and the obama administration, according to the center. the obama administration is worse. >> we did look at the administration of george bush, which was widely criticized for appointing donors to these kinds of posts. and they had about the same number in four years that the obama administration has had in two years. >> reporter: and diane, according to a separate study by the american foreign service association, president obama has nominated more appointees who were political over the career diplomats than any president since the ford administration. diane? >> leading us off tonight, jake tapper at the white house. thank you, jake. >>> and, there is an outcry tonight, because of pakistan, and what that country did. pakistan, which receives billions of dollars in u.s. assistance, arrested the people in that country who helped the united states find and take down osama bin laden. word of the arrests came as some of the heroes, the american heroes of that mission, came home, and here's martha raddatz. >> reporter: the american sailors who

>> well, finally if you will, this is a moment of reckoning for the obama administration. you will remember even 2 1/2 years ago when president obama came to office he had the promise of engaging the regimes both at tehran and damascus. even as late as may 19, just about three, four weeks ago, president obama was still holding open the possibility for bashar that he could either lead syria to a reform or get out of the way. so now the decision to refer him to the international criminal court is the right decision. it's a little too late for the obama administration, but better late than never. >> you're actually in the hague right now. you've submitted to the icc evidence of crimes against humanity by the assad regime. what kind of crimes? >> well, the syrian regime have committed -- have seized cities, used the army against civilians. we have enough evidence, and we have already submitted the communication to the office of the prosecutor of the icc with enough evidence that support the claim that there are crimes against humanity committed by the regime, and the head of t

administration to the obama administration. >> there are certainly a lot of these brugzs going on right now. by many accounts there are five ongoing or taken place since obama administration came into office. it's hard to know in what we call the espionage act leaks prosecution, whether the obama administration should really be thought to be responsible for them in a strict sense, in that a lot of the matters are left over from the bush administration from the post-9/11 concern about classified information, about the threat of terrorism, and so forth. so it's not clear whether this is entirely an initiative on the part of the obama administration or if obama officials are basically acquiescing in cases that got start under the previous administration. >> suarez: drake was charged under the espionage act, the same act that auld red james and other famous spies have been charged under. but was he really more of a whistleblower than a spy? >> well, certainly he and his allies contend he was really a whistleblow blower. he was trying to alert first folks inside the government, in congress,

first as i think that the obama administration the u.s. is much more concerned about the negative effects about you know coming off of the housing bubble and all of the jobs that could be lost as a result of that sort of thought do you think they're really concerned though because it feels like the congress is just at a standstill you know and the obama administration likes to say that that's what they're worried about is job creation and we haven't really seen any action in that sense and finally you know he did a little chiding yesterday to congress and say can you guys not act like children of my children can do their homework while. you but i just don't really know if i even see the effort they're talking about. i don't see the difference of the jobs as well when you look at the stimulus package if you if you really want to think about stimulus which is really what they're talking about first it has to be jobs ok and there hasn't been the focus on jobs. so at the end of the day you know it's one thing to add stimulus to have cash for c

administration to the obama administration. >> there are certainl a lot of these brugzs going on right now. by many accounts there are five ongoing or taken place since obama administration came into office. it's hard to know in what we call the espionage act leaks prosecution, whether the obama administration should really be thought to be responsible for them in a strict sense, in that a lot of the matters are left over from the bush administration from the post-9/11 concern about classified information, about the threat of terrorism, and so forth. so it's not clear whether this is entirely an initiative on the part of the obama administration or if obama officials are basically acquiescing in cases that got start under the previous administration. >> suarez: drake was charged under the espionage act, the same act that auld red james and other famous spies have been charged under. but was he really more of a whistleblower than a spy? >> well, certainly he and his allies contend he was really a whistleblow blower. he was trying to alert first folks inside the government, in congress,

today sources inside congress and the obama administration are telling cnn president obama has decided to bring 30,000 u.s. troops home from afghanistan. he's making the announcement tomorrow night at 8:00 eastern during a speech you can see right here on cnn. 30,000 is a little under one-third of the 100,000 troops there now. but it won't happen quickly. we're told 10,000 will come out this year by the rest of the end of 2012. another source says the pentagon argued for an even smaller drawdown. but robert gates says he understands the president's decision. >> the president has to take into account on any national security issue sustainability here at home both among the public and in the congress. and it goes without saying that there are a lot of reservations in congress about the war in afghanistan and our level of commitment. there are concerns among the american people who are tired of a decade of war.

so what the obama administration wanted to do is just get this problem out of the way. this is not to say that there weren't thousands of government employees that work very hard to address this disaster because there were. but the problem, the overarching problem that the obama administration faces with this disaster is basically the more the president obama's name was linked to it the lower his poll numbers fell. and he had a lot of other things to do. he was trying to pass health care. he had to worse he was fighting, long list of stuff. he had a recalcitrant congress, and he wanted to get it out of the way. and they did that with 2 million gallons of dispersant and they did that with a long history of limiting the actual real numbers that we knew for how much oil was coming out of the well. and they did it by telling us the girl was gone before it was. the combination of the obama administration following that track and the royal industry working very hard to make us believe that this was a fluke in said that only involve one company and more convenient that it is a

