have tended to at least wait and not to jump in and here we have a regime that is barely a year old. so this is tragic, because if it's going to happen, i believe once again who created order, the military. frankly they're the ones that brought democracy to egypt and they're about to intervene and do the same thing again. >> you have a problem with military aid going to -- humanitarian aid going to a regime that is so clearly anti-female? >> i think we've learned that the united states and foreign policy needs that clearly defined goals, what exactly is our national interest here and what can we do in the interest of egyptians, i think now is not the time for us to be involved in either side of this conflict in egypt. >> i agree with you from many practical reasons, it's hard to sit there and watch -- >> absolutely. >> -- gang rapes on such a massive scale. >> then again the american way can't fix it overnight. what they're dealing with over there is far different from the culture we have over here. we have a rights highway based democratic culture here. over there it's going to take

every day is a struggle to survive. a land where regime and rebels are fighting to the death. this is the story of the people who live and fight on both sides of the front line-- neighbors now divided by religion, ideology, and the river that runs between them. ahmad is 20 years old, and works in his dad's garage. nine months ago he defected from the regime police force to join the rebel free syrian army. >> (translated): i was a policeman. we were sent out to quell the protests, and some of us would open fire on demonstrators. but i used to hide. i'd throw my bullets away. here is my photo. i looked evil when i was serving the regime. i was full of hatred. now i look better. this photo was taken after i joined the free syrian army. this is the real me. the regime used to force me to shave my beard every day. when i defected, i started to grow it. i wanted to change my look while fighting with the rebels. >> (translated): he's just showing off. it's just a fashion. it's not really him. he even struggles to read the koran. i'm not happy about it. i want him to pray but he doesn

this is a regime that can bend itself for a long time they believe those will radicalize even further. so in the next chapter i talk about of the aspects of the revolution in trying to find candidates that the ideology was akin to his own its right to use other means , a sometimes violent two major somebody knew his line would be in power of whom he selected. sometimes religion or sometimes not so much. the reason is very clear if other countries create the same type of regime really have full executive power that controls the population as much as possible it would be easier to achieve unity in the continent because most of these will be in whatever position it will be. what is the threat? it is very clear. the government of venezuela established relations with iran, a hint the other countries ecuador and venezuela did exactly the same thing. so the way it is undermined we should be very much aware they are creating a major geopolitical program -- problem. this this is that the revolutionaries anti-american ends and also establishing connections with the enemies rebid a general. the

a road that serves as a crucial supply route for regime forces. here in the united states, officials reconsidered their options for how to support the rebels against syrian president bashar al-assad. >> first of all, we can't predict when assad will go. >> woodruff: at the white house today, press secretary jay carney reaffirmed the administration's position, but the syrian president is on his way out. and president obama will continue to support the opposition. >> the president's commitment will continue. he believes we need to continue to step up our assistance because of the imperative that assad not be allowed to essentially murder an entire nation. >> woodruff: talk of stepped-up assistance came after the release of a letter written by general martin dempsey, america's highest ranking military officer outlining the pentagon's options for going beyond humanitarian aid. addressed to senate armed services chair carl levin it listed five options, training, assisting and advising the opposition forces, conducted limited air and missile strikes aga

regime. that i was the first woman in the history of egypt to be elected successfully that is. the percentage of cops in the muslim brotherhood parliament now is also very small less than half a percent. one million if there's not a single coptic representative in the government of the muslim brotherhood comes. however muggeridge victory didn't last for long when mubarak's place was taken by president morsi with the parliament practically dominated by islamic parties there was no place for. the shock in what for most. there's no doubt that copts in egypt are living in fear because every day we hear some extremist announcements which are into our country as we expected that the cops just like all egyptians here woodgate their rights or at least get freedom and social justice to all of them but now they are terrified even more because they're more islamic that was. they want to make us pay the tax they want to put a tax on christianity make us where they hitch up and reduce the minimum age of m

they are not members of a theocratic regime. they're just members of the muslim brotherhood who have appointed themselves to be the defenders of religious politics in egypt. i think that also colors the situation somewhat differently. but for the moment of course it doesn't look very good. gerri: speaking of doesn't look very good, everything in a way is relative. we go from iran to afghanistan which has even more tragic narrative over the last 30 years and it really begins in many ways with those, soviet tanks rolling in to defend a regime they particularly didn't want to defend. i think that is a interesting takeaway from your recounting of sort of the sad history of coups and communist infighting that led to the soviet invasion in the first place. >> guest: that of course is a very important part of the story. you know when the british intervened in the 19th century, they intervened several times in afghanistan and you never really quite want to go into afghanistan. you always get drawn in against your will by the internal po

under 702 we have a regime involving procedures that are designed to narrow focus of the data. it to protect policy by a multi layered controls not only on what we collect that how we use what we collect based on the nature and intrusiveness of the collection, to take into account the ways that is useful to protect national security but we do not set out a set of rules and hope people will follow them. there are substantial safeguards in place that helped insure these rules are followed. the safeguards operate at several levels. the first is technological. the same technological revolution that enabled this kind of information, places relatively stringent controls on it. intelligence agencies can work with providers so that when they do provide information, the information we are allowed to acquire under the relevant order they don't provide additional information as well. we have secured databases will be stated to which only trained personnel have access. modern information security techniques allow us to create an audit trail tracking who uses these databases and also we hav
