>> i know it happens, but you don't get to witness it. >> the really important thing after meeting you and seeing this in action is the incredible power of you as a role model now for deaf people in america. incredible. this show must have transformed that for you. a real i extraordinary interview to watch. now here's anderson cooper with "ac 360." >> thank you very much. good evening. we begin with breaking news in the sex scandal. dominique strauss-kahn, the former head of the international monetary fund, accused of sexually assaulting a hotel maid, will be out of jail in a few hours. he was granted bail this afternoon, but taken back to new york city's rikers island jail tonight. he was in a courtroom today as the terms of his bail were revealed. he must put up $1 million in cash and post bond of $5 million, he had to surrender his travel documents and agree to

home detention here in manhattan. he lives in washington. his lawyer argues he's not a flight risk. even though he was arrested on a flight about to leave for paris, the lawyer said it was a prescheduled flight, not a last-minute booking. >> it's indisputed that the police knew his wants is because he called the hotel, the scene of this incident, from jfk airport, to inquire if the hotel had located his cell phone or the hotel advised it had and asked him his whereabouts, which he promptly told them. indeed, he called the hotel a second time, called security a second time to advise that the plane was boarding and to urge the hotel delivery people to please promptly bring his cell phone. >> before the hearing got under way, he was indicted observe charges. he's accused of attacking a maid

on saturday. the prosecutor argued that the evidence is strong. >> the complainant in this case has offered a compelling and unwavering story about what occurred in the defendant's room. she made immediate outcries to multiple witnesses, both to hotel staff and to police. and the quick response by the hotel staff and law enforcement did help apprehend the defendant before his flight to france took off. >> late last night, dominique strauss-kahn resigned his post at the imf and in a letter denied all allegations against him. the bail ruling, what does it stipulate? >> it's interesting. basically under the terms of bail, his wife has remitted an apartment and they're going to stay there together. he's going to be on home detention, monitored by a private company. he will be picking up the costs.

it is $200,000 a month, that's what he's going to be paying. he's going to have to wear an electronic bracelet. one armed security with him at all times. if he goes out to meet with lawyers, go to religious ceremonies, something like that, the armed guard will accompany him. he's not going to be wandering all over new york city. and he will have too check this with the court. the court will make sure he's calling from a particular land line inside the apartment. unclear whether he'll have to check in one, two, three times a day. >> what is the indictment, what have we learned about the alleged crime? >> the indictment puts to rest some of the more salacious pieces of information that appeared originally in the complaint. the complaint had a lot of information to support the charges as they had been laid out. the complaint alleged all manners of sex. the indictment charges dominique strauss-kahn with forcing the housekeeper to perform a sex act

on him and it also accuses him of allegedly attempting to have sexual intercourse. two things to note. that is the district attorney in announcing the indictment, he made a very interesting distinction. he said, under american law, these are serious charges, pointing out american law. he also said that these were nonconsensual forced sex accuseds, referring to the fact that his lawyers suggested the evidence will not show this was a forced encounter. also, what was interesting in announcing the indictment, it was done in three languages. it was released in spanish, english and in french. >> because of worldwide interest in this case. i want to bring in jeffrey toobin and noted defense attorney mark geragos, as well. mark, what do you make of the case against this man? how would you try to go about defending him? >> well, i think you just have to wait first, and i'm sure ben is going to find out what the evidence is.

he needs to see what -- ben is the, i assume, the lead lawyer here. he's going to wait and see what they have before he decides how to approach this. he's not going to jump to any conclusions on this idea that the prosecutor announced that it was not consensual and it's a serious crime. you know, it seems like they're already in a position where they're doing pushback. i don't know why. if they have such a strong case, i don't know why they're so defensive. i would expect that ben will be circumspect until he sees everything the prosecutor has before he reveals anything. >> the defense though, mark, has tried to kind of get out the details that this flight was prearranged, that the notion that he suddenly booked this flight and went to the airport is not accurate. >> well, they have to do that, because of the bail hearing and what the grounds are for granting the bail. whether he's a flight risk. the prosecution tried to paint a

portrait that this was somebody grabbing the first plane to france. they invoked the two words that every frenchman fears most, roman polanski. all they've got to do then, and what i assume happened here, is show that it was booked, that it was booked prior to this incident, and that he was the one, as mr. taylor was saying just then, he had called twice. he was the one who alerted to where he was, he was at jfk. if this was somebody trying to flee, he's not going to call for his cell phone. he would have got on the flight and he would be dwone and they never would have seen him again. i think you do have to push back when you're talking about somebody's liberty. the idea that it was no bail for a couple of days is ludicrous, because this is not a murder case, this is not a no-bail case. this is a case where he should have received bail and did receive bail today. >> jeff, last night on the program you predicted he would receive bail and resign from the imf, both of which have

