so only in hindsight do i see how easy it was.he tough years i did not exercise a lot of critical faculty about how tough things were. every day you came in and tried to sort things out and the next day you sort things out and one day you go out and there is nothing left to sort through and that is how you know it is over. but there's always stuff. i think when things are going well you love the hell out of it and when things are difficult you have a sense of duty that really takes over. in terms of leadership i think, and this is a virtue but also a vice, have a thick skin. if it is too thick and you are oblivious to what is going on that is a bad thing, but it has to be thick enough not to take all the well intended device-- advice that would have you bend to every breeze. in november 2008 we had our research conference, september 2008 we had the crisis, november 2000 eight i am getting questioned on whether there will be any investment banking. i said our strategy is to be a financier and market maker and asset manager and co-i

hindsight that was great because we recall just two years ago the u.k. lobbied for military intervention in libya now the countries played by violet still say hindsight is great but good decision or not you think i think it was a terrible the decision i'm afraid that if colonel gadhafi had suppressed still position to open speech and lost the two thousand cost of the hundreds of people would have died but perhaps as many as thirty thousand died since and the country is in deep state to disorder uncertainty life for most libyans is worse than it was on account of the articles kind of about his regime is supposed by the western countries to be the second bad regime anything must be russia we were told well i'm afraid to say we see that it's not necessarily so clear. mccomb them. now moscow might skies but little bottom azing pyrotechnic show we're talking about on line r.t. dot coms a dazzling victory for display which marked sixty eight years since the defeat of nazi germany moving wartime recollections from the veterans themselves just a click away as we

hindsight is always clearer. this was an unusual circumstance to notify us. it includes the mother of originally. we understand that we are operating in the context of mistrust and there is cooperation in some areas. it seems to me that the fact that this a original notification, you investigate what went wrong. at what point could somebody have acted to stop this? it really should have raised this case to a very high profile internally because of where it came from. it could be that the most consequential failure was the failure of russian intelligence to explain why they were more interested in tamerlan tsarnaev. i hope you will go back and speak to the fbi had and take another look at those guidelines to see if in any way they constrain the fbi from acting more aggressively. toi ask unanimous consent put a number of questions in the record. an to put a number -- article from the washington journal today in the record. let me say that this approach has to continue. in the course of information coming to you, did the homeland's security department provide yo

we did not have the benefit of hindsight in the early hours, and those people who were -- who are in peril in the future need to know that we will go get them and we will do everything we can to get them out of harms way. that night unfolded in ways that no one could have predicted when it first started, and it is my strong belief then, as it is now, that we needed to demonstrate that resolve even if we had still have the same outcome. >> thanks the gentleman. just want to reiterate, mr. chairman, your point to me, that rather than speculate what mr. benjamin, mr. kennedy, and others may think or may have said i'm a we will have the opportunity -- >> we look forward to it. all time is expired. he now go to the gentlelday from illinois, ms. kelly. thanktoo, would like to you for your service and your patients sitting here almost three hours. my condolences to the family. mr. hicks, i would like to ask you about your testimony about the flight from tripoli to benghazi. in your interview with the committee you explained that the first plane from tripoli to benghazi left on the night of

don't forget, hindsight is 20/20 vision. it's always easier to connect dots when you're looking at things retrospectively. my reaction to this is that people have handled it about as well as they could, and with regard to one critical question that i don't think we yet know the answer to is this was a radical inspired event, but was it also radically directed. was there somebody directing it from abroad. i don't think so. but i think we still have to give the investigation time to find out if there was anybody in russia who was somehow influencing and maybe even controlling events here. i doubt it, but i think that's got to be looked into. >> let me take you up on that. i'm curious as to why given that you were the former director of national intelligence, why you would doubt that, given what appears to be increasing evidence that that may well be the case. i'll put it to you like this. we saw that tamerlan tsarnaev disappeared for six months. the a.p. has reported today that the russian authorities lost him, lost track of h

