you wonder whether that changes. the overall question o reilly races that the american people don t trust the president on security. the isis situation is amazingly complicated. in terms of the territory isis has, we have been doing a good job of rolling back that territory. and we need to do more. on domestic security we have had a problem domestic terrorists since 2001. that seems to be where the issue lies in this country. and we need to be doing more about that. you have issues like 30 people being shot in newtown. 20 kid being killed and the gun issues in this country. bill: what s hat got to do with terrorism over seas and at home. the gun violence in this country is an important issue. bill: here is what the american
your boots, you were wanded and then allowed into the event. from law enforcement talking this morning at this news conference i understand this organization that put it on spared no expense. $30,000 on security. so i m then wondering, what was the mood? were people fearful that an attack was possible? was that palpable or not at all? i m sorry? what was the mood? since they spent thousands of dollars on security was there a fear of a possible attack? the mood actually was very calm. i think we all understood what could possibly happen. i was familiar with pamela gellar s work before this. i expected protesters. i think that was the feeling throughout the room. there wasn t any kind of unease. people were calm and seemed comfortable and content with what was going on and where they were. all right. so were you taking part in any of the drawing itself? or you simply wanted to go
have on that? reporter: absolutely. washington is watching this election closely. it matters to the united states, t.j. what i can tell you, israelis are not going to the polls about iran. or about security. so, while netanyahu has spent time in washington, speaking in english, speaking to americans, on iran, on security, herzog has been speaking to israelis on domestic issues that really matter. they re going to the polls today for domestic economy. for housing prices and for cost of living. while iran is playing big overseas, i can tell you that s not what s most important here in israel. abc s molly hunter. thanks, molly. keep us posted in jerusalem. at the boston bombing trial, police officers described the night that led to the death of tamerlan tsaranev. they said tamerlan and his brother, dzhokhar, were firing at them and throwing bombs. they described seeing dzhokhar run over his brother and drag his body about 30 feet. earlier, jurors saw the boat where dzhokhar was hidi
of cia operatives in this annex in benghazi, there isn t any happening. you have a bunch of americans in the city who are out doing something, probably buying weapons. believe me it was no secret. the whole argument that the cia was being covered by the consulate doesn t hold water since they were in two different locations. how much cover does that provide to have them so separate? so i think there are a lot of issues but again, i don t think the arb tells us that much because its mandate was specifically limited to looking for responsibility within the state department. jenna: and specifically focused on security. on security, yes. jenna: not necessarily some of the policies. speaking of policy, what is the effect of this internal political debate on how our enemies perceive us? what do you think this means for our stance around the world? well, i think the failure of the administration eight months after the at attack, either to retaliate,
i think for most people, most voters who are not paying that close attention to this, the one thing they are aware of is the president s successes in this arena, namely getting osama bin laden and beginning the draw downs in iraq and afghanistan and ending those wars and making progress towards ending those wars. when compared to what is really sort of a technical argument over leaks, it doesn t really it doesn t work out in republicans favor. this is an issue where the $democrats have the upper hand. crystal, do you think that john mccain has been commissioned by romney campaign to drive hard at this issue specifically? i think he certainly feels that he is doing something that is in service of the republican party for this election campaign. i don t know if he was directly contacted by the romney campaign. but i m sure he still also sort of has his feelings hurt over 2008. as i said earlier find this gulling. the republicans were spinning this narrative early on that the presi
