secular idea.ne has to position for globally because the sovereign credit risk is the risk factor and market is looking at that as major risk factor when investing in global portfolios now. the curves will stay steep until the eve of interest rate hikes. you would expect a flattening trend when it begins to last for a while because yield curve trends are long lasting. we do not think the fed will move much. the secular headwinds will continue to be and secular idea and long-term rates as well. >> at 11,000 the cyclical case is strong on the dow. you are still worried about the secular case. is it at this point time to be worried about the secular case? are you saying that 11,000 is pricey for everybody? >> one has to think in terms of risk diversification and not just asset diversification. you can have equity risk in a bond because bond prices fall. you can have interest rate in stock. you have to look at the commonalities. >> could the strong secular case take us to 14,000 before your secular cas

meanwhile, a separate study of latinos found a growing secularization. trinity college in hartford, connecticut says the percentage of latinos who claimed "no religion" has doubled in recent years. in 1990, 6% said they had no religion. in 2008, it was 12%. in haiti, 33 children that a u.s. baptist group planned to take from the country last month were reunited with their biological families. the baptist group said they thought the children had been orphaned or abandoned because of the massive earthquake. but haitian authorities accused the baptists of kidnapping and put them in jail. all except the leader of that group have been released. in other news, an ethics controversy erupted this week when a fertility clinic gave away as a prize a free treatment of in-vitro fertilization using donor eggs. the contest was sponsored by an american clinic and held in london where the use of a donor eggs is tightly restricted. clinic staff said they wanted to promote their services to british families. but some ethicists said the contest was like raffling off body p

which is sort of the secular shiite secular sunni vote. i think what happened in addition to the fact the shiite coalition we have had for the last four years that broke up, and therefore maliki was standing by himself, we also saw a swing, probably, of some voters who would have voted for a secular candidate, and hadn't decided between maliki and alawish and maybe were in favor of m maliki because of the fact that he brought security over the past couple of years. those people in the days before the elections when a number of candidates were disqualified on the basis of deba'athification and maliki embraced that decision, may have seen that maliki after all was a shiite sectarian to the core and have thrown their support behind alawi. >> reporter: well ambassador crocker, you say it doesn't matter, in a sense, because now we have weeks of coalition forming. but how seriously do you take the challenge by prime minister maliki to the results up to this point? >> i expected whoever did not wind up in the top slot, whether it be maliki or ala

most iraqis are secular, they don't want a relickous state. and they were getting a state that was increasingly religious, increasingly controlled by shiite religious institutions. and they voted against it. >> are there implications at all for potential violence because of the dramatic nature of the shift in the relative youth of this semi democracy? >> i think you will see protests starting tomorrow, or if not even sooner. it's now nighttime in baghdad. but over the last few days, there have been anti-allawi movements, anti-allawi decisions. alley himself was a member of saddam hussein's baath party. he is is a shiite, he's secular. among certain circles, he's a controversial figure. iran does not like ayad allawi, iran has back protests against him in the past and analysts i've spoken to and politicians, including people very senior in the iraqi government, expect that iran could very soon start to stir the pot more against allawi after this move. >> understood, richard, we're fortunate to have you here today, thank you for your information

of having an uncompromising western secularism that actually hinders american foreign policy overseas. they say ignorance about religion in places around the world has really hampered u.s. efforts and they say that there needs to be an entrenched education about the importance of religion. >> abernethy: well, this isn't the first time people have been talking about this. >> lawton: people have been talking about this for 20 years, calling for this. former secretary of state madeline albright also called for it, but it just never seems to happen. the diplomatic community, homeland security and other officials don't seem to put this in to their education and their training and so they're hoping that maybe in the obama administration there will be new opportunities. >> abernethy: another really interesting story, for me anyway, was the reaction many muslims to that plane crash last week in austin, texas when a guy who apparently hated taxes flew his airplane into the building that housed the internal revenue service and it was officially called a crime and muslims said, "wait a minute, t

