>> Lehrer: AND STILL TO COMON THE NEWSHOUR NIGHT: THE PALIN BOOK; THE AORNEY GENERAL IN THE HOT ST; A GOOGLE BOOK; AND A YOUNG NATION'S STRULES. AT FOLLOWS GWEN IFILL'S LOO AT CORRUPTION IAFGHANISTAN.

>> Ifill: ASRESIDENT OBAMA APPROACHES A DECISIOABOUT THE U.S. LE IN AFGHANISTAN, ONE QUESTION LOOMS. AMID THE REPORTS OF CONTINUNG CORRUPTION, WH KIND OF PARTNER LL HAMID KARZAI BE? JOINING USO TACKLE THAT ESTION ARE MARIAM NAWABI, AN ATTORNEY AND NATIVOF AFGHANISTANHO CAME TO THE U.S. IN 1979. AND ALEXANDER THI, THE DIRECTOR R AFGHANISTAN AND PAKISTAN AT THE ITED STATES INSTUTE OF PEACE, A NPARTISAN GROUP THAT PROMOT CONFLICT RESOLION. HE RETURN FROM AFGHANISTAN LAST WEEK. SIE YOUR RETURN FROM AFGHANISTAN LAST WEEK, MR. THIER LET TALK ABOUT THIS. HOREAL ARE THESEALLEGATIONS OF CORRUPTION?

>> THEY'RE VERY REAL. CORRUPTION GOES OMTHE HIGHEST TO THE LOWEST LEVELS IN AFGHISTAN. YOU HEAR ABOUT PROBLEMS IN CORRUPTION E STREET LEVEL WH PEOPLE TRYING TO GET DRIVER'S LICENSES, GOING INTO COURT, BEING ASKED FOR BBES, GOING THROUGH ROADBLOCKS AND THINGS LIKE THAT, BU IT ALSO GOES THE VERY HHEST LEVELS OF THE GOVERNNT--.

>> Ifill: KE THE $30 MILLI BRIBE WE READ INTO IN THE PAPER TODAY.

>> THAT'S RIGHT. ERE WAS ALSO A STORY GOING AUND KABUL THAT A MINISTE WAS GIVEN MONEY TO SEND PILGRIMSTO MECCA. YOU ALSO HAVE REPORTS ABOUT OTHERFFICIALS AND BROTHERS OF KEY OFFICIALS I AFGHANISTAN WHO HAVE BEEN SKIMMING OFF THEOP. SO 'S REALLY A PROBLE THAT GOES FROM TOP TO BOTTOMN AFGHANISTAN, AND WE NEED TO DEAL WITH IT FROM BOTH ENDS.

>> Ifill: MARIAM NAWABI NOW THERE WAS A REPO OUT THAT SAID AFGHANISTAN IS NOW THE SECOND MOST CRUPT COUNTRY IN THE WRORLD AFTER SOMALIA WHICH DOESN'T HAVE A WORKINGENTRAL GOVERNMENT. W REAL IS THAT TO YOU. AND WHO, IF THAT'S TRUE, WHO IS BEHIND THIS?

>> THAT IS AN INDICATOR AFTER ESTAISHMENTS ARE DONE ON T GROUND. IT IS A REAL IICATOR. THE PROBLEM HAS GROWN ACTUALLY SINCE 2001, BUT PAR OF THAT HAS BEENTHE LARGE INFUX OF FOREIGN AID DOLLARS THAT HAVEOME INTO AFGHANIAN, SOMETIMES WITHOUT THE AOUNTABILITY THAT NDED TO MONITOR THE AI SO PA PROBLEM IS THE CONTRACTING SYSTEM NORS HAVE, AND WE HAVE THEARCOTICS TRA GROWING SINCE 2001. THESE ARE BOTH ADDING TO THE CORRUPTI PRLEM.

>> Ill: IS IT THEDONOR MONEY AT TAPS INTO NATURAL RESOURCES WE'RE TALKING AUT? WE'RE TALKING ABOUT COPPER MIS AND POPPY PRODUCTION. IS THATHAT IT IS, OR DOES THIS MINDSET FOR CORRUPTI, I SUPPOSE, EXIST POR TO THIS DONOR MONEY? >>FGHANISTAN, IF WE LOOK BACK TO THE 60s AND 70s, THE CENTRAL GERNMENT EXISTED, AND IT DI'T HAVE THESE PROBLEMS OF CORRUPTION BACKHEN. THERE WAA SYSTEM OFAMILY HONOR AND NAME, AND AFTER 30 YEARS OF W, YOU HAVE THE LEGAL INSTITUTIONS AT WEREESTROYED FOR THE MOST PART, AND THERE IS A SENS OF SURVIL OF THE FITTEST. ERE'S A WARFARE TYPE OF ENVIRONMENT A PEOPLE DID WHAT THEY COULD TO SURVIVE. T NOW WITH INFLUX OF LARGE AMOUNTS OF NEY THAT DON'T GO TO THOSE INVESTMENT POJECTS-- THOSE ARE FM PRIVATE COMPANIS-- THEY'RE FOR THE CONTRACTING. FROM THE MONEY WRE SPENDING TO TRYO PROVIDE SECURITY, SOME OF THAT IS ENNG UP IN THE WRONG HANDS.

>> Ifill:R. THIER IF THIS OES ALL THE WAY TO THE T, THERE IS RUMORS OFHE KARAI FAILY BEING INVOLVED IN SOMF THIS. HOW LEGIMATE A PARTNER HAMID KARZAI R THE U.S.?

>> IHINK YOU HAVE TO LOOK KARZAI TOUGH TWO LENSES. ONE HAND, WE'VE HAD SULD TREMENDOUS SUCCESS WITH THE AFGHAN GOVERNMENTVER THE LAST FEW YEARS. YOUPSCi%ís HAVE PROGRAMIKE NATIV SOLIDARITYROGRAM, NATIONAL HEALTH PROAM, THAT TAKE DONO FUNDS, ARE MANAGED BY T AFGHAN GOVERNMENT AND HAVE DELIVERE SERVICES EFFECTIVELY OFTEN MORE EFFEIVELY THAN WE CAN DO OURSELS. THE OTHER PART OFTHAT STORY- IF TT'S THE GOOD KARZAI, THERE'S THE BAD KARZAI. THE KARZAI WH BRINGS WARLOR INTO HIS GOVERNMENT. HEROUGHT INOTHERS TO SUPPORT HISOTE. AND SO I DOHINK THAT WE CAN WORK WITH KARZAI,UT THE CENTR DEMAND IN WRKING WITH RZAI HAS TO BE THAT THE LEADERSHIP, NOONLY THAT HE SHOW, T THAT THE PEOE HE APPOINT, TO KEY MINIRIES AND KEY GOVERNORSHI HAVE TO BE CLEAN BEAUSE WHEN THAT HAPPENS, IT LTIPLIES THE NUMBER OF ACTORS THAT WE CAN WORK WTH SUCCESSLLY. WE DON'T WANT T PUT ALL OUR EG INTO THE KARZAI BASKET WH HE WAS GOOD TWASN'T A GOOD IDEA. AND NOW THAT 'VE SEEN HIMAD, IT'S NOT A GOOD IDEA. SO BY APPOINTING NEW LEADERS,T ALLOWS US TO WORK WITH VARIETY OF PEOPLE AND TO PROVE THE CHANCES THAT WEL HAVE AN EFFECT THAT ULTIMAELY TURNS OUT WELL FOR THE AFGHAN PEOPLE.

