trial. i ve been a military lawyer for 33 years and members of al qaeda can be detained as long as they are a threat to the nation without a trial. he wants to fight a crime, i m fighting a war. big difference. let s turn to the nuclear talks with iran. president obama made news this week when he seemed to indicate he would be willing to lift sanctions faster than seem to have been agreed to in the framework deal instead of waiting until the iran has implemented all of the restrictions in the deal. here s what president obama had to say. our main concern here is making sure that if iran doesn t abide by its agreement, that we don t have to jump through a whole bunch of hoops in order to reinstate sanctions. senator, what do you think of that? what some people are rating
retired. i m not a military lawyer but he can be recalled to active duty. this is not a witch hunt. i don t believe that for a moment. i believe there are issues of good order and discipline. you cannot let people at a junior level despite all this great service decide they are the declassification tool. when you pledge to keep secrets you keep secrets. leah: some say the president started this whole thing by allowing people to know it was a navy seal team that executed this whole thing. leland: chris kyle is preparing for a new flound her legal battle against jesse ventura. leah: christians gathering in bethlehem despite a year of
