there is no alternative to gitmo. i go through all of this not to be disagreeable with anyone except just to say that there is an answer and there's only one answer. today we are considering the defense authorization bill. i have an amendment to that bill. i now have just in a matter of three hours, i have 22 cosponsors. this is an amendment number -- i want to get the right number -- 1559. amendment 1559 to the defense authorization bill, senate bill 1390. amendment 1559. this is simple. i like simple bills because they cannot be misunderstood. not like the health insurance billioinsurance bill ofover 1,0s read this is just two pages. that's all. let me tell you what it says: it says the elimination machine-i'm wrongs it's one page. it says this: the amendment intended, introduced by senator inhofe, me, section 1059 "prohibits on transfer the guantanamo agencies, no department or agency of the united states may, one, transfer any detain eve the united states housed at guantanamo bay, in cuba, to any facility in the u

please, don't go back to gitmo. this is a forward-looking question. >> i think with respect to forward-looking to the extent that we need to have long-term law of war detention, that is something i think the president has made clear. he wants very much to work with congress on and if we need it, i think it might be something that we would consider statutory authority for. getting out ahead because right now we're focused on the near term. i don't want to go back to guantanamo. >> so are you planning to proffer that legislative fix that you believe is necessary. we want to be able to make sure the president has the authority he or she ultimately needs to deal with this issue. have you got legislation in mind yet? >> no, i don't think we're there yet. >> just one last thing, mr. chairman, other than public opinion, in terms of -- and then we can talk about gitmo. other than public opinion, what other reasons do we have for closing that facility? will these prisoners be safer somewhere else? will they be better cared f

, why are they closing gitmo?here by saying he's going to close that place down in six months. this was his first executive order. there's still 200 guy there is with no home. so is he going to be able to reach that deadline? >> i don't think so. there will be some excuse for not reaching the deadline. this is a pure example of how politics gets in the way of national security, and politics gets in the way of logical common sense thinking, and for the president to -- stick to this old antiquated left wing notion that we're the bad guys here for setting up gitmo in the first place, no, we were smart in setting up gitmo. that was one of the smartest things that the bush administration had done, and it kept us safe. dave: the president may make another order to delay. that's the right thing to do, right? >> he has a very angry left wing base. they will be infuriated, and they're going to call for blood, his scalp if he doesn't close gitmo. i think he's under an enormous amount of pressure. we're releasing people who

how this could change the close gitmo debate. p shepard: an american soldier is being held captive in and tonight we know which faction of the taliban has him. this is according to a senior defense official. it is the very same group that held a "new york times" reporter for more than seven months. the soldier walked off the base last week for reasons that the military is not talking about. he left behind his weapon and all of his body armor. a posting says that the group had arrested a "drunken american soldier." this is the first time that a u.s. soldier has been captured during this conflict. a series development in that war which is bound to raise questions about how we are handling our military detainees. 8 defense official tells us a former detainee at the military based in guantanamo bay is now back in fighting. -- a defense official tells us a former detainee is now fighting. he is leading an effort against our forces. how do we know this and how do we know this soldier is leading? >> well, what we know about him, we know this from several sources with access to intelligence,

are we looking at the national security of the united states or closing gitmo?t the obama administration is weighing. i hope they realize that the national security needs to trump the desire to get rid of as many detainees as possible to meet a campaign promise. brian: the guys we're talking about with regards to palau, many of them or all these guys are chinese -- they're basically uighurs, right, sort of from the far western side of the country out near the desert, and there's some ethnic violence going on in china right now. >> absolutely. >> that means more countries may not want them, right? >> the uighurs are deemed no threat to the united states but the 97 that would go to yemen, a lot of them have deep ties with al qaeda. why are we hastily looking to shut down a facility that keeps some of the most dangerous terrorists in the world locked up and not able to go back to the battlefield? why would we risk that at any price? brian: pete, that's a good question. thank you so much. >> thanks, brian. brian: everybody, neil will be back tomorrow night, i believ

i've talked about the gitmo, the closing of gitmo, which i think would be -- there is no justificationit whatsoever. but the other one is this largest tax increase in the history of this country. in an interview with michael jackson, the auto nation's c.e.o., he said "we need more expensive gasoline to change consumer behavior." mr. jackson says "otherwise americans will continue to favor big vehicles, not matter what kind of fuel economy standards the government imposes on automakers, $4 he added," he added, "it's a good start." these are people who actually do want to increase the cost of fuel for a, an agenda that is not an agenda that is going to help the environment. alan malal li, ford motor company chief executive said "until the consumer is involved, we're not going to make progress in reducing the amount of oil the united states consumes." so on and on. we have people in, and i plan to spend some time on the floor talking about the problems with this thing, because my fear is if you don't do anything, we're going to end up passing the largest tax increase in the history of ame

a plan that insures federal courts to not release detainees from gitmo into the united states. a clear framework that does not favor prosecuting detainees and federal criminal courts but prosecutes violations of the laws of war and military commissions. a commission system that protect sensitive sources and methods and is tailored for the federal bill. finally, a plan that ensures detainees be transferred or released from u.s. custody and to the return to the battlefield and threaten our forces or citizens. it is the issue transfer and release that is me pause. when i visited gitmo on monday, we were shown a picture of a former detainee that was released because he was compliant and seem to no longer pose a threat. the picture showed him holding a child. it turned the we were wrong. he later blew himself up and killed 20 people in baghdad. we have been wrong 14% of the time. i fear we are getting it wrong in iraq and afghanistan to. just this week, it was reported that detainees released american presence in iraq could have been the ones that carry out and attacked -- an attack

