what about that, rachel?> i think, you know, ed, one of the things that ends up being important is the way that we describe to one another, even if it's not formal history, just our oral history about how we describe that as a country. and i think when you get down to the case that was made about why we had to go, it turns out that it was, as david puts it, a hoax. the case about why we had to go turned out not to be true. it was maintained to us as if it were true. and that has to be seen as an original sin for why that war ended up being a bad idea. we all respect the people who serve. we all thank and frankly love the troops who went there, because their country asked them to. but the grounds on which they were asked to go were false. and that has to be the way that we tell this story forever, so we don't do it again. >> and david, the media role in this, there was a lot of promotion, a lot of flag-waving, and not critical questions. or is that an overstatement? >>, no not at all, ed. at the time, i was ra

you covered them a lot, rachel. >> yeah. i love, by the way, that jackie harbaugh is making fun of her son's pants while wearing the '80s sleeves on the blouse. we keep everything. we all know about jim, john, but it is the parents that are the secret weapons of this family. i got a chance to spend some time in wisconsin with them last year. and on tuesday morning, the fedex man comes to their house every week during the football season without fail. it is delivering a dvd from john's team, a dvd from jim's team. he comes into his basement, he sits down, and starts taking notes from each team of the week, sends them back to each son. so he is still coaching from the house, although he did say he wasn't giving either of his sons tips for this game. there are a few people who really -- e.j., who can really understand what the harbaugh family is feeling right now. but one of them is archie manning. i had the time to sit down with the new orleans saints quarterback this week to find out what it's like when peyton and eli played

the "rachel maddow show" starts right now. od evening, rachel. >>> on a day that made history. today something happened in american politics that has never before happened in the history of our republic. in all of the trials and tribulations we have been through as a nation, through the wars, through the great depression, through the time senators used to beat one another with canes inside the capitol. in everything we have ever been through as a nation, what happened today has never happened before. not ever. not one of the 44 presidents our country has had has ever been blocked by a minority in the senate from choosing someone for his cabinet. but that happened today to president barack obama. republicans in the senate decided to do something unprecedented to him. and to thereby set an entirely new precedent for how the presidency itself is treated in our country. when they said today that even though they could not muster a majority of votes on their side, they would maneuver anyway as a minority to block president barack obama from appointing his chosen secretary of defense

there's rachel zoe, you guys. >> hi, rachel. she is the style guru behind it all.up. >>> first, the news from josh. >> we're going to start with breaking news out of southern california. police there are searching on the ground and from the air for one of their former colleagues wanted for murder. he's christopher jordan dorner, a former lapd officer and former reserve its. he ambushed two officers this morning, killing one of them. before that, fired at two other officers, gradesing one of them. he was already accused of killing the daughter of a former lapd captain and her fiance last weekend. he wrote a manifesto and threatening to retaliate. within an hour, his badge and identification were found near the san diego airport. we'll be following this manhunt closely throughout the day. >>> meanwhile in washington, it could be a rough day for the man president obama has chosen to take over this cia. john brennan's confirmation hearings begin this morning, one day after the white house handed over classified documents that lay out the administration's controversial

the "rachel maddow show" starts right now. good evening, rachel. >> good evening, ed. thank you very much. >> you bet. >> and thanks to you at home for staying with us this hour. when mitt romney won the republican presidential nomination this past year, it was not his first try at winning that nomination. mitt romney had also run in 2008. remember? he lost to john mccain that year. but that year, 2008, also was not john mccain's first effort at winning the republican presidential nomination. he had run before as well. he had run in the year 2000, when he lost to george w. bush. and while that john mccain campaign and his loss that year has mostly been remembered for the egregiously racist dirty tricks played against john mccain in the south carolina primary that year, that's mostly what we think of when we think of him losing to george w. bush that year, now what is starting to become the more salient thing about that losing run, about that losing attempt at winning the republican presidential nomination, what seems more salient now is who john mccain's national co-ch

thanks for staying on top of this that was our producer rachel. well we know that drones have become critical to u.s. military strategy and the technology has taken pilots off the battlefield and allows them to fly drones from remote locations far away from any combat zone but while these pilots are physically out of harm's way a new study shows that drone pilots are not spared the psychological trauma the study by the armed forces health surveillance center found that pilots that operate drones experience the same rate of post-traumatic stress disorder depression and anxiety as soldiers deployed in iraq and afghanistan to discuss what's behind us i'm joined now by dr sooty bose he's an emergency medicine physician an iraq war veteran he's also the founder of the battle continued or welcome doctor great to have you here it is great to be here think you know this study suggests that even though drone pilots they are in that imminent danger they still face health hazards what are behind these findings i'm not surprised to hear this it comes down to

here is a "rachel maddow show" related sample. the home of massachusetts native and show producer. his folks still live there. as you can see there that is the top of the mail box. and oh, my stars, that is a stop sign, not a child-sized hip-length stop sign, a real life stop sign and the snow goes almost all the way to the top, just outside of boston yesterday. now this is summerville, massachusetts, before the roads were plowed, the sidewalks shovelled. while there was still a driving ban in effect for the whole state. but these hearty souls were out with the card table, in the snow, canvassing for the signatures. it takes more than two feet of snow to stop politics in massachusetts, there was a reason for that. when john kerry became secretary of state, he had to resign his seat in the senate. mo cowan was chosen to fill it. he says he will not run in the special election, so both parties have to pick the candidates and fast. the deadline is roughly two weeks from now for any candidates in the special election to turn in 10,000

>> rachel, it's not clear. the fact is, and i went in first thing this morning, i was able to read some information that was helpful. i'm just not convinced yet that it is the full legal analysis that we need to do to do vigorous oversight. what today was really about is of course it was a nomination hearing for john brennan. but it ultimately was a question of upholding our system of checks and balances in government. and i think that system is out of whack these days and we've got to do some more for transparency and accountability in getting those checks and balances back. >> in terms of this specific program that you've been asking about the legal advice for, specifically targeting americans, at least specifically targeting one american we know who was killed, anwar al awlaki, who was a prominent member of al qaeda who was killed in yemen in 2011, are you asking about it specifically because you believe that action might have been illegal or the program that does this might be an illegal program, or are you
