the military has tried to gag the individual that gave us disinformation. the official has suggested that the fighter jet involved might have strayed off course from the area that the military has been targeting military positions. the military has been insisting that there are no civilians killed. they said that they had intelligence that militants were gathering at the scene. people who survived at the hospital insist that there were no militants in the village. they said that they have built up their own defenses to keep them out. there was an initial strike, local people rushed to give assistance and add to that point there was a second round of bombing which claimed many lives. the authorities have paid out compensation to the victims. they sent food to the area. this is a signal that they believe that a very tragic mistake has been made. >> and brazilian rancher has been convicted of murdering an american nun in 2005. he ordered the killing of the environmentalists because she blocked him seizing land at the government had given to amazonian farmers.

the enemy is very effective in propaganda and disinformation. the best way to counter that is through the u.s. media and international media. so i'm all for more reporters, more transparency. there's a downside, could be breaches of security, but my experience has been with journalist i have had the privilege to work with or to host temporarily in iraq, that that's not really much of a risk. >> that's been me experience doing it as well. although as i say there a lot of questions in the media community about, are you compromising your independence by being imbedded? i always found, while it is the ancient right of every soldier to gripe, that no one holds back -- there's no secretary of defense sitting out there. but the general and the specific. the sense -- the transparency is part of our military and the specific sense that there are things we do and must do in this war that maybe should or should not change the dynamic between government and the media. >> well, my own view of -- certainly i'm in the media on the battlefield with our troopes

the enemy is counseling on this propaganda and disinformation so it's in our interest to give the maximum access to the media. we don't lie. the enemy lies. >> after being in iraq when a time when they were negotiating this with the iraqis on the status of forces agreement, those negotiations were kept secret for obvious reasons because they were negotiations. and there was no intent to keep that from the more than people. just that we have positions, the iraqis have positions. if we expose those positions, and have disagreements with the iraqis and a breakdown of a political relationship, and trying to come to a common agreement. and if you open that up, that would, i think, risk the agreement. al mall can -- he wanted to get- >> the disempowerment of congress. >> senator clinton couldn't go. >> just state your name. >> professor ackerman, i was taken by your proposal of creating new structures, and also the fact that you are basically saying that words create reality, that language creates reality, and therefore instead of calling it war, we should call it -- start naming it a state of

other countries have had recalls of disinformation. information was not shared by toyota to the agency. i think they regard that with some umbrage. with respect to whether or not there is a problem -- that is a difficult one to parse out. that is why nasa has been called in -- why they will continue to look at other experts in the electronics field and try to figure out what is going on. i am relatively certain it will result in some design changes and some software issues and hardware issues, but we do not know what those are yet. >> what do you mean by design changes? >> this has been a traumatic thing for this car maker. the other car makers are looking closely at what is going on. the mere fact that this is causing such a tumultuous reaction around the world will cause them to improve the systems in whatever way they can. i have no knowledge about how they are going to do that. it may be proprietary. i'm sure there will be improvement as a result. >> first off, they are not going to apologize to toyota. the fine is for not giving u

they have been brought into these organizations through effective propaganda, disinform, some of them joined for mercenary reasons, money and so forth. you have a very tiny corp of committed aid logs. most of them are using it or brainwashing them to join the organization. i'm talking about people with third and fourth grade education. they kill the mosque head. they tells the family give us your son or we'll kill your whole family. these are the people we are interrogating. once they see we are not part after conspiracy or not there to subgait them, you get all kinds of cooperation. there's no reason to use physical or mental abuse in our experience. it happened though. >> oh, of course it happened. i think it was a breakdown in standards and discipline. >> head on in terms -- >> do you think in the early years after 9/11 that what you just described was weakened in uniform and with civilian. abu ghraib wasn't just an aberration. there was a shift in the way men and women in uniform looked at that. what do you think? >> i don't think so myself. we went to redo all of these events, we

