Transcripts For CNN CNN Newsroom 20110422

first, let's talk about libya, and look at who materialized in libya today and wait until you hear what he said. here he is, senator john mccain saying that we need to be in deeper. that's right. the u.s. should be more deeply involved in the war there against moammar gadhafi. take a listen. >> i believe that air power when sufficiently and appropriately used can affect the situation on the battlefield dramatically, and i believe that we should be much more involved and engaged in the air campaign, than we have been. >> cnn's reza siayah there in benghazi. what did you see? >> well, the visit of senator mccain was not publicized, but once he arrived, many were pleased. don't be surprised to see many american flags here in benghazi, because senator mccain came to say what they wanted to hear. today, he visited with the opposition officials and visited freedom square, the heart of the uprising in libya and praised the uprising, and he essentially said that he was there to see what was needed there, and go back to talk to the obama administration and push for help. we had a chance to talk to him, and here is a sense of what he said. >> reporter: senator, the u.s. has been criticizeded for recent years of getting involved in operations and not establishing a clear end game in achieving it. i want you specific in what end game you envision? >> the end game that i envision is a departure of moammar gadhafi. and the libyan people being able to set up a government by themselves with the assistance primarily of the europeans, but also the united states of america. libya is closer to europe, and the europeans have greater ties to libya and greater interests. >> reporter: you say a departure of colonel gadhafi and i want to press you and getting more specific on that, and what does this look like? is that the rebel fighters raiding the south, and him giving up? >> well, one of three things. either he joins chavez in we venezuela or he goes to court and joins hitler and stalin. >> reporter: he is the type of man who says i give up? >> well, it is difficult. it is certainly more unlikely today since he seems to at least for the time being fought the liberation forces to a standstill, to a stalemate. >> so even when we pressed senator mccain, he was not clear what he envisioned as the end game being, but he said that the u.s. should be committed to this military intervention, and again, he believes that the obama administration should do more. brooke. >> those are great questions that you tried to press him on and his interesting choice to send them to the hague to the international court. and let me ask you, because we may be seeing more american flags there in libya, but the thing was turned over to nato and we said, we will help you, but this is your deal, and the question is do the rebels that you spoke with believe they can topple gadhafi, themselves, without more active u.s. involvement, and reza keeping in mind that the u.s. has now promised $25 million in aid and now from secretary gates we are hearing that we will be sending in armed drones. >> yeah, brooke. i think that beyond what the oppositions and the rebels are saying, all you have to do is to look at the facts on the battlefield, and it is clear that at this point the rebel forces don't have the kancapabiy and the capacity to take on a professional army like the gadhafi army, because they are outmatched and outgun and still calling everyday for heavier weapons. this week, of course, washington coming out with the announcement that they are going to be using unmanned predator drones. that could help in places of misrata where the regime is using tactics of placing weaponry in heavily-populated area. will that shift things and give power to the rebels on the battlefield? senator mccain said there are no indications or guarantees that could be a game-changer, but he said they will be effective. so, as far as right now is earn -- is concerned, and the evidence on the battlefield, this is an uphill battle for the rebel forces. >> we know for senator mccain vouched for the rebel forces and calling them heroes, and saying they are not al qaeda, and you have been there in the rebel stronghold of benghazi, and how are the rebel groups unfolding and are you seeing democracy at all take hold? >> well, look,en in o even in tl where we are staying, there are diplomatic discussions being held, but the test is when and if the gadhafi regime is toppled and when and if they have an opportunity to submit a constitution and have elections and have rivalries vying for power and that has not happened yet. at this point, the members of the opposition, the purpose is the mission, and they are aligned, and that is the toppling of colonel gadhafi, so now that the mission is easy, agreeing is easy. will it be this easy once the gadhafi regime is done and they have to go through the political process, the difficulty and the challenges of democracy, that remains to be seen. >> and how in the world gadhafi would go. reza, thank you for reporting from benghazi. and senator mccain saying we need to get in deep, and let's go to the pentagon to barbara starr. you know, we know that senator mccain is over there saying we need to send in the big war hogs and the attack planes, so is there any inclination of the pentagon to go back in again? >> well, think of it as this kind of military strategy, brooke, sorry, we are having a little technical problem in my ear there, but think of it as a military problem. what do you do with air power? you can only do so much. even if you send in the ac-130s and send in the other aircraft, air power, nato says, will not solve the problem. the drones, the predator drones, that i will do la-- they will d little bit more, but you are talking about forces on the ground, gadhafi forces dug in, and using camouflage to disguise themselves and mixing in with the population forces and making it uf the tough to come after tm the air, so even if the aircraft gets called back in, they go into the cities where the forces are mixed together, and so how do you get bat that problem without inadvertently killing civilians. that is the challenge of nato right now on the air power question. >> and the word stalemate that the senator used today, and is there concern at the pentagon, barbara, or perhaps within the administration that this thing would drag on and if it does, a, we will look like we are sitting on the sidelines or possibly, b, sucked back in? >>le wiell, those are the choices, and stalemate is word called around here. and reza was right, what do you do to change the dynamic on the ground? how do you make the rebels better able to shift into a mode of success without the training, the weapons, the organization and the communications? can they really be changing the game themselves by all accounts they cannot. air power, again, does not solve it, so that the pressure will grow on nato and the obama administration perhaps as there is more and more tragedy on the civilians in libya to do something about it, but the administration right now, the white house, the pentagon, very adamant, no u.s. boots on the ground, and right now, they say they will stick to that, brooke. >> very clearly stick to that. barbara starr at the pentagon. thank you, barbara. and now, new photos released by the fbi. this is the guy. this is the man they are calling a possible suspect in wednesday's attempted mall bombing in colorado. we will take you live to littleton with new details today on this. also, we are getting new information about the kindergarten, and remember the story a couple of days ago who brought a gun to school, and the gun goes off and injures three students. well, guess what, the gun might not have just dropped to the cafeteria floor afterall. more on that next. in 2011, at&, building up our wireless network all across america. we're adding new cell sites... increasing network capacity... and making a substantial investment to improve your wireless network experience. from a single phone call to the most advanced data download, we're covering more people in more places than ever before in an effort to give you the best network possible. at&t. rethink possible.

