the gulf news in the u.a.e. breaking the syrian deadlock. sadly because damascus refuses the league u.n. plan, that's the arab league united nations plan, and to avoid a full flemminged civil war, the last available option might well be an arab league nato operation. obviously damascus will put up stiff resistance those syrians will probably live to rebuild their shattered lives. so perhaps suggesting some sort of conflict might work for the good. china daily, respect for different viewpoints. the international community should give russia and china more time for mediation rather than forcing a hurried vote in the u.n. security council, which has only escalated the crisis rather than resolve it. all the commentary very much looking ahead to the future, fredricka. >> max faster, thanks so much from london. >>> back in this country now turning to the gop race for the white house. rick santorum has released four years of his tax returns to cover his time since leaving the senate. our political editor paul steinhauser joins us now. paul, what ki

pakistani ambassador to the united states, ambassador haqqani was allowed to leave and he did arrive in u.a.ening. nonetheless the situation, i think as our british colleagues might say is fraught and it is going to take some time. it is going to take a lot of diplomacy engagement and so forth to move forward in a relationship that's important to both our countries. i should note as a general comment we believe the relationship between the intelligence services is generally still productive. there is certainly good communication going back and forth and there have been some important, again, pursuit of important mutual objectives between the two services. >> thank you both very much. mr. vice chairman? >> thanks, madam chair. director clapper, press reports, and i emphasize that, indicate that the united states is prepared to trade five taliban members currently detained at guantanamo as a confidenc confidence-building measure in negotiations with the taliban. now all five detainees that are named by the press were determined by the current administration to be, and i quote, too dangerous to