>> Ifill: MARIAM NAWABI, TO WHAT EXTT IS ONE MAS PATRONAGE ANOER MAN'SORRUPTION? WE. I THINK WE HAVE TOKEEP IN MIND AT THERE ARE DIFFERENT LEVELS CORRUPTION. IF WE LK AT THE LOWER E WHERE SOMEONE IS TAKING SOME BRIBE HERE BECAU THE PRICES IN KAL HAVEKYROCKETED, JUST TO SURVIVE, THAT'S ONE EMENT OF THE PROBLEM. BUT AT THE TOP LEVEL WHERE PEOP DON'T NEED TO SURVIVE AND THERE DOING IT JUST TO LINE THR OWN POCKETS, DEFINITELY, THE HAS TO BE STRONG ACTION TAKEN. ND OF COURSE, AFGHANISTAN HAS ITS SOVEREIGNTYUT WHERE WE VE TROOPS AND MONEY IN THE COUNTRY, I TNK THAT WE C USE THAT AS LEVERAGE TO AS FOR ENCHMARKS TO BE ACHIED IN ORDER TO CONTINUE TOSSIST THE COUNTRY. SO I THINK THERE ARE ASSTANCE PROGRAMS FOR RULE OFAW AND ALSO ACCOUNTABILITY FOR H WE ARE SPENDINGUR MONEY. WE HAVE TO KE IN MIND, MT OF THE FUNDS TH GO TO AFANISTAN ARE NOT DIRECTED T THE AFGHAN GOVERNMEN THEY'RE SPENT B U.S. CONTRACTORS. THERE'S THAT PROBM WITH HOW AREE SPENDING OUR MONEYND HOW CAN THAT BE IMPROV TO REDUCE CORRUPTION? >>fill: IFHAT'S TRUE, I WODER HOW DO YOU IPOSE BENCHMARKS WH THE SOURCE OF NEY IS COMING FROM SO MA DIFFERENT PLACES, THE DELATE POLICAL SWAUGZ WE SEE HILLARY CLINTON ATMPTING TO MANAGE NOW ON THE GROUND. HOW MUCH SHOULD THE UNIT STATES AND SHOULD PRESIDENT OBAMA TIE HIS DECISION ABUT OOPS TO THE ELIMINION OR BENCHMARKSBOUT CORRUPTION?

>> I DON'THINKHEECISION ABOUT TROOPS IS ABOUT CORRUPTION. I THINK THAT THE MOST IMPORTT THING ABOUTTHE PRESIDENT'S DECISION ISOT ABOUT TH NUMBER OF TROOPS. IT'S ABOUT THE HER TYPESOF ASSISTANCE THIS WE'RE GOI TO PROVIDE TOFGHANISTAN, THE CIVILIASIDE OF THE EQUATION.

>> Ifill: FOR INSTANC

>> WL IT ULD SOMETHING NEW FOR T YOU UTS GOVERNMENTTO DEMAND THE LEEL OF ACCOUNTABILITY OF T AFGHAN GOVERNMENT THAT WE' BEEN DISCUSSING NOW. IT'S SIMPLY NOT SOMETHING TH HAVE BEEN DOING FOR THE LAS EIGHT YEARS. GETTING SERIOUS AUT COUNTER-CORRUION-- WE MENTIONED IN THE BEGINNG ABOUT PUTTING A COUNTER-CORRUPTION COMMISSION IN PLAC BUT T PAST EFFORTS TO D THIS HAVE CED TWO PROBLEMS. ONE, TH HAVEN'T BEENROPERLY RESOURCED SO THAT THEY DID'T ACTUALLY HAVE TH CAPACITY, AND IT'S NO JUST MONEY. IT'S ALSO ABOUT US PROVIDI OUR ESOURCES, OUR INTEIGENCE RESOURCE TECHNICAL ASSISTANC TO MAKE SOMETHG LIKE THAT WORK.

>> Ifi: IS THIS NEW COMMISSIO A REAL COMMISSION?

>> WELL TCA BE. IT REMAINS TO BE SEEN. I MEAN, W NEED TO HAVE THE POTICAL WILL,LONG WITH PRIDENT KARZAI, TO MAKE THIS WORK. WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE STORYHAT ME OUT LAST WEEK THAT WVE BEEN COMPINING, THE IERNATIONAL COMMUNITY HAS BE COMPLAINING THAT KARZAI'S BROTHER IN THE SOUTH IS VOLVED IN THE DRUG TRADE, AND YET IT WAS REVEALEDHAT HE MAY BE ON THE C.I.A. PAYROLL. SO WE AL HAVE TO HOLD OURSELVES ACCOUNABILITY. BUT IF 'RE GOING TO DEMANDOF ARZAI THAT HE TAKE ACTION AGAINST PEOPLE, W ALSO HAVE TO MA SURE THAT WE ARE ALSO TAKING ACTION AGAINS PEOPLE EVEN IF WE FOUND THEM USEFUL.

>> I DISAGRE. I THINK THAT E DECION TO ACCEPTED TROOPS SHOU DEFINITELY BE TIED T THESE INCATORS BECAUSE IF WE SEND MORE U.S. TROOPS IN A SITUATION WHERE ERE IS RING CORRUPTION THE DRUGRADE CONTINUES TO RISE, AND TH AFGHAN PPLE WILL BEGIN TO WONR WHATHE UNITED STATESIS THEREFOR AND START TARGETING, YOU KNOW, U. TROOPS AND KIND OF BLAMINGHEM FOR THE PROBLEAS WELL. SO I THINK WE HA TO HAVE A COMPREHENSIVE APPRCH. THE MONEY IN AFGHANISTAN HAS BEENLLOCATED MAINLY FOR MILITARYPENDING. THAT'S BEEN ONE OF THE MAJOR PROBLEMS. WE HAVEONE OF THE MOST POOR COUNTRIES IN THWORLD. WE ED TO HELP THE PEOPLE AND WE CAN USE OUR RESOURCES MORE WISE LEES TO DO THAT. ON THE LEGAL FRONT THE COMMISSIONS HAVE BN AROUND AND THEY'VE BE USE TO GO AAINST OPPONENTS AND SOME USE PROSECUTE READ TAKEOFF THE HOOK. I THINK W NEED INTERNATIONAL ASSIST APSE, JUDGE WHO COME FR OUTSIDE WHO HELP AND MAKE SURE THESE DECISIS ARE FAIR SO WHEN THESE PROSECUTIONS HAPPEN, OPLE CAN HVE CONFINCE THAT THEY ARE GOING AAINST THE RIGHT PEOPLE ANTHAT THOSE DECISIONS WILL BE HELD AND THE PEOPLE WIL BE ACCOUNBLE.

>> Ifill: MARIAM NAWAB, EXANDER THIER, THANK U BOTH VERY CH.

>> Lehrer: HAVE A CONVERSAON COMPARING THE AFGHAN WAR WITH VIETNAM ONUR WEB SITE NEHOUR.PB.ORG.

>> Lehrer: A TO THE SARAH PALIN STORY, ON THE ROAD AIN, PROMOTING H MEMOIR, JUDY WOODRUFF REPORTS.

>> SAH, SARAH.

>> Woodruff: YEAR AFTER SHE EW LARGER CROWDS THAN JOHN MCCAIN AS NUMBER O ON HIS TICKET, SARAH PALIN IS DRAWG CROWDS AGAIN THIS TE, AS SHE LAUNCS HER BOOK TOUR. PEOPLE EAGETO CATCH A GLIMPSE OF THE FORMER ALASKA GOVERNO LINED UP IN GRAND RAPDS, MICHIGAN, ERLY THIS MORNING FOR A BOOK SIGNING SET FOR TONHT.

>> WELL,HE JUST REPRESENTS EVERYING THAT I BELIEVE IN: SHE'S JUST LIKE AND MY BUDDY SITTING AT THE BLE TALKING POLITICS ABOUT HOWE THINK THINGS OULD BE. >>oodruff: FOR THE NEXT THREE WEEKS, PALIN PLANTO VISIT AT LEA 23 STATES, STOPPING IN SELECTED CITIETO PROMOTE "GOI ROGUE," HER NEW MEMOIR. IN WASHINGTON, D.C., AITY SHE'NOT VISITING, THE FIRST SHIPMENT OF PALIN BOO SOLD OUT QUICK. STAFFERWERE BUSY RESTOCKING MORE.

