in 2006, american television interviewed lieutenant colonel john harris of the u.s. air force, who was involved in the operation. >> do you think that civilians were killed in any of those incidents? >> i don't know of any-- any friendly fire. i can't say that they were or they weren't. we do our absolute best to make sure that collateral damage is minimized in every case. >> coronel harris didn't appear to be aware of what was contained in the significant activity reports on steel curtain-- the deaths of 30 civilians, including a dozen children. >> steel curtain reported finding civilian bodies buried in 3 separate locations. [gunshots] [screaming in arabic] >> the u.s. military caused so many casualties, that they undoubtedly pushed more and more of the iraqis they had hoped to win over into insurgency. by 2007, 4 years after the invasion, the country had descended into anarchy.

john harris, thank you very much. >>> coming up, a showcase night for nba talent. sports is next.more about the land than probably anyone else. we've had this farm for 30 years. we raise black and red angus cattle. we also produce natural gas. that's how we make our living and that's how we can pass the land and water back to future generations. people should make up their own mind what's best for them. all i can say is it has worked well for us. wi drive a ford fusion. who is healthier, you or your car? i would say my car. probably the car. cause as you get older you start breaking down. i love my car. i want to take care of it. i have a bad wheel - i must say. my car is running quite well. keep your car healthy with the works. $29.95 or less after $10 mail-in rebate at your participating ford dealer. so you gotta take care of yourself? yes you do. you gotta take care of your baby? oh yeah! we're so choosy about the cuts of beef that meet our higher kosher standards that only a slow-motion bite can capture all that kosher delight. and when your hot dog's kosher, that's a hot dog

john. >> harris: reading today that the london has some plans what do we expect to see over the coming days? >> well, at the moment, obviously, we have heard that he has arrived. i'm standing outside the wing of st. mary's hospital. can i imagine there are lots of people as you can see behind me shouting and screaming. i'm sure that kind of good feeling is set to continue. >> harris: adora oleh thank you very much. we appreciate your perspective from london. a bomb at one of the locations pope francis is set to visit in brazil. the homemade device described as homemade. a mom plunged to her death from a roller coaster in front of her children. she complained her safety bar was not completely secure. one witness says the victim lifted her arm just as the ride dropped. now the investigation. stay close. our time together was... so short. well, since you had progressive's total loss coverage, we were able to replace your totaled bike with a brand-new one. the tank, the exhaust... well, she looks just like roxy! you know, i'll bet she's in a better place now. i'm sure she is.

john harris also our friend editor in chief of politico, david sanger, one of my oldest friends chief washington correspondent for the "new york times" and bobby ghosh editor of "time" magazine. friends, what should we talk about here? i mean with all of this, peggy, what's the most important thing here? >> i think probably the story that everybody in america woke up learning this morning this is the zimmerman verdict. funny thing everybody thought, my goodness, the verdict is going to come, everybody will know within 20 seconds. well in fact it had come overnight rather late last night. i think it's a big story, we'll all be talking about it america will be deciding what it thinks about it over the next 12 hours. >> schieffer: ask this another o.j. simpson verdict and will we -- so far no reaction like that. >> in that it leaves a lot of people confounded, i'd say dumbfounded some people frankly have ash in their mouth over it. but i suspect it may be like simpson in that people as emotional as they get do reserve a certain detachment, a certain coolness, they understand the criminal

john mccain loves the filibuster. every politician loves the filibuster. one, it enhances their power and two, they don't have to face hard votes. it came from harryed to corral the caucus. >> cenk: it's like the deja vu of the bipartisan john mccain. what does this did to center mcconnell's stock. >> can it get any lower? i don't think it can get any lower. it does drop it dramatically. but i was happy to see that the grownups are coming back to their senses in congress. we sent them to congress to get our business done, and to reach acrossacross the ail which they've done until recently, and i think their 11% approval rating might be, hmm, this is not working. we need need to get working this is why we're here. >> harry reid and john mccain are dating now. i've been a much bigger proponent. the joke is on the democrats. in 2014 should the republicans take control of the senate which absolutely could happen, what is the first thing they're going to do? they're going to use the nuclear option and it go far beyond the presidential appointment. >> i don't think so. there is a reason why the republicans backed down. they want--they want the filibuste

