tom we were very interested at the time to see how we were formulating energy policy because there cheney was stonewalling producing it producing any documents revealing what was going on behind closed doors with his energy task force and we filed document requests with the energy department and with various national security agencies and what pops up a document which showed that the american oil companies were meeting with the administration giving up the oil. fields in iraq they were again b.s. but those oil fields were being controlled by european companies we wanted control of those companies and i've always believed that one of the primary reasons we invaded iraq was to get control of this oil wealth effect this. we have a full screen graphic i think we can show or maybe we should just show our viewers this graphic of iraq that is came out of your lawsuit that they literally were dividing that here it is right here they literally were dividing the country up and and these blocks down here in the lower end where the big oil chunks are and then a list of the that is titled the headline

cheney would be saying? and i don't think that president bush would have put out any kind of a message. you know, i was really captivated by some of the things that were happening in times square. this was pretty interesting. well, the president was talking about coming together, which i think the people really did. here he is last night talking about that. >> the cause of securing our country is not complete, but tonight we are once again reminded that america can do whatever we set our mind to. that is the story of our history. whether it's the pursuit of prosperity for our people or the struggle for equality for all of our citizens, our commitment to stand up for our values abroad, and our sacrifices to make the world a safer place. let us remember that we docan d these things not just because of wealth or power but because of who we are, one nation under god indivisible with liberty and justice for all. >> republicans are doing everything they can to save bush's legacy. newt gingrich spun it like this. i

we'll have dick cheney on to give the bush-cheney perspective on what has gone down. we will find out what it was like to look for him under the bush administration. as john boehner said, the head of the snake is been decapitated. is the snake still alive? that is the important question. now we are going to see and have to examine what this means to out gotta in the future -- what it means to allocate a -- al queda in the future. the world has basically intervened to disrupt al qaeda. there have not been significant attacks in the past several years. the underwear bomber, the times square attempt -- there have been attempts that could have been bad but they have not been able to do what they did on 9/11. >> thank you. >>> you can watch the interview here on abc 7 tomorrow morning at 10:00. >>> tolls on the dulles toll road could surge by the year two thousand 40. that is according to the washington examiner. the numbers are said to be preliminary. the tolls could be lowered if the project can get a special federal loan to lower interest rates. >>> a statue of presiden

and great, they're thinking first the dick cheney bit and now he's bashing reading an research.. the majority of my job and my life is still spent on the journalistic side of the endeavor, it's still spent doing research and figures out what's true and what's false and rolling it into this hopefully humorous, yet enough to piss people off clump of opinion. so that's still part of it. but the crucial part of it is what you do to provide that spark, that truly builds those ideas. and now, it can be anything, it can be as simple as a walk down the street to a park. it can be a trip to bornio to see flying squirrels. it can be a hike in the mountains, it can be seeing a homeless person on the street, it can be going fishing or tripping over a curb, any number of things that make up living life can help you build that spark and build ideas. and it's not just for me and cartoons, it works for my cartoons and for my life, but it's the same thing for novelists, c.e.o.'s, physicists, it's the same thing. you need that outside creative spark. and everything along the way, even though it m

i know why dib cheney went to iraq. >> wow.t it didn't have to do with al qaeda or bin laden. it had to do with the oil. >> that was the camouflage. that was to get the american people excited about going to war in iraq again. the real reason for iraq, and incidentally the reason we aren't coming home anytime soon is the oil. >> you know, you mentioned dick cheney as if he was making the decisions. i want to play one more clip from george bush in that same interview and get a response from you. let's watch first. >> can you name the president of chechnya. >> no, can you? >> the president of taiwan? >> yeah, lee, theual pakistani general took over office, he appears he's going to bring stability to the country, and i think that's good news. >> but you can't name him? >> general. i can't name the general. >> and prime minister of india? >> the new prime minister of india is -- no. >> now, at the time, i remember some people said, well, that was unfair, you can't ask somebody running for president to know world leaders, but his pr

and here are the differences between president bush and dick cheney almost literally pushing the 500sy cutter bombs down onto iraq and not getting what they were targeting. and the approximate the getting the purpose that he was targeting. >> there's a difference between being cold blooded and being a sadist. i think presidents had to be cold blooded. >> i think most people would agree with that. >> but all the debate about whether osama bin laden was defending himself, whether he had a weapon or didn't have a weapon, let's face it. based on what we are thinking, the president's order was to shoot and kill. >> todd, you said some people never get the message. liz cheney and bill crystal put out a statement in their capacity as leaders of the group keep america safe. here is part of the statement. >>> no mention of president obama there. isn't this strange? let's watch. >> all i know is what i've seen in the newspaper at this point. but it wouldn't be surprised if, in fact, that program produced results that ultimately contributed to the success of this venture. >> the ministry of tru

