they killed anwar al awlaki in september. there has never been a public accounting of the evidence that this administration used to make that determination. i'm sure there is evidence, but if you want a bill consensus for this strategy in the future, you want to tell the public that it's not an arbitrary decision when the u.s. government kills one of its own citizens. what i also lay out in that chapter is there have been a half dozen cases at the commissions in. guantanamo bay, yet almost all of them have ended in plea agreements. these individuals, close associates of osama bin laden, have gotten ten years or less. some of them are already home. yet americans who are prosecuted in american courts, and some cases simply for making threats on the internet, are doing 25 years in prison. it's another disconnect. it's another one of the uncomfortable truths because we still don't have a strategy. and based on my reporting, i predict we will see more americans in the future who are going to qualify for the kill or capture list. w

it's to anwar al awlaki's mosque. so you see, a man who ultimately became the leader of what i call al qaeda 2.0 was really an overlooked key player in 9/11 itself. his contacts with the hijackers were not a series of coincidences. they were really evidence of a purposeful relationship. and i still talk about anwar al awlaki as the leader of al qaeda 2.0, because you see, it's really one thing to kill a man, but thanks to the web, it's quite another thing to kill his ideas. in closing before i take your questions, i'd like to tell you about the epilogue in the book. we started and finished at guantanamo bay. and it's really something to sit in that courtroom with these men. it really is. because it's very educational. very instructive. i really believe the best reporting is the reporting you do with your own eyes. and it was one of the final court appearances for the 9/11 suspects, as you know, they were in military commissions and attorney general eric holder said they were going to new york. that was ultimately reve

he sold off drilling out of anwar. he said no to the keystone pipeline from canada. >> aides deny the president and british prime minister cameron have agreed to release oil from their country's reserves, but not that they discussed it. meanwhile, with the obama campaign set to unveil a film showcasing the affordable care act as one of the president's major achievements, the latest fox poll suggests most people want it changed or repealed all together. something else republicans eagerly take advantage of. >> obamacare is a nightmare. if you look at the most recent example of the cost of the program, i think it's already gone up by something like 70% and projected costs and hasn't been implemented yet. >> actually congressional budget office update projects it will be less than it predicted last year. but the wild disparity in claims about the cost of the measure has been the norm since mr. obama proposed it. keeping the issue alive is one more way republicans hope to make the 2012 election a referendum on mr. obama. bu

[ applause ] >> thank you very much. thank you, dean townshend, for your kind words and for your support of the sadat chair and international studies group. ladies and gentlemen, it is my pleasure to introduce our honorable panelists of this event forum. but before i do so, i'd like to say a few words about the arab awakening that has been sweeping much of the arab world. especially my greek country egypt. in this regard i want to welcome our ambassador who is here today. egypt is, of course, going through challenges. both economically and politically as it transitions to democracy. i know that our panelists will discuss some of these

it is now just anwar al-awlaki who went, --who would anwar al- awlaki -- anwar al-awlaki, who went to school in colorado. there are western states in the al qaeda of italy it. it is a chapter that shows you how this white house was so reluctant to call fort hood an act of terrorism. fort hood was not a drive-by shooting. it was not a convenience store shooting. it was not an example of workplace violence. for good sense the classic example of terrorism. it was an act of violence to promote a political end. one of the ends i -- things i do in the book is to show you how washington works. i take you into a conference call called the background conference call. you see senior administration officials. reporters are allowed to get on the call. you can ask questions of people in the white house, but you cannot identify them by name. i asked the question during that call and the white house admitted fort hood was an act of terrorism. there was an incredible pile on by the other reporters. and do you know what happened? the call in dick? . -- the call ended. chapter 2 is where i tried to get

this is my last, but i wanted to ask that one, because as we talk about, to the potential for anwar, the pushback we get, it's not going to have any impact because wo production online for a period of eight, ten years under a best case scenario. therefore, just don't even start. i don't accept that logic. and i do think that it does help to bring exactly the confidence that dr. yergin hasor, e last q you is, if you can share with us a little bit of the experience that great britain had a couple years ago, faced with high gas prices. they made a decision to increase their taxes. quite dramatically. we just came from a vote that would attempt to basically do the same effectively increase the taxes on the oil and gas industry.u' now reversed that position. because it's my understanding that in the two years since the increase in t a tripling of the yes, so in production in the uk, you're reversing that. can you just speak to the experience there, and what led to the decision to -- to impose the taxes and now to reverse those? >> yes. to answer your y th the tax increase was greeted by t