i would have to say no, in hindsight, maybe we did but that will be hindsight after the criminal case is completed. >> sir, can you tell us about the young child that was rescued along with amanda berry. was she born in that house? is she ariel castro's biological child and were there other pregnancies among the women? >> the answer to that, no, i can't tell you about her. she is a minor. i can't discuss her status at all. >> because its criminal investigation. >> out of respect for the three young girls in that house. i think that information will come out eventually. >> or other three impregnated? >> that is not going to come out today. we're not going discuss that. >> you messaged the women left the house twice in ten years. what were the circumstances of those instances. also, did the women know castro through his daughters before their abduction? >> i'll answer the second one. there is nothing that leads us to believe that there was knowledge between the two or friendship or they knew each other. as far as them leaving the house twice, when you get a chance to see where the house

. >> looking back with hindsight, i think looking at different fasteners in other applications might have made sense. there are others that are studier when it comes to this problem. >> reporter: as for the wells, they put out a press release late this afternoon essentially saying that these are 20 out of 1 million, and they're not concerned about the safety. they do not believe it's going to delay the project. >> so that's really a big question for a lot of people, especially the folks that are planning the events, the parties, the concert, all that stuff. what are they telling you? >> reporter: that's a fundraising efforts, a bike and a walk across the bridg on labor day. they hope to stick to the schedule. and they've only got half the money raised, and the fundraising is on hold till they can figure out whether it's going to make its mark. >> any timeframe? >> reporter: nothing yet. but they are pretty sure they're going to try and make it labor day. >> we'll see. >>> an earlyseas is to a blazing start. fires just today. the 125-acre yellow fire is still burning in sonoma after n

>> looking back from today and looking back with hindsight, i think looking at different sorts of fasteners might have made sense. >> another group assembled by analysts has been looking at reported concrete issues beneath the new tower. concerned there may be an institutional problem. one that leads to accepting and defending mistakes. >> we had issues on these big projects. these big projects is business. there's only a few corporations in the country that do these big projects and the experts work for those corporations or for caltrans. it's a struggle. >> caltrans spokesman told kcbs. >> we will continue to assist with external, independent reviews that the legislature deems appropriate. >> with fixes and inquiries, will the bridge be ready for labor day? >> it's to be determined. what they have to do to fix them to make sure it's safe. >> the panel locking at foundation issues beneath the new tower is still yet to reach its conclusions. ann. >> everyone wants a safe new bay bridge, right? we waited 20 years for it to be built. why is there a sudden urgency? >> it's been 24 years and si

but with hindsight and no personal stake in the game, i give me your take on qualities for a successful presidency. personally, i would put good luck and good timing of the top of the list. >> you are right, you would prefer somebody who understands the country and what people are going through, but most of all, somebody who is not plagued by self doubt, not paralyzed by overconfidence. in other words, he is not there to try to prove something or to turn somebody's respect. >> presidential historian. >> good judgment. it is hard to teach, but that ended the day, it is everything. ofthere are two kinds precedents. the ones that want to be someone, and the ones that want to do something. at the area classic, the classic of somebody who wanted to do something. those who see it as a way to complete them cells are the ones who see -- who end up rather tragically. >> i think the person need to have self discipline. there are so many competing claims on your time, mine, resources. that person has to be able to say no, when to shut up, when to listen, when to not make a decision, because there

and hindsight is very much 20-20. steve, thank you for that. inside the mind of an alleged monster.her secrets could be hidden inside that house of horrors, that is tonight. a special piers morgan live tonight at 9:00 p.m. eastern time. we've got some breaking news that i want to bring to your attention reason. this comes to us out of texas. in fact, it comes to us with regard to the explosion of the west texas fertilizer plant. the texas department of public safety is launching a criminal investigation into the fertilizer plant explosion. the texas department of public safety is announcing this in a press release, in fact. thankful the disaster has severely impacted the community of west. we want to insure that no stone goes unturned and that all of the facts related to this incident are uncovered. this from the director steven mcgraw, the director of the texas department of public safety. you'll remember that on april 17th, two days, actually, after the boston bombings at the marathon, that fertilizer plant exploded. 14 people were killed in that explosion. it registered on seismo

