i myself became a united states citizen in february of this year. i acquired information from the library to prepare myself. i speak fluent english, and even though i had knowledge, i had questions. then i found this great booklet, and i found the address for the people who represent the citizenship class is. although i did not need any class is, i had a lot of questions. one was i need a creditor to sign the papers. like anything else, if you go to university and you get something to write, you have to study. the next time you go back, you have questions for the professor. the same applies to hear. elderly citizens need this help. particularly people who do not speak the language. if you do not have a creditor, you need an attorney, and people do not have the financial resources. the organization that i went to, i must say was extraordinarily helpful and gave me a lot of support, and it works. so, please, keep it going. thank you very much. >> supervisors. thank you for hearing us today. i am here with a confession -- i'd died at a nert triage dril

there was a new way of being in the world but in effect you had two passports one stamped united states citizen and the other stamped citizen of the world that was the mission of the peace corps it is still important today to remember with humility and with gratitude that that there's a different way from being in the in the world as an american in swagger and a big stick that it's possible to live side by side with the world share and grow together toward a more understanding a greater understanding of each other he said that was the mission of the free of the peace corps what. have we. what has changed and when did it change when did that stop being the way that we saw ourselves as americans and and and project ourselves out into the world. i think the more militaristically our foreign policy has become over the years and you know we've had almost no year without with real peace in the world in the last twenty five years old always been some military action of one kind or another with the increasing militarization of american society and particularly with the trav it's a tragedy of nine eleve

united states pays the international monetary fund, as well as countries around the world, and what you have right now is a group of republican senators that are saying, that's not right. we as the united states citizenssay, but this whole world is interconnected, and as you see what's happened in our stock market, as you see what's happened in our economy, if we're not thinking in a global way, then all of a sudden we leave ourselves at risk, as well. it's a real lly complicated situation. >> sounds like one of those darned if you do, darned if you don't. >> it's very true. and that's the problem policymakers are facing now. >> now here's jeff at the news desk with one final check for you of your headlines on this tuesday. good morning. >> erica, good morning to you. nato this morning says one of its unmanned helicopters crashed in libya this morning. it was on a surveillance mission at the time. nato's been operating american-made drone helicopters. an investigation is under way. >>> two suicide car bombs exploded outside a government compound in southern iraq this morning. at least 21 people were killed, and dozens were hurt. one attacker drove his car into a security checkpoint outside the provinc

united states increasingly involved u.s. persons, united states persons, american citizens. based on the latest intelligence and law enforcement actions, we now operate on the assumption that individuals prepared to carry out terrorist attacks may be in the united states now and could carry out acts of violence with little or no warning. so we have been dealing with an increasingly diffuse source of terrorism and increasingly smaller methodology of attack. what do they mean by that? the big spot, the big conspiracies that involve years and years to develop, to get people into the country, to train them at flight schools, to be able to website -- weaponize commercial air carriers, those are not the types of plots that we see now. what we see now are more diffuse, smaller, involving a single person, and as we know, it is very difficult if not impossible to stop a single person if there is no one with him that person is communicating, sharing information, plans, or spots. the-fox. there is nothing to interrupt until something actually occurs. so as we move forward, we believe th

against the so-and-so in the next election and beat him and that's how i got in the united states senate. not every citizen can run in the united states senate and defeat the senator who they think doesn't treat them fairly in the confirmation process, but there is a lot about the confirmation process that can be fixed and still leave all of us with the right to hold up, vote against, defeat 1,200 different nominations by the president. take, for example, what happened in president obama's first year. according to news accounts, we were in march of 2009, there were key vacant positionings -- positions at the treasury department, the assistant secretary for tax policy and the deputy assistant secretary for tax policy and the deputy assistant secretary for tax analysis and the deputy assistant secretary for tax trade and tariff policy, the deputy assistant secretary for international tax affairs, the first choice for deputy secretary of the treasury withdrew her name from consideration. four months after the president's election in the biggest economic crisis we had had since the great depression, according

affirms that the united states is engaged in an armed conflict with al qaida the taliban and associated forces and that those entities continue to pose a threat to the united states and its citizens the president has the authority to use all necessary and appropriate force during the current armed conflict pursuant to the authorization for use of military force until the terminations of hostilities. in other words war of terror war on terror excuse me until all the terrorists on earth are killed something that will never happen this is the worst nightmare for james madison the father of our constitution the fourth president of the united states madison wrote so eloquently that of all the enemies of true liberty war is perhaps the most to be dreaded because it comprises in develops the germ of every other in war madison continued the discretionary power of the president is extended its influence in dealing out offices honors and of all humans is multiplied in all the means of seducing the mines are added to those of subduing the force of the people war is in fact the true nurse of executive of a grand eyes didn't. in war a physical force is to be created and it is the executive th

