during the bombing he noticed suspicious explosions. just to the just after the bombing began the landscape changed with even the appearance of the sky chips the sky became kind of yellow it lasted for several days even the explosions red note. now i'm a fighter i was an officer in the iraqi army under the old regime i thought for seven years in the war against iraq some parts of missiles i've seen a lot of them i know what i'm talking about. with these american bombs it was different so they exploded and they produced something abnormal something that i don't think i've ever seen before. the strange bomb that this resident refers to contain white phosphorus. a chemical incendiary weapon often compared to the napalm used in vietnam. according to the geneva convention. civilians and civilian objects may not be attacked in any circumstances by incendiary bombs. basically the use of white phosphorus is banned and he populated zones the american army claims to have used only to illuminate combat zones. yet in flu shots thousands of inhabitan

after the bomb is dropped, the story of the bomb, building the bomb comes out. next slide, please. oppenheimer is known as the father of the atomic bomb. this is the cover of the issue of psychics today. the issue is dedicated to trends in american science. all the magazine had to do to convey what the trends were is put it on a piece of scientific equipment and convey the message that oppenheimer was preeminent in american science and that american science was itself preeminent in the world. edgar hoover is obsessing with who are the three that didn't come forward and who is the unnamed interimmediate airy? hoover found out in the meantime that unnamed interimmediate airy is -- he wants to know who the other three are. so he has the fbi agents interview oppenheimer. first they interview the frenchman. he tells a different storey. he says well he doesn't know about three. there is only one person he missed. there is only one person approached and that is robert oppenheimer. they interview oppenheimer and he now says well, yes, the story i gave back in august of 1943 to pash and was

yet in fallujah thousands of inhabitants were still in the city during the bombing . abu yunus arranges to meet me at the martyrs cemetery a former football stadium three thousand five hundred bodies are buried here resistance fighters and civilians alike. this is where all the units played football today comes to meditate the graves of former teammates now become martyrs. that are not be what they live on some of the footballers who are used to playing in the stadium very clear that even the coach we called in a collie all cowboy even he was killed by the americans and no i think thirteen players from the fallujah team are buried in their own football ground. this man is the caretaker of the cemetery one day in november two thousand and four while bearing the victims of the fighting he made a strange discovery. not that the americans brought the sadness at first i thought it was humanitarian aid. but when i opened them just like i found. again it could have but suppose they close intact their translator told me these corpses were americans. well that's why they've giv

he says the bomb tonight and the american air force bombs in the daylight, but the germans are subjected to bombing around the clock. he said well, that's great. he was delighted thinking about that. after the mission was over, we would return to home base and go in for a de-briefing and what not. one of the nice figures was you not only got a cup of coffee, but if you wanted a shot of whiskey, you could get that, as well. so we had a chance to enjoy that sort of thing. we, of course were very delighted with the world war ii ended so that we could all pack up and go back home, which i was able to do in june of 1945. >> thank you, sir. >> thank you for the opportunity to tell you about my background. >> there'll be more. mr. woods, question for you. 67 years ago today. >> yeah. >> you went ashore on iwo jima. you were there for another seven days, correct? 11 days, excuse me. over the course of those 11 days, what was the greatest challenge you face? you went ashore as a private first class. tell us what happened over the course of the next few days. >> well, i guess first thing i can say

and i saw the reasons for the bomb being dropped. but it's just war is war and they were the enemy. >> sir? >> as members of the greatest generation, what lessons regarding ethical leadership do you feel are lost on today's society? >> as a member of the greatest generation, what lessons regarding ethical leadership are lost on today's society? >> i hadn't really thought about that too much. but thinking about now i think that -- leadership is something that -- is something you have the capability to lead or you don't. some people it's born in others and it has to be developed over time. and it takes courage to recognize as you're in a position of command or supervision for leadership is required and then recognize you have the possibility of doing what you can to meet what's required of you in that role. you don't necessarily have their visibility or complete understanding. it has to kind of grow with you over time as you meet various challenges on a day-by-day basis. and i'm very, very conscious of the fact that my ability to lead i

