But first from fox, at 3 00 in new york city, bin ladens soninlaw step into a federal courthouse blocks from ground zero and pleaded not guilty to trying to kill americans. Details remain sketchy on the arrest of the former al qaeda spokesman. Us Officials Say they picked him up in jordan and that only happened after officials in turkey caught him and then released him without any charges. According to his indictment he is accused of serving alongside Osama Bin Laden and appearing on videos praising the attacks of 9 11 and threatening new assaults on america, and unlike other terrorists, accused of plotting against the United States, he appeared in front of a judge no, not Guantanamo Bay but in manhattan. We have team fox cover right now. Jonathan hunt has more on how the u. S. Got this guy into custody. First, led go to david lee miller. Where are they holding this man now . Ghaith is being held in a federal Detention Center in Lower Manhattan. And this facility connects directly to the federal courthouse so theres no problem transporting him. He goes through underground opportunity. As for his Court Appearance today, lasted a little less than 20 minutes, 10 Court Officers for security. He entered the courtroom with his hand cuffed behind his back, spoke briefly through an interpreter, and the prosecution said he has been in the United States now for exactly one week to the day, and ask for his defense team, thats going to be paid for by the very country that he wanted to destroy. The judge asked him do you have any money . He said no. At that point the judge said u. S. Taxpayers are going to pay for your defense attorney. Shepard thats how the hill works. Whats the evidence against him . We got a little glimpse into the evidence. The most intriguing thing, the prosecutor said they had a 22page post arrest statement he gave to one extent there are any admissions we dont know. The prosecution also talked about entering into evidence audio and video recordings he made. In other words, the very words that he utterred as an al qaeda spokesman, he said such things as, theres a warning to muslims, children, and u. S. Opponents not to board any aircraft and not to live in highrises. The prosecution says it will take three weeks to present their case. They also suggested the could enter into evidence, shepard, classified information. When the trial finally does get underway we could find more about the inner workings of al qaeda the next court date. Shepard how did they get him and the chairman of the house intelligence commitee says the suspect spent some time in iran, where he is said to have conducted al qaeda business. The Rogue Nuclear nation is one of just four countries United States considers state sponsors terrorism. We still have very few details what he was doing and he got into the United States with so little fanfare. Jonathan hunt is looking into all of this. What have we been able to glean or learn about his movements . Reporter not a whole lot of detail. Soleman abu ghaith was born in kuwait. In 2000 he traveled from kuwait to afghanistan. Thats where he met Osama Bin Laden. You see the two of them. Sitting together. And married one of bin ladens daughters. He was alongside bin laden in the days leading up to 9 11, and directly after. Then at some point in 2002, he was apparently smuggled from afghanistan into iran, and he spent pretty much the last decade there. We are not clear whether he was being harbored by the iranians or being detained. Shepard what about the operation to capture him . That has been going on for a very long time. U. S. Officials have been trying to track him. They were aware he was in iran. What we understand right now is last month ghaith traveled from iran to turkey. He was arrested by turkish officials in ankara, we believe. Those turkish officials did not hand him over to the u. S. Instead they decided to deport him to send him back to kuwait. The flight from turkey to kuwait had a stopover in aman, jordan, that is where u. S. Officials, with the obvious help of the jordan january authoritys, arrested him. Whatever the actual details, according to mike baker, former cia operative, this sends a very clear message. Not as if were going to get to zero sum game, and all the extremists and their mignons theyre going to just wake up one morning and say, we were mistaken and we like the exist the west and their allies. Theyre not going away. And so they have to understand, neither are we. Were not going to stop this effort to capture and put them away as they deserve. Reporter its worth pointing out in these issues very little is exactly as it seems, and there is the possibility, shep, we should point out. The turks were actually sending him back to kuwait while knowing that flight, which could have gone directly from turkey to kuwait, was going to have this stopover in jordan. Perhaps everybody was colluding but for us a obvious reasons some nations dont want to be seen helping the United States. Shepard thank you. Legal panel now. Richard roth, former federal prosecutor, douglas burns. Richard, theres a lot of people upset he is being taken to Lower Manhattan, but when we