Charlie hebdo publishes its first issue since last weeks attacks, we look at press freedom with Reporters Without Borders. Then to nigeria. There are wildly different accounts of the numbers and youre going from 100 two 2000 and we have not been able to verify that. What is clear, one eyewitness is talking about how when he was fleeing, he was tripping on bodies the whole way. So clearly a large number of people were killed. As many as 2,000 people are feared dead in an attack by militants from boko haram in the North Eastern nigerian town of baga. All that and more, coming up. Welcome to democracy now , democracynow. Org, the war and peace report. Im amy goodman. France is deploying an unprecedented 10,000 soldiers inside its own country in the wake of last weeks deadly shootings at a Kosher Grocery store and the magazine Charlie Hebdo. The soldiers will join nearly 5,000 Police Officers mobilized to guard jewish schools, train stations and other sites. France has also announced steps to increase electronic spying. Authorities say several members of a cell suspected in the attack may still be at large. Video footage appears to show hayat boumeddiene, the partner of supermarket shooter amedy coulibaly, arriving in turkey days before the attack. Turkish Authorities Say she went to a part of syria controlled by the Islamic State. As the victims are laid to rest, the magazine Charlie Hebdo is preparing to publish its first issue since the attack on wednesday. The cover features the Prophet Muhammad holding a sign that reads, i am charlie, with the headline all is forgiven. Secretary of state john kerry has announced he will fly to paris later this week in a show of support for france. The news comes as the Obama Administration has come under fire for not sending obama or another top official to join 40 World Leaders and 1. 7 Million People at a free speech rally sunday. White House Press Secretary josh earnest acknowledged it was a desk should have sent a top official. Asked whether or not the United States shouldve sent someone with a higher profile, then the ambassador to france, and i think it is for it is that we should have sent someone with a higher profile to be there. That said, there is no doubt that the American People, and this administration, stand behind our allies in france as they face down this threat. It is unclear why attorney general eric holder, who was in paris for meetings, did not attend the rally. In germany, a record 25,000 people joined an antiislam rally in the german city of dresden. The farright group pegida has held weekly rallies against islam, but mondays was the largest to date. Some marchers carried sign that read je suis charlie, in purported solidarity with the Charlie Hebdo victims. The antiislam movement appears to be spreading after the attacks, with hundreds rallying in oslo, norway, monday and more actions planned in austria and switzerland. But across germany, an estimated 100,000 people joined counterprotests against islamophobia. And german chancellor Angela Merkel called for unity. I would like to add our former president said that islam along to germany. This is true. I shared this view. That is why were doing of we can to make integration a success. Chancellor merkel will join a unity rally organized by muslim groups to denounce terrorism. Nigeria has said the death toll from an attack by boko haram in the northeast stands at 150, including a number of militants, despite reports the toll may be far higher. The government has previously been accused of downplaying such tolls. Local Officials Say as many as 2,000 people may have been killed when boko haram attacked baga and the surrounding area. In what may be its deadliest attack to date. The Islamist Militant Group is also suspected in a pair of suicide attacks over the weekend , where explosives were strapped to young girls. Cameroon, meanwhile, says it killed 143 boko haram militants who attacked a base near the nigerian border. The Obama Administration will not force New York TimesInvestigative Reporter james risen to testify at the trial of his alleged source. Jeffrey sterling, whose trial is set to open today, is accused of giving risen secret information that revealed a botched cia plot to disrupt Irans Nuclear program. Risen had risked jail time as part of a sevenyear legal battle with the administration in a case that came to symbolize its crackdown on whistleblowers. The Obama Administration has pursued more leak cases than all its predecessors combined. Hackers claiming allegiance to the Islamic State have penetrated the social media accounts of the u. S. Militarys central command, which oversees the u. S. Strikes in iraq and syria. Central command shut down its youtube and twitter accounts after a series of posts sympathetic to isis. White House Press Secretary josh earnest downplayed comparisons between mondays hack and the earlier data breach against sony pictures, which the administration blames on north korea. I can tell you this is something were looking into an something we take seriously. However, a note of caution to folks as they are covering this story, it is a significant different between difference between what is a large data breach and the hacking of a twitter account. A new mexico prosecutor has filed murder charges against two Police Officers for the killing of a mentally ill