as we're trying to park by the white house there are people literally everywhere running to the whiteuse, cheering, obviously you saw, flags flying. people, you know, literally wrapped up in the american flag, climbing on light posts, trying to get a flag up. feldman and i are sitting there, thinking this is absolutely incredible. it was so neat to see people of all creeds, colors and races out there celebrating a historic moment. forget about party politics if you will for a moment and just think it was nice to see the country come together again. when we left about an hour later, we might have been in the middle of 5000 people. that's how much the crowd grew in that short period of time. again, it didn't matter we're taking pictures, they're taking pictures of us. i thought slap shot the mascot of the caps was down there, streets, all coming from the game. what are you doing here? you're running into people everywhere you look. and everybody, again, just want be to be a part of this. and the white house lights were all on when we left. it was almost like you were at a rock concert,

kennedy had on the white house. this is about an hour. >> thank you, don, so much for putting this series together, for that very nice introduction. thank you, too, to mary and felicia as well at the u.s. capitol historical society. don and i were chatting that it's especially appropriate to talk about jacqueline kennedy at a historical society such as this because it was mrs. kennedy who kicked off the movement to have historical societies for our branches of government. it was the white house that had the very first historical society founded by mrs. kennedy in 1961, and then the capitol historical society followed just one year later in 1962. and then a few years later, 1974, the supremes as we call them, the u.s. supreme court his to historical society was founded. we're dateful because these associations are helpful in keeping alive the history of these three very important branches of our government. so welcome to all of you today. i want to begin with a question, actually two questions for you. and i just spo

kennedy, that americans think that no one ever touched the white house since she left in 1963, and yet we know that everyone who moves into a new apartment or condo or house does some redecorating, so most first ladies have done some decorating. she undertook this project to restore completely the white house, take it from what she called a shabby 1950 faux colonial look, to a proper appropriate look for the age in which it was built and initially lived in, so she also established commissions and committees about the arts, antiques, about paintings in the white house, and she made sure that everything that was there as best as they coupled determine, -- could determine, they were all authentic, paintings and antiques. this is a sad day in her life. this is the red room, and the reason i show this is because this is the first room she completed in the restoration, but this was the day of her husband's funeral and insisted she met those coming from afar. she stood with her brother-in-law, senator ed war kennedy to her right and greeted everyone who paid their republics to her husband. on

we were at the white house for the rally. >> reporter: those of people gathered outside the white house even before the president made his remarks to the nation tonight. they cheered usa, sang god bless america, over joyed that osama bin laden is dead. >> usa, usa, usa, usa. >> reporter: they came to the white house full of american pride, waving flags, climbing trees, shouting into the night. wanting the president to hear them. many gathered here called the death of osama bin laden a major victory in the war against terrorism. >> i think he is hearing us inside. we've been screaming. >> sarah was in the fourth grade when the 9/11 attacks took place. she remembers it well. it was the day her father lost a good friend. >> i actually teched him, and he said you know, it doesn't bring the pain back for the family, but it is making strides for america and giving hope to the people and the families. >> reporter: many couldn't sit at home after hearing the news. even david arquette who was in the town for the white house correspondents dinner joined the celebration. >> amazing, as soon as i h

this picture of the white house fascinates me. here it is almost 2:40 in the morning and there is still a considerable crowd across from the white house. it is not as easy to see it because some of the lights have been turned off but it is thinning out a little bit according to our newsroom, the washington affiliate here it is still a remarkable gathering of people. it seemed to form within a few minutes that people started to crowd into lafayette park, the obvious place to go. i guess there were two obvious places to go in the u.s. one is right across the street from the white house because it is very hard to get anywhere near the pentagon quickly and you can't get that close any more but you can get just across the street from the white house and ground zero in new york where people had gathered. it has been a fascinating thing to watch this organically spontaneously happen. we were talking about what security measures there will be in the coming 24 to 48 hours and it is probably well to remind people who may be traveling tomorr

kennedy's restoration of the white house. and betty monkman was her name, and the curator said do you know that restoring the white house is so associated with the name of mrs. kennedy, that americans think no one has ever touched the white house since mrs. kennedy left in 963. and yet we know that everyone who moves into a new apartment or condo or house does some redecorating, so most first ladies have done some redecorating. she, though, undertook this project to restore completely the white house, take it from what she called a rather shabby 1950s, knotty fine faux colonial look to a proper, appropriate look for the age in which it was built and initially lived in. so she also established commissions and committees about the arts, about antiques, about paintings in the white house. and she made sure that everything that was there, as best she and these experts could determine, that these were all authentic; paintings, sculptures, paints, up upholstey and antiques. this is a sad day, i have to say, in mrs. kennedy's wife.

