>> well, with rare exception everyone was against a.p. for it and very, very angry at a.p. for what happened. but the debate was quickly influenced by the board president, mclean, who went public and attacked kennedy. and so he charted a course. there were a few people who had sided with him, one of whom ultimately gave him a job. but the reality was that this process was aided and abetted by a -- what i believe was a knee-jerk reaction and clearly an unfair decision that was counter to any journalism principles. the fact that he also was fired was to me beyond outrageous since everybody had anticipated it. the word was coming out that it had been leaked. you never, never fire somebody for a truthful story, either. i mean, i've never seen that happen. so there were a lot of things here that are upsetting. but the tide was cast, and it was pretty ugly. >> -- that spoke to that and urged action by a.p.? from outside news organizations. >> yes. >> yeah. it's not a big secret that the "times" wrote a letter. >> but actually, what's even more interesting is i think kent cooper,

and, tonight, 67 years later the a.p. has apologized. determining that it was clearly politics and not the safety of others he'd been told to wait for. keeping the war's end from rest of america. >> what became clear is that kennedy did everything just right. >> that reporter is no longer alive. but tonight his daughter says apology accepted. >> i think my father would be absolutely overjoyed to know that he's finally receiving credit for his great journalism. >> 67 years later, the credit due. >>> when we come back here tonight, our reporter side by side with shaq.

a.p. has attempted several attacks on the united states including the failed christmas day airline bombing in two thousand and nine and the attempted bombing of u.s. bound cargo planes in two thousand and ten and of course we are currently we in the bureau are currently exploiting an i.e.d. improvised explosive device used overseas which is similar to the devices used by a.q. a.p. in the past now the f.b.i. says this is a good reason to expand their ability to snoop on people online they want to be able to wiretap the internet and are asking companies like google and facebook to alter their code to enable them to do so and they hope to do this by amending a law that allows the wiretapping of phones and expand that power to internet sites that people often use to communicate these days so is this infringing on your on line privacy or a necessary tool to ensure public safety that clinical is the chief political correspondent for c news and has been following this story since the very beginni

. >> the a.p.report, a fact check on mitt romney's speech that he gave regarding the debt and fiscal issues and it says that romney falsely claims that president obama doubled the debt according to the ap he actually increased it by half, 10.6 trillion before president obama and now 15.6 now. and they have gone through a list of these things with the speech, mark, which obviously is what we're going to see i think the first he point out mitt romney has put ideas but no real meat behind some of them. >> what was interesting yesterday and also today that mitt romney really pivoted away from the economy and was talking more about the spending and the deficit and in a state where he was yesterday in iowa where the unemployment rate is 5.2% t makes sense he is going at the debt and the deficit because that's actually one place where things -- there hasn't been a whole lot of progress, the deficit is still very, very high where you're hearing democrats counteract and even that a.p. fact check point out a

department of defense, the white house to invest in local a.p.s for study groups, for tutor being, for after school, for saturday assistance, advanced placement exams. >> so far aberdeen and havre de grace are the only two high schools in line. >> what we like is it reaches in and touches military kids. it tries to give them a leg up in working in the industries of the future which will be dependent on math and science. >> and that's why there is a push to get students who may have not put a.p. courses at the top of their list. >> i want my dad to be -- i don't want my dad to be in afghanistan and be stressed that, hey i need more money about a.p. classes. >> it is a good opportunity. i know it will come in handy when i am applying for colleges, interviewing for jobs. having this is a kickoff for my future. >> boeing is splitting the bill for the program but won't see how much it is investing. >> the biggest resource we have, the most important resource we have is our people. so we spend a lot of time scompevert on high schools growing the future

after much convincing from my a.p. government teacher, applied for the americans studying abroad program also known as apsa. i figured this would be a way to view the world outside my local periphery, but i took a chance and it paid off. i was offered the opportunity to study abroad in beijing, china, for six weeks to study chinese language and culture. i am forever grateful that the funding granted me the opportunity to go to china as a student who had never been on a plane prior to going to beijing, this was a life-changing experience. i appreciate that america's promoting study abroad targets students that live in underrepresented communities across the nation because that's where dire attention needs focused now. it's not just the students who can afford these opportunities that are deemed globally aware because of their travel experiences, but through the lenses of students like me and ones in underrepresented communities because every student deserves a global experience. since my experience, i have decided to pu

