beforehand and i know that state department. employees aren't allowed to look at wiki leaks documents even though they are public is that right that's correct in fact it worked the computer fire was set up to prevent us from looking either at the weekly stock in its themselves or even websites that talk about the weekly leaks documents at home however there are no such predators and i was able to look at the documents myself as well and my question is you know so then why do you think that you've been singled out or are getting some kind of special treatment when you throw parties of clowns sometimes they're not very happy about that and my book is very truthful very accurate but unfortunately very critical of the efforts we made in iraq right now there are some five hundred foreign service blogs on the internet now to be fair most of them are travelogues we're here in ethiopia and it's a great time in the sun shines all the time or whatever but there are a few that do dress political issues and as far as i know as long as they

within the state department, the impetus for such planning must come from the highest levels. i will be interested to hear the nominee's views of the united states national security priorities. the state department's response to intensifying budget limitations, and the prospects for improving strategic planning at the state department and throughout our government. it is quite a challenge. we welcome miss sherman. i thank the chair and look forward to our discussion. >> thank you very much, senator lugar. it's now my privilege to introduce my colleague in the united states senate, senator barbara mikulski. >> good morning, senator cardin, senator lugar, senator demint. it is with a great deal of pride and enthusiasm i come before you today to unabashedly lend my support for wendy sherman to be the undersecretary of state for political affairs. i believe secretary clinton has chosen wisely because the am bass dorn sherman because -- ambassador sherman brings to this post an exceptional background and great deal of skill. she has unique abilities she wants to put to work in the p

a hardworking state department official for twenty three years now interrogated by the very place he pledged loyalty so why then with peter van buren treated like a terrorist suspects by his own employer we'll speak with the man who's now could stand to lose his job after speaking out about losing the hearts and minds of the people in iraq. drone first asked later an american born cleric killed at the hands of the u.s. government so our mainstream headline celebrating the death of our new enemy number one or the loss of justice rule of law and due process we'll speak with investigative journalist jeremy scahill. occupy wall street protests are gaining momentum this friday and we've been there since day one today we'll speak with yet another woman pepper sprayed in the face by police plus what's up with the mainstream media saying protesters are overreacting to being pepper sprayed the news starts now. after two decades and the state department peter van buren is now under investigation for allegedly disclosing classified information he could lose his job and he's been interrogated as

welcome back after two decades in the state department peter van buren is now under investigation for allegedly disclosing classified information and he could lose his job and he has been interrogated as you might imagine a terrorist suspect would be why well because he posted a link on his blog to a diplomatic cable that had already been released by wiki leaks and other words one that is available to anyone on the web at any moment and has been very much public independently of van buren blog wolf now blog posts are reportedly supposed to be pre-cleared by the state department prior to publication fearing thinks there's something else going on he thinks he's getting special attention for another reason he's written a book it's a new book about how he helped lose the battle for iraq is hearts and minds as part of the civilian surge in iraq where he helped try to buy iraqis love to win the war with projects like these here are some examples from his book there was a donkey play to keep neighbors from bickering that was twenty two grand there was a round of french pastry classes for dis

over the next five years alone and there are more clues as to where the state department will carry a strong presence and basra the u.s. base will stop posting thousands of u.s. soldiers however the u.s. consulate is undergoing a massive expansion and is expected to hold over twelve hundred employees most of which will be security contractors along with civilian officials from the state department's bureau of international narcotics and military personnel to oversee oversee bump in sales and security training now there are also plans for a consulate and terrible it will have approximately fourteen hundred people and will be the operating post for the security cooperation facility and don't forget we already have the one billion dollar u.s. embassy in baghdad that was one billion to one hundred four acre compound is the largest u.s. diplomatic outpost in the world and it's home to three thousand troops contractors and civilian officials now the state department appears to be doing its best to take over where the troops left off they're requesting five point two billion dollars just i

state department a legitimate authority?> assange: it's legitimate insofar as its actions are legitimate. it has actions that are not legitimate. >> kroft: and you've gone after the ones that you think are illegitimate? >> assange: we don't "go after." that's a bit of a misconception. we don't go after a particular country. we don't go after a particular organizational group. we just stick to our promise of publishing the material that is likely to have a significant impact. >> kroft: to increase the impact of the u.s. documents, assange decided to share them with some of the leading news organizations in the world, including the "new york times," a relationship that grew testy when assange published the first set of war logs without removing the names of afghans who were cooperating with u.s. forces. the most persistent criticism from within the press has been that you have behaved recklessly, from time to time. and the example that they cite is that you've decided to release afghan documents without redacting the names of

