mr. brown: thank you, mr. president. it's temperaturing to take th the -- it's tempting to take the food safety is a given but it's actually a goal of one that continues to elude us. each year in the u.s., 76 million people contract a foodborne illness. some get mildly sick, some get very sick and a few actually die. the centers for disease control estimates that really more than a few, that 5,000 people a year die from -- from food -- from poofood poisoning, foodborne illnesses. and it's mostly people who are not very young, it's the very old, those people whose health may not be as strong as others. but nonetheless, 5,000 people die a year. over the last few years, we faced malamine in infant formula, e coli in spi spinach, salmonella in peanuts. sometimes it's international problems, sometimes it's domestic problems. international means we ought to be looking at trade policy better than we have but that's a debate for another day. a few months ago we had a nation is wide recall of eggs due to salmonella contamination.

situation in iraq is jim brann he's a member of the stop the war coalition thanks for being with us mr brown now in the light of this latest attack on the baghdad church and continue in sectarian violence in the country was the american troop withdrawal the right move. yes so i think. i think the clear intention of the united states to leave iraq seems to me a indispensable precondition for iraq to. rebuild itself united states forces are a powerful factor in iraq to politics and they are a kind of. central determining factor and since iraqis overwhelmingly believe that the united states invaded iraq for its own interests that's how united states forces must be seen by iraq is as a. force with its own interests etc so the principle of united states forces leaving seems to me. lee correct and it's not that clear that if the united states. i mean this line that the united states has to be there to support the iraqi forces seems to me the iraqi forces have a very long history of looking after iraq so i don't really see that the united states forces are in disposable for that so am i right i und

so there are a lot of challenges along the way when it comes to cargo security. >> brown: mr. clarke just to end by coming back to where we began because we... you said this clearly points to yemen. i mean this again is something we've been talking about a lot as yemen as a new source of international terror, what does this case tell us about that and what do you see as the next steps? >> well it's not exactly a new source. there are probably more al qaeda operatives in yemen then there are in afghanistan. perhaps afghanistan and pakistan put together. al qaeda has been changing its venue over the course of several years. the united states is on to that. the obama administration has been focusing since it came into office on yemen. and trying to work with the government there. the government there is anti-al qaeda, increasingly so. but the institutions there are weak. so the united states, the saudis, and others are trying to help the government in yemen increase its capability to fight al qaeda. that will take a while. >> brown: all right. richard clarke, rafi ron, thank you
