last month's deadly attack against a pakistani naval base near karachi put him near the top of that country's most wanted list. india wanted him dead too. he was a planner of the vicious 2008 coordinated terrorist attack in mumbai that killed 163. and just within the last week, secretary of state hillary clinton met with pakistani leaders to reboot relations between the two nations. in the wake of the bin laden raid and during that meeting, kashmiri who was on the list of five terrorists in pakistan that the u.s. wanted killed or captured by july. tonight defense secretary robert gates has not commented on this particular strike, but while traveling in afghanistan, he told diane sawyer these drone missions have been crucial in the war on terror. >> these drones have played a significant role in taking a lot of taliban leaders and trainers off the table. >> reporter: tomorrow gates will be visiting u.s. troops in east and south afghanistan. he wants to thank them and fight back against growing u.s. pressure to withdraw a large number of them this year. david? >> our thanks to mike boettcher le

last month, well-armed militants stormed an important naval base, in karachi, an operation that clearly required internal help. also last month, a brave journalist was tortured and killed almost certainly by the pakistani intelligence services, which does deny it. and of course osama bin laden could not have been happily ensconced in a villa in an army can tonement without some help from some elements of the pakistani military. the pakistani military has been trying to deflect attention from these problems by stoking anti-americanism at home, it has been trying to cozy up to china and thwart and sabotage any serious investigation into its problems. if it continues on this path, a path of conflict, isolation and geopolitical games, it will mean backwardness for pakistan. and it will mean no peace for afghanistan. let's get started. president karzai, thank you so much for joining me. >> well spoken. >> you know, mr. president, there was a big debate in the united states about what exactly the president should say, and there were some who felt he should have announced a slower withdrawal,

. >>> a shocking video of pakistani troops killing a young, unarmed man has outraged people in karachiedly on television. five paramilitary troopers have been arrested. the president has ordered a probe into the incident and human rights activists have condemned the killing. phil black joins us from islamabad with more details on this case. phil? >> reporter: yes. the reaction to the death of this young man here in pakistan has been very strong. it has caused a great deal of outrage here. that is partly because the death was caught on videotape and broadcast across pakistan's tv networks. we'll show you some of the video leading up to the point that the 17-year-old was shot at close rank by pakistani paramilitary forces. take a look. >> reporter: that video continues and it is disturbing. it shows him repeatedly falling to the ground, bleeding heavily, screaming for someone to take him to the hospital. earlier on the tape before he was shot, he can be heard pleading, again saying he is not armed. he's helpless, please don't fire. you can also hear members of the security forces shoot h

when he was in karachi and other pakistani cities, chowing down on kfc he ballooned up to over 200 pounds. he had this jaba the hut-like girth and this led to a lot of teasing in al-qaeda and they called him kfc and he didn't like it. and when daniel pearl was kidnapped by omar sheik, he bought ksm for the men to sell the captive to daniel pearl to him. and this is not as unusual as it's sound. captors are bought and sold inside the terror network. and he brought a film crew to the home where daniel pearl was held. and once the camera was up on the tripod and running he leaped up to the right shoulder of daniel pearl and began sawing away at his neck. i'm going to spare you the grisly details. it took 11 minutes for daniel pearl, my former wall street colleague to die. why did he do it? he did it because he hated the nickname kfc in part. he wanted to show even though he was fat, even though he was now in a senior leadership position, he could not only send people to kill and to die, but he could kill himself. he made -- he killed daniel pearl not because anything daniel pearl said or wro

it showed officers shooting 17- year-old sarfraz shah at close range, in a park in karachi. today's indictment was a rare example of the pakistani justice system taking on the country's powerful security apparatus. president obama won an important legal victory today on his health care overhaul. a federal appeals court in cincinnati ruled the government does have the right to mandate that americans buy health insurance. a number of other legal challenges to the mandate are still working their way through the federal court system. the issue is expected to end up before the u.s. supreme court. a wildfire in northern new mexico kept growing today and raised new concerns about the los alamos nuclear lab. fire crews battled erratic winds that have pushed the blaze across 108 square miles. and officials said they're checking air quality in case flames reach the lab's waste dumps and create toxic smoke. >> i asked our teams to deploy our high volume air monitors. we've had four of those out now and we have an additional seven i believe that are going out in the next day or so. the