colleagues at the white house?u see camera kraus g crews getting ready for a big news maker on a sunday evening. a scramble to figure out how we are going to make it live to you tonight. there is a lot of tension in the room. a lot of people from various activities all over town to see the president make news. >> i think that is an under statement if i have ever heard one. the president is now 6 minutes late. may we assume the tardiness has something to do with giving the media a chance to get their technological act together so they can broadcast it live to the nation? >> i have seen a camera shot of the eastern hall it is not clear to me if they are fine tuning the language on a statement to the media or whether there is some tick cal aspect to it. but there's a lot of buzz here and a lot of running around trying to make it happen. we await the president. again we are hearing th that it a foreign policy relat related . when you hear a grandson and children were hit we wonder if it has to do with qaddafi's health

we're monitoring the latest at the white house. wusa9.com is your source for the latest details as they emerge on the death of bin laden. >>> to prince georges county now, council member lesli i don't know son was scheduled to plead guilty tomorrow for charges connected to a corruption operation. that plea hearing was canceled. her husband is former county executive, zach johnson. he pleaded not guilty to related charges of taking thousands of dollars in bribes from developers. >>> are you getting what you pay for? the maryland department of agriculture says probably not. in fact, in some cases they fined two dozen stores for shorting customers. the department found 22 stores, including 18 giant food stores were including the weight of packaging of meat. we will do everything to accept a number of violations. >> district leaders are working to extend unemployment benefits. introducing a bill that would extend the benefits through the end of the year beyond the 26 week maximum. 300 weekly checks could prevent people from losing thei

is the media being too tough on the white house, or has the white house, in the rollout of this complicatede, maybe undercut some of what otherwise would have been a week that was nothing but basically a victory lap saying that finally, at last, america has gotten the most wanted terrorist in the world? >> yeah. you know, i'm sympathetic to the sort of fog of war issue. you have this team of commandos that didn't immediately return to afghanistan after the mission. they had to take care of dropping the body off in the arabian sea. so i do think that's understandable. but i do think we, the media, should hold this white house to account, especially at a sensitive, historic moment like this. we have to do our jobs and recognize that, yes, these are politicians, they do want to put themselves in the most favorable possible light, and during times of war that can mean creating some sort of myth making. and i'm not saying that exactly happened here. i do think there are obviously issues here and trying to sort of transmit what happened across the world. but if you just look at the history, savan

>> norah o'donnell at the white house for us. norah, thank you so much, appreciate it. >>> residents of the abottabad, pakistan, where bin laden lived until commandos made a daring assault on the compound are expressing shock today after learning that the terror chief lived among them. they had no idea that their quiet city where thousands of pakistani soldiers are based is the hiding place for the world's most wanted man. ta zene asooen tazeen ahmad has more. >> reporter: we have been driving around and seeing check point after checkpoint, and a mile down the road is the elite military academy. it is the west point of the usa. and in that direction just half a mile is osama bin laden's house. i wandered down that way earlier today and i walked around the area. it is down a dirt track and a newly developed area and several plots around the house that are still not built on. they are half-built houses that are surrounding osama bin laden's house which stands out not just because of the size, because it is huge in the area, and the

toward the white house. it occurs to me that part of that change was for a generation of americans for whom 9/11 was a childhood nightmare. i call them kids. these are young people, maybe 20 you no. 10, 12 years old when 9/11 happened. for my young children this is something i describe to them, i don't want them to be as scared as they were then. the emotional change led to the change that you describe to our sense of personal vulnerability, security at the airports, and a search for osama bin laden, a search for justice, u.s. power around the world, not just in afghanistan, into iraq as well. afghanistan is interesting, the polling, the politics will no doubt be debated. 49% of the population disapprove of the president's handling of afghanistan. what impact will the death of osama bin laden have on all of that? >> that's right. we keep hearing especially from your perch, moderating a broadcast that you moderate. the guests that come on your show, and the people you talk to in the course of an average week