>> I'M REALLY INTERESTED TO AR MORE ABOUT HER LIFE ANSOME OF THEECISIONS SHE HAS MADE RECTLY, ESPECIALLY HER DECIDING TO RUN FOVICE PRESIDENT AND WHAT THAT ENTAILED. AND THEN I'M INTERESTED TKNOW WHAT SHE IS ANNING AND HOW TT MAY AFFECT WHAT HAPPENS NATIONALLY.

>> I'M VERY MUCH INTEREED IN READING I I DON'T AGREE WITH R POLITICS, BUT THINK SHE'S A FASCINATING PERSON.

>> Woodru: BUT SOME IN THE STORE WEREN'T IMPRESSED.

>> IT'S A VERY SERIS TIME. I'D RATHER READ MOREERIOUS WORKS ON SERIOUS ISSUES IN RMS OF THE ECONY OR SOCIETY.

>> Woodruff: DPITE DIVIDED OPINNS, THE BOOK IS HAVING NO TROUBLE SELLING. HIGH PRE-ORDER LES HAVE PUT IT IN THENE SLOT ON AMAZON.COM FOR WEEKS.

>> I INK THE PERSPECTIVE OF RUBLICANS AFTER THE CAMPAIG ABOUT HER WAS AUESTION MARK.

>> Woodruff: FORMER G.O.P. CONGRESSWOMAN SUSAMOLINARI SAYS WHILE THE PARTY MAKES U ITS ND, PALIN SEEMS TO BE TARGETING PEOPLE WITH HER TR WHO MIGHT PPORT HER IN ANOTHER RUN FOR OFFICE.

>> WHEN YOU HEAR THAT SHE NOT GOING TO THE METROPOLAN AREA AND MORE THE SMALL TOWN, RED AREAS, POLITICAL RED, MAYBE HE IS YOU KNOW TRYING TO DEVELOP HER CADRE OF FLOWERS WHILE SHE IS SELLING A BOOK D ADVOCATING AND TESTG OUT MESSAGES AND TESTING T WHAT WORKS AND ESN'T WORKND MOVING FORWAR

>> Woodruff:HICH RAISES THE ESTION: WHAT DOES SARAH PAL WANT TO DOEXT? SOME CONSERVATIVESAY IT SHOULD NO BE A RUN FOR THE WHIT HOUSE.

>> I DON'T THINK S'S AT ALL QUALIFIED TO BE PRIDENT.

>> Woruff: OTHERS SAYHE COULD BE A CONNDER; IT ALL DEPES ON WHAT SHE WANTS. MATTHEW CONTINETTI OF THE "WEEKLY STANDARD" THE AUTHOR OF "E PERSECUTION OF SARAH PALIN.

>> I INK SHE WANTS TO CONTINUE TO HAVE A CAREER INOLITICS AS SOMEONWHO IS INFLUENCING POLITICS. WHETHER THAIS SOMETHING THAT SHE DOES FROM WITHIN A POLICAL OFFICE, I'M NOT SE EVEN SARAH PALIKNOWS AT THIS POINT. SARAH PALIN IS AN INSTINCAL POLITICIAN. SHE IS TREMELY IMPULSIVE. AT TIMES IT MAKES HEAPPEAR RECKLESS. AND IT AL MAKES HER VERY HARD TO PIN DOWN AS A POLITICAL FIGURE. SHE CAN GO FROMNE POLITICAL PERSA TO THE OTHER.

>> Woodruff: THAT IFTING PERSONA COULD CARRY PAIN ANYWRE FROM PUBLIC OFFICE TO A QUIET LIFE BACK IN ASKA. FRED MALEK, RMER NATIONAL FANCE CHAIRMAN FOR THE MCCAIN CAMPAIGN, SPENT TI WITH PALIN ON E CAMPAIGN TRAIL. HE SAYS HER DECISION WRITE A BOOK OESN'T ANER THE QUESTION WHETHER SHE'LL RUN FOR PRESIDENT. I HAVE NO IDEA WHETHER SHE INTENDS TO RUN FOR OFFICEOR NOT, I REALLY HAVE NO IDEABUT YOU HAVE TOOOK AT THIS THROUGH THE PRISM OF A MOTHER OF VE, WITH AO A GRANDCHILD LIVING AT HOME, WITH MOTING LEGAL BILLS AND A NEED TO CREATE A BTER LIFE AND A SECURE LIFE FO HERSELF AND HERAMILY.

>> Woodruff: CONTINEI AGREES THT MONEY WAS A STRONG FACTOR IN THE DECISIOTO WRITE THE BOO HER ADVANCE WAS REPORTLY IN THE MILLIS.

>> SHE D TO PAY FOR A LOT OF THESE LEGAL BILLS SING FROM THE ETCAL COMPLAINTS THAT GREETED HER WHEN SHE RETUED TO ALASKA. SHE HAD TO PAY THEMUT OF HER OWN PKET. AND WHICHHE PALINS WEREN'T POOR, THEY WEREN'T EXACTLY CH EITHER. WELL, NOW SHE'S RICH.

>> Woodruff: SOM OF THE BOOK'S HARSHESTORDS ARE RESERVED FOR MCCAIN MPAIGN SENR STAFFERS WHO PALIN FEE STEERED HER WRON

>> LOOK, SHE WAS NOTREATED WELL ASHE CAMPAIGN CAME TO ITS FINAL DAYS AND THEREAER. THERE WERE PEOPLE WHWERE SAYING THIN THAT WERE NOT RIGHT AND TMY WAY OF THINKING, LACKED CVALRY, LACKED HONOR, LACK INTEGRITY, AND IN EVERY CONCEIVAB WAY WERE DISTATEFUL. IFHE WANTS TO KIND OF COME CK AT SOME OF THAT STUFF, ME POWER TO HER.

>> Wdruff: BUT TODAY SENATOR MCCAIN CAME TO HIS STF'S DEFENSE; HE TOLD REUTERS IT' TIME TO MOVE O AND THETHERE'S THE NEWS MEDIA. ALL WEEK, PALIN HAS LASHED ACROSS TV,ER FIRST BIG INTEIEW WAS WITH OPRAH WINFREY.

>> I THINK IT'SA-- I SUMS IT UP BETTER THAN RHAPS I'M SUMMING. HE SAID, "S'S NOT RETREATING SHE'S RELOADING."

>> RELOADING.

>> YES.

>> Woodruff: BARBARA WALRS ALSO SAT DOWN TH PALIN ON ABC. > WILL YOU PLAY A MAJOR ROL

>> IF PEOPLE WILL HAVE ME, I WILL

>> Woodru: IN EVERY INTERVIEW, SHE'S ASKED ABOUT WHAT LIN HERSELF ADMS WAS A BAD INTVIEW LAST YEAR WITH CBS'S KATIE COURIC.

>> I'M JT GOING TO ASK YOU ONE RE TIME, NOT TO BELABO THE POINT, SPEFIC EXAMPLES IN H 26 YEARS OF PUSHING FOR MORE REGATION.

>> I'LL Y TO FIND YOU SOMEAND BRING THEMTO YA.

>> MY FAULT, MY BAD THEY ANSWERED THE WAY THEY ANSWED.

>> Woodruff: PALIN DEFENDS SAY THE MEDIAONTINUES ITS UNFAIR TREATMENT OF HER IN THIS WK'S "NEWSWEEK, WHERE SHE'S PICTURED ON THE COVER IN RUNNING ORTS. PALIN CALLED IT SEXIST ON R FACEBOOK PAGE BUT CONSERVATIVE DAVIFRUM SAYS SHE H BROUGHT IT ON HERSELF.

