c-span: when you hear the name ernest lawrence, is that the lawrence livermore laboratory? >> guest: yes, it is. c-span: and located where? >> guest: that's located in california. and ernest lawrence was a berkeleyhy and he happened to visit tower house in 1936. he was just one of the many physicists who came for a conference there. he was already, in 1936, a formidable figure. at 1930, he had invented the cyclotron, the first atom smasher, and he was, you know, achieved international acclaim by then. c-span: what's this picture of? >> guest: that is a picture of, i think, the 60 inch cyclotron, which was an even larger atom smasher, which he then built at berkeley. and he had raised money for something called the rad lab, or the radiation laboratory at berkeley. it was a very, very famous physics laboratory where he was experimenting with high accelerated particle beams and very high voltage generators, which is essentially what the cyclotron was. and loomis and lawrence took an immediate liking to each other 1936. they literally became best friends over that weekend. and

we begin with lawrence silver. larry's the attorney for samantha geimer, polanski's rape victim.oman polanski dismissed. what happened in court today? >> what happened today was that polanski asked, consistent with what the court of appeal had suggested in their december decision, that he be sentenced in absentia and that would allow a hearing on the allegations, pretty well established, i think, by the documentary, that there was judicial as well as prosecutorial impropriety. >> larry: they're asking to sentence him to a year, three years, whatever, while he's not there. >> to sentence him in absentia. one of the arguments i suspect that is he's already been sentenced and this judge should merely confirm the sentence that was reached. >> larry: what did this judge rule today? >> he ordered briefing on the issue and set a hearing for january 22nd. >> larry: what does your client want? >> my client would like to have the case over. she's been enduring 32 years of relatively intense press coverage and interference with an effort to put this behind her and get on with her life. afte

you know, sir lawrence, we -- by then we had been four months with saddam. and you know, you can take different views and -- of the blix reports and hans blix obviously takes a certain view now, i have to say, in my conversations with him then it was a little different. but, you have to make a judgment, is this person really seriously cooperating with the international community or not. >> fine. >> and as we now know, incidentally, he wasn't. and, i do emphasize, also, the fact that he -- and there is also evidence in the iraq survey group, which is actually quite important, about what iraqi scientists were being told, by the vice president of iraq, he gathered them all together as the inspectors went in, and, as you know, the inspectors were supposed to be given all of the information and any materials they had, and what he was saying to them was, if you have any materials in your possession, you better not have. now... >> i understand it, you are right. this is indeed what happened. and the question is, whether or not it was -- would be possible to create

in lawrence, kansas, workers who investigate animal abuse have started carrying concealed guns at work. and they say the real risk, angry pet owners who aren't taking care of their animals. >> they're usually not very happy to see us. they don't think anything is wrong. or if there is something wrong, they don't want to admit to it. so they're usually not in a very good mood. >> it's important to have people here that can protect the public and our animals and make sure nothing bad is happening. >> the director of the hugh main society says while most calls are not dangerous, investigators are seeing more violence in their line of work. >>> it's late night's latest battle. only months ago nbc gave jay leno a primetime talk show and put conan o'brien in the top rated late night spot. but low ratings for both hosts could soon lead to a late-night shakeup not seen since david letterman bolted for cbs $$$ suspect has been arrested for the scare that shut down a terminal at newark airport. the charges he's facing and why authorities say for ducking under a rope. >>> the change of venue

to say it's anybody's race, lawrence, is an understatement. >> the conversation around the atlantic coast conference, we're almost to the mid-point of the conference season. i don't think anybody would have picked maryland and virginia to be on the top right now. >> how about our battle inside tonight. high school teammates just ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪(whi tun n't be h♪ >> bob: welcome back to georgia tech, everybody. inside that jacket huddle, the food lion starters for the home team, georgia tech 9-1 in this building, they only lost to florida state. wake forest can match that size with aminu and chas mcfarland. williams an outstanding defender, c.j. harris and the point guard is smith. this should be an outstanding matchup between the deacs and the jackets. it's great to have you with us for what should be a heck of a game. opening tip to the jackets. >> let's see what wake forest is going to do and they open up with a man-to-man. that's a good matchup, bob. >> bob: a lob to lawal. he bumps into aminu and gets trapped underneath. and bell nails a corner jump shot. first two tonight for d'andre bell

