over that, should libby have been convicted? i do not think so. the president cleared him of going to jail, but would not give him a pardon. i think that created a rift between the president and cheney. cheney felt this was a political battle that was going on, and we should not leave our will bid on the field. host: why did the president not pardon him? guest: i think the president that libby had lied, that he was guilty, and did not want to pardon him. host: one of our viewers -- what is your relationship with dick cheney? guest: i met him when he was first the deputy white house chief of staff under gerald ford in 1974. i knew him when he was a member of congress and secretary of defense, and certainly when he was vice president, and i would say he is someone that i know quite well. i generally agree with his views. he is a conservative. i am a conservative. friend? all you what he wrote in the book. he says for fred barnes, a man with firsthand knowledge of many of the events in this book. it does not say fred barnes, one of my closest and dea

a new libby will not be possible until they're all uncovered. -- a new libya will not be possible untilhey are all uncovered. >> let's turn to some other news. the u.n. is ready to release its report on a raid on a turkish- led flotilla. >> a copy of the report says that united nations has concluded that blockade of the gaza strip is a legal and the raid was excessive and unreasonable. nine turks were killed in the raid last year as the flotilla tried to break the blockade of the gaza strip. it had been labeled illegal and one body -- and one body and says that it was legitimate. -- and one un body says that it was legitimate. >> the report will satisfy israel more than turkey. the panel found that the naval blockade of the gaza strip is legitimate because it is aimed at stopping the smuggling of arms by sea. it is legally benefit happens in international waters. that is something that the turks had disputed. they did say that they used excessive and unreasonable force during the raid. it was quite hard on the flotilla organizers who said they had behaved in a reckless manner. they also

so many controversies, the scooter libby pardon. then you have to deal with iraq and water building, that gets reduced to an interview because of television time constraints. >> it's clear he doesn't forgive president bush for his refusal to pardon scooter libby. >> maybe we can put up video of the former vice president giving one of these interviews. he's 70 years old, he's had a lot of heart problems. his heart is not pumping on its own. he looked frail. he looked old. do journalists go a tad easier on him perhaps? >> no, i don't think so. i think he looked pretty good considering. he always has a quiet way of talking, howie. i think given the wealth of materials and questions to ask, i don't think he got a break because of his age or his condition. >> fair enough. let me get a break and when we come back, the president tries to step on that nbc politico debate and gets stomped on by the republicans. the white house says that's a nonstory. is anyone buying that? no, it was good because you told us so. the chevy model year wrap up.

sloan and libby so are ten years old they're twins. at the time of the best one school siege they were in before. but they still remember every minute of the distant events of september two thousand. when there was a child recall that their son went this realize the kind of man one of the terrorists was here and there you fired it signifies. on the first of september two thousand and four salonen the free so were true young to start school. with in a small town like this lawn at the beginning of a new school year is a great occasion to slum in the research for a moment children. the first place. we're told that all of the girls should wear school uniforms on september first that's a brown dress and a white apron. what if they decided at that and that occasion they wouldn't invite their mothers to take part in the festivities she asked me if i had to go to school to recover emma certainly wouldn't want you around we're adults already. i touched my lips with my fingers. as if sending a kiss to my daughter. i thought when she returned hom

do but what they're thinking of some punishment and he was talking about that quite openly what mr libby is especially asked for those people much more sober and who are much more pragmatic i don't think they will be thinking in this terms on the contrary for example simply leaving me pensive remember where their chair of of the party and who wouldn't mind to join coalition headed by newton only if one said to me years they will change their roles but you know she believes that probably this is the push to restart negotiations and she's expecting for a new plan or is new york to do whatever he can to restart negotiations with it because only negotiations can save some heart as they believe from. the. recognize independence. israel is facing growing isolation in the middle east and the spotlight give me the right as for a. turkey had been one of israel's most reliable partners for decades positive for a way since started in one nine hundred forty nine when turkey became the first muslim country to recognize the state of israel just five years ago israeli foreign ministry described drew at

surrounding cheney the people who surrounded cheney or david addington and john hannah and scooter libby and they tell dick cheney what dick cheney wants to hear george tenet told dick cheney what dick cheney wanted to hear oh yes it's working mr vice president we're getting great information and we're stopping terrorist attacks that is utter bull they didn't stop anything through inherent enhanced interrogation techniques have that from some of the most respected people in the f.b.i. and the intelligence community so i can't fault big cheney for not knowing the truth because he couldn't know the truth he's trapped he's trapped in his own military but the truth is the methods don't work and they rebound to your discredit and they recruit as you said for your enemy dick cheney is asked what would happen if an american were captured in iran and what would happen if they waterboarding because they thought he was a threat to the state of iran and so forth he just skirted around the question what he really said was if you listen closely americans are better than anybody else in the world amer

they should be looked at in the context of the rock that was a temporary one as it turns out where libby essentially tried to get itself off the sanctions that had you know they suffered for a decade or so and to be allowed to trade in the international community the cost was very high i guess that shows that collaboration with the united states does not guarantee that you'll be able to continue in power the allegation is that al qaida is very heavily nested into m.t.c. if this group actually ends up being the government of libya they came in at the barrel of the u.s. bombers guns so you know it's going to be hard for me to imagine that they're going to exercise any independence from the united states i would imagine that the cia is very well represented in the n.t. you see already. in the wake of the documents seized from moammar gadhafi compound the council of europe is meeting on wednesday to look deeper into allegations the cia kept secret prisons on european soil and investigation in two thousand and six a by swiss politician dick marty first uncovered evidence of enhanced interroga

on friday right now the libby is in the limelight isn't it with president obama meeting the country's interim leadership what's happening on that school. that's right there was a high level meeting at the u.n. taking place on libya and u.s. president barack obama did address those in attendance dozens of countries were there including the libyan transitional council and president obama took the opportunity to sort of talk about what he calls the successes of the international coalition in libya he said that. the international community basically made libya a better place by removing moammar gadhafi from power and that the world will stand with a post could offie libya but not all see not all of those in attendance and not all members of the united nations see this situation the same way russia for example believes that nato might have circumvented certain laws that were written within the resolution that allowed for a no fly zone over libya resolution adopted by the security council and russia along with many other countries believe that the u.s. and some western european countries ex