catch people, we normally arrest them and give. The a lawyer and try them. Right . Turning it into a political issue. Its new york versus guantanamo, and the bottom line is you want to nail this guy using the legal term and you want too defer other people. To nail him, if you look at the statistics, 67 cop visitations since 9 11 in the United States. And only seven in guantanamo. Two of which have been overturned. You dont want to lose this fight. The reason he is in the u. S. Is because the system is better, stronger rules of evidence. This man who was quoted as saying, the storms will not stopespecially the airplane storms on the u. S. So rope one you want him in new york. The reason why you want him in new york is if you want the world to see this guy is not going to get away with itdeter g exactly what he wassing too. Shepard its our understanding he had no operational involvement, that he wasnt a threat of that kind. Reporter thats right. The counterargument is, number one, security costs and congestion problems in Lower Manhattan, and its very something, we were looking at a statute shepard if theyre worried about congestion problems in Lower Manhattan they can into no more president s. I agreele with that. But the statute says when acts are committed elsewhere not in the United States you can try the person where first brought. They could have brought him to any court in the country, including the strict of classroom. District of columbia, and the other point is giving platform for rhetoric speeches and that militates in favor of using a military tribunal. Absolutely not. The tribunals have only been successful five times. 12 years, five times. If you want to nail this guy and send a message to the whorleddont do this to americans on american soil, and part of his prosecution is for the initial bombing of the World Trade Center. Its a very strong statement. Shepard what does he lose . What if you cant convince one juror . Thats a problem. I submit to you the federal government does not bring that case unless they know theyre going to win it, and they have a much better chance of winning that in new york than guantanamo its a much quicker system. New york, it will be over by certainly 2014. Guantanamo is a long system, draw out. The problem is a symbolic one and that is that putting the trial in a venue that is a mile away from the worth attack on u. S. Soil in u. S. History, i think thats a legitimate point to be made thats not a venue. Theres some symbolic negativity there. You did us and were going to do you in here, too. Thats right. Thats the competing argument. Shepard he is here and we wont see him because his going underneath in a year well find out what happens to him. Center john mccain will join us late are for his first appearance on televisionsons he took to the noor of the senate yesterday. Well get his continued take on the controversy trial, and we will ask hims his blasting senator rand paul and his filibuster. Mccains First Television appearance in either case. What we have here is a split in the Republican Party. Make no mistake. What the republicans are trying to do is define. Thes in a post iraq and Afghanistan War world. Trying to make it so that they can win National Elections again and theres a bat for the soul of the party. John mccain is part of the battle and well talk about it in just a few minutes. First, the Unemployment Rate hit a low we havent seen in years. And that has sent stocks to new record territory. Every day a new record. Would you look at it . That ammunition for you. If you keep hearing from everybody, everything is awful, hand them this. Because its not. Shepard big gains in the job market as wall street continues a winning streak to beat them all. A quick look at the dow, heading for its sixth straight gaining certification up 53 this day, and ready for its fourth Straight Record close. Stocks are up after the jobs report came out. It beat expectations. Shows that employerers added 236,000 jobs and the Unemployment Rate went down. This was not expected. Everybody thought it would stay at 7. 9 . It went down two clicks to the lowest level in four years. That it is partly because more than 100,000 folks gave up looking for work so theyre no longer counted. Thats always the case. And economists say the rate has to trop below that yellow line there to really consider the economy healthy. So, healthy, no. Recovering . Yes, ed henry is live at the white house. Im guessing theyre happy. They were, when you look at four years ago and the Unemployment Rate was 7point , and back then people were saying this is pretty high at 7. 