there is some secular change represented in these relationships we started out with. the first 15 months of the recession, average duration increased with unemployment at roughly the rate you would have expected. this is indicated by the series of red dots that all along the top of the blue cloud and are parallel to the black line. we started off following that trend. since the first quarter of 2009, the average duration has increased much more rapidly than the rise in the unemployment rate would predict. if the extension of insurance benefits while helpful in supporting unemployed house holds, likely accounts for a portion of the recent rise in the unemployment duration. even so, we look at the overall magnitude of the increase as an indicator that labor market conditions are either bleaker than the unemployment rate alone suggests -- even bleaker. this may explain why the share of the outlook -- the people outside the labour force have grown so much. many people have simply stopped searching for jobs, given the lack of demand for their services and the wages. let's

at this point a secular block leads with the most votes in the overall total, but the prime minister's coalition has @ support of several provinces. >>> a teenager charged with harassment and biased intimidation for allegedly getting on a walmart p.a. system and telling all black people to leave the store. this happened last week, you may remember, at a new jersey walmart. the 16-year-old was arrested on friday. he has now been released into the custody of his parents. >>> now getting back to our top story, the passage of the health care reform bill would lead to the largest expansion of federal health care guarantees in four decades. all the republicans in the democratically controlled house plan to vote against the legislation. it will take 38 democrats voting no to kill the bill. 33 democrats plan to vote no. >>> what an interesting day we saw on capitol hill yesterday. the so-called demon pass, that's dead. all of this going on leading up to today. cnn's senior congressional correspondent # dana bash has details. >> reporter: democrats worked late into the night counting the votes,

emerging secular market you might say the importance of the free-market.at i want you to address a little bit more especially given that we have a marketplace for ideas is the problem of dogma. we see in the united states today for example with the market for ideas the prevalence of creationism unfortunately still. we see traditional religion replaced by colts, scientology, things like that. we still see unfortunately in the university's postmodernism kind of hanging around and it seems like dogmatism is undermining the core of the enlightenment enterprise and that is the importance of reason as an approach to your life person as well as understanding the world. there's a rational life treated more like a lifestyle choice that you can take or leave rather than the core of our civilization. it seems that really is in danger and freedom in the country and i would like you to address more help you see the problem especially given we do have a marketplace of ideas today. >> is a problem. there is a skating chapter in my book about postmodernism and my editor w

he is secular, pro american and anti-iran. the current government in iraq right now is a religious state that leans toward iran. if he can hold on to this position he gained today, he has to form a government and face off challenges by the current prime minister and we could see a major change in direction in iraq. >> dancing in the streets with those cement blast walls in the background, a reminder it's still a dangerous state. >> reporter: it certainly is. some of those blast walls are going to start coming down as u.s. troops begin to leave. american forces are already starting to take some of the blast walls down. they are going to have to grind them up. it's going to cost billions of dollars to leave iraq. >> richard engel, thanks for that. >>> today russia and the united states, the world's two largest nuclear superpowers, have reached a new agreement on further reducing nuclear weapons. president obama and russia's president medvedev spoke this morning by phone. this new treaty, which if approved by the senate will be s

when i say secular bear market, we're talking about a sideways trend.ou could see theoretically the top end 13,000 and the bottom end 9,000 and trade back and forth until we address the fundamental problems that we have in this country on deficits, long-term debt, fannie, freddie. there's a list of things that must be resolved. they're not going to go away. and once we return to normalcy, which we are doing, the core rate of inflation's going to go up, and you see these negative returns in the bond market are going to eat people alive, but it's not going to be the end of the world. and the bear market could last anywhere from five to six years. >> mark, go ahead. >> no, didn't mean to interrupt, sorry. >> all right. well, dennis, let me follow up with you, then. do you think that he has a point there? and particularly on this inflation point, because this is almost like a war zone right now. some people think it's going to come back for sure, and others say no way, you are crazy. the capacity utilization in the united states is so low, inflation is not

election officials say a secular coalition leld by a former iraqi prime minister has edged ahead. 20% of the ballots are left to be counted. al maliki may have to share power with some of his rivals. good morning, happy st. patrick's day. i love the green. how are you doing? i'm robin meade. great to have you around. >>> people on what they say was a nightmare flight from l.a. to new york will now get their money back but take a look at the video from it. >> after about the 30-minute point the captain will make the decision based on the safety for all of us on board whether we will be diverting or continue to hold for a little bit longer. bear with us. >> the guy whose face was david martin. he and other passengers were on a virgin america flight over the weekend. had to land 90 miles from jfk because of weather. they were eventually bussed to jfk but they say they finally got there 16 hours after their flight took off. here's what martin told hln's mike galanos on "prime news." >> passengers did eventually get off the plane after you know we had to go through a lot of arguments with

