here the scots this group with me is gareth porter investigative journalist and author of this report kara thanks so much for being here tonight what more can you tell us in terms of the numbers in terms of what we were told or what congress was told in a meeting i was told by general petraeus virus is what you actually found in these official military documents where this story really begins when petrou was just having the new commander for u.s. troops and nato troops in afghanistan starts his round of media interviews oldest of two thousand term the first thing he goes almost is to the class of foreigners the sort of data showing that special operations forces are having almost superhuman success in killing and capturing telegram and so he puts out figures initially for the ninety day rule may through july but says. the s.o.f. night raids have captured one thousand three hundred fifty five taliban well i mean that's turns out to be a lie because when you find that the task force in charge of detainee affairs and if they're honest and put out a month by month. accounting for how many of t

i would trust anyone's intelligence on the libyan situation right now particularly with regard to kara's really he might recall that we were saying the view would be and i think this was a good faith effort to do you would be to safe fifty to sixty thousand casualties in iraq when it was probably closer to a quarter of a me and really isn't right it's very difficult to determine it in media res as it were in the middle of the battle so i wouldn't trust anyone here and least of all would i trust the government. in libya right now so if we want to what we start to segue into afghanistan i want to talk about yemen here but even you said that this is this is a quagmire this is a mistake we're doing here in libya you have to have a mission you have to have a call before you go in but we didn't have that but if there are this is goes to get it off you do leave and that's you know if you think about there for a moment that's really an if you will show me could offer you could stay forever. but what kind of goal is that you going to force khadafi to believe it would be the same in syria if you'r

. >> beth karas, a correspondent and former prosecutor, is covering the trial for "in session" on thetrutvecution's theory of the case. >> the open questions are, how was it done?% where wait done? why was it done? >> but the collective glaze in the courtroom after more than a week of droning scientific testimony, shattered quickly when cindy anthony, the accused' mother was first call back to the stand yesterday. what a story she had to tell. >> i almost dropped my pen. >> in unexpected testimony, the mother said it was she who had searched on the home computer for information about chloroform. >> i started looking up chlorofrm -- i mean, clore fill. that prompted me to look up chloroform. >> why is that important? the prosecution says ominous computer searches on topics like chloroform and neck breaking were made in the home months before the child went missing. it is the foundation of the argument fors premeditation in the death penalty case. now the mom is saying, she made at least some of those computer searches while researching whether leaves in the backyard were making her dog sick

. >>> beth karas is a correspondent for "in session" on trutv and a former prosecutor.anks for joining us. >> good morning. >> let me ask you about this superimposition of caylee's face over the skull. how hard did the defense fight to keep that out? >> oh, they fought very hard, lester. in fact, they feel it will be a point on appeal if there's a conviction in this case. however, the judge said, you know, this jury has seen photo after photo of the skull, and this is really not that grotesque. it helps to illustrate the witness' testimony about the duct tape fitting over the mouth and nose. there wasn't just one piece there were a few layers of duct tape the prosecution will argue. so it probably will be harmless error because it's not any worse than what they've already seen. >> things got very it technical, though, with the description of maggots the and flies. tell me how that works into the prosecution's narrative. >> it doesn't absolutely prove there was a body in the trunk but the witness said that it is consistent with the state's theory that casey had the body

we got the book, maybe we've got -- i think kara goldstein expressed it will. i don't think one should necessarily replace the other. i think that reading experience of the two-three, four hours, it's so magical that you can have a book that way but you can create another way in addition to that book. i mean, i've signed with phillip glass to do stemwork, and we signed if an app as well, which is perfect for a phillip glass, so if your writers -- some of your books helped. thes to this and others don't, and you don't necessarily need that. >> my question concerns platform, which you touched on earlier. in the realm of narrative nonfiction, you have an author who has a blog, is active on social media. at what point are you impressed by numbers? what does it take in terms of monthly visits to a blog? how many twitter followers? what makes you go, okay, this guy might be interesting? >> i don't know if you can put a number on it. when we have an author who comes in with a platform, and maybe is 2,000 people or maybe it's a million pain views, but whatever it is, w

. >> the prosecution's theory is that casey anthony murdered her body, put the body in the kara few daysisposed of it in the woods. before jeff ashton drilled on that, he made fun of the pig in the car which he says is a bad comparison with a little girl in the trunk in florida. >> why didn't you wrap your pigs in a blanket. i promised i'd say that, judge. but seriously, why didn't you wrap the pigs in a blanket. >> thank you for saying that. we needed it right now. >> laughter erupted in the courtroom. what some may consider a morbid joke. even casey anthony laughed, then covered her mouth with her hand. it was the beginning of a larger point. you would agree that this is not a fair representation of what caylee's body or what the trunk would have looked like with caylee's body in it because she was wrapped in a blanket, two bags and a laundry bag. you agree this is not an accurate description, right? >> if you're looking at the final product of decomposition, then that would be correct. >> that's not testimony the defense wants to hear from its own witness. but other testimony was even

kara finnstrom is following the story for us.ity blitz recently that may have led to this case being, well, big arrest. >> that's exactly right. as you mentioned james "whitey" bulger is now 81 years old. he managed to elude federal authorities for more than a decade and a half. but last night in santa monica, california, the fbi finally tracking down and in a way got him through his girlfriend. more on that in a minute. but here's why this 81-year-old is notorious in the boston area. the fbi had indicted him in 19 different murders. they say he led a crime syndicate and known to have a violent testimonier and known to always carry a knife. officials acted on a tip when they arrested bulger and his 60-year-old girlfriend, catherine elizabeth grieg. the fbi is crediting a publicity campaign for their capture. it centered on bulger's girl is friend who allegedly fled with him and wanted for harboring a fugitive. the ads focused on her specific habits, including the fact she liked to have a dental cleaning once a month and she frequ
