they were inside the building when mathew lee wrote his letter to lehman executives alleging unlawfulounting practices, and they were there when the practices took place. valukas says the s.e.c. also knew that lehman was being less than truthful when it said it had enough assets to survive the crisis. but that and other damaging information was never disclosed to investors, who continued to pump billions of dollars into the firm. should it have been disclosed? >> valukas: absolutely. >> kroft: isn't the government, the s.e.c. in this case, the... the people who were supposed to protect the investors? >> valukas: yes. >> kroft: aren't they charged with informing investors? >> valukas: yes. >> kroft: why didn't they do it? >> valukas: they may not have had the expertise necessary to understand the material they were receiving. they were getting the material. whether they understood it is another question. >> kroft: the very fact that government regulators were inside the company with access to its books and records would complicate any prosecution of lehman officials. until four months

chris mathews wrote a biography of jfk. rick santorum was throwing up all night.l o'reilly wrote a book about a president called "killing lincoln." i have my own theory about lincoln's death. i think john wilkes booth was innocent. i believe that abraham lincoln had a vision about what the republican party would become in 150 years and he shot himself. is the fox table laughing? or did rupert murdoch hack into all my jokes already? some people think that rupert murdoch was intentionally trying to appear to be confused when he was testifying. but the man is 81 years old. you have to know how to use a cell phone before you hack into one. he paid $580 million for myspace. clearly he knows nothing about technology. fox news is the grumpy old man of cable. loud, stubborn, a little out of touch with reality. just had a mole removed. is the fox mole here, by the way? i would like to take a moment to salute the fox mole. if not for his brave sacrifice, the world may have never known that the bathrooms at fox were overdue for renovation. leaking two videos and getting caug

mathews for his honesty about saying it is bipartisan. i think both parties engaged in this. i have two questions. usually the penalty is they pay a fine. do they keep on doing what they are doing after that and expand their business? second, are you familiar -- is there any way we can find out about the federal reserve, because i always wondered who these people are. we can find out these companies and usually they just pay a penalty, but the federal reserve does criminal things all the time. you being with the dow jones, i thought you might know who these people are and can you put a fingertip on them? guest: the first part of your question, yes, they do pay fines. a lot of times or almost always one corp. -- the justice department also requires a lot of remedial steps they have to go through and check their internal controls, they have to fire people involved with this and really clean house. if they don't, and the justice department finds out they don't, then the next time around it will be even more severe. so it is not just pay a fine and business is back to usual in pr

around the world and here, the ability to take the fundamentals of what "time" journalism is and mathewtablets an other devices is incredible. the real estate of our cover, on the cover "time" magazine, it's iconic and a big deal. it's such an important piece of media real estate. so i couldn't love it more. never worked in midtown before. so that's exciting to me. until i've tasted the platter on every cart within a 25-block radius, i can't rest. i get the red, white and green sauce. one big rainbow swirl. i only get to photograph. i don't actually eat -- >> okay. i will ask you another question. when you know your name is attached to a cover article, do you sleep the night before it's put out? >> everybody here loves the cover. it's a big deal. >> my conversation with mark halperin continues at this time tomorrow with his take on the mitt romney that he has seen out on the campaign trail. >>> take a look at this, i asked mark, dude, how can you work in this mess? he will explain that for us. >>> coming up on the big tlooe three, republican leaders are complaining about the president's

across the country shows a deeper concern that people are feeling across the country, as much as mathewerd really was the focal point of concern over gay-bashing and terrible hate crimes that were out there, and he sort of became the organizing movement in the country, and trayvon may be doing this now with america responding so deeply to it. >> you know something? there's something i want to say about this, which is if there can be some agreement that there's a possibility that george zimmerman was not -- is not a slobbering big goot. the fact is a stereo tell against a young black man as being more likely to commit crime than say young jewish women is not absolutely insane because for reasons we can all talk about, young black men do commit crimes in this country disproportionately to their proportion of the population. we can talk about why. so the stereo type does not have no basis, in fact, that this is the challenge. can we know that and yet understand that just because we see somebody walking down the street in brown skin and a hoodie, that we have no right to take him aside, muc

i'm jessica mathews. it is my pleasure to welcome you to what is a very important and wonderful day. we have the great good fortune to bring together leaders from five countries -- as you can see, hundreds of members of the washington policy community for some sharing, understanding, and questions that have not happened before. sixteen months ago, a gathering of this sort was unthinkable. sahbi atig, hosni mubarak, and nabil alkofahi were all in power. in many cases, this was banned. today, many countries are in transition and these parties are part of a historic office of change. in tunisia, morocco, egypt, these parties have one substantial victories at the ballot, and now or will soon occupy key government posts. the rise of these parties are a political reality. the decisions that they make will powerfully shaped the region's for years to come. we convene this conference because in spite of their growing power, these parties remain poorly understood in washington and other key capitals outside of the
