it was part of an evolution of thinking and peeling away from the collapsing soviet system. we have seen, more often than not, security forces siding with the people and remaining neutral. you saw that even in the case of the 1979 revolution. although they had orders not to fire on people. therefore, what is going to be the pivotal moment is, in my view, three factors -- the resilience and sustenance of the movement by the people, the fact that elements that want to peel away know that their backs are not to the wall, that there is another boat they can jump to, so the movements dynamics is key, the behavior, taking a position, and much more tacit support than just verbal encouragement by the international community in a direct engagement with the people and support for that, is another factor. and ultimately, how much the morale of the remaining core group desperately trying to hang on to this system and preserve it allows them to fully detached from them, dissension within the ranks itself. the caylee evaluation of that is what ultimately makes a difference. -- the daily e

such candidates is a direct result of whether or not they actually take the side of the street and peel away from the regime, or forever lose their legitimacy the way the supreme leader has lost it now. towards the future, i have always said to all of you many times, and i repeat it yet again today, that my sole objective is to help my compate rots reach freedom. let's have the liberty to vote and choose freely. i would like to be able to be in my country one day, come behind such a podium, talk to my people, and every other candidate for whatever reason like like to talk to the people, and let the people decide. right now i am not running for any office. right now all i am trying to do is help liberate my country sooner rather than later so we don't have hundreds or thousands of other people in our country die, when they could stop dying and being repreffed. my object tiff is to see a day when iranians can go to the polls and elect a leader of their choice. i am very clear in what i am proposing as an alternative to this three seconds rece. i demand a clear separation about religion an

element of constant pressure on the system to bring this movement favoring the likelihood of more peeling away from the regime rather than the reverse. this is why it is so critical for the iranians to know that throughout this entire process, and as i say, there may be some at san flows, but the unconditionalebbs and flows -- ebbs and flows, but the unconditional elements of this needs to be known. we have seen some internal fragmentation. >> i am from a neighboring area. the streets of teheran, tehran -- of iran, tehran, because the official figures to not seem to reflect the real level. and how the events going to develop? >> it is very, very difficult to have an actual headcount, because some of the victims' bodies are dragged to places that even their own families cannot recover them. that is also, perhaps, part of the contingency of the regime to hide as much as possible the number of the victims from public eye and public knowledge. it is difficult at this moment to give an actual headcount. the victims are numerous, not just in the main cities, but the provinces. not all the numbe

get further away the speaks against the idea and i have heard through the media that that they but peel off the peripheral taliban with financial incentives. >> i think there are a lot of communities that are involved in a growing poppy in afghanistan who could be peeled away from the insurgency. one of the misunderstandings and the west is the idea afghan farmers grow poppy because they are greedy are making lots of money. there is a small amount of huge farm landowners who are making a lot of money off of the trade but the vast majority of those who work on the ground are not only barely eking out a living but are victimized by the traffickers. they have implemented the predatory loan structure which means most people who plant poppy can sell the crop in the fall, they get paid for before they planted but the way the infrastructure works, they owe more by the time the spring harvest comes along you hear stories of farmers giving of their land, having to sell their daughters to work with a human trafficking rings and sell them to the west part of it as a miss -- a common misunderstandi

and there was an opportunity for the american peel and the scholars to see what was -- for the american people and the consoli throors see what was involved there. there has grown a myth that in that proceeding the nominee knee was bork, turning his name into a verb. my own view is that that is not so that the decision made in rejecting the confirmation of judge bork turned on the record, turned on what happened in the judiciary committee proceedings, that when you really took a look at original intent, it was way outside of the mainstream of constitutional law, way outside of the constitutional continuum. if you looked to what congress intended in 1868 when the equal protection clause was passed in the 14th amendment in this chamber, the galleries were segregated. african-americans were on one side and caucasians were on another side. so the intent of the senators certainly couldn't have been that the equal protection meant integration. but after brown v. board of education in 1954, there was no doubt that equal protection did mean integration. the confirmation proceedings of chief jus

the second book the currency literary and potato peel society which is a book about world war ii and is a delight will block the -- book and women to get together and think of ways twos sabotages the germans to occupy the island because it is part of britain and said journey -- not seize occupy the island. the other book is unaccustomed to earth. that segues and in fact, it represents both genres that i want to introduce today. one is a novel about immigration. if this with a constantly reaffirming story about people coming to united states to reinvent themselves and the other is the great lies of the southeast and writers and of course, both trends are represented. on immigration i guess i've -- i would like to start with woods burner because it takes place in the 1850's because it starts with mostly new americans who are working out issues in the united states trying to settle into the new world but it all takes place in a few hours in the area around walden pond were a very depressed henry thoreau accidently starts a forest fire and everybody in the surrounding area is pulled in t

