the talented bill dylan you see here today is a man making up for lost time. you see, 30 years ago right here in the brush behind this beach, a murder turned bill dylan's life into a nightmare. this is on florida's east coast. in 1981 police found the body of a 40-year-old man in the thick brush beaten to death with no other suspects, they focused on a teenager, bill dylan. >> my personal opinion is they knew i was innocent and it didn't matter to them. >> in bill dylan's case there was so much evidence that pointed away from him having committed this crime. it was just rejected by law enforcement because they had their guy and were sticking to it. >> it was convenient. >> he was convenient. >> reporter: dylan was convicted and sent here to florida's last stop. it wasn't long after that the witnesses recanted their stories. the evidence fell apart but no one listened. more than once dylan contemplated suicide. >> what got me through was that part of me that says don't let them win. if you die and kill yourself, they will win. >> reporter: on the inside he lear

>> dylan, i don't think it's significantly higher. what you're seeing with nypd in new york and other major metropolitan police forces is the standard abundance of caution. they don't have credible, specific threat informationing. they're doing what they think is in the best interest to create a sense of deterrence if in fact there's something they don't know about. al qaeda, if they had contingency plans on the shelf in the aftermath, it would be focused in the middle east and south asia. they don't have the capability to reach into the united states in a sleeper cell format or from a strategic reach in from the middle east. so i think the threat level is quite low right now, but the mid to long term could be different. >> let's address the mid to long term. how does bin laden play out in your estimation as a martyr? >> to your first question, we are safer today because of bin laden's death. al qaeda central is going to try and respond. they want to avenge bin laden with some type of attack against the united states. they don't have

i'm dylan ratigan a rainy wednesday here in new york. some political storm clouds over the white house today, which this afternoon announced they will not be releasing a photo of osama bin laden's body. take a listen to the press secretary, jay carney, quoting our president. >> it is important for us to make sure that very graphic photos of somebody who was shot in the head are not floating around as an incitement to additional violence or as a propaganda tool. that's not who we are. we don't trot out this stuff as trophies. >> security preparations also under way for the president's visit to ground zero tomorrow afternoon, without the places were all of this began, also head here to new york riding a so-called bin laden bump. those in his job approval numbers. the latest "new york times" cbs news poll has it 57% 11 points higher than last month. these type of event-driven bump does not have much in the way of staying power. after the capture of saddam hussein, george bush saw an 8-point spike that lasted a month. account president turn

so what are we to make of bob dylan at 70? >> wow. [ music ] ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, [ music ] >> right now the heartland of this nation is taking another tornado beating. a series of powerful storms are rolling through oklahoma city and its suburbs. at least four people have been killed there. three children are critically injured. take a look at this video another oklahoma city. you can see the twister spiral there on to the ground as it swirls debris in its wake. the tornado slammed into this semi ripping it apart along i- 40. very few pieces of that truck left. according to one of the local t.v. stations there the driver survived and has only minor injuries. the people living nearby were shocked at the power of this storm. >> i was expecting trees gone, maybe a roof. but i mean it's just totally gone. and the house here, we had three-car garage, two stories garage apartment. silo, another house, my wife's car, new car was in the garage. it's in the tree. >> look at these trees behind him. the national weather service says at

>> well, dylan, thank you for having me on the program. the central argument in recognizing this is that the war on terror that we started in 2001 was a war against people that were trying to attack us here in the united states. that is al qaeda. that is al qaeda and its families. that has nothing to do with afghanistan. if you look at what's taking place in afghanistan, we have got a corrupt government that's shaking hundreds of billions of dollar away from the american people, and there is nothing to fix that unless we stop pumping money into afghanistan and to make an appropriate step to bring our troops home. the other thing about this is we need to train the afghan army so we can leave -- we can do a lot with a lot less. we can leave about 17 in my opinion 17 to 19,000 troops to train the afghan army, and we can use precision, international and legal counterterrorist efforts to root out al qaeda and its families, like we saw in pakistan. if we don't use this opportunity, in my opinion, to begin withdrawal of our troops, then we'll be

