case and it is actually said to the united states to think that he can win in the united states against america on their home turf when everything is against them so that in the end if you walks in goals hold america will will become a laughing stock of the entire world not to mention that whatever little credibility they have as a nation will definitely be ruined if. well military analyst you're going to who shelf says that people involved in illegal arms deals enjoy u.s. support. for the state department right now there is nothing more important in its foreign affairs then to bring to justice the mood in the faraway thailand it is driven by obsessive desire to silence and to sentence the supposedly as that russian equivalent of the senator charles wilson who unleashed they saw a proxy war in afghanistan thirty years ago now it is a high possibility that before the week her case will be closed or resolved the truth will come out the u.s. state department is actively interfering with their. us lloyd force an operations in afghanistan providing the political cover for the real culprits w

military in iraq and afghanistan working for allies of the united states and for the united states tell us again in your opinion why do you think washington is so keen in pursuing the case could be useful to the u.s. in some way think absolutely and for several reasons the first most important thing it's a personal feature victor boot is a walking intelligence treasure trove has it phenomenal phenomenal photographic memory and there are several reasons why he's the u.s. intelligence community or so keen on getting him to the united states first they tried to recruit him the cia made several approaches to recruit refused so now the first reason it's it for intelligence purposes to recruit him because he knows all diligence ticks all of the legal and illegal arms supplies all around the world so that's. the cia first consider him as a from the positive take as a valuable asset the second problem of his memory too much from the u.s. viewpoint of personal and financial shenanigans of the clinton pair especially their fund raising campaign during the u.s. presidential a president during the

from both sides of the aisles in the united states in the us congress sent a letter to the thai government saying that victor boots release would be a threat to both thailand and the united states by the way of him selling arms to governments or organizations that would target the u.s. or thailand so there was immense pressure applied prior to his extradition what's really behind washington's vilification though is the question and there are several different analyses for this one analysis is that has come out is that boots simply knew too much and could really embarrass the united states with the information that he had you know he was involved in governments and groups and trafficking and moving goods but also arms forty seven's not only for governments all over the world but for the u.s. government for allies of the u.s. government who knows what kind of information he has that could embarrass the united states he was arrested again at the thai capital bangkok in march two thousand and eight. mile by the u.s. government using him of international arms trafficking and specifically sellin

treatment plants across the united states. today, with evolving technologies, the waste travels through multiple stages of treatment, removing tons of solids... settling out microscopic particles, and introducing bacteria that consume and decompose the toxic material. in some plants, the water is further disinfected through the use of ultraviolet light or ozonation. these plants cost millions of dollars to construct, operate, and maintain. in population centers like los angeles, the scope of the task is staggering. the hyperion wastewater treatment plant serves four million people. it processes 350 million gallons of sewage and removes 500 tons of solids daily. after treatment at hyperion, what was once raw sewage is clean enough to release into santa monica bay. other cities and towns release treated wastewater, or effluent, into local rivers, lakes, and streams. as it flows downstream, additional cities may capture it for drinking water, consume it, and treat the water again. in other words, the water coming out of a wastewa

and look at it very closely nobody in the united states nobody in the united states military that i've been able to found all the way up to the white house. they may have been some people of so harry truman was jovial when he heard about the second bomb and this that the other thing but the fact of the matter is that after the two bombs and after the continuation of. fire bombing of japan and after the soviet union entered the war against japan between the two bombings that there was a coup in japan with a. attempt by military men to topple the emperor and to continue the war so. as far as. exceeding what is necessary to win the war i think a be a very difficult case to prove that the that these bombings were the germans were not giving in doesn't mean that the united states and the allies didn't commit war crimes and as far as i know a lot of these crimes when they were caught are brought to justice by military courts but. that's why we were in agreement that there is that nuremberg was a flawed instrument it was an imperfect creation. and that however in spite of its imperfection in