happened. you say you think he got lucky with this bail. >> this was a close, close question. there are judges in that courthouse who definitely would have denied him bail. start with the fact that he's not an american citizen. most american citizens, most non-american citizens who are arrested in the united states do not get out on bail. particularly those charged with serious felonies. he's very fortunate that he has the resources to put together a package with home detention. how many people in the world can afford $200,000 a month for monitoring? he's very lucky. and consider how long it's going to be until trial, two months, three months, maybe even longer. all those months he would have spent in jail. instead he's going to be with his wife in an apartment in manhattan. it makes a huge difference in his life. >> mark, when you're represent ago client like this, how time

consuming does this become for the client? last night jeff was talking about he needs to dedicate a lot of time focusing on this case moving forward. is that what you found with clients? >> in this case, given the stakes here, there's no question. he's going to spend 24-7 on this case. there's no way that he would have been able to retain his position, even if released on bail. so this is something where he's going to have to dedicate his life to getting out of this. for all intents and purposes, he's facing a potential life sentence. he needs to defend this case and meet with his lawyers and do everything possible. this is going to be an all consuming case for both him and frankly for the lawyers. >> what do we know about his visitors? >> it's interesting, the prosecution was arguing he should only be allowed one visitor aside from immediate

family, but the defense lawyer said no, they have a lot of friends that want to see him. one interesting thing, anderson, watching him in court, he seemed much more relaxed when he saw his wife, he smiled and blew her a kiss. he was much more pulled together than he had been when we saw him earlier in the week. there does seem to be a little change in the dynamics. you have to keep in mind who this guy is and who he is used to hanging out with. this guy is credited with saving greece and portugal and ireland. so he knows diplomacy and negotiations and it seemed to me, and jeff, you can correct me, he seemed to have a better feel for what was ahead, what was to come, and comfort being surrounded. >> the first 48 hours have to be like being hit with a truck. >> it helps to be a public figure. i remember watching o.j. simpson in the courtroom. he had presence, he knew what it was like to be looked at. i think dominique strauss-kahn is going to have a similar

presence in the courtroom. in the dna evidence inkrim nates him, none of that matters but it helps. >> mark, do you agree with jeff that it helps to be a public figure in terms of knowing how to present yourself in court? >> it certainly doesn't hurt. this is somebody that has been in situations where he knows how to handle himself and that beats the heck out of somebody who doesn't. and the fact that he has a high profile job and by some accounts probably one of the most high profile jobs in the world, certainly is not going to hurt him. at the same time, the things that do hurt him is that you're going to have prosecutors and judges who are going to, with

all of the media attention, try to make sure that he never seems like he's getting a break, so to speak. i don't think that anybody else is going to have the amount of attention that he has paid to their case in new york at this time. so it's a double edge sword, if you will. >> certainly for the alleged victim, this is a woman whose life will be changed. if she has to confront him in court, that will be overwhelming. >> the trial, if there is a trial, will be incredibly stressful for her. there's one big decision the defense has to make, they really only have two choices. is the defense consent, or is the defense, i wasn't there at the time? you can't argue both. that's why they have to just sort of see what the evidence is, talk to their client and we'll see where it goes. >> jeffrey toobin, thank you very much. mark geragos, great to have you on the program. let us know what you think on facebook or twitter @ anderson

cooper. we have a lot ahead. up next, we're going to tell you about criminal charges against a homegrown advocate for terror. a muslim extremist here in new york who has been trying to convert people on the streets. there's been an arrest for threats made against the creators of "south park." >> we're commanded to terrorize the disbelievers. >> you're commanded to terrorize the disbelievers? >> the koran says clearly in the arabic language, terrorize them. it's a command from allah. and sarah palin says leave newt gingrich alone. she slams the media for playing gotcha. and his explanations and denials are, well, you can judge for

yourself. we'll tell you what he's saying today and how it differs from monday and sunday.

we have more breaking news tonight. they try to recruit new followers on the streets of new york and online. well, now a man named jessie curtis morton, who we've interviewed in the past, has been charged with threatening the writers of the comedy series "south park." he seemed to believe they insulted the prove et "muhammad." they portrayed the prove et wearing a bear suit. this is a shot what angered members of the group. in an interview he gave to drew griffin, he was quoted in the affidavit. here's part of drew's original report. >> reporter: you're commanded to terrorize individuals? >> the koran says clearly in the

arabic language, terrorize them. it's a command from allah. >> reporter: so you ore commanded -- >> to terrorize them. you define terrorism as killing an innocent civilian. i define terrorism as making them fearful, so that they think twice before they go rape your mother or kill your brother or go on your land and steal your resources. the commands that you disavow and make hatred with democracy, between nationalism, between secularism, and that you see obama as the enemy he really is. that you see the united states as the enemy it really is. >> reporter: they may seem crazy to you, but you are not their target audience. the fbi has assigned agents to watch them, to monitor their website, and perhaps more importantly, watch those who are viewing and listening. >> drew griffin joins us with more now. what is the fbi asserting here?

