my friends at cbs news like that. seriously.holding people accountable for doing things that are illegal is important. we are demonstrating we are willing to do that in certain instances particularly extreme cases like abu ghraib. that was a travesty for our country. there is a problem when we oversimplify what happened in the past. there is shorthand for the use of torture or abuses at guantanamo. there is some myths about making happening. guantanamo, most people would agree including the attorney general who visited guantanamo soon after taking over the department of justice, is a good prison. i was on a radio program with tom parker had the same opinion that it was a bad idea, part of his concern had to do with the facility. the facilities in illinois will not have the same facilities they have been guantanamo where there is a library and internet access and soccer field and other facilities that are ideal. we don't talk about it because guantanamo as such a bad reputation. it was a symbol of extralegal detention of individu

>> i would recommend watching cbs news. i am frequently on air. listen to those other guys. holding people accountable for doing things that are illegal is important. we demonstrated that we are willing to do that. i think there is a problem when we oversimplify what has happened in the past. that is shorthand for the use of torture and the abuses at guantanamo. there is a bit of myth making that has happened over time. in guantanamo, most people would agree including the attorney general, it is actually a good prison. i was on the radio program the other day with a friend of mine that has a different view but when this announcement of the illinois facility being purchased to transfer individuals there, it was argued it was a bad idea. his concern had to do with the facility. he said the facility in illinois it will not have the same facilities. they have a library, a soccer field, internet access. these other facilities are ideal. guantanamo has such a bad reputation and it is a symbol for attention of individuals. i think part of it is a charact

i remember reading an article by richard who some of you may remember was a cbs news caster from prague in 1947, which everything is hunky-dory and etc. when it wasn't quite civil war, but czechoslovakia was really torn enormously between the various factions and the timing is finding one, and what might have been a victory without a convicted they were so well organized that they were about to take control. in any case, but if you read "pm," you would have thought nothing was going on of any kind. so i haven't read "the new york times" cover at the same time, it may have equally been naÏve, i don't know. >> in "pm" case i think it was often, it was often a wish come equal to the. roosevelt was invented as a hero are in proportion to what he was. during the war in abut who fought against hitler was a hero. and that included such odd choices as douglas macarthur and chang kai-shek, who should not have been heroes, obviously. but they were willing, you know, anyone who was enrolled in the war by definition became somewhat heroic or afterwards, the columnist who wrote about the way europe

david letterman became a punchline first, making his stunning admission in october, after suspended cbs news producer, joe halderman, allegedly tried to extort $2 million from the comedian for keeping quiet about his romantic affairs. weeks later, tiger's turn, acknowledging his own infidelity as a sealingly never-ending parade of women marched through the headlines. but is that where the similarities between the two scandals end? in these recently-released court papers, halderman's lawyer took another swing at getting his client's case dismissed, citing numerous news reports that claimed tiger woods paid alleged mistress, rachel uchitel as much as $5 for her silence. but halderman's lawyer points out that prosecutors didn't file charges against uchitel or any charges against her lawyer. why not? according to halderman's lawyer, because their behavior was capitalist, not criminal. he adds, the reality is that evidence of celebrity misdeeds has a significant fair market value. saying his client's offer was just a business transaction. and that no crime was committed here. letterman's lawyer f

. >> general, cbs news. you said the second brigade combat team is in, 81,000 strong.original timeline had the entire brigade being in haiti by this weekend. so what is holding up the deployment of the full brigade? if you have been air dropping supply, why can't you airdrop the troops themselves? >> that's a great question. obviously the delivery of capability here in haiti is a balancing act that requires troops on the ground to distribute humanitarian assistance. the supplies for them to distribute and the mobility necessary for them to be able to reach the communities that are most stricken. and quite frankly the earthquake did not take into account the location of drop zones when it achieved the effects that it did. and if we were to airdrop the 82nd, we then have other challenges inherent in that and our focus becomes distribution of them from their disbursted locations to where they need to help. suffice to say that in the ground commander's view, we are using the best method possible to get the most forces on the ground as quickly as possible. the insertion of

