you see feinstein talk about that a lot and she is big and intelligence. that is what her challenge is. >> i talked to find stan -- feinstein and barbara mikulski and i wrote a couple stories about women navigating the senate and in general i think feinstein's point was that the men don't even realize they are giving it sometimes when they are making it harder for us or whatever. but you don't see this explicitly or maybe one person commented that feinstein really doesn't want to embrace those women's issues even though she is a champion for them and will vote every time for abortion rights and all these other kind of things but she wants to be more active on other issues and she is the intelligence chairwoman and i would argue she isn't very well liked considering she has been in the nsa and intelligence community for a lot of americans think of as intrusive programs. but on the other hand you have barbara boxer that seems to embrace being the champion for abortion rights and what not. so it seems to me they are individuals just like everyone else. >> gue

welcome to senator feinstein. and certainly welcome to our colleagues on the committee, especially senator landrieu, who has agreed to say a few words about you before we get started. senator feinstein and senator landrieu have a markup going on right now. they have come here to introduce secretary mayorkas. we are grateful you could come. >> thank you, and i appreciate the courtesy, so thank you. it is a pleasure for me to introduce president obama's nominee for deputy secretary of the department of homeland security, alejandro mayorkas. i have known ali for many years and have been proud to recommend him to president clinton for position of the united states attorney for the central district of california as well as to president obama for his current position as director of the u.s. citizenship and immigration services. the role of deputy secretary within the department is really an important one. the deputy secretary is charged with overseeing the agency's efforts to counter terrorism and enhance the security a

feinstein is on the committee and she is not an attorney. >> she is a former mayor. >> but there are a lot of people who like to talk about the prosecutorial experience. so leahy will often talk about when he was a prosecutor, and that was a while ago because he has been in the senate for a long time. centigram talks of is experiences. >> ted crews and mike leigh and some of these guys to have clerk for supreme court justices and then lawyers and former state attorneys general of to be on that committee. but i wonder, though, this is just might spidey sense about these kinds of things. if i was a republican woman senator, there is no way that i would want to be on the judiciary committee. well let from myself into the middle of human cloning, stem cell research, abortion. forget it. >> that's exactly right. >> i'll vote on it. if you like it would delay and in the book, how they -- they all vote their conscience or vote the way that they think they need to vote on a lot of these women's issues, they often don't take a leading role. if you're on the judiciary committee which is anothe

feinstein talks about that. >> i talked to dianne feinstein and other senators about this when i was a lonely reporter and the road a couple of stories about women in navigating the senate and in general i think the feinstein point was the men don't even realize they're doing it sometimes when they make it harder for us. i think that feinstein doesn't want to embrace those issues even though she is a champion to fight for abortion rights but she wants to be more active on other issues. and i would argue she is not very well liked by now as she defense the nsa in the intelligence community for what americans think is the interest of program. then you have barbara boxer who seems to embrace being the champion for abortion rights. it seems there individuals like someone else or anybody else. >> host: so although feinstein prides herself on potential bipartisan cooperation, reaching across the aisle to get legislation dan, and others are the champion of issues or causes sows to drive this fall for the democratic party who was not looking bipartisan cooperating but the issues before her,

she received her first appointment from then mayor dianne feinstein to the human rights commission. her second appointment came later when a vacancy on the redevelopment agency commission allowed mayor feinstein to recommend mrs. kennedy for that seat. after the passing of supervisor hutch, mayor feinstein appointed ruby kennedy to that vacancy on the board of supervisors. mrs. kennedy accepted and embarked on her mission for change in the city and county of san francisco, particularly paying attention to bayview hunters point community. supervisor kennedy ran three campaigns for reelection on the board of supervisors and was reelected each time. she spent over 15 years on the board. and while here she left quite a legacy. she authored several pieces of legislation some such as the city's affirmative action programs better known as the minority business enterprises, also affectionally known as mbe as well as wbe, many of which we still continue to used to in determining contracts. ~ and diversity. she also authored the south african apartheid legislation which is i think really tell

in this case, i had a colloquy with senator feinstein about this. weakness and not as dissuasive or exemplary or desirable. the dangers of making a miscalculation here. not because it is the way we would like things to be, but because it is the way that the enemy perceives a response to these things and simitian is their goal. our submission is their goal. i guarantee you that they will pursue the closure of guantÁnamo bay as evidence of accomplishment. >> i just have to react to that. because i have to disagree. george washington led armies that left bloody footprints in the snows of valley forge with no certainty that their enterprise would succeed and pledging their lives and fortunes and sacred honor would not put them at the end of a rope. yet they did not torture the hessians. when they caught them, they did not foresee them. you can go on and on with the example of burden in the shadow of hitler's not csm, throwing out other secure intelligence facility, someone had the nerve to lay hands on one of their prisoners partly because they knew it

the cia has been claiming, we heard dianne feinstein say, a tiny number of civilians killed over thentire nine years of cia bombing in pakistan. this document says something entirely different. it says at least 147 civilians, perhaps as high as 220, just in three years. that is a lot of civilians. >> talk about the most significant findings in this report -- i should say we're going to talk about children today, but we will talk about children in pakistan. >> i think the most important thing about -- as you know, the work the bureau does and people like the american foundation, the studies that have taken place in pakistan, are often driven by media reports. what is interesting to me about this document, which was never meant to be published, is it is driven from the inside area and this is from the villages upwards, put together by civilian officials in the tribal areas who pull together information from the towns, from the villages and feed that back up. they're not interested in political grandstanding, they're just saying who got killed, what got destroyed, how many were injured

joining me now is california senator dianne feinstein. thank you for joining us, senator. >> you're welcome. >> i just get the feeling that the u.s., despite these strong military contacts we hear all the time between egypt's military and the u.s. military, doesn't have a lot of sway in egypt when you watch what's going on. >> that may well be true, and i think this is a real point of definition of what kind of egypt is going to come out of this. for the first time, i am very concerned. i'm surprised the military would urge people to go to the streets. they had to know, if they did that, the other side would respond, and it became kind of a catalyst for violence. so i don't think we know what kind of egypt is going to emerge. i think it's very important for this new president and vice president to exert their authority now. it will show whether a democracy, in terms of control of the military, can effectively govern that country. so the next few months, i think, are going to be real eye openers for the world. >> senator, i just want to sh