homeless man , which ignited protests against the Albuquerque Police department. The officers, keith sandy and dominique perez, will now face a public, preliminary hearing before a judge for the killing of james boyd last march. Boyd had been confronted by police for sleeping on an unauthorized site. Police said he was armed with knives, but video from a Police Helmet camera shows boyd apparently agreeing to surrender and turning away to pick up his belongings before officers fire a flashbang grenade, release a dog on him, and open fire. At a news conference, District AttorneyKari Brandenburg said proceedings against the officers would be more transparent than the secret grand juries in other states which declined to indict the officers who killed Michael Brown and eric garner. Clocks unlike ferguson and unlike in new york city, some recent highprofile cases, we are going to know, the public will have that information. You are going to see the witnesses, hear the arguments and youll understand, hope the, perhaps why the judgment the decision that he or she made. Albuquerque police have been involved in more than 40 shootings since 2010, 27 of them fatal. Last year, a scathing Justice Department probe found most of the fatal shootings were unconstitutional. Its the first time Albuquerque Police involved in a shooting have faced murder charges. In new york city, a new report has found police have continued to use chokeholds like the one used against eric garner, even though they are banned by department policy. The report looked at 10 cases of banned chokeholds over the past five years. While a review board recommended the highest levels of punishment in nine of the cases, the most officers ever faced was a loss of vacation days. The lawmakers of new ascendant have advanced legislation to approve the Keystone Xl Oil pipeline, despite a vow by president obama to veto it. A final vote is expected on friday. Wisconsin republican Congressmember Paul Ryan has announced he will not run for president in 2016. The former Vice President ial candidate, known for promoting deep cuts in public spending says he wants to pay undivided attention to his new post as chair of the house ways and means committee. Ryans former running mate, 2012 republican president ial candidate mitt romney, has signaled he may run again and reportedly has begun contacting backers in key states. A wall street banker tapped by president obama for a top post at the Treasury Department has removed himself from the running following opposition from progressives led by massachusetts senator elizabeth warren. Warren had criticized the nomination of antonio weiss, who has spent 20 years at the Financial Firm lazard, where he worked on socalled tax inversions with Companies Like burger king which have moved overseas to dodge u. S. Taxes. More than 160,000 people had signed a petition calling for the senate to reject weiss nomination to the third highest post at treasury. After withdrawing from consideration for that post, he has taken a job as counselor to treasury secretary jack lew. And a federal judge has struck down south dakotas ban on samesex marriage. Judge Karen Schreier ruled the ban deprives samesex citizens of a fundamental right, but she placed the ruling on hold pending an appeal. Samesex marriage is currently legal in 36 states and and washington, d. C. And those are some of the headlines, this is democracy now , democracynow. Org, the war and peace report. Im amy goodman and aaron mate. Welcome to all our listeners and viewers from around the country and around the world. As we continue to cover the fallout from last weeks attacks in paris, we turn now to look at the growing field of socalled terrorism experts. With me is nbc news terrorism analyst Evan Kohlmann. That exists in print society between muslims and nonmuslims are far more severe than in the United States. Lie from paris, he is the author of the Islamic State. The landscape of jihad is an and terrorism is deeply changing and proving to be a much harder task than it used to be for the intelligence service, because it is very, very difficult now to spot and a stop the threats. Joining me now, terrorism expert Steve Emerson. When i was in brussels a year ago, when i asked the police to take me to the islamic zone or the Islamic Community area, they refused. They said, we dont go there. This goes on in belgium and sweden in the netherlands and france. It goes on in italy. He goes on throughout europe. A few of the socalled terrorism experts that have appeared on television over the past week. That last voice was Steve Emerson who made International Headlines this weekend after this appearance on Jeanine Pirros show on fox news. Developing tonight, the reports terrorist sleeper cells may have been activated in france. This as were learning new details about hundreds of no go zones across france and other countries that are offlimits to nonmuslims. Steve emerson joins us. They exist not only in france, but throughout europe. There are sort of amorphous. Theyre not contiguous, necessarily, but safe havens in places where the governments like france, britain, sweden germany they dont exercise any sovereignty. You basically have zones where sharia courts have been set up, where muslim density is very intense, worthy police togo in, and basically a separate country almost. The