one way of conducting the war was to have conferences periodically, various locations, and the president would come sometimes and lyndon johnson came to the conference in honolulu in february of 1966, and westmoreland came from vietnam as did the two senior vote vietnamese as they then were, and the point of this conference was to boost american support for passification, which you've heard me say westmoreland ignored and the intelligence chief said passification and so on, and so it's not just lyndon johnson focusing on kill more vc, although he said that lots of times, but now we have to get past the passification effort if we're every going to get out of here. i put words in his mouth, but that's the implication of what he said, so we go back to vietnam with that -- those instructions, and william c. westmoreland says retrospecktively, i was getting pressure after pressure after pressure to pay more attention to passification, and i wasn't going to do that at the expense of leaving off the war of the -- against the enemy's main forces. now, i don't know how you view that, but that see

the definition in the newspaper, you know, and it says that somebody who commits various killings with cooling off periods in between. >> tell me why you don't fit into that definition of a serial killer. let's say, ted bundy, who was out when you were out. >> i don't feel like i have anything in common with the dude. just completely different type of person, you know? a lot of these other serial killers, they were just into one thing, strangling women and stuff like that. see, they've been trying to associate me with the scum bags like ted bundy who were killing innocent women, you know, and take everything political away from my case over and over again you've been hearing serial killer this, serial killer that, to try to incite hatred against people like me. you know? i was motivated by love of the white race. >> joseph is a serial killer. and he's different from other serial killers just like they're different from him. there's no one profile of a serial killer. so you have cases where you a sniper. >> and why i was not a sniper. >> so you really have both. >> in 1977, joseph paul franklin, aged 27, i

various and your huge. family's house was burnt down during a period of particularly communal violence the indian government has said that around two. hundred pundits were killed in the ten years since the insurgency began but other organizations say the number of killings could be as high as three thousand as a result ganju witnessed a mass exodus of his people in the past twenty years hundreds of thousands of pundits have migrated from kashmir causing the population to shrink from one hundred thousand to around three thousand while many have started to come back most they still face discrimination despite obtaining a master's degree since his father's death ganju says he has been unable to hold down a steady job and it's been living in a tiny on his room with his mother and brother and because of their tiny numbers in kashmir many pundits like him believe they will always be largely ignored by those in political power there is news and if you give him a thumbs up the packages will resume with some possibility otherwise even the relieving the few families we will soon have because you know i think i will l

period of seven years. between the years 2000 and 2007, 8 people of turkish origin were killed in various cities across the country. a policewoman was also killed. questions are being asked as to how the group got away with the killings and a series of bank robberies, despite being under police surveillance. media reports also suggested the group may have had contacts within a state intelligence service. here is a closer look at the case which has gripped the nation. >> 19908, police discovered a bomb making shop and weapons. warrants were issued for three suspects. they were never captured. the german news magazine is reporting the trio had links to a local neo-nazi group. it included a paid informant. that has raised questions about how the suspects for able to evade the police for so long. >> it certainly received help and protection would then be -- within the neo-nazi group. whether they also received covered from employees of state agencies is not something i am informed about. >> part of this house in these east german city was granted by the trio. just over a week ago, a bomb went off in the buildi

there was a period of time when the cot in the back of the store was a drop off for various disassembled armaments. sometimes someone we didn't know would put something under the mattress, making the cot unusable for several days. someone would come by and take the hardware away in a shopping bag and that would be it for a week or so. there was often a black photographer who would come to the shop with an empty shopping bag. when he left, he with leave in a zigzag and eventually get on a bus going south. >> i wanted to read a poem that was sent by the poet that i invited to the recent san francisco international poetry festival from iraq i've been in touch with for more than a year and a half. after the united states would not give him his visa, i asked him -- i told him about mutanabbi street and he wrote a poem and he wrote it in english, though he writes in, of course, in arabic. but this one he wrote in english. so i'll read it. one figure in the poem you should know, humbaba, which is an ogre, a monster of immemorial age. that was a special big garden, a forest, where all types of t

one way of conducting the war was to have conferences periodically, various locations, and the president would comment, sometimes. and lyndon johnson came to the conference in honolulu in february 1966, and westmoreland came from vietnam, and so did the two senior vietnamese, president chu and the vice president as they then were. and the point of this conference was to boost american support for classification. which you've already heard me say, westmoreland ignored and his intelligence said, and someone. and so it's not just lyndon johnson focusing on gilmore vc, although lots of times when he said that, but now he is saying hey, we've got to get past the effort ever going to ever get out of here. i'm putting words in his mouth but that's the invitation of what he said. so we go back to vietnam with those instructions, and westmoreland says, retrospectively, i was getting pressure after pressure after pressure to pay more attention to pacification. and i wasn't going to do that at the expense of leading off the war against the enemy's main forces. now, i don't know how you hear that bu

documentation showing cain flew her to various cities, stayed with her in expensive hotels and gave her gifts. >> i have acknowledged i have known her for that period of time. but the accusation i had a 13-year affair with her, no. >> i was aware he was married and i was also aware i was involved in a very inappropriate situation, relationship. >> although white says she thought the relationship was fun at the time, she decided to speak publicly after she saw cain demonize other women. she has 66 calls made from cain. cain says the calls were made because he was trying to help this woman out financially. >>> well, tonight police think this is the man wanted for abducting and robbing three men in montgomery county. he is targeting shoppers busy putting their bags into their cars. well, tonight we wanted to see just how aware other people are when they're leaving the store. we sent our delia gongalves to find out. she is live in wheaton with the warning for all you christmas shoppers out there. delia. >> reporter: that's right, derek. you know, e robbery victims may have all been elderly men, but women, even the young, should all be alert, especially

