Humanity, why could we not bring the evidence to the court and find out who is responsible . To court and allow the world to participate in a trial, so to speak. You could have evidence presented, both sides could give their side and then a judgment could be made that would keep the u. S. Out of it, keep the u. S. Out of taking the lead. It would certainly give the president an opportunity to duck out of this red line. Do you think syria would be able to participate in that . Caller i think for the United States to respond just with weapons as the president seems determined to do, it is going to create blowback. It always happens and will probably create more terrorists than not. I think personally we are a nation of justice and a nation of laws. The moral leadership would be to go to an International Court where the whole world could view a fair trial that is carried on by people in the hague where people have no ties to syria. He could all stand back and brought toce whomever is resp
If the press were not fake and if it was honest, the press would have said what i said was very nice. Wait a minute. Im not finished. Im not finished, fake news. The press honestly is out of control. The level of dishonesty is out of control. The public doesnt believe you people anymore. Now, maybe i had something to do with that, i dont know. As you know i have a running war with the media. They are among the most dishonest human beings on earth. The media. In other words, the fake news. Any media that dislikes what hes done.

To biloxi where he starts peddling newspapers. He was a newspaper boy. An honorable way to begin. Thats how i got my start. Of. [laughter] he gets his paris job at the daily herald his first job at the daily herald down in biloxi gulfport. Just purely serendipitously, its where i got my start, okay . [laughter] he portrays himself quite openly as a very gullible reporter, and i certainly hope that when youve bought the book and youve had a chance to look at it, youll be as entertained as we were by some of his early stories of falling for ruses and having great faith that everyone was telling him the truth. As you find out later, they werent always telling the truth. Of course, he then begins to develop a reputation as a very tough, hardnosed Investigative Reporter which gets him beat up a couple of times and sends him fleeing to the atlanta constitution where he continued to get beat up. [laughter] he did some just breakthrough investigative reporting that well hear about tonight. But
And for cosponsoring it, and also the Emory University woodruff libraries, particularly the manuscript, archives and Rare Books Library which houses the papers and the wisdom of a great number of southern journalists; white, africanamerican, of all sorts. And were so pleased that five of those are Pulitzer Prize winners, and the latest among them is jack nelson. Barbara was so generous and has made jacks papers our possession now, and theres some rich, rich history in them. And i encourage everyone to go to marble and take a look at them. Were here tonight to celebrate the life, the memoir, the papers of jack nelson with some people who knew him extremely well. Jack was a man of enormous influence and consequence in the nation. The story of jack nelson, for those who dont know, is the story of news reporting in the latter half of the 20th century. If you look at his career starting off, he was born in talladega, alabama, just across the state line, moves as a child to biloxi where he s

Officials do note his release is not part of this negotiated prisoner swap, but he will be flying home with the four other americans. 14 months of intense secret negotiations are what led to today, the p
