angeles county sheriff s department. and investigators say they are concerned for his well being. burbank police say that ivans has been a special agent with the fbi s los angeles division for the past three years, specializing in national security. about 100 fbi agents are helping to find ivans who they say is very well liked and is a good person in the community. we don t believe that there is any indication that he would be a threat to others, and we feel that he is only a threat to, potentially, himself. reporter: martha, agents say they can t get into the details of why they think ivans may be suicidal. an fbi spokesperson tells us he was under no disciplineary action at the bureau and never has been. martha: so laura, the search is taking teams of officers some pretty rugged terrain. blood hounds reportedly tracked ivans scent, in a mountain range south of the western san gabriel mountains, surrounded by homes and urban development and is pretty much a hot spot for hikers
that s the way it works. arrest march there s no doubt they re martha: there s no doubt they re going to have to formulate an aggressive response because it s going to keep coming up and we re going to hear about it in the debate as well between president obama and mitt romney. there seems to be a rallying among some romney supporters for him to go to israel over the course of this what s going to feel like a short six months i think in this election psych. they think he needs to squeeze that in and points out that the president has not visited israel in his presidency. well, for people who are deeply preoccupied with israel as an issue, i can understand why that s an idea that would tempt them. i m not sure that it wouldn t come across as sort of osten tatiously political and an effort to capitalize on the fact that and benjamin netanyahu are friends from back in the day when they worked together here when netanyahu was here. i don t really know that the reporter thing, of cou
operation, it tells them that we cannot protect them, we cannot keep their names and their involvement out of the front pages of the newspapers. so what does this do? this is a war that is different. this doesn t mean we rely on drones or satellites to give us intelligence, we need the guy on the inside, the tribal member, the family member, the person who was in the ream when they are making these making bomb plots, when they are deciding how to assemble these things and carry out these operations. if we jeopardize our ability to be in that room we jeopardize the ability to see the next plot and the next one. i have a real issue whether it s the osama bin laden raid and all the information that came out about that after the fact or it s this one. we are talking way too much and we are letting the whole world know things that really are better off for our own protection, better off kept secret. martha: it seems that there is somebody who wants to get credit for some of these things t
it s a very bizarre story. it comes down to one basic fact, if he s already married he cannot be married to this other woman legally, and that is the starting point for all of this. thanks very much you guys. bingo. take care of martha. bill: she was great as june carter cash, i mean spot on. martha: she won an oscar for that. great performance. bill: nicely done. jon scott is coming up next. jon: i think we better follow-up on that story in a few minutes the markets taking a big hit today, several factors at play, including the real possibility greece could default on its debt and that growing scandal at banking giant jpmorgan, a $2 billion mistake. as the campaigns turn sharply to the economy it s the issue voters say is most important to them. we have it all covered for you. the defense gets its shot in the john edwards star and the star witness takes the stand in the perjury trial of baseball great roger clemens. all coming up in happening now. bill: see you in ten minutes. pol
being one of them, where it would look like a natural, reasonable thing for a presidential candidate to do rather than a kind of a crass, direct attempt to capitalize on his friendship with netanyahu. it might need to be done with subtly. subtle subtlety. subtlety isn t always valuable in a campaign but it might be in it instance. martha: we remember obama s big trip overseas during his campaign and that was met with mixed reviews. well, he made that speech, you remember, in berlin in which he seemed to be running for president of the world! and the mccain people got all over that and won a whole zeroo went a whole series of news cycles ridiculing that. international celebrity is not something that helps so much when you re running for president of the united states. martha: brit hume, thank you bill: since the earth cool cooled! the united states on the hunt now for al-qaeda in yemen. it s a hot spot, that country claiming u.s. drone strikes killed 11 al-qaeda terrorists over th
