our sister broadcast, "60 minutes 2" which is no longer on the air when abu ghraib came to them, the pentagon lobbied very heavily against that story being broadcast and made it an argument that everyone in the news business and at cbs news and "60 minutes" cares about and that is that that piece would flame anti-american sentencements among the iraqis and al qaeda and iraq characters and that it could jeopardize soldiers and that was a very compelling concern. and i think, you know, the broadcast mulled it over for a couple of weeks and in the end you have to weigh it against another duty, which is, i mean, here "60 minutes 2" had documented evidence that some of our people were doing things that were so awful that even in times of war they are prohibited by the rules of war. and so what do you do? it is a very tough decision that you weigh and obviously in the end, for competitive reasons and for that reason, they went with the piece. i mean, there are instances where we have had really good stories that we haven't run because in the end, the government argument may out-- it may not be a ab

again, this is not depending on -- the pentagon papers or even a case like rich in taking on the white house, but i thought it was important, and our access to this whistleblower gave us access to these videotapes and shed some light on what was going on with the fbi at a critical moment. .. i've always said that for an investigative journalist, there's there is kind of like a bug, there's something there that this terminal is once to get to the truth in the root of the story no matter what and charge. and from a whistleblower perspective, that's who you want on your case. i think for any investigative journalist, that's the character trait that makes someone into a top-notch world-renowned successful investigative journalists. but from a whistleblower, that's what you need. john has done just outstanding stories, both in cases that we've worked with him on, but also just watching the stories he's done. it's an absolute honor to have him here. in his formal biography, he's the former executive editor of the "washington times" and a -- a former current special correspondent for the "was

but they spend a lot of time looking at foreign threats, and i think -- >> like the pentagon shooter was acting alone, and the man who flew the plane into the i.r.s. acting alone, not really connected to groups, right? >> this is what they learned about timothy mcveigh in new york city. you can be part of a group and the group doesn't take action, but there can be guys who say you aren't extreme enough for me and they take matters into their own hands. >> how good is the government at knowing who these people are, tracking them, understanding the differences? are we more sophisticated about this than we used to be? >> we seem to be, and this is an example where they were ahead of it and acted pre-ementtively. but you can't assume that it will always be that way. the f.b.i. learned through the events that culminated in the oklahoma city bombing, which killed 185 people, that you have to pay attention not only to groups, but to individuals, that you have to infiltrate early. they also have said in a bulletin as recently as six months ago that as good as they are at getting into these gr

greater costs are not something that the pentagon is prepared to absorb. as many of you are aware, the department's overall expenditures for health care are rising rapidly. secretary gates testified in the fall that the increased costs are, quote, beginning to eat us alive, end quote. so if there are direct or secondary effects of the president's health care program, the only way to cover the costs are to raise the premiums to beneficiaries, families and retirees or to eat further into d.o.d.'s ability to support the needs of our men and women in uniform. this is not what we want to do. this is why we must understand the impact of the president's new health care law on d.o.d. we know that the health care law includes new fees on manufacturers of brand name prescription drugs. we sell to the federal health care programs, including the department of defense. c.m.s. states in last thursday's report, quote, we anticipate these fees will generally be passed through to health care consumers in the form of higher drug prices. that means a pass-through to d.o.d. we

it is a bit analogous to the symbolic import of taking out the world trade center, the pentagon and the aspiration of the capital. how it is going to play out, it is hard to predict. on the domestic political front, over the past decade, there is no question that terrorist attacks have played to the favor of mr. putin and as a justification for further centralization of political power. we have seen in response to this attack a considerable difference between the russians. putin has resorted to his playbook of pull them all out of the sioux were -- sewer and that sort of tough talk. what we have seen from the prime minister is that this is a reminder that the core problem of the terrible social economic conditions in the north caucasus which is the driver for these groups to attack which is not something we hear from putin. >> how could the u.s. administration assist russia at all in the anti-terrorism fight? obama said we stand ready to help. how could he do that? would russia even be open to that? >> can i jump in? it is a very good question because the way i see the conflict in russi

and while i'm glad the pentagon undertook this assessment, i and most americans didn't need a report to confirm the iranian threat is real and credible. the regime poses a significant danger to the u.s. and our allies, particularly israel. also, because of our failure to implement tough sanctions against iran, many nations will feel the need to develop nukes while we are reducing our stockpile, and failing to modernize our nuclear inventory. in addition, we have halted the production of f-22's, allowed a window of vulnerability in missile defense and have delayed development of the next jen bomber. -- nextgen bomber. i hope the president will not shortchange the d.o.d. this year in ballistic defense, the nextgen bomber and other vital initiatives to protect our homeland and our allies well into the future. thank you and i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman's time has expired. for what purpose does the gentleman from illinois rise? >> to address the house for one minute. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. mr. quigley: mr. speaker, renee fought for equality in t

one of the grape came to them, the pentagon lobbied heavily against that story. an argument that everyone in the news business cares about is that that story would inflame anti-american sentiment among the al qaeda. it could jeopardize soldiers. that was a very compelling concern. i think the broadcast molded over for a couple of wheat -- molded over for a couple of weeks. -- mulled it over. we have documented evidence that some of our people were doing things that were so awful, that even in times of war, they are prohibited by the rules of war. what do you do? it is a very tough decision. obviously, in the end, for competitive reasons and for that reason, they went with the peace. -- piece. there instances where we have had really good stories that we have not run because in the end, the government's argument may -- running into a compromise something that the story is not worth doing. that has happened to me. we will not run with it. in any event, those are the crux of the issues that whistle- blowers and reporters alike have to grapple with. finally, i would s

it is a more immediate want to cite, compared to the pentagon papers. the government ended up dropping the case of the spending years in developing it. this is lobbyists that got accused of violating espionage act by receiving classified information and giving it to both a news organization and an official at the israeli embassy. what the defense lawyers cleverly did was subpoena all the government officials with whom they dealt, including the then secretary of state rice, richard armitage, and a bunch of others from whom they had received classified information intentionally for the purpose of getting it out, the point being that government officials find various ways to get out classified information -- that they find it useful to their political or bureaucratic interest to get out into the public domain, making a mockery of our secrecy laws and making it virtually impossible, in this case, for the government to simply use the classification standard as a ground for prosecuting somebody. . . >> if i may, i agree that there are laws and rules of engagem