united states. one out of every nine mexican citizens in the world lives in the united states. that's a greater share than any country expect el salvador. which is a small country. 300 million across the border back and forth every year. why do we want to dwell on the past when we are so open and so beneficial to the country to be so open. but we're obsessed with it. you know, we have a very change situation in mexico. it's one the anecdotes i write about here. we have laws that foreclosured a series of jobs to naturalize mexicans. a naturalized cannot be a member of the cabinet, governor, mayor, police chief, member of the board of the central bank, can't with a congressman or senator. on the one hand we demand rights for mexicans in the u.s. whether comes legally or not. but we deny minimum righted to naturalized mexicans, american, spanish, brazilian, chinese, whatever. it's an absurd situation which can't go on. >> jorge castaneda served as prime minister of mexico from 2000 to 2002. working with president vicente fox. how much of the time as foreign minister when dealing w

december 21, 1988, pan am 103 exploded over scotland, killing two hundred 70 people 189 were united states citizens current 34 them were from my home state of new jersey. 12 years later, the individual who was convicted of conspiracy for planting bombs that brought down a flight was sent to a scottish prison to serve a sentence. in august 2009, he was released on compassionate grounds by the scottish government who said that he had limited time to live. he currently is still alive and lives in tripoli. he has been evading justice from france far more than 20 years this is the opportunity to learn who carried out the plant, who made the bomb, and this person who should return to justice. it states that the president shall urge the transitional national council and any successor government of libya to cooperate with and for debate in the investigation. its slate -- it states that the president shall consider the cooperation of successor libya with making decisions about confiscated property and u.s. assistance. it has a more narrow reporting requirement. i think justice dictates it and it is our to n

date, we face a significant threat from radicalized individuals within the united states, including the united states citizens who have lived here their entire lives and yet are still drawn to the ideology and conduct attacks. most notable among these included the times square bomber, the new york city subway bomber, and major hassan. theoday's 112 congress, subcommittee have been focused. we learn about the threats from yemen, pakistan, and unrest in the middle east and north africa. today, i look forward of learning what the men and women from the department of homeland security on the front lines are doing in this war on terrorism. our patrol officers are charged but preventing terrorist weapons from illegally entering the country. tsa officers are trying to prevent terrorists from boarding the aircraft, and the targets of al qaeda since its inception. myself and the ranking member have international airports in our districts, so we know firsthand the challenges facing aviation security. the ice agency are responsible for looking at those who remain in the country illegally, and the coast guard is tasked w

but because i am a united states citizen and i know what a great country we live in and how good the people of the united states of america are, and our value system, i don't want to judge inn else on our value system but our value system as far as human life goes, i believe is, we have a pretty high expectation and a pretty high regard for our humankind. so the way that we, i believe the way that we view humanity, we have a kinder heart is what i want to say. and i always sit back and ponder that statement because i wonder if someone who had a different point of view about the value of human life decided to take that position, we as a world could be in trouble. host: another financial story this morning. new orleans, republican line. caller: yes. my concern is i think the air bases the u.s. has abroad should evaluate, maybe shuth down some of them. here's my concern, pedro. my concern is that the u.s. as a super power should show leadership and do the right thing and not bail out. right now they basically they bailed out or started taking a leadership especially in the issue with lib

it is absolutely incumbent upon the president to lay out, in terms that united states citizens can understand, what we are facing. i'll just be very candid. i could not be more disappointed with the president's comments yesterday. and it's his podium. he's free to talk about whatever he chooses to talk about. and he doesn't need the advice of mike johanns. but i will at the you what a great opportunity that was to talk about the dire situation of our budget and to lay out in stark detail what bring brings o this situation. and invite the american people to understand the difficulty we are facing, and most importantly to put a plan out that the president stands behind. now, let me tell you what happened this year. the president put out a plan. the plan came to the floor of the senate, and it was so disregarded, it did not get a single vote. it wasn't a serious plan. no one took it as a serious plan. now, think about that. no republican, no democrat, no independent, no liberal, no mfort, no moderate said this is the right plan for the future of this great nation, not a single one in this united

citizens? as president of the united states, the first consideration would be how is this going to positively impact citizens of the united states? and, in fact, it may not positively impact them at all. might it cost them money and not make a difference in any of their lives? that is an analysis i made all of the time as governor of new mexico, so government spending in new mexico went way down. billions of dollars of spending would have taken place but for my saying no to that spending. >> was there an issue or an agenda that you wanted to deal with that you were not able to prove >> no. -- not able to prove -- to? >> no. no sacred cows. there was going to be no political fallout for what i was doing because i had never been involved in politics before, and the best politics will actually be to address all of the issues, a through z. people ask me, what are you most proud of having been governor of new mexico? i addressed the issue, a frizzy. it did not matter what the issue was. we took it on. >> mount kilimanjaro, mount everest. you have climbed them off. >> the highest mountains are in the hima

