. >>> and also, back in this country, we learned this afternoon that former vice president dick cheney has undergone new heart surgery. this time, an operation to give him one of the most advanced devices in the world. a tiny pump implanted inside his chest last week. as we know, his heart disease goes back decades, to his first heart attack when he was in his 30s. dan harris has more on the latest surgery. >> reporter: the pump that was implanted into the former vice president's heart last week is called a left venn trick call assist device. it's a battery-powered device that goes right next to the heart to give the main pumping chamber, the left ventricle, some extra juice. traditionally, these have been used only as a short-term solution, to buy some time for heart transplant conditions while they wait for their new heart. but increasingly, doctors like this one from columbia, who we skyped with late today, are looking at them as a permanent fix for people like mr. cheney, who has severe congestive heart failure, but may not be conditions for a transplant. would you describe this as

remember after 9/11 vice president dick cheney said the way to help support america was to keep shopping is the weak point in the american economy though because in order to keep shopping many americans have to buy on credit and of course easy credit was the problem, one of the problems anyway that led to the current crisis. now, the data we are seeing show americans are actually keeping their heads, paying down credit cards while spending less just like your parents advised you. that's good for you. it's bad for the economy. we're buying fewer books from amazon.com but buying more electronic books. the washington state based company says not only are kindle sales up but for the first time it sold more e books than traditional books. now, amazon is a bit hazy about exact numbers but it is sort of a notable shift that the first time people watched more cable than broadcast or the first time people had more cell phones than land lines and now in the case of amazon more people than regular books. >> interesting. >> i don't know. >>> americas cup boat race could be bringing more than a billi

assert that, quote, -- i quote from the film, the 2005 energy bill pushed through by congress by dick cheney exempts the oil and natural gas industries from the cleanwater act, the clean air act, the safe drinking water act, the superfund law and about a dozen other environmental and democratic regulation, end quote. thanks patently false. they must comply with all these laws with the caveat that the hydraulic fraction process was never regulated under the safe drinking water act in its 60-year history. and that particular energy bill was supported by 74 yes votes in the senate, including those at time of senators obama and salazar. most alarmingly, gasland has a stunning scene of man turning on a tap, sticking a lighter under it and watching it ignite. gasland blames natural gas development for the flaming faucet. but the colorado oil and gas conservation commission wrote, quote, dissolved methane appears to be biogenic. that means naturally occurring in origin. there are no indications of oil and gas-related impacts to well water. but perhaps the most telling repudiation of this film comes

since you are from casper, wyoming, a shout out to our former vice-president dick cheney, route is in hospital and i hope he will fully recover. great man. in regards to what you say about why president bush and the republican leadership in its 12 years of having a majority in the house and most of that time in the senate, i was -- individually, you asked me what i would do -- i was very proud to be the original co-sponsor with the chairman of the house services committee, duncan hunter, a senior, as we passed the bill to construct 700 at miles of fencing on the southern border. i think we're getting very close to completing that fencing. no, the entire border is not fenced. 2000 miles long. cameras, miles and miles of patrol, and these are dedicated men and women. i don't think that the national guard is trained to patrol our borders. we certainly hope that that will not be necessary. but we can control and sealed our border. it did not take us too long, when we decided that russia was ahead of us in the space program, to put a man on the moon. i remember in 1969, just six years afte

of all ideal of that he is that i have read up in history that under dick cheney when he was under richard nixon, his presidency the loss of it was the belief the president has the power, even obligation, to act however he sees fit regardless of the constitution and i honestly and truly believe that for the last eight years bush turned a blind eye and in that wall street get by while he was getting himself lined up with the big oil deals and the middle east. host: another twitter message here -- one more piece out of "usa today." these attacks in uganda. i warning to africa, say analysts. the bombing of this road but we -- rugby club in uganda and eight restaurants -- a message to african nations that they should not try to stop the militant islamist movement in somalia. this from countered terror analysts. that is and "usa today." also this piece today, the leader of sudan facing war crimes charges. this is just one of the many write ups in the paper over this. last couple of calls. question -- do you have faith in president obama and congress? pasadena, maryland, a democrat, laura. calle

if former vice president dick cheney's experience is similar to other patients, he has a better than 50% chance of surviving two years. the device should allow him do as -- activities as strenuous as riding a bicycle, but it is far from a miracle cure for it -- and stayed congestive heart failure, the condition for which he apparently suffers. in a statement wednesday he said he was entering a new phase of the disease and decided to take advantage of one of the new technologies available. he has not made public the key details of his treatment, including the exact type of device he received. it is not know whether a heart transplant is being considered. but experts on heart failure and a published studies of ventricular assist devices sketch a general picture of his prognosis. it is likely received a heartmate ii lvad, made by the california company thoratec. it is an electrical device implanted in the chest that draws blood from the left ventricle and pumps it into the aorta, the main artery leaving the heart." they have a chart here in this article by david brown. here is the chart

my main concerns is that we went into the war mainly because of the disaster of george bush and dick cheney who now own curdish region of iraqi oil. his father was pushed into going to war. now they are in the curdish region and owns the oil. as soon -- as long as he is there, they will be there to protect the interest of the one american. i would encourage everyone to go them and see the fascinating articles that come up. what is your stance regarding that? guest: there's no doubt that oil is an important economic asset. i would just like to clarify that most -- the majority of the major oil fields in a iraq are under the country. nearly all of the oil contracts were awarded to various international countries. only one of which is american. you cannot really equate the search for oil directly with american policy. there are other companies involved, some of which are american. the scale of the involvement cannot be compared to the amount of oil. trying to make an easy equation with u.s. military involvement, i think the equation is perhaps too simplistic. i think the proof is very clear. i

caller: honestly i said from the beginning that the only reason george bush and dick cheney went into war because they wanted a war, they wanted to be war presidents. what corporation making a billion dollars a year in contracts is going to say, phenol what, we will stop making the billion dollars a year and stop the war. i really think we have privatized it to the point where we would never, ever be able to stop it. what company in their right mind would say that? host: let us take a look back at the "new york times" piece. texas, john, independent line. caller: i just wanted to comment on the wikileaks. i think it is a good thing he is doing that because everybody should know what is going on in the war and what is going on with everybody around the world so everybody gets in tune and it's pretty much a feel of what is going on. ithaca, newgo to york, where you have jamie. caller: thank you for taking my call. i think the bigger thing this shows with the classified documents is there too many things that are made classified. how does a report of an incident in 2004 honestly going to
