i am a sigh with george washington university. is it possible to work with the taliban and negotiate? >> you are talking about is it psychologically possible to have this? >> i guess the political issues but then understanding the psychology of the taliban and what they want and who are they as a group. are there elements of the taliban that are more cognitive reflective, if you will, than others? there could be soil to till, if you will. or are they all this monolithic entity that can only be dealt with with drone strikes? >> peace is a process. it is not one dealing. as studying what has been going on in other places and studying the peace process in other countries it is not a one-time event. when a conflict drags on this long, many different elements become part of it and invested. we see a lot of people who are involved in the drug trade that have become part of this insurgency. it begs to question whether it is the drug trade that is fueling the insurgency or the insurgency fueling the drug trade. so the question here would

"the washington post" completely declined to cover it. democracy now! and npr covered it. they were trying to push into the electoral process issues like campaign finance reform. commissioner, very progressive man, has been trying to get the mass media to pay attention to section 317 of the 1934 communications law. what does that say? it requires without exception the disclosure of all donor names to these pacs and super pacs. the fcc has been sitting on a common cause petition and other previous petitions and doing nothing. it gets no coverage by the mass media that is focusing on an ever-increasing trivial presidential race, avoiding major issues, avoiding the great issues of the distribution of power and wealth and income in our society's impact abroad, continuing to do that and not allowing the civil society to break in. that is why we call our