not an accident dick cheney said, hey, maybe the vital information did come from them.ould cabin those people who have a dog in this fight and say what they did saved the country. let's call that a kind of lunatic fringe and move on. i think with the exception of a handful of torture apologists who do do have a dog in this fight who do have some stake in the idea that america is a country that abeen as done the geneva conventions and tortures at random, most right-thinking americans to the extent they think about it at all, think that that was an error. so i think we really just want to isolate the folks who are turning this into a referendum of torture and say it is not a referendum on torture, we know, as a factual matter that torture didn't lead to this information, as you pointed out but as a completely normative matter we know we shouldn't torture it doesn't work it leads to bad information it leads us to chase false leads. so so bracket the handful of people who have a stake in trying to prove otherwise, the rest of us need to move on the. by the way what does it

joining me to tackle that one our powerhouse roundtable, abc's george will, liz cheney, the former deputytant secretary of state and co-founder of keep america safe, tom ricks who writes the best defense for "foreign policy" and lawrence of "the new yorker" and wrote in his book "the looming tower." the story of the week, bin laden is dead and pakistan is in the hot seat. around the table who is shocked and horrified to think that pakistan is saying it didn't know and who really believes that pakistan didn't know? >> neither in this case. pakistan we knew going in is a house divided against itself and as americans know a house divided itself must become one thing or another eventually. and the question is, how is there -- is there close to a tipping point? is it more healthy than unhealthy? that's a question we have to answer but the stakes are enormous. we're in afghanistan only because of pakistan. if it weren't next door to pakistan we wouldn't be there. >> liz? >> well, i think that it is surprising that he was 35 miles from islamabad. i think it's unclear whether anybody in the pakis

but dick cheney has a lot of money so he would be all right. >> okay. question number three.oplin, missouri, on sunday. is he a week too late? dana? >> i don't think so. what is he going to do, run down there and stop the tornados? this is the same stuff that was thrown at chris christie when he went to florida and there was a blizzard that hit new jersey and the left freaked out over that. i think that they shouldn't have freaked out over that. i don't think anyone should freak out over this. at the same time, i think the president needs to give it a little more attention. it happened in my state. a lot of people suffering here. >> robert? >> there are some issues that should be above partisan politics. our prayers should be with the victims of that terrible tragedy and we should also give great gratitude to our federal workers who are doing such a great job there. >> pete? >> let me channel kanye west carol and say the reason he's not there is because president obama hates white people. he should have been there, he could have stopped these tornados with his giant ping pong

the other what does that mean not only that you're going to happen cheney's ships you know the chinese military chinese pakistani joint military mission the arabian sea but this is absolutely crucial knew why there would be a crucial derby in the kikes like a water pipeline works what i usually start because it's part of the guideline that will come from europe to pakistan to the pipeline they're going to build it and a chinese step then to say look instead of going oh do we need to wind it will ruin it. so then we build an extension ourselves from pakistan to china so you can imagine china we produce the energy from the military front and on to diplomatic front and saw this rise of people in us with the little bit of pakistan are so desperate which is such as ironic because remember you know we are already a lot of the hawks on the hell are ready see china as the number one military threat even though the united states spends six times more than china on its military and more than the entire rest of the world combined so what's your sense i mean did you did the americans see this as s

you know, there are some people out there like vice president cheney and others who are suggesting yesterday that it was enhanced interrogation techniques such as waterboarding that led to the discovery of the courier who was -- who led us to bin laden. and that was the key break in the case. in fact, in further reporting, by myself and others, the trail is a bit more tangled than that, and suggests some other alternatives. in fact, the courier's name was first given up or -- his name was given up at interrogations at guantanamo. turns out he wasn't a kuwaiti at all. he was actually a pakistani who was born in kuwait. but when the most -- one of the more interesting parts is when they took his name to khalid sheikh mohammed, who was waterboarded 183 times and, who according to u.s. officials, was the mentor for this guy, the courier, khalid sheikh mohammed did not give up his real name. he first even suggested he didn't even know him and it was only later when they captured other detainees that they were able to fully identify who this courier was and then once they had his name, they were a

