carlos hardy, director of public affairs, baltimore substance abuse systems, incorporated, baltimore, maryland. john, what role does language play in forming public opinion on addiction and mental health issues? i think language plays a critical role in the way that, after all, it's the, it conveys the meaning of, of what we're trying to express. and so i think it plays a very important role and we should think carefully about the terms that we use because of that. so, why does some language impede the understanding, lureen, of, of our field and the way we refer to people? well i think particularly now that we have this new recovery framework, people are holding on to the old language. and the new language really holds the fullness of the framework, it really shows the validity of the framework, it shows the reality of recovery. and so the fact people are holding on to that old language, is really impeding us from moving forward into this new framework. and daphne what type, what are we talking about in terms of the old language, the new language and, and the transition that we're try

that is completely antithetical to the drift of public affairs in the united states. it's a move toward greater transparency. a move toward opening up things that have been closed before. bernanke since he became the fed chairman had been interested in opening up and expanding transparency at the fed. the need to do that is all the greater in light of all the extraordinary interventions the fed had to take in the period of the financial chris and attempts to stabilize the markets and get economic growth going. in that sense he was working hand in glove with president obama who was also taking steps to intervene in the auto industry. like the president, ben bernanke felt the need to go justify why he was doing things that hadn't been done by the fed in the past. and he had this very sober-sided press conference. there was no news made in terms of what he disclosed, but the mere fact that a fed chairman, where in the past you had people like allen greenspan and people were analyze how thick his briefcase was to try to decipher what he was going to do with monetary polic

only not good enough they were wrong paul and long those people alan cooperman a professor of public affairs at the university of texas at austin he's also an author and among his works this book the limits of humanitarian intervention. and alan i know that you've written a lot about this that and something that you said was that the u.s. involvement in libya is not only not preventing murder and suffering but that it's in fact causing suffering by innocent people and also prolonging the civil war in libya where is your evidence at this. well my my evidence is that the claim that was made by the obama administration that there was going to be a bloodbath that there was going to be even genocidal violence that he was deliberately intentionally massacring civilians my evidence is that there is no evidence of that in the other cities that qaddafi has captured either totally or partially and the latest data comes actually from human rights watch and what they found is that the victims in which is the third biggest city in libya only three percent of the wounded are women and what that tells you