and the state department doesn't like that someone that is employed by them is criticizing them keep in mind that peter van britt here and also has a book coming out where he criticizes our efforts in iraq and i'm sure the state department doesn't like that as well so i understand the logic behind the state department wanting to interrogate him and investigate this but at the same time you know he should be protected he should have the ability to share his perspective and his points of view without worrying about having serious consequences for his employers you know the first thing that comes to mind are professors and it's very important for professors to have the protection of tenure because they are supposed to be able to participate in the free marketplace of ideas they're supposed to be able to publish work without worrying about getting fired and i think maybe when it comes to governmental officials maybe the same type of protection should be considered so and i love the idea that the state department right now is saying that they're investigating here and because he is releas

state department is confirmed and they did get a heads up from the organization but they said they have no plans to cooperate with them so could be negligence on the part of wiki leaks could be negligence on the part of the guardian or who knows who else but the mainstream media has been quick to jump on this story soak up the drama to put julian assange into the spotlight again i'm fortunate result of this coverage is what's been overlooked what the cables actually reveal and recently made public state department cable provides evidence that u.s. troops executed at least ten iraqi civilians and then call that an airstrike to destroy the evidence among the dead are four women and five children and autopsies performed in the iraqi city of to create show that all the dead have been handcuffed and shot in the head it's a gruesome tragedy and you nobody wants to pay any attention to it joins me to discuss this is kevin just a civil liberties blogger at firedoglake ken i want to thank you for joining us tonight and now correct me if i'm wrong but were you one of the first people that actuall

well whistleblower within the state department to shed light on get more instances of wasteful spending by the u.s. in iraq state department employee peter van buren was in iraq from two thousand and nine to two thousand and ten part of a provincial reconstruction team so iraq ben-gurion came across several unnecessary projects are being funded by u.s. taxpayer dollars take for instance a children's art calendar local baghdad school children and had a contest for the best artwork for a calendar that calendar was then distributed to a nearby neighborhood but the rest of the calendars all ended up going to the state department employees and the price tag was only eighteen thousand dollars or how about a local gym for cider city residents that was rejected rated with a large world apparently looks like a man competing in a mr universe contest price tag on that one twenty two thousand dollars from disadvantaged iraqi women were treated to a friendship pastry class thanks to the state department other classes were taught by volunteers there is still a bill of ten thousand dollars to be paid

will it be thumbs up or down for this pipeline which the state department is considering. ive, nebraska state senator tony fulton and alex forbay temperature gentlemen, thank you both for being here. senator, it sounds great. they are talking about how this will inject $20 billion into our economy. taxpayers don't have to fund it. it's not a stimulus we have to pay for. it will be a company that does it. millions in taxes. what's the problem? >> well, pleased to be with you, megyn. all the reasons given in favor of this pipeline, i want to be clear, i'm in support of the pipeline. it brings jobs. it will bring revenue into our great state. lessens our dependence on foreign oil it many the route. we are concerned about the route. we would like to have this pipeline. we are grateful for this pipeline but the route causes concern. it will go through the sand hills and the ogallala aquifer. megyn: are you worried the pipeline will leak and cause environmental damage? >> the pipeline is going to leak. that's what happens. now, the question is how much is it going to leak? i'm no

state department opposed it. most of the joints chiefs opposed. it >> his white house staff opposed it. >> the vice president and ray odierno and jack keen and kagan at the american enterprise incity tute, it probably would haven't happened. >> he brought jack keen in to talk to the president because he thought he was the person who would be best able to make a forceful argument on behalf of the surge and thought that keen had a great effect doing that. >> cheney's book is chapter of history. they're not that upset about his account of the surge or negotiations with north korea, they should write an essay explaining their understanding of what happened. ultimately, as cheney admits that president bush signed on to secretary rice's policies on north carolinnorth korea. >> they were his personnel policies. >> there is an extraordinary thing about the surge where the spring of 2007 where the surge is getting underway, it is authorized by the president himself. >> wow! when we come back, back to school time. many families are reeling after signing tha