. >> as of the end of 2010, that is exactly right. >> permits to drill increase in the obama administration versus the bush administration. production on the outer continental shelf also increased? >> it has pared >> thank you very much. >> we have avote call on the floor. i want to thank all the witnesses for your generosity and time. the record will remain open for an additional week to allow you to add additional information. with that, we stand adjourned. [captioning performed by national captioning institute] [captions copyright national cable satellite corp. 2011] >> we learned today that lawrence eagleburger, former secretary of state, has died. mr. eagleburger rows of the ranks of the u.s. foreign service and state department, becoming a top aide to henry kissinger during the nixon and ford administration. he was ambassador to yugoslavia for jimmy carter and served as secretary of state during the george h.w. bush administration. the cause of death was pneumonia. he was 80 years old. in this week's youtube address, president obama discusses the state of the u.s. auto industry and it

a lot of people are starting to realize that as more information comes out about the obama administration's actions as more time goes by as well now i was curious because yesterday the white house unveiled their new counterterrorism strategy and john brennan actually said that for the first time u.s. officials are now able to envision the demise of al qaeda do you think that's only possible are they getting cocky there. course they're going to talk they have no idea we know what's the worst part here is what we're seeing is this expansion in various ways it's easy to start even if we find that mr gates himself again my former boss when i was at cia was come out saying if any department defense secretary ever said we're going to go back into age or go back into the middle east he needs to have his head examined i believe that's the quote of the problems it's easy to get in it's very very very difficult to get out and sometimes it's very hard just to my eyes just how will your doing yes we are killing people here and there but again the problem that we have is we never know if we're actually

turned into cheney's that's the argument being made over how the obama administration is handling the case involving reporter james risin and his confidential source but i think that it's a signal. that only the military making use of this if you don't work to bring justice and accountability. and i have every right to know what my government's doing you want to know why i keep taxes. but i would characterize the bottom line as the care was in the. a version of american exceptionalism. you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so for like sleep you think you understand it and then he glimpse something else you hear or see some other part of it and realize everything you thought you knew you don't know i'm trying hard welcome to the big picture.

the obama administration made very clear that they are going to veto in the security council . of course to become a full members of the will of the nations so you know the trust that. is the other moment in trying to achieve peace in the region in the nordic is trying to pose. as an honest broker is there the possibility that the united states could veto the establishment of a palestinian state and still the general assembly would recognize that the recognition of the palestinian state was already announced the 1980's a bias an offer and nothing happened so this can happen again and again this will not gain anything for the palestinians a what can what it can achieve is the continuation of the illegitimate the ocean of the state of israel and this is something i think can be. void it only through a little. do you have faith that netanyahu is serious about peace i have faith in him because for the last two years when i served my country is the israeli ambassador to the united nations a saw i watch very clearly not only what is said in the the land. first speech which was two st

in the obama administration to be the honest broker. i think they still see this way just this morning we were announced then. the obama administration made it very clear that they are going to recall in the security council. of course the become a full members of the unit in the nation so you know the trust that the obama is adamant in trying to achieve peace in the region in. trying to. is an honest broker is there the possibility that the united states could veto the establishment of a palestinian state and still the general assembly would recognize as the likud mission of the palestinian state was already in nineteen eighty eight by yourself and i think opened so this can happen again and again will not gain anything to the palestinians what can. be achieved is the continuation of the illegitimate zation of the state of israel and this is something that i think can be. void it only through my little talks do you have faith that netanyahu is serious about peace i hear first from him because for the last two years when i serve my coun

and we're even concerned that that could happen under the obama administration. and, you know, just, of course, weeks before the disaster obama stood on, the president stood on, gave a press conference and said oil rigs don't usually blow up. well, and nuclear power is safe, and, you know, we can see that there's a massive disconnect, just a huge disconnect between the reality and the policy procrastinations or whatever that word is. >> prognostications. >> thank you. that's why you're a writer. [laughter] and it's really just amazing to see that gap, that -- and it's staggering. some of the other litigation that we've filed is other dispersants. we've filed, we've launched a lawsuit over the use of these dispersants that we heard so much about during the spill. the reality is the epa approved the use of these dispersants, but they don't actually test what will the dispersants themselves do to various endangered spee ice? what are the impacts of dumping millions of gallons? if any of you listened to our executive director the other day, amy goodman pointed out --

in the obama administration to be honest broker. i think they still see this way just this morning we were announced that this i believe the obama administration made it very clear that they are going to veto in the security council. of course to become a full members of the unit the nation so where you know the trust. is adamant in trying to achieve peace in the region in the they know that he's trying to perceive himself as an honest broker is there a possibility that the united states could veto the establishment of a palestinian state and still the general assembly would recognize as the recognition of the palestinian state was already announced a nineteen eighty eight by yourself and nothing happened so this can happen again and again we're not going anything to the palestinians a what can. the continuation of the village imitation of the state of israel and this is. something that i think can be avoided only through a little. do you have faith that netanyahu is serious or at least i have faith in him because for the last two y