one of the syrian opposition leaders who came to the united actually spoke to an a.p. reporter we are here to alert now this should be a huge wake up call for those syrians who are not supportive of the opposition especially in the minorities the syrian rebels. from the jail that means there will be a bloodbath part of the of the fall of assad and there will be no room for anyone but the majority group which should describe. its extremist credo whether it is there to greater albania in kosovo or. muslim brotherhood not shoot in syria. let's check out a few stories online at r.t. dot com that you may well be interested in the harrowing tale of a young man thrown in an american cell and forgotten and forced to drink his own urine to survive who got his story after he's left without food or water for five days. and russia's anti-gay propaganda law gets his first conviction a fine for a prominent gay activist who says that his sentence will help him to get that controversial legislation cancelled and find out more r.t. . a massive liberal drive a reset in russia u.s. for a

troops which happened twice last week, according to the a.p. military leaders acknowledge the attacks are concerning as they work with afghan troops to hand off security responsibly. >>> for the first time the obama administration is publicly acknowledging covert drone racetracks against al qaeda targets. counterterrorism official john brennan says the president wants to be more open with the american public. brennan said targets are chosen by weighing if there is a way to capture the person and threat level to americans. me said in most cases drone strikes are carried out with the cooperation of a host government. >>> it was a year ago when president obama gave the go ahead to take out osama bin laden. navy s.e.a.l. team 6 stormed bin laden's compound and killed him. the hunt for the man who carried out the september 11 attacks lasted nine years. the businesses the time is for reflection, not celebration. >> i said we'd go after bin laden if we had a clear shot, and i did. if there are others who have said one thing and now suggest they'd do s

. >> general, with a.p. one quick gwen then a broader one. you mentioned the women who are starting with this non pilot program. i understand there has been some decision or some initial discussion about rangers. can you talk a little bit about that -- >> this is a progressive way forward. we have a nine brigade combat team, opening up the occupational specialties that currently women serve in down to infantry and armor battalions. we will run this for several months. my guess is based on my experience in iraq and what i've seen in afghanistan, we'll then move forward with a more permanent solution inside the army probably sometime this fall. the next step is we have to continue to attempt to look at do we open up infantry and armor mlss to females. and that's the next step. so what we've done is, we're really now collecting information and we're setting a course forward on how we might take a look at this. so that's what i've asked general bob cohen, the training and doctrine commander and major general bob brown, the commander of the center

syrian opposition leaders who came to the united actually spoke to an a.p. reporter we are here to alert now this should be a huge wake up call for those syrians who are not supporting the or the field position especially the minorities the syrian rebels. from the jail that means there will be a bloodbath product at the end of the fall of assad and there will be no room for anyone but the majority group which subscribes to its extremist credo whether it is there to agree to roll brainier in costs of war or muslim brotherhood offshoot in syria you can head to r.t. dot com for more on that story and while you're all mine here's what else you can check out. a harrowing tale of a young man thrown of an american salad and forgotten and forced to drink his own urine to survive after being left without food or water for five days. and russia's anti-gay propaganda law gets its first conviction a fine for a prominent activist and says his sentence will help him to get the controversial legislation parents find out how at our dot com. all right if you're just joining

he's interviewed by a.p. intelligence reporter. saturday night at 10:00 eastern.

a.p. morgan recently a nounced a $2 billion trading loss. >> people look what happened with jpmorgan and say here's a company that made a stupid decision and did something dumb and lost money and fired the people that were responsible. this is the market at work. this is how it's supposed to happen. why does government need to play a role? >> to some extent that's true, and i take some credit for it. if this had happened five years ago, if jpmorgan had lost what appears to be more than $2 billion, you would have seen much more panic in the economy. you would have seen much more concern. what we did in the legislation we passed and through other things was to require the financial institutions be much better capitalized. one of the things that's a result of the government telling them you have to have more capital you would have had otherwise, that helps give people reaassurance. >> this past weekend, congressman barney frank spoke about the over $2 billion loss by jpmorgan chase as well as

