bush administration as well viewed the united states as a benign hedge amman and we think that we are different than other great powers and that when we expand our influence countries like russia will understand that we're ultimately not very threatening because we are the good guys in the international system this is a remarkably foolish way of thinking about the world but i believe if you spend any time in washington it becomes clear that this delusion is widespread second point i would make is that we are paid a waiter with a lot of soaring ok go ahead john finish your second point we'll go to i'll go back to stephen go ahead second point i would make is we were able to get away with nato expansion in the early two thousand and in the one nine hundred ninety s. because russia was remarkably weak and because the initial waves of nato expansion were not so close to russia's border what's happened now is that russia has recovered from the one nine hundred ninety s. it's much more powerful today than it was back then and furthermore expanding nato to ukraine is putting nato right on ru

amman was playing a unique role in our case. they are allies with the u.s. and iran and we are kind of in the middle and going back and forth. they eventually paid half a million dollars each for us bail money to get out and they actually came to iran and negotiated and brought us out. that relationship, that kind of avenue that was created was later, we recently found out that the end of the last year was used for an actual face-to-face negotiation between the u.s. and iran. it wasn't happening in our case but it did happen around the nuclear issue in the month preceding the more formal nuclear talks. >> what kinds of questions were you asked during the interrogations and to what extent do you feel the need to be less than honest? >> a good question. >> shane gave a couple of examples and i will get a couple more. click favorite question that was asked every interrogation session was please write your full biography. then their second favorite question that they asked every time was what were you doing and why did you cross int

embassy in amman burning american israeli flags and in the netherlands thousands attended a rally in support of the people of. demonstrators laid flowers on top of small coffins presenting palestinians killed by israeli airstrikes. so that maybe a rising tide of anti israeli sentiment around the world but at home is really nationalism is also gaining strength discussed earlier with gideon levy from the eretz newspaper. times of israel recently published an article didn't it wasn't it was an ad for a long. quote called when genocide is permissible in which the author try to justify what was happening in gaza now it was quickly taken offline but what does it say about the general feeling in israel at the moment but the motives for this there is this the majority of very very clear majority for this operation but it says secure for eyes is hardly covered it is really media israeli media is concentrated all lead in its own security for eyes these really arise. by and large you see in difference or even in extreme cases even enjoying. the horrible scenes that we expose for our civil war y

hundreds of activists are protesting against the violence being inflicted on gaza that amman in washington and its support for israeli military campaigns against the palestinians artie's lindsay france brings us more. after yet another failed humanitarian ceasefire in gaza the people here gathered for the free palestine protest in front of the white house aren't just grieving for the tragedy happening overseas they're also feeling a lot of impatience impatience because their relatives are the ones ducking for cover in gaza and many of them say this is not just a war of weapons and of ideology it's also a war of rhetoric and perception but we're here because there's obviously a devastation that's going on right now in gaza and we're calling for an end to the conflict there the freeing of the siege also the end occupation that is all over the west bank and gaza and to really point out the fact that there is something that is a more on josh and in equal that is going on here representatives of this community here in washington say that based on what we've seen so far just this summer alone th

that report live from amman in jordan. >> university in the rates accused of withdrawing a job over. season made a series of comments. we have this report. this could have cost the job. >> as the body count rose over the past three weeks, the tweets were more charged,like this one. this point if binyamin netanyahu appeared on tv with a necklace made, would anyone be charged. he was set to begin a tenure at the illinois university. the appointment was blocked. the university said it was a perm matter. he has an active twitter present and had been slept. he did not respond to the email and phone requests. >> they can hardly be called a secret. >> university professor kerry nelson wrote in support of the decision. >> i think the tweeting has become aggressive. sometimes there's violence, he sees at times to step over the line into what some feel is anti-semitism. there's support for the professor. reversing the scandalous firing. it garnered 11 thoz signatures. the illinois committee said in a statement if the job offer was voided, that would be a clear violation of the academic freedom