they have been brought into these organizations through effective propaganda disinformation. some joined for money and so forth. you have a very tiny corps of committed idealogs. and they are recruiting and coercing them to join these organizations. i'm talking people with third and fourth education. they kill the and the mosque can and they use the mosque as a recruiting tool. they draw 15 and 16 years old and say give us your son or we will kill your family. so once they see that we are not some part of a zionist crusader conspiracy. that we're not there to subrogate them. once they see they are being treated respectfully you get all kinds of -- you know, cooperation from them. there is no reason to use any kind of -- you know, any kind of physical or mental abuse on them in our experience. >> it happened, though. >> of course it happened. >> do you think in the early years after 9/11 that ethos that you just described was weakened in uniform and certainly with civilian interrogators. that abu ghraib wasn't just, you know, an aberration. that there was a shift in the way me

we have to remember that the enemy is really operating very strongly on this battleground of disinformation and it is in our interest to give the maximum sort of access to the media. we don't lie, the enemy lies, the best way to expose those lies is to give access. >> well, i just want to comment, i happened to be in iraq during the time when our negotiating team was doing some of this with the iraqis on the status of forces agreement. those negotiations were kept secret for obvious reasons, because they were negotiations. and there was no intent to keep that from the american people, we had positions ourselves, iraqis had positions, if we exposed those positions, and what the disagreements were with the iraqis, that would break down what we believed was a relationship that was a political relationship, that was being forged, to come to a common agreement. and get two leaders to agree to it. if you're going to open that up, that would, i think, risk the ability to have common agreement. >> maliki leaked it, he's a politician, he's running for office and he was taking a very strong stand abo

hall meeting, police chief criticized opponents of the law and news media for spreading fear and disinformationcement officer, i'd like to say to trust us, we will do what we're expected and able to do. we have no interest in violating the law that has been brought to us. >> reporter: arizona's u.s. senator john mccain did not take a position on the law but says he understands why it passed. rising violence and crime associated with illegal immigrant and drug smuggling. >> i believe that they acted out of frustration, because the federal government had not complied with its constitutional responsibilities. >> reporter: for those who believe their constitutional rights may be violated, one police chief asked them to report any problems to authorities. >> there's a huge historical context for people treated a serb way by local law enforcement. for those individuals, that's real. we in law enforcement have to understand that when we interact with them. >> reporter: arizona police chiefs say crimes related to illegal immigration are stretching their budgets and manpower to the breaking point. they

what are you trying to spread this disinformation?guest: on and on the strategic arms committee, so i am not very aware of our nuclear triad and submarine capabilities. i am not suggesting that we do not have enough capability to devastate our enemies. i am suggesting that the idea is not to reduce capability so that we can only have so much destruction. the idea is to prevent us from seeing any attack on any country. the caller does not seem to understand that iran is not concerned about our submarines or anything. if they gain this capability, it will create and asymmetric capability for terrorists that will make it harder for us to protect ourselves from. host: an article in "usa today" -- they point out that republicans blocked the appointment of an ambassador. guest: i would combine that with the last question related to israel. israel is the best friend that the u.s. has in the world. they are surrounded by enemies who are dedicated to wiping them off the map. israel has no room for error. consequently, they had done the things

the and ministration claims this information could compromise -- the administration claims disinformationould compromise the future of major hassan. we strenuously -- disagree. senator collins and i have no intention of the uprising the case. we have pledged to work with the administration to avoid doing just the theory of we have record of conducting many investigations and doing so in an independent manner in accordance with our constitutional authority, and we have always maintain the confidentiality of classified information that comes before us. the argument of providing access to front-line agents will compromise the prosecution of major hassan is without merit and contrary to executive branch president. there are many examples of testimony from fbi agents, even when they might face trial witnesses in on going cases. one recent example is from the inquiry on september 11. staff interviewed several agents involved in investigating and arresting him, even though the joint inquiry the government knew the some of those agents will likely testify a fifth trial the inquiry got the informa