[ male announcer ] engine light on? come to meineke now for a free code scan read and you'll say... my money. my choice. my meineke. , so we are getting new photographs of the possible suspect here in that failed bomb plot at a colorado mall. they were taken on a bus that left the mall and take a long look here, because the police want you to take this in and do you recognize this man here in the striped shirt and the ball cap? they don't have a name for him and they are obviously still trying to track him down. here is another picture, and he is sitting down, and the ball cap is off. these pictures are from a surveillance camera at a southwest plaza mall in an area that is not normally open to the public. the same man is carrying a bag in the right hand. these pictures were taken minutes before the pipe bomb was found with the propane tanks and all of this, and bear this in mind that it happened on the 12th anniversary of the massacre at columbine high school, and the cool is less than two miles from this mall. i want to bring in ted rowlands who is out there for us in littleton, colorado. ted, yesterday, you know, this guy was considered a person of interest and now the fbi calling him a possible suspect, and are the authorities any closer to identifying him today? >> well, it is hard to imagine, brooke, when you look at the clarity of the new photos they have released that they won't have this person's identity fairly quickly. the first set of images that were released from inside of the mall here, and a little fuzzy and tough to see, but boy, these ones taken off of this bus, this guy apparently took a bus from the mall on wednesday, and these are pretty clear, so one would think that if the fbi doesn't already know his identity, that is soon coming. >> and a whole other layer to the pictures and as i mentioned this whole thing happening on the 12th anniversary of columbine when a teacher was killed, dave sanders, and his widow was actually has been out speaking about this bomb plot and she was there, and does she at all think that there is a connection of what happened on the mall wednesday and what happened 12 years ago? >> yeah, absolutely. if the you think about it, the widow was here at the mall during the bomb scare. and she has come out and said, that she absolutely thinks that there is a connection, and in fact, she takes ate step further s -- take it step further saying that because the school was closed down for that day, she thinks that a lot of the students were here at the mall and that might be connected. here is what she said. >> it scared me. we were in there. we were inside of there. just because time has gone by for something like this, i think that we need to be aware that we need to hype up or whatever you want to say the security around this date. or around the date of any of our tragedies, because there's copycats out there. >> ted, how did she describe being in the mall with her daughters, and what was the scene like? you mentioned a lot of the kids from the high school were there and it must have been pretty panicy? >> yeah. she was with her daughter and granddaughters apparently, and you will hear her say she was frightened and it was scary, because everybody here knows when it is the anniversary to columbine. and around the world people forget about it and you have to be remembered that it is april 20th, but everybody here knows about it and everybody in the mall knew about it, and so that, as you can imagine, puts a little bit more anxiety into everybody in an event like this, and they still have it now, because they don't know who it was and why this person would have tried to hurt people on that anniversary. >> well, you are right, and that the new pictures are crystal clear of the guy and hopefully the police and the fbi will get a couple of helpful phone calls as a result of it. thank you, ted rowlands, in can colorado. and a 6-year-old brings a loaded gun to school this week and goes off and injures several students. police say they know where the gun came from and they are changing the story that apparently the gun didn't just fall out of the 6-year-old's pocket. nd?

