[laughter] heretics and heroes is a book about the two great forces that shaped the modern western world as we still experience that world today. one of these forces is nationalism, and the other is religion. more precisely, the book is about how the emerging nationalisms of western europe acted upon the sensibilities of human beings and still act upon those sensibilities and about how the experience of personal faith and practice partly informed by these emerging nationalisms brought about new religious insights as well as permanent fractures within the unity of western christianity. today i'd like to focus briefly on nationalism and then spend the rest of our time together talking about the force of religion. but i won't talk directory about the book "heretics and heroes." tha

the case could potentially impact other twitter users, we asked freedom of speech expert professor kaplanething that is a false statement of fact that hurts somebody else's reputation, it could be defamation whether it is oral or printed in the newspaper or if it's printed in a new medium like twitter. >> reporter: but the case he says probably will not set any precedent. >> legally speaking, i think it would just be one defamation case out of many. >> reporter: love's defense was that it was the holmes lawsuit that publicized the tweet, not her. and that she had reason to believe her attorney had turned on her, though she learned later on she was mistaken. legal experts tell eyewitness news there are many issues holmes has to overcome. tweets are often gossip not taken for the truth. also whether courtney love's statements would be considered by the public as credible. this is miriam hernandez reporting for abc news. >> pretty interesting case. >> it really is. >> it's probably going to have to meet all the legal standards, and i'm no expert, but was there intended malice here, it's goin

. >> fred kaplan who writes about national security for slate, he wrote on friday, basically why edwardn't get any kind of clemency. one thing he said was he looked at -- said among other things, snowden leaked information about the nsa's interception, about nsa e-mail intercepts for intelligence and what is going on inside iran, and he concluded, he said these operations have nothing to do with domestic surveillance or spying on allies, not illegal, improper or immoral. exposing such operations has nothing to do with whistle blowing. sensor w i imagine you have a different take on that. >> the thing is, you can't look at this in a vacuum. the argument he should receive clemency because he revealed information about domestic spying ignores all the other material that he released. the fact is the nsa, the vast majority of what they do is foreign intelligence signal gathering. that's what they do. small part of that is anti-terrorism. if you look at the leaks, most have to do with legitimate intelligence gathering by the u.s. government. to sound parochial, i hate to be overly parochial,
