we have an all-star gps panel, anne-marie slaughter, richard haass and bret stephens. also a pivotal week in the economy. we will look at ben bernanke's announcement and the market reaction with harvard historian neil ferguson squlmpt. >>> everyone is talking about the 3-d printing but that's yesterday's news. i'll show you printing atoms and molecules. that's the next big thing. first, here's my take. in the debate over u.s. intervention in syria, there's a striking mismatch between ends and means. proponents of intervention want to defeat a ruthless and powerful regime, rescue a country from civil war and usher in a new democratic political order. but these people say at the same time that they want to achieve all this with the most limited methods. the worst thing the united states could do right now is to put boots on the ground in syria, says senator john mccain. we're often told that the goal of this intervention is to stop the killing. but sending more arms into the mix will actually increase the violence. that's fine, say the interventionists, because the real

extreme up most extreme measure possible kevin the president of the council on foreign relations richard haass has been weighing in quite a lot he recently tweeted why is the media using sympathetic word whistleblower for edward snowden who meet secret n.s.a. program he broke the law and made us less safe so kevin as we know obama is making sure that the entire program is kept secret as you mentioned very few people are in the loop courts have never been able to decide whether or not this is legal how we want to know if it is indeed. the court that does decide if it's legal the pfizer court actually makes their rulings in secret and the public never gets to get much of a glimpse at all into how they're making these decisions and so yes haas can say that he doesn't think he's a whistleblower he doesn't like the people that are being sympathetic or how the media is characterizing him although i will mention that the associated press has made a determination that the wrongdoing that edward exposed is hotly contested so they're not going to be using the word whistleblower to describe him same as f

. >>> very honored to be here with my friend, richard haass, and i'm here for couple of ropes. the first is that richard and i go really far back. i don't want to tell you how far back but we met when we were 21 years old and you can do the math. and so i have been richard's friend and have followed his thinking, agreeing with some, disagreeing with some, but he has always been my friend. but i'm here because i was very excited about this book, foreign policy begins at home, from the very moment i heard the title and then from the first conversation i had with richard about it. richard and i were colleagues together at the brookings institution, and the first question i'm going to ask of you, richard, merge the council on foreign relations with the brookings institution. that would be a very logical thing to do. in light over the title. but i think this book makes it an argument that i believe we need to hear and that i can go -- think a lot of americans will resonate to it. i read the book, and i wondered, is this your manifesto to run for president? i can ask him that question
