inaction tears at ouconscience and can lead to more costly intervention later. >> according to casey, the principles draw heavily from the just war tradition, which says there must be a just cause for such intervention. >> what people need to be looking for, particularly with respect to libya, is to what extent are war crimes being committed, are innocent people being directly targeted, is there something approaching genocide occurring on the ground at this point. >> reporter: once that has been determined, thnext questions are who s e auority forapproving a inrvention a whoas t reonsilityf caying it out? >> simply because you may have a justification for intervention, that doesn't answer the "who" question. should france be the one who intervenes? should saudi arabia intervene? should the arab league? should the africa union? there are a lot of regional entities there that may actually have some resources that could be applied militarily. >> reporter: atrocities in and of themselves don't automatically trigger intervention. >> sure, we have a commitment to fighting injustice, but tha

casey walks out. people ask me, when do you think is the worst case of ordinary justice then clearly when people spend decades in prison, those kilmeade. to be innocent in prison and to have a community who thought -- those kilmeadl me. to be innocent in prison and to have a community who thought you were guilty, but there was this guy, and no one stood up. there was a line of public defenders in the first row who could have said, where is jon casey? nobody stood up, and that is one of the problems of ordinary injustice. they become so worried about their own interests that they stop thinking about the people they are supposed to be protecting. >> we should have invited that judge to come to see what he would say. last year, our reporter went into a courtroom -- nez reporter went into a courtroom, and he sought -- a reporter went into the courtroom, and he saw the judge. he saw hundreds of people waiting for justice every day. what he did not see was a lawyer, so he took it upon himself to study it an

casey: thank you, madam president.irst i want to thank senator landrieu for her leadership on these many issues and especially on this critically important legislation to small businesses and for allowing me just a few minutes to talk about the amendment that i've offered. it's amendment number 216, and it addresses a crucial issue that feablghts subcontractors, particularly subcontractors who are minority-owned or women-owned firms in the united states of america. when i was the auditor general of pennsylvania, we audited this program or a similar program at the state level and found all kinds of problems, all kinds of abuses when prime contractors don't do what they're supposed to do. in many instances prime contractors routinely will list a minority-owned firm or a woman-owned firm to make their application in a competitive process without informing the named subcontractor and then puts that subcontractor at a disadvantage. and once the contract is awarded, the business is not given to the named subcontractor. so th

a major setback to casey anthony. she's set to stand really accused of killing her young daughter. her defense team was fighting to stop potentially incriminating statements she gave to police, but yesterday a judge delivered a devastating blow. more from mark potter. >> reporter: the ruling in orlando is a big win for the prosecution which plans to use casey anthony's own words against her in trial. judge bell vin perry rejected the defense argument that some of anthony's statements to police should be thrown out because she wasn't read her miranda rights. >> this is huge for the prosecution to be able to show that a mother was lying to the police about the disappearance of her own daughter. >> reporter: defense attorneys argued that anthony should have been read her rights when she was first arrested for alleged child neglect in july 2008. not after she was charged three months later with murdering her daughter, caylee. >> that entire time you didn't mirandize. >> correct. >> reporter: in explaining why he never read her her rights, the detective said anthony at that point appear

chief casey sat in on the meetings with us. he asked why they were endorsing the changes because it put restrictions on intelligence. he said, we are a local police department. we are not the cia. that is still the case today. we need transparency. we've had transparency around these issues in san francisco consistently for a number of years. that has disappeared in recent months for reasons we cannot tell. it is very timely you are looking into these issues. i will briefly point out that the joint chairs and task force involves the assignment of police officers to the fbi. we are sending two officers full-time to work the fbi headquarters on joint terrorism activities. the police department has taken the position they cannot even tell us how many officers are assigned. they were publishing it. [tone!] supervisor avalos: what detailed do you have or how shall we try to procure more information about the joint task force? >> i think the starting point is the question they have refused to answer for reasons we do not understand.
