why the blowback, and that's the question about it seems like it's a track record that hasn't been working. >> i don't think egypt is some great - it's a security success for the united states or a success for average egyptians. you don't know, there's economic challenges, educational issues. i agree that some aid has helped. i don't see it as a success. a positive story is what happens in tunisia. they are passing right now at the same time as egypt a constitution that has taken long and created a political process. there's islamist that elections in indonesia backed down. tunisia is a positive story in what is a dark post sort of early arab spring period. i didn't want to be idealistic about democracy. >> i was going to bring up, has there been clear and considerate policy in the middle east. >> of course not. consistency is difficult. take the example david rhode brought up. tunisia is the possible success story in the middle east. united states supported this. tunisia is a country the size of florida. and has left international influence. egypt is the largest country in the world. sits

which is of course a classic case of blowback and it that might have averted a crisis at the time and this includes the u.s. and iranian hostility and i guess right away even before i started out i had two questions. first of which was what was the cia doing funniness pro-arab anti-zionist group, not what someone would expect the cia to be doing and why was kim roosevelt known as the enemy of nationalism and around and he backlist and among other things advocated for arab nationalists and i did a lot of research and government records and not so much the cia's own records because they either remain classified or have been destroyed. but if you sneak around those in the state department with public records as well for me when a surprising amount of information about this during this time and private papers and interviews with surviving intelligence officers of the day as well as family members of my main characters. what emerged from this research was an account of the cia in the 1940s and the 1950s. the cia comes into existence in 1947 and this is also and it's been very official with

a coup which, of course, is a sort of -- a classic case of blowback. it might have averted a cold war crisis at the time, but it led to later to years of u.s.-iranian hostility. so i guess right away, even before i started out, i had two questions. first of which was: what was the cia doing funding this proarab, antizionist group, not perhaps one would expect the cia to be doing, and why was kim roosevelt the enemy of -- or known as the enemy of nationalism in iran, why was he backing this group which, among other things, advocated for arab nationalists like the egyptian master. well, i did a lot of research in government records, not so much the cia's own records because they are-remain classified or destroyed, but if you snoop around in other records, especially the state department and go to british public records as well, you can learn a surprising amount of information about cia operations in this period. collections of private papers, and interviews with surviving intelligence officers of the day, and family members of my main characters. what em

or why the blowback, and it seems like it's a track record that hasn't been -- . >> i don't think that egypt under mubarak today, is it a security for average egyptians? no. i agree with david that some of this aid has helped, but i don't see it as a success. a very positive story today is what happened in tunisia. they are passing right now u. at the same time as egypt, a constitution that has created very long, but it has created a political process with moremize and more consensus. and there are islamists in tunisia who have backed down, but tunisia is one very positive story in a very dark post period. and i don't want to be idealistic about democracy and say that it could happen overnight, but i wish there was more consistency in the american position. >> that's what i was going to bring up, steven, has there been clear and consistent policy in the middle east. >> of course not. consistency is extremely difficult. tunisia is what everybody believes to be the possible success story in the middle east. and sporting the transition to egypt. but tunisia is a country the size of florid

a lot of times people don't even recognize the blowback when it appears. >> i read the piece. to say, i'm on the other side of this. i really don't blame the pentagon for not being as transparent as you say they should be. i believe that we should trust our leaders enough to know that they're giving enough thought to where they're deploying our men and women. not much has changed since president obama has been president. in fact, we've actually seen more missions take place. so would you say that there is not a role anymore for secrecy? help me understand that. >> i think the military do need to have some idea where their military is operating. i've studied the vietnam war extensively. if you look at the way that that conflict started, it began with small teams of advisers. small special forces detachment. covert operations. by the time a full scale war erupted in vietnam with the u.s. in the midst of it, most americans had no idea how we had gotten there and had disastrous consequences for the united states and especially for the people of vietnam. >> that sounds like the mis

