koh is quite open about it, shockingly, really. i suggest if we become transnational we suffer two blows to our legal system. first the laws we are subject to would not be laws made by us. this would remind us of the boston tea party. the colonies objected to paying taxes but not just any taxes. they objected because the taxes were being imposed on them by the british parliament and they didn't have a voice in it. the complaint was taxation without representation. thus, the moral power of the american law to compel obedience arises from the people's choice to enact it in the first place, that moral authority is undermined when we allow foreign law we had nothing to do with to impact our law. that is a pernicious thing, i suggest. secondly, it is not ever going to work in our good way. most countries don't have law, the truth be known. they have politics masquerading as law. trying to merge our system based on truth, the law and the evidence with these political legal systems will only result in our being shortchanged. we can reach

the bush administration was shockingly run. this was not an attack of war. it was a terrorist attack. if we lived in europe we would be used to this. the reason more people die this because we have more people living here. in britain they detain people and put them under house arrest. they have a bracelet and and anklet and the the come up for periodic review. they do have some problems with it but i think it would be more humane. it does not matter how the other side treats you. that is like the sending to the same level they do. it is like saying that two rights make a wrong. it is argument to the masses, illogical. but i think we should take the moral high ground here. we are already locking up people and detaining people in afghanistan. i think it is awful. host: thanks for your call. this is a look at "the detroit free press" about the life of john conyers. it's as he took cash and jewelry, says an ex-aide. this is a story about monica conyers who has admitted accepting bribes. but the detroit councilwoman's political advisor and onetime chief of staff

and nearly age years after 9/11, shockingly, we still have not made good on the 9/11 commission's recommendation to build an interoperable public safety communications network. so from addressing these challenges and others to maintaining the openness of the internet, which many of us i think you know care about passionately, as well as maintaining a laboratory for invasion, i think you're going to see some of the biggest challenges we face in this field. but i'm confident that this commission is up to the task of implementing the president's technology agenda, so we look forward to a swift confirmation and we particularly look forward to working closely with you. and we hope that you will commit here in the hearings to a strong, candid and, you know, really cooperative relationship with the committee. >> for those of you who may be trying to figure out how to pronounce his name, we've had researchers at work for three days on that. and it's pronounced chow. >> well. we changed our name. it's janikowski. >> all those people are going to be laid off. i hope that you would introduce your family. >

louis fed, the richmond fed, shockingly, find in agreement with you, an unprecedented agreement, where you agreed to absorb any losses that would be incured by the fed. the treasury actually signed that agreement. my first question is yes or no, do you support the concept of having the presidents of each bank be confirmed by the senate? >> no. >> thank you. for the record, before this month is out, how much t.a.r.p. money will aig, can you provide for the record before this month is out, how much t.a.r.p. money aig has disbursed since january 1st of this year and who are the recipients? >> i think so, but i can't do that here. >> can you do it within the month? >> i think that information is in the public domain. >> how many of those and which contracts were paid at 100% on the dollar and which were not? >> i wish there was a legal contract, there was no bankruptcy allowed. we need a system where we can renegotiate those things, but we don't have a system like that. >> well, we are going to want as much detail as you can provide for the record because the fed is really, heavily involve

she devoted a chapter of her book called the cruelty of charity, explaining a shockingly inhumane case for the systematic denial of prenatal and maternal health care for poor pregnant women. she said such benevolence is not merely superficial and nearsighted, it conceals a stupid cruelty and leads to a deterioration in the human stock and the per petchuation of defectives, delinquents. it is to me and many mobes who are pro life extraordinarily difficult to see how anyone can be in awe of margaret sanger, a person who made no secret of views that were antithetical to protecting the human rights of the weakest and most vulnerable and to suggest that her work remains undone around the world is deeply troubling. i asked our secretary of state is the obama administration seeking in any way to weaken or overturn pro life laws and policies in african and latin american countries either directly or through multilateral organization, including and especially the united nations, the african union, the organization for american states? and i also asked her, does the new or does the united states
