. >> seth: you met gadhafi. >> i met gadhafi.g on, the afghanistan war before that, lebanon, the whole arab spring, and then libya. which is one of the -- was, and remains one of the most bizarre places. probably the most strange country i've ever been to. and i met gadhafi. >> seth: he must be the most bizarre people you've ever covered? >> oh, absolutely. gadhafi ran this regime, which was really in his own mind. he had absolute control of the regime. and it was a system he set up based on his own whims in this little book called the green book. and he invented his own system of governance, and you could only use certain kinds of words. no foreign words were allowed. banned. so all the signage in the country was just in arabic, or in other kind of local dialects. and it was -- the system of cars, for example, because he had this idea cars are just modes of transportation so they should be all communal. so if you had a car, you were supposed to leave the doors unlocked and leave the keys in, so that anyone who comes up, they nee

we assumed it was gadhafi because it was the arab spring. how are we getting there?ll you wrchlt's the country? can't tell you. what's the thing? can't tell you. so we assume we would be flying off a navy ship from the mediterranean into libya and then grab gadhafi and bring hem out. they told us a couple of things like we're going to read you in eventually and said names that didn't make sense. we were talking a couple days later about this person, this person, why would they be there? it's been bin laden. they found him. we're going to go get him. >> the cia had been doing extensive surveillance on the mysterious compound and built a scale model that was an exact replica. >> we knew it was going to be a house. we were going to separate into four teams so we were able to get an idea of what the external part of the target looked like. we knew you have part of the exteri exterior. every opening, every garden, every path. how high the walls were. we practiced flying in and assaulting. the plan was to fast roll. we're going to fast roll from dash one, the first relatio

it's only investigated cases in africa among those who have been indicted by the icc, moammar gadhafi. also charged with crimes against humanity but after his capture in libya the authorities there stated their intention to try him themselves. sudan's president is accused over the darfur genocide. little prospect of him traveling to the hague. the collapse of the kenyatta case, it has no power to make them do so. so far there's little april tide for tackling the criticisms leveled against the court much less call its future into question. son yah glaisonia gallago. al jazeera. >>> two weeks ago authorities arrived at this illegally constructed city slum and bulldozed more than 300 homes. like all her neighbors, her family moved here from another state and built a small brick house on this patch of forest. >> translator: i came here to earn money and make a life. we built this house to have a better life. that's why we came to delhi. >> people here admit they don't own this land but they say think cannot afford to live anywhere else. every year people move to cities, looking for jobs a

out of this interview, he is asked whether he is afraid of ending up like saddam hussein or moammar gadhafi. he says the captain does not think about life or death but saving his ship, regardless of what happens. we will never allow her country to become a toy in western hands. >> sounds like an interesting read. on the front page, a familiar face in french politics. he is hell-bent on making a comeback. >> nicholas sarkozy is back on the cover with his wife carla bruni. last weekend he was reelected leader of the ump party. they promise a look behind the scenes of his political comeback. there is a much more stern sarkozy on the front page of another magazine, much more calculating. he has vowed to unify the divided ump party but not many believe him. they say there will be trouble according to "le point." they say there is a vicious ideological more happening behind the scenes. >> someone paying attention to his every move is current president francois hollande. he is getting a lot of attacks from his former girlfriend. >> that's right. in september, she published a book about her time at

gadhafi being gone more dangerous. ambassador was assassinated. the embassy has fled. in egypt we're worst off for a while and still in many ways not at that lot better. syria, i tell people this over and over again i can't find anybody to dispute this on a factual ground. had we bombed assad a year ago isis would be in damascus and isis would be ten times stronger than they are now. doesn't make assad a great guy but assad is a counter balance against isis. >> i agree with you. it's scary. >> three more women who claim bill cosby sexually assaulted them are coming forward going public with their allegations and they are enlisting the help of high-profile attorney gloria allred. all red says one of the women would have testified. she says cosby should waive the statue of limit accelerations for his alleged victims so they can sue him. na for any woman who claims she's a victim bill cosby could agree to waive the statute of limitations and invite the accusers to you see. then bill cosby and his accusers would have an opportunity to go before a judge and jury and everybo

airman who got shot down during the ousting of gadhafi. to support him, he had been opening up an american school or an american speaking school and the ambassador come down to do like a ribbon ceremony in for that individual. >> host: youtube are not on the ambassador's personal team, correct? in fact, did you even see him while he was there? >> guest: he did come by here. the ambassador did come by. he's the ambassador of libya. he came by the day before and had lunch and of course is going to come meet with our chief of base. you'll be with the security team personally, that he will come and give little toxins a great job in what is going on. this is what the state department is doing. it is more of a meet and greet and say thanks guys for assisting us when you need us. it's also a chance for them to come see the facility. >> host: was less a security threat at that time? >> guest: benghazi itself was a lawless city. it was part of a country that had a government, but the only place it had any effective control was in aaa. outside of th

