carney received her a.b. cum laude from harvard university in 1973 and her juries doctorate magna cum laude from harvard law school in 1977. upon graduation from law school, she clerked for judge campbell on the first circuit and then entered private practice. after eight years of private practice, ms. carney was self-employed for the next six years, engaged in contract legal work and doing consulting. in 1994, the nominee returned to legal practice as counsel to bretthoff and kaiser here in washington, d.c. in 1996, she moved to the peace corps where she served as associate general counsel for two years. in 1998, she joined the general counsel's office at yale university where she has been the deputy general counsel for the past nine years. my concern with ms. carney's nomination is her lack of experience. she has judicial experience and has limited litigation experience. ms. carney has never authored any scholarly legal work of note, and much of her work product provided to the committee consists of present

. >> we are listening into the daily briefing from white house spokesperson jay carney. some interesting new details we are hearing from jay carney as he recounted information now provided by the department of defense on what happened in the compound where osama bin laden was shot and killed. we now know there were two other families in that compound. osama bin laden was not armed, but he did resist the navy s.e.a.l.s who entered the compound and eventually killed the leader of al qaeda. but, again, jay carney saying that there was resistance also by another woman who was shot in the leg. she survived. this woman was osama bin laden's youngest wife and was in the room with him. when the commandos entered the xound we know now they were met obviously with resistance. it was a 30 to 40-minute gun battle and this was something jay carney pushed really hard on. they remain invisible. they were the e knit deployed to take out the al qaeda leader. very few people know who those members are. in fact that does not seemlike to change. dick hoffman recently retired from the navy a

jay carney saying he was in the room. and again, at the very foundation of this decision is this administration believing that it was not the national security interests of this country for these photos of osama bin laden dead to be released. there was a lot of pressure on this white house and certainly as we have been reporting over the last few days, there is a sort of internal deliberation as to whether or not it should be done. and i asked jay carney if it was the majority opinion of those advising the president that the pictures should not be released, and he said yes shg. we do know that the cia director leon panetta had been public about suggesting that the pictures would be released, but again, most of those around the president advising him according to jay carney were telling him that the photos should not be released. >> let me jump in, because you mentioned pa net tashgs anettap juxtaposing the news that we heard from him last night indicated to the public that a picture would be released. >> this is a portion

jay carney saying that was not the case.he president's inner circle, his cabinet level officials as well, joining that debate. and ultimately leading to the president's conclusion today. >> and dan, stick around. i know you have this 2:00, roughly 2:00 white house briefing. if you can, just stay right there. i want to bring in dana bash on capitol hill. what is the reaction there now on the decision not to release the photos? >> reporter: we don't have reaction to the decision yet. but i can tell you all day long our team has been talking to members in both parties. and it has been a real split here, randi, over whether or not this is the right decision, whether or not these photos should be released. it's very interesting, it doesn't necessarily fall on party lines. it seems to be personal opinions of people, some of whom have formed opinions. saxby chambliss from georgia, he is also the top republican on the senate intelligence committee, he says he has seen one photo. he said that it looks like what you would expect by so

we don't trot out this stuff as trophies that's not who we are what jay carney just said right there strikes right to the heart of what george w. bush did to this country and what president obama is trying to change or bush was governor of texas he executed one hundred thirty one people no other governor ever came close to putting the switch on as many prisoners and bush did it with ease as in a two thousand three article entitled the texas clemency memos by ellenborough in the atlantic magazine pointed out governor bush frequently approved the executions based on only the most cursory briefings on the issues in dispute the words he didn't think twice about taking another man's life even when the guilt of that man might be in question and bush wore these executions as a badge of honor saying in a two thousand presidential debate i'm proud of the fact that we hold people accountable when the supreme court handed bush the presidency back in two thousand he brought this same brutality to the white house and in doing so in many ways our nation became more brutal and bloodthirsty that's w