states and the those two countries well i think that the united states is sort of stuck it looked at afghanistan and all of the surrounding former southern republics of the soviet union as a great pyre great piece of pie a piece of real estate that they could take and make military bases and turkmenistan kurdistan was back to stand afghanistan in other words it would be an american sphere of influence and everybody would have to go along with the new power of the united states in this region but it turned out to be a fantasy because through military occupation instead of dominating the people the united states by its mere presence with foreign occupation troops has become a catalyst and igniter of armed insurgency against the united states that can only end when the united states leaves and lets the people of these countries in this region be free to determine their own destiny free from foreign occupation thank you very much sir thank you. the law such. a. law. that every month we give you the future we help you understand how to get there and what to bring to the best in science an

the wrong time and is basically being made as scapegoats by the united states of course mr boot has received a lot of international attention following his arrest in march two thousand and eight in the thai capital bangkok and still the media today could not figure out whether mr booth is simply a good man or a bad man or what kind of a man he actually is how the woods lord of war there are over five hundred fifty million firearms in world war three if your. that's one for for every twelve people on the planet. the only question is. i don't want any other eleven and his alleged real life prototype russian businessman because it would nicknamed the merchant of death denied all accusations of arms selling and laughed off parallels. and i feel. his statement never changed even when he came from behind bars in the infamous bangkok hilton he was arrested in thailand in march two thousand and eight in a joint sting operation by local and u.s. authorities he was apprehended in the final stages of arranging the sale of millions of dollars of high powered weapons to people he believed to rep

than the iranian government although many people in the wrist and in united states talk about intelligent sanctions but there is no such a thing as as intelligent or a small sanction well we just don't know whether they will be effective or not i mean i don't think i'm not optimistic that they will persuade iran to change its pursuit of technologies that can be used in nuclear weapons but i think they can perhaps be effective in persuading iran to come back to the negotiating table it looks like iran might be ready to talk again it might be but it's not clear now the the more sanctions that have been imposed in the past few weeks the more likely it seems that iran is willing to talk. but to brings up today for the moment. back with a look at all my new stories about seven minutes from now in the meantime krynn is next with the business after a short break. i'm great for the. we've got. the biggest issues getting voice things to face with the news maker. hello and welcome to our business program good to have you with us rochelle also is due to the force and still ranging across the country

the united states. a lot of companies reported better earnings in the last month and week. still, nobody is really hiring. >> a reporter speaking to us from new york. europe's biggest insurer announced a net drop as a result of lower gains on assets in investments and large payouts in connection with natural disasters. it has gained from selling shares in the industrial bank of china. they also came in lower than expected. the company did earn over 1 billion year rose in the april through june. it confirmed it expects to hit its full-year profit target. on friday's market action, european exchanges posted gains. we are looking pretty good friday. then they fell in reaction to the unexpected weak employment data out of the united states. a summary of the trading from frankfurt. >> it did not help the german stock engine that until this friday many companies came to the market with strong earnings reports. this afternoon trading, the news from the united states that fewer jobs were created in the u.s. tha

i analogize the united states in 1910, if you invested in the united states in 1910 you would have done very well. china in 2010 is somewhere comparable-- >> rose: to where we were in 1910? >> yes. while i think the chinese has a great economy and will grow and be a large economy we still have the biggest economy in the world now and probably will for quite some time. we have the large largest r & d expenditures of any place in the world by far. >> rose: but is that changing in an exponential way in the terms of the amount of money spent, percentage, on r & d? >> we have the largest amount. obviously, other countries are yous with the capital they now have spending a larger percentage than we are but for a long time we're going to be the most creative place in the world with r & d. >> rose: what makes us the most creative place in the world? we have more scientists and people who are creative. >> we have the finest university system in the world, bar none. our private universities are the envy of the world. we have the best rule of law, best constitution-- >> rose: best transparency. >>

