and on gitmo, it's kind of hard to swallow how vitriolic the press and the left was about gitmo in thetion. now you do not have a thing from them. now we have the upgrade. i understand the soccer field. they need to get out aggression. flat screen tv. you buy a new tv, that's the kind you have to have. i don't nigh why they need more than one. but enriching life classes for detainees? what would you possibly teach in that class? >> greg: why not stop blowing people up? that is the first class you take. >> eric: 101. >> greg: yeah. the first one. this is where in me opinion flip flopping awesome. the ryionny of the administration, president obama's greatest achievement is a continue situation of bush terror policies with drones, and with gitmo. he should make bush secretary of state or v.p. he might get re-elected. >> eric: i'm sure there is pictures of -- >> kimberly: bob checked out. you see this? >> eric: that is why i'm not going to him. >> bob: i don't care. >> eric: kimberly, do we really need to spend millions on millions of bucks to make terrorist' lives enriched in prison? >> k

why is gitmo still here? >> as far as being able to close down the operation, i can do that in a couple months with the building and people. we have removed these belligerents from the battlefield and our job is to detain them, and we do that very well. >> there's still the problem of what to do with the remaining detainees, many of whom were deemed eligible for release, only there's no country willing or able to take them. so for the foreseeable future, gitmo and its growing costs are here to stay. michael isikoff. nbc news, guantanamo bay, cuba. >> still ahead here as we continue along the way, are c.a.t. scans putting kids at risk for cancer later in life? our reality check tonight on new research on the risks. >>> and later on, a remarkable second chance to chase a dream. >>> you might have seen the story today about children and c.a.t. scans and the risk of radiation exposure in high doses. it turns out the link to potential future cancers is stronger than we may first have thought. our report tonight fr

him from closing gitmo. another sort of -- that's a very powerful check on the presidency, whatever you think of it. most of the book is a rich description of how this works with some characters that are a little bit below the radar screen and trying to describe how this process works. my normative take, and i'll close with this, my normative take on the book is a little complicated, sorry, on these issues is a little complicated. basically say what i describe is vindicated the basic system of checks and balances that the framers established. indicated the basic framework of checks and balances that the framers established, they're not in the way they would have wanted. but as arthur schlessinger said, the main criterium is self-correction. and we've had a series of self-corrections from a very disruptive event in 2001 to where we're in a position in 2012 where there's a remarkable legal and political consensus in this country in favor of what president obama is doing. that is a carryover of the process unde

so rather than sending prisoners to gitmo, he is taking the high road by sending them to their maker. as "the new york times" puts it, mr. obama has avoided the complication of detention by deciding to take no prisoners alive. it's brilliant. he doesn't have to worry about habeas corpus because after a drone strike, sometimes you can't even find the corpus. (laughter) the only problem is, the only problem is, folks, occasionally our drones quill civilians. but you know what they say? to make an omelet, you got to kill a few civilians. (laughter) unfortunately, killing civilians hurts americans moral standing. but the administration has a solution, and it's the isn't of tonight's word. (cheers and applause) two birds with one drone. folks, to make sure only terrorists are killed, the white house has sent rigorous standards for without gets targeted. as counterterrorism advisor john brennan explained we only authorize a particular operation against a specific individual if we have a high degree of confidence that the individual being targeted is indeed the terrorist we are pursuing. thi

the president did not want to continue bringing people to gitmo. he wanted to figure out some sort of a new detention regime, and maybe bring them to the united states, and you know, that became much more complicated than he anticipated, and so if you can't figure out that detention riddle and you still need to protect the country against terrorists, well, it does become easier to kill them than to capture them and i have to say, for the most part, these terrorists can't be captured. you can't go into pakistan, we can't put boots on the ground there and capture terrorists. we can't. it's too dangerous or the host countries are unwilling to let americans go into somalia and drones have become a very, very useful weapon. megyn: you talk about how some of these decisions, once he got into office, when it comes to terror and so on, politics has seeped in, as is probably the case for any president we're going to have from this point forward. it's both a national security issue and to some extent, a political issue, especially in an election year. but wh