we were of the atom bomb generation. play football cattle you're both stance on have a good time don't worry about anything else will look after your country. france is keeping its nuclear arsenal because it needs the nuclear deterrent to discourage various threats to its vital interests. that is the doctrine that was established in the sixty's and it is still valid today. that the leaders of the church and i've been one since one thousand nine hundred sixty three we have never agreed with nuclear testing. but we cannot agree to weapons of mass destruction this and so must it's not possible they are fine it's not just since the french tests we were against the american nuclear tests in the marshall islands a washout. long before france in one nine hundred forty six the united states and then great britain chose the pacific to conduct their testing but their comic mushroom clouds were poisonous radioactive debris fell on to the surface of the earth and threaten the health of people all over the planet in one thousand nine

groves realized that the soviet was try to get the super to the bomb. he was very intent upon foilg that and developing a counter intelligence agency and effort as part of the manhattan project. he had heads of counter intelligence on the west coast and east coast on the middle. boris pash was the ranking expert at the fourth army. he has his own interesting personal history that i won't get into in detail. but he was born in san francisco. he actually went to russia and fought in the white armies in the russian civil war. when the white armies were defeated, he came back to california. his father was the senior bishop of the russian orthodox church. he had no practical experience except that he organized a volleyball camp when he was in russia. so he became the head coach of hollywood high school. but he was also in the army reserve. and after pearl harbor, he is chosen to go to the master counter spy, the spy catcher. and that was, in fact, his true calling. pash believed that oppenheimer was a soeflt agent and he operated on that assumption throughout

this is the bomb bay. 488,000 pound gross weight. as we add weapons, it reduces the amount of fuel we can carry. we can carry up to approximately 50,000 pounds of weapons inside the bomb bay here. these are the bomb racks. this is where the weapons actually attach. typically in this configuration, we're carrying gravity weapons. but we can carry, depending on the weapon, 27 inpersonal gravity weapons, and if the nuclear mission is required or, you know, conventional mission, we have the conventional air launch cruise missiles or the nuclear cruise missiles that will take these cluster racks out. and we'll put in what's called a csrl, a rotary launcher, and it attaches to the missiles them seems, kind of like a six shooter, rotate, drop one out and missile away. the fuel is loaded pretty much everywhere you don't see a bomb bay. this jet is designed for heavy metal, weapons, fuel. that's all there is to it. so this is the bomb bay. you'll see above you labeled fuel tanks. so pretty much everywhere. the fuel tanks are part of the struct

what was the bomb in your car? the fbi held a bomb school just 30 days before we were bombed. there were blowing up cars in eureka, california near where i live. they're doing it on louisiana clear-cut. a bomb went off at a louisiana sawmill two weeks later. they tried to blame that on us, too. two weeks later, judi bari's car was blown up read a letter was sent to the newspapers taking credit. it was the same person. there seem to be a link between the lumber companies, the fbi, all the way to the bond car. we are in court to try to get the first on the did not go off well -- not the one in judi bari's park -- there is dna. we think there could be fingerprints, hair samples on the duct tape read it as far as our money, which took less money but demanded the evidence return to as an exchange. the fbi is recalling that some may do now to turn over it to an independent forensics laboratory. we're trying to get a dna sample to see if we can identify who the bomber is. >> the letter was from the lord's avenger and the

police brought out the bomb squad. now nare in the process of looking at the box and what's inside it. meanwhile, residents are concerned that the bomb squad is out here. >> that's kind of freaking me out. that really is. you don't really expect to see something like that in a small town. >> reporter: you're not surprise that police found a suspicious package in this townhouse? >> not at all. >> reporter: why not? >> the guy was very, very strange. he used on to stand out in the parking lot and kind of yell things, and he was a little interesting. >> reporter: that's right. other residents said the man would put skeletons on his lawn. they thought it was part of halloween. halloween ended and they were still up. many said this guy is a little weird. he's now in afghanistan. police plan on contacting him. meanwhile, they're investigating to see what exactly the suspicious box contains, if anything whatsoever. live here, news 4. >>> turning to politics, just hours away from super tuesday. the gop candidates now how import

