another twenty five people were killed in a strike to commit to middlemount of civilian dollars into the hundreds. kareem had lost his son and. rather in two thousand and nine attack a drone operator miles away from here pushed the button when it was night in pakistan and koreans how family was sleeping in. school may or may or may may or meant for. their this being a war. and the would be a country with many people sharing this opinion pakistani officials are warning the u.s. is fuel an insurgency rather than cooling it they harm more than be held because of the political damage is their version of the civilians in the. americas reaction has been varied the white house first accused pakistan of not doing enough to counter terror before the us changed its tactics finally addressing pakistan's calls to access america's drone technology to despite signs of a peace offering and generic and sentiment has continued rising u.s. plans to extend its militar

united states. the administration, the white house. it will be interesting to see in what form the evidence is presented. as leaders have met their end in the iraq war, for example. sometimes, a gruesome death photos have been released through the media to prove death to a skeptical parts of the world. we will have to wait and see. for now, what we do know, the president of the united states walked into the east room of the white house, announcing that the founder of al qaeda, had been killed. >> tonight i can report to the world, that the united states conducted an operation that killed osama bin laden, a person responsible for the murder of thousands of innocent men, women and children. it was nearly ten years ago, eye bright september day was darkened. the images of 9/11 are seered into our memory. hijacked planes tlud a cloudness sky. smoke billowing up from the pentagon, the wreckage of flight 93 in shanksville, pennsylvania, where the actions of heroic citizens saved even more heart break and destruction. we know that the worst i

would grade like bob graham chrism it tells the whole world that the united states is nothing by torturing the obama administration came in and it is part of his first statement one of his first proclamations he said we're going to close this because it's such a. blemish on the image of the united states and yet two years later guantanamo is open the military commission for all is our starting the obama administration and hillary clinton need to find a way to walk back from their earlier position that they had pledged to close this torture center so this becomes a convenient pretext to maintain this ugly awful torture center under the aegis of the united states government what do you think about the timing of this is just a few weeks after obama announced her reelection run do you think that's a coincidence i don't think it's a coincidence i think there's a lot of politics they say they've been at watching this facility for a long time since at least august two thousand and ten just remember osama bin laden according to this story was living in a mansion eight times larger than any nearby home just thirty five mil

international community to help resolve the longstanding conflict are being blocked by the united states the obama administration has blocked the u.n. security council resolution that would have condemned the israeli settlements mention the ego and to write a resolution that would have given some kind of a mandate to force these three weeks to stop it president obama also said the u.s. would oppose the u.n. recognition of the state of palestine and we do know that the palestinians all want to push for the recognition of their state at the u.n. in september let me add that the whole of the international community supports the idea of the true state solution and the nine hundred sixty seven border lines as a basis for that solution although president obama said he shares that say you it was nothing but words he what he has said because at the same time he said a go way back to nine hundred sixty seven border lies doesn't actually mean going back to nine hundred sixty seven one of life he was talking about lance last sloss the palestinians are only likely to accept the he said peace cannot be imposed on the parties

administration's plans for aiding libyan opposition economically and militarily? and to have confidence in the people somewhere providing this assistance? for the promoters of a military operations related to libya costing the united states backs and how much is the administration prepared to spend overtime? and fifth in the aftermath of the current civil war, what responsibility united states assume for reconstruction of libya? there are many other questions that require an answer, but this illustrates the degree to which the united states goals on resources and strategy related to libyan remain open and undefined. in addition, libyan operations have not been adequately placed in a broader strategic context. given all that is at stake in pakistan, afghanistan, iran, saudi arabia, egypt, syria, yemen, and elsewhere in the islamic world, a rational strategic assessment would never devote a sizable military, diplomatic, economic and aligns resources to a civil war in libya. when measured against other regional problems, libya appears as a military conflict in which we have let events determine our involvement instead of our vital interest. it is an expensive diversion that leaves the united states and her european a

studio with sean donnegan who served as an intelligence research specialist for the united states drug enforcement administration from one thousand nine eight of two thousand and eleven also designs from philadelphia's major neill franklin a thirty three year law enforcement veteran of both the maryland state police and baltimore police forces he worked the streets investigated who supervised and trains up trained others and oversaw seventeen drug task forces he has seen colleagues die in the line of fire unnecessarily in the war on drugs and is now the executive director of law enforcement but a website up to fifty. so i got leap saying see government thank you so much for being with us tonight neal first to you the response from attorney general holder yesterday when presented with the promise of law enforcement against prohibition about saving officers' lives and ending the war on drugs was met with a very curt response just that's not right were you surprised by his condemnation of leap. i was really surprised risings we were expecting a little bit more and i expected a little bit more thought i expected in