united states of america. he has a long, long history of weapons of mass destruction, of supporting terrorist groups, of economisting terrorist acts against united states citizens and in general being an unstable and destabilizing figure. when the president of libya decided to rise up to throw him out, it was a very appropriate thing for them to do. now, we all wish that mr. gaddafi would have gone quietly and simply, that certainly would have been the easier way to go, but he didn't. and to protect those people who had legitimate aspirations for a better government, we needed to intervene military -- militarily to assist. i think in this instance the best thing about this is we were not alone. the arab league, the united nations, nato took the lead. there is a great deal of instability throughout the middle east and that is unquestionably in the national security interests of the united states of america to do whatever we can to try and reduce that instability and make sure that we have friends, allies and also governments that legitimately represent the aspirations of their people. that is one of the greatest problems we've had, we have supported governments

many of which have neither the attend our capability to attack the united states or our citizens. -- be it the intent or capability to attack the united states or our citizens. iran and syria remain a leading state sponsors of terrorism. hezbollah and hamas threaten israel and our interests in the middle east. we will continue to use the full range of our foreign policy tools to prevent these regimes and organizations from endangering our national security. president obama has made it clear the united states is determined to prevent iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. we will continue working closely with allies and partners, including sharing and acting upon intelligence to prevent the flow of weapons to of moss and hezbollah and protect our citizens and interests. -- weapons to hamas. the network that poses the most significant threat to the united states is al qaeda, its affiliates and its adherents. we use these terms deliberately. it is al qaeda, a core group founded by osama bin laden, as murdered our citizens in the bombings of our embassies in kenya and tanzania to the attack

vienna and those ten people accused of being on registered agents in the united states all returned to russia all but one a citizen of the rule of the keep the law is she actually returned to her home country we know that upon arrival here in russia most of them received very warm welcomes they actually met with a russian president who did say that they will be getting state awards for services to their country perhaps the most famous person out of those people is chapman of course nicknamed the russian james ball and she has become a very prominent media personality here in russia he's also a member of a youth political party so she's definitely. enjoying a lot of media attention. and that of course has been a very high profile case which is why the trial of alex on the sea of the colonel who allegedly. who basically betrayed those people working for their government and was found guilty by a moscow military court today is also receiving a lot of media attention. thanks indeed for bringing us more on this because humans are with their. stories now here in our team senior venezuelan officials have denied that the

now, to put these numbers into perspective today, each united states citizen would have to pay pay $46,000 to pay off our national debt. that's $11,000 more than two years ago. and each american family -- and i hope you're sitting down when you're listening to this. each american family would need to write a check for $127,000 just to square up the books, just to get the debt paid off. that's not even addressing the spending that is out of control today. looking at unemployment in january, 2009, the unemployment -- the unemployment rate was absolutely unacceptable at 7.8%. today, after almost a trillion dollars of stimulus spending, unemployment has grown 17% with almost two million americans who can't find work, notwithstanding their best efforts. now, maybe somebody is going to come down here and say but there is other news you should be looking at. well, i looked at some other news. regarding health care costs, career to the proponents of the health care overhaul, health insurance premiums for the average family have gone up 19% since 2009. put it simply, doubling down on deficit spendi

then the police department, you can say that, and you certainly have that right as a citizen of the united states, and you're immediately sent over to the administration of internal affairs, where you were given an admonition, and you were going to say, now you're going to tell me exactly what happens, and they have to tell you or you're fired. that is the circumstance we're going through right now. i can tell the officers to tell me what happened, because if they do not, they are fired. so, they are telling us what went on. and it to the bottom of this investigation. with regard to generically if people do not say what ever -- there is pressure, but i think that largely, now in this day and age, with the light shining on us 100% of the time, i would tell you that when issues come forward, the officers would not have happened. >> mr. herley, do you have comments? >> i would absolutely agree with the chief. there are very few times you were brought before your boss and ordered to tell the truth or you're fired, period. my concern is when your not ordered to come before your boss, and you see somet

one has to ask the united states others to investigate who among their citizens had responsibilities this case the minister of defense and the advisor to the president we've heard are dual citizens of the united states oneould hope that would be investigated here. >> suarez: mark schneider of the international crisis group. thank you. >> thank you. >> brown: finally tonight, we turn now to a very different story from afghanistan. it's part of "the economist film project," a newshour collaboration with "the economist" magazine. together, we showcase independently-produced documentaries that take us places we don't ordinarily go. here's an excerpt from "skateistan" by filmmaker orlando einsiedel. he followed the founders of a skate park in kabul and the kids who came to have fun and perhaps even jumpstart changes in their country. >> my name is shana and i'm hear managing the skate park in the skatistan program. skateboarding is a fantastic way to get people to communicate with each other and build relations with each other. the main focus of skatistan is to build confidence and give t