country within a country. It sounds like a caliphate within a particular country. Is really does sound like that. In britain, it is not just no go zones, there are cities like birmingham that are totally muslim, were nonmuslims simply dont go in. While Steve Emerson claimed birmingham was totally muslim, it is in fact a predominantly christian city. Emerson who describes himself as one of the leading authorities appeared on the bbc monday and apologized. I relied on incorrect research. It was totally responsible for me not to have that check the Information Fact checked information. It was not done out of malice, but out of total the responsible journalistic practice, which are usually and uniformly dont practice. Clocks are you aware our prime and mr. Has called you a complete idiot . Yes, im aware. What does that make you feel . Not great. Mistakes are made. While Steve Emerson is making headlines today, many questions have been raised about the entire field of terrorism experts. Another socalled expert, Evan Kohlmann has been described as the the Doogie Howser of terrorism for building a career based on essays he wrote on al qaeda as an undergrad. We are joined now by two guests who have closely analyzed this issue. Joining us from boston is Lisa Stampnitzky. She is a lecturer on social studies at Harvard University and the author of disciplining terror how experts invented terrorism. and in Rio De Janeiro is pulitzer prizewinning journalist Glenn Greenwald cofounder of the intercept and author of no place to hide Edward Snowden, the nsa, and the u. S. Surveillance state. Glenn, lets begin with you. The terror attacks, the paris attacks took place last week and the socalled terror experts are in very prominent all over the networks. Can you talk about who we are hearing from . The concept of terrorism is a very widely debated concept all over the world, and there are incredibly diverse and opinions, even about what terrorism is who it is that is perpetrating it, how it is you define and understand it, and whether or not there is even a meaningful definition of the term at all. And yet you have all of the socalled terrorism experts employed by leading American Television networks all of them, really and on whom most establishment newspapers rely who are called terrorism experts and yet are incredibly homogenous in their views because they scout the very homogenized american conception of all of those questions. It is an incredibly propagandized term and set of theories that they have. That is really what these Media Outlets are doing, there masquerading prou. S. Top again a, prou. S. Propaganda when it is anything but these incredibly ideological people very loyal to the view of the u. S. Government about very controversial questions. They said the right to express their opinions, but the pretense to expertise is incredibly fraudulent. That is why they have not just Steve Emerson, but really all of them were held up as the most prominent terrorism experts in the u. S. Have a shameful history of incredible error and all sorts of very dubious claims because theyre really just ranked propagandists. What allows them to continue her patch awaiting these myths that perpetuating these myths . What is the dynamic that allows this expert industry to keep going . There are several aspects to it. One is the u. S. Government has an interest in making people believe its very particular selfserving views of terrorism are not subjective or debatable but are in fact objective expertise. They do all sorts of things to prop these people up all start they give them contracts. They pay them lots of money to teach people inside the government about terrorism. Most disturbingly, they continuously called them experts in terrorism trials and all of these experts dutifully march forth and say whatever the government wants about the muslim defendants who are on trial and help the government obtained conviction after conviction and get a lot of money in the process. Part of it is just the role that think tanks play in washington which is to lend this kind of intellectual artifice to whatever the governments policy is or whatever the government wants. You have a lot of them who work at think tanks like brookings institute, like one who misled Media Outlets and believing for a full day and telling the world a thenders breivik attack in norway was that of a jihadist group. Even the more respectable once generally spout the conventional orthodoxy of the American Government about terrorism come a therefore, very much an interest of u. S. Government in these Media Outlets to continue to depict them not as highly opinionated just participants in debates, but actual academic experts. That is where the fraudulent aspect comes in. I want to bring in professor Lisa Stampnitzky. Your book is called disciplining terror how experts invented terrorism. what do you mean by disciplining . Disciplining terror has a dual meaning. On the one hand, refers to the attempts of states to get control over the problem of terrorism. On the other hand, it refers to the attempts to develop discipline of terrorism studies. And that problematic field is the story im telling in the book. What is your assessment of the merits of this field in terms of its level of expertise and seriousness . One of the conclusions i draw is it is a very peculiar field in t