he was against enhanced interrogations, gitmo, attacks.t we're seeing is that the white house has a duplicitous strategy and they want to tell the base that they're ending the war. but them want to selectively put out information that says we're not ending the war. i think hopefully i think the liberals are getting wind of the fact that they can't trust him. one group that absolutely realizes that they can't trust this president, and it's our allies. they're very confused as to what the strategy is if there is a strategy, but clearly the politics coming out of the white house is playing both sides. >> eliot: there is an an ulterior motive that helps the president's imagery being a war-time leader. i'll concede to you that some of the rhetoric were candidate obama would not have led one to believe that he still would have gitmo open or used drones so effectively and consistently or used an attack against iran. but given the reality of what the president has done. he's close to what a mitt romney foreign policy would look like. as you point

. >> he railed gitmo. >> ran against gitmo. >> a "new york times" report says president obama has a secreth worse. a confidential kill list. what would the constitution say about that? judge andrew napolitano on deck. he don't like it.

is considering transferring several taliban detainees from gitmo to afghanistan to be held in afghan control. could you comment on that? and also may i ask you about jim miller's trip to israel? was it confirmed to him that the missile defense exercise postponed already this year is rescheduled and will be held in october? the israeli xerize sigh officer challenge -- you're right. it was scheduled for the spring of the year and collaborateively with the israelis we rescheduled it and dr. miller's not back yet so i really don't know what the final decision was but it's our expectation that's when the event will occur. >> with regards to reconciliation, there continue to be discussions with regards to reconciliation. there are no specific commitments that have been made with regards to prisoner exchanges at this point. one thing i will assure you is that any prisoner exchanges that i have to certify are going to abide by the law. and require that those individuals do not return back in to the battle. >> can you say whether it's being consider at this point? >> i think the discussions a

you may know 169 resolution increases are held at gitmo including the suspect whose claim responsibility the attacks of 9/11. and now our senior judicial analyst, judge napolitano. >>judge napolitano: at the end of the bush administration in 2008 the supreme court of the united states ruled the right to habeas corpus, to force the government to try you, review the evidence or free you, applies to everyone, all americans, americans and non-american. it applies to the people in guantanamo bay. if ordered, the federal government district court in washington, dc, hear the applications from the detainees. meaning the government had to reveal the evidence it had. and how it got the evidence. so, of 59 who asked for the hearings the court ordered 32 released and 27 kept in prison. none of the 32 has been released so they filed appeals to the circuit court of appeals which invalidated the release orders and they asked the court to hear that appeal and they said "no." so we are left with a terrific 2008 decision which says habeas corpus basically the government cannot lock you up without evidence

. >> now, on day two of his presidency, he did sign an executive order to close gitmo.n he realized it's not that simple. 3 1/2 years later of course gitmo is still open. does mitt romney's day one promise amount to more than campaign talk or not? mckay koppens joins me. michelle goldberg, senior contributing writer for "newsweek." and allison stewart, former speechwriter for michele bachmann. is this a promise he can keep? >> absolutely. the first thing he'll do is issue waivers to all 50 states in order for them to make their own decision on this. the plan to repeal obama care, governor romney will bring both sides of the house and senate together. republicans and democrats. and he will work together in order to find the best solution to health care which includes free market reforms. what we have -- what we had yesterday, we had reaffirmation of another broken promise on the part of the president. this thing is nothing more than huge taxes. it includes an array of taxes. more than 21. and 12 of them affect the many people he says will not be affected. those making le

. >> next, president obama had pledged to shut down gitmo. remember that?s of dollars in upgrades. terrorists need cable tv, right? >> awesome story to tell. andy grammar, street performer not too long ago. now he's climbing the pop charts and he's on our stage. >> first the picnic table. mine was earned off vietnam in 1968. over the south pacific in 1943. i got mine in iraq, 2003. usaa auto insurance is often handed down from generation to generation. because offers a superior level of protection, and because usaa's commitment to serve the military, veterans and their families is without equal. begin your legacy, get an auto insurance quote. usaa. we know what it means to serve.

