he was taken to a hospital in leavenworth. he is said to have cuts and bruise but was wearing a helmet and it could be a lot worse. >>> now the story of a woman who wanted to make a small difference and ened up starting a huge movement. about a week ago a woman at steaming bean coffee shop wanted to pay for the next person. >> people are wanting to be part of something, knowing that their five cents or a dollar goes to a greater good. they might not be able to change the economy, but they can change one person's whole day. >> when the store owner told her what she had started, he says she just broke down in tears. updating some of our top stories, president obama once again pushing congress to pass a health care reform bill and

part of that spent, hard time in leavenworth. here comes the question.e nfl? i think michael vick should have another chance to play in the nfl. if he shows remorse and ties his work with the humane society and he can help wipe out dogfighting. if he can do all that, i say let him play. joining me to talk about this, my colleague jane velez-mitchell. jane, host of "issues with jane velez-mitchell," coming your way in about 12 minutes. you may disagree on this one. but i want to read a quote from wynne fasell. this is the president and ceo of the humane society. and he says basically it's not about continued punitive treatment of michael vick. the goal has been to eradicate dogfighting in america and around the world. so if michael vick can help eradicate dogfighting with a long-term effort you tie the rest of his career with his work with the humane society, then i say he should play. jane, your thoughts. >> okay. first of all, this was not some momentary lapse in judgment. this was a guy with a $130 million contract over ten years who decided to engage

command and staff college of pakistan, as well as the command and general staff college of fort leavenworth. he has held many key posts in the pakistan military apart from his operational commands at all levels. he was director general of military operations and involved with a lot of very key issues dealing with india during his tenure. then he headed a corps and was promoted and brought to army headquarters as the chief of general staff, and then took over from the prior to general as chief of army staff. to his credit, he is the only army jeep in pakistan's history who actually resigned in june army chief who resigned on principle after having put forward his views on a number of issues which did not sit well with the prime minister of the time. rather than doing what other army chiefs have done in the past, which was to effect a coup, he decided it was in the interests of the army and pakistan that he would resign. thereby, general musharraf was elected, and the rest, as you know, is history. today, because of his very special experience and because of his knowledge of u.s.- pakistan re

you think about prisons, you think of attica, you think leavenworth. he was in leavenworth.iety. lost over $100 million. it gets to a point right now where it's not about anything else but compassion. where's your compassion? he's done his time. >> but stephen, what do you say to folks who will say, he didn't stay there long enough, he got off easy, got a lighter sentence. >> get over it. >> he shouldn't be able to come out and do -- >> get over it. the reason i say get over it is you and i didn't make that decision. neither did they. the system made that decision. he went to court. you understand he got convicted of this crime. a judge sentenced him to this crime. last time i checked we honor it. we honor it with murderers. we honor it with rapists. we honor it with child molesters. we've got to honor it with him too. >> why do you think nfl teams aren't knock his door down right now? >> because they're scared of p.e.t.a. and other animal rights activists and the court of public opinion. that could ultimately affect your bottom line. especially in this economic recession, y

general staff college at fort leavenworth. he has held many key posts in the pakistan military, apart from his operational commands, at all levels, he was director general of military operations, and involved with a lot of very key issues dealing with india, during his tenure. then, he headed a corps and was then promoted, brought to army headquarters as the chief of general staff, and then, took over from general abdul wahid as the chief of army staff. to his credit, he is the only army chief in pakistan's history who actually resigned on a matter of principle, after having put forward his views on a number of issues, which did not sit well with the prime minister of the time, mr. navaz sharif and rather than doing what other army chiefs have done in the past, which was to effect a coup, he decided that it was in the interests of the army, and pakistan, that he would resign. and there by, general musharaff was elected by prime minister sharif and the rest, as you know, is history. today, because of general karamat's special e