circle that he was going to publicly condemn the war in no uncertain terms, there was immediate blowback. many of his closest advisers questioned whether or not he realized what he was doing. dr. king's friend and ally harry belafonte remembers. >> i believe very strongly that dr. king understood with great clarity what it was he was getting into once he cross- pollinated our movement with the efforts of the peace movement and the resistance of the war in vietnam, he was not just speaking philosophically towards the issues of peace, but he was also speaking very strongly to the issues of american political policy. tavis: it was that decision to speak out about war policy that made so many in the civil rights movement angry. why take on the vietnam war when the fight for civil rights was still to be won? and most importantly, why incur the wrath of president lyndon johnson, a man many considered to be the best civil rights president since lincoln and a man who had seemingly forged an important alliance with dr. king? >> one of the great tributes that we can pay in memory of president kenn

ironically you know so you've mentioned we're already starting to get some blowback from the tribal president's office. federal agents and we had a couple of. agents toward the corn was a we will. be sure to mount us now and i'm sure one of numerous news reports are sure that it's not. but if you look at it from the aspect of broken treaties. i can understand why at the federal local there is this campaign to disrupt this program because exactly like you say you can't camp or what. so you can't promise something and then not deliver you know once you send it it sent is good it's done a new story again going back into indian history there was not a concept going back a couple hundred years of let's say private property as such there was the communal property there was the the natural property of the earth that was shared communally and the idea of having a monopolist come in or financial fraudsters arrive to disrupt the natural ecosystem was not really part of the d.n.a. of the of the culture of india now here at the indians i hear you have bitcoin which is almost a natural resource in itself th

. >>> issue 2, benghazi blowback. >> the intelligence was really ample. i had an opportunity to review it myself. it's the state department that's responsible for the security of our missions and embassies. >>> after a 15-month-long investigation into the september 11th, 2012 terrorist attacks in libya that killed ambassador christopher stephens and three other americans, the senate intelligence committee released a report this week that places the blame squarely on the state department. the state department should have increased its security posture more significantly in benghazi, based on the deteriorating security situation on the ground. and intelligence community threat reporting on the prior attacks against westerners in benghazi, unquote. in the months leading up to the deadly attacks there, were 20 separate attacks on westerners in benghazi, including a bomb attack the u.s. diplomatic mission that blew a hole in an exterior wall. the central intelligence agency and defense intelligence agency warned of more attacks, quote, we expect more antiu.s.

companies have already rejected that idea saying they don't want the liability they don't want the blowback but this is something that is being considered now the u.s. president says his attorney general eric holder and others will craft a report on who should hold the metadata and the options will be announced in late march when it comes to spying on foreign friends allies like german chancellor angela merkel president obama says unless there is compelling evidence u.s. intelligence officials will not be listening on the phone calls or reading the e-mails of america's friends obama said he's also calling for a public advocate panel to be appointed to the court and also there was some mention of possibly requiring the n.s.a. to get permission from the foreign intelligence intelligence surveillance surveillance court which i mention the files of court every time it wants to access . its metadata database that's something that is still up in the air it was recommended to president obama but we should mention to our viewers here that the fire support is a secret or it's hearings are closed to

. >> when my colleague was just talking about the blowback from $23 billion in legal fees, that is an astounding number. >> it is a number that almost is unfathomable. what we have seen as a real commitment this year, moving into 2014, of the number of banks beginning to adopt technology tools to help reduce their exposure to fraud. banks have been involved in some form or fashion or even just named in a fraud that pulls them into litigation in order to clear their name. we are starting to see a real commitment on their part to adopting technology tools to limit their exposure to these frauds. >> how has your patent helped? >> we don't have 6800 patents like ibm got this year, but we have our own. we have created a clearing house for confirmation. accounting firms and banks utilize our technology to validate that both revenue, cash and receivables are all legitimate. what we see typically is when a fraud happens, it's one of two ways. either it is revenue recognition, or somebody has stolen the cash. typically, that is balanced with confirmations. and the tools we have today, we can e

in the pacific to forty percent in the atlantic reading blowback from chalmers johnson when i was in college actually awaken me to a lot of the effects of us here in the us military is really was astounding in that chapter on okinawa he calls it a u.s. military dictatorship and he kind of outlines the extreme of facts that these bases have had on the local communities here you mention this rape case that really got kind of a turning point for a lot of people there talk of the other facts that this president has had on the community. and sometimes one of the arguments that's made is that it's had a positive effect that the u.s. economy has bolster the economy of okinawa because we've given a lot of employment the reality is that in one thousand nine hundred eighty two okinawa reverted from american to japanese nominal control at that point fifteen percent of the economy and sales were based on the u.s. troop presence now it's down to five percent it's negligible only about less than two percent of the oaken now in work force actually works on the base or related to the base at this po