. >> a lot of people are wondering where is the obama administration on syria. why isn't it doing what it did towards moammar gadhafi and basically say he must go? >> well, i think it's very interesting and i have some sympathy for the obama administration. i'm not usually friendly with them. when they say the arab league, for example which broke from moammar gadhafi is still in the syrian regime, i saw a placard somewhere where the syrian protesters are saying may god set free and loose the tongue of the mute out of the legal arab states. they still haven't broken with saleh. you can pardon the obama administration to say we have a mandate to intervene in libya but no mandate for syria. >> this killing of this 13-year-old boy in sir area he was tortured. you saw the pictures. mutilated. is this going to be the symbol, though, that will eventually result in his overthrow? >> as we say, may this be from the tongue to the ears of god. we don't know. we would love to see the end of this regime, all human beings. when you think that unicef is worried about children,

politics as it were well before i worked with the obama administration i do think that they are i think all this has a real point there i mean i think that the the economic system writ large in today's advanced economies and much more so here by the way than in europe. are very much tilted against the middle class probably the best way to see that is to just take a look at how the gains of growth and productivity in particular have how they have a lot of good over the past few decades way this proportionately to those at the top of the scale middle class families all over the expansion of the of the two thousand which happens to be about the last economic cycle that we have in terms of you know beginning to end. the median income the income of the class families actually was it went nowhere and the economy groovy on flummery kind of came down a sleeve in that way ever since reagan and it's been that way for decades you've got a concentration of income at the top of the scale and by the way economic concentration like that leads to i think the concentration of political power and before

they are not unpatriotic, but they want -- in the second year of the obama administration, last year, more jobs were created in the private sector than in the eight years of the

the palestinians put a lot of hope in obama in the obama administration to be the honest broker. i think they still see this way just this morning we were announced the. obama administration made it very clear that they are going to veto in the security council in the quest to become a full members of the will of the nation so i know that they trust the obama at the moment in trying to achieve peace in the region in a they know that he is trying to perceive himself as an honest broker is there the possibility that the united states could veto the establishment of a palestinian state and still the general assembly would recognize that mission of the palestinian state was already announced the 1980's. and the think different so this can happen again and again we're not getting anything to the palestinians what can what it can achieve is the continuation of the delegitimization of the state of israel and this is something that i think can be avoided only through bilateral talks do you have faith that netanyahu is serious about peace i hear first from him because for the last two yea

this is a moment of reckoning for the obama administration. you'll remember even 2 1/2 years ago when president obama came to office, he had the promise of engaging the regimes both in tehran and damascus. even as late as may 19, just about three, four weeks ago, president obama was still holding open the possibility for bashar that he could either lead syria to a reform or get out of the way. so now the decision to refer him to the international criminal court is the right decision. it's a little too late for the obama administration, but better late than never. >> you're actually in the hague right now. and you've submitted to the icc evidence of crimes against humanity by the assad regime. what kind of crimes? >> well, the syrian regime have committed -- have seized cities, used the army against civilians. we have enough evidence and we have already submitted the communication to the office of the prosecutor of the icc with enough evidence that support the claim that there are crimes against humanity committed by the regime and the head of

in the obama administration probably the honest broker. i think they still see this way just this morning we were now place i believe the obama administration made very clear that they are going to veto in the security council in the quest to become a full members of the will of the nations so you know the trust. is adamant in trying to achieve peace in the region in the they know that he's trying to kill seven self is an honest broker is there the possibility that the united states could veto the establishment of a palestinian state and still the general assembly would recognize there's the recognition of the palestinian state was already announced the nineteen eighty eight by yourself and nothing happened so this can happen again and again we're not gain anything to the palestinians hey what can what it can achieve is the continuation of the illegitimate zation of the state of israel and this is something. i think can be avoided only through political intercourse do you have faith that netanyahu is serious or at least i have faith in him

constitution only congress can declare war except the obama administration doesn't call it a war although we'd last more than three months and involves many civilian deaths earlier this month the congressman had a chance to send an even stronger message the house debated a resolution from congressman dennis kucinich that calls for an immediate end to u.s. involvement believe the majority of lawmakers again though they know that proposal nevertheless the lawmakers don't like being ignored but even those who truly want to stand up against the military actions in libya there is little they can do as one congressman said you can do resolutions until you are blue in the face but still be ignored by the white house but it seems it's not just resolutions that can be more gates also the voices of the american people the majority of whom are against us and.
