and the bottom line is that harper didn't want it published because i was critical of fox news, i was critical of a judge that they had a case in front of and, frankly, i had to bring a lawsuit for an employee of news corp. which is owned by murdoch against news corp.. so it was basically a hit. i mean, they killed the book because they couldn't take criticism, and that's ironic of someone who is the biggest media tycoon on the planet. so i will sue them for harming my reputation and, frankly, to get the money back for the people who have paid for my book but never got the book. and if anybody has not gotten it, please write to me, and i'll pay for it myself and make sure you did get a book. >> host: we have a couple of calls left, couple calls left, larry klayman. illinois, bill on our democrats' line. go ahead. >> caller: yeah, good morning. thank you for having me. hey, one of the things that i'm really concerned about is term limits and age limits for congressmen. and, you know, people have to get up and invoke this. the other thing is a lot of people don't understand we have a lo

he even wore johnson's 85 but harper can only do so much. johnson is 6'5" and his skill level is off the charts. >> calvin johnson is a match up nightmare. you know, he's as good as anybody in the league. we played him two years ago in philadelphia. he's tall, he's fast and got great hands and catches passes. he's a tremendous player. >> he's a great, great receiver, you know. he's got size. he's got speed. everything that really impresses me probably the most about hill is he goes after every ball as if it's the last one. you know, you see some skilled receivers that will make catches and the next one they will drop. this guy is fighting for every one like it's the last rebound. >> there is some key players on the injury list. offensive weapons mark clayton and lj smith join reid as doubtful and johnson and terrell are 50/50. >>> the eagles have confirmed that brian westbrook will miss at least one more game because of a second concussion this season. that means brian is out for sunday's game against the giants. wide receiver jackson pack t

we have to remember what jim harper said on first panel, privacy is subjective condition and there islot of trial and error out there people themselves personally experiment with how much they want to give away about themselves every single day in exchange for something else. there is no free lunch. these services online cost something and sometimes it means we have to give a little something to get them and sometimes that something is information. what i would argue there is a rational ignorance at times in these markets. might say one thing if asked by a pollster or survey what do we think about x or y, we might do a very different thing once we have our own time and money on the line. >> laurie, what about this disconnect between the online, or the behavior that consumers exhibit on a daily bases sills and yet what we hear in the polls? is this truly a disconnect in that what consumers are doing really represent their views towards privacy or is there something more going on here? >> well, it is true only so far you can go with surveys. people will say things. it doesn't necessaril

harper is trying to find a way to preserve the spirit and maybe the name public option in a way that lets democrats deliver for their base but also deliver the four or five democratic votes, maybe even delivers olivia snowe, republican. one thing is the trigger, there's no public option at first, but if states don't neat certain standards a public option or co-op or something like it would be triggered. >> majority leader reid's timeline, when is he expected to finish the bill? >> they said they want to get health care done this year, which presumably means before now year's or realistically up to -- before christmas've. that's up to reid. if he wants to cut off debate before republicans and moderate democrats think they're ready. a lot of rank and file senators think it's going into next year for the senate to get done. there's no way the president will have a bill to sign before 2010. >> todd zw iskslskslsksiskscrsks is with "the takeaway" prork deuced by wnyc and public radio. >> the president announced an increase in troops. he announce the increase from the eisenhower office bui

former commander of rc south said the situation in marja has a direct impact on the security in canada harperwhat bant -- what can the marine corps do to take this taliban stronghold away from the bad guys? >> you win the confidence of the people by being the strongest tribe. there can be no place in our area of operations where we do not go. marja is one of those places right now. it has to be cracked open. the people there, i think, will welcome us when that happens, because the reports that we get is that there is a murder- intimidation campaign at work there, that people are being kept in against their will. marja will be one of those areas of direct concern for us in the coming weeks and months. >> are we talking like fallujah one, fallujah two? >> that is all i want to say about it because it is a pending operation. >> general, based on what you saw in this recent trip to both theaters, what is your assessment of the ied threat now? is it getting better, worse? what observations you have on that? >> ok, i think i can say this. we are encouraged by what we're seeing. you know, we have wo

. >> this morning we heard from jim harper, david hoffman and others, talking about what consumers really we are going to get the answers from this distinguished panel. this panel is going to address what we know about consumer expectations with respect to their use of information. we have heard that surveys have presented little value on this issue because they do not represent real consumer behavior. there is general agreement that consumers do not understand what happens behind the scenes. when using a loyalty card, they visit web sites for complete surveys. relying on actual consumer behavior to understand their attitudes towards and expectations about the collection and use of their information has limitations. the expert panel today is prepared to talk about these issues in light of their own research, as well as addressing the role being played from disclosure in the vehicle of consent for commercial collection and use of information. first i would like to briefly introduce our panel. laurie kramer, on my left. next to her is alan davidson. jill kolineski from future privacy forums

house announced that president obama will attend at copenhagen which puts prime minister herbert -- harper in an awkward spot. given the political capital he has had to spend on political -- health-care reform, what you expect on climate change policy and how fast you see it taking place? what would look like? >> a think i can answer the second part of the question. i do not know what it is going to look like. the different approaches that are being put forward by different countries around the world leaves it unclear as to where this is going to end up. the president has said was to see the united states taking a leadership role in this. if there's one country who can play a leadership role is the united states. i think while there is quite a debate as to whether or not he would go to camp in nagin -- copenhagen, he is going to be in norway. he felt he needed to be there to put as much of an american push behind this. no one is expecting anything definitive. what i think he will be looking to do is to get some agreement on a broad political objectives that we can come as interested countr