national conflict or secular vision is usually going by five-year plans. religious conflicts, the sick is much higher one and the date of payment one is postponed and i think that is basically a and b will face and therefore to answer your question yes there religious conflict took over and the religious picture of the conflict took over between israelis and palestinians. i think very much. >> thank you very much of the czech republic. i have a question regarding recognition as part of compromise maybe been here unwound. amount of the european union diplomats we had a lot of discussion about recognition of hamas, like the winner of the election but on the other side, of course, it is an organization. what you think about this? does it mean that if you recognize an organization will become more human or less terrorist? >> no, i didn't say -- i don't advocate recognition in all cases. it depends on what you recognize it. sometimes the nature of the organization is such a there is nothing to recognize, namely you'd disagree with what they stand for. all i sai

and is it secular or non- secular? from a u.s.tandpoint, i know we are concerned with the fact that we are detaining individuals from other countries. we are an outside authority. we are in non-secular outside authority. if you look in indonesia or singapore, you have a government working with their own citizens. these are the factors that end up making the determination of how a program is developed and implanted -- implemented. lastly, the most critical factor perhaps, what are the factors of radicalization involved with those we have in custody? how are we to understand those that we are holding and wanting to work with, how did they get there? what path did they follow to join a terrorist organization? this is still a widely contested debate, but factors that are of concern and have interplay to be the sources of radicalization include ideology, economic motivations whether they are joining to get a paycheck -- economic motivations, whether they are joining to get a paycheck. local grievances is another factor. many groups are

you are right, that it is all part of a very long term secular -- cyclical change. >> have you formedny views about that at this point? >> i think the short answer is that it is not quite as bad for newspapers -- as newspapers. the other factors that affected newspapers are also affecting television stations. the lower add rates online -- ad rates online. i do not mean to be a downer, but some things will get better. on the other hand, there are some ways in which the negative parts of this have not fully played out yet. we do not have universal broadband. for all the benefits that broadband will bring, it will exacerbate some of these problems in certain pockets. one of the reasons that community newspapers are doing relatively well is that craigslist has not gotten there yet. but he will. >> maybe not. >> so when the classified sales keep going down, some of the smaller newspapers are going to have those problems as well. >> have you found anything so far in your study that would be a response to that question? >> i think steve summarized very well. >> good. >> thank you. i think th

allawi's secular shi-ite group was ahead in two provinces in the north with the backing of sunnis.t the same time, allawi's coalition charged widespread fraud in the vote. afghan president hamid karzai said today he does not want any proxy wars fought on his soil between the u.s. and iran, or anyone else. this week, u.s. defense secretary defense robert gates accused iran of backing the taliban, while it seeks closer ties with the afghan government. today, in abu dhabi, gates said again iran is "playing a double game." but he also said it is not a serious threat, yet. >> at this point, the level of their effort is not a major problem for us. level of support for taliban so far as best we can tell has been pretty limited. just trying to express hope it wouldn't get any worse than that. >> sreenivasan: iranian president mahmoud ahmadinejad has rejected gates' criticism. he accuses the u.s. of playing both sides. a series of powerful aftershocks shook chile again as the new president sebastian pinera was sworn in. the strongest of the quakes measured 6.9 and sent people scrambling int

. >> ifill: maliki's fiercest critic, the former prime minister, led a secular coalition which appeared to be doing well in heavily sunni regions. in the kurdish north iraqi president and his followers faced a challenge from a new kurdish party. for more on this weekend's election, i spoke earlier today with jane arraf, baghdad correspondent for the "christian science monitor." hello, jane. we're hearing about a 62% turnout in this election. is that higher than expected despite the violence? >> it is higher than expected. one of the really interesting things that happened yesterday is that here in baghdad, for instance, amid dozens of explosions, the polls understandably emptyed out and then people come back. in ramadi where i was and where i flew in with the u.n., it seemed to be the same thing. people who had been faced with violence even the day before said they weren't going to let that deter them. now i know that sounds sort of like a fairy tale but it really did seem to be true. it did seem to have spurred people on in some sense. >> ifill: is there anyway to know who benefits the