>> THIS IS A WOMAWHO GOT INTO A POTION OF LEADERSHIP BY SENDING VERY POWFUL SEXUAL SIGNAL AND WE SEE THAT THE WAY THAT M LIKE HER MUCH MORE THAN WOMEN DO.

>> Woodruff: PIN'S RE-ENTRY COS AS THE GOP STARTS TO RECOVER FROM THE BODY BL IT TOOK IN LAST YEAR'S ECTIONS. BUT SUSAN MOLINARI SAYS PIN NEEDS TO MOVE YOND THE PARTY'S SE.

>> NEITHER POLITICAL RTY GETS TO BE THE MAJORITY ALL WE DO IS KE THAT TENT REALLY SMALL.

>> Woodruff: MATTH CONTINETTI, A PAN FAN, AGREES:

>> AND THE CENAL THING THAT S WOULD DO IF SHE WANTED A FUTE IN ELECTIVE OFFICE IS TO EMBRACE A MESSE THAT IS NOT NECESSARILY DIRECTED ATHE BASE OF THE PUBLICAN PARTY, T IT'S DIRECTED ATHE INDEPENDENT OTERS WHO DETERMINE ELECTION

>> Woodruff: FRED MEK, ANOTHER FAN,ELIEVES PALIN CAN BE A CATALYST FOR A REPUBLIC COMEBACK.

>> I THINK F US TO BE A WINNINGARTY ON THE NATIONAL LEVEL, WE HAVE TO BE BIGNOUGH TO ENCOMPASS SAR PALIN ON THE RIGHT TO OLYMPIA SNOW THE MODERATE, AND ERYONE IN BETWEN.

>> odruff: BUT DIVISIONS PERSIST. DAVID FRUM SAYS PALIN IS HOLED BY HER FOCUON THE PAST.

>> I THINK THE'S A THIN-NESS OFKIN, AND AN ANGER AND A VINDICTIVENE THAT IS VERY DANGEROUS. E QUESTION I LOOK TO IN A REPUBLICAPRESIDENT IS "DO YOU HAVE THAT KIND OF RESOURCES TO REALLY HOLD E LINE WHEN THINGS GET TOUGH?" ANNOT JUST TO TALK TOUGH, BUT TO BE TOUGH. ND NOT JUST TO PUNCH BACK, B ACTUALLY TO HAVTHE ABILITY TO KE GOING WITHOUT PUNCHING BACK--WHILE RESAINING YOURSELF AND YOUR EMOTIONS.

>> Woodruff: REGARDLS, THE MANAGER OFNE WASHINGTON BOSTORE DOES NOT EXPECT THE HYPE OVER THE PALINOOK TO LAST LON

>> MY INSTCT TELLS ME THAT THIS WILL SORT OF FLAME T AND BURN OUT ICKLY. I THINK WE'LL MOVE ONTO THEEXT THING, WHOER THE NEXT GUEST ON OPRAH IS.

>> Woodruff: MAYE, BUT PALIN'S SHOWN A KNACK F ATTRACTING ATTENTION THAT WHETHER SHE RNS FOR OICE OR NOT COULD KEEP HER A FIGURE OF INTERESFOR A LONG TIME TCOME.

>> Lehrer: NOW, UGH QUESTIONS FOR ATTORNEY GENERAL ERIC HDER OVER TRYINGHE 9/11 SUSPECTS IN NEW YORK CITY.WÑ HE FACED THEM TODAY AT AEARING OF THE SENE JUDICIARY COMTTEE. NEWSHOUR CONGREIONAL CORRESPONNT KWAME HOLMAN HAS OUR REPORT.

>> Holman: ITAS THE ATTORNEY NERAL'S FIRST APPEARANCE BEFORE CONGRESS SINCE HE ANNOUNCED LAST WEEK THAKHALID SHEIKH MOHMED AND FOUR OTHER SUSPECTS WLD BE TRIED IN FERAL DISTRICT COURT IN MANHATTAN. MOHAMMED CLAIMED DECT CREDIT FOR MASTERMINDI THE AIRLINER ATTACKS OF SEPTEMBER 11. THE OTHERS ALGEDLY HELPED TRAIAND FINANCE THE ATTACKERS. BUT THE PARTISAN DIVIDEVER HOLDER'S DECISION S OBVIOUS IN OPENG STATEMENTS BY COMMITTEE LEADERS.

>> THEY COITTED CRIMES OF MURDER IN OUR COUNTR AND WE WILL PROSUTE THEM IN OUR OUNTRY.

>> KHALID EIKH MOHAMMED IS A TERRORIST, IS ALLEG TO BE A TERRORIST. THE CORRE WAY TO TRY HIM IS BY MILITARY TRIBUNAL. >>Holman: IN HIS OPENING STATEMENT, THE ATTORNEYENERAL LAID OUT E THINKING THAT WENT INTO HIS DECISION.

>> I AM A PROSECUTOR. A AS A PROSECUTOR, MY TOP PRIORITY W SIMPLY TO SELECT THE VUE WHERE THE GOVERNMENT WILL HAVE THE GREATEST OPPORNITY TO PRESENT THE STRONGEST CASE AND THBEST LAW. WE ND NOT COWER IN THE FACE OF THIS ENEMY. OUR INSTITUTIONSRE STRONG, OUR INFRARUCTURE IS STURDY, OUR RESOLVIS FIRM, AND OUR PEOPLE ARE READY.

>> Holman: UNDER QSTIONING, HOLDER PLAYED DOWNEPUBLICAN COCERNS THAT MOHAMMED MIGHT NO BE CONVICTED ANWHETHER HE'D BE EE TO GO IF HE'S FOUND NOT GUILTY.

>> FAILURE ISOT AN OPTION. FLURE IS NOT AN OPTION. THIS, THESE AREASES THAT HAVE BE WON. I DON'T EXPECTHAT WE WILL HAVE A CONTRARY RESULT.

>> I DON'T KNOW HOW U CAN MAKE A STATENT THAT FAILURE TO CONVICT IS NOT A AN OPTIO

>> I VE THOUGHT ABOUT, YOU KNOW, THAT POSSIBILIT D ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THI ADMINISTRATION H CONSISTENTLY SAD-- IN FACT, CONGRESS HAS PASSED LEGISLAON THAT WOULD NOT ALLOW FOTHE RELEASE INTO THIS COUNTRY ANYBODY WHO WAS EMED DANGEROUS.

>> Holman: HOLDER CLASH WITH REPUBLICAN JON KYL OF AZONA EN KYL POINTED OUT MOHAMMAD ALREADY HAD AGREETO PLEAD GUILTY TO A MITARY TRIBUNAL.

>> HOW COULD U BE MORE LIKELY TOET A CONVICTION IN FEDERAL COURT, WHEN KHALID SHEIKH MOHAMMED H ALREADY ASKED TO PLEAD GUILTY BERE MILITARY COMMSION AND BE EXECUTED?

>> I DON'KNOW WHAT KHALID SHEIKH MOHAMMEWANTS TO DO NOW. AND I'M NOTOING TO BASE A DERMINATION, ON WHERE THESE CAS OUGHT TO BE BROUGHT, ON WHAT A TERRORIST-- AT A MURDERER-- WTS TO DO. HE WL NOT SELECT THE OSECUTION VENUE. I WILL SELECT IT. AND I HAVE.

>> lman: REPUBLICANS ALSO ARGUED THERE IS CONSIRABLE PUBLIC CONRN ABOUT BRINGING THE DETAINEES TO THU.S. MAINLAND ANDBOUT THE POTENTIAL FINANCIAL AND EMOTIONAL COS OF A TRIAL. AND, THEREAS MORE.

>> I'M TELLING YOU RIGHT N, WE'RE MAKING STORY AND WE'RE KING BAD HISTORY.

