organizer has so eloquently stated he said muslims are not culturally backwards for attacking us embassies americans are culturally backwards for not understanding why. now i think that the militant response is only due to an inflammatory film is extremely naive and tense hostility toward the us long predates this film and the reasons are hardly difficult to recognize prize or goes on to explain in a recent editorial these protests can only be understood by taking into account the historic role of a period lism which is left a deep reservoir of anger toward the united states and other colonizers some of the actions have been invasion of iraq support for brutal military dictatorships armenian funding israel for its nonstop war and occupation of the palestinian people the tourists illegal torture and endless drone warfare which targets civilians only by analyzing the backdrop of colonial violence in these regions can set a light on how and why these things occur but in large part the historical and contextual amnesia of colonialism and imperialism is completely absent from the mainstream nar

the things that they're in front of them whether it's the the all shops all over there it's the us embassy it's this is the reaction of the people and this policy not only draws people don't forget alabama stan and fled iraq and palestine and all these. situations so these reactions are as i said it's part. of the foreign policy of the usa live from london somebody president of the arab lawyers association thank you. the georgian government is struggling to save face has public protests continue in reaction to the prison abuse scandal fury flared after a leaked video showed inmates being tortured and raped by guards at one of the country's jails the authorities have already arrested several suspects including the head of the facility georgia's interior minister and corrections minister have both stepped down over the scandal prison guards have across the country have also been replaced with police officers but protesters insist that's not enough to make up for what's being compared to guantanamo as you go to school no reports. this story is continuing to unfold here in georgia of the inter

embassy. the egyptian government did not do that so they must be held accountable. back here, the issue is clearly being usedn the presidential campaign. here is what mitt romney said about the u.s. embassy statement. >> they clearly sent mixed messages to the world and the statement that came from the administration and the embassy is the administration, the statement that came from the administration was a statement which is akin to it apology and i think was a severe miscalculation. >> bill: now, i'm not sure the governor is correct on that. the embassy was trying to head off the violence. being conciliatory in that kind of a situation seems logical. but, after the fact, after the attack on the embassy, i believe the u.s.a. should be much stronger than what president obama said from the white house. >> today we mourn four more americans who represent the very best of the united states of america. we will not waiver in our commitment to see that justice is done for this terrible act and make no mistake. justice will be done. >> bill: but what kind of justice, mr. president. the libyan government's chaotic.

it's kind of like a quick reaction for us to the embassy in tripoli to beef that up. they're also notifying troops around the world that potentially they could be used in various ways to ensure the security of american personnel and then, of course, as you mentioned, you've got the destroyers. this would be the destroyers and the drones would be used more, let's say, if the president determined that it was a time to strike against whoever was the group that carried out this attack. >> and we'll have a look back at the life of the ambassador, a remarkable career. and we're also going to talk to senator john mccain who knew him personally. jill and jomana, we'll check in with you. this is a story with a lot of moving parts, and a lot of countries with unseen dimensions, which is why we want to bring in princeton university anne-marie slaughter. until recently she served. and also cnn's chief international correspondent christiane amanpour, and this points to the powder keg of the region, the difficulty of operating here. what do you make of this? i mean, do you see it es

it's kind of like a quick reaction for us to the embassy in tripoli to beef that up. they're also notifying troops around the world that potentially they could be used in various ways to ensure the security of american personnel and then, of course, as you mentioned, you've got the destroyers. this would be the destroyers and the drones would be used more, let's say, if the president determined that it was a time to strike against whoever was the group that carried out this attack. and, anderson, there have been a lot of very interesting and disturbing and very sad details that are coming out. you know, initially it looked -- the implications seemed to be that the ambassador might have been killed in a direct attack, let's say, on his car or something like that. it turns out that is not the case. when the attack took place on the consulate in benghazi, it started a fire. and in that fire, which filled the entire consulate with smoke, it appears that he was trying perhaps to go to the roof and then became separated from the other people and died. there's still a lot of

with impaired judgment like that, no wonder the barbarians play us like a fiddle while embassies burn only time magazine would run a cover story like why do they hate us? maybe it would stop. sorry, that didn't work. what the media yet to face up to is you can't negotiate with psychotics who see hatred everywhere and blame everybody by themselves. you have can't negotiate with middle eastern islamists either. dana i know, we had a meeting this morning and you threw scalding cup of coffee in my face because you disagree. you believe this coordination and discussion is standard. >> dana: i am one to defend the media, one covering candidate and the president. but sometimes they make it very hard to do so. rare that a candidate or president these days gives an opportunity to ask questions. if there is driving news of the day, instead of something somebody ask off the wall question about the senate race in missouri, they all have marching orders from their bosses they need to get the story of the day, the sugar, not the meat and potato but what keeps them going. the carb diet. it's not unu

