david brodeur wrote a piece in the washington post. the donors, the governors, members of congress that run the party, are they going to support her? is this a reality as far as the 2012 race or is she something that is from a spectacle. two different things going on we have to ask ourselves who is who. as you point out, the polls show that more than 70% think she is not qualified when you look at all the polling. thank you, january on it march tip. thank you, andrea. putting suspected terrorists on trial should they be tried in civilian courts or military tie brunls. jan harman, chairman of the house sub committee joining us. send us your thoughts, find me on twitter at mitchellreports. small business owners have a lot of questions. can paperless billing get me paid faster? how can i keep my best employees? how can i bring down my insurance costs? that s why we re building a community called openforum.com where owners can swap ideas and ask questions. will tweeting get me more
on the other hand, they re probably worried about how it will look in the public eye. oh, are we backing down because well, he especially if a cou of them cooperate and say a couple don t, then it becomes even more complicated. but we won t get too far ahead of ourselves. we ll wait and see what happens. they re just liky that you are not the prosecutor in this case because otherwise watch out. i haven t done that for a long time. i m on the other side. thanks. another storm hitting the east coast today. this time down south. we re not just talking rain. we ll talk about off the charts. a man with a baseball bat attacked a bunch of unsuspecting flat screen televisions. was he mad at the tvs or the programming on them? as small businesses are busy reinventing the economy, small business owners have a lot of questions. can paperless billing get me paid faster? how can i keep my best employees? how can i bring down my insurance costs? that s why we re building a community called
trials, it s really shifted, now 55% against. yes. it was just the other way so clearly this argument is not your argument is not taking hold, because perhaps it s become conflated with the whole question of whether or not the christmas bomber should have been mirandized. it seems to me the republicans are really smelling blood here. yeah, well it seems so. i agree. but they don t have the facts on their side. mirandize is not a dirty word. let s understand that abdulmutallab gave us actionable intelligence when he was arrested by the fbi, and the fbi did consult with our intelligence community in determining what to do. after he was read his rights, i believe he was quiet for awhile but he is now talking to us again. we are getting actionable intelligence from him. we have stood up the so-called mobile interrogation teams, and i think the leaders of the intelligence committees in congress are well aware that those teams are operational, and
careful op-ed in the newspapers today says is no longer has to be the procedure since we now have more developed military commissions, nonetheless it s the procedure the bush administration followed and it was followed with consultation with the intelligence community and i don t believe there was an intelligence gap in this case. i believe that this suspect has given us operational intelligence. remember he s just a 23-year-old kid. he s not one of the masterminds of plots against us, but in terms of who he trained with and so forth, i can t discuss that, but we are focussed on the yemen target, more than we were, i do think the way we handled the christmas day bomber was a failure in terms of our system working to block him from getting on the plane. we are learning lessons, but my point is, federal courts are a good way to convict terrorists when we have overwhelming cases as we do here, if we re going to fully develop military commissions, so be it. congress will have to, i think,