number of cross corroborations between the children and adult witnesses who saw various acts over time, over a long period major characteristics, the hallmarks of a child preference shal sex offender. the allegations cross a great span of time in this case. he has specific sexual interests. he is interested in apparently preadolescent boys. he has well developed techniques to get access to these kids and he is fantasy driven behaviors so he has all of the hallmarks of a sex offender. >> what kinds can parents look for if they are worried about a relationship their child may be having with a parental figure? >> look for people who want to spend more time with their children outside of the program. basically, if they are seeing an adult who is asking the child on trips, asking to have them come over for overnight stays, even spending too much time with the child, adults typically get tired of being around young children. i mean, children are sort of like puppies. they are cute and they are playful, but after awhile, they start chewing on things, they start getting in your way, and so the average adult will

a pro settlement government period it's not a government that is really that interested in negotiating with the palestinians in trying to reach an agreement because various this government is not anywhere near ready to pay the price that the palestinians and the international community consider fair and what i personally consider fair who are to make the peace and to set up a two state solution this government is not ready to make those kinds of concessions on land and settlements and borders and everything else and given the previous little girls and build settlements provided but that's ok if israel is going to give in in any way obviously there's a lot of international pressure as we saw yesterday with palestinian accession to unesco does that end any way perhaps pave the way towards palestinian statehood i mean is it i know symbolic but it is perhaps that something to be optimistic for from the palestinian point of view forget about israel's point of view. i think it's i think it's a positive move it got a lot of support from europe there's no reason i mean i mean anybody who is genuinely in favor of a palestinian state of the two state solution shou

they congregated in the various intersections near frank ogawa plaza. xi >>jackie: there was a tense period of time but then it became a standoff. police had their shields, they never advanced beyond the intersection. the police is definitely take a different strategy this time hall. >>james: if you can panier camera to the right, candy show was the diminished crowds? in that intersection was fairly gm earlier this morning. >>craig: there is a lot of news media. >>james: it is one of those situations when you know you are done. >>darya: not only is it happening where people are trying to get around oakland in to get to work, this city has delayed business until 10:00 a.m. call and then we're talking about activities that at the library at 4:00 p.m.. that will be during the commute home. let's talk about the effect on traffic right now. >>george: we still have street closure is in effect. we have heard reports that from as far south as 11th street which would be down here, with the perimeter of franklin street here, just east of broadway and clay street right here, for my money or better off

was kind of a hangover, not literally, but over a period of time when people referred to the stories of a building, it came to be known as the various levels of a building. >> so when they had a new story to tell, it was as similar we as adding on to the top of the building. >> they with not do that just to tell a story. >> why not? anything is possible? >> apparently. >> i am a believer. it seems like a viable answer. >> i think so too. store cruz, you hear people say that is i 15-story building. it is somewhat arbitrary because the left of a story, the height of a story changes from building to building. generally speaking, a story is about 10 feet. we're out of time. if you have a high ceiling, then stories could be at least the first story could be bigger than the second story ysm real quick, how many hotels and buildings still don't have a 13th floor or story. >> also, story is typically spelled s-t-o-r-e-y by the british. it is did i have report over there. thank you for the -- it is different over there. thank you for the question. i hope our stories entertained you. >> some medieval music. >> if have you a question you want

this will be a discouraging period in my view fraught with a variety of challenges to security as various factions vow for power or vie for power rather in countries where tyrants rule for decades. armed conflict, riots, and civil unrest will be fueled by political, civil, tribal, religious, and criminal elements while jihaddists of various stripes attempt to exploit the chaos for their own benefit. by the way, i commend to those who have not seen it, the cogent testimony on this subject by brian jacobs. rand corporation earlier this month before the house armed services subcommittee on emerging threats and capabilities. al-qaeda quickly attempted to align itself in uprising suiting events to its own narrative as defeats of u.s.-backed tyrants like mubarak, gadhafi, and salah. at least they will be deprived of that argument when they fall in syria, and the mulahs are eventually turned down in iran which brings us to the second topic of my remarks, the far more vexing state of affairs that iran's bo -- belligerent actions brought into sharp focus. two events form my view of strong coalitio

three-week period talking to dozens of sources across the country and then ultimately the story about the two women itself, those details were taken from a half a dozen sources who knew various elements of those two cases. so, you know, current and former staffers of the organization, current and former board members of the organization and sources here in washington who work with the organization, piers. >> okay. jonathan martin, thank you very much. >> thank you. >>> so is herman cain playing the race card or not? joining me is larry elder author of "what's race got to do with it" and ronald kennedy. welcome to both of you. randall kennedy, is herman cain playing the race card or is the race card being played against him here? >> well, to the extent that he has said that one of the reasons that this is coming up is because of race, it seems to me he's using race as a propaganda weapon here. after all, there's no evidence that racism is behind these allegations and typically speaking he seems to be pretty exacting in requiring some evidence before he's willing usually to say that there's racism. two weeks ago he said that race doesn't have much to do in the lives of black a