. >> cbs news. as you probably heard, the president is proposing spending freeze on discretionary spending, mullen security spending. is that enough, or would you consider that minor the tinkering? >> we have not analyzed that aspect of the proposal or any other aspect. we'll of course be analyzing the proposals when they are released next week and released the analysis of them in march. but the administration estimates as reported in various newspapers i read this morning is that they are proposing would save about $250 billion over ten years. again i don't know of that is the estimate we would produce because we don't know the specifics of the proposal and have not done the guesstimate. savings of $250 billion of that were to occur are substantial savings but clearly they are only a small share of the baseline deficit. we project a deficit over the next ten years of about $6 trillion under the current law and significantly more if the tax cuts were extended relative to those numbers the savings fr

that was dan rather, mary mapes and cbs news in mary mapes, dan rather's producer on the fake nationaluard story called jill lockhart he was running on john kerry's campaign to tell and to talk to the net to foams at the mouth when he talks to the media. that was their source of that story so it is the media that is spreading these stories and even the democrats are virtually blameless compared to the only attack machine that matters the media attack machine. >> host: you wrote about how joe the plumber's life became hell when he asked a simple question about barack obama's economic policy. >> guest: i think that is relevant now as the democrats are telling us how fabulous it is going to be when the government has computerized records of all of our medical forms. owen they will be confidential, will they? i think joe the plumber's records were supposed to be confidential too vignette those came soud and linda tripp's confidential records came out and what was the 800 republican files were supposed to be confidential. remember there was a human cry when someone at the state department h

the other afc wildquad is baltimore at new england on sunday on cbs. san diego and indianapolis get the byes, of course, so let's bring in tony dungy. how do you see it, tony? >> well, bob, i think it's going to be an excellent game. really because of the injury to wes welker, i think baltimore has a shot in this game. they can run the football, which is new england's weakness. baltimore will have to defend randy moss. and that makes it a little bit easier. i think it's going to be a great game. baltimore had a chance in the regular season, they kind of self-destructed, so i think it's going to be baltimore with a great shot, but new england does have tom brady. >> as we said earlier, you made half the point i was about to reiterate. they of course have tom brady. even though he's beaten up a bit, he will play. and bill belichick can game plan for a single game. i don't know if the patriots could make it through to the super bowl, but in a given game, not just this one at home, but if they manage to win it, in a given game, i don't think anybody looks

. >> dan ravine for cbs news. >> thank you, admiral. how are you. >> hi. >> this is about yemen. better mic have you been asked, i guess by the president, to come up with potential targets for what clearly could be described as retaliation for the december 25 attack and what are we doing in yemen and is it limited by our being overstretched? >> first of all, i want to applaud the actions of the yemeni government and the yemeni armed forces, because they've taken significant steps, visibly recently, but quite frankly, they've worked hard over the last couple of years, to improve their own capabilities. secondly, we are, we have been and if support from a training standpoint of what they're doing and how they're adapting to the threat. and with this very clear focus on the growth of al qaeda, and in yemen and specifically, from my perspective, to make sure that we don't create another safe haven there or another one doesn't get created. and then the third piece, operationally, i just don't discuss those kinds of details, what the president asks us to do or not do, and i just won't

>> i would recommend watching cbs news. i am frequently on air. did not listen to those other guys. -- to not listen to those other guys. holding people accountable for doing things that are illegal is important. we demonstrated that we are willing to do that. i think there is a problem when we oversimplify what has happened in the past. that is shorthand for the use of torture and the abuses at guantanamo. there is a bit of myth making that has happened over time. in guantanamo, most people would agree including the attorney general, it is actually a good prison. i was on the radio program the other day with a friend of mine that has a different view but when this announcement of the illinois facility being purchased to transfer individuals there, it was argued it was a bad idea. his concern had to do with the facility. he said the facility in illinois it will not have the same facilities. they have a library, a soccer field, internet access. these other facilities are ideal. guantanamo has such a bad reputation and it is a symbol for attention o