>> Holman: SOUTH CAROLINA'S LINDSEY GRAHAM RSED CONCERNS THAGIVING THE SUSPECTS LEGAL RIGHTS CRIMINAL COURTS WILL UNDERMINEFFORTS TO GET TH TO TELL WHAT THEY KNOW.

>> YOU'VE MADA FUNDAMENTAL MISTAKE HERE. YOU HAVE TAKEN WARTIME MODEL THT WILL ALLOW US FLEXIBILITY WHEN IT COMES TONTELLIGENCE GATRING, AND YOU HAVE COMPROMISED THIS COUNTRY'S ABILITY TO DEAL WITHEOPLE WHO ARE AT WAR WITH US.

>> Hman: EVEN BEFORE THE ATTORNEY GENEL ARRIVED HERE AT THE CAPITOL, PRESIDENT AMA ALREADY H WEIGHED IN BEFORE LEAVING CHINA. IN A SERIES OF TERVIEWS, HE GAVE HIS ANSWER TO THOSE WHVE KEN OFFENSE AT TRYING KHALI SHEIKH MOHAMMEAND THE OTHERS, FEDERAL COURT IN NEW YOR >I DON'T THINK IT WILL BE OFFENSIVE AT ALL WHEN IS CONVICTED. AND WHEN THE DEATH PENTY IS APPLIED TOIM. PEOPLE LL NOT BE OFFENDED IF THAT'S THE OUTCOME. I'M NOT PREJUDGING,ND I'M NOT GOING BE IN THE COURTROOM. HAT'S THE JOB OF THE OSECUTORS, THE JUDGE AND T JURY.

>> Holman: FOR THE MO PART, JUDICIARYOMMITTEE DEMOCRATS AT TODAY'S HEARINGGREED WITH THE STICE DEPARTMENT'S DECISIO MARYLAND'S BEN CDIN.

>> IT GES US AN ESTABLISHED PROCESS THAT HAS BEEN USED BEFE. IT GIVEUS THE CREDIBILITY OF OUR SYSTEM, WHICH IS INTERNATIONALLY UNDETOOD AND RESPECTE AND IT GIVES THE ABILITY TO SHCASE THAT WE ARE USING THE AMERICAN VALUES TO HOLD TH TERRORISTS RESPSIBLE.

>> Holma AND ILLINOIS' DICK DURBIN SAID W REPUBLICANS COLAINED WHEN ZACARIAS MOUSSAOUI E ALLEGED 20TH JACKER OF 9/11, WAS TRIED AND CONVICTED IN FERAL COURT IN VIRGINIA. DURBIN QUOTED FORMER NEW YO MAYOR RUDY GIULIANI, W OPPOSES THE COMING TRIAL IN NEW YORK, BUT PRAISED THE MOUAOUI TRIAL. HEAID: "AT THE SAMEIME, I WAS IN AWE OF OUR SYSTEM. DOES DEMONSTRATE THAT WE C GIVE PEOPLE A FA TRIAL; THAT WE A EXACTLY WHAT WE SAY WE ARE. WE ARE A NATION OF W. I THINK IT'S ING TO BE SYMBOL OF AMERIN JUSTICE." > Holman: RELATIVES OF SOME THE 9/11 VICTIMSTTENDED TODAY'SEARING. SOME SAID THE 9/11 SUPECTS DON'T DERVE THE SAME LEGAL RIGHTS AS U.S. CITIZENS. IN TURN, RHODE LAND DEMOCRAT ELDON WHITEHOUSE CAUTIONED AGAIN HOLDING PROSECUTORS ACCOUNTABLE TO PUBLIC OPINN. HE CLED IT "A VERY DANGEROUS BELLWETHER". FOR N, THE TRANSFER OF SUSPTS TO NEW YORK STILL IS MANY WEEKS AWAY. AND THERE'S NO INDICAON OF WHEN THE IAL MIGHT BEGIN.

>> LehrerNEXT TONIGHT, SEARCHING FOR THE MEANINGF GOOGLE, JEFFREY BROWN EXANES A NEW CONICLE OF THE INTERNET FORCE.

>> THINK OF GOOGLE A A VERB SOMETHING MILLIONOF US DO UTINELY WHEN WE NEED SOME BIT OF IORMATION, OR AS A NOUN, THE 11-YR-OLD COMPANYOUNDED BY TWO STANFORD STUDETS OR A BRAND. THE NE BOOK, "GGLED, THE ED OF THEORLD AS WE KNOW IT," EXPLORES ALL THREEOF THESE. ITS AUTHORS KEN AULEA, LONGTIME WRITER OF THE CAN THE NEW YORKER"ND NUMERO OTHER BOOKS ON MEDIA AND GUESS BUSINESS. WELCOME TO YOU. YOU WENT INTO TH KNOWING THIS UPLE COMPANY WAS A PHENOMON, WHAT YOU CA A WAVE MAKR. AFTER ALL THE REPORTING,WHAT'S THE KEY TO ITS SUCCESS?

>> WELL, I THINKHEY SART FROM AN ATTITUDE TT THINGS A DONE INEFFICITLY, PARTICULARLY IN THE MEDIA WORLD, B IT ADVERTISING, TELEVION,R MICROSOFT, PACKAGE SOFTWARE. AND THEN THENGINEER COMESIN ANDHE ENGINEER IS REALLY KEY, THEY'RE THE MARTIN SCORSESE,THE CONTENT CRTORS, THE ONES WHO--.

>> Brown: ENGINEER IS KING AT THIS PLACE. THEY ARE. AND TY START WITH THE SINGLE QUESTION WHICH ISWHY? WHY CAN'T WE SELL ADES MORE CHEAPLY AND TLL THE ADVERTISEER WHO THEY'RE REACHINGITH THO ADS AND CHARGE TH ONLY WHEN THEY CLI. Y CAN'T WE DO GOOLE NEWS ONLINE AND GET AWAY FROM THE COSTS OF THE NEWSPERS AND DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM WHY DO WEAVE SE SOFTWARE LIKE MICROSO DOES. WHCAN'T WE HAVE CHEAPER TELEPHONE SERVICE.

>> own: STAYING WITHIN THE COMPANY HERE, MEAN, THIS ETHOS OF AOST INLLECTUAL PLAY WHICH YOU DESCRIBE, LETTING THE ENGINES ASK THESE QUEIONS AT THE SAME TIME AS GROWING A BUSINES

>> I MEAN, I WOULD SIT IN ENGIERING MEETINGS AT GOOGL, AN THEY WERE TALNG SHE'LL TOW ME. I DN'T UNDERSTAND HALF OF THE WORDS. I H THE LUXURY OF TIME TO IGURE OUT WHAT THE WORDS MEANT. BUT THE TRUTH IS THE TWO COFOUNDERS-- ERR.

>> SCHMIDT IS THE C.E.O.HE'S AN EINEER. THEY UNDERSTOOD EVERY WORD TH SPOKEND THEY COULD CHALLENGE THOSE ENGINEE. YOU THI IF YOU'RE IN A DIGITAL COMPANY, YOU'RE IN ANY COMPANY DEALING WITH THE DIGITAL WORLD AND YOU DON'T SPEAK THE LINGO OF ENINEERS, YOU'RE DOOMED.

>> Brown: WHAT ABT ALSO THE-- WELL,HERE'S THE MOTTO, RIGHT, DON'T BE EVIL. THIS SSE THAT WE'RE NOT IN IT JUST FOR-- WELL, NOT EVEN IN IT FOR MONEY TSOUNDS LIKE. THEY'RE IN IT TO DO GOOD TO CHANGE T WORLD. THEY TALK THIS WAY. IS IT REAL?