went looking through the state department directory there was no evidence of mr hogan ever working there and we should note two of the signature for mr hogan changed distinctly on each flight that he signed off so it looks like the cia was using mr hogans name as an alias for their rendition flights that way they didn't actually have to let a real deep state department official in on their program now this however is nothing new report from back in two thousand and five the cia often uses aliases in small rural companies to pose a front for secret flights around the world they use these products to send agents and detainees around the world because it's easier to be discreet less noticeable when you're using a huge military plane everything's what is sure that is new people as possible will be out there activities you know it's truly an amazing. but information which has been blocked with a cia for years has finally made it to the public record for most small loss to an upstate new york and like i said yesterday the more we learn about the cia's extraordinary rendition procedures and the

see if i could see the plane as i was headed down to the state department. that plane didn't exist. it was one of the millions of rumors that day. >>atives the first time that i remember and it's never happened since, that people around me in washington, not just in the news room that i was in, but all around the city, were scared, because they didn't know what was going to happen. >> we saw, of course, what was happening in new york city, but then we heard something happened at the pentagon. saw the smoke coming from the pentagon and i knew it was hit before i'd seen it on television. >> i raced to get a taxicab and we went out there. we could only make it halfway over the bridge so i ran the rest of the distance to the pentagon. everyone else was running away from it. >> in that chaos, literally, everything horrible seemed possible. >> i've been at the pentagon when the plane hit, i was evacuated with everyone else at the pentagon. >> i think what i recall more than anything that day, looking across and seeing the smoke rising from the pentagon all day, an

turned out there was no car bomb at the state department. turns out it was a question of the plane that had gone down on the ohio west virginia border. now, that was simply dropped off the radar. there was a report to the plane down in pennsylvania. shanksville, turned out that was true. that was united 93. so as we went through that process in the immediate aftermath, putting together policies and so forth, there's no question there is a significantly elevated level of concern. i felt like i think most of the state, but i don't know how i could've done my job if i hadn't. i had part of my job was as the president was to make certain that we never again got hit the way we did on 9/11. >> well, with that, that you think mr. vice president and the american enterprise in detail for hosting. and thank you all for coming. [applause] >> thank you. thanks so much, stephen, vice president cheney. aei is extraordinarily grateful to have a friend like you. a scholar statesman and men of action, which represents 88th edition so well. we are so thankful

review did manage their investigation based on the sources of the state department deemed it to be of the greatest risk to the investigation and look into every single source and they've left it up to each country's embassy to decide for themselves who actually faces any danger because of those leaks but let's take a look at the criteria that the state department uses to identify what's considered a sensitive source it's anybody who is part of a totalitarian society or failed state who could be imprisoned or anyone who might lose their job or suffer major embarrassment because of leaks information and the u.s. government argues that even leakers who are only sharing friendly information still offering candid insight to sensitive topics and restricted information this type of argument over whether or not to leak data is truly that sensitive in nature and the a.p. also has found several people whose personal information was leaked in those unredacted cables and they also took a pretty passive view on weekly leaks revealing their sources for example frederica bravos meeting with american

the annual report from the us state department also included china, myanmar, iran and sudan. song ji-sun has the details. north korea has maintained its position on the list of countries with no religious freedom... according to the international religious freedom report released by the us state department on tuesday. english "secretary clinton has designated eight states as countries of particular concern. they are burma, china, eritrea, iran, north korea, saudi arabia, sudan and uzbekistan." the list of countries has remained unchanged since 2009... while ten other countries, including afghanistan, egypt, pakistan and russia were cited for failing to sufficiently protect religious rights. the report stated that, although the constitution and other laws and policies protect religious freedom in north korea, genuine religious freedom does not exist... as the government severely restricts religious activity, except that which is tightly supervised by officially recognized groups linked to the government. the north korean government deals harshly with all opponents, including t