7 . So its relative. This is good relatively low compared to what we have seen throughout the obama years, and josh, filling in at the podium today, made clear they think this is a sign the recovery is finally starting to take hold. If you just look at the last five months the American Economy treated 200,000 private sector jobs. So we are starting to gain traction. The question for lawmakers in washington, dc is, is Congress Going to be engaged in an effort of putting in place the kinds of policies that will support that recovery . So some good signs but even a liberal group came out today and said that the longterm unemployed is still very high, in terms of unlongterm unemployment. And also theres 20 Million People still looking for fulltime work. So theres bright spots and still a lot of people looking. Shepard what are we hearing from republicans . Theyre shifting their argument. The job picture is brighter and its interesting to see john boehner admitting this is relatively mosstive news. But the fact is unemployment is still way above the levels the Obama White House projected when the spending bill was unenacted and the federal governments ongoing spending binge has resulted in a debt that exceeds our entire economy, and this whys we have seen its going to be more so as the jobs picture gets better, republicans shifting their tact to the situation with the debt. Shepard thanks, ed. Lets break this down with charlie, Senior Correspondent for the Fox Business Network and the Fox News Channel for that matter. Good numbers. Good numbers. We should point out weve been there before. I think about years ago we had a decent print on the Unemployment Rate and the economy slipped back. We have mix edifice school policy. Raising taxes, both on people making 400,000 tuesday a year and everybody else. Payroll taxes went up. So that tracks the i will say i think this is good these are good numbers. Lets hope they keep going. This is really good for the market and a lot of people are in the market. Will the market go to 15 or 20 . This jobs report suggests it will go to 15. Heres why. Decent growth. Not great growth. Longterm Unemployment Rate still going up about that means the fed is not going raise interest rates. As long as the fed keeps printing money the market has along way to go i think the fed signaled when the unemployment hits. 6 , they reverse their current position. Thats a long way to. So if youre in the market, and average people are now get neglect market. Theyre worried, i is it going reverse, go to 15 . Better than even chance it goes to 15 and above. Shepard the biggest realworld debate in america is how you hoff forward with the debt and the deficit and spending. The history books tell us when things are recovering, the government has to spend to prop up so that the private sector can then later spend. That is what the democrats are arguing. The republicans are arguing we have to get the debt under control. Do we lean towards history as our guide or Something Else . That i dont know about. A lot of businessmen, what are they worrying about that prevents them from hiring . Theyre worry about the debt to deficit. Forget about democrats and republicans shepard but theyre to the ones that need to come to a decision. But right now were doing nothing. Were cutting the things that everyone seems to believe dont need to be cut. The pentagon having to cut the big picture is, do we spend now and wait for recovery . Or do we stop the spending as they did, say, in england and other European Countries and risk stopping this remember, youre comparing massive austerity in europe. Massive. To like a trop in the bucket here. Im not downplaying people losing their jobs. Shepard when the government stops spending, jobs get cut. If we use history as our guide or this new thing. Theyre not cutting that much and theyre spending still a lot of money. When you talk to businesses, what they worry about ills the future. They worry about higher taxes because they have to pay for the deficit, and thats one big problem, i think shepard big businesses . Everybody. Shepard the big, big, Big Companies dont pay taxes. Well, i know. Except for ge. They get away without paying taxes. Shepard is it better to fix the loophole or continue the loopholes that best interest big business. If youre going to have loopholes if you want tax reform, dont raise taxes on people. Small businesses make 400,000 a year, which i a small business. Dont raise taxes and cut loopholes. Do it at once. Lower the general shepard one part is done. So you now make the businesses pay or continue to have the loopholes . I would dish think its better to keep what we have right now. The bottom line shepard dont make the big guys pace taxes. Make the little guy paying taxes who do you think employs the little guys . The big guys. But they have to pay. Of course. Shepard but in many cases they dont. When we have to get to the former president ial candidate, yes, i paid 13 , and only got there by paying more than he had to pay. There are loopholes that everybody doesnt benefit from. I wonder if they ought to eliminate any of those. I dont know. If you want tax reform, do it right. Take down all the rights and close all the loopholes. Shepard maybe theyll come to some agreement. Did we come to an agreement . Shepard i have questions, what is the market is going to 15,000. Shepard get in now get in now charlie, groat see you, john mccain coming up in a minute. Well get into these topics with him as well. Stay around. Chances are, youre not made of money, so dont overpay for motorcycle insurance. Geico, see how much you could save. By the armful . By the barrelful . E carful . How about. By the bowlful .