[laughter] but then intervening was a wonderful man, lawrence washington, his half-brother who was the master of mount vernon. that was the miles away from washington and lawrence said it was time to invite to this big tall teenager up to mount vernon. he was 16 when he started to come there and that is where he met sally fairfax and a very flirtatious wife of the man of the house down the road. for about one dozen years, sally flirted with him and tormented him. after he became a engaged to martha, she wrote him a letter saying are you inpatient to see the campaign over so you can embrace her? [laughter] he wrote her a pleasing letter because he is about to fight the indians and there may be a bullet with my name on it and they're probably will be but he could not resist. he wrote a blazing four page letter in which he simply said to you love me as much as i love you? i just want to know that before i march off to get shot. it was that letter that sally save for the rest of her life. so she also had a rather strong attraction to this tall muscular man, her husband was a when the shrim

it is that lawrence bing, our time is short and it is not our country, so the emphasis should be i like to call not just capacity but in confidence on their part and that has been my approach to it. so i certainly underscore, we and our doctrine and the reproaches it is way too much about hearts and minds and i think we lose a lot of resources that way. mark, i found your presentation fascinating but i have also read john nagl's book and i talked with john that link. learning to eat soup with a knife and of course is premise is that successful counterinsurgency is predicated on which is the better learning organization and i wonder if you could comment and your patient inside about the goal of leadership in this idea of learning organizations and help us to connect? >> that is a good question. i think there are aspects of the learning organization modeled that are very important and one of the points i make in the book is it was a big mistake to throw counterinsurgency out the window as the army basically did after vietnam and the marine corps did continue to do some construction. so i

host: lawrence mishel?waii guest: i think the major problem in front of us is the fact we have very unemployment and it will stay high for some time. air response to a financial crisis and policies that were overly reliant on markets without enough government regulation. the fact that we have a very high fiscal deficit right now is almost totally do two things. when you have a huge recession, not enough taxpayers paying money and money we spend a session -- and the savaging of the revenue base by the bush administration in the last administration. so, we will get the deficit under control as we get jobs, and so the real problem right now is getting people jobs. host: let's turn to jobs. a question for both of you. what is the government's role in job formation? guest: might be right now, when you have a private sector that is totally -- my view right now, when you have a private sector totally dead and monetary policy at full blast and we still not getting very robust growth, not getting very good job growt

. >> sarah lawrence freedman will ask you about the september dossier. on for a moment to another aspect and that is you set on a number of occasions in 2002 indeed in early 2003 that iraq was a test of the international community's ability to deal with both wmd and terrorism. if i could just quote from your monthly press conference on the 18th of february 2003. the stance that the world takes now against saddam is not just vital in its own right, it is a huge test of our seriousness in dealing with the twin threats of weapons of mass distraction and terrorism. can you tell us how you saw those links, and again, what evidence you had that there were links? because as you know, the butler committee has established that there weren't direct links at that time between saddam and al qaeda. >> the link was, in my mind, at that time, this, that there was a proliferation threat that was potentially growing, because we had in iran, we have north korea, we have libya, we had iraq obviously. but with a lot of emphasis on a.q. khan activities. my fear was and i wou

sir lawrence? >> thanks. well, just following on from that, we've talked about these auctions and effectively the two in play were the number two and number three. >> number one was assumed. >> number one was assumed that we would not actually go out of our way to make it hard for them to conduct the operations. number two was a significant air and maritime and number three was a division. and you've given us some indications of the pressures, considerations that argued for a division. how were the different options evaluated because you've also indicated that they had different political implications as well as military implications. what was the actual process by which you assess which of these we'd like to go for? >> well, i think in terms of what actually was achievable. i think it was assumed that we would want to be helpful to the united states in the situation. and, therefore, how would we go about offering as much as was consistent with all of the other pressures that we faced. >> was there a paper at

assume, liberal justices and then possibly justice kennedy who did write the opinion in the case lawrence v texas which was the case that overturned the remaining sodomy laws that were on the books in many states. across the united states. and he wrote a fairly sympathetic opinion toward gay rights so some people interpret that as a sign that perhaps he might be open to considering gay marriage even though in general we identify him with a conservative group of justices. >> suarez: one precedent we're likely to hear about is loving versus virginia which struck down bans against people of different races marrying. why is that germane in this case? >> well, for a couple of reasons. yes, that was in 1967. it's a landmark case. well, for one thing, what's interesting is that more people who were polled at that time, more americans were opposed to inter-racial marriage than are opposed to gay marriage today. which is interesting. because one of the questions about this case is, is this pushing the court to get out too far ahead of where public opinion is? if you look at just the numbers in pol

