showing that while many economists think that the fed's current policy has been a success, quote, unquote, most don't believe that the fed will start tapering until after the september meeting coming up. only 10% of economists expect

the president said, quote/unquote, we'll get to the bottom of this because it can never happen again and then he stan was a kid when watergate broke but it wasn't -- it was woodward and bernstein but then it was everybody. >> us that with a republican president. >> i tell you, that's the scary part. this really does underscore the sort of media bias. the good thing is there are other outlets out there. the oth it was just a couple. the main strooechl media holds the sway. most tv networks in america get their talking points from the new york times. that's one of the problem with this story. it's hard to pick up steam when the establishment won't go after the president over something that's really sleazy. i mean this smells really bad whether you're a republican. suppose you're a republican and he does the same thing. you set the press department that this president can get away

university and so on he has also exposed all the country's intelligence services which are quote unquote in bed with the n.s.a. and are essentially doing the same thing like the u.k.'s g.c. . so it's not just civil liberties advocates on this side of the atlantic who are grateful to snowden in washington i'm going to check them well russia on its part says there's no reason why the decision over snowden's asylum should damage relations with the u.s. that's also the view shared by a london based legal expert on xander a curious. the ball in a sense is in the american court that the russian authorities have been extremely careful to do this by the book they've insisted on mr snowden making a proper application he's done it through a lawyer there is a well founded case here for asylum the u.s. has no legal grounds to object to this now that he is in russia proper i think he the intention will be to apply for full refugee status if the u.s. number less wants to jeopardize its very important relationship with russia because russia has done something which it is legally fully entitle to do tha

decided it did not always need to report the quote unquote unintended surveillance of americans and also some details on what the agency does to avoid scrutiny from congress and from the secretive. foreign intelligence surveillance court analysts are specifically warned that the n.s.a. analysts say those documents show that they are war and that the mosques not provide the evidence on which they base their quote unquote reasonable articulable suspicion that a target will produce valid foreign intelligence so basically they are instructed to give only very broad rationale for snooping on someone the n.s.a. defend itself by saying the information avail is available it's requested. members of congress may read the unredacted documents but only in a special secure room and they are not allowed to take notes and fewer than ten percent of lawmakers employ a staff member who has the security clearance to read the reports and provide advice about their meaning and significance so generally it seems not only has the probably been in the dark about these programs but also those who are supposed to

a one other example for instance is more than four knots who have described the prison as a quote unquote place without walls he said that he had suffered repeated abuse said terry geisha techniques including sexual humiliation of water torture as well as sleep deprivation in response to artie's queries in the deputy joint task force public affairs officer at guantanamo so this reply we don't comment on the need to cheney allegations made through the defense attorneys regardless of how ridiculous and absurd to the allegations might be we also contacted the u.s. state department for their comments on the shocker on most case but we have yet to hear a reply reporting from london i'm tess are cilia. has been concentrated for eleven years without charge and his lawyer clive smith says they are in phase of centuries of being done to intimidate prisoners. we have now raised it with the american courts that they shouldn't be doing this they shouldn't effectively be sexually assaulting the prisoners and it was the government i believe who first started using the term scruton search if you will be

congress he thinks russia for quote unquote the courage they had shown in keeping his son's safe zone his father does not think his son would get a fair trial in the u.s. he also said this as a father it pains me what he did i wish my son could could simply have sat in hawaii and taken the big paycheck lived with his beautiful girlfriend and enjoyed paradise he says but as an american citizen i apps i am absolutely thankful for what he did well so are more than fifty five percent of americans who consider snowden a whistleblower not a traitor or it just gives a brief overview of what snowden did do to get him so self in so much trouble briefly just a reminder for those who may be in store at this stage. well first we learned about the prison program a system that the n.s.a. uses to gain access to the private communications of users of nine popular internet services edward snowden revealed that prism collects unable collection directly from the servers of microsoft yahoo google facebook and other online companies the government said the n.s.a. does does that only with a warrant from th