>> looking back from today with hindsight, i think looking at different sorts of fasteners in some of these applications might have been made sense. >> reporter: there may be institutional problems that lead to accepting and defending mistakes. >> we have had issues on these big projects about conflicts of interest. these big projects, it's incestuous. there's only a few corporations in the country that do these projects and experts work for these corporations or for caltrans. it's a struggle. >> reporter: caltrans says -- >> we will continue to assist with any outside external independent investigation and reviews that the legislature deems appropriate. >> reporter: with fixes and inquiries, will the bridge be ready for labor day as promised? >> it's to be determined. they have to find out about the bolts and what they have to do fix them to be sure it's safe. >> reporter: meanwhile, a lecttive analyst panel looking at problems -- a legislative analyst panel looking at the problems with the tower's concrete foundation has yet to release its report. >> it's getting close. where's that

>> in hindsight, certainly. >> if you had had this information before the bombing, would you have done -- your police force and you, would you have done anything differently? >> i can't say i would have come to a different conclusion. >> joe lieberman took the stand saying he believes better communication between law enforcement officials could have prevented the april 15th bombing. >> why didn't they involve the local law enforcement who could have stayed on this case and picked up signals from some of the students who interacted with them, from the people in the mosque who threw out tamerlan because he was such an extremist, or seen the videos he posted when he came back from dagestan that could have prevented all this from happening? >> the "new york times" reports two acquaintances of tamerlan tsarnaev say the elder bombing suspect showed an interest in jooe hazard during his six-month six to russia last year. after being turned away by several cemeteries, his body was finally buried at an undies closed location yesterday. in an interview by ann curry, the prime minister said given

you see it in hindsight. this last month has told us that these asset allocations are not taking place. it is the beginning of the great rotation, the great bear market in bonds, which everybody has been waiting for, has finally begun. is it going to fall off the -- >> the lows are in? >> no! but we have a fed out there that's supporting it. it's going to be a gradual bear market. >> but the fed has been trying to support this for -- >> the fed got us to the moon. i don't think they can get us back. that's the problem. >> yeah, you have over $1 trillion in retail money that's gone into bonds since 2009. >> and will work its way into equities. some of it will work its way into equities. >> there's absolutely no indication of -- when you talk about pes and all of that, you can throw that out the window. nothing in the market is telling you economic expansion now. that the transports have -- >> earnings are increasing! you've got 5 to 7% growth! what are you talking about! look at earnings! >> they're ridiculous

but that it would be hindsight. it was not anything that they could pinpoint. these cases... the case of amanda berry and gina dejesus, the two who were abductd as teenagers, those cases were pretty well publicized. and the efforts by the police to find some answers we prey well publicized too. >> suarez: we caught fleeting f two of the women: ms. berry and ms. dejesus. the third, michelle knight wasn't been seen at all. she remains in the hospital. do we know anything about her physical condition and why she's needed to be hospitalized all this time since she was freed? >> well, i believe when they entered the house, michelle knight complained of some heart problems 'm guessing that that's why she was placed back in the hospital. perhaps there's an issue... she was having heart pains or something of that nature. i don't know exactly why she went back into the hospital. i did hear though that... i think i heard she was in good condition. i don't think there's it's i'm not aware of anything that is life threatening or anything of that nature. while they were reported initially

we didn't do that with the 2008 bolts and we should have in hindsight. because that would have probably shown us if we had a problem, it would be in the lab instead of on the bridge. >> reporter: engineers say they are hopeful the new bridge can open on the labor day weekend but again it depends on whether the contractor can make the necessary fixes beforehand. it also depends on the testing on the 2010 bolts. that may also play a role on whether the bridge will open that weekend as well. >> i think everyone is very frustrated over this. i think a lot of the big engineering challenges of the bridge had been overcome. i think everyone thought we were really in the final last lap aiming toward an opening of the bridge getting people off the existing structure and getting people on the new structure. we had set a date of labor day for it. so it was a really unexpected event that took place. of course it's been frustrating i think for everyone. >> reporter: transportation officials say they will gather more data and more results on may 29th. more at 5:00 and