promised we just don't know how long it will continue so we're trying to work with democrats we can peel off a case the bipartisan talks break down which because they put into place a budget rule that they can use reconciliation, it eliminates the minority from the process if they want to act as a trigger they can force it down our throats if they get to that point*. we have to be prepared to work together but if not, we have to me and have to have alternatives and taken to the american people and that is what we're working on. we can afford what they call a public option. but as the government run health care plan i midday bureaucrats same thing. [laughter] freudian slip. we cannot afford that because when you start to ration care, do they care and health care is delayed it is the guy. >> from sacramento, what if any sanctions should president to bomb a place on north korea in light of recent events waxed that is another difficult question. time was born outside of sacramento number three at and, -- kim jong-il what he would do with nuclear weapons but also transfer those two places lik

that will be the question of whether or not he has actually peeled away from the system for the peopleou cannot have any more. -- cannot hedge any more. you have to pick one of the other. >> i am a member of the national press club and a freelance writer from buffalo, new york. in your earlier answer, you leave open the door for future participation in a democratic iran. can you tell us, if you have any research today, that tells how many people would support you in iran? in other words, in this turbulent time, what is your approval rating? >> well, people support me because of the very fact we're talking the same language -- freedom,, democracy, human rights. i'm not demanding people to support me today because of me. i'm demanding people support me so that i can best serve them achieve what their goal is, which is to achieve freedom. that is a totally different function. if tomorrow -- for the umpteenth time, i repeat -- if tomorrow in iran there was a choice for people to say "we want mr. pahlavi, after liberation, if we want to be in -- if we want him to be involved," we will hear

there are a lot of communities that are involved in a growing poppy in afghanistan that could be peeled away from the insurgency. one of the misunderstandings of the west is the idea that afghan farmers grow poppy because they are greedy. there are a small amount of huge farmers huge land owners or making a lot of money off of the poppy trade but the vast majority that work on the ground and in afghanistan are not only barely eking now a living but victimized by the traffickers who have implemented the predatory structure which means those to plant poppy can sell their crop and the fall and get paid for its but then the way the infrastructure works they own more by the time the spring harvest comes along and you hear appalling stories of farmers and give up their land and having to sell their daughters to the traffickers who work with human trafficking rings and so it is a misunderstanding that is common that people are getting rich off of the poppy trade there is a very, very small amount of people who were making money. they're very powerful but there is the attitude that you get i he

the second book is -- i0 is done over the name, the currency literary and potato peel by a society which is an epistolary book about the i'll guernsey during world war ii and it is a real delightful book about some women who get together and try to think of ways of sabotaging the germans who are on the island who occupy the island because it is part of britain and the germans nazis actually occupy the island. and the third boat which really does not need me to promoted is unaccustomed to earth. that's sad ways into the both oh genres that i want to introduce today. one is a novel about immigration it is in a constant need reaffirming stories about people coming to the united states to reinvent themselves and the other is the great lives of the salvation writers and, of course, the author represents both of these trends. on immigration i guess i would like to start would burner because it takes place in the 1850's. it is about a group of mostly new americans who are working out issues in the united states trying to settle and to the new world, but it all takes place in a few hours in the

currency literary and i always have to stumble over the name, the currency literary and the potato peel society which is in epistolary book about alan currency in during world war ii and it's a very delightful book about some women who get together and try to think of ways of sabotaging the germans or on the island, who occupy the island. because it is part of britain and the germans essentially occupied the island. and the third book which really doesn't need me to promote it is unaccustomed earth. and that's the way is into the both, in fact, it represents both the genres that i want to introduce today. one is novels about immigration not. what i find it me -- i find a constantly reaffirming story about people coming to the united states to reinvent themselves and then the other is the great south asian writers and, of course, he represents both of these trends. on immigration i guess i like to start a what burner because it takes place in the 1850's and is about a group of whom mostly americans who were working out issues in the united states trying to settle into the new world,

can't be with you, these are top-notch professionals, meteorologists, physicists, more of them are peeling off and walking away, saying al gore is wrong. but even if he were right if one stipulated that, and i don't for a minute, but if one stipulated the global warming models were right the economic calamity that comes from adding to the costs of all of america's business is intolerable and the burden that it shifts onto future generations and what it does to our economy, our culture and civilization are intolerable, madam speaker. and so let them make the case once as muhammad ali said after he fought joe frazier to a tie in 15 rounds, was this, you tied how come you're still the world champ, you've got to whoop the champ. the champ is free enterprise, the champ is sound science, the champ is empirical data. the champ is the history of the united states succeeding by believing we can achieve and by making logical conclusions with the science we have and the economics we have. by the way, it's free enterprise not nationalization and let's add an extra czar or two to this list of 22, let's

