fort point is a replica of that famous garrison built to protect the fort from confederacy fighters. in 1981, george watson gave us this look at four point and the army's presidio as the army prepared to hand it over to the parks service. >> reporter: they didn't actually involve the presidio itself. the main coastal defense was entrusted to fort point. the base of the cliff that used to support the old spanish fort. it was thought to be in the verge of seizing the fort from the rest of the united states. that was the thinking in 1961. fort point was reassuring and at the same time no doubt impressing. but alcatraz was designed to throw fear into the heart of any enmy. it was thought to be enpregnable. it was the hub of the san francisco bay. 1861 to 1865. alcatraz was the most armed with cannons. alcatraz was known then as the triangle of death. one point of the triangle guarding the bay. alcatraz was the strong point, for symmetrical as well as armed reasons. it was obsolete before it was completed. any ironclad ship could have reduced the fortifications to rubble. and as for the g

. >> also ahead, an interview with lane garrison. he starred on "prison break" and then was sent to prison for real after he was involved in a fatal car accident. he'll share a cautionary tale today. >> and we head to london where the countdown continues to the royal wedding. the question remains -- which designer whether kate middleton select for her wedding gown? will she go for a lesser known designerer or a bigger label? >> this is what people are talking about. we begin with the tornadoes that battered nebraska and other -- north carolina and other states over the weekend. kerry sanders, good morning to you. >>> good morning. for the destruction, death and sorrow there is also cause for celebration. the home behind me, with a direct hit there, nine people who saw the tornado rushed into the house and they all survived. remarkable story of folks able to get through all this a short distance away while others unfortunately did not make it. the early estimate, believed to be an ef-3 meaning the winds in the tornado were up to 165 m

the garrison of such fortifications could defend independently each holding out for two months of the most vulnerable parts of the fortification where the enemy could dig underneath the buildings dog with a known as council mind galleries these are the deepest underground votes of the fortress. we visited soldiers would see. that and listening to what was happening on the other sign if they heard someone digging underneath the force these were extended that way everything would collapse because of the explosion rendering this part of the fortress impenetrable to the enemy. catacombs counted on the ground in all directions and the exact opposite of the straight cemented tunnels of. the soft calculus rock allowed the address of mine is to extract stone anywhere new mines are connected to the only ones creating a complicated network of underground passages but the. soul was found in this because of the cancer cures. it still works well it can be used. when you can see how it cuts through limestone you can see how taurus it is. until the one nine hundred seventy s. stone was extracted man

no clue some team has been to the garrison often return to how do crafts have become a major industry. now on team goes to form a top secret military stronghold. which today has unlimited possibilities for extreme sports. with the most secretive down masks seal has been discovered. and the real soviet feat died as much as a may. well come from the chelyabinsk region. russia close up on t.v. disarming saddam hussein. passed maturity of iraqi citizens. this of it brings further assurance at the torture chambers and the secret police are gone forever. if you guys again over embassy in kabul. cherish too much occupied afghanistan. now occupy sales at guantanamo bay. get it better. it is appropriate to do it in the course as much as we can with the geneva convention face lab study stuff if you can shoot him enough so that it shocks especially if it gets stuck but you don't actually break any bones could deter addition take place that we use in jay-jay kuantan are approved by the senior leadership of our god that. we will be adjusting to. believe transference. as. for. the. song from. me. i

on the table when the georgian president launched his dad lee campaign or when israel bombed the garrison for three weeks in a row on the question for example of gaza where you had a blatant act of aggression clearly a violent massive violation of not only international human rights norms but work crimes crimes against humanity being created fourteen hundred people killed of whom more than nine hundred were civilians more than three hundred were children it was a horrific situation that went on for days the problem there is that israel is the protector protectorate of the united states and the u.s. is not going to allow anyone the united nations or anyone else to actually engage in a serious way in stopping that massacre you would think if a leader commits atrocities he would be pretty like they could there have been denounced banned from travel by this result that's not the way politics works the georgian president killed scores of civilians but was exonerated by the west politicians accept him as a friend business leaders are looking for the best in his country and it seems the white ho

consult with us here are a few are henry kissinger ok i mean that's what a lot of other people larry garrison ger ok but still in this case sadly i mean that when the prize was given to obama americans were surprised and shocked what do you think about that john do you think that we are seeing premature do you think that it was do you think it has the same value now as it does back in two thousand and nine go ahead. yes yes i do because it has been tainted in the past and also let me just point out that obama inspired the world just by getting elected i know he's got a lot of detractors now especially my part of the country but he did inspire the world just getting elected prevented a person who was singing bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb iran and pointing to one hundred years of possible warfare in iraq. point of fact is obama's put fewer boots on the ground than nearly any of our recent presidents now now he might who knows that could change because there is a lot of turmoil in the world but i don't think you can fault him for acting in libya there's a cost in violence a cost in human lives to not