administration's realizing for key issues there is a important human rights component. they can no longer be separated. they need to speak up because these have visceral impact on the united states and u.s. consumers. >> woodruff: in just the few minutes we have left, robert kapp, how wise is it, how smart is it for the obama administration to push this subject now? >> i think americans understand that in global affairs, the united states with its many partners and adversaries as well needs to walk and chew gum at the same time. there is no way that you can say this issue and this issue alone is going to define everything else in the relationship. that's what the strategic and economic dialogue is all about. we haven't talked about the economic dimensions of it. they are extremely important and the discussions i think seem to have been very positive and very productive. the united states and this administration in particular i think understands that walking and chewing gum go with the territory just as they do with many other countries with whom we have complex relationship. india, even pakistan. you can't have it all in one basket. i think our friends in the human rights

who organized the revolution whom i spend a lot of time with, they feel that the united states and the obama administratione to the party late. they offered very little. so they were a hard sell. i don't think that there was anything that president obama said that really swayed them. i would argue that he did try to present at the broadest level the idea that the united states is squarely behind this democratic wave, that while there are going to be variations from country to country, in general, the united states supports what is going on in the arab world. and he tried to put the united states behind the aspirations of the arab people. i think it will take more than simply saying it to convince the arab people of that. and that's what i've been discovering talking to people here. >> and to that point, how hard is it, at a time when we know u.s. credibility is low to begin with, for the president to sell himself as a friend of reform, when he admits there are inconsistences and critics would sayypocrisies in his approach. he'll talk against the violence in syria and against the violence in libya, but he i

boundaries of the law in order to try to quietly import used drugs into the united states so you know obama administration did george's execution drug because they realized that a broken federal law trying to obtain them but at the same time billabong administration had. the f.d.a. rather the druggist ration had sort of thrown its hands up and said this is not for us to regulate we're not relating execution drugs so it's a little bit of even a response from the federal government or. insurance here but. ration makes a healthy on its own book and lethal injection as it don't matter at all if you're killing prisoners it just hasn't started right right and i do want to point out the irony one of the stories we're talking about in our editorial meeting earlier was how the f.d.a. regulates breast milk and the failing use of breast milk for women in the united states but of course death penalty drives a whole different matter it's one quote that actually really stood out to me in your piece was from a report that you cited that said the way in which texas actually human executes human beings is quote riskier le

if we are overproducing oil and gas in the united states, why is the administration telling existing lease holders they have to use or lose the leases that we have? it is an ideological fixation that says we have to discourage production of oil and gas even though about 80% of our energy needs are -- come from fossil fuels, because we prefer alternative forms of energy. well, i do, too. you know, solar panels, wind, biodiesel -- these alternative sources of energy are important, but we simply don't have enough of them to keep our economy moving and to remain -- and keep prices low for our domestic production, our domestic consumers, i should say. well, another part of this mixed message is our dependency on imported oil. on march 30, 2011, president obama was called -- called for reducing foreign imports by a third. but then he went to brazil recently when he told the people of brazil that he encouraged offshore drilling in brazil. and he said that america wanted to be brazil's best customer. in other words, other than producing what we have been given by the good lord right here in

at so cal high school in santa cruz county after administrators accused them of being white supremecists. symbols of racism have appeared. other united states dents include hateful graffiti and swastikas around the campus. administrators took action when five seniors wore white t-shirts in their class picture. it violated the gang policy. >> we don't want people affiliated with gangs or hate groups. it is a problem. it is a problem if those students are intimidating other students. >> they thought it was a joke, and then it got out of hand, and they didn't realize how it offended people, and they should have known people. -- they should have known better. >> they fear an off campus white supremecist group might have tried to recruit students. >>> a high school teacher from merced county is charged with keeping explosives in her classroom and helping kids inhale a dangerous chemical. the prosecutors accuse 34-year-d hundorf of making nitro glis ride in her classroom while students are present. a bomb squad and a hazardous materials team removed the dangerous chemical from her classroom yesterday. the bomb squad detonated that material

this is a huge development on the part of the united states and this administration. u.s., it's an enormous shot in the arm to the armed forces. we have to remind ourselves, we've had 47,000 killed and wounded confronting terrorism since 9/11. so i think this is very good news. very much look forward to what the president has to say about the tools we used to get osama. it won't in the short run affect the war in afghanistan dramatically, but it's definitely good news for america. >> andrea mitchell, it's worth also reminding our viewers, the president gets a presidential daily briefing, as well as a threat matrix of major threats against the united states. and there has been a question about the extent to which osama bin laden has been able to direct what al qaeda was capable of as a centralized terrorist organization or a splinter organization that operates anywhere almost anytime after it effectively got shut down in afghanistan and forced across the border, where most of al qaeda operatives are believed to be, which is in that rugged land between afghanistan and pakist
