it may be, the part they have played in taking ideas that originate in tiny little groups on the margessociety and bringing them into the political main stream. there is a very small hate group in california that concocted the idea that mexico has a secret plan to invade the southwest. there is no such plan but after that was presented by fact by lou dobbs on cnn a couple of years ago, it was presented as a real thing to millions and millions of americans. there is a theory pushed by the john burks society that a un plan called agenda 21 is really a secret plot to strip away american's property rights and impose marxism on this country. in january 2012 the republican national committee adopted opposition to the quote insidious plan agenda 21 as part of their platform. and the bottom line reality is agenda 21 has no enforceable obligations whatsoever. it forces no one to do anything and yet it is being portrayed in the main stream as this terrible plan to impose socialism on our country. >> michael: it's sort of a back channel influence that these groups have. when you follow these group

at best it's margely beneficial. that's not enough. it's an important thing we have to grasp here. i'm not saying there are drugs on the market which are actively harmful. i think that's unusual. the problem we have when half of the evidence is -- we don't know which treatment is best. when you get an inferior you are being deprived of a better treatment. it's different things for people to grasp. so most treatments in medicine we have to recognize to a huge amount of good. -- because of garage l accumulation. now let's say there is one treatment eight lives out of which saves six lives out of a hundred. if you can get people to use the treatment, which will only save lives out of a hundred, you reward a yourself a point. you have given people what is an effective treatment. if they are using that made it look as a better than eight lives out of 100. the net seskt down two out of a hurnld. i think the difficult thing here is that we have put the failure of ambition we haven't noticed -- audiocassette. that's an important new one. i'm not some loon any running around saying stop tak

it has been somewhat marge alized last several months. the colonel was never able to. the attack occurred while touring a rebel area. there is the possibility that there was internal rebel politics at play though rebels say this was an attack carried out by the syrian regime, bill. is very if. bill: we mentioned the opposition leader has resigned. conor, do we know why? >> reporter: well, no. again, a lot of confusion. now the leader is a leading opposition figure. he is very well-respected internationally and syria. he offered his resignation yesterday but it was rejected by rebel leaders. on facebook he said he was resigning it due to the restrictions on his work. the overall inner-workings of the syrian opposition is complicated. many fighters don't report to opposition leaders based in turkey, jordan and internationally. despite countries around the world to sort of organize the opposition it is really a fragmented organization. bill, is more evidence how chaotic and confused this entire situation is between the assassination attempt and the resignation. it should

he was one of the original founders of the free syrian army but has been somewhat marge alized in recentths. colonel assad has never been able to unite the many different groups fighting the syrian regime of the the attack on his life happened while he was touring a rebel area. there is the possibility that there is internal rebel politics at play though syrian rebels blame syria and the assad government for the attack. in another blow to the opposition, the leading opposition figure, katabi offered his resignation yesterday but it was rejected by rebel leaders. on facebook he said he was resigning due to restrictions on his work. the overall inner workings of the syrian opposition is really, really complicated. as actual fighters fighting in syria simply don't report to the syrian leadership and jenna, this really does remain a fragmented syrian opposition and two years into the civil war, it hasn't really improve many in the international community would like to see particularly in comparison to the gains on the ground with assad forces. jenna, the council, overseas international counc

i happen to read an article in the newspaper marge 10th, 2013, and it's talking about the case. and it notes that because of all of the attention being paid to the terrible situation, these assaults, that somehow there's a political climate where a commanding officer is feel pressure to prosecute sexual assault allegations. and the article goes on to say that commanderring officers sometimes use their discretion to proceed with weak cases. and they cite some examples when it happened. so it seems to me twont point to the desirability of removing these kind of decisions from the chaifn -- chain of command so they wouldn't feel political pressure to prosecute weak cases. would you like to comment? >> absolutely. it's a critical point that professionalizing the system actually putting legal experts in charge of the process serves everyone better. it creates a fair and more impartial trial for the accused as well. the classic kind of example of why the current problem is so serious is the marine corps. doing the right thing as the head of the marine corps. by speaking out strongly a

if -- i read into that you don't think that the government has any role at all in regulating marge regulations at all for example, inherent or parental responsibility for children, no license, no regulation, no responsibility? >> well, no, of course there has to be family law. people live -- they are not an individual commune. they form families. there are issues with custody, with paternity, with, all sorts of things that inheritance, issues arise, but people living together and producing children predated the arrival of civil marriage in human history, and there are common law, codified law, bankruptcy, whatever else, that can take -- that can -- ought to exist and contract law, of course, because how most of the things ought to be handled is you sign a contract with your -- whoever you want to marry, spelling out what the rights are for 98% of the people, that would be a simple contract, and for others, they say, no, not this, add this, and something like that. that's fine. there's room for the operation of law, but that's different than saying that the sovereign has an interest in regulati