on an international level now in two thousand and eight the supreme court ruled that detainees at gitmo could in fact challenge their detention this was in the case midian v bush and in two thousand and nine barack obama became president and many people believed after that it would only be a matter of time before the doors of guantanamo bay would be locked for good and here's why many people thought that want to audible betsy's and close down guantanamo restore habeas corpus import we're going to leave much other than the whole the restoring habeas corpus and the close guantanamo and i will follow through on that the will be closed now represents the rule of law and due process and that's why we're going to close the ads out of. our own hands for. all right let's fast forward less than a year after obama was inaugurated to an attempted act of terror by a man named abdul matal of otherwise known as the underwear bomber who tried to hide a bomb in his underwear and he happened to be from yemen which cause president obama to halt the release of any detainees from yemen today there are one

close the school down and send them to gitmo. >> dana: because they have a new soccer field.hey will send the kids to school. that is changing. i read an article how some states are changing the policy on vouchers but also just a resurgence of people wanting to send their students to catholic schools. what do you think of this? >> eric: i love this. i'm all for the voucher system. catholic school need it. they have had declining enrol enrollment. the voucher system allows people to have access to catholic education. >> dana: look at the reading and math numbers. they are slightly better. parents like that. in reading. you can see there. also in math. >> eric: catholic schools on the top. >> dana: sometimes in urban environment that is the best solution to get your kid out of a school. >> greg: if you imagine exercise red and blue schools. one is liberal and one is conservative. the liberals would be liberal while sending kids to conservative skills. it happens now. sidwell friends. liberal politicians whose kids go to private school. if you're against voucher the kids should

certainly across the globe now in two thousand and eight the supreme court ruled that detainees at gitmo could challenge their detention in the case boumediene v bush and in two thousand i'm barack obama got elected president maybe people believed it was just a matter of time after that before the doors of guantanamo bay would be locked for good and here's why many people felt that. well it's laudable that these close down guantanamo restore habeas corpus import we're going to leave blood shutting the guantanamo and restoring abs corpus and in the cause guantanamo and i will follow through on that guantanamo will be closed that represents a real problem and that's why we're going to close that saturday when restorative course is always a fast forward less than a year after president obama took office and attempted act of terror by a man named omar faruq abdul matal of otherwise known as the underwear bomber he tried to hide a bomb in his underwear and he happened to be from or at least trained in yemen that caused president obama to halt the release of any detainees from yemen well today

states and across the world now in two thousand and eight the supreme court ruled that the detainees at gitmo could in fact challenge their detention in the case the case was called the median for the bush and in two thousand and nine barack obama became president and many people believe that after that it would just be a short time before the doors to guantanamo bay would be locked for good and here's why and if you will follow that. want to out of all bets easy to close down guantanamo restore habeas corpus abort we're going to lead by shutting the whole restoring libya's corpus to macos guantanamo and i will follow through on that tumble will be closed that represents the rule of war and. that's why we're going to qualify our credible threat of. a vast forward to less than a year after president obama was inaugurated an attempted act of terror by a man named omar faruq abdulla tal otherwise known as the underwear bomber basically tried to hide a bomb in his underwear and he happened to be from yemen that cause the president to halt the release of any detainees and get mail from yemen well

he said we'd be out of both wars and closing gitmo. one example after another.se he has kept is he'll transform america. this is something previously we wouldn't fathom, wouldn't recognize. >> andrea: governor, this is andrea tantaros. how are you? thank you for being with us. you started and mentioned a lot of conservatives are unhappy and unhappy with justice roberts' decision. a lot of the conservatives have been criticizing justice roberts. michael salvag savage conservate talk show host went after him and said i'll talk to you something you haven't heard anywhere else. he suffered from epileptic seizures and went on to assert somehow maybe the epilepsy caused the decision. >> bob: he's an idiot. >> andrea: hold on, bob, please. president obama went after the court, too, right before the ruling. you came out and said he doesn't have common sense and he was trying to embarrass the court. should conservative be consistent not you but others criticizing the court. >> it does no good to put your faith in one human being. man is fallible. don't put your faith in