>> IT IS RL, AND IT'S SELF-RIGHTEOUSBOTH. THEYKARTED OUT, THESETWO FOUNRS, WITH THE YR IDEASTIC NOON OF MAKING ALL E WORLD'S INFORMATION AVAIBLE. FOR THE FST TWO YEARS THEY MADE NO MONEY. THEY HAD N CLUE HOW THEY WOULD MAKE MONEY. THEY FINALLY CAMUP WITH AN ADVERTISING PLAN. THINK ABOUT IT. THEY REFUED TO RUN ADS ON THEIR HOME PAGE. THEY REFUSED TO LOCK SBOU GOOGLE SEARCH. THEY DIDN'TREATE APORTAL-- Y HAVE TO STAY IN OUR PORTA GET INFORMATION. SO TH WIN THE TRUST OF CONSUMERS TH THAT,ND IT'S FREE-- LET'S NOT FOGET THAT, VERY IMPORTANT. THEYVE BEEN WONOUS THINGS AND 'S ONE OF THE REASONS GOOGLE IS ONE OF THE MOST TRUST BRANDS IN THE WORLD. THEN THEY GO TO CHINA IN 2004, ANTHEY SAY YOU ARE GOING TO DO AEARCH ON TNANMEN SQUARE, NO THANKS. WE N'T WANT TO SHOW ANY UNPLEASANTNS AND THEY CAVE.

>> Brown: AND THTHOS BUMPS UP AGAINST REALITY.

>> IF YOU CLOSE THE OFFICE AS THEY DIDN LATE '9 IN PHOENIX THE PEOPLE WHO WORKED IN THE OENIX OFFICE DID THEYTHINK THATAS AN EVIL ACT OR NOT? EVIL IS IN THEYE OF THE BEHOLDER. IT BECOMES SELF-DEFING RASE THAT THEY LOVE AND PEOPLERALLY AROUND INOOGLE, AND THEYEEL IT, BUT I IT TOLLY REAL? NO.

>> Brown: SPEAKING O BUMPING UP AGAINST REITY, THE HER THING YOU SPEND A LOT OF ME ON IS THE SENSE BUMPING UP LOTS OF NEW AND OLD MEDIA. THERE'S A LNE YOU SAY, THE GOOGLWAVE HAS CRASD INTO ENTIRENDUSTRIES-- ADVERTISING NEWSPAPERS, BOOK PUBLISHING, TELEVISIONS, TEFORNGZ MOVIES, SOFTWAREARDWARE MAKERS. THIS IS A COMPANY DISRUING A LOT OF THESE OLD AND NEW MEDIA.

>> TALLY DISRUPVE. I ASKED LARRY PAGE AT ONE POINT, I SAID, "IS IT TRUE YOU'LL BUMP INTO TRATIONAL MED." AND WTHOUT BENG GLEEFUL ABOUT IT HE SD, OT TIMES, ALWAYS." THEY KNOW THAT. THEY KNOW THERE BUMPING INTO ME OF THESE MPANIES SOME THEY DOBUSINESS WITH-- IN FACT MANY THEY DO BUSINESS WIT INEVITLY, IT'S A MUCH MORE EFFICIENT WAY TOO THINGS. IF YOU WE DECATING NEWSPAPER CAN THEY BE REACEED BY T BLOGOHERE? I DOT THINK SO. THAT'S ONE OF THE QUESTIS YOU HAVE, WHAT REPLACES T OLD? DO THE NEW REPLACE IT FACTLY.

>> Brown: ONE WA OF THINKING ABOUT ITIS THIS COMPANY IMPACT O THIS INDUSY AND COMPANIES AND THE OTH WAY IS THE IMPACTN IT AS IT MOVES FORWARD, RGHT. BECAUSE THE OTHERHING YOU'RE TALKING ABOUTIS THE WAY IT IS MORE VULNERABLE IT AS CRASHES INTOHESE OTHER PLACES. >AND ONE OF THE PROBMS WH GOOGLE-- TH GOOGLE HAS IS THEIRGREAT STRENGTH-- A WE TALKED ABOUT A MOMNT AGO-- ARE THEIENGINEERS. THAT'S THEIR VIRTUE. THR VICE IS IT THE FLIP SIDE THAT. ENGINEERSACK ETIONAL INTELLIGENCE OFTEN THEY DON'T SEE TNGS THEY CAN'T MEASURE. OR INSTANCE, THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO GAEJ FEAR. I COVERED T MICROSOFT TRI 10 YEARS AGO. MICROSOFT GOT IN TROUBLE TH THE GOVEMENT IN PART BECAUSE BILL GATES ANDHIS MINIONS COULDT ANTICIPATE WHY THE GOVERNMENT WLD BE CONCERNED ABOUT THEIR CONCENTRAON OF POWER. OR WHY TODAY GOOGLES NOT ACUTELY AWARE OF WHY ISSUES LKE PRIVACY OR COPYRIGHT,OTH OF WHICH THEY AFFECT PROFNDLY, WOULD BE OF CONCRN, NOT ST TO THE GOVERNMENT AND NOTUST THIS GOVERNMENT BUT GOVERNMENTS ALL AROU THE WORLD, BUT TO OTHER BUSINESS. SOGOOGLE TODAY IS IN THE CROSSHAIRS THE WAY MICROSOFT WAS 10 YEARS AGO.

>> Brown: AND WHI MICROSOFT IS A GOOD EXPLE, BECAUSE YOU WROTEBOUT THAT, IS THE QUESTIONOW IS GOOGLE DIFFERENT BECAUSE OF THE-- BECAU OF ITS CULTURE, BECAUSE OF AT IT DOES THAN A MICROSOFT, S, OR HERS THAT ONCE SEED INVISIBLE? OR DO YOU SEE IT RT OF 10 YES FROM NOW WE'RE KIND OF SAYING WHATS THE NEXT ONE AND GOOGLE'S JUST ANOTHER-- NOT JUST ANOTHER, BUT STILL JUST A B COMPANY.

>> I THINK GOOGLE OTH DIFFERENT AND SIMILAR. DIFFERENT IN T SENSE-- WHEN I WAS DOING MROSOFT, ICAME AWA THINKING MICROSOFT IS POPULATED BY CO-BUSINESSMEN. WHEN I DOOOGLE I FIND THEM POPATED BY COLD ENGINEERS THE DIFFERENCE IS THE COLD BUSINESSMAN WANTS TO KILL THE COMPETITION GOOGLES NOT INTERESTED IN KILING THE COMPETITION. THEYUST WANT MORE EFFICNCIES BUT INEVITABLY YOU DO IKILL SOMOF THE COMPANIES AND THERE'S A SOCIAL COST FORTHAT. I THINK THERE'MUCH MORE IDEALISM THERE, AND TH DO THINGS THAT ARE MORE DMO IN MANYAYS TH MICROSOFT DID. THESIMILARITY IS, THERE' A CERTAIN LEVEL OF HUBIS THAT CREEPS INWHEN YOU'RE THAT CCESSFUL FOR A LONG PERIODOF TIME. YOU MISS THINGS THAT ARE HAPPENING. BUT ALSO YOU LE IN A KIND OF CLOISTERED WORLD FREE FOOD AND FREE MEDIC AND FREE BES AND FREE MEDICINE A FREE CAR WASHES ON THURSDAY, AND YOU STA SAYING, "HEY, I'M GUY." AND, YOU KNOW, HUBRIS SE IN, AND YOU START LOSING PEOPLE AND YOU-- SO YOU HAVE DRAIN OF TALENT. ANTHEN THE THING THAT YOU HAVE OUT THERIS YOU HAVE NEW COMPETITION. BILL GATES SAID TO ME INATE 98 WHN I INTERVIEWED HILL, I SAID, "BILL, WHAT DO YOU WORRY ABOUT?" HE SD, "I WORRY ABOUT SOMEONE IN THEARAGEINVENTING AEW TECHNOLOGY I NER THOUGHT ABOUT." THE NEW TECHNOLOGY IN '98 WAS GOOGLE. WHAT'S THE NEW TECHNOLOGY TODAY THAT THRATENS NOW? ONE COULD BE ASITE LIKE FACEBOOK. WHEN YOU THINK ABT A SEARCH, YOU DO A SEARCH, AND YOU GET THOUSANDS OF ANSWS. THAT'S VERY INEFFICIT--.