but fiasco is a great book in terms of peeling away what happened in iraq.you know, and essentially the united states made some very critical mistakes, and even now. the first was the inadequacy of the troops that went into iraq, which meant that while we could topple a regime, we could not restore law and order. and so when mass looting occurred, american troops all too often found themselves standing on the sidelines having to watch it because it wasn't their mission and we didn't have enough troops to do much about it. it significantly eroded iraqi public, and it's in who we were and what we were about. then secondly paul bremer who was then sort of the guy in charge, put in charge by both rumsfeld and bush, overturned some decisions of the american military had been trying to make in order to restore law and order, and to essentially try to rebuild some kind of structure. the first was his decision to disband the iraqi military, which had been at odds with what our own military was trying to do. by doing that, of course, he essentially created a couple h

take them in as far as segregation of customer collateral, in the otc, talking about the customized peelingsf the business -- the use of margin is extensive in that business, and i think that one of the reasons it is used so effectively is that there is an ability to rehypothecate or pass on collateral and use it for your own positions. i think there's room for greater exploration of segregation of collateral so the customers can have the confidence that when something like a lehman brothers situation should happen they can get ahold of their collateral. so there's a lot of focus on that going forward. >> mr. whalen. >> i agree with in other speakers. segregation of collateral is something we need. the dealers mansion themselves tend to rely on overarching agreements and treaties to deal with collateral and exposure back and forth. if you mo of an exchange model everybody it treated the same and you have different tiers of collateral requirements but the point is there's a third party who holds the money. you don't have the dealer holding the collateral. you have the clearinghouse or a trust

morning is the fact that there are too many people -- nobody knows the exact number, i have sort of peeled back the onion and said it is only 8 million to 10 million, but that is a million to 10 million to many that the rest of us end up paying f. we want to make sure that these individuals are placed in a pool where they can afford health insurance. host: our next call is from new jersey. teacup the morning, congressman gingrey. having delivered as many babies that you have in your practice, i am sure you are aware of the infant mortality rate. you mentioned social security and how the democrats were against privatizing. could you imagine what situation our seniors would be in if it had been privatized with our economic meltdown? you also refer to a government default plan. i do not see a private plan as being such. you discussed people with burning $50,000 -- with earning $50,000 to $75,000, $80,000. if you are trying to get private health care on your own, if you are not fortunate enough to have your employer pay in on the program, you are excluded. you cannot get health care with a pre

the guernsey literary, and i always have to stumble over the name, the gurns si literary and potato peel society which is a book about the guernsey during world war ii and is a really delightful book about some women who get together and try to think of ways of sab tablging the germans who are on the island, who occupy the island, and it's part of britain, and the germans actually the nazis occupy the island. and the third book which really doesn't need me to promote it is unaccustomed earth. and that segways into the -- in fact, it represents both genres that i want to introduce today. one is novels about immigration. it's a -- i find it a constantly reaffirming story about people coming to the united states to reinvent themselves. and the other is the great rise of the south asian writers and, of course, lahiri represents both of these trends. on immigration i guess i would like to start with woods burner because it takes place in the 1850s, and it's about a group of mostly new americans who were working out issues in the united states trying to settle into the new world, but it all ta

our health care debate has to include things that aren't being talked about, things like peeling away the regulations that were instituted 40 years ago and outlived their usefulness that increase costs. we reduce the practice of defensive medicine by eliminating the fears of liability that our physicians have, where they order test not to have them as a medical record, but an evidence record. we need to level the reimbursement system that is favoring urban big city over rural america, especially on issues related to the wage index. we need to address the health care work force crisis. i have not heard that addressed at all in this body and we define the payment system anyway you want. but if you don't have qualified doctors, nurses and technicians to provide the services, there is nowak cease. and we are facing tremendous retirements of those health care professionals. there are health care reform issues that we need to be addressing that just have not been -- and i think this class is well prepared to bring that to the health care debate. mrs. lummis: i look forward to that discussio

in washington, d.c., and early september at the mayflower hotel, one of the large hotels there, and peel chaired the meeting. it was a secret meeting. 150 clergy were there and they strategize the whole day about how to plot against kennedy. them media infiltrator that meeting and then there was an impromptu press conference afterward that just absolutely exploded. at that point and john kennedy was on his first campaign trip in california, which was going abysmally. and it went off like a bombshell when the kennedys lord that people like billy graham and were organizing millions of protestants around the country to vote against him. kennedy actually had an informant inside that meeting who told him and told his campaign all that nixon was doing, and they've were actually terrified at what they learned. it was a week later that kennedy made his famous houston speech, in a panic. today we remember that famous houston speech and when we think of kennedy in a campaign that's the speech we think of. it was the speech he did not want to make. it's one he gave out of fear and desperation in re

