what happened is that you know some hack sitting in the pentagon bureau of a.b.c. news needs to justify his salary and he either didn't read my article or it just was so easy to spin that it came natural to him when that when he was approached by a us official said that i had reported that the u.s. was running a counterterrorism detention facility in somalia what i had reported is exactly what i said and that is that the u.s. is paying the salaries of the somali agents that it is officially run by the somalis but that u.s. agents are able to openly interrogate them they see that made the focus of the story we don't have any black sites we're not running a black site inside of somalia and implied to my story needed to be undermined because it wasn't true the fact of the matter is that the obama administration announced in january of two thousand and nine the president himself that he was going to be shutting down these black sites leon panetta the director of cia said in april of two thousand i that he was decommissioning the black sites and what i am covered there is th

and a.b.c. news did stories on their websites that in the case of c.n.n. didn't even mention my report and just basically reprinted a press release from the cia saying that you know they were just assisting the somali government a.b.c. news did something far more insidious they mischaracterized what i reported and then had a u.s. official responding and denying something that i didn't even say which is that the u.s. was running a counterterrorism detention facility what i said is exactly what i reported and that is that the u.s. is paying the salaries of somali agents who are operating in underground prison and that u.s. of officials are interrogating prisoners there that is one hundred percent true and no one from the government will come forward to deny it because they know it's true and so these media outlets are serving as conveyor belts for the propaganda of the central intelligence agency which is very good at spin and lastly i just want to ask we have there have been some critics out there people that say they even disclose national security secrets

and fox news an a.b.c. and n.b.c. one about time you saw something like that well i mean it was going to last case of you know a white girl going down a well it was gary condit it was o.j. simpson but you know i've been with him again maybe absolutely i mean this was just a girl so i mean look we see these cases all the time and we're going to we're going to see more of jon benet ramsey i mean the list goes on this is what this is what made cable news. frankly was was these type of cases that i really have no bearing on anyone's life i mean frankly o.j. simpson the famous retired football player but it is his case had absolutely nothing to do with anyone's lives other than as a you know who shot jr on dallas did one last time you saw someone from the most trusted name in you did topless covered in my adding tweeting that picture of a tough well maybe i'm not watching them enough. but you know we have to frisk i think i mean you know fox news has has always had that type of you know celebrity girl or wolf blitzer made

haven country as a home as a safe place to be you know that a.b.c. news in the united states was calling in saying this is a day of horror in norway one of the most peaceful countries in the world a shock you know reeling from terror. people have to people who are responsible for participating in in terrorism in the world which includes the united states these nato countries and committing violence against innocent people in other parts of the world have to be prepared for some sort of retaliation and it's only going to escalate we're going to see far more attacks whether again perhaps this is an individual a mad man work if it is then the cultural who are in norway has caused this individual to be part of that he can get the weapons to commit this violence but if it's a more organized thing which is part of the globe back against norway then i'd say we're going to see a lot more of that in scandinavian countries who are not the peaceful countries that we're led to believe that they are there's a blot on that dripping from the hands of people in norway ju

this the american people have spoken and it's time republicans and democrats listen according to a new a.b.c. washington post poll sixty two percent of americans want to see a balanced approach to raising the debt limit that includes both spending cuts and revenue increases and when it comes to what sort of revenue raisers the american people want to see republicans heads are about to explode a lobbying seventy two percent of americans support raising taxes on people who make more than a quarter million dollars a year only twenty seven percent oppose not only that large majorities of americans also support raising the social security tax gap closing the hedge fund manager tax loophole and cutting off taxpayer subsidies for big oil corporations curiously none of these reforms are part of the game. young as six deal is now all the rage on capitol hill but a new gallup poll renders what's going on top capitol hill today completely meaningless according to gallup most of us frankly don't give a damn about the debt but as with the most important problems facing this country today are a plurality

people think about their grand standing in all of this reckless behavior and i can tell you that a new a.b.c. washington post poll has that answer turns out that eighty percent of poll respondents say that they feel dissatisfied or even angry about the work that the government is doing eighty percent and that's the highest level that we've seen in anger in nineteen years and you can bet that it has to do with the debt ceiling to that number has gone up eleven points just in the past month and the picture is especially bad for republicans a poll showing that seventy seven percent of respondents think the republican leadership is unwilling to negotiate and is slowing down those talks it isn't fair to put all the anger only republicans in the fair to say this is only about the debt ceiling maybe americans should be more angry at the president purcel ing them out when it comes to social security medicaid and medicare join me to discuss this is jane hamsher founder of firedoglake dot com jane thanks so much nice to have you back on the show tonight thanks for having me now eighty percent of ameri