we could have earned home ice, in hindsight now looking back.e couldn't win here in five games straight, so home ice was a factor, as it was in our building. >>> the oakland raiders are desperately trying to continue an organizational change. we got our first look at matt flynn. until further notice, flynn is the starter. he has relatively little experience in his five nfl seasons but he's expected to set the tone on the field. >> i think the mentally that i'd like every to have is expect to win, every time you run a play, every time you play a game. expect to win. don't expect to lose. you can form that mentally. and good things happen and stuff starts to happen. >>> bay bridge series shifts to san francisco tonight after the a's won both games in oakland. we'll have it at 10. see you then! >> the raiders have gone through a lot of quarterbacks. >> they have. they're hoping that this is the one. >>> tonight on the 10:00 news, mechanics at a bay area amusement park, they've been locked out of their jobs, so we're asking, how are those rides bein

looking back from today and with hindsight i think looking at different sort of fasteners in some of these applications may have made sense. >> another group. a panel of experts has been looking at concrete foundation issues beneath the two hour. there's concern there maybe an institutional problem. one that leads to accepting and defending mistakes. >> we've had issue on these big projects about conflicts of interest. these big problems, it's incestuous business. it's a struggle. >> caltrans spokesman told cbs. >> we'll continue to assist with external independent investigations and reviews that the legislation deems appropriate. >> will the bridge be ready for labor day as promised? >> it's to be determined. they have to find out about the bolts first and what they have to do to fix them to make sure it's safe. >> looking at the concrete foundation issue beneath the main tower hasn't reached its conclusion. that report is expected before labor day but we don't know what it's going to say. >> everybody wants a safe bay bridge. but we've waited 20 years for it to be built. why the ur

>> in hindsight, certainly. >> if you had had this information before the bombing, would you have done -- your police force and you -- would you have done anything differently? >> i can't say that i would have come to a different conclusion, based upon the information that was known at that particular time. >> reporter: but former senator joe lieberman, past chairman of the senate's homeland security committee, says leaving the police out of it was a big mistake. >> why didn't they involve the local law enforcers who could have stayed on this case and picked up signals from some of the students who interacted with them? >> reporter: also today a reminder of the agony caused by the bombings from one family especially hard hit. 8-year-old martin richard was killed at the finish line cheering on runners. his mother, denise, has lost sight in one eye. his father, bill, suffered burns and shrapnel wounds. and in a statement, the family said today 7-year-old jane has undergone surgery number 11 to prepare her for a prosthesis after she lost her leg left below the knee. family members say the

the problem is in this respect i didn't think that he was even able to get it right in hindsight. he never recanted. he certainly saw things had gone badly wrong but he never reexamining his basic assumptions which led him to say let's have a war. >> host: do you think about writing while he was still alive? >> guest: i did not think about writing it. much of it was written part of it is based on an essay that i wrote in 2005 which i e-mail to him because we were having a bit of correspondence. he was being very likable and charming. i sent him this which was very damning of him and he eventually yielded and vaguely insulted me but it was a very amusing conversation. but it was included in another collection of the critics for each he drafted the response to that included others. so, on top of that, but it became clear that the 22 had come out and that was his memoir, there were aspects of his life and his writing that he had chosen to gloss over and some of us are interested in figuring out what was true and what wasn't delayed they contacted me about six months before he suddenl

knowing what it is, i can look at and say with permissions that you get from hindsight and say, there a lot of uncertainty and regulation. it is hard to explain. if you lay out the circumstances, i would say the trajectory of growth would be higher. people are nervous about taking risk. there is a huge consequence in getting it wrong. nobody agrees on the price. no one is borrowing to invest in their own businesses. does that mean people think they cannot get a return out of their own businesses? higher than the costs of funding? seems unlikely, but that is what -- where we are today. forget about economics. markets are not science. they are social science. there is a lot of emotion. . expected to change there are a lot of problems dogging it. i think the world models through and the u.s. does better than muddle through. >> i do not know if you saw the piece that bill had in the wall street journal. he talked about uncertainty. many uncertainties that are caused by government policy. it is a drag on economy. do you you subscribe to that point of view? not remember ao time when i could