then to replace the second war after the taliban came the united states, because of 9/11. this country has had a series of mishaps, tragedies and challenges that even for any other country would have been unimaginable. but this is the poorest nonafrican country in the world. and it needs the outside world's help desperately. >> rose: everybody, i think you included and certainly the president said, in the end there is not a military solution to this. >> we absolutely agree on that. >> rose: and the solution to this is building up the afghan state so that they can defend themselves against taliban, and therefore the taliban don't take over and make it a haven for al qaeda or anybody else. >> absolutely correct. but with two critical points i want to underscore. number one, we cannot repeat the 1989 mistake, the catastrophic mistake that when the soviet union was through, the west turned its back, the u.s. turned its back on afghanistan which lead the pakistanis to say wait a second, we better get an insurance policy. and that insurance policy was known as the taliban. that'

here in the united states and around the world. it means journalists willing to get away from the computers and tell journalism and go into war zones and embed with the peel that live on the other side of the gun, that is the barrel of u.s. foreign policy, because it doesn't matter and i don't care how distasteful it is to see the face of war. until journalists are willing to show the american people that, these wars are going to continue. we have a responsibility in a democratic society as journalists to have a conscience. we don't just do tit for tat journalism, he said, she said journalism. there has to be heart. at the center of it has to be a twofold mission. hold those in power accountable and giving voice to the voiceless. on accountability i want to make sure there are no professional leftists here and if you are robert gibbs needs to see your drug test. i found it fascinating that the white house spokesperson lashed out against people he called the professional left for comparing some of obama's policies to that of the bus

president of the united states cannot tell your sheriff what to do the president is not the boss of your elected sheriff and the reason the sheriff is such a powerful position is because here is the only law enforcement officer in the united states or in the county that's elected by for a number of people and all power in america comes from that source we the people. because other tyrants have stolen power and it's not how the run but it's supposed to be how they run and james madison said we can safely rely on the disposition of state legislatures to erect barriers against the encroachments of the federal government so the last line of defense in making sure that happens is your county sheriff you sit on the board of a group called oath keepers yes that is a group of law enforcement officials and military service men and women that you say are now committed to upholding the oath that they have taken to defend the constitution that a novel idea we actually keep our word that is not amazing but what why why do you believe that that the constitution is being violated well because it i

the member for of 1981 i came to the united states -- november 1981 and came to the united states. i have been a resident of san francisco or the past few years. -- for the past 20 years. in my immigration practice, which i started with the help of the immigrant resource center, who was trying to help low- income immigrants adjust to life in the u.s. new life after amnesty, a lot of people were not able to immigrate because of a lack of money. still to this point, i see a lot of immigrants who want to get their work permits. i ask them how long they have been here. sometimes they have been here since the 1970's, 1980's, 1990's. a lot of them are elderly who are ready to retire. i had 165-year-old man who is alone, no family -- a 65-year- old man who is alone, no family here, but he does not have any papers to get that social security that he has contributed to for 30 years. he will be homeless after working for many years. i faced this situation with my clients a lot. i help low income people. sometimes it is very difficult.

doesn't want to be a client state for the united states and yet this is what the americans want in terms of kabul i think the karzai government is fundamentally a client regime a puppet government he can only go so far he tries the than some self from the occupation in order to have any credibility with the afghan people who are against the occupation but he can only do so much he is their puppet what are the options out there for the afghanis and for the pakistanis well i think that ultimately the only solution will be when the afghan people determine their own destiny no one else can shape the outcome for afghanistan for pakistan the people in pakistan with all of the multi-layered political trends and tendencies they too have to be able to be free to chart their own destiny without drone attacks without american intervention without the cia dictating policy to them and a congressional hearing recently at the at the house of representatives the low make or something u.s. used we killed leaks as a reference to. you know into their speeches into their information what do these lawmakers