the detainees a one other example for instance is more or not have described the prison as a quote unquote place without walls he said that he had suffered repeated abuse said terry geisha techniques including sexual humiliation of water torture as well as sleep deprivation in response to artie's queries if the deputy joint task force public affairs officer at one tunnel sent us this reply we don't comment on the need to take any allegations made through the defense attorneys regardless of how ridiculous and absurd to the allegations might be we also contacted the u.s. state department for their comments on a shocker on my space but we have yet to hear a reply reporting from london i'm tess are cilia. and the snake from the london guantanamo campaign says the strong tics are used to unsettle detainees. all of what's going on with the with the searches making noise during the night time these sexual abuse it's all part of seems to be part of a pattern of intimidation of the person of the detainees and part of a ploy to try and break the hunger strike that the detainees are carrying on with

for a while now in two thousand and ten he wrote to his supervisor that he joined the army to quote unquote to get rid of it of course has been a struggle for him we heard his defense talk about talk about this but his attorney also said the stress that he was under was never an excuse because that's not what drove his actions. he said what drove his actions was a strong moral compas he said that because for most media here personal drama becomes the main story and it overshadows everything bradley manning has actually done he wants to be referred to as chelsea and he has released a statement saying he is female i think manning has said he wanted to become a woman named chelsea it's easier to talk about his sex than about foreign policy and the human cost of war and that's what grabs the headlines and we see everybody jumping on it and then someone is going to watch the story and say ok this is where it's coming from and that kind of a narrative could be convenient for the government i mean the notion that bradley manning did what he did not out of conviction but out of his personal drama a

low margin debt high that borrowed money which is always a sign of a top it's also been in a quote unquote bull market for a number of weeks that corresponds to the average length of a move in the market so that's rolling over and at the same time you've got now the bond market has peaked in the last twelve months the yields it those incredible lows yields are starting to move up and rising ills of course are the headwind that stocks cannot overcome and that looks like it's to increase well you talk about record margin on the market well over in the housing market remember where we're hearing the propaganda that housing in america is in a recovery and it's all because of mom and pop the ordinary investor is able to participate homes are now affordable thanks to the zero rates from the federal reserve well the actual reality of the facts on the ground are quite different reports. how of all homes are being purchased with cash in fact this is a little more than half a closer to sixty percent according to goldman sachs are being purchased with all cash that compares to twenty percent in two t

they said they're officially arming the rebels is that they were sending a large amount of quote unquote small arms rifles that sort of thing as well as things that have been flowing in from europe and sort of through europe and america the gulf states shoulder to shoulder fired rockets that can take out tanks or be used against. and things of that nature so it's still primarily sort of a small arms kind of thing i mean they're not sending them you know huge large missiles but it's huge hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of tons of this type of equipment plus the so-called non-lethal aid which includes communications equipment and all of us know in the twenty first century particularly on the battlefield those who have the communications and electronic advantage are often able to gain the upper hand so even though it's called non-lethal it's used to coordinate the war effort well you know as you mentioned of course we know that very radical islamic groups are fighting alongside the rebels people have called them al qaeda that's unquestionable how is the u.s. making sure that these arms a

with iran and the result was that iran wins every time i mean the only way that iran can lose quote unquote is if the us essentially incinerates all their cities with nuclear bombs any other outcome is an iranian victory. it's it's a very very bad work plan unless of course you're a psychotic israeli like couldn't quite netanyahu and you would be perfectly happy to nuke you know every array and city but of course that would be a work crime that would put the us out of its position as the leader of the world instantly the whole world would be you know is just so disgusted by that it would be the end of america's life as as a world power america's new but still to war bill full says us to attack iran if israel does feel it's just too close grossman voted against events your own resolution a few years back they will pull and that is christian. just left office there just once and you were considered just press secretary is this by extol to war the game changer to explicitly give a foreign nation that power to declare war is to push the momentum out of control out of your hands you can't take i

one answer to that is that some 30-year fixed rate loans exist without government help, unquote. that was the washington post, not national review. home buyer should have the opportunity to acquire a 30-year fixed rate mortgage. it's important to many americans, but washington shouldn't steer people into it, but instead should ensure that our citizens have informed choices about an array of products to meet their needs. as ed demarco, head of the federal housing finance agency stated, quote, one thing i would say about 30-year mortgages, it is not necessarily the best product for a home buyer, especially a first time home buyer. those own a first home for four or five years, and may not be the best for their circumstances if they buy that house with that kind of timeline. there may be a different mortgage product in which they build equity at a faster rate than a 30-year fixed rate mortgage, unquote. president obama has acknowledged that shorter duration loans hold advantages for many borrowers like proposing last year, expanded loan refinance program where borrowers r quote, mus