international criminal court says libya violated the obligation to hand over the fugitive son of moammar gadhafiof orchestrating murder and persecution in the 2011 uprising that toppled his father's regime. security council could sanction libya. it is unclear whether the government there has the power to turn him over. since his arrest in 2011, he has been held by a militia that often operates beyond the reach of the libyan government. >>> two remarkable people -- >> i love this story. so uplifting. >> very uplifting. >> this is the nobel peace prize for 2014. ♪ >> you are seeing there malala yousafzai on the left and another man from india, joint recipients of this year's prize on wednesday. both are dedicated to fight ing the suppression of children and young people. >> by the way, the average age of nobel peace prize recipients are 62. malala is 17 years old. she promotes girls' education. the committee says respect for the rights of children and young people is a prerequisite for peaceful, global development. >> our christian amanpour hosted a special with those two winners and she asked wha

allowing the president to do what he wants, from declaring his own war on libya, whatever you think of gadhafihe death of our own ambassador, to now this, to the facade, the charade about we are going to condemn racial profiling but only when we condemn it. it's almost leak they don't know what they're doing. >> the stunning part to me at least is the president is playing politics with race, he's exploiting it and without seeming, as you point out, regard for the country's minorities, for the people who deserve so much better from any president let alone this president. >> you know, one of your prior guests, i think michael goodwin, a dear friend of yours and mine, was saying hillary clinton really needs barack obama's base but he's making it very difficult for her to embrace them, because his behavior is so irrational. >> all we have to do is look at the turnout in the midterm elections. it was absolutely atrocious. >> right. >> as we look at the obama administration trying to exploit race here, aren't there any constraints, any standing? we've got 20 states suing on these issues on amnesty,

there was the bombing of libya with an attempt to kill moammar gadhafi.s the invasion of grenada. there was the reflagging of ships in the gulf, all of which were controversial in the congress. yet he didn't get an authorization. are you saying that any time a president uses force he must first get an affirmative vote from congress? >> if you look at most of our history, and you look at most of the people who looked at our founding fathers, they would say that the commander in chief has the power to repel attack, imminent attack. the thing is this has now been dumbed down to the extent of being almost farcical. i'll give you an example. i had a conversation with the president about a year ago and i repeated back to him what he said in 2007. he said no president should unilaterally go to war without the authority of congress unless they're under imminent attack. i said what happened in libya? he said well benghazi was under threat of imminent attack. and i said, really? you meant by imminent attack, imminent attack of a foreign city would be justification

foley also was freelancing for globalpost when he was held for 44 days by moammar gadhafi's forces inlibya in 2011. during the nearly two years foley was held hostage in syria before he was beheaded, balboni worked with foley's family to secure his release. gary noesner is former chief of the fbi crisis negotiation unit. he is also author of, "stalling for time: my life as an fbi hostage negotiator." and sarah shourd is co-author of the book, "a sliver of light: three americans imprisoned in iran." she was held by iran for 410 days. she was released with the cooperation of another country, among. she is currently a contributing editor at solitary watch, and will be publishing an anthology as well as producing a play based on the nearly 75 oral and written testimonies she's gathered from people who have lived through or are currently in solitary in the united states. she is also a regular contributor to the daily beast. we are going to begin right now with philip balboni, president and ceo of global post. can you talk about the efforts you made working with the foley family to have jam

britain is accused of helping the united states send at least two libyaens back to moammar gadhafi'sya where they awaited torture in libyan jails. also britain is accused of allowing it territory, an island in the indian ocean, to be used as one of these black sites for u.s. interrogation tactics. and of course you mentioned the former polish president. he came out today saying he at one stage did allow the cia to use what he called a quiet corner for operations but denied he knew what was going on there. he then followed it up by saying, maybe we shouldn't talk too much about this because it will make it very difficult for the americans to get intelligence cooperation in the future for these kind of dirty tactics. >> has there been any reactions as far as you can tell, nick, from isis, whether in syria or iraq? >> notably silent. bear in mind, they have their own tactics. so they're probably not going to pick a moment where the u.s. is anticipating a response to make any response. but i think also, too, what's in that report probably doesn't to them change their narrative particular