it's that they have so the fact that this evidence has just appeared when the united states are clearly facing difficulties with the extradition process this elsley of this is leading many to wonder what kind of evidence this is what whom what kind of sources. is the thai television channel actually relying on and why this information is surfacing just now of course victor boot is waiting for a decision from the thai authorities about his extradition date the united states wanting to extradite him as quickly as possible following the decision on august twentieth allegedly an especially chartered plane traveled all the way to thailand and it is currently stationed at a u.s. air force base in the country waiting specifically to transfer mr booth back to the united states however thai authorities do say that because the united states filed new charges against the russian businessman those charges now have to be processed criminally in order for the man to be extradited the united states of course realizing that they've basically tripping up their own case are now trying to withdraw those c

return to the united states. you have to go through a waiver process and it is a very complex situation to qualify. so we have a lot of people here right now who without the 3 and 10 year bars, would be able to return to their home countries. we have not addressed that as a country. we just see the increase in number is compiling simply because we are keeping these people here. we are keeping people from returning to their home countries. no one wants to stay here and not be welcome, but we are not allowing them to return. host: dana joins us -- dan joins us from tulsa. caller: good morning. my fiancee is from mexico. it has spent 13 years. since then, she has been a model citizen, a single mother that has raised her child care. the child was not born here, a homeowner. owned her home for eight years as a single mother. and she had filed for citizenship. i am afraid she has lost in the system. you know, her english, she may not have worked on it like she should have come up -- it seems money is the key to everyth

report on the internet the documents classified as secret says on the perception of the united states as an exporter of terrorism. or mr explains. it's a very short memo from the central intelligence agency that in essence is and now is this that has been done many times over by journalists and analysts here in the united states already it talks about the impression basically the reputation the u.s. may have abroad with foreigners as acts according terrorism and it talks about cases that are that have been well documented all over the media of five pakistani american young men who traveled from northern virginia overseas to allegedly join the pakistani taliban it talks about as well the case of david healy who is a u.s. citizen who was believed to be involved in surveillance. by terror attacks in india so these are well documented cases and their impression that they've made on the international community has been analyzed many times over also in this cia document it talks about the u.s. policy on rendition is seen as too one sided or a lot of people questioning more and more what the

united states and by israel and the increased sanctions that we see that the united states is putting on is another layer of occasion in their mind that they are the target we are warning president obama to be very very careful about anything that comes out of israel as far as the they are assessment that military force needs to be used on iran. retired u.s. army colonel turned peace activist right. coming up in the program a report of what's in store next for the parasailing donkey she settles into five star luxury in the kremlin stables to forget nightmare all deal with the same that's coming up the late. being used to teach you go home for adoption treaty known as start as been stopped for now at least the u.s. senate pushed a vote to ratify the deal back to september the treaty signed by president very different protocol would see each country's nuclear arsenals gradually slashed by a third whoever it won't come into force until ratified by both sides and so far neither has done that moscow says it's ready to put the deal into effect but wants to do so at the same time as washingt

the united states was proud to be the fund's first donor and its largest donor. we remain the largest donor under president obama's request for 2011. but our most critical collaborations will be with our partner countries, and we are going to be calling on them to bring their full commitment to this effort. because after all, their contributions will determine whether we succeed with our goal of building integrated, coordinated, sustainable systems of care for more of the world's people. we need only look around the world today to see how critical country leadership is. in places where governments invest in their people's health, where civil society groups are empowered and engaged, where health is recognized as a priority in every sector and at every level of society, health improves and people thrive. consider the progress in south africa with respect to hiv/aids. this country has one of the world's highest burdens of hiv. for too long, some of south africa's leaders had a view of the epidemic that denied the link between hiv and aids. but that has now changed.