. >>> muslims and christians in jordan marched through the capital amman condemning violence. demonstrators called for peace and unity as church prayers and the muslim call to prayer were heard in unison. the march took place, calling for people to rejected all forms of violence. >> talks between yemen's government stalled. it follows a government or to form a new administration, and review an unpopular decision. tens of thousands have been protesting for days in the capital, following the collapse of the talks on sunday. demonstrations are now expected. hutus have been fighting for years for power for the region in north yemen. we are joined from sanaa. tell us about the talks, and why they collapsed. what happened? >> well, the biggest problems are both parties failed to overcome was basically the concessions given to the hutus. they said that they want three main things, the government to reverse a decision to increase fuel crisis. and both parties said they are willing to give a come promise, and they want the government to go. in a way that they will compromise. the third

anyway, after seeing mustafa zein in amman, i didn't have to spend about 10 days, two weeks in israelwho may have known bob ames. and, indeed, i found 4, and they remembered him. they knew exactly who he was. they knew that he was a back channel. he had created this very secret back channel to the plo through ali hassan salameh, and that was a disturbing revelation to them in the 1970s. because henry kis promised the israelis that we wouldn't have any dealings with this terrorist organization. but, of course, i learned from my cia officers that this is exactly what intelligence officers are supposed to they go where foreign service officers can't. and they go to dangerous neighborhoods and talk to bad guys. bad guys like ali hassan salameh, who, choose your level. he was a terrorist. he was a professional revolutionary. he was a freedom fighter for the palestinian cause, but he was someone that no u.s. diplomat could talk to. but things could and he created this back channel that actually inside the agency today everyone gives him credit for starting the oslo peace process, starting t

as well as the consulate in erbil and moving them to a consulate in basra and another location in amman. i want to read part of that that explains it. they say the ability of the embassy to respond to situations in which u.s. citizens face difficulty including arrests is extremely limited. u.s. citizens in iraq remain at high risk for kidnapping and terrorist violence. terrorist violence. now, president obama said just yesterday that his overall mission here is to protect americans and american interests. so he'll do whatever it takes to do that. and this may be a long-term mission. but along those lines is where we're hearing some criticism in washington start to form more today. we hear from a number of republicans on some sunday shows including cnn's "state of the union" where john mccain was a guest. and he said that obama's actions don't really amount to a strategy at all, that what he is doing is ineffective and it is not going to effectively dismantle the so-called islamic state. we also heard today from house homeland security chairman peter king, a republican as well as republi

i want to bring in christiane amman apour, he said he was surprised at the effort to free him. >> i think one can assume that any time a national from britain, france, america is taken, that the family try to do everything to get him back. obviously, he won have known about it because he's been under ground or in a basement prison for nearly two years now. clearly, this sort of denounment this focus on what isis has done to journalists has brought the whole notion what to do about isis, front and center. sadly, it took the brutal murder of a fellow journalist james foley to suddenly make the world realize that isis is in fact, a bar bear rick state that is in control of a military base, a third of iraq, a great part of syria and as you heard both u.s. government, the british government, french government, many governments are very concerned that more and more of recruits who you have been talking about, more and more isis fighters could be planning to strike europe and the united states. >> i was just wondering if such a public execution of the journalist james foley back fired on isis. d

. >> amman ta, thank you for reporting on msnbc.com. >> richard, good morning to you. why did they release this tape, especially after the police chief said the robbery was not related to the initial contact between the officer and brown. he said he stopped them because they were walking down the middle of the street blocking traffic allegedly. give me your reaction to all of this. >> i think the ferguson police department has shown levels -- high levels of incompetence here. i think this is just another example of that. as i was driving over here this morning, alex, i thought about it really hard. how many other police departments in the country are as in competent as ferguson? you don't know until you know. it is like a pipe with the pin hole. when the water comes out that's what you see there really is a leak. that's why there is so much anger on the streets of ferguson and all across america. this police department has the highest level of incompetence that i have seen. >> michael brown's family is calling the release of this video character assassination. let's li

responded and the mayor has responded that it's -- he's made, i think, smarter legal minds than i, john ammaned the mayor is mistaken in his legal analysis. he does have the aauthority to do this. even if he doesn't have the authority to make this move, the prosecutor does and the judge does. there are ways to get this done. >> what would you say to those who say but people don't want to pay the fine, then don't break the law in the first place. we have to enforce the rules here. >> these aren't people refusing to pay the fine. these aren't people who don't want to pay the fine. they want to pay, they are unable to pay and are being incarcerated as a result of their indigency. and the freedom of the open road? a card that gave you that "i'm 16 and just got my first car" feeling. presenting the buypower card from capital one. redeem earnings toward part or even all of a new chevrolet, buick, gmc or cadillac - with no limits. so every time you use it, you're not just shopping for goods. you're shopping for something great. learn more at buypowercard.com it's time to bring it out in the open. it