. >> as we mentioned, we're waiting on the white house briefing from jay carney. it is interesting, the debate apparently that was going on behind the scenes in the interview with brian williams, cia direct, leon panetta indicated the picture would likely be released. and so tell me more insight into the back and forth that was going on there. ultimately again the president's decision, though. >> reporter: you have to look at why these photos or part of the reason the photographs were taken. there were a number of steps that the u.s. troops took, contingencies in place, procedures in place to identify the body should osama bin laden have bound in that compound. u.s. officials by their own admission, background, briefing, and on camera briefings, admit they were not 100% sure osama bin laden was there. first, there was the facial recognition software that revealed it was likely bin laden, that they had captured and killed. dna tests which officials say proved 100% that it was osama bin laden that they had. then there is the photograph that the president has now dec

plus press secretary jay carney about to take questions on the bin laden photos. there are two sets of them. one shortly after the raid, one shortly before the burial. we'll take you right back to the white house as soon as that gets underway. we'll be right back. martha: a lot of new information popping on this story right now. fox is now confirming that there is indeed a video of the bin laden raid but that we're understanding will not be released. we know that in the situation room they watched all of this play out. there is also a video of the burial at sea. intelligence agencies are telling us that there was indeed -- just to backtrack on that for a second. we don't know whether or not they are going to release the video of the burial at sea. there are still photos we understand as well. that will be the main discussion in the briefing room. you've heard about the treasure trove of material that they found. according to jennifer griffin at the pentagon reporting this she says there actually was more intel, more data than you might expect from a man who was ve

white house press secretary jay cancer in pretty much summed -- carney summed up the administration's. >> i apologize even i'm getting confused. >> we share. repeatedly that a fire fight took place at bin laden's pakistani compound. jay carney himself echoed that story. >> they were engaged in a fire fight following the fire fight, the noncombatants were moved to a safe location and in the aftermath of this fire fight and there was a fire fight. >> again, it was a highly volatile fire fight but there was a fire fight. >> sean: today yarn seemed confused when reporters seemed confused about the consistency of their narrative. >> jay, you talked yesterday a lot about fire fight. who was it that was shooting back at the u.s. commandos? >> we have, as you know, since the moment this operation became public, been as helpful as we can be to provide as much information as we can and, in terms of the operational details, we have gotten to the point where we cannot cross lines because of the necessity for -- preserving the methods and operational techniques and capabilities of the kinds of for

take a listen to the press secretary, jay carney, quoting our president. >> it is important for us to make sure that very graphic photos of somebody who was shot in the head are not floating around as an incitement to additional violence or as a propaganda tool. that's not who we are. we don't trot out this stuff as trophies. >> security preparations also under way for the president's visit to ground zero tomorrow afternoon, without the places were all of this began, also head here to new york riding a so-called bin laden bump. those in his job approval numbers. the latest "new york times" cbs news poll has it 57% 11 points higher than last month. these type of event-driven bump does not have much in the way of staying power. after the capture of saddam hussein, george bush saw an 8-point spike that lasted a month. account president turn a temporary bit of good news for him into action that will be of lasting benefit for all americans? we start with nbc news mike viqueira at the white house with the latest from this afternoon's briefing. the big headlines, mike? >> we just saw the pre

but what about the 9/11 families, carney was asked? aren't they owed photographic evidence as proof positive that bin laden was killed? >> there is no question at all that osama bin laden is dead. he will not walk this earth again. >> reporter: white house officials concede there was a debate, but secretary of state clinton and secretary of defense gates argued against disclosure, and in the end, the president agreed-- no photos would be released. on capitol hill, some condemned the decision. >> i know he's dead. but i do believe it is in our national security interest to prove it beyond any reasonable doubt. >> reporter: but most seemed to accept the president's rationale. >> i think if someone doubts right now with all of the verification that we have, they're always going to doubt. and i don't think the pictures add anything. >> reporter: the president's decision was firm and categorical, according to advisers who are eager to portray him as decisive, that quality, they argue, is largely responsible for the jump in his approval rati

