and so, we were a successful and encouraging congresswomen, jane harman, who was a congressman from california and also a very charismatic, tribune, powerful, wonderful smart lady. so it is quite obvious i think from all of this that i really do have this bias. and for that reason, it is really an opportunity and a pleasure for me to introduce the most successful woman in the world and they really do believe that. so you've heard from my wife about leadership skills and clearly condoleezza rice has all of those. but in my opinion, the most important leadership skills she has i think all successful leaders have this, is the ability to bring people together, cheap team built, to seek a common ground. and no one is more skilled at this and condoleezza rice. as national security advisor as you all know, it is her job to bring really diverse personalities together. and so in her case, as cheney the vice president, colin powell secretary of state and don rumsfeld, secretary of defense, really different personalities, really strong personalities, invite attention in the room as you will read in this

i wonder, in your experiences, we have a wide rake of president to see deal with, and jane harman canthe second term president much different? >> i can testify to that, because at the end of the first mix an term, one thought one had everything lined upped, the vietnam war was over, there had been an opening to china. they had the triangular relationship between them. the next step was going to be to improve relations with europe. and that design could not be implemented, because between four months watergate blew up. the second term, the part of the second term that nixon got to serve, he still did some extraordinary things. but that is an example of crisis management under extreme circumstances, and it's not a good example of how the n.f.c. system, maybe the only thing you can say is that it survived that strain. and that it enabled nixon to continue making decisive decisions at key moments. put i don't think one can draw lessons for the sake of the country. i think it was a national tragedy, self-inflicted, but also pushed to an extreme that maybe historians will think -- >> actual

. >> harman says they need to debate the appropriateness of drones used for domestic surveillance shed and given the authority to use drones in support of local police. the agency also says the sensors and camaras are similar to those used by fixed wing aircraft and helicopters supporting local law enforcement for years. the main difference, the drones can stay airborne up to 20 years. casey wian, cnn, los angeles. >>> very interesting story. >> what's the difference between a helicopter and drone, if it's the same tech nothing? >> it's unmanned. >> looking for people. >> when they capture, you don't have people with it. that's about it. canada's not likely to capture a u.s. drone in the way that iran did. >> and give it back if they did. >> even if america didn't ask for it. you dropped this on our border. here you go. >>> and 20 after the hour. rob marciano. he does not use drones. >> we're not making light. >> i think -- does anybody disagree? if an american drone landed in canada, canada would give it back? >> i think it's a -- >> my canadians friends, pick it up, cool. model airp
