though bush did commute libby's sentence so he never had to serve prison time. for that case you wouldn't have... you wouldn't have the pardons office making a judgment. we looked at all the objective factors that the pardons office tells applicants they consider. there's also, you know, numerous subjective factors that are not only hard to measure but really hard to know how they're applied because they seem to be applied differently for very different people. we found case after case of similar people with very similar criteria, nearly identical crimes. you know, they looked good on paper. they were active in their churches. >> ifill: tell us the story about the woman in little rock, the two women in little rock arkansas. >> right. another perfect example. this is really remarkable because they were from the same city, lived near each other. both had committed tax violations. one woman who was african- american, a small business owner, owned her own salon, was accused of under reporting her income on i.r.s. filings over a course of four years. she fought it. b

so tonight, city council members ignacio de la fuente and libby shea will introduce a resolution that calls on the city administerrer to, quote, use whatever lawful tools to prevent future shutdowns or disruptions. this is not a new law but allows police to use federal, state and local laws more aggressively to deal with protestors, including use of batons and tear gas. mayor quan argued that doing so cost the city more money because they have to call in law enforcement from other cities and pay overtime. it cost the city over $2.4 million to deal with the past protestors. the "occupy" protestors say they are concerned about asking cops to deal with peaceful protestors more aggressively. they plan to be at tonight's council meeting to be part of the discussion. >> thank you, anser hassan. >>> the race to recall oakland mayor jean quan is getting more complicated. dueling recalling campaigns are now being allowed to circulate petitions calling for her ousting but only the first campaign to collect enough signatures will be considered valid. if either recall effort collects enough signa

libby let us astray. we thought libya would be the example, that the foreign rescue mission would come to syria. >> i noticed that, too, that the numbers have seemed to increase. we have gone quickly from 3000, 4000, now to 5000. the u.n. said yesterday they feel there may imminently be a major crackdown. are you seeing something that accounts for these numbers escalating so fast? >> i think even those numbers may be slightly -- i think these numbers might be too low. i think we understand the terror has really increased in syria, and the center of the site -- just as they fought the battle against the muslim brotherhood of generation ago, i think assad is intent to do this in this city. one thing that is interesting about this man is that he lives in his own parallel universe. let me just read one thing from that's famous interview with barbara walters. when asked about the crackdown, the man said, "they are not my forces. they are military forces that along to the government. i do not own them. i do not

after all, this is the kind of case that brought down scooter libby and martha stewart years ago.ave to prove is that a statement was made, usually it's recorded, it's underoath or there's a written transcript, it's made in writing to begin with. and that the statement was knowingly made to be false. and can you do that by showing other statements that were made to the contrary, showing document that is were red. it's not that difficult to prove compared to other crimes. >> bp, of course, not just potentially facing this from prosecutors, but also nose other cases being sued by local resident notice gulf coast? >> yes, there are many thousands of lawsuits that were filed against bp. now, if those cases are successful and surely many of them will be, what they'll result in is the payment of money damages. criminal charges are much more serious, people are looking at jail time if they violated the law. on these false statement charges it's generally somewhere between probation and five years. if it's a first time offender we're probably talking about probati probation. these particu

in libby, montana, even though the mine closed in 1990, the e.p.a. believes that the current conditions continue to present significant ongoing threats to public health. there remains significantly higher rates of asbestos related disease in libby compared with the national average. too bad that the managers of the mine told their workers that the dust they inhaled was just, quote, nuisance dust and would have no permanent effect. h.r. 1633 would also exempt lead and cadmium particulates from the clean air act because they are natural materials, activities involving lead and cadmium such as sefment kilns and smelters are typical in rural areas, and they produce lead and cadmium without combustion. sounds safe, right? unfortunately, cadmium is a known human car sin began. -- carcinogen. lead is a potent neuro toxin. infants and young children are especially sense thive to even low levels of lead, which may contribute to behavioral problems. is that what this distinguished body really wants to do? actually take steps to cause behavioral problems, learn

interfering with the press, understand the constitutional basis for it, and whether they like it or not, libbyumstances. that accounts for maybe 90% or more of the 34,500 new york city police officers. the second group is much smaller. they know the rule and understand the constitutional basis for it. and they don't care about the constitution or the rule. and they violate it at will. and the third group is the smallest of all. they are the cops who don't know the rule exists, wouldn't understand the constitutional basis if it was explained to them, and have no idea they're violating a rule and the constitution when they violate that rule. there is only one way for the nypd to seriously deal with the outlaw cops who willfully or ignorantly violate this rule. they must be çfired. not disciplined. not lose some vacation days. they must be fired, firing them is the only way to demonstrate that the nypd respects the constitution of the united states of america. the nypd could fire every one of the thugs with badges who have attacked reporters this year and not miss them for a minute. the quality
