he made certain statements. >> the judge said the aclu has no right to know what the drone program, ifxists, because the cia plays game with that, know right to know specifically what it does and what it doesn't do. >> with respect to its intelligence. it's a matter of national security. >> do you agree with that decision? >> absolutely. there are nine exemptions, and one is national security or foreign policy and this absolutely is. >> no doubt about it. do you want to speculate on any aclu motives since you are very close to those people? >> sometimes i agree with them, sometimes i doan. >> do you want to speculate on their motives to undermine the drone program. >> i think they wanted to get exactly an admission? why, wiel? why? >> don't interrupt. >> they want to make us look bad, we being the united states, look bad. >> the aclu so according to lis wiel, the aclu wants to make their country look bad. that's what you believe. do you believe that. >> yes. >> so you both believe the american civil liberties union is solely doing this to make the united states look bad in the eyes of

we should take the bureau order that the chief put together with some input from the aclu and put that in the form of a dgo. where does the board of supervisors come into play? to the half commission authorities with reference to policy procedure for the police department? we have been told, we will go to the board of supervisors with this and that is something that needs to be worked out. that is our responsibility. i think that we probably should and move toward as you suggested, putting that bulletin and the bureau order into a dgo. that would give people more. comfort level. -- more of a comfort level. the next chief may do something different. that is what we need to do is codify that so the commission feels more comfortable and so does the community. commissioner chan: many to make sure that -- we need to make sure we issued the policy for the department. the prior chief issue bureau orders in other matters. it was a helpful policy that we need to review those policies and codify it. that is our responsibility even if we do not what we're supposed be doing, i can see why other bo

and it was two years ago when through a settlement the aclu required the district to have a curriculum. >> these videos that were coming in were from ground spark. very well done. our community was saying that's not our kids. those aren't our issues. >> reporter: they are not students from another state. they are real students telling real stories. and by showing parents not just students the video. it opens the door to solutions at home and at school. >> they are pushing for the bullying to stop. and that's my main concern is keeping the kids safe. >> reporter: she stands behind every one of them. ktvu channel 2 news. >> calling on community members to join them as they take the school board to task accusing them of failing african american and other students of color. >> historically, our students have been overlooked for a number of reasons. we are tired of looking at the statistics and seeing the numbers drop from one year to the next. >> went before the school board to talk about the deparity of education. just last week they released a list of 12 schools that could be closed next

. >> our goal is to out the aclu. >> the sheriff says he takes a hard line stance against any deputy and he will not resign over these allegation. >>> time now 4:43 the suspect in that deadly shooting in arizona will have to stand trial. yesterday a judge said there is measurable progress in jared loughner's progress and he will be deemed mentally fit to stand trial. jared loughner who suffers from schizophrenia is charged in the tucson shooting in january. >>> just a few blocks from the court where jared loughner's hearing was held, tucson police were worried because the truck was parked in a same spot for a long time. they found no explosives, police questioned the driver but he has not been charged. >>> a warning about a scam in santa clara. somebody has been calling people and claims he needs payments for a certain court case and asks people for their personal information. court officials say they never ask for personal information and anybody who receives one of these calls should ask for the caller's name and case number they are referring to. >>> they now know who shot and kil

we partner with the habeas project, the aclu, the partnership to end domestic violence, the vietnamese youth center and others. we help them with fund-raisers and just to have a public venue for their issues. we feel what we do creates an opportunity for gathering for the diverts local community of the mission. thank you very much for your time. >> i was the old executive director of the roxy theater and i transitioned it into a non- profit and wanted to add -- i'm not going to undo anything he said. when i was transitioning, one thing i heard from our patrons all the time to standing around was can you guys sell beer? as chris said, we have a very art-ford, very respectful and averse crowd of people who want to come to our theaters. let's face it, it's getting increasingly difficult to get people out of their homes. people want to see a film, but they also want to make a night of it. they want an experience so that we can complete -- we can compete with netflix and video on demand. we have vouchers and we have put on events like this in the past. we have never had a problem or complai

the aclu had repeatedly asked for this information and now....the department of justice has releaseddocument outlines the data retention policiessof the five major cell phone providers... and according to the document, verizon.... keeps a list of everyone you text....for a year..... sprint keeps the same type of call log for 18 months. t-mobile,,,saves it for five years.... a-t-t....for seven. the information is helpful to law enforcement agencies which have lobbied providers to save the information. but many cellphone users have a lot of concerns. 3 (22:09:10) "we've got a lot of things going on but holding onto my data thats absurd!" (22:08:48) "its their business to do we're using their product they can do with it what they want." (22:11:03) "basically if you use your phone to test message or email. you're saying itdirectly to the ears of the government." 3 experts say the only way to maximize your privacy....is to use a pre-paid cellphone...where the users identity is far more difficult to track. jeff abell, fox 45, news at 5:30. 3 3 the ravens take on the jets sunday...and we as

