. >> reporter: this was the immediate aftermath of athe ft. hood massacre, emergency crews scrambled to save lives but the real impact of that horrific day is only now coming into full view. the jury in the trial of nidal hasan is hearing emotional testimony from a dozen witnesses including relatives of those killed and victims who survived. staff sergeant patrick zeigler was shot four times, once in the head. doctors had to remove 20% of his brain. zeigler says he's retiring from the army in october and fears he'll never be able to hold a regular job. he told the jury it's affected every facet of my personality. i am a lot angrier, a lot darker than i used to be. 20-year-old private francesca va l valez was pregnant, others could hear her screaming "my baby! my baby!" before her voice went silent. her father said this man did not just kill 13 people. he killed my daughter and grandson and he killed me slowly. prosecutors will be calling more victims relatives and survivors to testify tuesday and it will be nidal hasan's final chance to speak

the third premise is how can we move forward with an effective ath toward reform?nd the reality is spelled out in chapter two of learning from iraq, the iraqis i interviewed, the americans i interviewed, both leadership from iraq, leadership on the hill concurred that that path to reform must be towards an integrative capacity. the iraqis repeatedly identified for me in their interviews frustrations about the fact that state and defense were themselves at war. they spent more time bickering han providing aid. the chief of staff to prime minister barzani underscored this. he said instead of getting help from state or defense had to observe this constant conflict and indeed, ambassador hill, our ambassador in iraq in 2010 said that the iraq reconstruction picture amounted to a bureaucratic clash of cultures between state and defense. ambassador jeffrey echoed that fact and agreed that we need reform to improve our approach. general austin, in my interview with him, commander of multinational force in iraq and u.s. forces iraq said that the approach that we have sugge

california -- working with a mortgage resolution partner offers $150,000 to buy a $300,000 loan, so they'd athe bank $150,000, and the banks are saying, wait a minute, that house is worth 200 or more. >> well, it's even more than that, because many of these loans -- perhaps the majority, the substantial majority of these loans -- will be ones on which borrowers are current in their payments. in other words, if borrowers are making their payments as far as the lender's concerned, there's no loss at all. but the houses, the mortgage is understwheart is that the deal? >> >> guest: well, yes, but first in california and some other states there is a so-called one action rule which means if a lender goes against the property and forecloses on the loan, the lender cannot then turn around and sue the borrower for deficiency. but even if the borrower is not liable for a deficiency in court, nevertheless there are people who are paying their loans, who have the money to do that, who assume that the parcel may well go up in value again. in the meantime, they don't want that stain on their credit rating. s

that's an abandonment of their ath. [inaudible] >> oh, no, it is not over with.ave condemned those airlines to go out of business. if it is not anti-competitive for those other two. the ooh -- the only reason they are doing this, it's because they want to look touch on anti-trust. it has nothing to do with the facts of the case. the point is, it is arbitrary and it is capreeshes -- caprecious. first of all, they found seven codes out of all those codes that are anti-competitive. they are going to stop that merger on the basis of that? it shows you how lawless this administration is. i don't say that word lightly. >> senator, i am one of those federal employees that you were talking about. but i can assure you i don't $138,000 a e near year. i live up in wagner. you were talking about the sequester and how it has been a good thing and decreasing the size of the federal budget. t's certainly done that. my agency, we don't have a whole lot of discretionary spending. as you might expect, the public defenders don't get the biggest budget for the whole federal governme