it was this nothing new i used talk about in two thousand and seven one thing that a former state department coroner for counterterror terrorism daniel benjamin gave an entire list of things that the u.s. should do to combat al qaeda and the one thing that he didn't say was pledging that the u.s. would pull out of afghanistan and iraq that's right tell me only i know you caught him tell me a little bit about his answer when you asked him why didn't i think it's hard for during a coffee break shouldn't the u.s. pledge to the islamic world never to do this again and to get out of islamic countries with our military force is the most important thing that should be done because for only a moment he said you're right and then he said but we can't do that and then he said the reason is we would have to explain to the families of the people who died in these wars that they died in vain you know i said fashion important thank you very much i think that's that really really is very important and there are so many people who know someone who was lost in these wars and that is the one thing they fear m

she had a lot of help from the state department. condi at that point was secretary of state. i felt that the north koreaians continually walked away from commitments they made. and the tendancy of the state department was to make another concession to see if that wouldn't get them to fulfill their commitments and obligations. they never did. our failure to be consistent over time and keep those commitments, and force them to keep their commitments, i think resulted in a situation where the north koreans not only proliferated technology to syria, they tested another weapon, they went forward and developed uranium enrichment capacity, which we thought they had, they denied it. they in fact have it they have some 2,000 center s operating now. they -- sentra s operating now the they function with immunity in a diplomatic sense we never did get on top of the problem. >> chris: rice has responded and says you attacked her integrity and she never misled the president. >> i don't believe that i attacked her integrity. i did try to make a strong case on the merits on the substance of

state department issued a worldwide travel alert following september 11th. it does not cite any threats but says that u.s. citizens living or traveling abroad should take precautions because al-qaeda and other terrorist groups could strike anywhere. terrorist groups often hit on significant dates to gain maximum attention. the state department encourages americans to register on its website when out of the country. >>> a crash between two big rigs in oakland this morning has left parts of a freeway connector on ramp shut down. the accident happened about two hours ago in the ramp from northbound i-880 to westbound i- 80. one driver was hurt and one of the trucks leaked oil or gasoline on the roadway. as you can see, crews are busy cleaning up the leak right now but the highway patrol told us just a few myths ago that both the lanes of the ramp -- a few minutes ago that both the lanes of the ramp should remain closed. they will reopen later. >>> the freeway in emeryville looks fairly heavy, especially the folks driving on the left side of the screen are headi

sure that state department information was broadly available across the government.leaks, they will they've pull back on some of networks. that has an impact. also i think if you're an ambassador, you'll think to yourself is this going to end up on the front page of a major newspaper. that might have a chilling effect. the information will still come forward, but perhaps rather than the cable, it will be put in an e-mail, in a phone call. that means the reporting is still taking place, but as fran was saying, it means we don't have all the information in one place at the same time to do what we need to do. this pushes us perhaps against the kind of need to share attitude that we've embraced since 9/11 back to a com part mentalization of information. >> need to share to need to know. thank you so much. >> thank you. >>> coming up, will go back to the scene in weather center for the latest on the storm expected to soak the gulf coast this weekend. plus is this another hurricane zeroing in on the irene-ravaged east coast?

ok to stand with one hand tied behind our generals according to the state department's website there are four nations that are state sponsors of terror cuba is one of those nations we would never fight between the united states and cuba it's a state sponsor to. have some of those statements you know make you cringe get a really uncomfortable feeling going up your spine well they should be the first group there is actually reflected not just the candidates but the entire public and party they were asked what the most important words were when it comes to foreign policy and it just said israel and big bold letters listen i know that israel's america's ally. this is something that americans have very strong opinions about but the middle east peace process has been going on for decades it's not can be solved up there by one of the candidates giving a one minute answer most importantly we're not at war in israel we're war in afghanistan and in iraq as well as of course libya pakistan yemen and somalia but we have troops we have americans that are losing their lives every single day in afgh

she had a lot of h help from the state department. conde at that point was the secretary of state but i felt that the north koreans continually walked away from commitments they had made and the tendency of the state department was to make another concession so see if that wouldn't get them to fulfill their commitments and their obligations. they never did. our failure to be consistent over time and keep the commitments and force them to keep their commitments i think resulted in a situation where the north koreans not only proliferated technology to syria, ultimately they tested another weapon. they went forward and developed uranium enrichment capacity which we thought they had. they denied it. turned out they in fact have it. they have got some 2,000 centrifuges operating now. this they basically function with impugnity in a diplomatic sense and we never did get on top of the forth korea problem during our time in office. >> chris: rice says that you basically attacked her integrity and that she never misled the president. >> i don'