of unprovoked assaults and beatings, specifically on the 3,000 floor of the jail you heard about, the aclu of southern california is asking the attorney general of the united states and the federal justice department to get involved here. they're asking the fbi -- excuse me, they're asking the justice department to bring a criminal investigation into how the largest jail in the country is being run. theye sign. his name is lee baca. whether or not sheriff baca does resign, whether or not the justice department does turn this into a criminal investigation, if past is any prologue, no one else other than the sheriff is likely to win or lose an election because of this issue. this is politics but it is politics of a different kind. this is values politics. about who we are as a country. it is a specific kind of political work to fix problems like this. to get attention to problems with the way we are doing the death penalty these days, for example. and sometimes to get attention to the death penalty as a problem, itself. it is political work to raise enough of a ruckus to convince the catholi

he's on the side of the aclu. d i do think that there must be some concern as you suggested earlier. it's just kind of a little icky, this guy was killing americans, encouraging the killing of americans. and yet db. >> you heard 2 at the white house today, in the briefing, there was a lot of skepticism, a lot of demand for justification for killing this individual, when four years ago we won the have heard that. >> the bottom line is, if you watch the republican debates right now, they are the only debates happening. how much does foreign policy occupy, not at all. it's just not where the american people's minds are. >> panetta did come out and say, totally justified, not even a problem. >> you remember that debate a couple debates ago, when rick perry was asked the question -- ron paul's not going to pick up a lot of votes for his position. >> they try, but, you know. >> but a plus for consistency. michael, julie, jessica stay with us. >>> are you happy with your current economic situation? our bet is you're not.

. >> i am from the aclu. i am here to correct some incorrect information that the police commission was given last week regarding the participation in the joerg terrorism commission task force. we wanted to make sure that if san francisco is going to continue to participate with the fbi is under san francisco's rules and our civilian oversight system. we have been pushing it a long time for the portland rev up -- portland resolution. the fbi is continuing to say that they will block full enforcement. we were surprised last week to learn that during the update of your various priorities that there was some discussion of this topic. we appreciate the dedication to these issues. we have provided them with answers. we have had our conversation and kept them updated. we were stunned to see last week, i am going to quote the chief, there is no portland resolution. i am not sure the source of his information. that has the mayor of's signature on it if you need it. the attorney that signed off on it is not allowed to

. >> you are the policy director on the death penalty for the aclu in northern california. can you share with us how the efforts are happening in the united states and whether there is a healthy effort in the state of california? >> this is a great time to work on the issue of the death penalty. every day we get closer and closer to ending the death penalty in california and across the country and indeed, across the world. several states have into the death penalty in the last four years. most recently, the state of illinois into the death penalty in march of this year. [applause] we are now at the time when 16 states, puerto rico and the district of columbia do not have the death penalty. many more states are addressing this issue, connecticut and montana, colorado, kansas, these are all states that have had bills in their legislature to into the death penalty that have moved through least one house in some cases, both houses. connecticut passed a bill a couple of years ago to end the death penalty that was vetoed by the then republican governor who is no longer in office.

she tells the san francisco chronicle that her assistant has started contacts the aclu and any other groups that may have grievances. there have been protests over the fatal bart police shooting of a homeless man armed with knives and the cutting of underground cell phone service to stop a protest. demonstrations are expected to continue every monday. >>> lawsuits could delay or kill plans for a high speed rail in california. cities and nonprofit organizations are suing over issues with the route and environmental studies. a coalition of cities and groups on the peninsula had has gone to court twice over environmental studies of the route linking the bay area to the central valley. after the first lawsuit, the rail authority did a new study but a new lawsuit is now challenging that revised study. >>> a new report shows the san francisco bay is much cleaner than in the past. according to the mercury news, scientists say the bay is far less pollute nowed than in the 1950s and 60s. the report comes out before a state estuary conference in oakland tomorrow. researchers credit the 1972 cle