i think sir lawrence would like to ask a very short question, and then we will break. >> we have been focusing on basra and the south in our discussion of responsibilities, but security in iraq is going to depend a lot more on what is happening in baghdad. that was going to be much more of an american responsibility. >> we had some people there, but a very small number of highly specialist people. >> we have heard a lot about the concerns about how well the americans were prepared for this [unintelligible] was there ever a point where you thought or discussed with colleagues the possibility that the problems that may well result, whatever the quality of the case of weapons of mass destruction and so forth, meant that the occupation of iraq would represent an unacceptable level of risk? >> i referred earlier to a note i wrote to the prime minister, i think it was in march of 2002. i referenced the problem with iran. and i think in that same letter, i pointed out that we had never successfully identify that stage someone who might replace saddam hussein. there was real concern about wha

. >> i am jill lawrence from " politics dailyment i am wondering what you think about the senator healthcare bill and whether it should be passed as a way to resolve the deficit , tessen the deficit? >> i will go first. we have different views on this matter anyway. from my standpoint, i thought that both bills failed to restrain growth in government. and therefore, i think that should have been set aside and waited until we had a budget put together. that is how i feel. we are going to have to look at health care in our budget to see how we can attempt to recommend saving money, because that is the issue. if you're going to try to use it right, you have to try to bend the curve, and i don't think those bills do d that. but that is for a later day and another time. >> we do differ on that. i had hoped, and maybe still hope, that the house and senate will come together around a health care bill. the bills being contemplated would not add to the long-run deficit. they would actually slightly ameliorate it, but that is not a really important part of the long-run future problem. >> dave mcco

if we can come back in no more than ten minutes. >> thank you. >> well, to restart, sir lawrence? >> back to budgets. we went into a campaign with a certain set of assumptions in march 2003. we were there for six years. you obviously weren't secretary of defence for all that period, but you were there for a significant period afterwards. how did you find that you had continuing discussions presumably with the chancellor about how you managed the budgetary position, created by iraq. how did you manage that process? >> i think it is right to say that we did not have any difficulty at all in securing the extra spending specifically for the operations. the treasury, i think, by then were used to the process that we had been through in relation to afghanistan, sierra leone, i guess prior to that in the balkans. so the extra money for operational capability was available. i indicated earlier some difficulties over how you sustain some of this equipment thereafter. >> but in terms of the extra funding 9 for the actual operations, what we discussed earlier, the relationship between the ge

and that was mutual miles away from very bold washington and lawrence realize there was time for this big tall teenager after mount vernon. and he was about 16 when he started coming there and that's where he met sally fairfax, this very flirtatious wife of the man who had the house down the road. and so, for a dozen years, sally flirted with him and tormented him and so forth. so after he married and became engaged to martha, she brought them a letter saying, you have to today campaign overseas can embrace mrs. custis. and it just treaded in this blazing letter because he was about to march into the wilderness to fight the french and the indians. and you thought there may be a bullet out there with his name on it and there really might be. so he just couldn't resist and broke his blazing four-page letter in which he simply said, do you love me as much as i love you? i just want to know that before and march off to maybe get shot. and it was letter that sally saved for the rest of her life. so she too had i think a rather strong attraction to this tall muscular man. her husband was a

Ñicaller: thank you. please turn down your television.aller: i did not understand the question. host: you are on the air with our guests, what is your comment? caller: i felt that the debate between the president and republicans was fairly good. i was just wondering why the republican party has gone in lockstep against everything that president obama has attempted to get through? host: let's go to david. guest: two major reasons. one, they genuinely disagree with the things that the president has proposed. clearly, there is an ideological gap between both sides. republicans also decided early on that it was good politics for them to raise a unified opposition pushing politically into the midterm election to say no. a chance that any party on the other side from the president to make gains in the congress in that first election, a is a historical pattern that goes back 100 years. the party out of the white house in the first midterm election, that is the only way that people mad at the president can express their opposition. host: what mig

lawrence the texas -- v. texas dealt with sodomy laws. there were laws on the books banning sodomy.those laws. in each of these cases, the court had articulated -- and in other cases as well -- that implicit in the constitution, even though it is not directly stated, there is a right to behavioral privacy, a right to marriage, a right of a woman to have certain control over her reproductive choices. other sorts of rights that have been articulated as well link to this right that you have a certain privacy right over your body, over your life. . . host: about 15 more minutes with david masci, who is now with the ku center on religion and public life, he senior research fellow, talking about the case coming up in california on same-sex marriage. the case will be heard today. here is mobile, alabama, ruth, republican caller. caller: i think it is interesting that they do not ask for the right of matrimony, especially holy matrimony. the derivation of the word "matrimony" is the same as the record mother. -- as the root word mother. matrimony implies joining together for the situation f

