this i graduated from the american air force base right next door in tripoli, north africa. so i lived in that part of the world for several years. and they know senator sessions may be traveling to that region in the days ahead. i hope we can send a clear message of what is acceptable behavior and what is completely unacceptable. it is completely unacceptable to be detaining young people who are there to try to help the people of egypt. and we want to see this happen now, it's a very distressing and i've been briefed on this subject just yesterday and i take very seriously and if i have the opportunity, and maybe ill in the days to come to raise that in different forms, i'll be looking forward to doing so. but i take it very seriously. it's personal because it's your son and we know and respect and like you but it's also a matter of national interest to the united states that our young people are doing important work, would that is supported directly by the united states to support constitutional governments to support democracy. >> i graduated from high school from america

i was wondering if you could speak a little bit more on what nato's role was after the fall of tripoli, especially when gadhafi's forces were limited, and the tnc was much more on the offensive than it had been previously. how did nato's role change during that time, did you guys coordinate with the tnc with regard to protecting civilians? in a more advisory role, as opposed to taking more pragmatic -- or practical actions? i was wondering what your specific role was in that. >> well, even after the fall of tripoli, the threat against civilian population continues. and certain people were still being killed. and banny walid, as i stated before, so the threat continued. but one of the things we discovered is that as the hunter became -- stopped hunting, if you wish, our approach to it, as well, when civilians were not dying, we pulled back. we stopped doing some of the engagement that we did, and we pulled back, and more watch -- overwatched the situation and made sure that nothing could come in to start this situation again. we didn't -- we were not coordinated with the mtc. our action