[ female announcer ] new from neutrogena naturals. oh, those gas prices. six states and washington, d.c. now have gas prices above $4 a gallon and taking a look nationwide here, the average price of regular falls short of the $4 mark at $3.85, but that is almost a full dollar more than where we were one year ago. aaa says that the gas prices have been going up on average just about a dime a week. the states that have already crossed the $4 mark, and maybe this is you, hawaii, california, alaska, connecticut, illinois and new york. president obama as we have reported has ordered this task force to keep an eye on the oil traders and speculators to see if any fraud is behind the gas hikes. you remember the story that we told you earlier in the week of the 6-year-old boy in houston, texas, brings a gun to school and fell out of the pocket and firing once it hit the floor. na was the initial report. a couple of classmates got shot, 5 years old and 6 years old and the boy who brought the gun got shot in his foot. but there is new information turns out that the gun may not have fallen out of his pocket anyway, because the "houston chronicle" reports that the boy was showing off the gun when it went off. it is a 9 millimeter pistol, and they believe that the gun belonged to am fally friend and not a parent. they say that the family friend and the boy's parents could face criminal charges. and now this. more people are dying as protests escalate. this is seeria, and security forces opening fire on civilian, and i'm just getting in new information as to how many people have been killed there. that is ahead. also, it is a case police could not crack for years. but then, one investigator made a shocking discovery as he looked at a couple of pictures of gang members, including this one. i will show you what it is about this picture that has solved this case. that is next. all right. let's look at some of the other top stories here. in syria, security forces fired on anti-government demonstrators there, and at least 43 people have been killed in cities and suburbs from damascus, and the number is quickly rising. dozens more are injure and thousands of the syrian protesters took to the streets after muslims' weekly prayers. and hosni mubarak is expected to stay in detention for another 30 days. there is a team sent in to question mubarak to day, because he is accused of being responsible for the deaths of hundreds of protesters in the january revolution thatp toppled him from power. the ailing ex-president is in a hospital at shearn al shake. . >> and felicia barnes was found in a maryland river. she has been missing since december, and she disappeared when she went to baltimore to visit a half sister. a body of a man was also found in the river three miles from hers. put this in the stupid criminal files, shall we? look at this tattoo which depicts an actual murder scene right down to the christmas lights on the liquor store and wait for it, because we will show you a better picture. it stumped los angeles investigators, but this tattoo on the l.a. member's tattoo reopened the cold case, and this guy here was convicted of the murder and he will be sentenced next month. they ran in when everybody else ran out, but now 9/11 first responders are saying, hang on, if you want treatment, you have to be screened to make sure you are not a terrorist first. what? we are digging deeper into this. i will ask a 9/1 1 firefighters first responder about this. and now, what the shg, whats to say about the tapes. network. we're adding new cell sites... increasing network capacity... and making a substantial investment to improve your wireless network experience. from a single phone call to the most advanced data download, we're covering more people in more places than ever before in an effort to give you the best network possible. at&t. rethink possible. so, you got a chevy malibu. nice. a consumers digest best buy three years in a row. and an epa-estimated 33 miles per gallon highway. and what does your neighbor have? a bad case of car envy. you ready for this? remember the big fight in congress over compensating folks who fell ill while working at ground zero tirelessly days and weeks afterwards? well, a lot of the folks who were out there risking their lives day in, day out, they will receive letters saying that the government needs to check their personal information. why? to make sure they are not terrorists. yes, you heard correctly. this is first reported by the "huffington post" today, and cliff stearns from florida added this to the health and compensation law. stearns says in a statement that the funds from the law are not just for first responders, but anyone who was near ground zero and might have been affected. and he says that we cannot have terrorists receiving government benefits and the amendment went through without any opposition. and i will talk to a first responder about the letter he is about to be sent, but first to mary snow who has done some digging for us. mary? >> well, brooke, this is not going over very well here in new york among the 9/11 responders and earlier we spoke with john steel, the head of the foundation who is an advocate for the 9/11 responders and he had been working with a steel demolition company at the site of ground zero and lost half a foot in an accident, and he has been an advocate ever since, and he is just calling this nonsense. take a listen. >> when you risk your life without prejudice for this great nation, for this great city, and we are going over ten year, where you risk your life without wondering about your own health and then get a letter in the mail asking if you are a terrorist? i mean, you are adding salt to a closed wound that has not closed in 9 1/2 years. >> and you know, he spent a lot of time in washington with lawmakers, and he was aware that this amendment was in the bill. as you mentioned, this is a very contentious bill to be passed because there were a lot of amendments to be talked about, but what he said is that he never thought this would come to fruition, and what is happening now is that the 9/111 responders and the people working at ground zero who want to apply for the health benefits and the new program kicking in july, and as part of the new program, they are going to be getting these letters saying that their personal information is going to be checked against this terroriterror ism ta base. >> so, mary, for the folks who are opposing the screening process, will they take action? >> well, i talked to john feal earlier and he says it is a done deal and it has passed. it was a hurdle to get it passed and the thing he is asking for now is a copy of what the letter looks like, and in it, it says that it mentions the word terrorist watch list and he is saying at the very list what he is asking is that lawmakers will help him to change the wording and at the very least get it to changed to department of homeland security but at the very least take terrorist out of it. >> and let's ask first responder james rooider w er wrider who h the letter, but