>> i just like to talk very briefly about the military campaign itself before i think sir lawrence wants to get into the more specialized assets of that aspect. basically, the campaign went extraordinarily well. was over much quicker than anticipated. is that right the? >> i think so, yes. i mean, i think extraordinary combination of very high technology and basic successful soldiery. >> was part of the reason it went so fast was the other side put up less of a fight that had been expected? >> i think the planning for what was described by the americans was in effect based warfare was very successful. they were able to target with astonishing precision the enemy to the extent that quite quickly large number some iraqi soldiers in various places simply went home. had the coalition's military intelligence about the enemy turned out to be accurate? >> not entirely, because i was certainly led to believe that the republican guard in particular was relatively sophisticated and effective military unit. but i think what it demonstrated, perhaps in contrast with the first gulf war, was the advan

miller, that's why he's presiding in the chair, became a fan of paula, as john lawrence, her counterpart reagan and john paul ii. had a strong perspective, very innovative in her orientation in terms of solutions and a beautiful, beautiful smile. it is with great sadness that all of us received the news of her passing, and to her mother, i said, we were shocked by it in a state of disbelief and especially for someone so vibrant and full of life, with brilliant intellect again and this strong personality and -- to leave us so young. she left us but she has made her mark. she's a person we will never forget because of her leadership skills and because of her friendship. so it is with a great respect, admiration, sadness, and affection that i extend to pau la's family -- to paula's family the sympathy and condolence of the congress and i join the distinguished lead for the doing system of i extend condolences to you, mr. leader, i know what a great partner she was to you as you lead the republicans in congress. she was here for everyone because as the leader said she loved this institution.

my co-producers, co-executive producer of the film, lawrence, are tremendous supporters of citizens united over the many, many years that we have been friends and i just can't thank him enough for standing by me through this case, through this film. jim baugh, our first lawyer who helped us get to the supreme court. he is one of our best first amendment lawyers in the country and then again, most importantly the members of our organization, the members of citizens united across the country, the over half a million members that we have who support us day in and day out, and our board of directors, it is an incredible honor to have their support and then of course my family, my wife susan, my dad is here today. it is a great victory for us. i know it has been agonizing for the past few days or few months waiting for this decision, waiting and waiting and waiting but a it is an amazing thing to have lived through it for years and be told by the bureaucrats at the federal election commission you can't do that. you have no first amendment rights and i think today is a wonderful day to tell the

sir lawrence asked you to what ℠ the use of the intelligence material in the public domain, in that quotationsn't it a little bit surprising that the jrc chairman who had led or co-lead the work on the previous dossier wasn't consulted on the new paper that was also using intelligence material and wasn't even copied to him in the draft? >> was copied to him in draft? >> according to your evidence to the foreign affairs committee i don't know perhaps i was -- i didn't see it in the final form he wasn't consulted in the paper. perhaps i'm wrong in entering from that he didn't see it in the draft. >> it's just at the time the systems we put in place subsequently as i say nothing like that would have happened without going through, not as the other intelligence agency leaders as to whether he did as i said he was at the meetings and was aware he was being done. i just don't know whether those who are putting it together whether he was with sis at that time would have sent it to them. >> right. they should have done. >> and i think that this -- i think that is a lesson that was learned very very q

lawrence peter, the educator who came up with the peter principle, once said -- "democracy is a process by which the people are free to choose the person who will get the blame." mr. president, in a sex, that's the people's right. in a democracy, the people elect us to represent them and in a democracy, the people lejt us to be account -- elect us to be accountable. but the chairman and ranking republican member of the budget committee have come up with a process to shift the blame. they have come up with a process for congress to punt our accountability away. they have come up with a process to outsource congress's central fiscal responsibilities to a new budget commission. i can see that a commission may be attractive to some. it's the easy way out. senators can blame everything on the commission. senators can say, the commission made me do it. but we should not shirk our responsibility. rather, we should do the job that our constituents sent us here to do. and we already have a process for doing so. it's called the budget process. the chairman and ranking republican member of the imu