back back at the white house and our our chief white house corres correspondent chip reid. what a what are you hearing, it has been a been a few minutes since we have have spoken. fast fast breaking developments here. here. are yo are you hearing anything new? new? >> >> we of, of course, still wait, f wait, for the president to speak a speak and we are hoping will give u give us some details. he is he is supposed to come to us from t from the east room live it was was supposed to be exactly a half a half an hour ago. we we are told that in 15 minute minutes we're going to get a backgr background conference call from wh from white house officials to to give us details on this. so so we certainly expect that the the president will speak before before then. i i think the odds are he won't won't give us all the grueso gruesome details but i certain certainly think we hope we will will get a lot of details in this this conference call shortly after t after the president speaks. >> mitc >> mitchell: okay, chip reid at at the white house. we'll we'll be back to you in just a mom

the white house said the president would have a statement from the white house of national security importance. by 11:30, there was indication that the news was that osama bin laden had been captured and killed. bin laden was killed in a joint raid overnight in pakistan north of islamabad. the town is also home to the pakistani military academy. two helicopters were involved. one crashed after fire from militants. the president made the announcement late tonight at the white house. it capped the manhunt of more than a decade for the man believed to the architect of the september 11 attacks. we want to take you to al jazeera for live coverage in a simulcast. the demonstration outside the white house continues to grow with the word of bin laden's capture and killing. >> we are approaching the 10- year anniversary of september 11. there have been a lot of efforts, money, and time spent trying to track down osama bin laden. the american public was asking why they could not find this one man. the administration said it was about more than osama bin laden. they're not saying that tonight. >> we have

briana keilar at the white house for us. thank you. >>> there have been a lot of facts and fiction spread since sunday night. but one detail is a fact. the al qaeda leader's million-dollar compound was in pakistan. just half a mile from a military academy, and in a town roaming with retired ex-military officers. pakistan has been an ally in america's fight against terror, losing lives and military and police operations since 9/11. but there is a growing debate as we were just talking about as to whether pakistan authorities did or did not know bin laden was living right under their noses, in plain sight. jon stewart summed up those feels last night like only jon stewart can. and it is today's sound effect. >> the nagging question in my mind concerns pakistan. a country whose suburb of abbottabad has been home to bin laden for apparently the last six years. and you know, pakistan, of course, was last year's honored recipient of the united states $3.2 billion scholarship, awarded each year to the country that if we didn't give

outside the white house. holly morris is there live. >> reporter: i can tell you that the crowds are dwindled a bit. there is still a smattering of people out in front of the white house. this is what we saw when we just walked down there in front of the white house moments ago. a small group of people were out there. there were a couple people that were carrying american flags, parading around pennsylvania avenue. there were a group of girls posing with the washington post taking a picture to mark the moment. in fact all of the people that we talked to said it was all about being a part of the moment, like two young men who heard the news on tv and then drove all the way from maine to be here. >> summed up with the toby keith song, curse you the red, white, and blue. i was living in new jersey on september 11th. i remember exactly that day and what happened. i was in fifth grade -- sixth grade excuse me. home run. that was the first time i realized that the world wasn't as bubbly as it might have seemed. whe

>> and the white house, our chief white house correspondent waiting for developments, chuck todd. chuck, 3,000 people killed on 9/11. it has been more than 3,500 days since that attack, as americans and allies around the world have sought bin laden in search of justice, and now apparently that has come. describe what you've been able to pick up, just being in the white house on a day of secret, but a lot of activity there. >> it is, it is secret and active all at the same time. everybody trying to tell us, hint at us how big this was before, of course, we had other sources confirm what we're reporting about the death and capture of osama bin laden. we're four months short of the ten-year anniversary. and david, don't underestimate the symbolic impact of this. we heard general mccaffrey talk about how this was going to be such a huge morale boost to the troops over there fighting this near ten-year long ward, decade-long war in afghanistan. but it's also going to have a symbolic impact because the first wave of troop withdrawals out of afghanistan, and we went in there to get this

