there is a lot of common questions that are typically asked about the book but i want to break from the norm to give anybody who has a question the opportunity to ask just to see if i could field in the answers anybody may have. >> what did you have to go through to get the book released? >> considering a was the first operations officer ever authorized to write a book while on active duty, we were bedded from public affairs from all safety offices with the special forces group. so we have approval release from the unit to all the way up to the top. it is neat that i just returned one month ago from my fifth appointment to afghanistan. to come home to have a book coming out is very special. >> the process of the book? >> your review? >> the review relieve took about a month and a half and went through it pretty thoroughly. but this is really starting to resonate that it is about victory. for what we could do on the ground i was just lucky enough to be a part of it. it was a small group of ordinary men who did something extraordinary. it is about the men who directly put themselves confronted

has his mind set on his beliefs which aren't really the norm of any known society that i know of. >> i remember joe sears very vividly. because so many of the correctional officers had dealt with him in the 20 years he had been locked up there. people kind of lowered their voices when they talked about joe sears. >> as a result of fights, intimidation and other rule violations, sears has spent most of the past 15 years in new mexico's highest security unit, level six. >> there have been times, yes, that i got into a fight over certain things, you know, whether it was, you know, a couple guys jumping on me because they didn't like what i said or who i was hanging out with or where i was working or maybe they wanted the job position or something. who knows, you know? maybe they just disliked me for the color of my skin or my attitude or, i don't know, you know. >> sears was convicted on several charges including robbery, kidnapping and rape. he first entered the penitentiary in 1983 on a 36-year sentence. >> i remember him working out in f-2, our recreation area, lifting hundred-pou

you know the norm. in the you. to. me i think gave me john just a number of the josh was doing with the case and i contacted him but it was already late so i called him the following morning we arranged to meet the next day in the human rights office she was going to meet the representative and invited me to the meeting i said all right i went to i gave my evidence and asked to see the photos she asked me why i wanted to see them i said i needed to be sure it was really him so he showed me them. i have to stick to my hand the letters c.n.n. which stand for can stands in the way or he has the same to to hear. alexander was a year older than me when he died he was thirty one. he suffered from a mental disease called bipolar affective disorder he had a son a young boy of my mil's the boys he showed me this tattoo. and i just found out that i wanted the ground to open up a loon swallow me out. it was so tough. i just put my hands over my mouth and couldn't say anything. she came up to me to take back the photo book. intere

teachers to help insure that our youth don't grow up in a world where that type of behavior becomes the norm. we have an incredible, incredible array of speakers here today. by speakers, i mean individuals who have come here to share their experiences. i want to emphasize this is about community participation. what that means, community participation, all of you as exerts in what you do in your work working with our young people need to have a voice. so we will have questions, but more importantly solutions is what we're asking for. not speaking but solutions. we're also broadcasting this about 12 times over the next 6 months. so those of you in our viewing audience who would like to participate in the action plan, it simply send an email to us. go to www.dot sfdefender.org. it's also available online. you can submit your action ideas. i promise you, we will look at every action item. we will not be able to cover everyone's ideas today and incorporate these. again it's www.dot sfpublic defender.org. i also want to emphasize. we have learned it's important and critical to hear from our youth.

tavis: >beyond the norm was a long speech. when he finished, the crowd erupts in sustained applause. -- beyond vietnam was a long speech. that support was short-lived. the political fallout was intense and far reaching. the already strained relationship between president johnson and dr. king became fractured beyond repair. donations to king's organization began to dry up and the mainstream press denounced him in no uncertain terms charging that he was not qualified to evaluate u.s. foreign-policy. >is anything that his handlers or organizers could have done differently beyond the words that he uttered that might change the way he was treated? was this place are relevant and it just rested on his words. >> i think he would have caught the same firestorm. what they said is that we don't like your message. we are in the middle of a war and we don't want to hear someone say that we are pilot. you are a civil rights leader, stick the war to what -- you are a civil rights leader, stick to what you know. they said he would never be re

bashar has violated the norms of his world. you kill people who are coming out of prayer, when you ban people from prayer, when you attack mosques. they're already now beginning among many, many religious juryists in the region talk about the ill religious nature of bashar assad. he is a hair tick to many of them because of the contempt he's shown for all the norms of his country. >> often the mosque is the only time people are allowed to gather in groups. and it's after the mosques that often demonstrations break out. but we're seeing people being killed inside the mosques as soon as they come outside. >> right. and i think now there is another question which has offered itself. should the syrian opposition, should the syrian opposition invite foreign intervention? it's not they could dial a number and people would come. it sounds like nato is ready for another engagement. but the success of the libyan opposition now has raised the question for the syrians. why not enlist foreign intervention? thus far they've been too proud.

