ted and i like reporting any invest a piece of news. no, we have no idea where the story was going to take us. we knew the beginning, we knew the ending because it happened. but we didn't know where the road was going to take us along the way. we did not there were certain questions we need to tackle. one of them was the politics. we needed to at least be able to get to a point of understanding the timing of the bus. >> the accusations were flying left and right very, very quickly. >> and everybody heard him. and, in fact, the accusations continued as he read through the book, you still see that there still some lingering hostility over the issue. not from governor corzine, interestingly. he does not believe it was political. but other people do. so the pro-corzine spent for lack of a better term, was that the feds were beholden to chris, they all got promoted by chris. they all loved chris, that they timed this in the middle of the election because this would highlight christies background as a corruption busting super prosecutor, and

supervisor elsbernd: i might as well as the question of you, ted. is this intended to apply to park merced? >> it is based on where the permits have been granted. it could very well affect park merced. supervisor elsbernd: what about trinity plaza? >> it might meet the definition of condemned or ineligible. i think that is also a prime example of a 2/3 vote by the board of supervisors. supervisor elsbernd: we have had lots of discussion today about in tents. your intent with this among others is to stop the park merced project. >> yes. supervisor elsbernd: thank you for getting that on the record. since that project has a development agreement and there may be a referendum, and this legislation impact a development agreement? >> of development agreements are authorized by state statute and it provides that subsequent land use controls cannot work to impair the rights and obligations of the city under a development agreement. to the extent that there are valid agreements, this ordinance would not apply. supervisor elsbernd: it looks like the authors

not true. >> what do you say, ted? >> i'd say i think peter's right about that, but i think the basic reason is i know the way that i think that i was opposed to the war too and spoke out against it when i got an opportunity like those people you spoke of in the group, but it's very hard for an individual to write an op-ed, i write op-eds so i know, that tells the whole country that political leaders are wrong and we ought to do something totally different than they want to do. something as basic as whether we go to war or whether we don't, and i just think it's just too big a job for an individual to tackle plich. i mean, there's some very courageous people like yourself who would speak out against it like you did with the problems against the corvette, but you didn't add $200 million towards the advertising campaign. peter is right. to have the infrastructure to do that properly takes years. you need an advertising agency, and a lot of things that regular businessmen who look at the bottom line, investment bankers an

is continuing to fund the campaign despite the opposition of congress let's go to ted well i was a calm columnist and also use joining us from florida thanks for being on r.t. ted it is nato slow response to the rebels needs based on the political situation the delicate political situation or other factors at work what is going on if you think. it's really political need to do is essentially the arm of the united states which is currently at war with troops on the ground in two nations in the middle east. in the political feeling in the united states is that people are just not willing to support opening a third front with boots on the ground as the expression goes here so people do not want to see him there on the left or on the right. that means that needle is in a support mode where it means a little bit of training and obviously weapons shipment and hopefully financial support but the practical effect is that it has. neither side in the libyan conflict is in a position to close the deal ted we've got a few problems actually this thing should have scuds breaking up will stay with it

joining us jim hammer, diana 10 miss and bernie grimm and ted williams.presents brandon sparks the son of the man who found caylee's remains. jim, who did george and cindy help or hurt? >> i think it cut both ways a little bit. i think the problem for the prosecution beyond how did this girl die, if she died at someone's hands, who? you get three people involved. then the possible scenarios start multiplying. was it something in the pool? did the girl drown? did the father have something to do with it? the jury begins to say who did it, what happened? i don't know. i gotta vote not guilty. >> greta: ted and be candid. >> i will be candid. let me give you a ted williams news alert, i believe and i think it will come out in some stage in the future, that cindy and george were gonna do anything and any means necessary to save their daughter from having a needle in her arm. as a result of that, cindy came out with the chloroform and i believe that was part and parcel to help -- >> greta: i don't buy that. i relistened to an interview i did with cindy two year

