almost no other has been able to do. >> what is the chick crisis for newspapers and has the new york times figured out a way to have people pay for content been able to overcome it? >> i never knew why it was ever debated that peopleho read, get the new york times through the technology shouldn't pay for it. say young people are accustomed to paying for very little, it is not true, they pay for going to college and you get an education by reading the new york times, i think beyond what you are in college, don't know why that should ever have been an issue, the times from the very beginning when there was an opportunity to show itself through the technolo andays beyond just the printed page that we see kicked under our door every morning, i think it should have been paid, i think maybe a strategic error was made by the corporate part of the morkt not to charge, to think that you could make enough by just giving it away, ll that was absurd because that underestimates the value of the very work you guys do every day, and before your genation there was another generation doing the same thing, trying as well

we have a "new york times" report from helene here the other day -- $15 billion the first year we were over there. $120 billion. we keep hearing about there's no shovel-ready projects in detroit. how come they're spending all this money over there? >> that's the sales job that the president has to make is that, why are you rebuilding afghanistan and not rebuilding america? but military officials that i speak to say, look, we're drawing down the costs. they're going to drop already this year from $160 billion to $120 billion. we're drawing down. the white house says we're drawing down from a position of strength. but there's still so much money being spent in afghanistan. and with the public now acutely aware of our budget deficit, how do you make the argument that we should be spending that amount of money in iraq and afghanistan? chris: how does he tell it to the unions and the democrats that we have to spends all this money over there? >> that is his fundamental question. and the problem is that you're having democrats now saying very, very publicly, where's our jobs? we tonight have

i personally would do a solution proposed by mark weisbrot i mentioned before in a new york times. for a memorandum on their payments of the greek interest. the greek in there is so that we will be able to negotiate with our european partners haircut of our loan even economists with a well known but i love british magazine proposed the haricot of the order of magnitude of fifty percent then we could use a money in order to finance their recovery or far economy because you see the memorandums and there was barely the package is the result is the. gold that export development and this is unsustainable all right petros constantino columnist at the an in athens daily newspaper thank you very much for your analysis. live from moscow if you're watching are to you we've got more news stories coming up for you this hour. no one person in this country of all the other three to prove the united states here the three who is taking democracy away from us citizens are to look at how one american town has lost its elected officials. in libya says the international criminal court is just a cover f

obama illegally spying on american journalists that's what pulitzer prize winning journalist a new york times reporter james ries says in an affidavit he filed earlier this week after publishing a book detailing the cia's mission to sabotage iran's nuclear program rise and claims the cia started monitoring his in going and outgoing calls to discover his sources this surveillance began under the bush administration and continues through the obama administration rising argues that the cia campaign against him will have a chilling effect on freedom of the press in the united states so how is this allowed to happen in a nation that's supposed to have freedom of press for more on this story i'm joined by stephen webster senior editor ross three dot com stephen welcome. pleasure to be you're great to have you with us. first of all my recollection was that when the cia was formed out of the o. s. s. and over the years since then it was illegal for the cia to involve itself in domestic surveillance if they wanted to know something that's been going on domestically they had to turn over the f.b.i. why

that even worse an orange armchair speculation the washington post which you just showed in a new york times have pete reporters in tripoli who are obviously living in an alternate universe because what they were reporting there dateline's out of tripoli were had nothing in common with what we all saw on the ground first of all they were saying you know schools were closed and i watched the kids go to school yes things are not normal in tripoli long gas lines because of the sanctions imposed there's some shortages of food because of collective punishment is being applied by nato or blocked by the courts are blocked including fishing boats and can't see for seafood and so yes it's very similar what goes on in gaza with the collective punishment on those people there but but he has a lot of support in tripoli there was a report today from the murdoch normal rupert murdoch x. . distributors of propaganda wall street journal in particular saying that cannot if he's getting ready to flee tripoli why would he has total support from tripoli all the way to the tunisian border we had to go by car we

promised was not to overthrow the regime and get gadhafi out of there but then was revealed in a new york times op ed by obama and sarkozy and cameron that that was indeed the the exact aim of this and then there was the promise that there would be no ground troops involved and now the footage is just emerged in the last couple of days showing foreign presumably british special forces on the ground and rising the libyan so-called democratic rebels so so i think it's just a lie after lie and i think that pretty adequately exposes the fact that this is not ultimately about humanitarian intervention. what do you think has to happen in order for the alliance to consider its mission fulfilled in libya. i think that the . cowardice will not stop until gadhafi has been. unseated from from power whether that spy force or whether he actually goes acquiesce in the end i'm not sure that that particularly matters i think it. and evitable end here is regime change and i don't think anything's going to stop until that happens do you think that's why the ninety extra days have been have been put out there i m

a. new york times suggested that there's you know trying to come up with some logic about why europe is all concerned about the debt crisis and let's throw the money basically at the top at the bondholders let's keep them safe safe and solvent what happened here with the banking that we were just talking about why everybody's talking about. tax cuts and not about jobs and these kinds of things that the and the most macro sense in the in the biggest picture possible he said maybe this is all about what randy a's you know the old kind of henry george notion even going back to that economic school or or arguably even ricardo if you go back to the value theory of labor and take it forward anyway that it's the that let's protect the bondholders basically let protect wealthy people right let's protect the well mr to sions right and and to hell with the middle class to hell with the working people. what do you think is that is could that be what's really driving economic policy right now in this is and i'm not going to look at obama going to know what i was just. you know i've been writing abo