i think once that starts to happen, we may get a better idea of what the new norm will be, what the new labor force participation rate is going to be like. >> looks like it may take a while, because the decline is twice that of any previous recession. any idea what the factors are for that lower participation rate? >> it's not obviously that this has been a long recession, and we've had a large number of unemployed. although they've stayed in the labor market a bit longer than they have in the past, we still had quite a few people exit the labor force. so i just think it's ther is invitity and length of the recession. >> at the current rate this month, for example, the 117,000 met jobs, just for the average person back home wondering how long we're going to be stuck in a tough economic time, at the current rate, 117,000 per month, how long would it take to regain the payroll jobs total we had prior to the recession? i understand it will be years. >> i don't want to be flip, but 117,000 we would never regain. you need 100,000 just to absorb the population growth so. really, if you're loo

the leader of this authority is appointed for nine years which is the norm it's in the public office that's a long long time you know i mean during nine years more than two elections go past you know and i think it's it's very unfortunate some people are kind of. stuck to their position you know for nine years but delegates are appointed by the prime minister which is very unusual. the minimum would be that the parliament appoints them and there is some kind of proportionality within this authority and some delegates. of the opposition can also be there because we think that is that would bring. the kind of balanced or for a few war supervision of this authority how much of a threat i'll be in those i think that's great and i don't think it is going to impact that much on press freedom press freedom in this country has been it has a long history to say the least in this country we used to have for fifty years. media that was completely centralized and run by the party the communist party of hungary following this we had a very very liberal media law the previous the pretty censor of

the first day when it they were still the norm that was the moment for the u.s. to quote intervene by saying you know what the for no gadhafi we have allowed you since two thousand and two to be on our good side no more no more arms no more contracts no more military support you're going to back out of this terrorism since i was on the hearing this will stop exactly as they should have in the others what does it easily that's what i think point would be if we're looking however long maybe it's from germany just being in the conflict it looks in the conflict i mean what we're saying is sort of yourselves you know your own your own problems and we know that one soul is on the other side is not on i mean i personally don't want any arms and to be on the asking for in a situation where no one is on a person even though we've made a massive massive i understand them yourselves not interrupt them that they're looking at also to pull him out of the cold in two thousand and three or two thousand and two if you want to call it but i personally think that huge media want t

there is a shortage of food and drinking water here power cuts have become the norm. banks have reopened and increasing numbers of police officers are back on the beach. many of the young rebel fighters are considering returning to normal life. >> we will hand over our weapons and go back to work. the best part is that we have achieved something and that we will have a new life after our victory. >> so although the practicality of everyday life is tough for many here, they still favor the ousting of gaddafi. >> we will have more of the fighting in libya later in the show, and we will also take a look at the people leading the struggle for change. the success of the rebels in libya is revealing one of the biggest foreign policy disasters in german history. that is what more and more politicians are saying right here in berlin. most point the finger at the german foreign minister. he shocked the west in march when he led germany to abstain from the un vote on military intervention. he said at the time it would be sanctions, not bombs, that would bring muammar gaddafi dow

had a new chief who is doing a great job here yet at the same point in time, i want to ask what is the norm? that strikes me to be a year of non responsiveness. that strikes me to be unacceptable, but what is your experience with other departments? there is a lot of records, but how do you typically handle that? i want to understand whether this is something to be really flag or something that in your estimation is not malicious /understandable. >> as it relates to the transition in the police department, i think it is reasonable and not malicious. we have had quite a bit of dialogue in the past week or so. even when i send out a communication regarding our meeting for today to the chief, he was very responsive and very clear about what should occur within the organization. i believe that none of it was malicious, and due to the change there was a slippage. if i find i am not getting a response and send out a couple of responses, i will contact the department head and say we sent a response, maybe forward it to the appropriate person or not. we do take a follow-up very seriously. supervisor

