to set up an inquiry into echelon. today we address 500 million citizens. we are failing the european citizens at a time when trust in the european union is at an all-time low. we should be ashamed of ourselves. and then to the subject matter itself. first of all, we have to be very surprised to find that the americans are spying on us because we knew about it. we have been asking questions again and again and again but asking questions to the commission is like talking to a wall. i have a long list of long answers about fisa, but the patriot that and about the application of u.s. law and we get no answers from the european commission. the member states because there's a national debate about the same issue everywhere now, mrs. merkel we are asking the air americans for an explanation. all the member states including the u.k. and any member state, the member states are speaking doublespeak to the citizens. are we surprised that they are losing trust and actually you can say the citizens don't trust their governments an

that's part of the resume that you need to have to get to the upper echelons of the military.ticular has said by allowing women into the elite levels of the military, it opens more doors to them in terms of ascension in the ranks. >> that's exactly right. there's not a large group of blood thirsty women who are eager to grab up a car bomb and r and run into battle. the problem is that even men can be passed over for better jobs or promotions if the person they're competing with has had had a combat deployment. so if you don't get a combat deployment, it is not necessarily a mark against you but it can work against new that promotion scheme. and to follow up on this question about training, we went out to ft. leonard wood to the army sapper combat training course, one of the toughest combat training courses in the u.s. military and we watched two women over 28 days best some 18, 20 men and pass the course because they were prepared, they were ready, they had not only the physical but the mental stamina to do it. and their remarks -- they weren't out there trying to be trailblaz

there was the echelon debate in 1990's for the european suddenly became excited because they thought there was a global system to collect traffic. they did a big investigation on the european commission. they concluded it is really not so bad as we think. i think that is where we will end up here. there are trade-offs that we need to debate. more transparency would be useful but we need the collection capability. were going towe fight all night. to go there is a legitimate problem you're identified. you had an intelligence legal framework in which you could spy on the back as overseas, and you could get warrants to spy on known bad guys, but when you got to the scene, which is what you care a lot about, you had barriers that order to get through. but what you've just described is not really what the programs we're learning about now are doing. if you pick up pocket witter in afghanistan and it has a 35 phone numbers and 17 e-mail is where you can go out and get individual warrants by going to the court in saying this was in so and so's pocket. you can do that. thehave to show only th

by allowing women that combat experience, it opens the upper echelons to greater female participationdo you agree with that? give us a sense of what the combat experience is like in terms of expanding one's portfolio, if you will? >> there's two things going on. any time that we as a nation have dropped our restrictions and allow people to serve based on their performance and abilities, whether it was japanese americans and african-americans in world war ii or women in combat, we've benefited as a nation. this is a good thing because they have a better pool, a bigger pool of people who want to do this. it's going to help women in the services. it's not just combat time. it's command time of a combat unit, alex. it's being a battalion commander of a combat unit, brigade commander, division commander. you won't get command of a division like the first armored division, first infantry division unless you have command time as a brigade commander. right now the only ones who can do that are the ones in aviation or some in air defense artillery. you've left out all these women. if you don't
