it is enlightening because i was to be the expression of modern justice. not only did they point* out aggressive for was the kingpin crime but also of the nuremberg tribunals would have bill you only if applied to all nations here assembled like cnn states and its allies period if you were to cite that and argue that george bush and donald rumsfeld should be prosecuted as war criminals there's almost nothing that you could do it even people sympathetic to the ada to be investigated criminally ; real at the idea they should be held criminally accountable for the 100 dead because there look at the act of congress and the large majorities that something that shows how with those nuremberg principles without becoming self marginalized in a quick point* of the fascination i know from a moral and ethical perspective there is zero difference between spending -- is sending a sky9 robot and eradicating the lives of non-citizens as opposed to doing that to citizens with your suspicion or lack of just with the desire to kill them but there is a practical difference t

the latter found expression in his repeated assertions of personal and professional inadequacy. to modern ears suspicious if not cynical about such disclaimers, washington's protestations may sound less than convincing. for the fact remains he did accept command of the continental army and did agree to serve as the nation's first president. but that is exactly my point. real or fain and i believe it was much more authentic than otherwise, it was washington's very ambivalence towards power grasp this and you'll begin to understand not only the presidency, but the nation whose character he did so much to form. consider the heated debate at the convention over the role of the executive. roger sherman of connecticut would concentrate all authority in congress. what sherman called the executive magistracy, an institution for carrying the will of the legislature into effect. other delegates proposed a leadership representing the nation's three distinct regions, a three-headed executive. benjamin franklin opposed an executive veto and argued that the president should draw no salary. charls pickn

it's interesting to track her evolution into a modern woman, and ironic that despite the hopelessly old-fashioned view she expresses that transformation began in the white house. though she played a largely traditional role as first lady, like so many women, she found her identity through work. when she moved into the white house, she had a 3-year-old, and a newborn baby. her pregnancies had been difficult and she would lose another child in 1963, so caring for us and protecting us was her top priority. but it had been a long time since there had been children in the white house, and the obligations of a first lady included a busy official schedule. she fought to carve out the time that she spent with us each day, an early version of the work family balancing act that women have so familiar with. but she was dismayed by the uninspiring, or shall we be honest and say hideously unattractive look of the white house and its surroundings. she shared my father's belief that american civilization had come of age and was determined to project the very best of our history, art, and culture to the world. she wanted the legac

in and who is out, who is in the express lane and who is not in the express lane to see that it's desperately in need of modernization. what we need first is that national leader who will facilitate that national conversation on the importance of this. if you deal with getting the legal path right and the temporary piece right and the visa program right and modernize this antiquated system that's as messed up as it was when they were trying to bring chinese in to build the railroad across the continent, i mean, it really is that messed up, if you get that part right, the part who are already here takes care of itself. it really begins to take care of itself as you fix the early pieces on security and the legal pieces, you're now creating a natural magnet to get your status where it ought to be. but everybody who is interested in killing it in its infancy start with the hardest piece. >> we're going to go to the audience. if you have a question, raise your hand. we'll get you a microphone. please identify yourself and ask your question in the form of a question. right here. >> hi. my name is linda vasquez, and you've

stretches the gulf coast and produces more products essential for modern life and the largest petro chemical company in the country. i can't express how important the this is to my constituents who are the employees and live in the communities that surround the facilities. they deserve the best security standards possible to prevent the act of terrorism on u.s. soil. our role is to listen to the witnesses and get a better understanding of the problem and see how congress can assist. the agency recommends several legislative fixes. i'm hoping we have -- we on the committee can work together and find a kprcompromise. the program is too important to our national security to be this much in distress. mr. chairman, thank you for the time. i yield back. >> the gentleman yields back. the chair looks to my colleagues on the right. if anyone would like time for an opening statement. hearing none. the chair would like to recognize the ranking member of the full committee mr. waxman for five minutes. >> thank you, mr. chairman, for calling on me and more importantly for holding this hearing to examine the implementation by the department of

to al qaeda and some of the modern, he was not affiliated with any groups that would become terrorists. he had become radicalized on his own on the internet. when he expressed clear interest in attacking a dallas skyscraper, the fbi used undercover agents to set up a sting, and three agents who spoke arabic began talking with him, first online and later in prison. he believed he had found an al qaeda sleeper sell to assist him. after months of planning, he parked what he believed was a truck bomb underneath a skyscraper and dialed a cell phone number he sought would detonate the bomb. the bomb was a fake supplied by our undercover agents, and the call signaled the agents to make the arrest. last year, he was convicted and sentenced to 24 years in prison. intelligence led us to him and the combined efforts of our federal, state, and local partners help us stop him before he could do any harm. in the face of this threat, we and the bureau will continue to enhance our intelligence capabilities to get the right information to the right people at the right time, and we will continue to build strong partnerships, for these tools have been the foundation for our s

modern campaign, with money and money to burn. you hopefully also bring along the supporters of those stars that express their support for you.n those politics stars are not embarrassing. for instance, a young buck working hard for the romney campaign until he turned up in the "new york times" denying allegations about his campaign fund raising. he is not a mitt romney surrogate any more. or there is babeu, who recently had been a leading surrogate for mr. romney in arizona. republican stud until he turned up as just stud boy 1 on a dating web site with a secret mexican boyfriend who threatened to deport him if he told anybody about their closet relationship. so they ended up in the discard pile from mitt romney. but it also helps if these people you rely on to bring the voters your message actually agree with your message. romney said the foreclosure crisis, the answer was to let the whole thing run its course until it hit bottom. congressman joe hecht was trying to be a leading surrogate for the romney campaign. how do you feel, mr. hecht, on mr. romney's position on letting housing hit the bottom? >> mitt romney and i don'

express, mastercard, visa, to cutting out fraud. we can save $60 billion to $110 billion a year in medicare and medicaid alone that go to modern systemshat work. that's almost $1 trillion a decade just in that one zone. we should apply the tenth amendment. i'm delighted governor perry has agreed to head up a project to develop a platform this summer for a contract this fall and an implementation to return power back home. we also have things that are energy. i believe that we have an obligation to open up the american system to produce the maximum amount of oil and gas for three reasons. keeping the $500 billion or $600 billion here at home strengthens our economy. if we maximize our production, our goals should be getting back to $2 a gallon gasoline to prove to the american people that the free market works in a practical way that affects your life. now, this isn't pie in the sky. this is pure supply and demand. when you realize that north dakota alone has 25 times as much energy as the u.s. geological survey thought eight years ago. 25 times as much? and we're not allowed to look at alaska where we own 65%, nearly 1 1/2 times the s

modern birth control methods can cost. that is a lot of money. actually, 50% of women from 18 to 34 years old have expressedoncern about being able to afford that. but remember that old game "the farmer and the dell" the cheese stands alone. the cheese stands alone, the republicans are by themselves, and i felt like romney was really saying to the catholic hospital association, oh you have been duped, you don't know what you're doing. how condesending is that? >> here is roy bluinsurers to d coverage, abortions are as low as they have been in decades. a lot of that has to do with contraception, how much of a fight is this going to be? can you see the insurance lobby going to work on this? >> first of all you understand that the insurance companies prefer to insure contraceptive care, because pregnancy is much more expensive, so it's really actually good for employers and certainly good for insurance companies. but if i were texting you right now, i would say the republicans are likely to continue to move ahead, that's how out of touch they are. i'm on the energy and comer committee, i fully expect to see th
