we discussed the navy's growing use of technology and unmanned systems into the current and navy force structure on the information dominance side. he also addressed the major operational challenges and benefits from the new and rapidly evolving technologies and spoke to the doctrinal an ethical questions coming out of all of this. it was a very fascinating discussion, and what's interesting is that through the power of new technology, that discussion has, in a sense, become a living entity spreading both geographically, but also chronologically that is a year and a half later we continue to get questions and contacted from folks about that talk from everything from navy lieutenants on ships thousands of miles away to students at the navy war college to students here in dc, but one of the challenges of the technology, and i would argue the wider policy world today, is the incredibly fast pace of change, so for instance, if the short time since that discussion, we've seen technologies that western, for example, -- that were, for example, you can describe as the dream stage now start to

the navy is moving full speed ahead. i think i know where they stand and i won't try to play games i'm obviously against the repeal of a mask "don't ask, don't tell." this doesn't stop and ask "don't ask, don't tell" from being repealed. unfortunately in my opinion, but what it does to say the service chiefs are the ones responsible to sign off on some of the marine corps commandant believes it's going to put his men's lives in jeopardy he won't sign off on it and in that case the marines will have some more work to do before it can be implemented, but i want to make sure the war fighters have a say in this that the war fighters, the men who know their men and women best know what they are doing and who they are fighting, with their emotional state is that they have the opportunity to sign off on this and required by aas in congress by law due to this amendment to sign off on the repeal of the last "don't ask, don't tell" when and if they think it's appropriate for their service to repeal the mask "don't ask, don't tell"

as well as the navy agreement will transfer the land from the navy. we talked about such an agreement between other city agencies to review and accept infrastructure. it is a long-standing partnership that we have that started when the federal government announced that the base is going to be closed. the navy conveyens agreement is a long negotiated agreement we will pay the navy $55 million as a base payment and an additional $15 million depending on certain participation levels and again in the d.d.a. obligates the developer to make these payments. this will be before the budget committee next week. because treasure island is encumbered by the public trust because we want to build housing on treasure island, that is not an allowable use under the guidelines so we are doing swaps to transfer it to parks and open space. i will turn it over to josh to cover the planning code and zoning items. >> good afternoon supervisors. among the several items that have been forwarded to you, including in the general plan, i will touch on them briefly. the adoption o

the city will receive land from the navy in fairly large chunks. there will be an additional chunk that makes up half the island. we, in turn, passed that on to the developer in two block increment. they have given us plans that have been approved to say that they are building things that are consistent with approval. that is to say yes, the infrastructure they are proposing is consistent with our infrastructure program with financial guarantees that the developer will build up. dda also includes housing plans, infrastructure plans, and jobs programs that we talked about. the agreement is our agreement with the treasure island home was developed initiative. we have formulated this plan over the past decade and we owe them a lot of credit. lies with our 1996 agreement with them, the main components being that we provide them with subsidies to build units for new housing. we would also support them in their training efforts, including funding from the project. the navy agreement memorializes the purchase of treasure island made it over 10 years. we pa

bin laden's followers had vowed revenge as we know after he was taken out by the u.s. navy and today we had twin suicide bombings ripped through a military training camp. they were recruits in the northwestern part of the country and you can see the aftermath. 80 of them killed and recruits who had just finished their training. >> and hasn't the military actually launched strikes against the taliban in this area? >> yes. there are a lot of military attacks and air attacks for more than a year in that particular area. the pakistan taliban are not really the same as the afghan taliban. there are similarities and lot of support, but they do liaison, but there are different factions within the waziristan area, and the northwestern frontier and other tribal areas, but the main target is the pakistan government because of the alliance with the united states. >> so what are the pakistan taliban fighting for if it is different? >> well, the post 9/11 support for the pakistan government, they don't agree with that at all. they are angry about that, and they want revenge there, and t