i believe they think this is a return to what is the norm for them. ere was a time when there were relatively weak compared to the west. that was an abnormal time. i feel that the people are coming in general, even the ones who are less wealthy, are proud of the country and they are willing to go along with the program that the government has basically led them along. i see an amazing peaceful coexistence. i have been living in china for the last couple of months. you walk down the street and people's lives have not changed for a hundred years. they cook outside and live in an apartment. yes, there is a restlessness, but i think they feel that the country is on a basic course to help lift up the people, that the level party has been raised quite a bit. the level of education has been raised quite a bit. a think they will go along in their lifetime. tavis: i will come back to dominate any moment. earlier this week, we spoke with a person regarded as they former host in china. you could not ask these kinds of questions in china before. you still cannot a

is expressing one of the sad symptoms of being battered is that you become the norm and you really have a sense of hopelessness except to try to knock. trigger their rage at the batter. who has often out of his own security made real threats that are quite believable. batterers tend to minimize things they tend to think well it was a one time thing or she made me angry i didn't hit her that hard i you know i didn't mean to do that i also provide counseling to the women i've heard on several occasions when i hear that door closed i shiver and that's sad so imagine in your own home being scared by hearing the door close and it's not a stranger coming in the door it's their partners or spells. my name is richard i'm thirty five i've been married for almost three years now. and we have three children together and else i have two stepchildren so it's all a five we look pretty similar you know not a lot of fighting a lot of drugs or alcohol so we definitely shirk common bond that we kind of help each other see what avenues we don't need to go to i have tried to avoid the conflict saying oh it

in a continent where long-running dictatorships are the norm, ghana has enjoyed two decades of thrivingdemocracy. two incumbent leaders have lost in general elections. in 2008, the margin was less than 1%. yet on both occasions the sitting president stepped aside and power was transferred peacefully. >> it is the first time that we have had both economic growth and political stability and freedom. >> reporter: ghana was the first african colony to gain independence back in 1957 from britain. it had its share of autocrats and military coups until the early '90s, when long-ruling military strongman jerry rawlins stepped aside and allowed democratic elections. ghana has seen steady economic growth ever since. it exports gold, diamonds and cocoa beans, and now new wealth awaits. >> in june 2007, cosmos struck gold. >> major offshore oil reserves have been found here and the first oil revenues began to flow last december. across africa the discovery of such riches, especially oil, has become known as the "resource curse." >> instead of having oil be a source of prosperity and ogress for this

the same dish and that is what explains very often the success of films which is largely out of the norm i'm talking a lot about american films well some say that tell you in russian cinema or are facing similar problems in trying to resist this hollywood expansion they explain the problems with the russian cinema they say it's a lack of money lack of financing problems with the with the economics of film making in italy is of the same or is it something different well you know i mean it italy they the producers and specially the big production groups they have devised a system to counter. the d m. you can attack and that is. a very somehow very schematic very simple comedy studio audience and that's how we finally rivers the situation i mean. we had one comedy. the new comedy by a very well known television stand in comedian kick up the lonely who finally broke five million people. to the movie theaters and with you know video piracy. and all the other phenomena that are reducing you know the coin men's with real films on the big screen that's something but you know that that was always

would say you need to look at it from a political perspective perspective of values let's say and the norms carried by democracy and the perspective of all let's say material interests or security interests or economic interests and what i'm trying to say here is that. during the cold war and even after that it's there is still seems to be there seems to be a paradox in supporting or let's say be friendly to non-democracy regimes while at the same time promoting democracy in these these same very countries. through various programs of democracy assistance usually implemented by american soul and non-governmental organizations i think that if you look at this from and you take into consideration that you deal with two different time scales one is still kind of me and the security where you need to address very immediate concerns or issues if you want to when the only one is more in the longer run where you tend to do what you want to do is to try to cede values and norms. values and norms in this case and you hope that these will be shared by a series of sites eventually the political societ
