this is webster's reply to payne. daniel webster is on the right, and all the characters portrayed there are from actual studies of faces that he did at the time. so it is an accurate historic document. he has also put a few people in there who were not present when webster delivered his great speech because he wanted to include them. it was painted in paris. it cost him almost two years of his work, of his life, his professional life. much like morse, he got scarcely what he hoped he would be recommend penced for it. it was something that didn't matter because he felt he had recorded something and made a contribution not just to the art of portraiture but for the history of this country. >> how long did it take you to write this? >> four years. >> where did you to the writing? >> i did a lot of the writing in martha's writing, and some in maine where we spend a good part of the year. i did some of it when we were traveling. i spent a great deal of time in washington, boston, new york, looking at paintings, looking at

for more on this we're joined live by investigative journalist webster tarpley who joins us from washington d.c. so all eyes are now on pakistan where osama bin laden was killed in reporters are suggesting that the government was sheltering the terrorist leader for years but how is this possible if the country is indeed one of the nature of victims of terrorism do you think that's really believe it will. let me say first of all what i what i have to say about bin laden is based on a five hundred page rather exhaustive book that i've written nine eleven synthetic made in usa i think this is an a completely manufactured invented story created out of whole cloth by the u.s. intelligence community primarily for the purpose of targeting pakistan and there's been a build up to it we had a very harsh statement condemning pakistan in one of the terror reports of the u.s. government we had admiral mullen visiting pakistan accusing them of being accomplices of the terrorist how commie network we then had the cia limited hangout operation known as wiki leaks targeting not really washington post puttin