i am dylan ratigan and hardball is up now. >>> let's play hardball. >> good evening, i'm chris matthe matthews. president obama showed us he's as cool in the terrorist hunt as president he was delegate hunt in 2008, by getting osama bin laden. he has transformed his image and perhaps his presidency. today in fort campbell, kentucky, he met the men that carried out the mission. >> thanks to the incredible skill and courage of countless individuals, intelligence, military, over many years, the terrorist leader who struck our nation on 9/11 will never threaten america again. >> president obama 2.0 at the top of the show tonight. plus the cloak and dagger story itself. new details emerging about how we got bin laden. today we learned the cia tracked him for months from a rented safe house in his neighborhood before the s.e.a.l.s went in. about the s.e.a.l.s they are the elite of the elite but what does it take to become a s.e.a.l. we'll meet two of them tonight. that's going to be exciting for me. news about bin laden, the big story may have been this week republicans running away from th

dylan ratigan, host of msnbc's "the dylan ratigan show" and sharon epperson is nbc's personal financial correspondent. let's go to skype to catherine in indiana. good morning. what's your question? >> good morning. last week it was mentioned that employers are runningi incredit checks on potential employees. i was wondering, do you know what they are looking for? i have been unemployed since 2009 and had to rely on credit cards to get by. so i know my credit rating isn't where it should be. >> that's a good question. we got a lot of response to that thought that employers are checking credit history. about 16% of them are. they are not seeing your score. they are seeing your credit report. the thing that worries them is if you haven't paid your bills. they're thinking on the job you have to be responsible potentially for some of their money and they don't want that lack of responsibility to creep in on the job. pull your own credit report at annualcreditreport.com. if you see anything that has the potential to worry an employer you may want to warn them of it, but they have to tell you

there's one potential curveball here i might mention, dylan, that's starting to show up in the press in the middle east. in that part of the world conspiracy theories are the rule not the exception. but there are a number of suggestion, since no one can believe the pakistanis did not know bin laden was there. it's less than a mile from the military academy, a suburb of the capital. a big house with huge walls around it. it just seems very difficult to believe that someone senior in pakistani intelligence from the military and government didn't know that he was there. that spriggs has led in a number of interesting things being written in the last day or so to the thought that perhaps the pakistanis and we worked on this together to some extent, they gave up bin laden and we made some kind of accommodation with them. i don't have any idea whether that's true or not. this is a part of the world where there's deals win deals win deals. wheels, double crosses. not a straightforward part of the world. we should keep an eye and ear cobbed to pick up signals of anything like that taking pla

their car flew maybe 250, 300 feet from where they got pulled into the grocery store at dylans over the railroad tracks and then where we found the car to 250 feet and we still don't know who the good samaritan was that took jonathan in the van to freeman's or if they helped lance but we can't say enough because without them taking jonathan, we wouldn't have that lead, we wouldn't have been able to find the car. we searched an eight block by 25 block and you can see the devastation here. it's unlike anything i've ever seen. you see it on tv all the time. i can't say enough about all the families that are out here that aren't getting the opportunity i am getting now. i feel for them. i'm just lucky you guys got me right here. >> mike, we're going to do what we can do. >> thank you. >> we know -- last question, we know they asked you to go in and give a dna sample today. any idea why that might be? what they're going to be doing with these samples? is it good news? how do you interpret it? where do we go from here? >> the way i took it is, you know, state is okay, you know, but with all t

tradition of wall street executives going to washington and not just goldman sachs, people with names like dylan and harem and bush has been going from wall street to washington for a long time. at goldman sachs, there's a slightly different twist on it. why it's been more prevalent with them. first of all, you are right. sidney weinberg had the long history of being advising presidents and then taking leave of absence from goldman sachs during world war ii to lead up the war powers board and be very important person in sort of taking the u.s.' industrial power and turning it towards the war effort. and finding people to fill those jobs. he became known as the body snatcher because he would go to all of the clients and insist they come to washington to help with the war effort. that had been going on a long time. even before sidney weinberg, the founder of the firm had an important and prominent role in the creation of the federal reserve system. the federal reserve banking system. when after the panic of 1907, they decided to create the federal reserve system, the couple of cabinet secretaries