i think that the timing of the activation is regrettable from the viewpoint of the united states and its other partners who are trying to focus on applying sanctions to iran and the negotiation process to get them to resolve some of the questions that are lingering about the nuclear program there however as you mentioned before this reactor has been in progress for fifteen years and it's very hard to delay it any farther so what do you say then to people like the former u.s. ambassador to the u.n. john bolton who said the other day that israel's only got about three days to do something about this nuclear power plant and take military action what's your argument against somebody like that when he clearly sees a threat along with so many other people in the u.s. and the world sure i would say that that statement is very much out of line with the actual degree of risk that is posed by that facility. the idea that iran could take the plutonium out of the spent fuel and then fashion it into a nuclear weapon something that would take quite a long time to accomplish around does not have an

of the united states. and when i was doing my research on my dock tral dissertation, i was reading the papers and one day i came across a let tore his father written on a piece of yellow legal paper that he had scratched out a message and chief justice taft wrote back and said, son, you must use better stationary than this. and here i was in the library of congress reading their mail. but robert taft was mr. republican. he was the leader of the conservative forces in the republican party. he was a man of great integrity. even people who disagreed with him admired him. john f. kennedy, who didn't vote the way taft did, chose him for his book profiles in courage. and when he chaired the committee depicted the five most significant senators picked taft as one. he also reflects that problem that a lot of senior senators have of who want to be president of the united states that all the thing that is made them successful in the senate make them less successful as presidential candidates. and senators have to vo

the united states into. into kind of ramping up the sanctions i mean i think what they're doing is is forcing its and the u.n. to take the issue more seriously you know there are already taking a pretty seriously to impose more strict sanctions israel and or the tac iran would have to most likely fly over iraq and the united states still owns their space over iraq so that would be a huge complication in itself you would have to ask our permission have granted or do without our permission and you know there could be some pretty adverse consequence of the united states there as well. how come israel's popularity has crashed so much in the last couple of years i mean they don't see me doing anything different than they've always done but the what was it that book that jimmy carter came i came out with about comparing the wall there to the apartheid regime in south africa seem to be a turning point in public perception. what your thoughts i think the netanyahu regime has been making much more noise and taken mos

the united states government. from any dealings with the the group the pentagon actually extended his contract to two thousand and six so for two years they were operating despite the president's sanctions against any operations with a view that a boot so very close contacts with many governments of the world at some point the united states government decided that it was no longer an asset but in fact direct file charges and he was taken down and at the time. capital bangkok in a joint sting operation by u.s. anti-authority c. has then he has since been held in the infamous bangkok hilton right now he's in solitary confinement while some charges against him were being looked at first of all by the type criminal court actually ruled against the extradition the case was then moved to the thai appeals court which is said to be directly under control of the thai government which is when the united states started exerting severe pressure on the thai government in order to make it a rule in favor of the extradition of c

work in the united states? ek: when geoffrey holder called me . he flew to los angeles and he came to my house in beverly hills and asked me if i would do celine lalong in his production of "timbuktu," which is "kismet," as everyone knows. and it's the number five character. she's not number one, two, three or four. but i never worried about whether you are the lead character or not. the audience knows that. the audience always knows who is the star, and therefore i don't have any arguments with that. so when he asked me . naturally, i said, it was wonderful. so i came back to do "timbuktu. " and i was brought in on the stage in the hands of tony carroll, who is the . the opposite, or i suppose the same kind of person as schwarzenegger. they were in competition with one another at one time. and he brought me in onto the stage and i had one foot on his body like that. the other foot was in his hand. and my derriere was in his hand. (laughter) ek: i've always wanted a man like that. i haven't found one yet. but w

we have all of the island we have more of the united states but it's. really going to be as a monument to the nineteen hijackers if close to this right it would not pollute to be a monument to them and i would say i'm forty and nineteen extremists are the chip at the iceberg there is a great industry beach behind the destruction of western civilization here in the u.s. the whole country is bickering over the development of an islamic cultural center two blocks from ground zero. wherever dueling demonstrations in lower manhattan did opponents against supporters. with midterm elections approaching in november some say it's no coincidence this new york city issue has become politicized around the nation and they are in tough economic times when we're in tough economic times people turn to desperate measures to gain power a lot of politicians have demonized the muslim community and we're here to say no to we've seen it before certainly. will probably see it again unfortunately right fighting words are growing while less and less is being said about the coun