. >> let's talk about an issue that was raised in some quarters today in particular by the aclu and that's the issue of due process. this was, after all, an american citizen targeted for killing specifically by the u.s. government. how does the administration justify this on legal grounds? >> well, first of all, it's obviously an important question. targeting american citizens anywhere is a very serious issue. ultimately an individual regardless of whether they are an american citizen or not takes up arms and is plotting terrorist attacks against the west it becomes an issue of self-defense. due process is very different because anwar al-awlaki was plotting in yemen against the united states. >> was this something the united states looked at before they put him on the target list? >> the administration debated quite deeply everyone who was going to be targeted for a strike. a u.s. citizen got even greater levels of review, but ultimately this was about self-defense. >> all right michael leiter, it's good to have your perspective. thank you. >>> there are new tensions in the already straine

these were heroes of my time because they were founders of the aclu. and many others. one is lincoln steffens and it he read the book carefully, you will find that jack is really influenced in part by lincoln steffen's wonderful autobiography. so i came away today because this is not only bastille day. this is also the day that sacco and vanzetti were executed, so my what if it is, what would have happened if darrow had been their lawyer and had not been rejected by the sacco and vanzetti defense team which thought he was too much of a chicago midwesterner for this new england elite crowd. is the result might have been different, but at any rate let us welcome jack farrell. [applause] >> it is really nice to be introduced by david, who actually gave me great insight for the tip o'neill book. he was a wonderful help. i came a little bit early tonight so i could meet -- and make sure the bookstore was passing into great hands and i was assured by meeting them and talking to them that it is. you really are a wonderful community of people and i think the great thing about p

that's to their satisfaction, that will close the book on -- close the loop on that for us absent the aclu being able to get some sort of resolution with the f.b.i. because they are the controller of the national m.o.u. >> i would say until that work is done, we leave it just on the third tier. president mazzucco: commission staffing, we try but -- >> in the process of trying very, very hard to get -- this is for a court clerk to help with our docket of disciplinary matters, to help us with managing that, we then reduced our docket so we could continue on searching for the court clerk but right now we don't have a strong need for it. president mazzucco: can stay because you're still looking? >> it can stay because we're still looking. that's fine. >> isn't there a need just in general for a clerk in the office to help out or no? lieutenant -- >> more help would be appreciated but -- talk to some of the people involved, they say court clerk first and if not, a separate clerk. >> given that need, we will keep it on there. president mazzucco: i think we've taken care of the next one, from a m

groups like the aclu are pointing out, here is an american president ordering the targeted killing of an american citizen without any due process. no evidence, no courts, and they they is a gross violation of both the u.s. constitution and international law. when you ask the white house, what's the legal basis for such an action, they basically said, it's a state secret and they will not get onto their justification. now, president obama was given the news of awlaki's death at roughly 3:45 this morning. this is a president who has increased the number of predator drones in afghanistan, pakistan, east africa and yemen. all told, the administration can point to more than 20 senior terrorist leaders that have been taken out during the obama administration, diane. >> that's quite a gallery there, jake. thanks. >>> and the president did say today that the white house is going to be watching, on alert, for any signs of a retaliation move. so, let's bring in our seen your justice correspondent pierre thomas on that. what are they seeing tonight, pierre? >> reporter: diane, abc news has learn

. >> reporter: the aclu agree. >> merely to say well, we have an interest in preventing theft isn't enough to throw out privacy rights. >> reporter: california law backs that up prohibiting observation in anyone in an area where they have a reasonable expectation of privacy lik a fitting room. macy's said it works hard to strike a balance between privacy and deterring theft but now tells consumerwatch, fitting rooms vary depending primarily on when each store was built. it is current little currently changing all the doors. >> i don't think i'll ever try on anything again honestly. >> reporter: ann taylor also says it will flip the doors in question and calls them a mistake. you can find their statement on our website, cbssf.com/consumerwatch. it's important to note we didn't find the flipped doors at all stores or in all departments. so you have the option of looking for another dressing room and then of course you can always hang those clothes on the back of your door, which obviously would provide a little more privacy. >> but it makes you scared to try anything on anymore. >> you have

instance is reported, is not actually what happened as we get the facts all fleshed out. >> reporter: the aclu'sil liberties, but then coming to our senses when the threat has passed. the danger, this time, is that we've defined a war against terrorism which literally takes place everywhere and may last forever. >> reporter: tsa management frequently points to several public opinion polls that indicate an overwhelming percentage of americans don't object to the scanners, although a fairly large percentage do object to the pat-downs. >> woodruff: and reports emerged this evening of a possible new threat tied to the 9/11 anniversary. the homeland security department said the information was specific and credible but unconfirmed.ç ews said it could involve three people and a car bomb plot aimed at washington, d.c., or new york city. white house officials said the president was briefed this morning and had ordered counter-terrorism efforts redoubled. tomorrow night our 9/11 series continues from cairo. margaret warner traces the egyptian roots of the radical islamic movement. >> brown: and finally