developments in a story with american political cartoonist and columnist ted rall ted thanks very much indeed for joining us here live now with this official recognition the u.s. and a number of other countries showing that they want the rebels now in power but bearing in mind the support we're seeing fica daffy in the country itself is that really what libyan people as a whole want. well nobody knows you know this reflects a huge change in american policy in terms of state department policy in the past it was very very difficult to obtain diplomatic recognition by the united states considering the situation with taiwan which lost its diplomatic recognition in one nine hundred seventy two even though it is de facto an independent nation the united states still will not acknowledge it as a fully independent state at the end of world war two france requested independent recognition for the gaullist movement the free french and yet the roosevelt administration went many many years actually throughout world war two recognizing the puppet nazi regime of the she france without recognizing th

ted rowlands, cnn, los angeles. >> the black dahlia case. mean, this is a case which s fascinated hollywood and the country for decades. >> best-selling book, movie, all that spin. but i do believe it who killed the black call yeah, the main suspect they have, the doctor who is now deceased, i believe he got away with that. they never charged him. he was a stalker. he was the main suspect. they never had enough to indict him. she was dismembered by someone who had great knowledge of anatomy and had skills in surgery. he was the logical suspect. but back in those day they didn't have the tools that we have now. >> it was obviously sensationalized the case, not just because the victim was beautiful but because of the gruesome way that she was killed. >> the way he displayed her. he displayed her as a trophy, like lots of serial killers and horrible narcissistic murdersers do. he displayed her in a field for the whole world to see his work in. my heart and in my gut from doing this so many years, i believe it was that doctor. >> it's also inter

i was interviewing ted kennedy for a book on presidential politics and the gun law. and he became a dear friend, and he was wonderful, warm, generous man. he had people working to help me and we had a two-hour meeting. he took his time. and it was really quite wonderful. i always so enjoy them doing something like this or just in a social situation. but i've personally content with this days were. i was feeling great. i would go home and the next morning i am sitting in front of, i'm sitting in my bed dictating my notes from a conversation with ted and the tv is sort in the back of the outlook up and there's a plane hitting the world trade center, you know, where i taken my daughter for dinner not all that long before. and i just couldn't make sense of it. like a lot of americans, you know, i'm thinking how in the world does an airline pilot fly into, you know, a plane. this makes no sense to me at all. and you think in the back of something is terribly wrong. and then, of course, the second flight. washington was a ghost town. i couldn't get out. i was struck becaus

first of all that interview with ted kennedy but also within hours of 9/11 and what it instilled in you. >> it was remarkable because just going about my business, i was interviewing a ted for a book on presidential politics and the gun lobby. he became a hit your friend and was a wonderful and warm and generous man and have people working to help me. we had a two-hour meeting and he took his time with me and it was quite wonderful, and i so enjoyed being with him whether we were doing something like this or just a social situation that any event i am content with this work into the next morning i am sitting dictating my notes from the conversation with ted and the tv sort of in the background hitting the world trade center where i have taken my daughter for dinner not all that long before, and i just couldn't make sense of it like a lot of americans who in the world does an airline pilot fly to a plan it makes no sense to me at all. thinking of things wrong in the second plan, washing with a ghost town. likely to get out, but it was struck as the world had changed, and i was not in

what does he take from ted kaczynski that we ought to think about?obviously, he lifted some of the passages from the unabomber manifesto. not surprising, we are 15 years from the time kaczynski was arrested. we have individuals who are impacted by what he wrote. that is what kaczynski hoped would happen over the years. i'm a little concerned we are starting to see people doing that. >> shepard: his word that he acted with -- that there are two other cells out there and other people involved. i guess that is something you have to take with a grain of salt with everything else he says? >> it is very interesting. i'm sure law enforcement in norway are doing what they have to do, to follow the trail. to follow the evidence. to follow the facts. that will answer those questions. what is really interesting is that if you look back at these lone bombers and you take kaczynski for examming, he said he was part of a terrorist group, it was just him. robert rudolph the olympic bomber say he was part of the army of god. we know there was no army of god. there w

ted rowlands for us in grand rapids, michigan., thank you. >>> human rights watch says libyan rebels have been beating civilians and looting their homes and businesses over the past month. cnn's senior international correspondent ben wedeman went to one of the four villages named in the report to investigate, but during the coverage, weidman and his crew got caught in the middle of a five-hour long fire fight in the village of gawalish. that's in today's sound effect. watch what happened. >> you guys, wait. wait.