that's the definition of opinion, how strongly you peel and how one believes that global warming should be confronted is not the question. the question is whether a court comprised of nine unelected judges should set policy on huge matters before the country that we are debating in the political arena. shouldn't that be the president and the congress who's accountable to the voters to openly debate these issues and vote "yes" or "no" and stand before the people and be accountsable to them for the actions they took? i think the constitution, as i've noted, clearly dictates the latter is the appropriate way. but a number of groups and activists believe that the -- the court is sort of their place and that social goals and agendas that they believe in that aren't likely to be won at the ballot box, they have an opportunity to get a judge to declare it so. so we have the ninth circuit court of appeals en banc ruling that the pledge of allegiance to the constitution is unconstitutional because it has the words "under god" in it. actually, it appears that -- it's actually never been reversed.

sense, but we have to go to the 1960s to find the roots of many of them and something we don't do is peeling away in government, we add layers on, the frustration that i have on behalf of my patients, how that was increase in costs and decreasing access. i appreciate this opportunity today, this is one of the first opportunity to engage in this discussion which has been very frustrating for someone who came to washington after almost 30 years in health care with ideas that we could do things a little better. i appreciate the opportunity today. frankly, the change we need needs to be the proper change as a result of a full debate and discussion. we have not had that opportunity. it has been a real frustration of line and a number of my colleagues. serious concerns that i will mention briefly with a proposal on the table, the taxpayer federal government provider that will not really compete but only consume, private health providers will create, wind up with a monopoly, a government provider. most of my frustration has been the result of dealing with medicaid and medicare in terms of the acces

it took him a while to trust me and i was constantly peeling layers of his kirsanow will be off and id always be surprised by what i found next. >> why did he do that? what is in it for him? >> i was talking with someone about this yesterday, i think he wanted to quit by confiding in the journalist story -- >> stop me before i kill again -- >> it's criminal societal to talk to a journalist and that proved true in his case because he went back to counterfeiting after i did the rolling stone article and we, that article blew his profile up so much. >> they were not pleased with the guy. the call i got was screw this guy at rolling stone, d want to watch the sentencing? this is the room to go to. >> what did they want you to do, jeff? >> they wanted to show that they had read aloud the, quote, king of counterfeiting. they were interested in seeing in the papers he had stopped again to sort of rub their noses in it. >> it's interesting you talk to him 12-years-old being maybe not confronted with the path that drawn down one path and he might have gone down another. jeff, in the case of ma

so that's the end of my sh peel. >> well, again, there are different sections to this title. one of them is the community transformation grants. again, we have to remember when we're talking about prevention and wellness, it's not just clinically based. senator coburn thinks i think because of his training more about the clinical aspect of it. that's fine. there's other parts. the there's the school base. we've talked about that. there's the workplace base, some of it being done here, some of it being done by the finance committee. there's also the community based. the trust for america's health, as i mentioned earlier, came out with this report and findings last year that they funded that showed that there is a big cost benefit ratio to community proven community-based wellness programs that communities engage in. not every one of them are obviously beneficial. that's why we take a look at them. that's why we have these demonstration grants in there. and that's why this is i think a part of this excuse my using this word hoe list tick kind of approach to prevention and welln

i peeled away her coverings unsure if i would find a living baby. i sighed with relief that his color was better. the flesh of a healthy newborn but the sucking response again had no response. muttering encouraging words i covered the pair back up before i passed out the doorway the mother was asleep again. i busied myself around the ward cleaning up the office hoping i was doing the right thing. i waited uneasily until noon before checking on my charges again unwrapping the layers i found the little infant inside warmed to body temperature. he lay with legs and armed curled close to body his hands clenched in a fist. he pulled back giving some resistance. i stuck my finger in his mouth and felt an uncoordinated but a distinct lick, better i said to myself with my best doctor's reserve trying to restrain myself with jumping from excitement. the mother held her child in a grasp she was obviously starting to bond with the baby. after molding her hands to make the paramour comfortable i covered them both again. as i passed out of the room, i paused to

the conversations were going back and forth any time one of these people peeled off. in fact it was john kerry that was the establishment figure to pilaf and indorse obama. but the kennedys decided look, they're had always been tension between the kennedys and the clintons. there was a sort of rival claim to being the spiritual leaders of the party, and that rupture was very real and painful at least on the clinton side. i think it was difficult for the kennedys, too. >> host: did the selection of july and as barack obama is running mate surprise you? >> guest: i will admit to being surprised. yes, i will. knowing they had tension in the senate, senator biden was the chairman of the foreign relations committee. he didn't really treat this young senator with a big profile very well and he fairly treated him with disdain and that can help in the campaign and the primary process when biden himself was a candidate. they obviously set that aside. the candidate himself, obama wanted biden from the get go. the process unfolded and came out the end but as i explained in the b