heard the story. how does this sit for you? >> blew my mind. no reason or justification or logic behind it. >> you were at the ground zero the days and weeks and months after 9/11 and let me throw it at you, because this is what some are saying, is it within the realm of possibility that terrorists could have been there as well as observers? >> as a police officer, you are trained that the perp could be standing in front of you, and yes, it is possible, but logical that he is here looking f g foi assistance from the government because he ran into the fire while everybody else ran out? it does not make sense. >> and if you have nothing to hide, this is no big deal, what do you think? >> well, it is not a safeguard and it is cliff stearns doing whatever he can do in his little mind to figure out it is important, but he needs to apologize no the first responders and the very brave people who responded in there on that day and let them know that this is about patriotism and not politics. what his logic is makes no sense. it is queer and illogical and inappropriate. to use terrorism as a word associated with the responders. >> i know that you know mr. feal and you are part of the foundation and you heard mary say that as part of the letter if they could change the wording and instead of saying comparing or checking you guys against the terrorist watch list you could change the language, what would you like to change? because this is a done deal for all intents and purposes it sounds like. >> right. it is a done deal, but it is broken. that is typical of our government sometimes. you don't want to watch it being made, and this is one of the examples, but terrorism needs to be out there, and we understand it is going to be in there and we also understand that when the responders get it, they are dealing with post-traumatic stress and other issues and they can't pay the mortgage because they are taking 40 pills a day, and paying for the medication, this could be another stress on their lives and because of people like cliff stearns and others like him. >> people can point the fingers to cliff stearns, but the amendment sailed through whatever side of the political aisle you are on, and it didn't face opposition from the democrats, and he is obviously a republican. i do want to ask you in talking to the colleagues, is it majority of folks opposed to this or minor i the ities say, is okay. how does that shake out among your friends? >> among my friends within the 9/11 community, it is wrong. among my friends in the 9/11 community, it is inappropriate and causes stress and unhealthiness for the people that they don't deserve. >> before i let you go, james, how are you doing healthwise? >> i'm doing a lot better than a lot of my friends. i just lost another friend the other day, who last i saw two weeks ago and i am trying to help his wife deal with this. i will never compare myself to the others who are worse than me, but am i sickened by 9/11, absolutely. i don't sleep well at all and i wake up 70 times a night according to theests the i have had, but it is nothing in comparison to losing your life. i am lucky to be here to enjoy my children. >> james ryder i salute you for all of the work you have done and apologize for the loss of your friend. thank you so much for being with us. what kate middleton will not be saying in the royal sar mcer. and troops lip syncing to britney spears. and she has tweeted about it. and first, we want to look at people who have achieved extraordinary things while overcoming obstacles. today, dr. sanjay gupta will introduce us to somebody who can add tv host to his resume. >> i come from a creative family, because my mother is a playwright and my mother made videos, too. >> reporter: when he was growing up, zach knew he wanted to work in film. >> it was always like, whatever you want to do, we can find a which to do it. >> reporter: and now at 26, he lives in austin and spends his days writing, editing and brainstorming with the production and support team, his friends. a year ago, austin and really the rest of the country didn't know who zach was, and then he decided to enter a contest. to become oprah winfrey's next tv talk show star. >> how old were you when you figured out that you were different from the other kids? >> i knew i had a wheelchair obviously. they didn't shield that from me. but -- >> reporter: as a result of the contest, oprah gave zach his own travel show scheduled to air later this year. >> taking life as it comes and whatever you run into, you learn to roll with it. >> reporter: and rolling with life's obstacles is just what zach does. zach has cerebral palsy which is a neurological disease which affects the brain's ability to control body movements, but having cp never stopped him from doing what he wants to do. >> everybody has problems is what i always say. like, mine, are no bigger than anyone else's, and that is the message that i want to get across. what i have to deal is with is really small this the scheme of things. >> reporter: zach gives his family credit for not dwelling on the disability. he hopes to someday be an inspiration to others and says he is not there, and has this advice. >> i would say to anybody who feels really like they are bogged down by their obstacles, just really think of who you are without those. and imagine yourself doing what you love to do, because that will drive you to do things that you never thought that you were capable of. >> reporter: dr. sanjay gupta, cnn, reporting.

>> yes, it will be. after the two or three-year mark, he will get some credit applications from people with high-credit marks. and after the seven-year mark, he might be able to secure some debt, which is harder to get, so he needs to get back in good standing and go the annual credit reports to dispute the erroneous claims and write a letter in terms of describing why he went into bankruptcy, and when he applies for a loan, the lender can hear his side of the story and maybe get that loan. >> okay. next question is from carla in missouri. i have student loans for mier wh -- my daughter when she started college. if i take $2,000 out of my 401(k) each year to pay for these loan, how much will that hurt me? >> well, when you take money out of the 401(k), at a minimum, you have to pay taxes and a penalty on it. if you take the money out of the 401(k) to pay for college tuition, you still pay the taxes, but not a penalty. but when you pay the debt, you have to pay it all. now, the hurt doesn't end there, because now you are taking money out of an account that could have grown for decades on a tax-deferred basis. so you want to really find some other way for the money. one way might be to cut back on the contributions to the retirement account or look at other assets. i would look elsewhere. >> and the student has time on top of it to make the money back. thank you, gentlemen, for the advice on this one. if you want an answer, send us an e-mail any time to cchelpdesk@cnn.com. impressive resume. thank you. you know what, tell me, what makes peter, peter ?

