dr. fisher) no, you've improved remarkably. your function has gone from 25% (grace anne) yes, and no one knows why. (dr. fisher) to 68%. you can do much more than stabilize copd. people can lead full lives with copd. (grace anne) yes. (dr. fisher) and that's an important message. and it's not just stabilization and symptom reduction. even short of a cure, people can live good lives with copd. (grace anne) yes. (dr. fisher) the other thing we absolutely have to trash is the notion of blaming people with copd. (grace anne) yes. (dr. fisher) for the fact that they smoke. they smoke because cigarettes are addictive. because they're heavily marketed. because they've been normative. the army used to give it to people in the army as part of their privileges of being a soldier, for goodness sakes. so that's why people smoke. they don't smoke because of character flaw. they don't get copd because of character flaw. we just need to take that off the table and move on. (peter) well i want to thank all of you for being here, especially you

dr. fisher ended up being the main casualty of the raid, a enhe was hit by mortar fire and was -- didn't die immediately, but took 24 hours. he was an amazing guy, harvard educated guy, very important for him to be just one of the guys, and to be right there with his men. he didn't have to be there. he chose to be there, and at the point of greatest danger, and he paid the ultimate price. c-span: you say in the notes that vivian, his niece, was a help to you on this. how did she help you? >> guest: she had all the family's papers. what's interesting is his mother was a famous writer of the day and famous editor part of the book of the month club, dorothy canfield fisher, who was studious in keeping all letters she received after her son died from all the rangers, from the doctors who operated on him, from filipino guerrillas with him in the last hours, and there were photographs and letters from colonel and what a wonderful man he was, and all assembled in one place, and she was just kind and generous to let me take a look at that stuff, and then, ultimately, all the papers went to the u

dr. fisher now.talk about the psychology of this. you are in the deliberation room, and you have only been with them for weeks on end because they were sequestered and talk about the dynamics of that and how this plays into it. >> there is a phenomenal that occurs called group think, when you have jurors together it's called juror think, and when you have people together and they are supposed to make a common decision, they can often begin to think alike. the thoughts or belief systems of the individual can be lost. in this situation there was a great deal of pressure on them to make a decision that was the right decision, and in group think there is a tendency for people to take a moral ground that sometimes isn't necessarily based in total truth, and it could be based on emotions. factors that contribute to this could be the strength of the jury foreman or other people in the jury with strong personalities and not wanting to be the only person dissenting and there could be group pressure to conform

dr. fisher, tell us about some of the psychological issues, ptsd. >> in any situation we have something beyondraumatic stress disorder. you can have symptoms from six months to years later. and what sets them off might be triggers. and when people see these he wants on the news it could be difficult. one thing that's coming to mind to me is the core spoent at sandy hook day and today's tragedy. it's a tragedy that some parents could be reminded of their tragedy going back to major newtown events. >> so the newtown victims could retraumatized from this? >> it's the events that went on. and all it takes is a trigger to prompt somebody who might have signs and disturbing emotions or recurrent thoughts. this kind of says, why bother, there's always going to be a tragedy and there's always going to be something. people with ptsd are waiting for the next shoe to drop and weighing for something bad to happen in their life and it reinforces that belief that i have to be ready for trauma. >> i think the randomness of it, that that's part of impact. no one thinks that this is going to happen when they g

dr. kathleen fisher, program manager for doppler darpa part of the department of defense admitted that they can control everything from which -- whether the -- what the radio is playing or whether the brakes work. it is relatively easy way to hack into the control system of a car and to do things like cause acceleration when the driver doesn't want acceleration throw on the brakes when the driver doesn't want the brakes or launching the airbag. highly destructive things can be done through hacking a car and it is not that hard. >> stephanie: wow, there is a new excuse for the cops. >> he was careful not to hack michael hastings car. he was about to release a bunch of wikileaks information. so if there were a cyber attack on the car i'm not saying there was, whoever did it would get away with it. i'm not a conspiracy guy. i spend most of my life knock down conspirator theories but you don't knock it down until you can prove it wrong. the case of michael hastings, it is consistent with a car's cyber attack. the problem is you can't prove it. i saw footage of his car going through the red lig

global companies were allegedly targeted by the man including dr blue airways and the french of careful. after the break and he's so fisher right now that talks to the developer of the digital currency basically. boy oh boy there are a lot of conspiracy theories out there for a mysterious extra player that's drip killian creatures living among us but there are also many conspiracy theories that are very plausible and some that are well actually true one that i've heard for a long time is that they are specifically trying to fool the police with dimwits to abuse the american people. which is silly right rights according to a.b.c. news the discrimination lawsuit revealed that robert jordan was denied the chance to become a new london police officer because he was too smart his entrance exam score was a thirty three which is an i.q. of one hundred twenty five and it was just too high to allow him to defend the public good that police department only accepts candidates who have scores from twenty to twenty seven the logic is that people who are too smart get bored as policemen and they're more likely to quit after years of co