let's go to the white house. he has been speaking to american soldiers. >> we are inside of the white house where the president has just addressed the nation. people are gathering here by large numbers. this is a very large crowd. i have not seen a crowd like this since president obama was elected. it is a pretty historic event. i'm joined by -- i know that you are a marine. i watch your reaction. >> i am the co-founder of a bipartisan veterans coalition. veterans for rethinking afghanistan. i was first put on the ground in 2001. regardless of your party, today is a huge day. now it is done. the war on terror is over with. we can declare victory.

the source of the white house sent us their pictures -- people outside of the white house sent us theirne twitter pakistan was unknowingly posting about the raid. he said there was a big bang and hoped it was not the start of something nasty. she posted a simple message -- thank you. around 9:30 last night, a white house official announced the president's speech on twitter. a former pentagon official tweeted that the sullivan line was dead. news sites have seen a big spike in traffic. if you have pictures to share please send them to us. >> we will try to post some of the photos online. >>> up next -- >> you do not realize it until you see the headlines. this is something huge. >> headlines from around the world show the magnitude of bin laden's death. >> a show of navy pride in annapolis. see how they celebrated the this is the sleep numbestore, a plac% that changes lives every day. as the sleep number setting goes down, the mattress gets softer. that's nice. as the sleep number setting goes up, the bed gets firmer. it's really molding to my body. wow. they do that a lot. fourteen-hund

they would follow with the white house. here, a huge subject of discussion. and some members, one saxby chambliss, said he has seen the photos. most members i've talked to have not seen them. >> what about steny hoyer, the democratic leader? >> what in particular there? >> what has he been saying about this today? >> i don't have an answer for you on that. >> you know, i apologize. i just realized now that he said he agrees with the president and that -- at a news briefing while you were rushing over there. >> yes, they were having -- >> sorry. >> no problem. they were having a briefing on a jobs plan that democrats are trying to get some attention on. that's one thing we are seeing is the shift back to some of the issues that are the bread and butter of capitol hill. but the enormous reaction here, i've been struck by how many members of congress seem to have a different way of describing their own expertise on this when they have come out of the briefings, almost an scaexhale talking about how incredible it was to hear th

what a day from the white house speaking of.tay with us, because coming up next, i want to speak with a democratic congressman, a muslim who disagrees with the president's decision not to release osama bin laden's picture. here he is. he is standing by, live on capitol hill. and hello to you, sir. we will be speaking on the other side of the break and he will tell me why next. but what did he say? 42 wild italians. huh? it's a cruise for plus-size individuals. it's a commercial. that's all. i'm pretty sure he said the chevy cruze eco -- a commercial for eagle? eagles? no eco, eco, eco! it's "the chevy cruze eco gets up to 42 miles per gallon." who asked you?

that from the white house. what is your sbrepgs of what you just heard? >> well, director panetta appears to be saying the folks were water boarded. i'm still trying to see if he's connected the timing of the water boarding to the acquisition of the intelligence for information. >> exactly. it's possible that one of these people was water boarded. it is also possible that they gave us information either before or after having nothing to do with the water boarding or any of that kind of activity. >> absolutely. if we look at the facts we know of the case right now where khalid sheik mohammed was a mentor. this was a property jay of him. had the information come out during the water boarding, we would have captured the courier sooner. >> what do you make of peter king saying the road to osama bin laden begins with water boarding. where would he get the confidence that would allow him to say that? >> i have no idea. i was privy to the information from khalid sheik mohammed at the time. i'm not aware of any informa

here is an usher at the white house recalling eleanor racing through the white house to mustard floppingund her legs. she was on her way to numerous appointments and would jump into our wedding, and caught up to the driver, where am i going. on her way back she would get enough people to bring home to lunch. he says she sometimes invited so many that she forgot her they were. well, she was a very busy woman. of particular interest to this audience would be her interaction with capitol hill. now, of course, she operated behind the scenes as a conduit to place democratic women into positions in the roosevelt administration. she and molly put pressure on james farley to handle patrons' matters kidding jobs for these very well qualified to democratic women. she was the first president's wife to testify before congress addressing congressional committees on the plight of migrant labor and arguing the district of columbia. she was the first to hold the government of this talk appointed assistant director of the office of civil defense, serving for five months. it was a bad situation. she did n