united states and by israel and the increased sanctions that we see that the united states is putting on is another their education in their mind that they are the target do you think you don't think iran has nuclear weapons at the same time the country is still fusing to fully cooperate over its nuclear program despite those latest sanctions which you were speaking about how do you think these problems should then be tackled. well it's first iran has been very forthcoming on its program say in the last year they have started cooperating on the international scene they are allowing half of their low grade uranium to be put in an international hands and turkey they're even going to be meeting next in the next month with the u.s. officials on that program you know the united states has a two thousand and seven national intelligence estimate on the whether or not. iran has nuclear weapons and from two thousand and seven the intelligence officer. joint effort said that at that time iran does not have nuclear weapons and nor did they have a program that was leading toward it now what we're

to the united states and coming into contact with the united states so consequently my puerto rican friends, and some of my irish friends, although they were more circumspect, what are you doing writing about the irish? i'm writing about the united states. the irish are more interesting. they had to put up with colonialism, just as puerto rico is a colony of the united states. i also respect the fact that they have a facility with language, which i also enjoy. consequently, i wondered why this attraction to the irish. in 2004, the university of puerto rico asked me to come there and lecture and read. i immediately called my favorite cousin, and she said, what are you doing here? i told her and i said, please come to the reading, i have a book for you. she came. she said my son is getting married tomorrow at the caribbean hilton, could you please come? and i went. i hadn't seen her in 30 years. we were kids together. and after the wedding, there was a reception and she introduced me to her daughters, very beautiful girls, then i met the last one, very beautiful, green eyes, and she said, i w

long lines of families that come from the united states. we know we see this difference along the spectrum. let me highlight a couple of points that i think make a big difference. realize we have a cohort population between 8 million and 11.5 million of individuals in the united states who are undocumented, who some say are illegal or not lawfully present. they are in a group that is cut off in part and formality from the main economy. this is unwise because immigrants, both skilled and unskilled, in this case, that 8 million to 11 million, provide the innovative engine in the economy in these relatively dark times. i'll address the issue of unemployment. but in these difficult economic times, they provide a certain component to the economy which allows us to innovate and grow at a rate that we otherwise would not. in short, immigrants of all types unaverage are net contributors to the economy, help the actual pie grow bigger, provide more of a pie to split among us all and in turn try to goose innovation in a couple of unanticipated ways.

in the united states. the view of him in port-au-prince and haiti is he's a rich american who is above corruption and can come in and help. bottom line, haiti needs leadership. as you pointed out, it needs leadership at all levels. there are entrenched elites there, there are, you know, generations of corruption and problems. we can go on and on with the difficulties haiti faces. but if they have some strong leadership, if they have commitment. wolf, more than $5 billion has been promised to haiti from countries around the world. guess how much of that money has actually been delivered so far? about 3% to 5% at the most. it's stunning that the international community which was so focused on this has not written the checks that they promised, the united states being one of those countries. colombia, australia and a few others have written checks, but haiti is still waiting. they have no money to pick up rubble, to really begin the serious work that's going to take years to take place to rebuild that country

of this new weapon the united states hacked and that was the whole idea to impress moscow with the new weapon that the united states had and wanted to moscow to know they had and want to moscow to know how powerful that weapon was but how could you get that across and should demonstrate it so demonstrating it would have to bomb a city well you couldn't bomb a russian city because you were now of russia you had a bomb in any city and you still had an enemy japan so you bomb the japanese city now dropping that bomb on tokyo would have made sense because tokyo was already destroyed in advance so if the bomb had been dropped on tokyo nobody would have noticed much difference but hiroshima was there intact the day before and was story obliterated the day after by one bomb that sort of brought the message home. a group of former intelligence and military officials from the u.s. is demanding immediate action from barack obama to prevent a war in the middle east that came israel's counting on washington to offer unconditional support for an attack on iran as early as this month it comes just d
