all prisoners at guantanamo bay need to be released. and it goes on and says anyone that's been arrested and charged with having any kind of links or contacts with al qaeda or the taliban needs to be released. and the speaker on the tape, again, believed to be zawahiri, says that he will only be freed if these demands are met, and it really is up to president obama. christine? >> all right, zain verjee this morning. thank you, zain. >>> still ahead, a warehouse filled with billions of dollars

wants the united states to stop drone attacks in afghanistan, pakistan, yemen, somalia, to close guantanamo bay, to release all al qaeda and taliban prisoners. it seems very unlikely that these demands will be met. mr. weinstein was kidnapped in lahore, pakistan, last august. he was getting ready to leave the country, and he was about to have a going-away party, and there are many people in pakistan that believe this was an inside job, that his driver or one of the security guards tipped them off. >> all right. richard, thank you very much. >>> the u.s. military handled over camp victory in baghdad to the iraqi government this morning. the former palace compound built by saddam hussein became the military headquarters throughout the war in iraq. it is now under the authority of the iraqi government as part of the effort to move troops out by year's end. >>> the senate has blocked obama's plan for a tax cut which would have taxed wealthier americans to pay for the

president obama did take a very different approach about guantanamo bay and torture, when it comes to the kinds of things i write about, about the things that affect ordinary americans, his policies have been very much like those of president bush. tavis: even on guantanamo, it is not closed yet. he took a different position, but it is still open. >> he is getting so much push back from congress. it is difficult to say, he has not done it. congress is battling him when he wants not to use military commissions. we want the option of going into regular court. people say to me, does that mean that he was lying when he was a candidate? i do not think so. i think it looks different from the point of view of a president. every morning, the president gets a briefing about all the things that might happen. most of them never to happen. the chief thing we did in the fall of 2001 during the leadership of george w. bush, was that the government got congress to give them -- we better get the president a great deal of power because what if there is a terrorist that we could find this way and we co
