the security can be preferred if united states draws down as 0 1/2 as the current agreement calls us do. secondly, and also in the context of the current agreement, there has been a lot of discussion about the state department's interest in providing alternative means of security for the civilian presence in the country as the u.s. troops abrodrawdown and tht might involve private contracting, especially given to the degree that private security contracts are sma not popular in iraq. >> that is a scary question. i do not have the exact figures in front of me, but i believe half of the sons of a roiraq hae been integrated. the integration process slowdown in the lead up to the national elections because the government came to the reasonable judgment that it was good to keep some of them at their checkpoints for security reasons in the lead up to the election, and we're frozen a little bit in that time. i think it will take a new iraqi government for them to live up to the commitments to employ these people, even in civilian fo-- either in civilian court ministry places. the sons of a

as chuck said, we spend billions of billions of dollars building a very sophisticated system in the west united states and it's complicated and let's test it. draw down the river 25 feet and see if our models are right. there's a lot of things we can do with models without physically doing it. there's compelling scientific evidence that posted challenges to our water systems. unfortunately, there's pretty serious evidence that we may not about quickly or effectively enough to prevent some pretty extensive consequences for us. i think that's a problem. . manager's must use current tools but also look at future risks. policy manager's have the opportunity to do this. we already manager for variability and risk. we build homes in earthquake zones not knowing how big or when the earthquake will be. but we manager risks and we have lots of tools for doing that management but we're not doing enough yet. either in planning or actually on the ground action. we do need to take more on the ground action. ultimately the impact will depend on our ability to for see major changes and do the analysis and adopt and implement changes and this is in the face of surpr

united states is still going to be around with a lot of troops. >> my personal preponderance is that draw downs will be a fairly limited numbers and as we are successful we will probably accelerate. it'll depend on the conditions onto ground. > both officials expressed outrage about the release of thousands of afghanistan war records last week by wikileaks saying it puts american troops and figuring who cooperate with us at risk. >> possibility for costing us lives is significant. i said when it first happened i was appalled. i remain appalled and that the possibility for the loss of lives, of american soldiers or coalition soldiers or afghanistan citizens is clearly there. >> reporter: he said the united states is trying to protect afghanistan people named in the documents. >> an iran spokesman said three hikers detained are being investigated for breaching the security of the islamic republic. it appears to be in response to recent pleas for their release. he also denounced what he called political pressure and media things with demonstrations. yesterday was one year since the three were detained in iran after wander across the rder. >> the presiden

united states cross a 20 draws down to zero. in the context of the status of forces agreement, there has been discussion of the state department's interest in alternative means of security for the country as troops brought down, and that the presence might involve private contractors. especially given the degree to which private security contractors are unpopular in iraq, i am curious to what degree you believe that we can secure the kind of civilian presence we walk in the country as the u.s. security presence itself draws down. >> those are great questions. i don't have exact figures in front of me, but i think it is about half the sons of iraq have been integrated either into isf or civilian jobs. the integration process slows down in the lead up to the national election because the iraqi government came to the reasonable judgment that it was good to keep some of these guys at their checkpoints, especially in baghdad and some other places, for security reasons in the lead up to the election. we were frozen a little bit in that period. it will probably take a little -- it will probably take a new iraqi government and commitments to employ these folks in civilian or security ministries.
