the foreign surveillance issue, i hope you see that as entirely different than the domestic issue. it seems to be running amuck but in terms of us staffing the phones of angela merkel or leaders of china or france, i think we have to do it for national security. i want you to consider this. we, the united states, have gone around the world and said we need to preserve and fry and open internet. that the internet should be free from government censorship and interference, our state department officials argue that. now, imagine you re that state department official today. and you go and say that to somebody from germany, they look at you and say, wait a second, pal, you hacked in my leader s phone and now you want government out of the internet? we have created such a problem for our own position worldwide that the internet should be free of government censorship. that s a bigger problem than
murder one. shepard: i should have killed you and he went over there and then killed her and that is not premeditation? i will go to the door and take your head and bang it against the wall and that is not premeditated? randy: it was days before. he was angry then and angry when he showed up. shepard: well, you lawyered up. well done. i don t know where to stand. good grief! we are getting a better idea of the evidence officials in egypt claim they have against 19 americans including this man, they will not let him leave the country, among them this gay, the son of the transportation secretary, ray lahood working for a pro-democracy group in tie cairo. the state department received a charging document and we now know what they are accusing them of doing. reporter: difficult to say what is in the charging document
that the us state department received, 100 pages in arabic which has to be fully and carefully translated before the united states can respond. so, we are now in the process of reviewing this report and working to fully understand its implications as are the legal teams for the various affected americans, the various affected internationals and the various affected egyptians. reporter: we do know that the evidence collected again the 19 americans include maps, cash, and videos taken of churches and military facilities but it is not so much what is in the charging documents but conditions in egypt that could make the release of the workers that were harder. washington threatened to cut aid and egyptian generals who are in washington last week for regular meeting cut short their trip and went home. egypt also struggles after
weapons, as well, to hezbollah in lebanon so it is very dangerous and iran has a lot invested here and a lot of people will say that the way to stop the violence in syria, to stop president assad, is to bring down the iranian regime first because they are the ones who are really propping him up. easier said than do. this is all related and iran saying if they are attacked by israel, because of its nuclear program, then, it has the ability to hit u.s. interests anywhere in the world. the state department official today dismissed that as more empty iranian rhetoric. jake carney was equally dismissive. rest assured we are extremely confident in our military s ability to do their job and also rest assured that force protection for those americans deployed effort is our top
priority. jonathan: but these issues are related. iranian beligerence, the syrian crackdown and russia s support for both of those nations is a very serious situation developing with those throw as this unholy alliance. shepard: and in simple solutions or no good answers. jonathan: and big issues to deal with and difficult to find a solution. shepard: thank you, jonathan, chatting this up online. foxnews.com/shep. and now bringing in the former defense secretary during the clinton administration, william cohen currently the chairman and c.e.o. of the cohen business consulting firm. sir, i ve not been able to find anybody who has what sounds like a solution here. do you have any thoughts? guest: there is no one solution. what is taking place at the state department and the defense