he was held by gitmo and the british demanded him back. although he is not a british citizen but an ethiopian. they demanded him back because he had been a british resident and the illegal justification to have residence in england again. muhammed is not singular they have welcomed any number of alleged jihadist who had a right to reside in england. wilders allowed to roam free. beyond a level tourism and a love-hate speech laws which are used to suppress expression i would suggest there are more subtle and dangerous methods of pressing speech within the framework of warfare. in our own country, we are dealing with a government that has set about accomplishing what i would call a language birch. there's speech guidelines propounded by the state department, department of homeland security and some segments of the intelligence committee which basically counseled people within government not to use terms like jihad, islamofacism jihad, islamofacism, because they are trying to wipe out or bleach out the nexus between islamic doctrine and acts

the difference here between gitmo and interrogation policy and all the other things and scooter libby is that this is clearly very personal for cheney. and he just accused the president of throwing an innocent man under the bus, a man who had served the president honorably and well and there's probably worse things you could say about a person, but not so many. >> why is it so personal for cheney? >> three reasons. one is scooter libby is a close friend of his. and he was a vital advisor to cheney. the next one is that after eight years of working together, dick cheney asked the president for one thing -- if there's any one thing you can do for me as we walk out the door here, i want you to pardon scooter libby. bush said no. and the third reason is -- this is a little tougher one -- scooter libby fell on his sword for cheney. cheney knows that. cheney knew it at the time, and cheney could have stopped it. >> now, i want to talk to you about that. because we all covered and lived through and tried to understand what was going on in the valerie plame case. at the end of that case, the

the obama administration has not ruled out the possibility of transferring some of the gitmo detaineesu.s. prisons, while signaling an intent to bring a second detainee to the u.s. for trial in criminal court. after weeks of political wrangling, the california senate signed off on a deal that closes the state's $26 billion budget gap. the bill is now in the hands of the state assembly where the debate continues. glenn beck returns in a moment. first bret baier has a preview of special report. bret: the president steps back from comments he made and reiterated but did he apologize? that's next on "special report" at the top of the hour. now back to glenn. glenn: hello, america. here is the hot list, some common sense solutions to the stories that the mainstream media is just not doing their job. president obama is apologizing today. he does that very well. people all around the world have seen him do it. it's a command performance. this time, he's apologizing to the policeman he offended at his healthcare press conference, but i'd like to know, is he going to apologize to the doctors he

an executive order closing gitmo. but now he may need more time.e can't pinpoint what constitutes closure. what the heck is going down in cuba? brian? >> he beat her senseless and five months later for the first time chris brown says he's sorry sorry. >> what i did was unacceptable, 100%. i can only ask and pray that y

the wild horse version of gitmo.he pending legislation seeks to remedy the critical aps that are taking place under the wild free roaming horses and burros act of 1971 by invoking a number of commonsense measures. the measure would promote the use of better science to determine whether the amount of range that is available to wild horses is capable of sustaining them. this would be accomplished through maintaining a valid inventory of the wild horse population on the range and the establishment of appropriately scientifically based methodologies to determine management levels. second, the pending bill would increase the amount of range available to wild horses, including through private lands controlled by entities seeking to establish sanction wears. many have heard about the pickens plan. and i'm not talking about the t. boone pickens plan, the one dealing with wind and solar energy. but rather i'm talking about the one advanced by his wife, madeline pickens, to utilize private resources for the establishment of wi

we're live at gitmo with details. plus more bombshells tonight about south carolina's love-struck governor. the evidence as mark sanford is again in the cube. he was missing in action long before he admitted to having that affair with his soulmate in argentina. my grandkids are a great reason for me to keep my bones strong but even with calcium, vitamin d, and exercise, i still got osteoporosis. i never thought i could do more than stop my bone loss. then my doctor told me i could, with once-monthly boniva. boniva works with your body to help stop and reverse bone loss. studies show, after one year on boniva, nine out of ten women stopped and reversed their bone loss. i know i did. (announcer) don't take boniva if you have low blood calcium, severe kidney disease or can't sit or stand for at least one hour. follow dosing instructions carefully. stop taking boniva and tell your doctor if you have difficult or painful swallowing, chest pain or severe or continuing heartburn, as these may be signs of serious upper digest

look forward rather than backward, and he clearly said there was some things going on like closing gitmo and other things that we oughting to do. >> yes. but he tried to keep it to a minimum. he's compromised on certain things such as maintaining military commissions, the prospect of prolonged detention without charges and without trial. those things are still... are still in play and apparently still part of his plan. but i think his overriding priority was not to be the president who who spent his first term investigating his predecessor. and i think there's a real political allergy to the whole idea in the american system of, you know, sort of launching a big investigation into your predecessor. but also from a practical point of view he knows... he may be remembered as the president who did or did not reform health care, he'll never be remembered as the guy who, you know, found out that k.s.m. was waterboarded 183 times under his predecessor. so he wants to get congress focused on his own programs and he's also worried about alienating republicans, some of whose votes he may need on