they might get the a.p., they might even get "the new york times," "l.a. times," "washington post" news service, but they couldn't go deep and they probably didn't have great substance. today if you live in any town in america with an internet connection you can go as deep as you want to go on any subject. people's habits have changed. people no longer start their day by reading a newspaper with us sort of beginning to end the briefing you need for that day. in fact, they may want to go really deep on the area that interests them and they may not care all that much about the other things that pass them by that they once might have read. and i'm not sure that that's necessarily a bad thing. there's a line out there that somehow, you know, what's going on today with information in the way young people are consuming information is somehow bad for our democracy. and i don't buy that. i think that people will seek out the information that they need in order to make good civic or economic decisions because the motivations they have are very powerful. and i think

has a good article about the a.p.bers that people are relying on romney winning a bunch of delegates in iowa that he almost certainly isn't going to but let's stipulate that in the end mitt romney will be the nominee and go from there the meeting with the rand paul that you talked about i think is a very encouraging sign for the ron paul fan that romney considers ron paul rand paul and their supporters to be a force that he has the reckoned with unlike in two thousand and eight when the republican party very rudely shut out ron paul and the ron paul people from even appearing at their convention leading wrong to run a challenger convention across town they're being very ginger with the ron paul people that's not romney is politically intelligent enough to understand that merely being mitt romney alienates ron paul fans quite a bit but he should not go out of his way to upset them even further and that he's definitely something is going on between him and rand paul of course they have not publicly said what it is some

the big banks because we bailed them out that's one part of the derivatives and everything else which a.p. morgan is very important because if you look at jamie diamond's unregulated over the counter derivatives business it makes the bank pale by comparison the banks almost a trivial concern so you know he's talking about two very different things one is the we want to put more regulation on credit creation in the u.s. answer is no the whole dodd frank construct i think has to be revisited but when you look at over the counter derivatives they're not regulated at all. jamie dimon got everything he wanted out of the over the counter derivatives negotiations for dodd frank so i don't really see what more he could possibly ask for because the banks have wired the bankruptcy laws if you look at m.f. global look at made off we even look at lehman brothers and every one of those cases the over the counter derivatives market was subsidized by the other creditors they're given special treatment they're not subject to the automatic stay in bankruptcy eccentric cetera so o.t.c. derivatives is alrea

attorney general who already said that he has been disturbed by the complaint and by the reports from the a.p. needs to act on that and that includes an investigation ultimately what this review coming out what what what what does it mean for members of the muslim community such as yourself i think this report just fuels the work that we're already doing we're hoping to see reforms in the n.y.p.d. just. looks like we lost her there but that was linda sarsour or executive director for the arab american association of new york. moving along now seems that the face of terrorism is evolving a poll shows that these days americans are more worried about cyber terrorism than actual terrorism and we're seeing the response to this fear came in the form of a controversial piece of legislation that is aimed at expanding the government's power to monitor the internet cispa has passed the house in a way it's a vote in the senate after congress' recess next week so are fears over cyber terrorism justified or is it a result of fear mongering r t correspondent abbie martin reports. according to u.s. official

new recruiting tool this is the new thing to fight against and frontline actually showed that at an a.p. propaganda but. they also gave away d.v.d.'s including one called the survivors about commanders who survived drone attacks. surviving or being killed in a u.s. drone strike is seen as a badge of honor here. now you can and you should watch the entire documentary at p.b.s. dot org frontline but like i said things like this they should always be the top stories if you want americans to have a real understanding of our policies their effects a real understanding of the country the cultures the tribal structure in areas where we wage our shadow wars and this is what everyone should be pointing to and it's not new either jeremy scahill report. on this months ago we had him here on the show but then the washington post yesterday reported on how drone strikes have become a root recruiting tool as if it was brand new and i guess i should at least give morning joe and m.s.m. d.c. a little credit for talking about that washington post report this morning but come on people we all know better

security there is a lot of people i saw a lot of angry tweets last night you know because first of all the a.p. i guess released it before the administration necessarily wanted them to release said of course if they're talking about a devil agent then you can't let people know that there's a double agent or you can't let al qaeda in the arabian peninsula know that there is a double agent but. the same thing where do you draw the line there in terms of what's considered a matter of national security and just telling the public the truth. well it's very difficult to draw that line. when it comes to that larger issue one thing that you can imagine is to have some sort of oversight of the kind of information that are that ministration is classified so for example you could have a panel of judges that could go and look at all of the classified information and decide yes this is legitimately classified and that's legitimate classified but this third thing actually there's no reason for it to be classified when you look back at the documents that were that came out after the wiki leaks. dumps you see