well i agree with the amman, they should get involved.learly political workings going on that mean that they are hesitating, but i would really implore regional countries to get involved in this. it is their responsibility as well as the united states, the united kingdom and france, for example, it's their responsibility to act on this as well because it's their problem. it will reach to their borders and it's imperative that another country or countries within the region act on this. because besides anything else, just having western countries attacking their positions in iraq and syria will play into their crusade of paradigm. this is immensely valuable for the jihadist ideology. we need other countries to get involved in this to show this is not the case. >> charlie and eamon, thank you so much for being with me. i appreciate it. >> still to come, the president takes in a round of golf less than an hour after addressing the brutal death of that american citizen at the hands of isis terrorists. and he's facing scathing criticism for it.

that was a royal jordanian flight from amman but the rest of the airline schedule seemed to be operatings normal as does the airport here that are coming and going. they are arriving as well and international carriers continue to take off and land. hamas was clearly hoping to repeat what happened last month when a rocket landed not far from the airport and many international carriers decided to divert from ben gurion airport for about a day and a half. that seen as a blow to the israelis, both economically and symbolically. hamas claimed that as a victory. they are hoping for the same thing today but so far, kate, it just hasn't happened. >> a lot of daylight left as we have to say, john. thank very much. john vause in tel aviv. let's get over to christine romans who is taking a look at more of our headlines and news on the ebola victims. >> a lot going on this morning. breaking this morning. the american doctor infected with ebola will be released from an atlanta hospital today. kent brantly contracted the deadly virus while treating infected patients in liberia. earlier this month bran

. >> you go back to amman in this movie and what did you in your life as well in the summer. >> that's in the united states. we used to return to jordan almost every summer, so it was sort of amazing to get the country grow and change as much as it has over the last three decade. >> we look at this film and see old world with modern values mixed in and certainly a large threat through the film is faith and how different characters have separated or come together because of faith. how important was that for you to explore with this film and from a personal level as well? >> yeah, that was quite important, just given how important faith is in the region and how many different faiths sort of come together and clash. and in this family, everyone sort of represents a different opinion and a different outlook on the issues of faith and politics to some extent as well. so, you know, the family represents sort of a microcosm what is happening in the middle east. >> have you had that experience? the experience of the past sort of invaded your life -- >> absolutely. >> -- in that sort of way? ho

anyone and anything in their path, it could well be you see an unusual coalition coming together, ammanan, tel aviv and cairo and egypt because they are all in the scope of this threat. >> and assad in syria and the ayatollah's in iran. >> and turkey. >> see if turkey decides to be a responsible player. seriously. >> this is by rand paul how u.s. interventionist embedded the rise of is sisis. new regime might be isis. no to say the u.s. should ally with assad but we should recognize how regime change in syria could have helped and emboldened the islamic state and recognize that they are calling for war against isis and syrian civil war. we should realize that the interventionists are calling for islamic rebels to win in syria and for the same islamic rebels to lose in iraq. our middle eastern policy is unhinged flailing about to see who to act against next with little thought to the consequences. those not a foreign policy. >> it's very easy to say that after isis explodes. but, julie,, obviousl obviously the things that haunted the president and samantha powers 200 dead in syria becaus

. >> let's go to amman mole mole ha dean.uae in egypt attacked libya, because arab countries don't usually attack other arab countries. are you sensing in you travels more arab countries and leaders having such a concern with what's happening in isis that they might actually get involved in the fight? >> absolutely. for a long time countries like the uae and others have expressed concerns about the rise of political islam. that's not what isis is. isis is a very different cloth of militancy. more importantly, they are seeing this as an existential threat to the stability of countries and millions of people. that is why they're taking these unprecedented actions as you mentioned and acting out in countries like libya. they see what is happening in libya as a continuation of what is happening inside syria and iraq. they now are demonstrating the willingness to act. that could be a game-changer for the region. the question that is going to remain is whether there is credibility behind these actions. are they simply acting out in