leavenworth. he lost it all. lost millions. donte' stallworth, on the other hand, in a drunk driving incident kills a man and he's going to get 30 days. the nfl seems to hit him harder. is that the way it goes? >> it seems that way simply because, again, a man was killed. i believe the man was a 59-year-old man coming home from work in the middle of the night. and obviously, he was under the influence and ultimately he killed the guy. i think that the fact that it was near a highway might have had something to do with some degree of leniency, that donte' stallworth ultimately received. but the bottom line is it comes down to this. a man was killed. in vick's case it was dogs. and you're talking about a guy, where donte' stallworth ultimately spent about 24 days in prison. vick spent 23 months in a federal penitentiary. and i think that's why you see so many people in an uproar saying enough is enough already. get off this guy's back and let him resume his career. >> let's get some calls in before the break. we'll take more afte

we put him in leavenworth prison. we put him in home confinement. we took everything away from him. and rightfully, a lot of it was deserved. enough is enough. this guy deserves to make a living. this is what he does, mike. >> but don't you think, arnie, any missteps and michael vick will forgo the opportunity? isn't that what the commissioner's saying here? >> that's fine, he can say that, but don't tell me anytime between now and six weeks. what, if you're in a good mood in the middle of of september you'll reinstate him? we want to know now. leave everybody in limbo that's unfair to him. >> michael markarian in on this. michael, do you agree with the commissioner? are you wokay with michael vick playing in the nfl again? >> well, mike, the humane society of the united states has not taken a position on whether michael vick should be reinstated. that's up to the commissioner. we have taken a position that dogfighting is a terrible bus, and we want to remain focused on the bigger picture. we want to put a stop to this animal abuse, and we want to give michael vick an opportunity to

that time fortunately he attended the international military education training institute at fort leavenworth, kansas. there, leaders of friendly countries come to learn from our military how a military should operate in the modern era, where military is under civilian control, where human rights and individuals are respected, where the army does not control the political process, where the army is subordinate to and protector of the population rather than one which runs the population. during his first tenure, as i said, he faced many challenges and they were successful. he chose as his -- as his running mate mr. bodiono, who we believe raises expectations of accelerating reform in the second term of s.b.y. bodiono is a technocrate with no party affiliation. he possesses an impeccable track record for clean governance, he's an advocate, as s.b.y. is, of market-led growth with government acting as an impartial regulator rather than as a state actor. the pair, s.b.y. and bodiono, campaigned on a ticket of clean governance and reforms to promote broad-based economic growth. this was a vote by t

i do not know why we could not build a prison that holds them, say, in leavenworth, kansas. i do not understand -- i do get the military tribunal for national security issues. a u.s. court -- we are able to do this. i just do not understand why. guest: that is a very good point. you nailed it. it is a political discussion, of course. this is washington, and when you are talking about complicated issues, national security issues, there is a little bit of posturing on both sides. but it is true. there are terrorist in prisons now in the united states. and ones that we consider pretty dangerous that were convicted in u.s. courts and are being held safely in u.s. prisons. and president obama has made this point himself. we have done it, we can do it, we can do it safely. and some of the outcry of how can we possibly bring these people here is just a little bit of a canard. host: the person who gets the first question typically at these briefings, this week from -- this tweet-- guest: he wants to get me in trouble. every president has his own unique style. it is a very difficult

should the nfl suspend him on top of the time he has already spent in leavenworth and also under houserrest? call in. 1-877-tell-hln is the number. this one is just for fooig, the story we brought you last week. a husband accused of murdering his wife on a cruise ship. it sounded like this great story. they had reunited. they're high school sweethearts. they're celebrating on this cruise, both turning 55. the quote is that he killed her with his bare hands. so we'll get to that for you. also this. this is new coming in. chris brown again beat his girlfriend rihanna. he's already admitted to that. well, now he is coming with an apology. richelle, i had a chance to see it. about a two-minute apology. >> apparently it's on his my space page and spread to other websites as well. >> you know it's going to spread like wildfire. it's about two minutes. he says the right things. it is the right tone. i'm a little -- what do you say? he's reading it. you can clearly see he's looking down and looking at cue cards or something like that. i guess you want to get it right. obviously you'd prefer so