embassy, so, let's bring in ian lee for us this morning, he is in cairo. have the protests let up at all there in the capital? >> earlier this morning police and security forces cracked down heavily on protesters, pushing them away from the u.s. embassy. the protesters fell back to tahrir square and the security forces pushed them out from there. right now it seems to be over. the protesters seemed to have dispersed into the city. we are not seeing them coming back. in tahrir square, we have hundreds of security forces, riot police, plain clothed officers keeping control of the area around the u.s. embassy and in tahrir square. i also want to mention in sinai yesterday, militants attacked a u.n. peacekeeping base out there. we're hearing from state television that that incident is over. the egyptian military clamped down on that hard with tanks, with soldiers, a lot of infantry involved. they say during the whole conflict that four soldiers from fiji were injured, but they say now the area is controlled and security has been restored to that u.n. peacekeepi

us now. >> reporter: jenna, good to see you. what all this started with the fact that the u.s. embassyn cairo in that first incident in egypt denounced this anti-muslim film. it sounded like they were apologizing for the film and not denouncing the protesters who called the walls of the u.s. embassy there initially. that is what governor romney was responding to last night in a written statement. now the obama campaign in chicago denounced that. said governor romney was politicizing all of this to start things off and was suggesting that the embassy in cairo was only reacting in an attempt to sort of quell the violence and that it was not a statement that was put out originally by the embassy after the actual violence. but in fact if you look at twitter, there were tweets put out by the embassy saying they stood behind the statement even after the violence had occurred there in cairo. that is why governor romney as you say a short time ago did not back down and suggested that the administration here had apologized instead of denouncing the violence. take a listen to the governor. >> th

embassy in cairo. police reportedly used tear gas to disperse the protesters after they threw stones and petrol bombs to the embassy. the protests in yemen and egypt follow tuesday night's storming of the united states consulate in the libyan city of benghazi. the u.s. ambassador christopher stevens and three other staff members were killed in the attack. stevens is the first u.s. ambassador to be killed on duty since 1979. on wednesday, president obama vowed to bring to justice those responsible for the deaths in libya. >> the united states condemns in the strongest terms this outrageous and shocking attack. we are working with the government of libya to secure our diplomats and have directed my administration to increase security at posts around the world. make no mistake, we will work with the libyan government to bring to justice the killers who attack our people. >> the obama administration has dispatched an elite group of marines to the libyan capital of tripoli. in addition, two u.s. warships are reportedly headed towards the libyan coast and the u.s. has redeployed surveillance drones over libya

during the day egyptian riot police used tear gas to keep angry demonstrator as way from the u.s. embassy. in yemen police used water canons to hold off protesters who earlier climbed over the embassy's iron gate. fresh anti-american demonstrations also broke out in iraq. >> there is no justification, none at all, for responding to this video with violence. >> reporter: secretary of state hillary clinton appealed for calm and expressed to the muslim world that the film in question does not represent the s. government. >> this video is disgusting and reprehensible. >> reporter: the state department is bracing for even bigger protests following friday prayers in the middle east. thursday president obama said he'd ordered all the necessary steps to protect americans abroad. tuesday night violence at the u.s. consulate in benghazi, libya left four americans dead including ambassador chris stevens. libyan authorities reported that they have made some arrests. >> i saw those press reports before i came down. i was not able to confirm them, but obviously it would be a good thing if we're startin

politicians get all their information by the mainstream media and i ask myself why if we use to have an embassy in this country why do you use to have diplomatic personnel in this country and by the way why do we have a secret service who is monitoring what is going on we are doing a lot of things based on. more or less very very bad information sources but when it comes out later that it's wrong we don't step back now their example which is maybe a little bit more funny if you compared but it's serious of course if you look of about the political consequences of his was the so-called syrian gager if you remember last year in june there are several n.g.o.s homosexuals in she owes where not just to clarify what you're speaking about was a a blog that was supposed to be from a lesbian woman in syria that turned out to actually be written by a man based in scotland. so so it was it came out in june there was a big campaign they were claiming that this syrian girl which never existed which is also it well known today that she never existed that she was arrested by the security forces so the german