obama wasn't specific about how he was going to close gitmo, so each of these presidential cycle, thesedidates become less and less specific because there are those in the media, present company maybe, who pounce on that and the debate becomes more about defending what you're saying as opposed to laying out in a coherent measure. >> right now, ron, i got new numbers. one in six americans polled fresh out tonight like romney. one in six. the rest are arguing about what kind of a job b the president's doing. so this guy hasn't passed muster in terms of a winning personality because he doesn't talk about anything that means anything to people yet. fair enough, but selling. >> yeah, but you can't win the presidency just by saying i'm not the guy who's in office now. maybe you can if you're a very talented politics, but i don't think romney is that politician. he can't really -- >> he's not as smart as richard nixon. >> no, he's not. he's going to have to stand on a stage with barack obama and he can't keep repeating these platitudes about i've got a long-term plan. it won't wash. >> okay, t

it reminded me when they used to chase dick cheney around in 2009 to talk about the closing of gitmoe every time. maybe today is a draw but they gave more attention to romney's speech. >> bob: one of the producer's 18-month-old kid in the greenroom here who made more sense talking to me than romney made in the entire speech. romney is saying we'll create jobs and he doesn't come up with one single plan how to do it. not one. >> greg: we went through his plan in a whole segment yesterday. >> --, and -- >> dana: he can't do anything because he's not president. >> greg: this is a gun battle. one guy comes with a plan. another guy came with platitudes. >> bob: his plan to take care of china. remember the invasion of china? >> dana: there were five bullet points. >> bob: the rest is ma'amture -- >> the way it's sounding in 2008, 2007, president obama put forth a campaign incredible. it looked like he had, on the cutting edge, new media and the other stuff. fresh ideas. everybody looked at him like wow! now, he is turning in a regular politician. that is liberalism. the same recycled ideas

you could look to, as president obama campaigned on closing gitmo.e first thing to, do roll back the bush era tax cuts. you end up getting in the oval office and realize this isn't as easy as i thought. two things to mention. one thing he mentioned is keystone pipeline. some democrats think nobody paid attention to what that is. people are paying attention and they want that. the policy has to be bigger and broader. the other thing that will be difficult to do is when he says stand up to china's unfair trade practices. you get in there, and you find out there is not a lot that can be done unless you have to full weight of the world behind you. first 100 days i don't know if you get that. >> andrea: is he boxing himself in that is something we discussed, manage of expectations, that president obama made the plans. 100 days is not a lot of time. >> greg: the bigger question is how the media will treat this and how the dems will treat this. they will laugh at this. this is actually a list of actions. a list of actions -- >> bob: is it is? >> greg: yes.

that -- [ overtalk ] >> juan: if you don't think they are going after holder on new black panthers to gitmoey don't like eric holder. >> greg: all of those things are examples of his incompetence. you go after him. the guy is a loser. >> eric: we have to get to this. juan, deflect. they want to divert. nancy pelosi. they want to move on. president obama. but we need to stay focused on fast and furious. you need a reason? here are two. >> something they don't want us to know and there is something to hide. >> i think they are hiding something. they're lying and hiding it. >> after a while when you feel like throwing the tv through the front window, because you get tired of hearing the constantly lies you know they are doing. >> eric: those were border agent brian terry's parents in a heart wrenching interview that sean hannity somewhat handled like a pro last night. gregory? >> greg: if this happened in the bush administration the family would already be in negotiation with steven spielberg for movie rights and they'd have jam hamm attached to play brian terry. i have seen hospital gowns wit