and in hindsight, i am really glad he did that, because i have never seen our community quite so together. and not just the community -- not just the stakeholders, but the police, the da's office, everybody who has come together to make broadway a little bit better and a appreciate that. and it's been a long battle and people, you know, why do it? why push so hard? and the idea is that if my thinking if we make broadway better, we make north beach better, and if we make north beach better, we make san francisco better and i think it's worth the effort and worth the support from the board of supervisors to create this cbd. thank you. >> thank you very much. are there any other speakers? please come. >> hi, good morning my name is mike patrid a member of the police advisory board and resident. broadway has had a very colorful history as an entertainment area and it's often forgotten that people live on broadway and bordering the area. last several years residents have had to live with the consequence of several badly-run businesses that have attracted a real often dangerous element to the s

>> looking back with hindsight, i think looking at different sorts of fasteners in some of these applications might have made sense. there are other kinds of fasteners that are a little bit sturdier when it comes to this problem. >> reporter: back to the weld issue, the bay bridge spokesman is kind of downplaying the concern there releasing a statement last night saying, we're talking about 20 welds out of millions. they say it won't be a safety factor and they don't believe that will delay the bridge opening. but we'll find out more about that because if the welds don't delay the opening, the bolts certainly might. we are going to find out more at the next meeting which is may 8 less than a week from today. live on treasure island, anne makovec, kpix 5. >> thank you. certainly over the bad bolts and now the welds has put fundraising for the big grand opening party on hold over the labor day weekend. the bay bridge alliance has pledged for half of what it needs to throw that two-day party. the alliance says if a solution is found soon, they will start asking for money again but they have clea

so wind -- so only in hindsight do i see how easy it was.he tough years i did not exercise a lot of critical faculty about how tough things were. every day you came in and tried to sort things out and the next day you sort things out and one day you go out and there is nothing left to sort through and that is how you know it is over. but there's always stuff. i think when things are going well you love the hell out of it and when things are difficult you have a sense of duty that really takes over. in terms of leadership i think, and this is a virtue but also a vice, have a thick skin. if it is too thick and you are oblivious to what is going on that is a bad thing, but it has to be thick enough not to take all the well intended device that would have you bend to every breeze. i remember in november 2008 when we had our research conference, september 2008 we had the crisis, november 2000 eight i am getting -- 2008, i'm getting questioned on whether there will be any investment banking. i said our strategy is to be a financier and market make

president and you know maybe that cost doesn't really jive with what i got from my bachelor's in hindsight now does that mean that it wasn't worth it i don't know if i can say that per se but you know again going to an institution like that it sets up a student eighteen nineteen years old for a predatory loan which was the original intent of of our discussion taking it back to those predatory loans you know what what rights are they have to sign on the bottom line and maybe maybe the regulations should be a little bit different what about the need for a vote vocational skills and vocational training i mean there's plenty of demand for these types of jobs do you think that we should put more emphasis on vocational training you know i think yes and no. it needs to be individual based if we have a student who maybe isn't fit for academic life who would be better suited in a vocational training sector i.e. welding for example you know there are a lot of jobs like that you are right and perhaps we should be focusing prior to college and helping students find out exactly what their needs and thi

in those documents that truly was dangerous right let's go back to that we can leave thing is in hindsight should the mainstream media in the us have done more to put ted to weaken leaks in terms of what they expose what we all feel it was right for them to expose they sort of left them hanging but i think the mainstream. well actually i mean the new york times worked with some of the weekly leaks documents they worked with. for they were released and the other thing is you know there has been no action taken against assad officially obviously there's probably an investigation still in the works but there hasn't been any official action taken there haven't been any attempts to arrest him related to the document releases so there hasn't been anything for at least the media lawyers in the you know defending the american media to jump in and fight over understood all right mr leslie we're going to have to leave it right there run out of time but thank you very much for your thoughts on this. francaise syria's president must handover for executive power to a transitional government wild turkey

