hi guys it's time for tonight's tool time award and tonight it goes to a repeat winner senator joe lieberman now we are going to spend the last few years of his career working tirelessly to chip away at the first amendment and as part of this quest he emerged as one of the most vocal anti wiki leaks critics personally pressuring amazon to remove wiki leaks from their cloud servers and publicly stating that the new york times may be guilty of a crime for publishing wiki leaks cables i'm not here to make a final judgment on that but to me new york times has committed at least an act of bad citizenship and whether they have committed a crime i think that there is a very intensive inquiry by the justice department. now lieberman even went so far as to injuries a bill introduced a bill called the shield act which would have extended the espionage act to make it against the law to make public certainly info after it's already been leaked and if you take a moment to wrap your head around that it's only stupid but it's insane so now lieberman's little bill that will excuse me that bill was clearly u

connecticut senator joe lieberman. who has now decided not to run again for his own senate seat, let alone for anything else. quoting mr. roemer, "i'm asking independent-minded voters to imagine what we could accomplish with this ticket. americans are justifiably frustrated with their politicians and parties. joe and i could change that. to me it's a dream team." to me it's a dream team." aside from mr. roemer's own political fortunes, the main problem with the dream team idea, nobody asked joe lieberman to imagine what the roemer/lieberman ticket could do. that left the magazine "the weekly standard" to ask mr. lieberman about it. his spokesman responded with a no, saying the senator has been there, done that, and he has the t-shirt and chad to prove it. joining us tonight for the interview, republican presidential candidate and former governor of louisiana, buddy roemer. mr. roemer, thank you for coming on the show. nice to see you again. >> thank you, rachel. good to be back. >> did you and tim pawlenty bond backsta

information operations and military intelligence curricula and as far as congress goes senators joe lieberman and susan collins have been questioning the qualifications of the trainers for a while however representative sue myrick of north carolina she's spoken out against these internal reviews because she thinks they could quote weaken the programs by censoring certain language that is used to object if we identified asymmetrical threats that are present in today's world thankfully it is only one of the only members of congress who opposes this review because rooting out islamophobia in u.s. law enforcement whether it's local or national is of the utmost importance for a counterterrorism efforts despite the fact the white house wanted to keep their involvement quiet overseeing the training process as definitely a step in the right direction and frankly i think we should have been much there. last night los angeles joined other cities across the country that of protesters from their occupy encampments and just like other cities that claim to be encampments were in danger and public safety l.

host: joe lieberman wants google to crack down on the web sites. guest: there is a free-speech issue. i am not a lawyer. inside the united states there are more protections for websites them outside of the united states. central command in tampa created a new digital command designed to respond to conspiracy theories and paranoia disseminated against the u.s. that mobilizes radical moslems. they spent hundreds of billions of dollars doing this, responding quickly to any website. at the same time, the pentagon and lights as guests of the pentagon the very same groups that spread the same paranoia, the notion that there is a war against islam and you should not cooperate with the fbi. we try to fight it, and internally we enable the enablers. host: this is from one of our viewers -- guest: that is a good question. we will find out soon. host: why do you say we will find out soon? guest: there are numerous inquiries, and i understand there is a response forthcoming from the pentagon and the cia. the fact is anwar al-awlaki, according to our investigat

democrats, definitely one of the most conservative democrats in the senate last week, ben nelson and joe lieberman voted against it and republicans were able to successfully filibuster it. but now we're able to see some more roads and bridges stuff move forward in another way. so why do we get to move forward on the highway bill and we don't get to move forward on the one that's attached to president obama's jobs bill? >> well, i think implied in your question is the fact that it is clearly the case that -- it's a little like groundhog day reporting on it, right? because every day the republicans come in and every day they want to block what the president is doing. in fact, the veterans bill had to be so non-controversial that it could pass 94-1. and that's the threshold? you know? things can either pass 94-1, you're naming a post office, you're giving tax savings to veterans, or they can get blocked. it's those two options. there's nothing in the middle. there's nothing in this current political terrain that can pass by a five vote margin or vix-vote margin or two-vote margin in the senate. becau

infrastructure, boy, that's a popular topic, but even those who voted against it including two democrats, joe liebermanelson of nebraska say they like those projects but feel the congress really needs to deal with cutting the deficit first. that, of course, is the domain of the supercommittee. that has been crickets of late, not knowing what they're doing to do. i was on a conference call a short time ago with senator patty murray, a co-chair, and says she and her counterpart, jeb henserling, a republican in the house are working together, having conversations. even know the wider committee has not been meeting. that's been a signal many people think they may not be able to reach some kind of deal. >> kelly o'donnell, from washington, d.c., this afternoon. have a great weekend. >> you, too. >>> less than three weeks remain for the supercommittee to reach a deal reducing the deficit over $1 trillion. house members signed a letter pushing a $4 trillion deficit deal. the move was spearheaded by heath shuler, democrat from north carolina and republican mike simpson of idaho. gentlemen gentlemen, good after

backstabber joe lieberman and sellout ben nelson joined with the republicans to kill the bill. senate minority leader mitch mcconnell objected to the bill because it would put a new tax on america's richest 345,532 people. >> i'm sure that it is the case that most americans support raising taxes on high-income individuals. my guess is they might have a different view if they knew that 4 out of 5 of those individuals were actually business owners. nevertheless, it's time it seems to me for us to quit making the campaign speeches and remember the election is in november of '12, not this month of '11. >> so right in that sound bite mitch mcconnell what the american people want and then he went on to tell the rest of his colleagues in the senate that the american people are stupid, that they don't know how many businesspeople are involved in this. i mean, give me a break. the gentleman from kentucky, if we have to call him that, is protecting job creators from a .7% tax on any income over a million dollars a year? i'll have more on this later at the board. senate majority leader ha

[inaudible conversations] >> good morning. good morning. the hearing will come to order. senator lieberman, the committee's chairman, has been unavoidably delayed. he will be joining us shortly, but he has asked me to proceed to convene the hearing and to deliver my opening statement. in fact, he suggested that i give a very lengthy opening statement in order to allow him to proceed with his before we call on our first witness. nevertheless, we will proceed as normal. by targeting our airplanes, al-qaeda's succeeded in killing nearly 3,000 people a decade ago. aviation security is clearly critical to homeland security. we, americans, have demonstrated our willingness to endure, enhanced security measures at our airports if those measures appear to be reasonable and related to real risk, but travelers are frustrated when security measures inconvenience them apparently without cause or when they appear to be focused on those who pose little or no threat. next month, it will be ten years

you should just throw these people he in military -- senator lieberman, my dear friend, if you left it up to joe everybody caught is an al qaeda operative, would be thrown in military custody. they would be held as long as we need to hold them and tried by military commissions. at the end of the day, that's sort of where i come out. but i am not going to create a 535 commander in chief body here, because there are times when that may not work. what we've done is what you said. if you capture someone at home, it's just like you've described. and the reason, to my colleagues on this side, i wanted to build into things you just described, is because i'm very worried about crossing over out of our lane into the executive lane. now -- here's what happens to that al qaeda operative. not only does the executive branch have the flexibility to go one way versus the other starting with the idea of military custody. but all the things you said are true. but what do they have beyond that? if someone is being held as an enemy combatant, there are regulations requiring that they be presented to combat status
