i think "newsweek" has jumped the shark with this one. the vicious piece was offered by far left zealot rick perlstein. they didn't tell the readers about his ideology. >> i'm surprised you wouldn't understand what "newsweek" is. you any it's a news magazine. "newsweek" is no longer a news magazine near is "time" magazine a news magazine. they are journals of opinion. and they are liberal journals of opinion at that. so, why would they identify this person as a left off wing activist? because their audience, their readers don't care that this person is a left wing activist. i mean, they are in a fight literally for survival. and in that fight, they are aiming at a niche audience of liberals with money, enough money to buy the magazine. bill: urban affluent people. that's what john meacham, the editor of "newsweek" puts the journal up to be. he says that it is a fair, arbitrator of the week's events. this guy doesn't work for "newsweek." this pearl stein. ok? he is about as far left -- >> >> he hates fox. he joined a movement i forget the

"newsweek" have any new information or any reporting that you've done on that as far as why the embassies>> my guess is, and i haven't done enough on the reporting because it's still pretty early today, is that they've had very specific threats from al qaeda that we're going to get your embassies and so as a rather obvious precaution, they're shutting them down and getting people out of there. it seems to me that there's almost a kind of secret war going on there in yemen backed by the united states against al qaeda, which actually began before this airport bombing and -- or the attempted airport bombing, and this seems to me to be the extremely reasonable precaution and that the threats are probably pretty formidable. >> mark hosenball investigative reporter for "newsweek," thanks for coming on this morning. we appreciate it. >> thank you. >> you're welcome. >>> new details this morning on the winter storm that is affecting all of us in the mid-atlantic region and the northeast. a foot of snow is already on the ground in maine, with more on the way and this as temperatures from the south

was a few weeks ago then "newsweek" came back the senior editor at "newsweek" john mecham came back with a commentary. they run a cover that says we're all socialist then he was railing at conservatives for suggesting obama is a crypto social less. excuse made it is on the cover of your magazine we are all socialist. the ada capitalism is doomed, i tell the story in the book of a school in berkeley california that every year there would have a gift from the graduating eighth grade class in a very progressive private elementary school. the class that was graduating 2009 was a beautiful mosaic that said capitalism will fail. i thought that was interesting in the private school where they announced capitalism ofheo as a -- will fail has a school with almost no scholarships pay $17,000 per year. [laughter] gettelfinger those parents are looking for to capitalism failing. going forward with the idea that capitalism is doomed or will fail it is basically clarified if you go away from the media focus. the problem is it is always immediate. it is just what is happening right now at this moment.

several times, editor of newsweek, came back with a commentary. they will discover that says we are all socialists now and then he was railing and conservatives for suggesting obama is a crypto socialist. excuse me. on the cover of the magazine saying we are socialists now. the idea that cabalism is doomed -- i told this story in the book about a school in berkeley california that actually every year they would have some gift from the graduating eighth grade class. it was an elementary school private exclusive, very progressive school and the gift of the eighth grade class doubles graduating for 2009 was a beautiful mosaic the set on the wall from the other clauses capitalism will fail. and i thought i was very interesting that in this private school where they denounce capitalism will fail as a gift from the eighth grade class was charging tuition with almost no scholarships of 17,000 a year. [laughter] so i'm not sure all of the parents were paying 17,000 a year to see their children indoctrinating and capitalism are actually looking forward to

eleanor cliff a contributing editor for "newsweek" magazine. start with the news as far as the u.s. being closed in yemen. what does that do to the partisan warfare in washington. >> i suppose that it gives the critics more ammunition that al qaeda has america on the run when you can't even keep your embassy open. that's probably a wise choice to make. i imagine they are facing a significant threat. i would hope that it doesn't mean that the embassies are closed for the foreseeable future, that this is a moment while passions are running high. but, you know, democrats are always on the defensive when it comes to national security and the american people, at least immediately, seem to want a more muscular reaction when we feel our country is under attack. and yet, if you look back over the last eight years, the war in iraq hasn't worked out all that well and you could argue that afghanistan is in the state it is today because we neglected it paying too much attention to iraq. you could argue that yemen should have been on our radar screen for the last decade, but we were preoccupied

i think maybe it was "newsweek" that put out something that said there was tensions between libya --e libyans and the egyptians. >> it was may, 2006, early 2007, i think it was a "newsweek" story. >> and then like two months later isn't that when abu yahya al-libi was joining al-qaeda. so al-qaeda has this habit of kind of like kum-ba-ya videos whenever they are under attack or somebody accuses of them not getting along well with somebody and they come out and hug and play patty cake and this is what happened with this video. so whatever it is, the public face is at their unified command. on the question about the human face, i don't work for the u.s. government. and, you know, if that's an unintended consequence of me identifying him as such, that's not -- it's not my goal. i think you're right to point out as brian has that the global jihadist movement is incredibly complex and multilayered. and so it is always easier to fight an enemy who has a face and, in fact, al-qaeda realized this. they built their entire anti-pakistan rhetoric on musharraf and they made hating pakistan -- th

i'm pleased to see articles such as one in "newsweek" magazine, "enough is enough." and other support for serious action against iran, who some months ago did not support such action. the majority leader and the republican leader's time is valuable. i'd just like to summarize by saying, this is an important issue, madam president. we've got a country on the road to acquisition of nuclear weapons. we've got brutality and oppression in the streets. we've got unspeakable brutality taking place in the prisons. people have been killed. a young woman named neta bled to gej in the streets of tehran before the -- bled to death in the streets of tehran before the entire world. so i hope that we will be able to impose these and other necessary actions against this tyrannical, oppressive, brutal regime in iran that i think is coming apart. we want to be on their side, and we want the iranian people to know that we're on their side. i appreciate the accommodation of the majority leader as well as the republican leader, and i know they share my commitment, as does my esteemed and

i would point to this recent "newsweek" cover from december 7 of last year entitled "how great powers fall: steep debt, slow growth and high spending kill empires. and america could be next." madam president, here's what the article went on to say: "this is how empires decline. it begins with a debt explosion. it ends with an inexorable reduction in the resources available for the army, navy and air force. if the united states doesn't come up soon with a credible plan to restore the federal budget to balance over the next five to ten years, the danger is very real that a debt crisis could lead to a major weakening of american power." madam president, the process has already begun. as i indicated, in the previous administration the debt doubled. foreign holdings of u.s. debt more than doubled. and we can see the track that we're on. from 2001, the beginning of the bush administration, the debt skyrocketed, and it continues to grow with the economic downturn and the projections from the congressional budget office for the future. in fact, we now estimate that the gross debt of the unite