the first of those bombs killed 75,000 people instantly. one at nagasaki killed 40,000 more people instantly. within a couple months, 150,000, possibly 250,000 people were del dead. killed by just those two bombs. the nuclear bombs we've got today are roughly ten times the yield of what we dropped on hiroshima. the hiroshima bomb stantly killed 75,000 people. imagine a bomb blast ten times that size. can you imagine us using a bomb like that now? a bomb that size. we have 1800 bombs that size deployed right now. 1800 nuclear bombs, each ten times the size of the hiroshima bomb, all deployed and ready to be fired and we have thousands more in our stockpile. if you can imagine us dropping another nuclear bomb, like we did on hiroshima and nagasaki, how many can you imagine us drop something how many more nuclear bombs do you think america could ever conceivably launch in our future as a nation? could we launch two more? ten more? could we launch 100 more? a 1,000, more than 5,000 bombs each time the size of hiroshima? what would be left. prth

in 2009 and the attempted bombing of u.s.-bound cargo planes in october 2010. most recently, we have a growing concern about the threat from homegrown violent extremists. these individuals have no typical profile. their experiences and motives are often distinct, but they are increasingly savvy and willing to act alone, which makes them difficult to find and stop. in 2009, smadi was a 19-year-old jordanian citizen living in texas, and although he espoused loyal to -- loyalty to al qaeda and some of the modern, he was not affiliated with any groups that would become terrorists. he had become radicalized on his own on the internet. when he expressed clear interest in attacking a dallas skyscraper, the fbi used undercover agents to set up a sting, and three agents who spoke arabic began talking with him, first online and later in prison. he believed he had found an al qaeda sleeper sell to assist him. after months of planning, he parked what he believed was a truck bomb underneath a skyscraper and dialed a cell phone number he s

they say they're investigating whether the bombing was connected to a ss of explosions in bangkok last month. officials at the indian foreign ministry asked the iranian authorities to help them capture the bombers. >>> east timor will have an election. 11 candidates are running against the president running a second term. we are following the campaign in a country that's trying to become economically independent. >> reporter: heated campaigning began on february 29th for the second presidential election. the incumbent president is seeking a second term. he was elected east timor's second president five years ago, taking advantage of his recognition as a nobel laureate. his pledge for the campaign was maintaining peace. his new slogan is fighting poverty. >> translator: our country has serious problems of malnutrition and a lack of education, and these are becoming more serious. >> reporter: east timor became independence from indonesia ten years ago. the current administration has focused on public projects using the profits from the country's abundant oil fields. this is helping east

a number of -- more than 100 americans are killed and the bombs fall short. but right after it, bradley and patton go airborne to go check out the effects. and so patton is taking a photograph of bradley from his plane. at one time patton did go airborne and crossed over onto german lines and he freaked out to the pilot, he said, we can never do that. eisenhower will relieve me immediately. but patton was a licensed pilot. in fact, when third army was training in england, he would fly a fighter plane above the troops so they would be able to look up and identify, that is an american airplane and we don't fire on that one. and he takes photographs of the troops down below. basically they're going to sweep across the southern part of northern france. barreling through a lot of nonresistance. it's going to end up making a bag of germans called a fillet pocket. here is patton, eisenhower, bradley and courtney hodges. when the invasion of normandy begins, omar bradley is commander of what's called first army. the plan is once there are enough troops in normandy, th

there is a photo of the bomb that blast. asaki a couple of days later. it was called boxcar. this is the photograph. of the nuclear bomb blast on nagasaki. you can see the mushroom cloud over nagasaki there. the reason we have these photos of these nuclear bombs going off in these two cities in japan is because along with boxcar and the enola gay, we flew planes with them that took pictures of the explosions. the plane that photographed the nagasaki explosion was cald big stink and the plane that flew the hiroshima bomb was necessary evil. because his i have written by deeply cynical poets. the first of those bombs killed 75,000 people instantly. the second one at nagasaki killed 40,000 more people instantly. within a couple months, 150,000, possibly 250,000 people were del dead. killed by just those two bombs. the nuclear bombs we've got today are roughly ten times the yield of what we dropped on hiroshima. the hiroshima bomb instantly killed 75,000 people. imagine a bomb blast ten times that size. can you imagine us using a