those are the infamous recordings of mel gibson's rant against his ex-girlfriend. and the actor is now breaking his silence for first time since those recordings were leaked about a year ago giving interviews to the online site deadlinehollywood. mel gibson has expressed the regret and says that the recordings were taken out of context and cleverly edited. he goes on the quote saying it is one terribly awful moment in time said to one person in the span of one day and does not represent what i truly believe or how i have treated people in my entire life, end quote. and now to charlie sheen, hitting up baseball field, and there he goes at a college in atlanta, before his live one-man show in town last night. sheen worked out with the georgia tech baseball team, and in fact, he told the reporter he enjoys being on the baseball field more than being on stage. take a listen. >> reporter: would you rather be out here playing ball than doing shows? is this your true passion? >> yeah. i mean, i'm more comfortable out here than i am up there, but i use a lot of the analogies that connect the two. >> reporter: why more comfortable out here? >> just because it is more fun. >> so, several sorority girls showed up to invite him to a party, and he tweeted this morning, he was sor he could ry not make it. and the royal wedding and security is tight across the pond, and you know it has to be right, but security preparations are very different in the way that major events are handled here in the united states. days before the wedding the queen has now met with kate middleton's parents, kate and michael middleton, and she and prince philip hosted a private lunch at windsor castle. contributor mark saunders has been covering the british family for 25 years. i want to talk security here in a second, mark, but tell me why the luncheon with the middle tons at windsor castle was such a big deal. >> well, the fact that it took place at windsor castle and remember that this is the queen's home. this is windsor castle where she lives and buckingham palace is the office. so the middle tons have entered a inner sangt tum and um and we it is delightful lunch. and if you meet the queen corgie, you really are friends with the queen. >> much to do. i want to ask about something more important. that being security. you have experience covering security. not just in london but here in the united states. and how different will it be in london and what about fears of terrorism? >> i don't think there's any fear of terrorism. remember, most of the british army at some point, there's a massive police presence. and thousand i'm not allowed to go into detail, there will be armed police officers in uniform, not just police uniform but with what was the uniform worn by the various members of the royal household. and i think they are more concerned with -- there has been threats from groups of anarchists saying that they are going to demonstrate against the whole process of having a royal wedding. but if they tried something like that, nobody wants to see this wedding ruined. >> well, let's hope that the anarchists will not get in the way. there are three runs for the dress to go to buckingham palace. >> they are trying to out fox the paparazzi. if you remember last week, we were talking about this. i mentioned that the hotel has a very wide front and a chance that we're going to see the wedding dress before she gets into the car. well, it appears that they might be taking her out the back because it was taken out the back of the hotel. we hear there's going to be a military operation to get the dress from buckingham palace to the hotel which is going to involve three decoys. so it's intriguing and, to be honest, i'm quite baffled by it. >> wait. i have to follow up on that. just so i'm hearing you right, there are going to be decoys on the day had so they think that could be the dress? >> not on the day. it's before the day. remember, on the day of the wedding, it will be impossible. all of the rows are going to be shut off. this could happen on thursday. it could happen as early as wednesday. but i was at the hotel earlier today and there are 100s all trying to get that one picture. >> i'm sure they are. on a much more somber note, we know that will and kate visited diana's grave recently. what can you tell me about that? >> yes. this was heavily reported in the london press. we haven't got a date, but apparently william and katherine did go down to the island grave of princess diana, william's late mother. it was said to be a very poignant moment. william is going to have his way to make sure his mother is involved in this wedding. we remember the incredible engagement ring that he gave katherine in the first place. i think this is a very special moment between the two of them. sadly, diana is never going to get to meet katherine, which is a great shame. >> i have one question. am i being rude if i call her kate? do i need to call her katherine? >> i'm still trying to get my name heard so i do as i'm told. but most people are saying kate. i'm saying katherine. >> one final question about katherine. there is one specific katherine that will not be saying in her vows. what is that word and why? >> well, this is the word obey in the marriage service there comes a point where the bribe promises to love, honor, and obey her husband. now, back in 1981, princess diana said she refused to say it and it was taken out. lead into 100 headlines, di won't obey and let's be honest, brooke, she never did. and the same headlines have appeared this way. katherine is not going to say the word obey. katherine won't obey. >> katherine won't obey, following in diana's steps with that one. mark, such a pleasure. i'm sure we'll be talking about william and katherine. thanks so much. >> thank you. the count down is, of course, the most anticipated wedding in decades. we're going to cover it like no one else. this sunday at 8:00 p.m. eastern. cnn presents the women who would be queen. and then on friday, april 29th, 4:00 a.m., get your coffee ready. tune in for cnn's royal wedding experience. watch it, dvr it, participate. every unforgettable moment live from london. coming up now, the feds releasing new photos of a possible suspect in the possible bomb threat. are they getting any closer to finding this guy?

[ male announcer ] if you can't afford your medication, astrazeneca may be able to help. now for your cnn political update. let's go to candy crowley joining me for the political ticker. miss controlly, good friday to you. >> how are you? >> good. >> we have a couple of items that i'm going to draw your attention to on our ticker now. one of them is about an increasing pessimism in the country just this month. there have been four national polls taken that show that americans seem to be more and more worried about the direction that the country is taking. the latest from the new york times in cbs news shows that 70% of americans polled said they believe the country is on the wrong track. that is a phenomenal number. it's 12 points up from february which leads some people to believe that gas prices have added to the economic angst of the country. i can tell you that pollsters pay a lot of attention to right direction and wrong attention. the general feel of the public is very influential. it appears at this point that president obama, certainly while paying for some of this, his approval rating ranks a lot higher than the members of congress do. but nonetheless, 70% of the country thinking that it is headed in the wrong direction. shows there is a lot of grump peaness and pessimism about the country. john ensign, he is resigning as of may. had he been embroiled in a sex scandal. he admitted to having an affair with someone on his staff and that his parents gave money to his staffer and her husband and their family. there was an ongoing ethics committee investigation. ensign said in his fairly lengthy press release about this that he just didn't want to subject