martha: there is a lot on the plate for jay carney. let's listen in and see how this goes. >> the president has made the decision not to release any of the photographs of the deceased usama bin laden. rather than -- rather first i will give the language the president used when he was recently interviewed about an hour ago to explain his decision. this is an interview with cbs "60 minutes." the president was asked, he said they were discussing bin laden's body was taken out of the compound, the president was asked about how they knew of it was him. and he said when they landed they had very strong confirmation at that point that it was him. photographs had been taken. facial analysis indicated that in fact it was him. we hadn't yet done dna testing, but at that point we were 95% sure. question, did you see the pictures? the president, yes. question what was your reaction when i saw them in the presents, it was him. question, why didn't you release them? the president. we were certain it was him. there was no doubt we killed usama bin la

carney: i have an amendment at the desk. the clerk: amendment number 8 printed in house report number 112-75, offered by mr. carney of delaware. the chair: the gentleman from delaware, mr. carney, and a member opposed each will control five minutes. the chair recognizes the gentleman from delaware. mr. carney: over the past week, officials have announced preliminary intelligence gathered from osama bin laden, pakistan hideout shows al qaeda had been plotting a terrorist attack on our nation's rail system. while roughly 1.7 million passengers ride in domestic and international flights daily, every week day, 34 million americans ride on trains and transit systems. the issue of rail security is more relevant now than ever and i'm here today to argue for making rail security a national intelligence priority. on march 11, 2004, nearly 200 people were killed in madrid as a result of a terrorist bombing while riding the commuter rail to work. in 2005, over 50 people were killed and 700 people injured on the london transit system in

this is white house spokesman jay carney. >> on orders of the president, a small u.s. team assaulted a secure compound in an affluent suburb of islamabad to capture or kill osama bin laden. the raid was conducted with u.s. military personnel assaulting on two helicopters. the team methodically cleared the compound and moving from room to room, in an operation lasting nearly 40 minutes. they were engaged in a firefight throughout the operation, and osama bin laden was killed by the assaulting force. in addition to the bin laden family, two other families resided in the compound, one family on the first floor of the bin laden building and one family in a second building. one team began the operation on the first floor of the bin laden house, and worked their way to the third floor, a second team cleared the separate building. on the first floor of bin laden's building two al qaeda couriers were killed along with a woman who was killed in cross fire. bin laden and his family were found on the second and third floor of the building. there was concern that bin laden would o

tim carney from the washington examiner. chrystia freeland, reuters editor at large. frame chapter two, the post-osama chapter of america's war on terror. >> we're at a pivot point. the first generation is demised, is don this is the end of it. we chopped off the head and we've now proliferated it to a much lower level but a larger level. we have the likes of awlaki and others who have taken up the cause in many ways. while they may not be planning large events, they're much more effective in understanding us, our society and i think moving forward with things like "inspire" magazine and trying to encourage folks like major hassan and shashad to make things difficult for days to come. >> nobody understands better the physical mechanics of getting helicopters into pakistan and actually what happened in that 40-minute time period as it is something you, yourself, have both practiced and counseled to. did they, in fact, build a model compound and practice in a second facility? in other words, how did this happen? >> they essentially from what my guys told me today did bu

spokesman jay carney warned photos of the corpse are gruesome and could be inflammatory.s proof bin laden is dead. >> there were concerns and questions that had to be debated about just exactly what kind of impact would these photos have. but the bottom line is that, you know, we got bin laden and i think we have to reveal to the rest of the world the fact that we were able to get him and kill him. >> dr. phil mcgraw hosts the dr. phil show. he's in los angeles today. dr. phil, i inundated with e-mails and messages from viewers yesterday with very strong opinions on both sides of this. let me ask you to come down. is there a -- would there be an impact on the national psyche to see what we have been told are rather gruesome pictures that you can see blood and brain matter. >> contessa, and thanks for talking about this, because i think it is an important issue. i don't need to see this picture. i can tell you from a psychological standpoint i have every confidence he has been located and killed. i have confidence in the dna and i have confidence in our leaders to tell us
