all the department of justice and an organization representing police chiefs from around the u.s. called on to say for legislation that would mandate the internet service providers retain customer data at a hearing in the house judiciary subcommittee on crime terrorism and homeland security they expressed concern that in order to fight crime especially in the cases of child pornography eight iowa species to keep more data on their customers now nobody wants to stifle child pornography investigations but if passed this would affect all of us so what would it mean for privacy when you're discussing with music. and randy associate director of technology studies at the competitive enterprise institute brian thanks for being here but let's first start you know with why law enforcement considers this a problem i mean in the meantime every i.s.p. has their own policy right some keep this content for days some might keep it for months there's no formal rule that's correct right now internet providers vary dramatically in terms of how long they retain this data but by and large the data is

he also stated that the department of justice's office of professional responsibility would investigate the actions of the two officers, yet a year after that, we still have heard nothing out of office regarding their conduct. the department of justice has publicly talked about how they increased training in terms of discovery obligations, and they have issued memos in terms of what they are supposed to be doing, yet they have yet to do anything regarding the behavior of those prosecutors. contrast that to the case that occurred a couple years ago, that boasts -- that of the prosecutor in north carolina, where six months after the charges were brought against the lacrosse students, and they were charged with rape, the defense attorneys uncovered evidence in the files, and north carolina is open, but they found evidence in the files showing their clients were innocent. the state attorney general immediately dismissed the charges against those individuals, and a few months after that, he was disbarred for withholding evidence and evidence of innocence as well as improper statements he mad

. >> reporter: and each month, the california department of justice, compiles a list of people. >> people are advised when they are in court to turn over their firearms. but that someone is actually doing what they are suppose to do is where we're having the drop off. >> in the bay area, just four state agents do this work under risky conditions. and they are kind of at the mercy of the person that's on the other side of the door and opens the door. >> and we asked the state to provide a list of prohibited guns. they should have surrendered them to police. about a third of the and that turns into firearms. >> reporter: last friday, we went along as eight teams of the oakland police officers fanned out to reclaim those guns, targeting 46 gun owners. that prevents him of owning anything. >> other bay area counties are taking up steps to round off from people who are literally unknown. rs it -- after he refused to surrender more than 60 guns, they say that he was not suppose to have them because of a mental condition. they peacefully confiscated 16 pistols and rifles from this west oakland h

you have the department of justice, u.s. department of justice, really trying to intimidate people who are working with wikileaks. >> assange and wikileaks denied their publication of 250,000 state department cables put the lives of spies or diplomats at risk, but merely reveals embarrassing and hypocritical actions by the u.s. and its allies. >> even if you think what the people are doing is wrong, that is why the first amendment exists, to protect unpopular people engaging in unpopular speech. >> now, the subpoena of its records was unsealed at twitter's request, and as the company said in a statement today, which i will read, "we are not going to comment on specific requests, but to help users protect their rights it is our policy to notify users about law enforcement and governmental requests for their information." katie? >> couric: all right, dean reynolds from chicago tonight. thank you, dean. we will have more on the shooting in tucson today right after this. onstar. safely connecting you in ways you never thought pos

it's shorter than the average of the department of justice, and we work together with the department of justice to come up with seven years. >> did you consider, because of the conditions, voting against this merger? >> we considered it, but i think that we are for the merger. i think is going to be good for consumers and provide an interesting business opportunity for programmers and so i think we work toward a moderate conditions and lots of times it deals with everything they want. should congress narrow the scope of authority the fcc has over these reviews? something that's kind of mengin or pub debt or is it a matter of self restraint of the commissioners? >> i know that what the congress wants to do is we are a creature of congress and do what congress tells us to do and the congress is going to take a look at it and certainly is an area of concern that i have. >> if it were to you how would be conducted differently? >> it would have been more rapid in a timely manner and i think the conditions would be specific. there be in excess caused by the merger to the conditions and thei

wouldn't actually say all the words were legal that was so i do think he really runs a risk the department of justice in the form of the parent's right a bad word is not a weak defense department or it is really doing things you know that undermines his credibility to and it may make him worthless for the prosecution. so in that sense when we hear julian assigned like he said today in london feel the fear that you know he's also at risk of giving being given not only the death penalty which we hear a lot you know with people from other countries or of going to get mo is he really that far off considering how are treating bradley manning outside of guantanamo bay right here in virginia. i'm not sure i'd be sent to get not but the united states justice system is a pretty brutal justice system we do treat a lot of prisoners in solitary confinement even outside want to go outside of bracket know there are supermax cells and i think that the first bizarre thing about the astonished case is they have a hard time finding anyone even.