because president obama doesn't want to produce more oil domestically he doesn't want to drill in anwar is shut down drilling in the gulf of mexico after the oil spill and then he turned it back on again yet it took him so long to end george bush on a draw. either. and president obama has has there's work permits out there that aren't being use that are being used in its own x.l. pipeline is a great example of the president shutting down oil production that would have been refined to do that wasn't my question my question is why with gas prices going up as a result of these guys manipulating the markets how can you blame this on obama matthew well i'm not i'm always delighted to take the statistics that you present whenever i come on your show because the always seem like they're coming from another world i don't know that it's necessarily true so actually from the wall street journal well all journalists all journalists are liberal even if they're with the wall so you. know i was with the bonfire you'd think that they would like markets they didn't. i find it very hard to believe that

. >> he doesn't want to drill in anwar and over 80% of alaskans wants drilling in anwar and number twoblocked the keystone pipeline and liberals and conservatives will agree. and you cannot block our natural resources here, so, if obama was to open up anwar, and was to build the keystone pipeline, still, there is no short, quick fix. >> jamie: chris can i-- keep your response and give your response, but also toss in there for me the news this week about the chevy volt and the halt on production and the fact that gas prices have not driven, no pun intended, the battery electric car, and that people in the thousands, potential potentially, are going to lose their jobs for this temporary or perhaps permanent shutdown at a u.s. plant? >> listen, gm is doing something right. the profits are higher than in years and employed, increased their payroll by 200,000 in the auto industry overall since this president saved the auto industry in america, so, i think that's a minor bump in the road for gm. let me address what you said about the keystone pipeline. the president was embracing the keyston

drone strike in yemen hyder interviewed anwar lockett number of times. in fact he was the first hurdle list to interview him after the fort hood shooting where major nidal hassan gunned down more than a dozen of his fellow soldiers in fort hood texas and in fact if you read the transcript or you watch the interview. with admiral rocky it's a very critical interview and it's it reads like an interviewer to check a journalist who was pressing a lockie with hard questions in fact one of the pieces of evidence and you can't really call it that because it's a lot he was only convicted in the court of public opinion never in court but one of the things that was cited by the pro assassination punditry were comments that how lucky had made kabul the hider praising his sons' killing of these soldiers i bring that up because i will hide or was well known in the international press corps he had worked with the washington post he had been cited by the new york times at a.b.c. news as an al qaeda expert and so what i think the white house was concerned about is like

that's anwar lottie's sixteen year old son he was killed in an air strike in yemen last october along with eight other people u.s. officials have never said why the only thing that officials have said anonymously of course to the press is that he was at the wrong place at the right at the wrong time but according to harry reid this is sixteen year old american citizen deserved to be killed that's quite a statement to make that is quite a horrifying reality of how our government functions these days and i completely out of hand this war on terror has become not only do we have democratic leaders fully supporting policies which they apparently don't understand yet which anyone with a basic knowledge of our constitution could figure out is illegal but we have a press to also let that slide and i'm happy that candy crowley asked him the question but you think a little follow up question to be in order as to how we so sure that these people deserve to be killed without ever having seen a day in court especially a sixteen year old and so here once again ladies and gentlemen we see why so ma

for blocking drilling in anwar. we talk all the time about drilling off the east coast.off the west coast. with people who live there, people who live in florida, east coast, gulf coast. they don't want drilling off the coast. people want cheap gas. until there is a human cry if ever, to start going after the resources we have. the government won't do it. the democrats and others who feel opposed to it will feel emboldened to keep opposing it because they don't believe they will pay a political price. they haven't yet. >> republicans are running on this now. they sense vulnerability here, steve. >> no question about it. mitt romney wasn't talking about this a lot. two months ago is mentioning this every speech and interview. santorum takes shale with him everywhere he goes. no question that the republicans see vulnerability. the white house understands that vulnerability. you are seeing the white house scram to believe send president to the places where he can tout himself as somebody pursuing all of the above strategy. >> they are hurting on this. they want to take cred