>> Brow SOCIAL MEDIA ALWS YOU TARGET IT.

>> TGET 15 OF YOURRIENDS-- NOT THAT CAMERA, B THIS CAMERA. HI IT. YOU WLL TRUST YO FRIENDS. THAT BECOMES WAT'S CALLED A VEICAL SEARCH WHICH IS VERY POTEN

>> Brown: SO THEORLD REMAININGS INLUX. THE BOOK IS "GOOGLE,THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT." KEN AULEA, THANKS SO MUCH.

>> MY PLEARE.

>> Lehrer: FINALLY TONIG, ANOTHER OF OUSTORIES ON FRAGILSTATES AROUND THE WORLD. SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT RA KAY REPORTS ONOSNIA HERZEGOVINA THE EASTERN EUROPEAN NION ONCE PART OF GOSLAVIA.

>> Reporter: ARA AND SABAHUDIN GAROVIC ARE PIONEERS: BOSNIAN MUSLIMS WHOAVE RETURNED TO LAND THEY WERE EXPELL FROM IN HE EARLY 1990s DURING THR COUNTRY'S BRAL ETHNIC WAR. THEY AND THEIRHEN INFANT SON HA SURVIVED A YEAR IN A DETENTION MP. WHEN THEY MED BACK A FEW YEARS AFTETHE WAR ENDED, THEY FOUND LITTLE MORE THAN RUS WHERE THEIR HE HAD BEEN.

>> ( translated ): IT WAS TERBLE. WE DIDN'T KN WHETHER TO LAUGH OR CRY. WE WERE HAPPYO BE BACK, BUT IT WAS REALLY VERY DIFFICULT BECAUSE WE DIDN'T KW WHERE TO START.

>> Reporter: TODAY THE GARIBOVICS HAVE RUILT THEIR HOME AND RESTARD THEIR LIVES, BUT THEY ARE NOW MINITIES, THEIROWN OF KOZARAC IONE OF THE FEW MUIM COMMUNITIES INIDE THE SERB-CONTROLLED PART OF BOSNIA. ONCE DEVASTATED BY THEAR, LIFE IS NOW SWLY RETURNING TO THE STETS. THEIR IS FULL OF THE SOUND OF NEW CONSTRUCTION AND THE MLIM CALL TO PRAR. UNEMPLOENT IS STILL VERY HIGH HERE AND RESIDENTS SAY DISCRIMINATION CONTINUESBUT HAT KOZARAC EXISTS AT ALL TOY IS PROOF THAT BOSNIA RZEGOVINA IS MOVG AWAY FROM ITS BLOODY PAST. 100,0 PEOPLE WERE KILLED IN THE CIVIL WAR RE. A WAR THAT TAUGHT THE WOR THE TERM ETHNIC EANSING. BUT 1YEARS AGO, AMERICAN AND EUROPEAN DIPLOMATS RSUADED BITTER VERSARIES TO SIT DOWN AT AN OHIO AIR FORCE BASE A AGREE TO STOP T BLOODSHED IN WHT HAS BECOME KNOWN AS THE DAYTON ACCORDS. 50,000 NATO TROOPHELPED SECURE THE PEACE AND EXTSIVE INVESTMENT BY THE INRNATIONAL COMMUNY QUICKLY FOLLOWED. AND TO MY PEOPLES RPRISE, THE PEA HAS HELD. TODAY, MOST OF THCOUNTRY HAS BEEN PHYSICALLY REPAIRED. THE CAPjV, SARAJEVO,TILL CARRS SOME SCARS OF ITS THREE- YEAR SIEGE, BUOTHERWISE FEELS IKE A NORMAL BUSTLING CITY. THE NATO ERATION HAS BEEN REPLACED BY A MU SMALLER EUROPEAN UNION MSION OF ON 2000 TROOPS. AND THERE HAVE BEEN ME MAJOR STRUCTUL REFORMS HERE.

>> ALL THESE THINGS WE DONE IN THE FIRSHALF OF, OF THIS CADE, TREMENDOUS PROGRESS. Reporter: AMERICAN DIPLOMA RAFFI GREGORIANS SECOND IN COMMD AT THE OFFICE OF THE HIGH REPRESENTATIVE,HE INTERNATIONAL DY CREATED BY DTON TO SUPERVISE THE COUNTRY UNTIL IT CAN STANON ITS OWN.

>> THERE WERE STILL TEE FORMER WARRING ARMIES HERE IN BOIA HERZEGOVINA, TODAY THERS ONE. THERE USEDO BE THREE INTELLENCE SERVIS, NOW THERE'S OE. THERE WERE SEVERAL DIFRENT TAXATION SYSMS HERE, TODAY THE'S ONE AND SO ON. >>Reporter: BUT THESE IMPROVEMENTSASKED A FRAGILITY IN THE POLITICALTRUCTURE OF THE COUNTRY, O THAT 14 YEARS OF PEA HAVE NOT FIXED, ONE THAT NOW RISKS PLUNGING BNIA HERZEGONA BACK TOWARDS FAILURE JUST AS LIFE IN PLACES LE KOZARAC WAS BEGINNING TOEEL NORMAL AND JUST AS THE INTERNATION MISSION HERE WAS HOPING TO LEAVE. THE DAYTON AGREEME CARVED THE COUNTRY INTO TWO AUTONOUS ETHNIC ENTITIES, A SERB MAJITY AREA CALLEDEPUBLIKA SRPSKA, AND A FEDERATI PREDOMINANTLY OF BOSNIAK MUSLIMS A CATHOLIC CROAT ON TOP OF THISITS A NATIONAL LAYER OF GOVERNMENT WITH ITOWN ETHNICALLY SED STRUCTURE. THIS HAS BEEN CALLED THEOST OVER-GOVERNECOUNTRIES IN THE WORLD. THERARE THREE PRESIDENTS HERE, EACH ONE REPRESENTG A DIFFERENT ENICITY. THE ARE 13 ADMINISTRATIONS, FROM THE STATE DOWN THE LOCAL LEVELWITH 160 MINISTERS ON THE PAYROLL. AND THE COST OF L THIS GOVERNMENT A HOPPING 50% OF THE COUNTRY'S G.D.P.

>> DAYTON PEACE ACCD WAS A MONSTERI MEAN, IT CREATED A MONSTER COUNTRY.

>> Reporter: SRECKLATAL WRITES FORHE BALKAN INVESTIGATIVE REPORTING NETWORK. HE SAYS THIS WEAK AND COMPLICATED POLITICASYSTEM IS NOW BEING MANIPULATEDY A NEW WAVE OFATIONALIST POLITICIANS.

>> BOSNIA HERZEGOVINA RIT NOW IS FACING E MOST DIFFICULT CRISIS SINCE THE END OF S WAR. WE HAVE COME INTO A SITUION WHERE LOCAL LDERS DON'T WANT MAKE IT WORK. I MEAN THEY DELIRATELY BLOCK THE WO OF JOINT STATE AND ENTITY INSTITUTION ANDAS A RESULT WE ARE FACING A MAJOR DEADLOCK ONLMOST A COMPLETLEVEL. WE DO HAVE THE POLITICAL TENSIONS AND THAT'SECAUSE OF TWO DIVERNT CONCEPTS: THE ONE IS OF MTICULTURAL COUNTRY AND THE OER IS OF DIVIDED ETHIC COUNTRY.

>> Rerter: HARIS SILAJDZIC IS A VETERAN BOSNIAK MUSIM POLITICIAN WHO NOW SVES AS ONE OF THE COUNTRY'S THREE NATINAL PRESIDENTS. HE SAYS HE WANTS A MORE UNIED GOVERNMENT.