he would have seen it as a modern secular totalitarian regime which is what it was three on the other hand -- >> host: i would say saddam hussein -- >> guest: toward the end he used sunni is one for his purposes, that's right. the other side of it is the language used by the bush administration both before the war and after the invasion which in many ways was mendacious and euphemistic and misleading. it was the kind of bad language that allows bad political fought which is the subject of politics in english language may be the best known of the essays and i think orwell would have been merciless at stripping away the rhetoric of george bush, cheney, donald rumsfeld and karl rove for that matter and so which orwell would have had the vote, the antitotalitarian who would have seen iraqi exactly as it was and known that to stand up against saddam was to stand up for the kurds and masses of iraqis who did not want to continue this way and he would have understood one learned as most iraqis were relieved to have that regime -- >> host: let's not forget. >> guest: exactly. that's been forg

this is more than a secular discipline. empowered by the authority of god. prestand before the boys representatives of god all the agust authority that comes with it. in this case, the young boy brought up with god, firmly believe his church. this is not a place for three strikes and you're out, where christian sympathy should go to the adult abuser of the trust. it's the place where the first claimant to our sympathy and justice must be the child. the vulnerable young boy who finds himself under the power of priest and jesus christ and heir to the disciples. if there was ever an easy moral question it should have been what to do with priests who molest children. end the occasion of sin so the priest, in this cane the moral felon, never has the opportunity to act again. if this has been done we would not have the problem we have today in the catholic church. it's up to the church to explain it all, in all moral humility, why this was not done. that is the question catholics and others who respect the church want answered. why it was not done. why we didn't g

he is secular. he represents sunnieies. he is pro american. it is very, very good news for the u.s.ge the flavor of the government right now. if maliki had won he probably would have formed a different kind of government, one that was allied with other shiite and kurdish parties and there was a risk according to many analysts that violence could have started again on a very large scale. >> with the things you've told us about allawi we expect the reaction from u.s. officials to be positive. >> absolutely expect it to be positive. they'll be cautious in the beginning because u.s. officials won't want to seem like they're influencing this process. they won't want to seem like they're pushing it from the -- from washington but u.s. official ness the green zone, in the embassy, are dancing right now. this is very good news. >> richard, i started with this that people were killed with two bombs going off. does that have anything to do with this? >> it's just the violence that exists. it's an unfortunate incident. it's terrible. it's horrible. there are going to be more things like that,

now he is a shiite, but he is secular. he is pro american, and he is very anti-iran. the current government in iraq right now is a religious state that leans toward iran. >> ayad allawi has 91 seats, edging out current prime minister nuri al maliki. but there is likely to be upheaval ahead. >> neither came close to a majority and forming a coalition government could take months of drawn-out negotiations. maliki is not going down without a fight, however. he promised to challenge the outcome in court. >> a state department spokesman called for all candidates and parties to accept the results. >>> in politics here at home, one-time republican power couple john mccain and sarah palin reunited for the first time since 2008. back then, he made her a household name. well today she returned the favor, trying to use her star power to help him get reelected. >> she downplayed his many years in washington, but insisted that he will fight the fight that this very tea party-oriented crowd wants to fight against big spending and taxes. >> he is leading the loyal opposition in cong

you know, we're on a kind of secular decline. in terms of virtually every standard.sehold income, lifestyle, qaults of life. until-- i'm quite convinced we have the capacity to fix it. until we do, you're not going to change that curve. >> rose: we have the capacity but perhaps not the will? >> well, will, and organization and--. >> rose: prescription? we know the prescription, too. >> well, a lot of it you do know. you know what other countries have done and i think we know in our heart what we need to do to fix the education system here. we haven't had the will to do it. and it may take the bankruptcy of a state like california to have us stare into the abyss enough to do some fundamental fixing. i'm watching-- i'm a californian lifelong californian, watching what happens there. this was the richest, best state in the union. and it's been driven into basically insolvency in the last 30 years. >> rose: do you think this president listens to these arguments and listens to business and listens to people like you? >> i can-- i can say that i've had more conversations w