one of the things you're saying you'll get blowback for is rino. why?n republicans are fighting each other it's not over a serious policy issue, it's over a tactic. do we vote to have government shutdown or not to. everybody was against obama care. it really wasn't a policy issue, it was a tactical issue. the point is i don't think either side is a moral issue. it's a matter of tactical preference. >> you believe this is damaging to the republican party? >> very. >> in 2014 you wrote they should have a clean sweep but shouldn't have in fighting because it hurts their own party. >> we should have a banner year in 2014. the only thing that will keep us from it is in-fighting and back biting. when you call somebody a rino, who gets to decide what the purity of a republican is. has god died and left someone in charge of the republican party and forgot to tell the rest of us? i don't think so. i look at it this way. every republican i know who is elected to any office is closer to me than harry reid and nancy pelosi. i'd much rather have republicans who may

there is blowback.ears and years ago at "wall street journal" i have mentioned hey, this is early 1990s and city law and seeing it shrink. when there was big fight with the boss, and you're going through personal things, aren't you? having knowledge of seeing a shrink. you have to be careful. but you should reveal some things and think what helps me with what i reveal? >> there is fine line sharing your personality, letting it shine and drawing a boundary between what you want to be your public persona and what should be kept private. you want to, i have just written a book called, find your sweet spot. the main message is work from strength. you want to be perceived in the office as the strongest, most excellent person who will deliver really good work product. if you share too much, religious stuff or, your -- melissa: why, why is religion a negative? why is sharing too much, if you're, you go to church or synagogue every week and that doesn't show that you have good moral characterer? that you're try

i think the conservative blowback says more about the conservatives right now than it does about "theew york times." >> sally, because dylan mentioned that, it's worth bringing up. we saw the editorial page editor say no to conspiracy theories. no connection between the news reporting and the opinion side of the newspaper here. what did you make of the fact he came out and said that? >> i found that somewhat troubling. there is this sort of trend that that comes on the heels of conservatives for a long time arguing that there's this sort of liberal media bias. and then it becomes the self-fulfilling prophecy. the media rushes to prove it's not and they fall over itself to defend its actions and the "times" actually upped the conservativism of its reporting to try to appeal to appease those conservative critics and then create a conservative bias in the media. so it is deeply troubling. the other thing troubling about this overall, it's good to get the facts. i agree with everyone. we need the facts about what actually happened. the reason this continues to be an ongoing story is solel

that's his field command of 1953 coo, a sided case of blowback; right? it led to this, and led to hostility, two questions, first of which was the cia doing funding this pro-ash antidesignonnist group, and not what one expected the cia to be doing, and why was kim roosevelt the enemy of nationalism in iran, why was he backing the group, which, among other things advocated for arab national i.c.e.s like the egyptian nasa? well, i did look at records, snoop around in other record groups like at the state department and go to british records as well. you learn a surprising amount of information about cia operations in the period or speculation of private papers, things like that, and interviews with surviving intelligence offices of the day and family members of them, and what emerged from the research was an account of the cia in the 1940s and 1950s, and this is, at the moment, really at the birth of the cia coming into existence in 1947, and this a also the redding the beginning of the u.s. official involvement in the middle east. it's even little officia

accol blowback from explosive allegations in the soon to be released memoir from former secretary ofd to special counselor to bill clinton and i asked him whether these allegations will stick. >> to tear down hillary clinton is a sport. you can have secretary gates, which is what happened. 99% of what he wrote was positive about senator clinton. and you have a couple of folks and some of them on the left and some of them on the right go for the 1% where he made a comment that she was being political, having no idea what the context of what she said. >> this is what mr. gates alleges, hillary clinton told the president that her opposition to the surge in iraq had been political because she was facing him in the iowa primary. the president conceded that the opposition to the surge had been political. to hear them make these admissions to me was as surprising as dismaying. his take on it was this was a dismaying thing to witness the pure politics behind major decisions about life and death. >> as long as i have known her, this notion that she takes positions because of what direction th

