related i'm joined now by michael brooks he's the producer of the majority report hi there michael let's start off by talking about the letter that the justice department and the f.b.i. sent back to rand paul did you really learn anything new from it. meghan it's great to be talking with you no i don't think we really did and i think that the response from the f.b.i. from the justice department highlights a lot of problems that we're seeing across a lot of different areas when it comes to civil liberties and the evolution of technology which is that we're we have the tremendous technological advances and we don't have policy and legal frameworks to really address or contain them and then agencies go out jump on these technologies use them push their limits and then sort of answer questions after the fact in unclear and ad hoc way without kind of clear legal structures around them now it may be that these drones have been used positively in certain cases and i think the issue is not the big scary drone issue is the rules around them and what the frameworks are and because frankly we don't

differences between these two secret spillers to help me navigate through both cases i'm joined now by michael brooks he's a producer at the majority report hi there michael so let's start off with the biggest similarities and differences in your mind between these two men. meghan it's great to be with you i think you know the similarities are clear you know they're both young young men who decided to really great personal risk expose what they perceive to be significant systemic wrongdoing. and they both by most accounts are very intelligent very competent and good in their fields as far as we know obviously the core similarity or dissimilarities because edward snowden chose to flee the united states and his cases kind of progressed it's become it's taken on a much different kind of. a distinct geo political calculus that bragging bradley manning's case does not and then obviously going back to manning he's been the victim of really significant abuse and you mean conditions under military capture in the united states and another very big difference is the fact that bradley manning was in the militar

potentially facing two very different fates from both being whistleblowers and secret feller's michael brooks producer at the majority report. thank you edward snowden's release of documents about the n.s.a. included particular information about the prism program which started in two thousand and seven under george w. bush and his administration and it continued under the obama administration an interview that aired yesterday from zambia president bush defended the program the program in place to protect the country and one of the certainties is civil liberties were guaranteed so you don't think there's a compromise between security and privacy i think there needs to be a balance and i think as the president explained there's a proper balance. so a bit of bipartisanship from the former president but keep in mind president obama came into office on the promise of being the anti bush but these revelations about america's continuing surveillance and counterterror tactics are spurring more criticism of the president than before and some are even feeling that deja vu back to the bush years politic

potentially facing two very different fates from both being whistleblowers and secrets feller's michael brooks producer at the majority report. thank you james komi is one step closer to clinching the title of f.b.i. director but before he does president obama's pick to replace robert mueller has a few major hurdles to overcome pouring to the hill newspaper the senate judiciary committee will hold confirmation hearings next week for comi but don't expect him to glide through that process the a.c.l.u. and human rights watch have serious objections to coleman's nomination based on his support of the infamous bush talks remember torture memos excuse me when he was the deputy attorney general from two thousand and three to two thousand and five yesterday these groups wrote a letter to the judiciary committee urging members to ask me about his involvement in the approval of various enhanced interrogation techniques against terrorism suspects it said quote the senate cannot make an informed decision on whether to confirm mr cole me as f.b.i. director without having a complete understanding of his ac

. >> let's quickly bring in michael o'hanlon at the brookings institution, and former ambassador to morocco mark ginsburg. michael, back in 2011 when we saw the first arab spring and the protests in egypt that ousted mubarak, there was a chant on the street the army and the people are one. now the army is being put forward as the guarantors of emerging democracy in this country. does it strike you you still have so much power in the military essentially to create regime change? >> well, you know, it's a great question although the army now says it's acting on behalf of the people. let's bear in mind these demonstrations in egypt in the last few days have frankly not only been big but among the biggest in history. i think in human history. if i'm getting accurate tallies on the number of people involved. so in a sense what you've got is a popular impeachment of president morsi almost or at least the military can tell itself that story. i'm not necessarily thrilled with these developments because i think morsi was in a very hard place and while he made a lot of mistakes. >> i'm not sure this

michael o'hanlon is a top expert -- trust me, he is-- at the brookings institution. amy walter is with the cook political report and last but not least, we always say, that john, great to have you, john dicker son, cbs news political director. david did the u.s. government see what is happening in egypt coming and senator mccain dodged this question, do you ever think mohamed morsi will be back in power or see yesterday's news forever? >> did the u.s. government see it coming? i think they didn't. and i think that a fair criticism of the soogs that they had a hands-off approach to egypt. they could have been more aggressive from the beginning with a simple line of "we support democracy." then when morsi veered from that they could have put more pressure on him publicly and now they're in a big mess. mohamed morsi may be gone but the muslim brotherhood is not. they have a very large group of supporters, it's a very dangerous situation and thinking we could just go with military rule. >> garrett: what's the biggest danger? >> it polarize it is situation more that membe

. >> joining us now is michael o'hanl o'hanlon, a senior fellow the brookings institution. mr.ours, both sides have agreed to a nine-month timetable but what is the specific goal here? because as you just heard, nobody, nobody is suggesting anything but that this is probably al impossible assignment. >> yeah, it's a great question. you know, i think it's tough. it's maybe near impossible. but i wouldn't rule it out. there are a couple of reasons to have hope. one is that, of course, even prime minister netanyahu of israel who is seen as a hawk has to worry about a couple of trends in security. one of which is, of course, that the palestinian population inside of israel proper is growing. if he believes in keeping a jewish majority state forever as he surely does, then the idea of a two-state solution has to be of some appeal because otherwise, palestinians can outnumber israelis some day in the broad area that he or his successor would govern. secondly this temporary lull in terrorist activity won't last forever. and the broader region's con fla ration could affect israel if th

. >> shep: let's bring in michael o'hanlan and director of research for the foreign policy expert for brookingsnstitution. i am trying to figure out where we are. it's clearly bigger than ed snowden. >> yes. it is. it's a confusing situation. on on the other hand we would welcome russia doing us a favor here but rush some sha clearly views it as a favor and maybe not even the kind would you expect each other to honor. the united states and russia still have cold war habits when it comes to trying to get people on the other side to die village secrets. in other words, i think there are russians trying to recruit americans routinely around the world. most of those americans thankfully say no but we know their efforts is ongoing. snowden kind of fell in their laps. we know they are trying to do this. frankly i am not sure we don't do it ourselves in reverse. i agree with the administration it's worth making the ask, but if russia refuses as they are doing now, i'm not sure we should be too surprised. that is where i am right now. >> shep: can you find any leverage that our side might have in this

wright, brook -- andrea rece amsey, maureen, paul jola, rebecca, kent clark, michael and joe. the bill at hand is fundamentally aimed at restoring readiness and training for the services, two areas that have suffered greatly. while chairman young has noted that the bill's $212 billion in funding is approximately $28 billion more than the fiscal year 2013 postsequestration. it does contain a number of significant reductions. the bill cuts $617.8 million from the joint strike fighter program to address unjustified cost growth and unjustified concurrencey estimates for the program. it cuts another $112 million due to an overstatement of army travel requirement. the bill rescinds $443 million for c-27-j aircraft. the bill contained a significant amount of language and robust funding for initiatives to respond to sexual assault in the armed services. sexual assault in any circumstance is unacceptable and maddening. the fact it is prevalent within the military is even more so because of the standard to which our men and women in uniform hold themselves. these are individuals who are