>> ALL OF US HAVEN'T DE ENOUGH IN THE LAST 14 YEARS TO PMOTE E POSITIVE VALUES OF WHAT WE CALL A MODERN SOCIY TODAY. BOSNIA HERZEGOVINA SHOULD A NORMAL, DEMOCRATIC COURY WITH THE PRRITY OF BECOMING A FULL MEBER OF NATO ALLIANCE AND A MEMBER OTHE EUROPEAN UNION.

>> Reporte REFORM OF BOSNIA'S POLITICAL SYSTEM IS A REQUIREMENT FOR THE HIGH REPRESENTATE TO LEAVE AND FOR BOSNIA'S ULTIMATE PRE, EUROPEAN UNIONEMBERSHIP. BUT SILDZICS PLAN IS A ONE- MAN-ONVOTE SYSTETHAT WOULD HAVE THE SIDE EFFECT OFUTTING GREATER POWER IN THE HANDS OF THE MORE POPULOUS MUSMS, METHING BOSNIAS SERBS SAY TH WILL NOT ALLOW. REPUBLI SRPSKAS CAPITAL, BANJA LUKA, HAS ALSO COM A LONG WAY SINCE THE WAR, THERES SOME EXA MONEY TO SPEND HERE, FROM DEALS THE SERBS HAVEADE ON THEIR OWN WITH COUNTRS LIKE RUSSIA. AND E GLISTENING NEW GOVERNMENT HEADQUTERS SENDS THE MESAGE: THE SERBS PLAN ON HOLDING ONTO THEIRUTONOMY. GORDAN MILOSEVIC AN ADVISOR TO THE SERB ENTITYS IME MINISTER.

>> Reporter:S THERE A DIFRENCE OF OPINION BETWEEN WHAT THE REPUBLIKA SSKA WANTS THICOUNTRY TO LOOK LIKE AND WHAT THE FEDERATION WAS THIS COUNTRY TOOOK LIKE?

>> WELL IT IS OBVIOUS, TH'S NOT A SECRET F ANYONE WHO KNOWS BOSNIATHAT MAIN IENTION IN REPUBLIC OF SERPSK FOR BOSNIA HERZEGOVINA TO RAIN STRONGLY DECENTRALIZED COUNTRIN LINE WITH DAYTON PEACE AGREEMENT. THOSE WHO ARE INSISTING ONNE MAN, ONE VOTE STEM, THEY ARE BASICALLY TRNG TO PROVIDE FOR CIRCUTANCES THAT WOULD ALLOW FORNLY ONE PEOPLE IN BOSNIA TO RULE THIS UNTRY AND BECOME A DOMINANT GROUP.

>> Reporter: MILOSEVIACCUSES THE INTNATIONAL COMMUNITY, THROUGHTS OFFICE OF THE HIGH EPRESENTATIVE, OF SIDING WIT THE BOSNI MUSLIMS TO UNDERMINE SERB AUTHORITY. HE SAYS T SITUATION IS UNCCEPTABLE.

>> IF THERE WILL BE A FOREN THORITY STILL IMPOSING LAW AFTER LAW CHAING REALITY OF THIS COTRY, WITHOUT EVEN CONSULTING US OUT THAT, WHAT IS OUR OPTION? O PRETEND IGNORANT, AND TO FOLLOW IOSITION AFTER IMSITION? ORTO SAY, OK, IF THAT'S THE GAME YOWANT TO PLAY, PLEASE RUN THIS COUNTRY THE BUT THOUT US.

>> Reporter: REPUBKA SRPSKA PME MINISTER MILORAD DODIK HA GONE EVEN FURTH, THREATENING TO CALL AN INDEPENDCE REFERENDUM. THE OFFICE OF THE HIGH REPRESENTATIVE SAYS ISN'T BIAD AGAINST SERBS, BUT RAFFI GREGORIAN INSISTS IT IS DIK'S GOVERNMENT TT IS UNDERMINING E FUTURE OF THE COUNTRY.

>> THE REPUBLIKA SRPSKWHICH MOST PROCLAIMS THAT THEYANT US GONE ARE T ONES WHO ARE DOING THE MOST TO BLOCK COMPLION OF THESE OBJTIVES AND CONDITIONS. IF THEY HAD A, WE COU HAVE BEEN GONTWO YEARS AGO IN 2007 FOR EXAMPLE IF THEY HADT BEEN TALKING ABOUT INDEPENDENCAND SECESSION. IF THEY HADN'T BEEN BCKING PROGSS ON THE THINGS THAT NEED TOE DONE.

>> Reporter: AS THEOLITICAL DISAGREENT DEGENERATES FURTHER, THE RTORIC HAS ALSO BEGUN TO TAKEN A POISONOUS ETNIC TONE. LAST YEAR, PSIDENT SILAJDZIC CALLED REPUBLIKA SRPSKA REWARD FOR GENODE. BUT IT IRECENT COMMENTS BY ERB PRIME MINISTER DODIK, ACCUSING MUSLI OF STAGING SOME OF THE BIGST WARTIME ATTACKS AGAINST THEM, TT HAS CREATED T GREATEST OUTCRY.

>> IT DOE'T HELP WHEN YOU HAVE THE REPUBLICA SERBSKA PME MINISTER CLAIMING THAUM, HORRIBLE WACRIMES FOR WHICH OPLE HAVE BEEN SENTENCED TO, TO LIFE IN PRIS WERE IN FACT MANUFACTURED THE, BY THE BOSNIAKS IORDER TO MAKE THE SERBS LOOK BAD.

>> THESE TENSIO AND ANIMOSITS THAT WERE FOR ALL E PAST YEARS, PRESENT MOSTLY ONLY POLITICAL LEV AMONG LOCAL POLITICIANS NOW ARE SLLY EFFECTG ORDINARY PEOPLE AND TT IS WHAT IS REALLY DANGEROUS. THERE IS NO MATERIAL FOR A LARGER SCALE CONICT, UH THERE AR NO MORE, SO MANY HEAVY WEAPONS IN THIS COUNTY. THE ARE NO MORE SO MANY SOLDIERS IN TS COUNTRY BUT THERE IS ENOUGH FOR A MAJ TROLE THAT COULD AND WOULD CONTINUE SHING THIS SITUATION IN ALL OTHE EUROPE FOR THE COMING YEARS.

>> Reporter: EVEN THGH AMERICAN ANEUROPEAN DIPLOMATS HAVE TRIED TO DIATE IN RECENT WEEKS, IT SES UNLIKELY THAT AN INTERNAL CONSENSUS CAN B REACHED ANYTIMEOON OVER THE FUTU STRUCTURE OF THE COUNTY. GORDAN MILOSEV OFFERS A STARK RSPECTIVE.

>> Reporter: YOU THINK ITS EV POSSIBLE TO HAVE POLITICAL DISCUSSION IN THIS COUNT THAT DOESN INVOLVE ETHNICITY OR WILL THIS ALWAYS HAVE TBE THE STRUCTURE THE COUNTRY?

>> IT WILL ALWAYS BE THE STRUCTU OF THIS COUNTRY BECAUSTHIS IS SUCH COUNTRY, BUT IT SHOULDN'TPEOPLE SHOULDN'T TRY TO NEGCT REALITY. THE WAY TO DEAL WITHITUATION IS TO RECOGNE SITUATION. AS LONG AS SOMEONE HAS ILSIONS OR IDEALS AT IT CAN BE CHAED, WE WILL BE NOWHERE.

>> Report: BACK IN KOZARAC, YOU GET A DIFFERENT PICTUREF BONIA'S CURRENT CRISIS. ONE WHE THE PROBLEM ISN'T ROOTED IN ENICITY, BUT IN THE HALLS OF GOVERNMENT. SABAHUDIN GARIBOV THINKS A SECURE FUTURIS POSSIBLE ONLY IF ADERS STOP PLAYING POLITICAL GAMES:
