so, judiciary is con stanley evolving but it moves very, very slowly. very slowly.t once someone is there, that man or woman is on the bench in federal court, they're on the bench for life. so it's very important. it's a priority for any president, democrat or republican. it's a priority for them. i think the last president, president bush, i think did an outstanding job of shaping the federal judiciary to what he wanted it to be and what his constituents wanted that court to represent. i think he did an outstanding job of that. he got very few road blocks along the way. and i think it's a model this president could emulate. >> hopefully. >> hopefully. that's right. >> i'd like to thank hue-man bookstore again for having me and thank you all for leaving work early to come out to talk with me aboutthis. thank you.

general stanley mcchrystal says this guy will be caught, brought to justice, presumably in a court of the opposing viewpoint offered by eric holder says, he thinks he won't be caught alive. what do you think about the differing views here? what's that signal to you? >> i think they're all trying to look really tough so the line from the right has been that the obama administration is soft on terrorism, they favor civilian trials instead military trials, they want to close down guantanamo and i think there is a big push-back against this saying we are being tough on these guys, we've killed 600 and some taliban and al qaeda figures just in the last year and a half. that's more than the bush administration was able to kill in the last four years in the administration. so we're being tough and they're just trying to project this toughness right now in congress and elsewhere. >> a lot of al qaeda-related operations though are secret. they're covert, joby. why is it that leon panetta's coming out now and talking about them? >> i think they're pushing several people out to make that point r
