at the united nations from ninety five to two thousand and three during the negotiations for the lockerbie trial she gave me first her take on what this new counter counterterrorism strategy really nene's take a listen. these are platitudes nothing is going to change quite the opposite our policies on the ground are making the situation much worse we are firing up bitter resentments in the moderate arab community all the way through the spectrum to the to the extreme islamists. and. what evidence do you have about what do you see as as really demonstrating that well what's happening in libya particularly is. is is causing these problems and how like what is an example of that ok. we have now video documentation are on the ground from libyan refugees who are fleeing the rebel strongholds and there they have been capturing. atrocities committed by libyan rebels on their camera phones right and the video documentation shows that the libyan rebels are guilty of can of crimes on par with the c'mere ruesch beheadings castrations. young man was beheaded was was castrated and his eyes gouged out t

. >> the requirement is that free water heater in the tab for of lockerbie in -- or bottled water be available. they do not have plumbing for it, so that is the issue. they have water coolers, but i have a question i wanted to ask about this, and it has more to do with something that is a little out zero left-field near a good -- left field. the issue of of the washing hands is related to a healthy gain the issue of washing hands is related to healthy eating, but it has gone to the wayside. we are either taking not for making them functional, and i would like somebody to tell us about that. it is related to when we are going to talk about screen cleaning products. there are a lot of hand cleansers' people use that are not the best environmentally, so sometimes we have to get to that. >> thank you. any other comments? [calling codevotes] >> thank you superior -- thank you. the next item was moved and seconded on june 14 as well. a report from the budget committee. goo>> they gave it a positive recommendation. >> the resolution in? >> i am trying to figure out how long it is. i am just

more in royalties because he was having trouble meeting pain and secluding is obligation on the lockerbie bombing and that by the way is a story that i think if you look at it carefully itself looks very confused as to whether libya was actually involved or was framed for that so he's been put in an untenable position on a whole bunch of different fronts and i think that he was a very and i think they decided that at this point this was their opportunity to get rid of him. that's a very very lucrative i think absolute right and you're right you know that was his absolute right robert real quickly we just have a minute left of the new defense authorization bill basically says that we can have a war as a last terrorist on earth is dead perpetual war how does a serving interesting states well i'm not sure it serve the interest of the american people and it may serve the interests of certain ruling elements of the american government but if it is so to try to sell it not to be very good to be american people it means more money and it means greater and pageant around the world and frankly man

actually going on on the ground in libya now you know former cia asset who covered libya back during lockerbie to coming forward with a few observations and i want to just put a few of them up on the screen and we can talk about them she says nato have been grossly deceived and should seize at once for protecting these rebels u.s. tax dollars or training a new taliban to intimidate the libyan people into submission well the west plunders libya as well susan lindauer a former cia asset she also says cia operatives working side by side rebel forces driving around trucks is proof that u.s. forces are already on the ground and active participants in the atrocities she says video shows several dead libyan soldiers with their throats cut lying in the back of a truck these killings violate the geneva conventions of war which protect anime soldiers after capture some pretty interesting things there these are things that no one really seems to be talking about i guess i want to get your comment on this. well i would say that you know done a filler of the amnesty international spent three months investi

she is a former cia asset she covered libya at the united nations during the lynagh oceans for the lockerbie trial so she really has a lot of insight into libya thank you so much for being with us now first of all with this new counterterrorism strategy i'm just curious if you have any. reactions to what changes i mean afghanistan and pakistan are still the target you know the targets al qaeda it's all the same stuff so do you think resources will be just redeployed from afghanistan and other areas i think that it is. i'm very disappointed in president obama for thinking that politics that the platitudes are going to address the terrorism issue when i see a stewing is creating more terrorism through our policies in libya and yemen i think that our actions speak louder than words that adage holds true on anti-terrorism we are firing up islamic fundamentalists and. we are not our actions are not proactive they are not problem solving we're actually making the situation much worse do you think that that's going to continue could as we hear obama give plans for send troops to pull out of afghani

let us remember who left the lockerbie bomber out early as well. we need to get out of libya. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady's time has expired. the gentleman from florida. mr. rooney: i yield one minute to the distinguished gentleman from ohio, the speaker of the house. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from ohio, the speaker, is recognized. the speaker: let me thank my colleague for yielding. let me say that i'm disappointed that we have reached this point here today. mr. speaker, it didn't have to come to this. nearly 100 daysgo the president initiated a strike against libya. went out in consultation from -- without consultation from the congress and without prior explanation to the american people. then as now we all supported the removal of the regime of libya, a regime that was slaughtering and is slaughtering its own people. yet rather than seek regime change from the start, the president chose to follow not lead. and pursued a strictly humanitarian mission under the banner of the united nations with no plan for colonel gaddafi's removal. so at the outset

accused in the past of supporting international terrorist groups like the ira and those behind the lockerbie bombing. this is the first time that proceedings have been initiated against him. an arrest warrant from the international criminal court increases the pressure on moammar gadhafi, but it doesn't mean he's about to face justice. any country accepting the icc's jurisdiction is obliged to arrest him if he shows up there. one more reason now the safest place that moammar gadhafi could be is in tripoli. chris? >> thank you. hitting an important milestone sunday as the battle for libya drags on. dana lewis is in tripoli, libya's capital, with the latest for us. >> reporter: good morning, chris. we heard two very loud explosions in tripoli this morning. rebels in nato are claiming some progress in the capital. critics say progress has been painstakingly slow. >> 101 days in nato's mission to force the regime to put down its arms. underequipped, sluggish and making questionable progress. the rebels are stalled to the east in misrata. adequate air cover so they can punch through gadhafi's for

on december 21, 1988, pan am 103 exploded over lockerbie, scotland. 34 were from my home state of new jersey. 12 years later the individual who was convicted of conspiracy for planting the bomb that brought down the flight was sent to a scottish prison to serve a life sentence. in august of 2009 he was released on compassionate grounds on behalf of the scottish government and said he had less than three years -- three months to live. these families have been searching for justice and answers for more than 20 years. the rupture of the muammar gaddafi government represents a real opportunity to learn who ordered the bombing, who collected the intelligence to carry out the plan, and in addition, who bears responsibility for this and other attacks and who should be brought to justice. it does three things. it requires the president to continue any investigative activities into the bombing of pan am 103 and other terrorist attacks contributed to the muammar gaddafi government. it states that the president shall urge the transitional national council and any successor government to cooperat
