thank you very much, president knapp, and thank you to everyone here at george washington university.hank you to all the students and everyone else who has come here today. we are delighted to see you all. and also thank you, secretary paulson, for coming. and having this conversation with us. let's get right to it. the conversation today, of course, is about china and the united states relationship with china. as president knapp suggested, hank is uniquely qualified to discuss this given his role in government at goldman sachs and the nonprofit world. each one of those roles is salient in a unique way to what is going on in china and the relationship, the u.s.-china relationship. i think you will see that. let's get right to maybe the most important topic with regard to china right now, mr. secretary, the changeover in leadership. i know you have said the good news is that president xi jinping is a strong leader. the bad news is that he has to be one. i wonder if you can explain exactly what you mean by that. >> yes. andy, and let me also say, it is good to be back in washington. if

so congratulations for doing this here at george washington university. today's panel is something we're very interested in the whole idea of student debt hat gotten great press over the last year. just because of the magnitude of it. but we also think there's some very critical underlying questions that hopefully they panel can get at today. issues like what is the difficulty in finding jobs? how is that affecting graduating students? the issue of for-profit schools and how that has skewed the numbers, and possibly the biggest single issue we're concerned about is not the student who graduates with $27,000 in debt, but the student who doesn't graduate and still has the debt. so some very, very significant meaty issues to talk about and luckily you have an outstanding final do it. our moderator is kathy christoph, well known to all of you as an author, a columnist, and a past president of sabu. so, kathy, it's your show.

and frank silufo, director of the homeland security policy institute at george washington university.afternoon, to both of you. mike, as the investigations continue both here and oversea, we understand that investigators are confident these brothers acted alone. even as their family members express utter bafflement. what are we learning about the larger case against these suspects? >> reporter: well first of all, this is looking, martin, more and more like a case of self-radicalization. now, nothing is conclusive and, you know, we're far from the end of this investigation right now. >> of course. of course. >> reporter: but the preliminary indicators, first, you have tsarnaev saying the two acted alone. number two, that preliminary review of cell phones and e-mails do seem to show no indication of accomplices, no contact with outsiders prior running up to the plot. third, the no claims of responsibility by any outside terrorist groups. and, in fact, in some cases denials of any responsibility. of any connection. while that's far from conclusive, it's an indicator because often if a te

crowley, former assistant secretary of state under president obama and also a professor at george washington university. pj crowley, are we heading to any kind of nuclear conflict with north korea here? >> i really don't think so. the bottom line is, north korea is crazy but they're not suicidal. the kim family business, they want that to continue. the kim family reign, they want to continue. so they'll make a lot of noise. but i don't think that they're going to jump off the cliff. >> we're seeing that the u.s. has been sending a missile defense system to guam. clearly some military activity. at what point should the united states consider some kind of military attack, all be it from a defensist standpoint if we can't put up with these saber rattling threats any longer? >> we need to be careful there. the last time the united states went across the 38th parallel during the korean war it didn't work well for us. china didn't particularly like that action. i mean, really, if we thought they really were at the point where they were going to fire a missile at us and had some prospect of hitting the united

us to discuss from washington is former assistant secretary of state and professor at george washington universityrowley. professor, thank you for joining us. >> hello. >> pj as we talk about the legacy of the obama doctrine, vis-a-vis our war on terrorists drones. the attacks were motivated to do what they did by the wars in iraq and afghanistan. i'll quote a little bit from that story. the 19-year-old suspect in the boston marathon bombings has told interrogators that the american wars in iraq and afghanistan, motivated he and his brother to carry out the attack. what do you make of that, pj? >> i'm not surprised at all that has been a motivator for jihadists around the world, particularly the u.s. invasion of iraq in 2003. so this just continues a theme, and it's not even unique to the united states. faisal shazad, the times square bomber, said he was motivated by the ongoing drone campaign in pakistan. >> wes, as someone who has seen combat, we're having our first hearing on drone strikes, which is interesting given how long we've been using them as a terrorism measure. generally stanley mcchr

crowley, fo now a professor at george washington university.ere in new york, jonathan alter for "the bloomberg news." the nuclear plant that today announced its ground re-opening. what possible purpose would there be for reactivating that plant aside from developing a nuclear weapon? >> well, the other factor would be it's putting back on the table an operation for which it had been rewarded in the past. the moth balling, as you say, of yeongbeyong came as the united states under the bush administration took north korea off the terrorism list. so putting this plant back in play in the north korean psychology, you know, would be saying, well maybe they'll come back and offer something to turn it off again. i think we should be cautious about that. obviously former secretary of defense bob gates famously said we shouldn't buy the same horse more than once. >> indeed. john, is it possible that any of this nuclear weaponry could escape from north korea, perhaps to iran? a recent piece in the "wall street journal" observed, and i'm quoting, "north k

also joining us, frank solufo, associate vice president of george washington university and director of gw's homeland security policy institute. good afternoon, gentlemen. frank, the stage for today's dramatic events was set monday on boylston street in boston. but the roots of this story may possibly go back all the way to the other side of the globe to chechnya. now, authorities say the two suspects in this case traced their origins back to this land in southern russia which has been involved in a violent rebellion against the government in moscow, what, for many years, hasn't it? >> absolutely. i mean, as we've heard throughout the day, there are a lot of unknowns at this point, but there are some knowns. i mean, we do know the fact chechnya has been a cauldron of islamist and jihadi activity for quite some time. we know they've been involved in a separatist movement to try to gain independence from russia since the early '90s and been engaged in heinous terrorist activities including the killing of numerous children in the beslan attack. we also know some in chechnya have ascribe

>> guest: tammy hayes at george washington university atteberry borough assessment of local media coveragef races in 2010 because there's this at all to my the coverage of women focuses more on fantasy and integrity, women are perceived as leaders are competent people and there's the tracy won any politician. so if there is this worth it negative coverage served and on my own experience i didn't feel that way. more than i deserve a small states. i felt like it was not gendered at all. so we undertook the analysis were not the reading and coding and systematically looking at 5000 newspaper articles from all the races in 2010. the bad news is not that women and men are the same way because it's good coverage, but the overall amount of coverage has gotten more superficial. men are now covered regarding their appearance. nobody beyond chris christie were paul ryan spent a lot of time talking about their weight or exercise regime. although that might level the playing field because it's not just women who talk about these things, and maybe at the expense of coverage. poster would advise that yo

george washington. one of the many things logan's book does in wonderful detail, it really does give you an idea, not just of the fact that george washington was universallyexclaimed, but some of the reasons he was reasonable -- admired. he was not a successful general at any point in his career. he was not an attention grabber. he was not a self publisher. partly because of, he became this universally admired figure and is really a model for commander in chief cause. so i think it's an extraordinarily relevant both as constitutional matter and thinking about either the original meaning or the ongoing meaning of the commander-in-chief clause to know something about the experience that actually produced this clause. and then i think as everybody expected her to washington to be than the first president in the first commander-in-chief under article ii of section two of the constitution. now, i think there are come you have to read the book to get the full flavor of this that logan has given you this wonderful story about the court-martial and the military commissions. i think here are three things that occurred in the book, and the book does have bearing, a