and the prosecutor says this is a secular state.nd i'm sorry, but i don't think any prosecutor would like to do that. but you kind of need an escape valve. and add every other religion has a. the real to them is in the catholic church. this particular case after these two prisoners served 18 years, he went to his diocese and they said we will treat this as pastoral as opposed to congressional and therefore we can get around it. well, why didn't they get around 18 years ago and keep these prisoners? there is an escape valve. yes? >> ladies and gentlemen, for the sake, would you please stand and walk over to the question microphone. i know there are many people who want to hear the questions and answers. we appreciate you walking up and answer your question at the microphone. >> thank you for being here. i am a social worker, a license and social to coworker here in florida. and i'm constantly under pressure to be aware of and closely follow the hip of regulations. since about four or five years ago and i'm wondering if you'd like to

>> well, i mean, if you want to ask why doesn't the vatican follow the same play book that secular government corporations do in crisis management, we could be here all night. i think the truth is... >> rose: (laughs) >> they're on a learning curve on this issue. you know, there is a whole... there is more than 2,000 years of history of seeing the papacy as the church's last line of defense and therefore being extraordinarily reluctant to openly acknowledge things popes have gotten wrong. it often takes the church centuries to be able to bring itself to admit that popes in previous eras made mistakes in judgment. obviously all of that is being radically abbreviated by the dynamics of the this crisis. you know, i do think they will eventually get there. but whether it will be too little or too late, i think that's the open question at the moment. >> rose: the national catholic reporter, an editorial on friday called on benedict "directly answer questions in a credible forum about his role in the mismanagement of the clergy sex abuse crisis." that's the question, isn't it? >> yeah. i mean, look

russell's main point is the one to focus on here, whether there is or not smith gives us a purely natural secular account of how orders can arise about anybody intending them. and for the most part, how individual action can for the most part pretty something quite good for society as a whole without people intending it. now one thing that smith has in mind, and this is the one thing i want to add to what russell said, that he's opposed to the idea that what not to think that the society would be better in many cases if there wereeú er of the pottery firm, claiming that he wanted a certain law, which was actually going to benefit his firm for the good of england. and smith says in the letter essentially he'd much rather have wedgwood admits he's doing it for himself. basically smith doesn't trust merchants when they claim that they're doing something for the good of the public. he thinks it's better if they simply ask for their private interests. and if everyone does that on the whole, i guess russell said it's very important he doesn't think this is true in every case. on the whole win people t

so there's some secular change in this relationship we started out with. the first 15 months of the recession average duration increased with unemployment at roughly the rate he would have expected. this indicated by the series of red dots that fall along the top of the blue cloud and/or parallel to the black lines we started off following the trend path but since the first quarter of 2009 average duration is increased much more rapidly than the rise in the unemployment rate would predict. the extension of unemployment insurance benefits while helpful supporting unemployed house likely account for a portion of the recent rise in the unemployment duration. even so, we view the overall lead to of increases as an indicator of labor market conditions are even bleaker than the unemployed and a rate alone suggests. this weakness may also explain why the share of those outside of the labour force has also grown so much. many people stopped searching for jobs given the lack of demand for their services at prevailing wages. now let's turn to the implications of the

there was some secular change in this relationship.the first 15 months of the recession average increase of roughly the rate you would have expected. this is indicated by the series of red dots that all along the top and are parallel to the black lines. we started off following that path. since the first quarter of 2009, the average duration has increased much more rapidly. the extension of unemployment insurance benefits, while helpful, likely accounts for a portion. even so, we view the overall magnitude that indicated that the labor market conditions are weaker than the unemployment rate alone suggests. this may also explain why the share of those outside the labor force has also grown so much. many people have stopped searching for jobs given the lack of demand for their services. let's turn to the implications of rising long-term unemployment. this -- the rise in un -- long- term unemployment has occasions going forward. the likelihood of finding the job tends to decline as an individual remained out of work. this reflects the fac