whether it was dick cheney in foreign policy or karl rove. george w bush always satisfied himself or told himself that it was other people who were doing that. as for him, personally, he'd stay away from it. his father was very much like that. and george w. was a little bit like that, too. he'd as soon let the others argue. and avoid another pageantry of praise or a pageantry of blame. >> are there any other controversial invitations the president might be issuing to this event? who else is he bringing in for this? >> my understanding from talking to white house officials tonight is they did invite former mayor of new york rudy giuliani. and the mayor accepted. the word as of a couple hours the mayor rudy giuliani will be there. that's the key one. there's some talk of perhaps president clinton coming. i think once george bush said no, i think the white house decided not to make it a pageant of the presidents in any sense. but to just keep it to president obama talking in a careful and considerate and compassionate way to families of survivor

we're also going to talk to vice president cheney who has been one of the biggest and sharpest criticspresident obama's policies in the war on terror. we'll ask him does he give obama any credit for pulling off this raid. but also, some of the issues that i suspect that he still has concerns about, for instance, enhanced interrogation, the way forward in afghanistan and libya, so i think it's going to be a very special "fox news sunday" with one of the president's toughest critics, former vice president cheney. >> chris, i wanted to ask you about the south carolina republican presidential debate, the first of the season, and the surprise of herman cane. >> according to the focus group, he came in the best. i think he had some strong points and weak points. he was very plain spoken, he wasn't sitting there waiting to get to the bell and fill out his time. he would say what he wanted to say and he would stop. and as a radio talk show host, he's pretty good at talking. that was his strength, and that clearly appealed to people. the negative was when it came to foreign policy, he really ha

>> yes, people like dick cheney, the former vice president. people like donald trump, a billionaire businessman who might run for the republican nomination to challenge president obama. he things to say about the president in recent weeks but praised him today. at the dinner, president obama was trying to harness that sense of unity, and he said it was comparable to that on 9/11, and he really appealed to politicians to unite, and i think that has already happened. people in the past have said not the nicest stuff about president obama, questioned his birth certificate in recent weeks, now rallying behind him. this is a moment to celebrate. it is seeing a strategic victory and an important one. >> in washington, thank you. and apparently billed as recent as 2005, just a two hour drive from the capital, raising questions about whether the al qaeda leader had support from inside the intelligence services. we have a report. >> it was, perhaps, more of a surprise here when the news broke than anywhere else, the american attack helicopters may have

individuals who conducted those techniques, something that has outraged many people, including dick cheney this morning. >> i'm not going to comment on the specific intelligence except to say the following, that it was gathered through detainees, gathered tech neck lly, gather oefrd time. >> and alex, in case anyone forgets the work of the nation, the president having a down day in washington. he was out for dinner with first lady michelle obama last night. but tuesday a big speech in el paso, texas, on the very aggressive issue. >> i was hoping he was having a down day, serving michelle breakfast in bed, taking auto the trash. let's not forget it's mother's day in the white house too. >>> they show a sign of osama bin laden that al qaeda did not want o you to see. in one of them you see the aging terrorist in that dingy room watching videos of himself as a younger man in those tv news reports. another shows him speak i directly to the camera, delivering one of those carefully crafted threats to america, only h this this is ane reel. i'll ask you this question on the heels of my thanks. gr

mitch daniels did -- >> dick cheney didid. >> it is kind of fascinating, because the base of the party do not want to give credit to the other party at any time. no one would say that george bush cares about his daughters or white if you were about fire- breathing democrats -- or wife if you care about fire-e-breathing democrats. so it is a certain maturity with romney and daniels -- >> at the lack of character on the part of palin -- >> and new? that does it.

dick cheney applauded the efforts today. >> finally getting it done. it has taken a long time. quex also killed, bin laden son and wife. there were in a first floor bedroom with bin laden using his wife as a shield. emotion is running high. >> it is kind of weird and if a like winning a national championship or something. >> i do not think we're safe just because he died. there needs to be more done. >> the question remains whether the u.s. is safer now that al qaeda has been decentralized. the feeling certainly seems to be that this has been a huge step in the right direction. >> necklace of new details on what else the navy seals obtained during the raid. u.s. officials calling this a mother lode. some drives and other alleged equipment are being examined in afghanistan. >> we're learning more about the local security efforts in the wake of his death. we see an increased security measure by the npd. >> today all day there has been unsettled and real tightening security at places like the metro station here. police and government officials do not know what will happen next but
