. >> we're talking with marwa marwamarwan marwan muasher, a fellow at the carnegie endowment for international peace. what do you think will happen next? >> i do not see the regime surviving. i think that it has lost all credibility, all legitimacy, particularly in the region, in addition to losing, you know, wide support in syria itself. no regime that, you know, has killed all these many people will be allowed in my view to survive. the question is when and how. this is not going to be quick or easy. what will give is still not clear whether it will be an inside operation within syria, whether it is the russians or the chinese changing their mind or whether it is the international community changing its mind as well. but i don't see the status quo being able to sustain itself over the next few months. >> the work of our guest, marwan muasher is available online at carnegie endowment.org. >>> this is c-span radio.

chairman, you also brought up the issue of the carnegie melon mellon report, and i would like to hit some of that, because i do think that's an important report, ait has -- it really ap this discussion that we have going on now. as i have stated previously, that report and that assessment was early on in the d.i.b. pilot. that done mean that we can't do better. in fact, let me turn that around and say, for us to be successful in cyberspace, it's going to require government and industry working together with best of both. industry partners see signatures that government doesn't see and government sees signatures or militia software, exploitations and attack into the country that industry doesn't see. information sharing and the ability to do that is key to stopping that. what i see from the d.i.b. pilot was increased discussion between government and industry, and this was a good thing. and it has grown. it continues to grow and we're getting better. so in legislation, what i think is we need to make the first step. we need to start. start on that journey. we won't get it perfect but

and thank goodness for carnegie libraries and our traditional public libraries and librarians. we found a good librarian and we asked. we pulled out the freedom of information act and read it and we thought, wonderful. we wanted to know the instructions to staff were, because what happened seemed -- we just couldn't believe it. was this sort of normal or was this some rogue agent or something like that? and, you know, freedom of information act said all staff and it must be made public. period. simple. and i'm a statistician. i wanted to see information about how they were working. what happens if you went down path a, what were the odds, if you went down path b. to make a long story short, you know, we asked for this information originally because we thought it would help us. right? but the pace of events moves slowly, although looking back, it was rapid in comparison to events today. but they didn't progress along. so we didn't get the information in time really to help us. we decided, you know, this is wrong and the law says this. you know, the government should comply. and

number one, the carnegie mellon study that i referenced earlier that says you cannot -- most consumers cannot even access these do not track mechanisms. so, that's one reason. and the second reason is, because these big entrenched companies, i'm concerned about, in terms of self-regulation, that they will use self-regulation, privacy, as a tool, as a weapon, if you will, to preserve their positions. and, against entry by smaller rivals. i'm concerned about that. >> commissioner, thank you. and i share similar concerns, that whenever we allow the strong force of government to enforce, was the term that was used here, that has not been ratified nor approved by members of this