the confederate assault on fort sumpter lasted about 34 hours before the union garrison surrendered.as lost during the bombardment but by war's end, four years later, more than 600,000 would be dead. when president franklin roosevelt decided to run for a fourth term at the height of world war ii, his doctors said his health was good-- but they knew better. >> what is the job before us in 1944? first: to win the war. >> couric: in a fascinating memo just made public, a boston doctor who examined roosevelt in 1944 said he didn't believe roosevelt had the physical capacity to complete another term. dr. frank lahey said he informed roosevelt's primary doctor of his concerns but voters were kept in the dark. >> and will to the best of my ability... >> couric: just 12 weeks after f.d.r. began his fourth term he died of a cerebral hemorrhage 66 years ago today. today. osteoporosis treatment-- no big deal. so i have to wait up to an hour just to eat or drink. i've got time to kill. yeah right! i'm a working woman. and i'm busy. why should osteoporosis therapy disrupt my morning routine? with

streets you sound so negative today though about this and down down on your country men well i'll tell garrison all we're looking forward to look into the long view tell us about that. well i'll give you some love the police that actually came to arrest me the detectives that interviewed me they were very polite very fair they treated me with utmost respect i think what happened with me the pre-crime arrest of the other one hundred people is a massive public relations victory for the resistance because an old a middle class media old the kind of nice high class newspapers and on the b.b.c. people are getting very agitated about this state is coming after peaceful people now and this helps wake up the masses that perhaps the state is trying to hide something of it trying to maybe sell on the agenda so the rest slight nine yesterday i feel very positive about that and it helps me spread my message it's brought me an extra one thousand subscribers overnight that is now in household name in great britain so thank you media i suppose congratulations on the boon that this has for your activism becaus

that i found very interesting also is that tenet colonel dahlan don hilton excuse me who is the garrison commander at fort leavenworth said that she's invited the media to visit this facility to see how quote wonderful it is now that she's inviting the media do you think that also means that people like dennis kucinich like amnesty international like the u.n. officials who've been trying to visit bradley manning are finally going to get some access to him. well this is a lovely new facility just opened up it's got lots of geothermal your conditioning and heating so it's a green building and you know i think of course you know it's got to salute the u.n. and there's a gator and mr international are really good ones and i think there will be a key test if we see the u.n. investigators torture going to visit we will probably be happy to know that barely means being treated well because only you know the u.n. investigators are still free men who were in quantico they were obviously hiding something quantico what they were doing could not stay in the light of day allowing a congressman who sa

impact, commanders have discretion to use computer-based training or schedule training upon return to garrisonas training progresses, we will continue to report completion data to osd twice a month. in the post repeal environment, we will continue to monitor the effectiveness of our training through existing processes for follow-on assessment in monitoring. mr. chairman and members of the committee, we thank you again for your support of the armed forces. the standards of conduct we expect, you expect of all airmen entitling every airman to dignity, respect and equal opportunity, commitment to service above self will not change, guided by our core values of integrity, service and excellence, we will implement this policy change with the same professionalism that we demonstrate in all of our daily endeavors. mr. chairman, i look forward to your questions. thank you. >> thank you. thanks to each of you. the law was passed. you understand the relationship between military and civilian law. you're doing your best to see that the law is implemented and followed correctly. i would have expected noth

he set up a camp outside the soviet garrison to attract enemy fire which was a strange thing to do from a military perspective but this is a guy who wanted to die--who wanted to martyr themselves in a fight against the soviets. in 1997 i produced a television interview with ben watson in which he declared war against the united states for the first time to a western audience. who are you trying to attack? he said essentially american military targets but if american civilians get in a way that is their problem. overtime he would expand potential targets just as eisenhower expanded universe of potential targets in world war ii to include civilians. and she wore a wet -- osama bin laden was declaring was not noticed by most people in the u.s. government and one of the problems we have on 9/11 is few people had taken this guy seriously even though 1937 the japanese high command said repeatedly they were planning to attack the american homeland at pearl harbor. might have turned out differently on september -- december 7th, 1941. we were warned but the warnings were not heeded and similarly

