Hours to go this afternoon, and now joining us here on our set in miami is Jeremy Scahill. Here he is, his most recent book, dirty wars the world is a battlefield. Mr. Scahill, earlier you were on a panel with dan balz and george packer, and one of the questioners asked you what do you see as the difference between how the Bush Administration and the Obama Administration approach the war on terror.
