romney was going to get it and romney was on the right track and romney had the right ideas, et cetera, et cetera. they re to be expected to be among the early changers, among the early people on the road to damascus because they ve got one foot in politics and the other in journalism. but i think jindal is interesting. i think the real fight now, chris, is not whether people are getting on the rooted. it s what they re saying on the road because they have different theories about how to go forward. one is economics, one is cultural, and one is immigration. i think there are basically three routes there. i wonder whether they re all agreeing to changes in their party philosophy that don t affect their central beliefs. let s take a look at jindal who is a cultural conservative. he s acknowledging the republicans must not be the party of 1%. quote, we ve got to make sure that we re not the party of big business, big banks, big wall street bailouts, big corporate loopholes, big anything
tribunal at the hague. the 69-year-old mladic spent last night in a jail cell in belgrade, serbia. he looked frail in court yesterday. he was reportedly unable to address the judge. his lawyers claim that he s a ruin of a man after two heart attacks and three stroke. serbia s president says he expects the ex-general to be transferred to the u.n. war tribunal in the hague in the next couple days. the next guest is the war crimes [ inaudible ] david shepard joining us live from chicago this morning. thank you for joining us. does the arrest of mladic send a message to perpetrators of genocide, say in the congo and sudan and elsewhere, that this will not be tolerated by the west and that eventually these people will come to justice? oh, i think, christine, it sends a very powerful message. but we have to be patient. many of these warlords and atrocity lords particularly in the situations in africa are not

they began their protests last week calling only for food prices to come down. that was then escalated to political change. king abdullah fired the entire cabinet. the problem is that the new prime minister is actually an old prime minister. he was prime minister a few years ago, and he was accused of helping steal the election at that time. he s an ex-general. a former ambassador to israel and turkey, a friend of the united states. and the people here are afraid that he will be just more of the same. the issue, though, is that the people for the most part do support king abdullah. there s no attempt to overthrow the king. they want real change, politically, but as you can see, less than 100 demonstrators. this is not a violent situation. very unlikely that jordan will follow the violent path of egypt. and nbc s martin fletcher just back from that protest. and author of walking israel, live for us in amen is, jordan.