what they will do if they're worried about the political blowback is they'll decline to enforce it. if there's a president president in 2017, he can use a same justification that the obama administration did, and through executive order get rid of the mandate without any action by congress. that's the real danger that -- >> well, already give you the last word. why do you think the mandate is absolutely vital? >> the reason is, without bringing additional people into the market, then we will face this problem of adverse selection and continued higher rates. that will will not be good for the long-term sustainability. >> i get the adversion -- but what i'm saying is the current system, the young people will not sign up, anyway. so i would argue it's not working, and i would also argue if the administration wants to force it to work or somehow come down hard on it, that will make it worse. the political situation worse and the insurance situation worse. >> look, they're going to have to balance those decisions as they look to the election. i think it will stay in place for now. >>> al

the bulk of the rest of it is about handling the feedback and blowback, receiving complaints from the public, the ft. lee mayor at great length, complaints from the police and emergency technicians, the memo from the port authority, he seems to have been out of the loop on this scheme. we see, i think, for the first time here, his angry memo putting a stop to this scheme, calling it potentially illegal. we see, for the first time, i think, his angry memo is sent to the governor's office. not to bridgette kelly, the deputy chief of staff that arderred this, but ord staffer of governor christie. somebody he tapped to become the chief of staff. the governor's office noticed this was happening in ft. lee and it was a problem and maybe illegal and they had that notice directly the week that the shutdown happened. i'll also save you the swear words but we also, in this document get treated to the governor's spokesman and david wildstein using all sorts of new jersey language about pat foye who stopped the scheme. they call him all sorts of stuff. receiving the complaints from local official

some of the players knew they were inflicting pain and took steps to shield themselves from any blowback. the documents come from the state assembly committee that's investigating the affair. more than 2,000 pages of e-mails, letters and other correspondence. a lot to go through. no smoking gun right now, perhaps, but clear indications at this point that chris christie's top appointee to the agency as well as another christie appointee were aware that closing several lanes of traffic leading to the george washington bridge could cause political fallout. they also reveal that state officials were made aware that the traffic was potentially affecting public safety. again, though, no smoking gun like the one that touched off the scandal in the first place. christie aide bridget kelly's e-mail to port authority david wildstein -- wild stein is gone from his job take the fifth. when asked about the affair governor christie fired kelly yesterday as you may know. she may soon be called to give testimony. that could be interesting of course. a source telling cnn "it's widely held in trenton this

but certainly there is that blowback when they are shown to treat foreign reporters in this way, and as i said, often much worse for chinese dissidents or reporters of chinese nationality trying to get the word out online or amongst each other. >> well, david, you bring up a very good point, and that is the fact it brings even more attention to the human rights abuses, particularly of that individual who you were calling attention to. is there any concern now when you go out on the street, when you do your follow-up stories, that perhaps it will be more action that's taken against you now that they are on your radar and this is out there? >> reporter: well, it has to be on your radar, no matter where you're reporting around the world. i don't want to overplay this incident, but certainly there are certain things that one has to be careful of in china in terms of dealing with authorities. this is one party controls the media entirely on the local level. there is no such thing as a really independent chinese media within the country. so foreign reporters play this role, that is, trying

what kind of blowback have you received politically?he issue. they haven't considered the tax savings that would occur if the minimum wage were raised. and when i've discussed the issue with many of them privately, including some prominent republicans, prominent free market people, they are much more open to the idea than most people would expect. >> what do you think of the idea of using other more targeted methods of addressing this problem that you're talking about and that is those who may be living at the poverty level or mining off a minimum wage job, something like the tax credit, would that be a better idea here? >> i don't think so. it's essentially a government welfare program. it's the taxpayers paying the workers of a business because the business doesn't want to pay them themselves. i believe in the free market and i believe businesses should stand on their own two feet and pay their own workers so that society doesn't have to make up the difference. >> so, you know that there is going to be a higher minimum wage that will
