m.o. as well you know that creates a situation where the weaker countries the weaker people the individual mortgage holders you know howard as you look at it with every level throughout the globe continue to get hurt at the hands of people who really just want power and influence which continues to. manifest itself into more power and more influence. plans we have about one minute left just i'm reading something you wrote just this week talking about the i.m.f. and the austerity measures and what's going on in europe and the basic deal of the offer there slumping debt for austerity we've got about really less than a minute left just walk us through that modus operandi well it's again. what the i.m.f. does it looks a double digit in unemployment and tremendously weak indebted nations that became indebted because their banks either own money to the core banks or because they opened their doors as they were said to have to do by the e.u. by the i.m.f. to international capital international ca

information and then turn around and try to sell it on the black market they also point out that their m.o. is always been a very transparent public attack against corporations who take part in criminal activities so this latest sony hack doesn't really match their style so to speak but again i guess when you're dealing with a group of thousands of members all over the world without really any leader hard to say if there are any rogues with anonymous who would straight so here's the evidence you guys be the judge on this one however i will remind everyone that regardless of who's to blame it doesn't excuse the lack of sony to protect their customers and if the company's accusations prove to be false anonymous could have more ammunition to actually attack the decaying make electronics corporation. arctics time for showing talents in its program last time one. to get your take on the killing of osama bin laden so we asked if you thought justice had been served let's go to producer patrice in a sente to find out what our viewers have to say. has justice been served the majority of you say no

sure absolutely he was just in north korea this wrote an op ed praising hamas and this is this is his m.o. but this is no it was exactly the point i think i first of all i very happy to praise president obama to see what he did was a very risky call high risk high reward and he should be rewarded for taking out a merican enemy number one would have very dangerous and risky operation however bush doesn't deserve no good no credit here at all some of the policies that he put in place to help get us some of the threads of information that got us for example two thousand the new york times july fourth two thousand and six mark mazetti the central intelligence agency has closed the unit for a decade had the mission of honey osama bin laden intelligence officials confirmed monday known as alex station was disbanded last year to. we basically stopped looking in fact he was a republican focusing on regional trends rather than specific individual intelligence thread that he was going to make sure that. this exists because of the infrastructure that george bush put in place and that to his credit o

. >> the tylenol case, is that ted kac sdmr insky's m.o.? >> no, it's not.n extortion case rather than some kind of wild scheme to alter society, and, also, we find that extortionists, bombers, assassins, and arsonists all tend to stick with what they know and what they feel comfortable with. >> he says he sdbt think ted kaczinsky would have been going into drug stores and tampering with tylenol bottles. an attorney for ted, says he is persuaded that ted kaczensky had no involvement in any aspect of the tylenol case. >> thanks for that report. shocking, indeed. >>> up next, did the wall street bailout teach us anything? ed aznor, the star of "too big to fail" says not so much. stay with us. building up our wireless network all across america. we're adding new cell sites... increasing network capacity, and investing billions of dollars to improve your wireless network experience. from a single phone call to the most advanced data download, we're covering more people in more places than ever before in an effort to give you the best network possible. at&t. reth

this was the bosnian serb m.o. he sort of, i think, when the war began he pushed and pushed and pushed. beyond srebrenica he carried out the siege of sarajevo. he's the first military commander to take a professional military, take its tanks, artillery and snipers and target a city ful of civilians. no one had done that befor finally in 1995 he takes srebrenica, a promise of u.n. pro thaex's completely hollow. he promises the women there that no one will be harmed there's images of him and his bodyguards giving chocolate to young children. as he's omising this his troops are forming a cordon around srebrenica and over the next ten days mlac's troops rounded up 8,000 bosnian muslim men and boys and sysmatically executed them. >> rose: how has he been able to hide for 15 years? >> it' a good question and when i wah president tadic of serbia, i feel job well done. i kept nodding as he was saying "today we've arrested this man." because they have been under a huge amount of pressure from the international community sin

well, instead, you know, following my m.o., instead i'm going back to the produce cooler, i think, i'mt drive home. >> reporter: he's telling you the tornado siren is going off, and you still want to get in the car and drive off. >> that's what i wanted to do. >> reporter: what made you stay? >> i got to the door, and he said, you can't go out there. and he opened the door and people literally -- some -- like four people ran screaming into the store. already at this point, i guess the wind was so high and the debris was probably cutting them to pieces. they ran screaming into the store. and when i saw what was out there, it's like, oh, this is the real thing. this is not, you know -- and the thing is, we had from that point just a minute before destruction came. maybe two at the most. and we all just ran back to this produce cooler. and there was probably 35, 40 of us crammed into this little tiny probably 6 x 10 foot space. >> reporter: what would have happened if you got in that car and had done what you normally do and ignore the siren? >> i would be dead. without a doubt. i would b

that is her m.o. and what is sad is people who believe like i do politically fall for that.'t ask those tough questions because those big bad folks are beating up on her. watching that couric interview was painful because sarah palin is not stupid. she reads. i feel like she didn't want to paint herself as too alaskan or too pro alaskan at that point, trying to broaden her horizons and it was very sad to watch that. >> you do mention several different sources that she was reading specifically in alaska but she didn't cite them. one more question, former alaska governor has not ruled out a presidential bid and i want to pass along this palin e-mail this is before she kit. she is saying, i hate this damn job, this flipping canning ka radio court joke of a job. is that why she quit? that's not what she told the american people. >> you know, i understand that. very soon after the presidential election in 2008 i think she honestly just got tired of her time as governor. some important things with the state of alaska got brushed aside. there was a very important attorney general n

. >> is this their m.o. and what they are capable of doing or other tactics as well?> well, other tactics, but this is typical. no accident they went after the frontier corps, because they had been responsible in all of the tribal territories for taking on the pakistani taliban and al qaeda and this is specifically an attack on them. it could be from one emir if you like from one tribal agency where the army has been busy lately. it should be stressed that the pakistani taliban are not cohesive organization led by mullah omar. they are not. they are fractured, but at the same time they have warlords who are capable of inflicting a lot of of damage on pakistan, and especially in the northwest, but in places like lahore and karachi, too. >> they don't have a bin laden, say, one strong leader? >> if they have one, it is a man who appeared next to the jordanian suicide bomber who killed the cia employees. he appeared next to him in a video that was recorded before that happened to show that the pakistani taliban was ready to start operations beyond the immediate pakistani

that's your basic m.o. you seek to enrich insurance companies. if you want to provide care to seniors, seniors with no party affiliation, medicare has turned out to be efficient. does that mean our rising health care costs across the board? here's this. medicare's rise in cost is less than the private insurance market. how can that be? because as i said, medicare doesn't take money for profit. medicare doesn't take money for shareholders or advertisements or giant call centers and put you on hold. they don't give gipet bonuses to c.e.o.'s. medicare is an efficient program. that's how we roll. we do efficient programs that are well run. and what do you do? you want to eliminate that. you like that. that's how they roll. they want to eliminate these programs. but we are standing in the way, but we aren't standing alone because seniors of all stripes and even young people who want to become seniors understand a program that works when they see it. and they also understand a party in retreat when they say it, i say to my good friend. we see how you g