other occasions the french garrison, failing in indochina, strong pressure on weapons as necessary, when the chinese advanced on taiwan by attacking two remote islands off of the main island of taiwan and the joint chiefs looked before him of plan that should the chinese put soldiers on or even imminently threatened the island that they would use nuclear weapons during a meet suez crisis. the idea of using nuclear weapons, this occurred over and over. in the latter half of the latter years of the administration the administration became increasingly clear about whether the soviets were approaching terror in nuclear-weapons but that was a lot of conversation in early years. >> maybe you would like to talk a little bit about the article that was an amazing discovery of the way you described it. >> it is a reminder, historical research, happened to be at the eisenhower library that are lost in the early years. they are out on the loading deck, it turned out the personal papers of malcolm moose which was one of eisenhower's speechriders who unbeknownst to anyone left the administration with

so, too, a 1,000-strong garrison of french troops-- france is still ivory coast's main trading partnerey were offering shelter to 500 foreign residents, they said. tonight, the country's borders are closed. the african union has called upon laurent gbagbo to hand over power immediately. a gbagbo spokesman has said, reportedly, that surrender is out of the question. >> sreenivasan: in washington, a state department spokesman also urged gbagbo to give up his bid to stay in power and "read the writing on the wall". president obama signaled today a congressional compromise over the budget may be near. democrats and republicans have been discussing cuts in the range of $33 billion. but the president said the possibility of a government shutdown still loomed if congress cannot reach agreement. >> they're going have to figure this out. bo sides are close, though. and we know a compromise is within reach. and we also know that we can't afford not to have congress work out these budgets and make sure that we're investing in the right things. if these budget negotiations break down, we could end

lou garrison who's a professor in pharmaceutical outcomes research and policy in the department of pharmacyand an adjunct professor in the departments of global health and health services at the university of washington. and sean tunis who's the founder and director for the medical technology policy. so as we've done in the last panel, i'll ask people with me on stage to make a few opening comments and then we're going to turn this into a discussion about these issues related to measuring value in medical innovation. so let me start with uday. when you founded irhythm technology, uday, i know your explicit goal was to develop medical technologies that not just improved health but also saved money and the explicit goal in process to be able to measure how that was occurring. so maybe you can tell us about that experience and the implications for what we're talking about today. >> great, thanks for having me. i think as a representative of startup, as a founder of startup i think the challenges from startup companies are more challenges than larger companies. so if you're a patient who might

william lloyd garrison burned the constitution because of it clauses protecting the institution of slavery. lincoln revered the constitution. he believed, as many people did and do, that the united states had this mission to exemplify the superiority of free institutions to the whole world, the principle of self-government. remember, what he said in the gettysburg address, the war was about, government of the people, by the people, for the people, etc. eleven con was not, to be sure, a believer in manifest destiny, the idea that the united states just has this god-given right to expand to -- and he was not a believer in the idea that the way to spread democracy was just to invade other countries and bring them democracy, whatever they felt about it. lincoln believed that the mission of the united states was to be pursued by example. if we perfect our own society, we will demonstrate to the world the value of our institutions. but the point is the u.s. does have this democratic mission, and slavery on the one hand compromises it. slavery makes the united states appear hypocritical because w

this is not chasing soviet forces there germany to determine which tanks are in or out of the garrisons. this is tracking a very specific key man being which makes it absolutely optimal for the current war. with that said, absolutely optimal for the current war, let me tell you something that i believe is a truism in intelligence processes. the future is never a straight line from the past. this thing is going to bob and weave and duck in turn -- and turned. it would be wrong to extrapolate in the the future as a straight line our experiences of the last four or five years. there are going to be some turning points out there that will cause that line to ben. let me suggest -- to bend. but he suggests some of the pressure points that as we look at into the future of this kind of air power. number one, from athletics, you are never as good as you look when you are winning. you are never really that good. keep in mind, it is hard to imagine a better environment for these platforms than the ones in which we are operating today. it is permissive in every dimension. it is permissive fiscally,

why are the churches of marvin garrison and martin luther king and the prerevolutionary church wherewe have integrated congregations? yet, people -- they say well, the most segregated hour of the week. look, you had integrated congregations before the revolution of the country and i think some of the white preachers are afraid the black preachers are going to take their congregation. reverend jackson, they can preach, you know? i would not discount the teachings of jesus of nazareth have been influenced and maybe the organized church we had problems with that. i don't think you can say that a man who was a little more than a peasant -- well, he was a carpenter could have this much influence over millions of people. you cannot say that have influence. >> host: ishmael reed, why did you write "airing dirty laundry." >> guest: because i found a lot of fibs being told about african-american experience. that we african-americans get defined by -- first of all, they don't have the means to fight back. so up on the upper west side, they might have several parties where they talk about wheth
