i think if i understd correctly from what you're saying that is what you as c.i.a. director tried to work at maybe rationalizing and fixing, sort of to the degree that you -- you know, can you characterize how successful you were at that? and i think that the second part of the question is probably to secretary chertoff but to you as well, is the c.i.a. maybe ahead of other agencies? do a lot of other agencies have catchup to do, what is the variation within the full community? >> yeah, what we did, and i'm going to be very quick about this, kevin so i don't drag you into my whole inbox, i said arbitrarily 10, and 10 plus five, but we had signed attached to it. we did a soup to nuts across-the-board look at all the things done in the agency and divided them into three baskets, core, core support and support, and you can kind of imagine, you know, in broad terms what each of those might include. when it came to core, the core jobs, the percentage of those jobs being done by government employees was in the mid-to-high 90s. ok? core support though actually had -- and i

and understds communation. ronald reagan was a great counicator. barackbama wants to be great communitor and barack obama h the greater virtue of being a very -- writ as well. so he kind brings it, it seems to me in the realm of trng to explain to the world and his citizens what- what ought to be done. so so far he's done no wrong. >> no, he's done plenty o ong and certainly dostically. i mean i -- remains to be seen ihis approach tryi to doealth care and cap and trade and all these thgs a a at once and b the way he's doing it, i don't ow that he should ha capitulated to nancy pelosi a the liberal leadersh of the house of representives on health care. that may be a big mistake. it remains to be seen. >> do you have aidea about it how longoes it hav to main to be seen. >> until we see if we gets a bill-passed i guess >> rose: he will get a bill passed but wh kind of bill. >> it is, d as people have said presidents ten are ry consciously try to be not the esident that cam before them. d in his case --. >> rose: bill clinton. >> but y look back at93,

he said you have to understd at i do. i read these gnats to letters o behalf of my clients and then we get nasty letters back and then i have to respond to their letter with another nasty letter and this will go on for a few weeks and then when my clients see how much they have run up in billable hours they start to get nasty with me in the whole business is just kind of nasty, so i said well, why don't you do something else? if you could have seen the look on his face he wld have thought i asked him, y don't you stop briefings? he goes you don't understand, we have got too big cars, my wife and i take big trips and she runs up big bills. what am i going to do? i said i don't know but it sounds like a big mistake to me. bee the truth of the matter is he can't even imagine getting himself on the situation h is in in part because he can't afford the drop in moynd probably status at least temporarily in changing jobs would entail. the probm with this is, if the like these been doing what you love is entirely different and pu

and what's wonderful for me today is to tell you that not only do i understd that but the leadership at the top understands that as well. president obama understands the importance of wellness and health. and so it's wonderful to have her come with us today to talk to you about what they are working on in terms of promoting health and wellness for seniors. i've known the secretaries for a long time. the administration in april, she was the governor in kansas for six years. we started to know each other years ago. when she was the commercial of reinsurance, she always focused on seniors within conmers, and health. she comes to this position with a long background ofhat it takes to keeps senior hlthy. please help us welcome her today. >> thank you. thankou.

there will be more competition competition leads to improvement but i also want to make sure people understd there are many players in the online space. i am representing reference tools and technologies we employee and things we believe to the corend iovate and around but is also important to know we were the 454th mmercial internet site so we have been around a longime when you think of the access. and, you know, in the last 15 years we have been meaningful presence in over 60 countries in this all-purpose of online career management. ,hp)e passionatebout and wewhat great life so when we are in tough:rr economic times and seen the employment rates the way they are if i don't have meaningful job that has trickled discuss.fs in 2008.g americans. the three largest;y of in unique, this is an accounting them once they've used one ofwxx us, 17 million- or 11.8% of u.. one technology,monster there are over 5.2 million job openings advertise across all major ongoing job boards. those may be duplicate. there are not saying our 5.2 million jobs. but to .2 million of those postingsre in august. so t

and it was aater-shed moment in our understding and our rsuit f war criminals. so i thought it was a terrific narrative that had a very important and sficantly positi impact so i wfter it. >> then you decided recently to go after it. when did you start this book? >> i started 2 1/2 years ago. i began researching and going to argentin and isrl seeing what i c find as well as to germany. i s beginning to see if i could get the mushod to open up. but if i could find individls who knew eichmann ahe time who participated with his sons trying t tck it once began to feel like i could sink my teeth int it, about a year and a half go i@ started really getting int the brass x t. and sitting down and going through the archives in argentina, israel, and germa. >> andn the u.s. >> yes. thanks to you. hi fou the declassification was dxtremely helul for me in at lst tracking what the cia an what the u.s. government knew aut eichmann and his cape after 1945. so i take it the peason you wanted to feel o the sources of information and israeli, rael's complex service, that's beuse

we have to understd what their strategy is. the way i characterized this in very simple terms is that the talin strategys run out the clock. run out the clock. if this were a football game, they view themselves as being in the fourth quarter. they are ahead on the scoreboard. they are controlling the ball pit and their strategy is to run out the clock on the opposition. being thus. that also plays to one of our greatest vulnerabilities, is our ability to stay committed for a long term conflict. and i will talk to that at the end and this issue of rebuilding american popular support. the taliban strategy is deeply roote@ in our history. certainly the recent history in the last 30 years. many afghans would approach me and asked the question when i was commander, you americans are not going to abandon us again, are you? because their experience, their history that they believe people in is at the end of the soviet conflict, which afghans believe they won on behalf of the west, and defeated the soviet empire on behalf of the west,

so they are willing to go with trend is happening in the economy whether they understd them or not only they can understand how to use the technology so y can always expect the government to pay for it. it can't be let's get a subsidy so all libraries and community centers can have high-speed internet. that would be great, right? provider have to make moneys well so maybe we try to form some consortium of busineswith municipalities trying to show here is where you can shift some of your budget to add value to your constituents as well as federal, state and local. >> i think from the work-force development perspective again it is a system that is vy overwhelmed as you all acknowledged earlier. the extent to which we are -- we at sleeper in partnership with other federal agencies can create within stes virtual one stops. could greatly reduce cost when you look at the typical cost of operating a one stop this the kind of center and don't think we have donner a lot to test the concept of how we provide work force development services including rehabilitation stocks that are virtual and i wo