mitch mcconnell said if he did, harry reid will be remembered as the worst senate majority leader ever. senator john mccain, a man harry reid once said he could not stand, led the effort to find a compromise with the result that after two years of republican opposition, richard cordray has been officially confirmed to head the consumer financial protection bureau. >> richard cordray was finally confirmed by the united states senate to keep serving as america's consumer watchdog and the director of the consumer financial protection group. [applause] >> in exchange, democrats said they would withdraw two nominees for the national labor relations board. the senate on to confirm gina mccarthy as the head of the epa and thomas perez as secretary of labor. the senate historian said he could not find another example of a nominee being confirmed on a straight party-line vote. with the august recess in sight, there was peace in the land. we're all friends, right? >> it was a case where they and theball to eyeball republicans point. got whatby said they they wanted, the democrats, we basically rolled over. re

harry reid is not asking for much, and even senators bike john mccain, john mccain has certainly suggestedt harry reid isn't asking for too much. the question is can harry reid get enough republicans to say okay, fine we'll let you have the vote on the seven. we'll try to unblock some of the nominee votes, but you still have to allow us to use the filibuster on other things. i have a feeling that the republicans will back down, and we'll certainly know tomorrow if harry reid will change the senate rules. >> michael: yeah and that would bring on a bigger fight. i want to go back to the george zimmerman verdict that we were talking about. president obama released a statement about the verdict, which is pretty rare for pat to do. what is a president's role in a case like this and is it different for barack obama. >> i think the statement was great. you know, every article that sort of analyzes what the president said after the zimmerman verdict talks about the grief that he was going to catch from either side because of it. but i don't think the president would give the president any grief fo

senators came and worked out a deal with harry reid and john mccain. under certain conditions could you require this kind of filibuster, you set the criteria for the judge did that you want at the appellate level, and then you go. they are blocking the president's appointment powers. that is why you have to think about the nuclear option. >> all of this began when bush nominated a promising, rising young hispanic attorney named .iguel estrada obviously on the way to becoming a supreme court justice. the democrats refuse to act on this for over two years, at which point, he withdrew. i agree with you. for presidential nominees, if should be 50 votes. >> for the record, i am catholic. the reality is, what you have done here is you have the government on its knees. republican senators have hidden behind a filibuster. it is time for them to show some spine and vote up or down on nominees and notthe smokescreene filibuster. >> so therefore, we feel obliged to consider whether the voters of new york city would be willing to forgive a couple of politicians wh

instead, it was john mccain, a veteran senator, somebody who has tried to be at various points in his career a bridge between the two parties. here is harryeason we're at the point we are. a lot of people have been extremely helpful, but this is all directed toward john mccain from me. no one was able to break through but for him, and he does it at his own peril. >> here is what the terms of the deal are according to aides on both sides. five of the seven nominees that president obama had put forward, his nominees for labor secretary, for epa, for consumer protection, richard cordray in that new agency created under dodd/frank, those will go forward. there will be two new nominees to the national labor relations board, republicans have resisted those because a court had ruled that they were appointed unlawfully when the senate was not actually in recess. recess appointments without a recess. and the white house with the advice of labor is going to come up with those two nominees and republicans are agreeing to confirm them by august 1st, which allows the nlrb to function. so this appears to be the way forward. it's not official. we do at

harry reid was as effusive as harry reid can be in his praise of john mccain. >> i'm going to tell one person and no one else how much i appreciate their advocacy here. their persuasiveness, persistence. no one was able to break through but for him. and he does it at his own peril. >> michael: jay carney also applauded mccain's work, but denied that the white house had any direct involvement in the deal. >> the white house was not involved in negotiating. the white house provided information and answered questions. when it came to working with hence, including senator mccain. what we've seen deserves credited for finding a solution here. >> michael: in the meantime,:mcconnell kept a low profile. >> i think it's a step in the right direction that the majority has chosen not to exercise the nuclear option. we feel good about that. i think they feel good about it. i think that crisis has been averted. we still will be dealing with controversial nominees in are a way that controversial nominees inevitably produce. a great debate. >> reporter: now for the latest on this story we head just o