his family to this any longer. even though he had been -- the case itself does not appear to being investigated outside of the fbi or justice department or anything like that. what is good news for the republicans in this, a, they take a possible very bad ethics committee report off the table because they just say he's already gone and that's his individual problem. and, b., there's a republican governor in nevada. he can appoint a republican and put him -- install him in that senate seat and give him a leg up for 2012 for that senate seat. so they didn't want to lose that one. in some ways the republican party certainly gained by getting this off its tables, brooke. >> we'll look a little more into senator ensign leading with joe johns later in the hour. we have another political update in half an hour. but for now, watch this. it's not entirely clear who the rebels are in libya. i'm brooke baldwin. the news is now. a shocking revelation, government forces in bahrain accused of targeting hospitals. attacking doctors, patients, and unarmed civilians. amber li amber lyon is with me live. a high schooler pulls off a fake pregnancy. who knew the secret. i sit down with the stars of bridesmaid. plus, the best part of coming home. hello, once again. i'm brooke baldwin. a major development out of colorado i want to pass along. someone tried to unleash terror. take a good, long look at these photos. the fbi is trying to hunt down this man. he's now no longer a person of interest. he's considered a suspect with two days after a suspect left a pipe bomb in the mall. it was discovered 12 years to the day of those shootings. we have a reporter live on the ground in littleton. we'll bring you that information coming up. first, this. big, big news here out of libya today. the unexpected arrival of -- there he is, senator john mccain. now, mccain is there. he's saying the united states needs to get more deeply involved militarily than it is right now. reza caught up with the senator and this is what he had to say. >> senator, the u.s. has been criticized in recent years. getting involved in operations and not establishing a clear end game and achieving it, i want you to be specific. in what end game you envision? >> end game that i envision is a departure of moammar gadhafi and the lib yan people being able to set up a government by themselves with the assistance primarily of the europeans but also the united states of america. the europeans have greater ties to libya and greater interest. >> you say the departure of colonel gadhafi, what does that look like? is this the rebel raiding his house? is he saying, i give up? >> that means one of three things. either he joins hugo chavez and goes international criminal court which is my preference or he joins hitler and stalin. >> but based on what you know about him, is he the kind of man where he says, i give up? >> i think it would be very difficult and certainly more unlikely today since he seems to at least for the time being fought the liberation forces to a standstill. so a stalemate. >> again, that was the senator speaking today in benghazi. the senator is also saying that the u.s. needs to get in more deeply to break the stalemate. i want to bring in barbara starr live at the pentagon. we're now in deeper in libya than we were at the start of the week. it was $25 million in aid and that was yesterday and now announcing that we're sending in the unmanned drones. are the drones, barbara, seen as a game changer, something that could break both the pentagon and senator mccain's word, a stalemate? is it possible? >> well, that's really interesting, brooke, because stalemate is the word that you're hearing on all sides now. stalemate between the opposition and the gadhafi forces, stalemate and would they really change the game on the ground? just look at the last 48 hours and i think it's an example of how tough it will be. the predators have already flown but not fired any of their weapons because the weather is too bad. poor conditions, they can't see any targets to fire at. we've been talking for the last couple of days about the other part of this. an escalation in nato air strikes. but, look, that hasn't materialized yet either. i've talked to a nato official who says the frustration is significant. that a number of targets that they thought they were going to be able to go after have either moved or dug in or gadhafi is disguising them. how is he disguising them? his forces are now heavily mixed in with civilian populations in the cities and the official says it's totally unacceptable for nato to go into the cities right now from the air because they can't distinguish between civilian and military population, civilian and military targets. that's why you have a stalemate. the last 48 hours, one of the biggest examples of it. so even with more aid to the rebels, the 25 million, even with the predators, hard to see what will change that situation on the ground, brooke. >> but in the last 48 hours, we've been hearing, no boots on the ground, no boots on the ground but mccain is talking about sending in warplanes are they ruling that out completely? >> no, not completely. they will use them but, again, we're talking about the challenges. you can't really solve it with air power because you can't always see the targets. you can't distinct wish between civilian and military and once again yesterday, defense secretary robert gates ruled out troops on the ground. he said that the u.s. is busy enough in afghanistan and iraq, still hoping in japan and it's going to have to be, he says, the lib yan people that get moammar gadhafi out of the office. >> thank you so much. >> sure. let's go. a florida man is dead after being tased by police officers near universal park. he was causing some sort of a disturbance and became violent when two off-duty officers tried to arrest him. >> i tried to calm him down and at one point he grabbed the officers. they ended up tussling with him. >> police say they tasered the man before they handcuffed him. the man became unresponsive while on the ground and was pronounced dead at the hospital. hosni mubarak is expected to remain in custody for another 15 days. the general prosecutor's office sent a team to question mubarak today. he's accused of being responsible for hundreds of protesters back in january during the revolution that toppled him from power. the ailing ex-president is at a hospital and could be moved to prison next week if he's well enough. to washington state. drama plays out on the water. if you look very closely, the driver hops out of there, manages to escape and pops into the water. she swam to shore. she's doing fine. she's lucky the motor didn't explode because it would have erupted right in her direction. over to indiana, the hoosiers state where two lucky friends are millionaires after hitting a $227 million powerball jackpot. >> i always check in the mornings because if i hit it i wouldn't go to work. >> nice. the men had been pooling their money for a couple of years before they hit the jackpot. note to self, go in with friends. a nice surprise from kid rock to do nate cash to the school's music program and had a little kid rock advice. >> if you surround yourself with good people, you go far. if you start hanging out with knuckle heads, you'll be in the knuckle head section for the rest of your life. on to an even better surprise. nothing quite like it. a soldier surprising his daughter for easter in the middle of her high school there in florida. they had not seen each other since january. he's only back from afghanistan for a short visit. >> i feel relieved that he's okay. and i missed him a lot. >> it's like every letter i write her, we e-mail back and forth, it's always, you're my whole world. big hug, big kisses. >> i'm really happy he's home and i love you daddy, i've missed you. >> i love you, too. >> awesome, awesome stuff. from one high school to another, a 17-year-old girl manages to pull off quite a stunt. she