surae chinn live, not far from the white house this morning.mes square looked like a party as well as the word spread that bin laden was killed. many were stopped in their tracks as they read the ticker reporting of bin laden's demise. thousands watched american flags and the national anthem and they sang it and they chanted u.s.a. >> we understand the celebrations, police across the nation are asking people to be slightly more vigilant this morning. >> that's right. there is raised fear that al- qaeda could secretribution for the u.s. forces taking out its leader. you'll see increased security around town today. >> jessica doyle is live at the pentagon city metro station with more on that. good morning, jess. >> good morning to you both. good morning, everybody. not far from the pentagon, commuters are starting their monday morning. they're encouraged, some even happy at the news of the death of osama bin laden, they're also taking to heart the words from the president last night that americans need to be extra vigilant that americans need to

with them a washington post and taking pictures of what happened yesterday, what happened at this white house and marking this historical moment. back to you in the studio. >> holly, thank you very much. >>> meanwhile, we are following some breaking news from prince william county, virginia. sky fox is live over a house explosion on wayne drive and triangle. look at these pictures. prince william county fire officials tell us they were called out around 8:15 this morning for a report of an explosion and fire. when they got on the scene there was no fire but a heavy smell of gas. one person in the home was injured. they are being treated right now. we don't know the extent of their injuries. once again, this is a house fire in triangle,, or house explosion in triangle virginia. we'll bring you more once it becomes available. >>> and the state of virginia passing the buck for police and other first responders. who will now have to pick up the tab. that's next. >>> and the news on the deadly string of tornadoes that ripped through the south last week. we have more ahead. don't go anywhere. it's

thank you very much, i'll see you in september. >> the white house, the stakes for the white house coulde been higher. we can all imagine what would have occurred if that helicopter went down. it couldn't be recovered and then perhaps another one did. and the mission went awry. this would have been one of those jimmy carter moments that probably would have been an irreversible damage to the president. >> you and i lived through that desert one debacle when jimmy carter tried to rescue the hostages held in teheran by iran extremists. and it was disastrous for his presidency. who knows whether that led to his loss months later to ronald reagan. it certainly tarnished him. in this instance, too, barack obama and his advisors had to know if this didn't go good, once again we'd have another democratic president who botched a rescue attempt. the beef on obama is from the left that he's -- you know, that he's a wimp when it comes to political fights. he doesn't want to really put anything on the line from the right, it's that he doesn't care about national security. that he's weak and he's inde

outside the white house as well. it also touched off a wave of worry about possible al qaeda retaliation in cities around the country, and they're on extra alert today. the president is in the east room of the white house now for a previously scheduled medal of honor ceremony. we're monitoring that room and will bring you his comments on bin laden. they are expected to top his briefing there in a moment. we know that the obama administration as reported last night, used dna testing along with other means to confirm that it was in fact osama bin laden. they do understand that the administration is now weighing on whether or not to release an image of bin laden dead. as you know, sit on his income as dr. -- after his death, he saw an image. zarqawi as well. that debate is going on. we will be checking in in a moment with our chief white house correspondent who has new information on that. but first, we turn to president obama, who is expected at the beginning of this medal of honor ceremony to once again address the de

whether it's the obama white house or the george w. bush white house when the previous administration was so willing to lie about intelligence to get us into a war in iraq. this administration obama has gone back on many of his campaign promises about closing down guantanamo there's a lot of skepticism there's no reason why anybody here in washington d.c. should take it face value what the white house says but they're saying trust us many people followed al qaida and this whole war on terrorism are not going to give them that that trust because they this administration has not proven that they deserve it so this situation with my was great for the for you you being an investigative journalist and we have you on so many times and all to talk about all sorts of issues and talk about lies coverups and other things do you think this could be a future treasure trove for the lots of investigative journalists to find out more do you think there's still yet more to emerge that we have no idea what to expect. oh there could well be i wouldn't e