now i start from the position of just on national security but across the board that in a secular terms on this earth there is no authority superior to the constitution. that's a very simply. people talk about the role of international law and i like to ask the question does international law trump the constitution? is it superior to the constitution? there are only three possibilities either international law, superior to the constitution or its inferior or its equal. i don't know how the system works where it's equal but i think if you ask most international scholars they would see if course international law trumps the constitution. the constitution is a reflection of what international scholars call municipal law as opposed to international law we. i don't view it that way and i think this is a great point. this is a decisive question that we ought to be asking politicians. in the priority in the hierarchy of legal systems where does the constitution if it? i think for americans it fits at the top and i don't think there is anything superior. so when we hear people challenge our a

it also is more secular than many people realize. yes there is an islamic horse into the population but they've got to fundamentally come around to a political structure. can they do it? well, they did do a very importantly in the provincial power salt which was the conventional and regional powers and i thought struck a fine and workable balance with the help of crocker cover with the help of people in the embassy in that key second-tier level of iraqi politicians who are much for pragmatic than a lot of these political leaders who are devices and sectarian influences. in my view and i'm very disappointed the administration did not accept my recommendation to appoint an envoy and instead they appointed an ambassador with never been in the region before. i know prince hill is an accomplished diplomat and i don't mean to make any personal attack on his professional reputation, but simply the critical endgame. it's now. and i've covered insurgencies all over latin america. the endgame is political and you've got to get a political syst

lahr or secular community? now, cully and i know from our time looking at this effort from a u.s. standpoint we're concerned with we're detaining individuals in another country. we're a non non-secular outside country, whereas if you're looking indonesia or in singapore, you have a government working with their own citizens. so these are the factors that end up making the determination of how a program is developed and ip presented. implemented. but lastly, the final factor which is perhaps the most critical and, i think, which david will talk about as well what are the factors of radicalization involved with those we have in custody? how are we to understand those that we are holding and wanting to work with, how did they get there? what paths did they follow to commit or join with a terrorist organization? this is still a widely-contested debate, but factors that are of concern and have interplay to be the sources of radicalization include ideology, economic motivations whether they're joining, you know, the paycheck that comes with being a member of some of these organizations,

perhaps there is something more secular going on. >> no kidding. >> i don't know. just something to think about. >> an inside goody from the shopping front from erin. >> that's right. >> i had no idea. not that i spend a whole lot of time in bed, bath & beyond. >> now you know they have tooth baste. >> lions gate rejecting a deal from carl icon. they are reportedly trailing in the race to buy mgm. time warner in the lead, yeah. they're bidding $1.5 billion for mgm, which, of course, is a legend in hollywood. time warner and mgm trading at year to date highs. >>> the dow closing yesterday at its highest level since october 2008. is the bull market run here to stay? we'll get the buzz beyond the big board next. >>> and maybe you should forget about china. because google now is another problem. this time in europe. shares are down 10% for goog so far this year. we have got that story after this. hey can i play with the toys ? sure, but let me get a little information first. for broccoli, say one. for toys, say two. toys ! the system can't process your response at this

>> well, you know, i mean, if this were a secular government, we would be impaneling a bipartisan commission they would have subpoena powers and comb through the records to find out what happened, but that is not typically how the vatican works, but if we have learned one thing through the crisis, business as usual won't cut it. so this may jar loose a new modus operandi. >> thank you so much for being here. you can see more from john allen on "ac 360," and additional and compelling moments from our interview with sinead o'connor. >>> and president obama scoring one of the top ten security aims. we have details on that ahead. >>> a fascinating story of a beauty queen becoming the queen of cocaine. at least that is what she wanted to become. and she is talking to cnn, and "crime and punishment" is ahead. a guy named his own price, wants a room tonight for 65 dollars. we don't go lower than 130. big deal, persuade him. okay. $65 for tonight. you can't argue with a big deal. we're so sure priceline has the biggest hotel deals we're announcing the big deal guarantee, book a hotel with name your

i believe he understands that his country's long-term interest and his own as the head of a secular governmentices, those long-term interest are not well served by aligning syria with a revolutionary shi'ite regime in iran and the terrace clients. to the contrary commissary would be a much firmer footing if it instead builds meaningful ties with america, that arab neighbors and the west. president decide understands the economic stakes as well. syria's oil well began to run dry justice of the population under 18 begins to enter the marketplace and exasperated by budget deficits and corruption and drug. it wants to join in the global economy that will require closer ties with the rest of the world. we should be realistic about what impeachment could accomplish it will not come automatically or overnight. but let me be clear it will never come at the expense of lebanon us sovereignty but if we do succeed, it can be transformative in galvanizing the arab-israeli peace process and dramatically improving the situation for our friends in israel, lebanon iraq and the west bank. in short, this moment