(laughter) >> jon: but it -- it was like a cartoon. he just looked up and went yeah! >> and you know why he made that sound. >> jon: no. >> because i know the vodka you give away on this show. because i've been here many times. let me finish, let me finish, i want to say something, jon gives away the potato vodka, isn't it, potato based vodka. >> we give away whatever people give to us give away. >> here is the thing. >> i'm middleman. >> okay, potato based vodka and the thing for irish guys is we are always amazed. we can't b

ted kennedy beat mitt romney in 1994 on jobs, jobs, jobs. and yet democrats in washington right now, tonight, are, what, at this point reduced to trying to save the country's credit score. this fight in washington was forced by congressional republicans. and congressional republicans are losing it. the country trusts president obama and the democrats to deal with this matter more than they trust republicans. if catastrophe happens because of this standoff, people will blame the republicans for making it happen. republicans picked this fight. they forced this fight. they picked this fight. and they are in the process of losing this fight. so here's the big question. will democrats be able to pivot from winning this stupid fight in washington that didn't have to happen, will they be able to pivot from that into winning the real fight for jobs, for infrastructure, for stimulus, for a freaking wpa or something, some other big, bold proven thing to save the economy from this jobs disaster that is turning out to be even worse than we ever could ha

joining us diana tennis, bernie grim and ted williams. ted rep -- represents roy kronk's son.e? >> i think the relevance is when the defense opened the door yesterday by pointing out -- questioning george that things he said and did were because he felt guilty about the way he treated his daughter and the cover-up of the accidental death of his granddaughter that opened the door to the prosecution leading him down the primrose path of the things i did were because i thought my granddaughter was missing. and then i was devastated she was dead. and devastated that i thought my daughter had something to do with it. >> greta: the most bizarre thing bernie, here the defense theory is that because of an accident that he is somehow guilty for covering up an accident. there's nothing wrong with an accident. an accident isn't a crime. >> accident you pick up the phone and say oh my god my granddaughter just slipped in the pool, she is not breathing. i feel bad about a lot, none of the things i've done to ted i feel bad about. you wouldn't go into a suicidal melancholy story if i was an

ted rep -- represents the son of the man who found caylee's remains.ghly technical case on elements of murder. you have a situation where the remains have been out in the elements for six months, destroying lots of the opportunity to determine cause of death. your thoughts on this verdict? >> what ended with is where i would start. i've prosecuted a bunch of murder cases and investigated a bunch. when you have a bed that decomposed the crime scene is 0 -- have a body that is that decomposed, the crime scene is obliterated, juries want if they are going to vote guilty say i feel like i know how it happened. i feel like i know the motive and i believe he or she did i. the best evidence they had is liar, liar. >> greta: it is not a question of wanting. it is whether the prosecution has proven every almost of the charge, one she was killed by the hands of someone else. if the evidence isn't there the jury doesn't have a choice, if the jury is not convinced. >> the jury is going to say to the state i'm if the going to make up evidence that you don't have. w

today ted democracy now exposed to army reservist marshall thompson dispensing year in iraq working as a military journalist the son of a former you time they are he now plans to walk across his home state in the red in the nation press house for this point it doesn't matter why we go into the war or what the partisan politics rip up the matters is the two soldiers die every day on average and any any way that we can in this war one day soon as to right so that i would walk five hundred miles for that i would walk a thousand miles for. some people said some terrible things not never to my face you know but in even now they got this electronic bravery and they really say some crazy things one guy wrote in and he said that he hoped that i got run over by a truck i'm going to walk. a lot of people said i just hope you keep walking the mexico or you leave this country going on here. and we'll gavan said that he wished that i had died in iraq because then i would have been honorable. so i was about to go speak at utah state to help promote the walk in right before we go we had a phone call