venom, i think of his enemies and their explicit in his downfall and i think in the way the department of justiceed in this case which in my opinion was outrageous. >> rose: why was it outrageous? >> well, let's look at it this way. the department of justice never goes after prostitution cases. particularly they have a guideline in the office that they never go after johns. they never brought charges against eliot spitzer. they brought charges against a young, 22-year-old woman running an escort service. and when they filed the affidavit of charges, it's very instructive. they have a couple of sentences on the clients, client one through eight get a couple of sentences. client 9 gets five pages and in those pages are all sorts of clues about who this character is. in my view, while it's probably overly simplistic to say what, they were doing was conducting an investigation in order to manage a leak, which is what happened. because we also know in addition to the affidavit, somebody from the investigation was not only calling the "new york times" but also giving leaks and hits to the "albany times

previous favorite lawyers search a very senior department of justice post white house senior you know how much power does the solicitor general really have because some people would even call this the the tenth supreme court justice. right that if you look back at the history of solicitors general they do have and almost outsized power the supreme court looks to them for guidance on what or what cases to hear obviously the supreme court don't takes less than five percent of the cases but if the supreme court sorry if the solicitor general says this is a very important case then the supreme court is more likely to hear it and so i traditionally know this is not written in the loft but this is a tradition and sometimes traditions in washington can be very important this a lister general is supposed to be independent almost a little cart from the administration unable to bring an independent voice to the do that matters before the supreme court so it's going to very interesting if we have popular cases go up and all of a sudden you have the ari favor lawyer maybe opposing maybe siding wi

. >> here impetigo five pipe bombs were discovered after the department of justice received a tip that a woman was storing the mirror. >> the but the cubs were contained in was in a storage unit very large. >> to the woman who rents the space was taken into custody for possession. two other individuals was also arrested however, they were later released. >> news this morning the house is set to vote to repeal president barack obama landmark health care what they're expected to give a thumbs down. although they have no substitute for their on fiction the house vote could turn to be the high water mark for the repeal a goal that energy is concerned routers and hubs republicans returned to power house republicans warn not to underestimate their willingness to use parliamentary maneuvers to deny funds to carry out the law. the mayors from san francisco and oakland will make their first trip to washington d.c. attending the u.s. conference. ed lee was sworn in as interim mayor is attending the state dinner. he scheduled to be with house minority leader. we'll hear more about their travels t

the problem is that the department of justice is dealing with terrorism in guantanamo, tucson, criminalyers do not have time for it. there have been thousands of referrals. literally thousands of referrals from congress to the department of justice under the lobbying disclosure laws saying that something is wrong here. as in absolutely no actions taken by the department of justice. one of the things that we did was talk to the department and ask -- what is going on? they said look, this is not in the wrong place -- this is wrong place. and forcing the campaign finance rules, the proposal is that congress will be giving this to the civil division of justice, which has resources and even focused on the same criminal issues on which they might do a better job. we need an answer. what happens is we're only taking a year or two to realize that nothing happened. and then people forget to file completely. host: washington, d.c. good morning. caller: my question goes back to foreign actors using lobbyists to influence petitions on congress. looking at these middle eastern countries, what are th

martin luther king here at the department of justice. of dr.ar's celebration king's life is special because i believe it is framed by a number of the events. first, as the attorney general has mentioned, the tragic events in the state of arizona. my thoughts, my prayers, and those of the national urban league are with congresswoman giffords and the families of those who have lost their lives. that pain that we experience as a nation is no way matching the pain that the family members and loved ones of the people who lost their lives feel at this time. when death comes suddenly, when death comes in a tragedy, when it comes from violence and in such a public way, those family members will experience this pain for days and months and years to come. dr. king, the great nonviolent phet, histy and prof celebration is framed by the events in arizona. this celebration is also framed by events 50 years ago. we began in 2001 this 50-year. period since the 1960's, since that time when this nation dramatically changed, decade of a great difference, t