tricks people into thinking she's pregnant. not just for one month, two month, three months, for six months. we're going to hear from the girl about why she did it, who else was in on this thing. wait until you hear how she revealed the truth to her high school. plus, police could not crack a murder case. no answers for more than four years and then one investigator makes a shocking discovery. flip through pictures of gang members, find out how this tattoo on this guy's chest changed everything. that is next. building up our wireless network all across america. we're adding new cell sites... increasing network capacity... and making a substantial investment to improve your wireless network experience. from a single phone call to the most advanced data download, we're covering more people in more places than ever before in an effort to give you the best network possible. at&t. rethink possible. to say that this story caught our attention is a bit of an understatement. a girl fakes a pregnancy for a social experiment. here is this story. >> it was bound to happen any way and i knew she was going to get pregnant. >> rampant rumors grew as big as her belly. >> she just ruined her life. >> 17 and pregnant. >> she did a lot of crying. >> is no fun for this top finish high school. >> when she said pregnant, i was like, what? are you serious? are you crazy? >> not nuts or pregnant. gabby has spent most of her senior year faking pregnancy for statistics. >> i started wearing baggier clothes and bigger sweaters and sweats. >> reporter: then came the baby bump molded from a basketball. her boyfriend, best friend, mom and principal were among the few in on her secretive senior project. >> i had to lie to my sons and my daughters. >> reporter: every day, gabby attached her homemade bulge, faking depression, taking constant bathroom breaks and battling hurtful remarks about her mom. >> my mom got pregnant at an early age and had to learn from that mistake, so it did really hurt. >> reporter: even her boyfriend's parents didn't know the truth. >> they were just like, disappointed because they were just saying, oh, you know, you're going to have a difficult life now. it's going to be harder to go to college. >> reporter: during an all-school assembly yesterday, gabby dropped the bomb and her belly. >> she took it out and it was dead quiet and a girl in the audience said, what? >> i was just astonished. >> reporter: the 3.8 student apologized for misleading them in her social experiment. >> i learned that the environment that you surround yourself in takes a major toll on your decisions in life. >> reporter: she doesn't plan on having children until after college. >> i'm relieved. i already have 31 grandkids. >> can you imagine? the nonpregnant teen senior prom and we hear she will be wearing a tight-fitting dress. more and more people are dying. more blood is spilling as protests escalate in syria. plus, a new report accuses government officials in bahrain targeting hospitals using tear gases and beat downs to terrorize doctors and patients. your going to hear and see the new evidence that we have. amber lyon will have that for us next. security forces opened fire on demonstrators, killing at least 43 people. it's the latest confrontation between government forces. even before today's marches, more than 228 people have been killed since the demonstrations started last month happening on this tiny kingdom, an international humanitarian crisis today bahrain is here and since february, unarmed protesters and civilians have been beaten, tear gassed, tortured and detained. today, physicians for human rights, reveals that the government's newest targets doctors and nurs. the group says security forces detained and tortured more than 30 doctors and medics since the uprising began and calls it horrific, systematic, and surreal. joining me now is amber lyon. why target physicians? >> they say it's because they are on the front lines treating the wounded civilians and protesters and they are eyewitnesss and credible eyewitnesss at that to what positions of human rights is calling astros teas committed by the government. >> what type of atrocities? >> they say that patients are being beaten and say that they have forensic evidence -- this is the first human rights report to come out with forensic evidence that the government has been shooting bird shot into the villages and tear gassing unarmed civilians. >> so i'm hearing you say you added patients in there. it's doctors, nurses, patients. you have a response now from the bahraini government. what are they saying? >> they say that they are not attacking doctors and patients. >> they say they are not? >> they are not doing it. they haven't denied arresting more than 30 doctors but they are not beating them and say the reason they have an intense military presence at the hospital is because they blame protesters for taking over the hospital during the heat of the unrest. but one thing is for sure, brooke, there are 30 doctors, right now, their families do not know where they are. they were violently arrested by security forces and one of these doctors was arrested during the middle of performing a surgery. his family has not heard from him since. >> it's hard to wrap your head around these reports. >> it is. >> and grave breaches in international law. >> they say that they are violating the principle of medical and international laws and calling on the u.n. and u.s. to push for an investigation. they say that even if you are in a war zone, doctors and patients should be safeguarded and that that is not happening. they documented one case where about a dozen patients were drug by security forces, phr says, out of their beds, up to the sixth floor of this main hospital in town and tortured and then forced to confess to things that phr says they didn't do. >> so this is a report, just out today, so maybe it's too early. but has the state department, has the u.n. responded whatsoever? >> due to the holiday coming up, there hasn't been much response quite yet. but one thing is for sure, it's definitely making -- creating a lot of noise. and getting more people to focus on what is going on in bahrain right now because i've been on your show several times talking about this. this is not the first credible international human rights organization to come out and say that the bahraini government is committing atrocities against its citizens and now doctors in this case. >> you and i were talking about this woman who said her husband and her father were detained in bahrain and she was so furious she was on a hunger strike as a result. here's what she told you last week. >> all i want from the american administration -- i don't want them to save the people of bahrain. all i want them is to stop supporting the regime who have proved now more than other that they are corrupt, that they care only about and willing to kill and torture -- >> what's the update, amber, on her and her husband and father? >> well, that was zainab, and her father, an internationally known activist. on her tenth day of her hunger strike, her father called. >> she had been to the hospital? >> yes. she refused an i.v. and went back home and was lying in bed and that's when the family was put in touch with her father after numerous human rights organizations complained. they were able to speak with him for about a minute. and he told them he wanted clothes, mouth wash, and going on trial the next day. the next day they brought him the supplies and also to see if they could attend his trial and they say that's when they were told there would be no trial and they haven't talked to her father since. but she has ended the hunger strike. >> she has? >> she says now she's going to focus on raising awareness as to what is going on in bahrain. >> amber lyon, thank you so much. >> thanks, brooke, for having me on. back here at home, gas prices going up, president obama's approval rating going down. might there also be a connection?