democrats are already preparing to use that against him, just as ted kennedy's campaign did in 1994, when romney ran for senate in massachusetts. today, politico posted a kennedy ad that never aired attacking romney's record at the consulting firm bain & company. >> mitt romney says he caved bain & company. but he didn't tell you that when he took over he had his assistant fire hundreds of people. or that he took a $10 million federal bailout. the rest of us had to absorb the loss. ro romney and others made $4 million in the deal, which cost ordinary people $10 million. >> joining me now is dana milbank, national political reporter for "the washington post." dana, that is the campaign against mitt romney, if he makes it to the nomination. but will republicans -- will any republican be able to exploit that kind of thing against him in a primary fight? >> i don't see why not. i mean, and the only reason this ad wasn't used is because mitt romney had already been wiped out by other ads pointing to other deals at bain that had gone sour in the first place. it seemed this would be applica

ted and ted also tell us the latest big name to be brought in after the likes of no nonsense and some not for you also. now relations between a stone ians and russians living in a stone here has been strained over the last decade however one man has come up with a novel way to get the two communities interacting again so this what rich upon quarterly reports. yes. yes. you and hearing you assume a russian on this pitch i mean english below don't buy this man john sweeney a former major in the british army he's been living in tallinn for the last twenty years has been trying to introduce the new soldier greg b. to b. u. of this baltic nation we set up. seven tigers multi-sport scales chords and we know get a stone in a russian school play so if three balls three different ball game. this year is our first year. and hopefully next year we will continue some of the main part of this project is to try and get the russians in the stone use playing together something which unfortunately is an all too rare occurrence unless you get children between nine and eleven meeting each other regularl

joining us diana tennis, jim hammer and ted williams.ught about these letters and their content? >> they seem naive. they seemed youthful very cook eyed optimist. they -- cook eyed optimist. they seemed determined they didn't appear to be sinister or evil. that wasn't my take. they seemed like age-appropriate imagineary friend kind of young woman yarn spinning. i don't know. >> greta: i'm horrified. >> were you? >> greta: yeah. i was horrified by the content. at best, she had a missing child she didn't report, at best. ted? >> let's be very candid. >> greta: i like when you are candy. i hate when you come here and lie. >> the bottom line is, casey is no dummy casey knew she was facing charges for actually killing a child. what better defense if these letters are admissible is to manufacture, present these letters showing she is a will having person who loved children. >> greta: bernie, your turn. >> i'm somewhere in between diana and whatever hammer has to say, i'll agree with that she is grandiose. she has no connection to reality. her

accused rapist vs cases like ted kennedy who died over a year ago what does that make you rush you're worth four hundred million bucks and you're the most powerful voice of the republican party and you seem to have gotten away with quite a few things still sounds like. you're a ruling class kind of guy and under your own definition that's very fairly. after the break a florida jury found peace in the casey anthony not guilty of murder yesterday in my daily take i'll tell you who else needs to be facing a jury of their peers now this national distraction. drives the world the fear mongering used by politicians who makes decisions. who can you trust no one who is in view with the global machinery see where we had a state controlled capitalism it's called sessions when nobody dares to ask what we do our t. question morning. in our commercial air travel nightmare news last friday in miami woman was kicked off a u.s. airways flight in philadelphia right before it was about to take off why because she took a picture with her i phone. sandy do it noticed a u.s. airways employee being rude to

kennedy to primary and ted kennedy came out so you lose guy you know he's not strong enough and he's not progressive enough and try to push him to the left and try to make him stand up and and you know conventional wisdom is that when a president is primaried then they're going to lose because that weakens them but it could be the other way around we could be confusing cause with effect it could be that a president who's so weak that they get primaried is not going to win and therefore that creates a vacuum that people step into so anyhow it's unlikely that obama's going to face a primary challenge but he's got to realize that these republicans are playing war and he's playing neville chamberlain right now meanwhile we need to do some you know you and i we need to be joining movements movement politics is where this thing is going to come from rebuild the dream dot com for example the van jones as one great get over there get active and in our daily take i'll show you the speech that president obama should have given to. it's time for a deal is whole your chance to tell us what you t
