significant figure, one of the most important leaders of the resistence the pakisti state and to the united stes particularly ihis ome territory and among his people what made him distinctive was he was able to organize a pretty broa and vicious coalitionand he was ruthlessimself. he oeredurders without remorse. he has a loof blood on his hands by all account not justhat of benazir utto b hundreds of tradition tribal leaders and other who is out to oppose him. so betwe 2005 and the present was able more than othereaders in that region to organize an fective and violent movement. he will be replaced whether his suessor will be as effective in those ways as heas, we'll have to se >> and explain what t pakista taliban is, what its aims are an how much of threat it to the pakistani state. >> well, it announcedtself in december 2007 and masou was partf the unveing and it essentially a confederaon of likeinded islami revolutionariesho seek the ovehrow of the cotitutional order in pakistan and replaceme of aharia designed regime of thr own making. and it evolved into a guerrilla moment, a terrorist mov

when mark levin-- yomentioned hi- he said the president of the united stes is literally at w with theamerican people. and then people begi unsurprisingly, showing upt rallies withuns. wellobviously, if the president were. i mean, folks, if i bieved the president of the united statewere a nazi, re planning a fascist takeov, it would be contemptibly cowardly ofe not too everything in my power, including contemplatg violen, to resist such a thin every decent person ould do that. that's why you don say it when it's not true. and i mean, one of the ws that the constitution system works is with me understanding that thpeople on the other side ha slightly different priorities, but they share yr constitutional vues. they have invested in thsame stem. the problems they've got a hard problems. and evenf you don't like their answers, you have to have so restraint inhe way you talk about them, as you would hop they would have out you. and i think it'sust trageous. it is dangerous. it's dangerous forhe whole constitutional system. i'm absoluly prepared to fight with them. and by theay, it's danger

if we see a sittion in which the relationship between iran and the united stes is steadily deter ratinge iranians either correctly or because of their own politics come to the conclusion that the united states is trying to overthrow the regime or subvert the regime or prevent it from doing what it wants, one of the easiest ways for the iranians to fighback is in afghanistan. iran has significant influence in the western pt of the country and in the central azari region which is shia. if it stirs up trouble in those parts of the country, which have been by and large relatively quietor the last several ars, that will introduce a new front and as we've already discussed, we've got enough fronts in afghastan that we're dealing with now, we don't need another front. and i'll just take a moment on that. this is particularly matters for the transatlantic allies because many of them have their forces@b world, take that as an invitation from me. we're starting to realize reality. for a few years we complaed while we were busy in iraq the allies wen't helping in afghanistan and ty should and coul

want to quote you, a you said that you would be concerned about other nationals looking in on the united stesand making a determination that if it's good enough for the united states, it's good enough for us, and perhaps doing damage and harm to some of our servicewomen and men if they were to be held. how do you think the provisions measure up in terms of reciprocity? are these provisions good enough for the united states in your view? >> yes, sir, senator. they are. and i would get back to what senator levin said. the two major points that we have to be concerned about is reciprocity, and are we creating a just and fair system. think we are prepared to take an unlawful or unprivileged enemy combatant to one of these missions. if we believe that we have created a fair and just process with this bill, we should not be shy about taking anyone before these commissions, for i think senator, just that reason. and i would be very comfortable with u.s. services members subjecd to these rules. >> thank you for that answer. mr. kris and mr. johnson, if i might turn to you in the question of the provi
