amount of leeway to make their case. so, i actually think it s going to be a tough call for the jim. mark, what s your call? i think what s going to happen is this judge will allow in part of the testimony. my guess is they are going to say okay, the stuff about it s a reactive crime scene or the s consistent with something that was not, probably not premeditated. i don t think i think the prosecution s got the better argument when it comes to this is in the jury s province of the ultimate issue, meaning you can t opine or you can t put an expert up who s gonna tell this jury, okay, this was reactive and therefore, it s manslaughter as opposed to it was premeditated. so i think the judge will say okay, i m going to let the expert bring in, but only go to a point and not going to be able to make conclusions az to the magic word premeditated or not. what do you make of this videotape, jeff that fox news got ahold of, charging her right
they have joined an organization that is at war with the united states and has killed thousands upon thousands of individuals, many, many of them who were americans. so i think any american who did that should know well that they, in fact, are part of an enemy against us and that the united states will do everything possible to destroy that enemy to save american lives. richard haass, you watched all that testimony yesterday, but you also read from beginning to end that white paper that was released earlier this week, or is that nbc got ahold of, and you were troubled by it, as someone who s served in the white house on foreign policy. what bothered you the most about the way it was put together? let s separate it into two sets of issues. one is the criteria for when the united states does say a drone attack and the other is the process by which we make the specific decision. the criteria are simply not sustainable. for example, there s three. the first with is that it has to be im
the guy. this is the evidence that we have. we re not sure when it s going to happen. but we believe that he s right now working on killing americans. can we we think we have probable cause. the judges are going to say yeah, kill him. let other people look at it. first, as you said, i think the administration has a disclosure problem here because i read that white paper that nbc got ahold of. i didn t see anything in it that was militarily sensitive or intelligence sensitive. it could have been, i would imagine, released weeks ago. i think the american people do have the right to know the basis which we re undertaking it. that said, i agree with donny and others that we are in a war against al qaeda. when you re in a war, you do what you have to do to pursue your war. if there has beens to be an american as was the guy in yemen a few years ago in the mix of this, then that s the way it is. i don t think you can be in a position of going to congress which some have suggested. abso
good idea. syria, for example, has been the scene of unrest since mid-march. the washington post reports the u.s. state department has secretly financed several sear yan political opposition groups since 2005. that s six years. the post reporting was based on diplomatic cables that the folks of wikileaks got ahold of. they refused to comment on the authenticity of the cables but a deputy assistant secretary of state, there s a title, says the state department does not endorse political parties or movements. baloney. if you provide aid, any kind, humanitarian, military, you do. in libya, nobody knows who we are supporting but we re supporting someone. and as tensions continue to rise in bahrain, yemen, and elsewhere, we may want to exercise caution about just who it is we are getting into bed
police officers to train for the new law. the tape that soledad o brien got ahold of. here is her report. reporter: arizona thought it found a way to address the central criticism of its new immigration law. how to catch people suspected of being in the united states illegally without engaging in racial profiling. race or ethnicity is not an issue of criminality. the solution for arizona, deputies have been watching a 90-minute training tape, reading a manual and listening as to how the law should work. deputies can t just stop someone for driving while being mexican. i think the perception is that we ll be hauling you off, deporting people. that s not the way it is. if we don t have a reason to talk to you, the questions won t be asked. reporter: but a federal judge threw that training strategy
