>> to broaden the conversation back to the decision to invade iraq, kofi annan said this was an illegal war, a war of aggression. so based under the nuremberg tribunal, what about accountability for that? amy goodman mentioned accountability. would you call it an illegal war right off the bat? mr. goss: in terms of strictly american legality, i know the authorization to use force, you had the initial authorization to use force against afghanistan in the fall, winter of 2001, and you had congress go on record essentially giving bush the authority to use force if he thought that was appropriate. and again, we should point out there was decent bipartisan support for giving bush's authority. hillary clinton, joe biden harry reid, john kerry, richard gephardt, etc., etc. so from a strictly american standpoint, i have a hard time viewing iraq as an illegal war. it is certainly -- where obama it was certainly more legal than president obama's use of force in libya without going to congress at all. >> i think we've been very clear in suggesting that this was a violation of international law. >>

this is an issue that kofi annan adopted a zero-tolerance policy that continues to be a challenge. just a few words about what you're doing about. >> clearly, since secretary-general kofi annan and the panel, where there were suggestions made to change how the organization handled these issues, a lot of progress has been made. we see now systemic approaches to fall on the issues, to track situations. but it's altered true that member states decided that this was indiana going to be their responsibility, it was going to be in the hands. to get to one point where you transfer to member states and is pretty much in your hands. so the secretary-general is looking into this now and member states are looking into this. probably there is need to take a second look at those recommendations and some that may come after experience, and try to tighten at that relationship with member states. it's a very difficult thing because again, this goes back to the question of a sovereign state that lends military to you, but they are always in the end under the responsibility under jurisdiction. so th

it's like kofi annan. there's some gave and tank in the ambulances made. what needs to be done is to keep the corporate sponsors happy in a financially powerful global analysed power of football. >> i don't think it's a question of keeping it happy. they need to do what they were pushing last week which was to finish and engage. they have been calling for f.i.f.a. that is not good enough. they cannot reform itself. they need to come out and be clear. they need to lay down conditions about what is going to happen. >> you mentioned a schism that demands reform what should the next president of f.i.f.a., in the developing world, do to ensure that football is developed from the grassroots upwards. >> we need to continue with the notions of pushing funding out to all parts of the world. we can't have a u.e.f.a. led f.i.f.a. focussing on the european football league. we need to make sure that the funds that go out go where they go. the new leader needs to continue on building. how long is it stay engine place for? >> personally i think sepp blatter should go as