embassy. security forces are using water cannons. all lot of unrest in the city.onstrators burned american flags and police shot live rounds in the ear and fired tear gas. we have live video for you now, clashes are continuing in cairo for the fourth day of rope. protesters earlier were throwing rocks at police. this morning in the egyptian president went on state tv and appealed to muslims to protect a state embassies. libya has for people under arrest in connection with the deadly attacks on the u.s. consulate. officials believe armed militants use the protest as a cover to attack the u.s. consulate. an interior minister says the attacks were an organized two- part operation by heavily armed militants and they may have been tipped off to the safe house location by a spy within security forces. u.s. officials believe the radical islamic group, an offshoot of al qaeda, is likely behind the attacks. >> on what people around the world to hear me, to all those who do us harm, no act of terror will go unpunished. >> a law-enforcement source says the fbi will start the

embassy in dire cairo. these are live pictures coming to us as they have gathered outside not the embassy in benghazi, this is the embassy in cairo, egypt. are tensions inflamed? there is no question. how does this end? there is no way to know. there are many questions about whether yesterday's protest were a cover, a cover for an attack timed to happen on 9/11 on u.s. soil overseas. an attack to avenge the death of the al qaeda's second in command. the top terrorist deputy died in a drone strike in pakistan way back in june. that deputy is libyan. i reported here yesterday how the current leader of al qaeda, the man who took over for usama bin laden appeared in a video urging americans to attack americans in revenge. that members of the senate intelligence committee is into possible connection. >> the coincidence of the timing is extraordinary. and in our investigation into this, we obviously need to find out if that was a link or if this was accidental. >> shepard: early signs the attack was indeed planned in advance. but it's too early to know for sure. regardless, the president announced today he has o

politicians get all their information by the mainstream media and i ask myself why did we use to have an embassy in this country why did we use to have diplomatic personnel in this country and by the way why do we have a secret service who is monitoring what is going on so i can give you a couple of examples that's what this is maybe the most well known example is the so-called massacre of houla what happened before i arrived there when. killed i don't know any more of the number i think it where one hundred eight people a lot of civilians and also children some of them and all the western governments including germany reacted very quickly by sending home the syrian ambassador and almost closing the syrian embassies without waiting for an extermination order really happened so when later on it came out and this is not a conspiracy theory it is what is and the official thing what came out later that this message or what took place was not caused by the syrian army and the syrian security forces there nothing happened usually you should say ok i made a wrong decision sorry for this please come bac

local time, the protester got close to the embassy, even if the police push back using tear gas and basically they shot even m air, but they didn't shoot at the protesters. the protester managed -- some of them managed to go inside the embassy and they put their layings around the embassy. they also -- we could see heavy smoke, heavy black smoke coming from the embassy, coming from cars that were parked inside the embassy. the tunisian police are also using hoses trying to control the situation, but they seem that they are somehow losing ground in front of the thousands of -- >> tell me a little bit about -- was the embassy empty, first of all, and has anybody been hurt or injured? >> well, i don't think the embassy is empty. we're hearing that embassy staff are inside. they're doing a lockdown inside the embassy. the embassy building itself was not attacked. i mean, we could definitely say that the offices and nothing had been destroyed, but the embassy grounds, the gardens surrounding the embassy, tunis has a big embassy, has been occupied by protesters. the police go inside the embassy pro

us. that is basic. rick unger, it is our mon yewe should be able to decide. and if they can't protect our embassy and treat us with a decency, shouldn't we cut them off? >> the issue is you can't make foreign policy in reaction to short term events. we know it is awful and i will be the first to agree those governments should have protected our embassy. it does no good to have a rahn paul reaction. >> emake >> we did it in north korea and south africa and cutting off the west bank and the gaza strip and done if with honduras in 2009 and ith the sudan. i think the muslim brotherhood is a long-term event and al-qaida influences. we don't know if our tax money is going to ours and intelligence officials tell me they would support cutting off pakistan as well and the cheap yest best way to do is it is to u.s. companies to stop doing business with pakistan. >> victoria, is there any possibility that the money is going to terrorist who are there killing our ambassadors. shouldn't we cut it off and better to be safe than sorry? >> i think no doubt the money is going to terrorist. but it is not track the

particularly on the embassy problem. people who wish usone place so it's critically important that right now if one of the governments steps up to protect our embassy and prevent this. i would like to know planning on the u.s. government. we knew 9/11 was coming and we knew about the film. outly the bucks stops with the governments and they need to step up and protect our people. >> elliott makes a great point. specific issue of safety of the embassies and the places that westerners are known to gather or associate businesses with a high western component for example are the places i would worry most. with a ripple effect. we are far enough in to this that breathlessness and con stay john from early 2011 is over at a broad scale. but at a specific level of activity, storming embassies, protesting in capital cities could pick up. >> bret: this video supposedly was the pretext. but the intelligence officials are now saying this attack in benghazi was organized and looked like al-qaeda coordinated attack with waves of attacks. is this possibl