illustrating the and a little flexibility on display at nabe we have pivoted to the secular productivity theme in the changes that are ongoing with hospitals regardless of major reform. these topics are critically important. given the budgetary pressures almost exclusively due to growing health expenditures. a.k.a. the last presentation. in our to superb speakers here to discuss these issues. david cutler is the professor of applied economics department of economics in kennedy school of government at harvard university. i know the name resonates for many in this room. professor cutler observed on the council of economic advisers and national economic council during the clinton administration, advised the presidential campaign of bill bradley and senior health care adviser to presidential campaign of barack obama. in he has held positions with the national the suits of how the national academy of sciences, currently is a research associate at the national bureau of economic research. and a member of the institute of medicine. prolific writer is today's over used academic accolade in, but

not only some of the arab sunni instances or so-called secular of list but also with regard to the kurdsin a very large way. i do want to also emphasize however not all shia are the same. during the i ran -- gura nye war it was like world war i with poise and grass to get gas and barbwire and so forth. it wasn't a famous sons on the front-line fighting against iranians. often times it was the shia conscript's treated like dirt by saddam hussein's regime. we have to recognize there's still a force of iraqi nationalism on the shia in fact if the united states underestimated the psychological impact of occupation, the iranians have underestimated the importance of iraqi nationalism all along. the idea that there can be a grand coalition between maliki's state of the wall list and the alliance to be is laughable it might exist on paper but i can't imagine shia and iraq as diverse political and fractious as they are sticking to the eckert there is devoting as if the had the party loyalty of the british parliament. de-baathification i also wanted me now seems in many cases to be more on the po

you're seeing a bipartisan effort to stop a secular socialist machine and you're seeing a very partisanhey'll go next. they want to bring up immigration next and further expand their reach and further increase the number of people who owe their lives to government and so they've decided they're going to attack the conservatives on two grounds. one is racism and the other is that it's inappropriate to ask tough questions and to raise tough issues and anybody who is doing it is an obstructionist. what you're going to see is not the audacity of hope, but the audacity of raw, pure power in an effort to stifle everybody and so if you say there is something wrong with the bill, you're either a racist or obstructionist because you no longer have the right as an american to question those who have power. it's a very audacious gamble, but it's designed i think to set up the immigration fight as their next step because they want to consolidate power as rapidly as they can before they have to face the voters. >> steve: newt, thank you very much. >> thank you. >> steve: all right. 19 minutes after

we are a non secular outside authority.ficulty when implementing something, when we are looking at indonesia or singapore, where we have a government working with their own citizens. these are factors in determining how a program is developed and implemented. the final factor, which is perhaps the most critical, and which i think we will talk about as well, is what are the factors of radicalization involved with those we have in custody? how are we to understand those who we are holding? what pat did they follow to commit or join with a terrorist organization? this is still a widely contested debate, but factors that are concerned and have interplay to be the sources of de- radicalization include ideology, economic motivations -- whether they are enjoying a for the paycheck that comes with being a member, local resources, local grievances against the centrally -- against the central government. is it macro-grievances? how can we address those in a de-radicalization program? with that overview of the basic questions involved

and is very nonsecular secular community? cully and i know from our time working on the suffer from a u.s. standpoint, we're concerned with where detaining individuals in another country, where an outside authority. where a nonsecular outside authority so that we have another layer of difficulty when implementing something, whereas the good-looking and indonesia or in singapore, now you have a government working with their own citizens. and so, these are the factors that end up making a determination about program is developed and implemented. the lasley, the final factor which is perhaps the most critical and i think which side they will talk about as well. what are the factors of radicalization about with those in custody? how are we to understand is that we are holding and wanted to work with, how did they get their? what path did they follow to commit or joined with the terrorist organization? this is still a widely contested debate, but that there's that are of concern and have interplay to be the sources of radicalizati
