what they're doing now is secretary panetta and other fls are calling there are counterparts in south kree. they're also making sure they have the intelligent aspects. surveillance analysts to make sure they don't get surprised if conditions in north korea change. this was the scenario that some military officials really feared. the officer who runs u.s. forces korea warned the u.s. senate back over the summer that kim jong-il's death could make north korea a more, make it more of a military threat. he said the son now has an imperative to sort of play indicate the hard liners. the military hard liners in north korea. he said that combined with his youth and inexperience increases the likelihood of some sort of miscalculation and makes the son in the short term less predictable. >> and chris, the unpredictability that is the giant question mark. i'm not sure they have a clear answer. but you have a country that has six or maybe 10 or 12 nukes. it is the concern that he may do something provocative in the region or is it perhaps that they would go back into the proliferation and the arms, t

but then i weave into fiction and kree creates a special bran. if i don't do my home work, i have nothing to say. >> where do you draw the line? >> i draw the line like i was saying a minute ago. do you want to watch an execution for research purposes, i would say no. i did not take notes during that or anything. i was there for the family. i've never really written about it either. i wouldn't do -- i wouldn't do anything -- let's say a forensic pathology says take the scalpel, try the y incision this time. i would never do it. that's a real person. they don't want a crime writer experimenting on their dead body, nor do their relatives want that. i have to have certain barriers that i feel i don't go beyond. >> you had a very, very troubled childhood. 5 years old your father left. your mother suffered from terrible depression. >> if you had me for a daughter, you would be down, too. >> you and your brother spent time in a foster home and you were sexually molested by a patrolman. all this, you know, any of those thing was have been unsettling for

one of the most potent job kree ags earlier in the year and we have slumped off since then.is joining me. there has to be a psychological uplifting to be below the 9.0% mark. >> absolutely. we've been there for so long. politicians on both side of the aisle reference 9% unemployment and now they can't because we are below it. the question is, is it going to stay there? the government sector keeps cutting jobs, private sector, small, media with almost 13.5 million people unemployed. more than 40% have been out of work for 4% or longer but one month is not a trend make. bottom line, better than expected, i point out every month, people that have dropped out of the labor force, that have given up looking for work, they are not counted in the unemployment rate. so in my opinion it's not a totally true accurate reading. last month we saw men, their situation got better because more men got hired whereas more women stopped looking for work and they are not counted in today's numbers. >> also, when we look at these numbers we talk about, which jobs were created, what sector? and yo

. >> you were kree cerecently cal ban of the florida a&m.students who weren't doing anything if you suspend the band? >> we have a lot to deal with in the terms of higher education, but until you can figure out how do we operate very differently with these groups, one of the suggestions can you look at -- this is a common practice with f fraternities and sororities. if can you start over with a fresh group, you'll have some break with those negative traditions. other thing a part of all of these hazing case sthaz s is th have to put more on the onus of the students who are part of these organizations. that's part of the veil of secrecy the president talked about there. they don't feel like they have to say anything, just say i'll stay out of it. but everybody has something to lose when people don't speak. we've got to let students know there is a consequence for everyone who is a member of these groups if they are quiet about it. >> since the death of robert champion we've learned about other allegationed incidents of hazing at that universi

to show he means business, the russian president deme kree medvedev has opened a new anti-missile radarorders poland. from there, russian missiles could easily strike nato sites across europe. the reason for moscow's concern, u.s. plans to put anti-missile interceptors in poland, romania and turkey, the u.s. says to combat possible strikes from iran and north korea, not to threaten russia. the director of the russia and eurasia program for international studies. he joins me now. could spark nuclear war? really? >> well, t.j., i think that's taken a little bit out of context. the russian general made those comments a couple of weeks ago. but he was talking about the possibility of -- not a border -- an area bordering russia that would be central as asia. that is not so much tied to the missile defense issue. >> still, some pretty strong samts here. you have to take these type of things seriously, but how much of this has to do with internal politics going on in russia and moscow right now? >> well, you're exactly right. on one hand there is a genuine difference between us and the russian