this is the bomb bay. it reduces the amount of fuel we can ware. we can carry up to 55,000 pounds of weapons. this is the bomb rack. this is where the weapons actually attack. typically in this configuration we're carrying gravity weapons but depending on the weapon we can carry 27 internal gravity weapons. and if nuclear mission is required or conventional, we have conventional air launch cruise missiles or nuclear cruise missiles. we take their cluster racks out and put in a csrl, and it rotates drops one out and missile away. the fuel's loaded any way you don't see a bomb bay. it's designed for weapons and fuel. that's all there is to it. this is the bomb bay. you see above you labeled fuel tanks. it's called an integral fuel system so the fuel is part of the wings itself. the wings are fully loaded with fuel. when the b-52 parked the wings are low because all the fuel is pulling it down. after landing the wings will be up in the air, almost six feet, because they don't have as much gas in the wings at that time. we can't go in the jet but two d

role in the bombings in two thousand and nine that actually ended up killing several civilians twenty something i think twenty one children the u.s. media coverage during that time was you know yemeni drones or yemeni attacks kill militants right so let's let's let's switch the conversation let's broaden it out and talk a little bit about our treatment in the press of the new covert drone warfare and how that me be having blowback if that's ok for the united states. well i think one thing that's really remarkable is that inside the united states if you look at this reporting of attacks the american media reports pretty much what the intelligence community wants them to report and that's have line may be we get a little bit from the scene coming a little bit later but the but that's not reported heavily so you know generally if we look at the grown more impacts them for instance there's been better more comprehensive and more timely reporting about what's happened there inside of pakistan than in the united states now what's the reason for this the reason is that. the administration be

what is the american national interest in the iranian bomb? all the arabs on our side are terrified and there will be hegemony over them. in the end, it would be a threat to the united states did not imminent, not the way it is too and israeli -- to an israeli. but they are lined with terrorists. we could lose a city, we could lose it in an hour, if iran decides to use it or do it in a way that could be untraceable. it would have us always on the damocles sword. that would change our relations with the world. these are people dedicated to the destruction not just of israel and moderate arabs but ultimately of the west. that is what we have to calculate. it does not mean they are going to attack tomorrow, but can we live with an iranian bomb? >> i have seen this movie before. we went through it when we went to war in 2001 on his promise that somehow there was going to be, as the secretary of state said, a mushroom cloud over the united states. it would be more effective argument if we had not heard in -- >> > do you doubt iran is working on a bo

so that's the scenario of how we have not just one nuclear bomb in the city, a terror bomb, but a nuclear war break out between two major countries of the world. and this is what i learned from listening to the pakistani foreign defense minister. his fear that they were heading for that nuclear war. that got my attention very seriously. >> let's spend a few minutes talking about the threat of nuclear 9/11. quite a few of the questions from the audience deal with the question of nuclear terrorism. and to frame that discussion, i want to read an except from a letter that albert einstein wrote to franklin roosevelt in 1939. it was this letter that led to the establishment of the manhattan project and the development of the first nuclear weapons by the united states. einstein wrote this letter when he became aware that nuclear physics reached a point where a weapon could be created of almost incomprehensible power. he wrote a letter to fdr. what is so striking to me about it is the threat that he describes in the letter is exactly one of the threats that the united states faces today in terms

but how the hydrogen bomb would work infinitely more powerful. thousands of times more powerful. and when president harry truman found that out, in 1950, he authorized the united states to build the hydrogen bomb and we were off to the nuclear race. >> put it in context. we went through the mccarthy period. >> that we did. >> where he was trying to you know out the communists in the government. and everybody on the left reacted, some of them do to this day, but in reading your book you say a lot of that stuff was true back then. >> mccarthy overreached very, very badly. he was not a stable person. he was a drunk. the truth was not in him. but occasionally, he hit the mark. he hit the bull's eye. and every time he hit a bull's eye, in his allegations of communism, it was because hoover steered his hand. and steadied his aim. with files. with facts. and it is a fact that communist spies penetrated in the period of the 1940's and up to 1950. penetrated the pentagon, the state department, the military, the c.i.a., and the f.b.i. and hoover had been ch