he signed off on the drone strike that killed jihadi cleric and american citizen anwar al-awlaki in yemen. now holder's gotten a lot of criticism for the legal justification he gave for killing an american citizen. none. [ laughter ] but this is the subject of tonight's word: do or die when they took out al awlaki last year, the obama justice department wrote a memo explaining why this action was legal, but then kept the memo secret. why? does killing american citizens somehow require eleven herbs and spices? [ laughter ] the colonel was in the military. [ laughter ] but yesterday the attorney general explained why it's perfectly legal to execute a citizen without trial. >> the supreme court has made clear that the due process clause does not impose one-size-fits-all requirements. due process and judicial process are not one and the same, particularly, when it comes to national security. the constitution guarantees due process. it does not guarantee judicial process. >> stephen: exactly. due process does not mean judicial process. the founders weren't picky. i mean trial by jury, trial by

greg: that's right. >> eric: it almost seems like he is now making a statement because we took out anware. maybe wants to continue to do that, which is great. fantastic. all for it. what about this appointing, or promoting the d.o.j. guy west. >> kimberly: tony west to the number three position. >> eric: defended terrorist and now they will put this guy in position to dictate policy. >> greg: it's done to make holder look moderate. b. the fact is the law firm defended them ten years ago. >> kimberly: this individual defended john walker lindh. is this the important position to be given the number three position. is he being groomed? some speculate will holder step down and won't be there for the next administration should the president win re-election? as a former prosecutor we don't like someone come in to start to run the office whose ties are with defending terrorists. different philosophy. >> bob: one case of probably thousands that he was involved in. >> bob: john walker lindh was the american taliban guy. the policy that holder is talking about today, one reason that he -- >> eric:

anwar al-awlaki was targeted and killed.-old son, abdulrahman al-awlaki and samir khan were also killed. those were accidental, but afterwards we said, wow, they are kind of terrorists, any way and they had it coming. how do you like our process? does that sound like due process to you? it only got worse. >> the reality is that our nation will likely continue to face terrorist threats that at times originate with our own citizens. when such individuals take on against this country and join al-qaida in attacks and design to kill their fell low americans. there may be only one realistic and appropriate response. we must take steps to stop them in full accordance with the constitution. in this our hour of danger we cannot afford to wait until deadly plans are carried out and we will not. >> this was a theme that he kept saying throughout the speech. we can't wait. it reminded me of the mushroom cloud of saddam hussein, it could go off in 45 minutes in this hour of danger. to go all the way to court to get a simple indictment of

the attorney general alluded anwar al-alwaki who was killed by a drone five months ago. born in new mexico, he was tied to several terror plots including attempted bombing of a passenger jet on christmas, 2009. holder's comments yesterday followed requests from several news organizations to obtain the government's legal justification for the attack on that cleric. his teenage son was killed in a separate strike last fall. his family insists he travelled to the area in search of his father, critics of the stance say there is no due process for an american citizen even if he is a terrorist. or suspected terrorist. >>> still ahead on "way too ear early" bcu is back in the middle of march madness. >>> mitt romney attempting to play a compliment to his wife ann, commits a cardinal sin of husbanding. you're better than this mitt, that clip and a check on weather when "way too early" comes back. >> our armed forces fought with honor and as president i can report to the nation aggression is defeated, the war is over. i want healthy skin for life.

-born al qaeda cleric anwar al-awlaki. a second american al qaeda operative also died in the attack. the lawsuit argues that the public has a right to know how the us justified killing american citizens on foreign soil. under the obama administration, america's use of weaponized drones has risen dramatically. the president recently defended this, saying the u.s. drone program is kept on a "very tight leash." yet, there have been ethical questions. the drone technology may be strategic, but is it moral to use it? >> reporter: drones are increasingly becoming some of the most valuable weapons in america's arsenal. unmanned aircraft such as the predator and the reaper can hover over remote areas and do surveillance for hours, even days. their operators are often in places as far away as nevada or virginia. and the drones can release missiles or bombs with no risk to those operators. experts say within 20 years, the vast majority of america's fighting aircraft will likely be pilotless. the use of drones may be strategic, but i