. >> looking back with hindsight, i think looking at different sorts of fasteners in some of these applicationsht have made sense. there are other kinds of fasteners that are a little bit sturdier when it comes to this problem. >> all right. as for the welds, the bay bridge spoeksman released a statement today that essentially said this. we're talking about 20 welds out of millions. they say it will not be a safety factor, a factor and they do not believe it will delay the opening of the bridge. >> we'll wait to see what they say officially. joe vas ke. thanks, joe. >>> uncertainty now the welds has put fund raising for that party on hold for the time being. the bay bridge alliance has pledges for about half of what it needs to throw a two-day party. the alliance says if a solution is found soon they'll start asking for money again. >>> streets all over the bay area were packed today from san francisco to oakland, the peninsula and san jose. doe shows us tens of thousands of people spent part of may day demanding for rights for immigrants. >> another year, another may day march or is it. >> how

in hindsight we may find out that maybe we did. that's going to be in hindsight and after this criminal case is completed. >> thank you. >> sir, can you tell us about the young child who was rescued along with amanda berry? was she born in that house? is she ariel castro's biological child? and were there other pregnancies among those women. >> okay, the answer to that is, no, i definitely can't tell you about her. she's, you know, a minor and i can't discuss her -- her status at all. because it's a criminal investigation and out of the respect for the three young girls that were in that house. i think that information will come out eventually. but it's not going to come out here today. >> were any of the other three impregnated? >> that's not going to come out here today. that's part of our investigation. we're not going to discuss that. >> layla tossy with the plain dealer. you mentioned that the women left the house twice in ten years. what were the circumstances of those -- those instances? and also did the women know castro th

often, it is only apparent in hindsight. to have a sort of relationship with immigrant communities, muslim relationships within the u.s. which conveys to them that we are not stigmatizing you as a community. we are all in this together. >> leon panetta is a former director of the c.i.a. >> we've learned a lot since 9/11 on basically how we're trying to get ahead. intelligence is a key here. that's what can really target you where these threats are. i think it can be done. after all, if you look at the last 10 or 11 years since 9/11, we have been able to prevent attacks. >> coming up next, in putting together this special, i couldn't help but notice how many women were critical in the intelligence hunt for bin laden. so, next, we asked a somewhat different question. are women better at this game than men? when we come back. so, i'm working on a cistern intake valve, and the guy hands me a locknut wrench. no way! i'm like, what is this, a drainpipe slipknot? wherever your business takes you, you can save money with progressive

i think we like to look in hindsight and say we should have look'x' and it is easy to in hindsight thatonn gauzy and other issues including the boston bombings. there are many things the american people cannot handle on a daily basis. it would incite a lot of and frantic concern responses. there is a degree of our system that we won't be privy to everything. i think we need to accept that. concerned about accountability but i think it would -- there was also an undercurrent of disrespect and that they that need to be added to by congress. clayton, n.c., democrats line. caller: i have been watching these things every now and then. eric holder, i don't know if people remember, but he was involved with fast and furious. he did not answer the questions on that neither. office got out of that and the president put him in another office and now he is involved with another thing. he is still not answering these questions. nobody is getting fired. nothing is happening to people. the government is just running amok. i don't understand it. nothing happens to none of them. host: 0 kelli, florida,

in 20/20 hindsight, why didn't someone see this?d them. >> eric: on these three guys, do we know all three of them lived in the residence or just ariel -- his name is on the mortgage. but what about pedro and the other castro? >> i don't think anyone lived there except for the three women. we talked to a neighbor who had known ariel for 22 years. he was a young kid when he moved in or when he bought the home. this kid who has known him for 22 years must be 30 something, he said he didn't think he lived there. he would come in and he would visit the place and care for. he sort of suspected he was waiting houses come bumping back up and make some money. he never saw the two brothers living there. do you ever have conversation with them. he said yes, he said look, he was a nice guy. he was a normal guy. there was nothing i felt was out of the ordinary. he is about 30 years old now but he met him when he was a young child. at the time he thought he was a nice guy. >> dana: when will the charges be made against these individuals? >> gret