i won't let his wife get up and talk about how much of that is in the karachi box is or hear judge fish talk about how much is in its path is probably for how much is all over his home. but he has been kind enough to share a lot of that with a period and we have much of it on display here. but that's when he first met richard nixon as a young man that will probably tell you a little bit about that. but he is a neighbor. broken flakier in yorba linda and he was a member of our board for quite some time before he went on the bench to her three years ago. but his wife in public service and in the legal profession began in 83 when he graduated from law school. he was a practicing attorney, very successful in private legal if. he was deputy da in los angeles. he was the youngest municipal court judge serving in glendale. you know him as a congressman. he served as secretary of commerce in washington is congressman and was head of her patent office. and then he came back here and a private debts and was drafted to the judiciary where he now serves. he has done not only rough edges, which was

and, of course he was responsible allegedly for the attack on the karachi naval base recently, attacks on previous pakistani leaders and all sorts of things that have really upset the apple cart in pakistan and relations between pakistan and the u.s. >> christiane, there's another big story i want to ask you about this morning. breaking news out of yemen, another terror hot spot. the president of that country who's ruled for decades has left to get medical care after he was hurt in a rocket attack. and this morning we're hearing there have been more attacks on the presidential palace and protests in the street. what does all this chaos mean for america's national security? >> well, it's vital for america's national security in fact it is really paramount right now because after al qaeda was degraded significantly in afghanistan, they've set up their beachhead in yemen. al qaeda on the arabian peninsula is there, and this kind of turmoil is, already, according to u.s. sources, having an effect on the fight against al qaeda. so this is a very, very important thing to watch, and finally,

was humiliating for the pakistanis, and then there was an attack on a pakistani naval station in u karachiagain, dem straighting sensitive military installations in pakistan may have been compromised by the taliban or related groups. so it has been a very bad month for the military. the general -- chief of army staff, you know, has -- i think it has been one of the worst times he has had. >> and real quick, peter s. there anything that needs to be done now to kind of break the impasse and turn things around, anything the united states could do regarding pakistan to change their behavior? >> i think one thing the united states could do is fewer drone strikes. last year there was a record number of drone strikes. not all of these are getting senior al qaeda leaders by any stretch. i think a more calibrated program that was not so consistent would go some way to repairing the breach between these two countries. >> thank you so much. as always. we appreciate your expertise. thank you. >>> here's your chance to talk back on one of the big stories making big news today. today's question, do poli

briefly because it suffered some really big embarrassments, the attack on the major naval base in karachi, to name two. could this be a move to reashirt authority and take revenge and do something back to the u.s.? >> well, there's a part of it. the pakistani army has problems. the attack on the naval base involved a number of al qaeda sympathizers within the navy. that was the most recent attack on the military installation that involved infill administration of the armed services, but it's not the only. the attack of the 2009 headquarters, and the attack on the dining hall where commandoes were dining, and the attacks on general ma sharia, all of these and numerous others involve both civilian as well as uniformed personnel in the armed services. the general himself has said he is quite concerned about the degree of radicalization that may have happened within the ranks of the armed forces. that's in addition to his padres helping the americans. >> thank you for your expertise in this area. thank you. >>> this is a mugshot we are about to show you of john edwards, former presidential ca

he reported that the naval place in karachi that was attacked was done so by al qaeda members of the navy of pakistan. human right watch said he was assassinated by members of the pakistan intelligence agency who previously had threatened to kill him. meanwhile, pakistan is chumming up to the chinese. sounds like pakistan is playing both sides on the war on terror. 7-10 americans believe we need to stop or decrease foreign aid to pakistan. we should stop foreign aid to pakistan until we know whose side they're on. we don't need to pay them to be unfaithful. they will do it for free, and that's just the way it is. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentleman from california rise? >> mr. speaker, i ask unanimous consent to address the house for one minute. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, the gentleman is recognized for one minute. mr. baca: mr. speaker, after a lifetime of service to the families and our nation, american seniors deserve the security of basic safety net like medicare and social security. sadly, the republican budget that the house approved in
