and some cat would roll up to us and say, "yo, who's this malcolm the tenth?" [laughter] that's when we said it's important to see if we can use the music as it reaches people and just fill it with something that means something. one particular song and one particular video that got the attention of many, by the time i get to arizona, which was about arizona's reluctance to declare a statewide holiday in honor of martin luther king, jr. right. at about the same time you recorded that, i was actually working for usa today and interviewed the governor. oh, you did that, huh? a lot of us did. this guy was... mecham. intransigent. there was no-- and the state was in no mood to be lectured to by public enemy about what they ought to be doing. you did this-- this rap video, and you did-- the video itself had some provocative scenes. the governor was poisoned; is that right? or blown up. the governor was blown up, and a senator is poisoned. here's my question: beyond the obvious entertainment value of that... i was steven steelberg in that one.

malcolm chalmers is an expert at the royal united services institute. that's a security think tank here in london. how does this change the military strategy on the ground? >> well, this is a very significant step by the united states. it goes far beyond what obama's advisers, including general petraeus, was asking him to do. the drawdown is going to be support troops. that's entirely manageable. the additional 23,000 next year which will be out by september or so is a very important drawdown and other countries like the uk are likely to follow that. >> are we going to see a shift to more covert operations, similar to what we've seen in yemen, for example, or in pakistan? >> there's an awful lot of covert operations going on right now. the taliban being kill ready being killed mainly by american special forces. that will continue. the big question is, where will the troops come from? >> what are some of the dangers of the pace of withdrawal that we're seeing? >> a good example will be in helmond where most of the surge troops went and helped the positio