>> well, he really energized the opposition when he came here and restated washington's position that colonel gadhafi must be removed from power. when we asked him, what is that going to look like, how is he going to be ousted from fire, are they going to raid his complex and arrest him, perhaps, or simply going to say, i give up. senator mccain was very frank and said it would be difficult. that's why we asked him about the possibility of a political solution between the opposition and the regime and here's what he had to say. the libyan foreign ministry has said, we can do an interim government with all things on the table, including the removal of conolel gadhafi. and it's obligatory and i guess -- >> your mission is to end the loss of civilian and said he was going to go house and there's no doubt about what gadhafi will do to his own people about his own people and that's not settlement. that's a massacre. many in the u.s. as well as the international community are very concerned about where this conflict is going and how it's going to end and he doesn't believe he's going to be a political solution with colonel gadhafi still in power. he's going to go back to washington and continue to press the obama situation to do more here in libya. >> still, we keep hearing and reza, thank you. from libya to littleton to colorado. the fbi hunt for the culprit behind the failed pipe bomb plot. ted rowlands has new pictures. i tell you what, the photos today compared to yesterday, they are much more clear. are authorities any closer to figuring out who this guy is? >> reporter: well, we just checked in and nothing new there. still asking for the public's help and identifies this suspect. they are calling him a suspect now and that's a big difference and now with the new photos they are calling him a suspect. these pictures were taken in a bus and shortly after the fire in the bomb scare, they say that this guy is now a suspect which means they desperately want to talk to him and as of this hour he has not been identified by the fbi. >> ted, i understand that you actually have some canisters. were these pieces of evidence? what do you have? >> yes, i do. we talked to the guy that actually found this report of the smoke and went in and saw the flames. and you know we were told that they were propane tanks. these are what they were. they were propane canisters and identified them for us. they were not these ones. the ones that were involved with this have been shipped to virginia. it gives you an indication of how someone could lug in canisters into a mall without being seen. they are relatively small and could have gotten them in there. he had a pipe bomb filled with black powder and started a black fire, apparently. that gives you an indication of what the device was that was on fire when it was put out. >> and the fact, let's not underplay this. the fact that it happened on the 12-year anniversary of the high school massacre. are police thinking that it's a mere coincidence or do they think it's more? >> well, officially they are not saying, because they don't have any proof that it is more, however, there are not a lot of pipe bombs in malls in littleton, colorado, two miles from columbine. it was the anniversary. clearly it is something that is a possible motive. you talk to people in this community, it was the community and understandably it was unnerved about that. >> they brought in pipe bombs to the high school 12 years ago. thank you so much. that's a reporter roulette for this friday. now a brutal police beating caught on video. a jury will decide their fate. plus, police could not serve a murder case. an investigator started flipping through pictures and made a shocking discovery and it has everything to do with this guy's photo and more importantly, his tattoo. take a good long look at this tattoo. there it is. when investigators saw this, it looked strangely familiar. all the way back to 2 # 004 and police even get this admitted as evidence. years and years after the fact. >> isn't that something? it really is just cold casework. just dog it police work. tenacious police work. basically, this detective never forgot about it. detective kevin lloyd worked the case in 2004 and never forgot about it. saw a picture of this gentlemen. we can call him a gentlemen. and saw that tattoo and something sort of clicked. they have then put a sting together, brooke. they had an undercover officer go into the prison cell with him. they bragged about the crime. fast forward to trial. this picture comes in, the jury got to listen to him brag about the jailhouse tape and resulted in a conviction. it was really just good, darn police work. >> so kudos to the investigator. but i kind have been saying, file this one away. the stupid criminal file. is this an example of how dumb some crooks and criminals can be. or a testament to these killings that they would take pride in, or both? >> i think it's a combination of both, actually. i used to think when i was a prosecutor, could the criminal be that stupid? it's a combination of the basically putting a confession, tattooed a confession. >> and everything at that liquor store?

>> well, he did find that but also found that a jury could possibly agree that this officer was within bounds when he did what he did here. i think what the judge said and i do have the decision here, he says it could go both ways. yes, there could be evidence of abuse and yes there could be evidence or a jury could find that what happened here wasn't excessive and wasn't appropriate. this is the case that is going to go to the jury. let them decide. >> it all depends on which set of eyes is against them. thank you for watching and have a good weekend. now this. >> is this a chick flick?