for example, british involvement in the rendition of two libyan dissidents to colonel gadhafi's libya. they're now redoing their report, but we have yet to see that this is a committee that's really capable of holding the intelligence services to account. >> let me ask you a wider question, which does come out of the debate that's been raging in washington over the last 48 hours. do you believe from your contacts in the intelligence community, and particularly looking at the u.s., that officials today no longer believe that this terrible phrase they used enhanced interrogation tech neeniquetech they no longer believe those techniques work. or are there some who do believe that torture does work, does extract extra information? >> well, if you remember, i started writing about these things more than ten years ago, and we still haven't heard all the answers. there's plenty that hasn't been revealed. they haven't had an inquiry into the rendition of people to places other than the cia's interrogation, places like egypt and morocco. >> you mean not the so-called black sites that the cia w

and found detainees sent to the same site documented in the report in afghanistan handed over to gadhafi his prisons, and they described waterboarding, corroborated by the report. when we asked those people were able to locate and interview, that has the department of justice come i by to ask you questions? they said no, and to this day, no one has interviewed them. >> raises questions. understood. eric holder was on with my colleague joy reid after the report was released yesterday. >> i can't honestly say that crimes were committed. but i will say this, what we saw in the use of these enhanced interrogation techniques was not consistent with who we are, who we say we are as americans. they might have been legal in the strictest sense of the word. but i think in many ways, they were immoral. >> so you have legality, morality, different standards, obviously when you come to the criminal justice system. what are you going to do next. >> i'm a lawyer, no lawyer can read that report and not see a clear case of criminal liability for many people up to the highest levels of the former adminis

momentous changes in the middle east and north africa as king interest in libya was opposed by colonel gadhafi and in response to decline in real oil prices, the major oil-producing countries mounted a unified campaign against the petroleum countries to exert more of the economic grant from the oil production. under two major agreements negotiated in tehran in tripoli, between the national oil companies and opec the opec concern about inflation and a general sense that they were not being treated fairly by the international oil companies demanded a major increase in the price of their oil. after these two agreements can opec was able to introduce an escalation clause in contracts that he believed would protect their members from inflation. this proved not to be the case. but what helped opec was as mr. sieminski note from was the surging demand a worldwide not only in the united states, but in western europe and japan which allowed opec to every time a contract was up for renegotiation, demand further upward priced revisions. mr. chairman, it's worth noting the global market conditions in the

but many of the after effects of that, the genesis of it was really under gadhafi. so we're fronted with a number of fractured states in the region. i raek, syria, yemen, where we have the hollowing out of security structures, we don't have sufficient partners, we don't know how to operate in those environments so it's natural that we're trying to deal with nonstate actors, tribes, militias and the question is what are the future contours of these states going to look like? i think it's a fractured security environment, where you have very hollow, state institutions, working longside paramilitary. how does the u.s. as a state power that is used to dealing with ministries of defense, ministries of the interior, how does it assert itself into those very fractured states? i completely agree with much of what was said here about the sli, the corruption of many of our allies and the fact that we're working through centralized regimes that are in fact fuelling the extremism that they purport to be fighting and this is a problem that's not going to go away. we often hear i

gadhafi dead. another enemy of the united states for many, many years.t was an absolute train wreck. we always thought it was a choice between tyrants and jeffersonian democracy. what we're finding in the middle east is it's a choice between secular tyrants for the most part and islamic radicals. >> throughout the world and it's our history for many, many years, not just recently we have backed in terms of character the wrong people because they are for stability of the countries that they rule and it's only recently that we decided that character was so offensive and the idea they couldn't make their country safe for coca-cola or league of women voters things we can export that we had to change horse. it's turned out disastrously. >> somebody said in these countries you need a dictator that would kill his father and his son and if you don't have that guy at the helm all hell breaks loose. >> all right. mika, you want to get individual offted cruz. do we have to? >> okay. we're going to do dj first. >> i'll do that in a second. >> cruz upsets my digestiv

early '70s saw momentous changes in the middle east and north africa as king hidris was deposed by gadhafiand the major oil producing companies mounted a unified campaign against the petroleum companies to extract more of the economic rent from their oil production. under two major agreements negotiated in tehran and tripoli between the international oil companies and opec, the opec concerned about inflation and a general sense that they were not being treated fairly by the international oil companies, demanded a major increase in the price of their oil. after these two agreements, opec was able to introduce an escalation clause in its contracts that it believed would protect their members from inflation. this proved, however, not to be the case, but what helped opec was, as mr. shimensky noted, was the surging demand worldwide not only in the united states but in western europe and japan, which allowed opec to every time a contract was up for renegotiation demand further upward price revisions. mr. chairman, it's worth noting that the global market conditions in the early '70s could not h
