mr. donald about. interrogations, the counter-terrorist policies after 9/11, specifically waterboarding. michael hayden, isn't it somewhat of a question whether you can tie that moment to this moment? heightened interrogation ultimately led us to bin laden? can you make that statement? >> i wouldn't describe it that way. i would describe it like panetta described it. some of our information came from the cia detainees and all those particular detainees did, indeed, have in hand interrogation techniques used against them. you can't deny we got valuable information from these folks. director panetta went on to say it's just an open question whether we would have gotten them from other means. the fact of the matter is we did it this way and this way worked. >> mayor giuliani, you heard a declaretive statement from senator rumsfeld that said if anybody questioned how waterboarding worked could make those facts. how could you make such an assertion with certainty? >> you can't make it with certainty unless

well i think definitely somebody whose opinion on this is very valuable is mr donald rumsfeld he was being interviewed on sky news and he said one thing about obama is that he was elected on the promise of being everything george bush wasn't that's what he campaigned on the basis of he said however since obama became the president he has kept all of bush's policies whether it's the defense secretary robert gates our anything else but me personally i would disagree with mr rumsfeld and say he's extended further than george bush has one son i'm away is still open george bush did go in pakistan but not to the extent that obama has done george bush did not bomb yemen obama has bombed yemen george bush did not bomb libya obama has been happier you know this is an extension of the the children bush policy in my view and that was located musician poet playwright and political activist. well as president obama address the middle east this sunday will actually mark three weeks since the death of osama bin laden remains face of evil in america for the last decade but now the terrorist death al

mr. donald trump, and lot of people didn't take him seriously in the first place, and sure enough as youn for president. so, we are going to be talking about this in a moment with dana milbank from the washington post who wrote an interesting article calling it the "little shop of horrors" and tell us where the political system is in our country. and right now, free money advice for you from the cnn help desk. >> time for the help desk where we get answers to your financial questions. joining me is is manisha taquore, and doug as always. and what are the pros and cons of this? >> well, you could access the cash of the home and not sell it to do that. so, whether that is through a credit line or through a monthly income, that is a good thing. but the cons are that they are expensive and you can disinherit the children from getting the home. so quickly for instance, if you take $100,000 on a $200,000 for a reverse mortgage monthly or by access, instantly, you mayo 1$10 because of the fees and one day that $120 will cross the $200,000 value of the home, and once that happens, you can stay i

mr. donald said not aware of anyone knowing the presence of bin laden in that compound, and what we are doing with this information is exploiting for a lot of purposes. number one, looking at it in terms of potential threat and also for the support network for bin laden. and i have no updates on what the president or national security advisor said. >> following up on pakistan leader's speech to retaliate with full force of (inaudible) action. and number one, does the administration object to that language. and number two, does that refer to drone straights. >> what i will say that the relationship is important and we have cooperation to get and hope to get from the pakistanis going forward in our fight against al-qaeda and terrorism in the region. and obviously the victims of the terrorism that is the focus of this fight are not just americans alone. there are many pakistanis. many have suffered the loss of life because of the terrorisms in their midsts. so this a fight for both countrys and we look cooperation in the future. >> it sounds like a threat. >> obviously pakistan is a sovereign na

mr. trump -- host: i think that was in reference to donald trump's statements he made on china. guest: i would need a specific quota. host: sebring, florida. caller: i disagree wh about 90% of what you have said. china imports about eight to one about of what our exports are. cheap chinese junks that goes into landfills. most of these products have toxins like mercury, lead, the we got out of our apartment 30 years ago. do you remember the pet food that they were shipping in that had rat poison? host: what would you like our guest to address? we will leave it there. guest: the should safety is a serious one and the government has been trying to put in place controls were by the consumer is protected from exports. the greatest casualty in the food safety problem is, of course, the chinese consumer. the mellow mien -- melamine, it was the chinese that were hurt. the exports were not tainted. the domestic product was. host: mr. orlins, before we leave, a couple of comments. where do we stand on human rights? guest: secretary clinton has been very are spoken about the chinese policy

mr. carle, this is donald rumsfeld from earlier tonight on fox telling bill o'reilly this about how muchfrom these kind of tactics. here it is. >> people are equating waterboarding with torture. and i think that's a mistake. the president of the united states authorized the waterboarding. it was done to three people by the cia, not by the military, and it produced an enormous amount of very, very valuable intelligence information. >> mr. carle, from your research is that comment correct? >> no, i think that it's not. it's a little bit like laurence olivier playing a dentist to dustin hoffman in marathon man and drilling a hole through someone's tooth but saying no pain, no pain. it simply is wrong. if you define waterboarding not as torture when you say that, well, it's not torture because i defined it not as torture, but it is. but the fact that it transgresses the uniform code of military justice, the convention against torture. the geneva conventions executive order 12333 for the cia. it's quite clear. >> do we get unreliable information when these tactics are used? >> it's conceivabl

