militants came from all over the world through syrian under the eyes of the syrian police who are responsible for the killing of iraqi and american forces. he trained and provided shelter and built safe havens for al qaeda to hide in. i remember one of the safe havens. the americans raided it in 2008 and captured prisoners. this was a hiding place for al qaeda on the border with iraq. it was under the control of a brother-in-law of the president. who is making the decisions in damascus right now? who is directing the syrian government policy facing this uprising? translator: the regime in syria is a totaltarian regime. there is one person who gives orders, one person who is the president. the rest of the regime is people who only obey. do they believe they will end? translator: they are trapped. they committed crimes and entered into a war of blood and are aware that they are going to pay for it. they are just buying time. fares is the second high profile sunni offi
ground. zimmerman told police he acted in self-defense. in florida, there is such a thing called stand your ground law which you heard angela corey take a question about. let s get to some analysis of this from on the record host greta van susteren. thank you for being here. the preamble took a while but we got to second degree murder, the charge in this case. a little bit of we got a lecture in what the job of a prosecutor is, and shouldn t tried in the media. i suppose we all know that and if it s helpful maybe she wanted to tell everybody that. this is predictable. murder in the second degree. prosecutors would charge the more serious offense if they can under the circumstances. this is not, she is not saying there is enough evidence she is not the jury. he has not been convicted. there is enough evidence to charge him with the second-degree murder. it may be it goes to trial and he is convict of murder in the second degree, convicted of something in a lesser degree like mansl
