From vermont. Thank you very much for joining us. Talk about eric holder and the impact of his resigning and what you could expect from confirmation hearings. I talked with the attorney general holder today about this. I also talked to the white house and hoped they would be able to decide the nomination soon. I remember the day he was sworn in and the cheer s ths that ech. I have been here throughout a lot of attorneys general. Nobody has done it better than he has. Senator, what about the challenges and the incompletes lets say. Guantanamo still open, Khalid Shaikh mohammed sheik mohamed not on trial because it could not take place. Guantanamo should be closed by now except for the legislation blocking it. It is ridiculous that we are spending millions a person down there. And accomplishing nothing for our safety. The finest Justice System in the world and we should not act like we are afraid of these people. We bring them before our courts. Just as we did with abu ghraib. The son in

C. s dulles, chicagos a pair, new jerseys newark and atlantas hartsfield jackson. For nbc news, tom, before this was 95 of the persons coming from the countries, now its intended to be 100 .

Hundreds of federal buildings and courthouses across the country are stepping up security. Homeland security secretary jake johnson says the move is in response to the continued calls for attacks again. A heightened vigilance in the protection of u. S. Government installations and our personnel. Nbc news justice correspondent Pete Williams with all the details. Pete, whats the latest here . And theres not a specific threat theyre tracking, correct . Right. Thats what they say. This is, you know, what is publicly known what has led to this decision. It was just a week ago of the shooting at the Canadian Parliament building and the killing of a soldier at the Canadian National war memorial. That followed the attack on another soldier in canada. Continual stream of intelligence Officials Say about isis calling for attacks on American Government officials, Law Enforcement officers, public buildings here in washington.

Of this nation. And good day. Im Andrea Mitchell in new york. Dr. Craig spencer is on his way home, ebolafree today. My recovery from ebola speaks to the effectiveness of the protocols in place for health staff returning for west africa. I am a living example of how the protocols work and how Early Detection is critical for surviving ebola and ensuring it is not transmitted to others.

I hope that one day we as an American Culture can learn to show compassion instead.

Welcome, mr. Secretary. Good to see you. Lets pick up on that. The withdrawal from iraq, should we have left troops behind . I think we would be in a much better position if we had left a presence in iraq of approximately 8,000 to 10,000. We developed a plan to do that and the president supported that. The problem we ran into is a that kept rejecting developing the sofa agreement and the status of forces agreement that we needed