let's watch a bit of president obama's riff on donald trump. >> you, mr.blem was a lack of leadership, and so ultimately you didn't blame little john or meatloaf h you fir meatloaf, you fired gary busey. and these are the kind of decisions that would keep me up at night. >> i mean -- >> talk about a poker face. >> and in retrospect these are the kinds of decision that is would keep me up at night when the president of the united states was considering what the commando team in action were going through. >> and the irony of the fact that 24 hours late er the covere of barack obama, at least the run up to him announcing the death of osama bin laden broke into what show on network television? "celebrity apprentice." this is not someone who can stand up to a withering skrcruty of his finances, personal life. >> and 56 million people watched the president sunday night. that's a super sized audience. >> stunning. >> and thank you. >> thank you. >> speaking of stunning, good to see you in person. >> that does it for us. for a very busy week. we're to follow the s

show and the hard decisions the president said that donald trump has had to take when he fires one of the contestants on the show. listen to this. >> you, mr. trump, recognize that the real problem was a lack of leadership, so ultimately you didn't blame little john or meatloaf. ( laughter ) you fired gary busey. these are the kinds of decisions that would keep me up at night. ( laughter ) >> schieffer: so there you have it. i'm going to ask you, michael gerson, as a former member of the bush white house, a republican in good standing, now a columnist, that you write from the right side of things-- what do you think the president is... is there more going on here than we might suspect? was he doing more than sticking the needle in? >> it was a good comedy act, but also a good strategy. you know, anything done to humiliate donald trump may make it more likely for him to run. any increase in the likelihood that trump is going to run is good for the president, because every minute that trump spends on the national stage is a minute that a serious republican is not on that stage. >> schieffer: that's very, very interesting. and i want to talk

mr. trump has to say, but at the end of the day, whether it's donald trump or any other potential candidates, it's that close they have to make directly with the iowa caucus goer, looking them in the eye and giving them a chance to ask tough questions because the caucus process isn't one that is won by giving speeches to thousands or those with the largest bank account who can run the most campaign ads and i think that's one of the reasons that iowa, new hampshire continue to enjoy the position we do. because i believe as chairman kimball said, we're very discerning and deliberative, we're not star struck and not shy to ask a tough question of a national figure. >> that's right. there's been -- you've seen in the polls republicans not really satisfied with the field as it stands. governor haily said she'd like to see some more candidates come in. but what's your sense? we're about to see that window close, i would imagine. do you guys, either one of you, see any indication that there could be somebody new coming on the scene? somebody that's not been part of this process so far, whether it b

donald trump, thank you for coming up. >> thank you very much. >> mr. trump, maybe just phrasing things a little bit differently. >> well, i have done pretty well the way i have preaz phrased them before. >> i know. but when people take offense to it in the culture, maybe it is something you need to think about. that's all i'm saying, if you are running for president, running for president of the united states you have to be sensitive to all in the united states. >> i think i am sensitive to all people and think i have great relationships with all the people. and the word racism has never entered at any time any sense of respect to me and i'm proud of that. >> i do have to say, you do call back and do the interviews. i must say, you came on this show and many others, i appreciate you coming on. thank you very much. >> thank you very much, don. it is an honor. >>> for many of those who may have missed last night, we'll replay the highlights of the correspondents dinner throughout the show. if you want more information on what we are covering with donald

>> that is donald trott, taking credit for the fact that the president of united states has released his long form birth certificate. mr. trump has moved onto questioning the president's academic credentials, how he got into columbia and harvard law school. by the way, was president of the harvard law review. "the new york times" said on friday that his decision to prove that he was a legitimate document up public office was a low and debasing, in public life. why did he do it? >> he was interviewed by george stephanopoulos, who has become a serious anchor on abc, and an interview about the budget and foreign policy, and up comes the question about the president, donald trump, and the birther movent, d ittuck in the president's craw. the other thing is that independents -- this thing was spreading. there was a growing uncertainty about this, and i have to say, the best statement of the week -- i a aa new fan of rand paul, a freshman republican senator of kentucky, who showed intended humor. he said, "i have come to new hampshire because i am concerned. i want to see the long-term certificate of donald trump plaza repub

mr. polis: madam speaker, even donald rumsfeld believes that it's time to change this policy in his recent book he wrote, quoters of the quarter million troops applied applauder more than 100,000 were in europe, those deployments were obviously not taking into account the 21st century reality that germany is now one with of the wealthier nations in europe. i believe that our troops have more to do than serve as symbols of security blankets for wealthy, allied nations. madam speaker, experts across the ideological spectrum agree that the time is right for these smart cuts that will improve our national security, allow us to fulfill all our obligations to nato as well as include 10,000 to 15,000 troops that experts say are necessary to full -- fully support operations at our current levels in africa. less is needed in that regard and it seems to be our direction. even at those current levels we would fully support those operations. this is a smart cut, one of the easier ones we could go to, improves our national security and i urge a yes vote. the chair: the gentleman's time has expired. for