>> reporter: that this man actually posted threats on the website that we've been covering, revolution muslim, threatening the creators of "south park." the fbi is basing this not just on the postings, but intercepted e-mails and communications that show intent, that is what the fbi is saying, the intent to cause harm to the creators of "south park." >> when you interviewed this guy, he seemed to go right up to the line of protection under the first amendment. >> hiding behind the first amendment. he thought that he had that first amendment protection. the fbi told us at the time that he was indeed going right up to the line and not crossing it. what we didn't know, anderson, was the fbi was also monitoring his communications with other people involved in that website. and they have now brought charges against this man, saying that indeed these were threats made and this is in connection with another case of a guy who is already serving time. >> but this guy muhammad hasn't been arrested.

do we know where he is? >> the last time i communicated with him was in morocco. if he is in morocco, he's somewhat protected because we don't have any extradition treaty with that government at the moment. >> he's already been sentenced to 25 years in the case -- 25 years in a different case? >> it's resulting in the same case, it involved threats in the "south park" case but also included materially supporting a terrorist group in somalia. zachary chester is serving 25 years. his postings a little more radical and direct and even sent out guidelines on how to capture, beat and terrorize suspects or people. a little more explicit. this is a little more nuanced case.

it's going to be interesting to watch how this is prosecuted. the fbi believe that these were threats made in violation of u.s. code, which says you can't do this using interstate commerce, namely through a website. >> i want to remind viewers of what we're talking about. this was a "south park" episode, which has poked fun and everybody, every group. in this episode they were poking fun at jesus, at buddha, if memory serves me correct. i think we have a clip of part of this episode. >> you've done the town a huge favor, muhammad. >> hold on a second, stop. there's some extremists threatening if we give muhammad to the celebrities, they're going to bomb us. >> what? >> it's just a stupid threat. come on, we don't want to piss tom cruise again. >> the whole idea, from what i

remember, showing the bear costume is because he's the only religious figure who you can't show on television because you don't want to upset groups, that's why he was in the bear costume. how dangerous do authorities think the group that this guy was associated with has been? >> we can tell you from our own research that this site, revolution muslim, and it's now a site that continues to be run, we believe from morocco, has attracted a lot of homegrown terrorists. in the past two years, there have been about 30 cases of homegrown terrorism, acts trying to be carried out or plots being made. we believe 25%, 30% of the terror suspects in this country have somehow been linked to this site. it has been a problem for the fbi and they believe that this one site in particular has led to a lot of radicalization here in the u.s. >> interesting stuff. drew griffin, thanks for the

reporting. drew has been following this story for a long time, this group. coming up next, sarah palin taking a shot at, get this, what a surprise, the lame stream media for playing gotcha with newt gingrich, whose presidential campaign has run into trouble. you can decide for yourself if the media is targeting newt or if newt is targeting newt in this particular instance and whether this question that he was asked really was a gotcha question at all. another blockbuster from arnold schwarzenegger. this time the shocker is all about his movie career. presenting miracle-gro liquafeed. the only garden feeder... that works with ready-to-use liquid miracle-gro. it's a revolutionary way to grow a great garden. liquafeed makes feeding as easy as watering. no measuring, mixing or guessing. just attach, insert and feed.

keeping them honest tonight, you would like politicians to stand by their words, even if that's what they truly believe when they say those words. or if they no longer do because they misspoke or got it wrong, you would hope they would apologize and take responsibility. tonight, newt gingrich seems to be doing a little bit of both and a bit of neither simultaneously after what he said touched off a firestorm in his own party. he's now saying that he really wasn't saying what everyone thought he was saying and he wasn't talking about who he clearly was talking about. he apologized personally to him, but now he's saying, well, it's hard to know what he's saying right now. in addition to that mind bending new twist, sarah palin is getting into the act and it's still only thursday. just four days since gingrich went on "meet the press" and expressed his reasonably

political disagreement with paul ryan's plan to privatize medicare. >> i don't think right wing social engineering is any more desirable than left wing social engineering. i don't think imposing radical change from the right or left is a very good way for a free society to operate. >> that was sunday on "meet the press." when fellow republicans heard that, they went ballistic. paul ryan was saying, with allies like that, who needs the left? by tuesday, gingrich called paul ryan to apologize. but he was blaming, of course, the media. >> look, i made two mistakes. first of all, if you listen to the question david gregory asked me, i should have said i'm not going to answer it. the second was some of the words i used. but i was trying to say something that's really important. we are at the beginning of a process of solving the entitlement problems in the united states. these are enormous challenges.

i believe deeply that the american people have to be an integral part of it. i think what paul ryan has done is started that process. >> that was gingrich on fox where their team of political pundits has been declaring his campaign dead all day. two things to keep in mind, mentioning paul ryan by name and calling the health care question baloney. you can design if it was a gotcha game. first, though, sarah palin who clearly thinks it was. >> there's got to be the preparation on all the candidate's part for the gotchas. that's what the lame stream media is known for is the trip up questions and you have to be prepared for it and overcome it. >> sarah palin on fox blaming the media for serving up a gotcha and painting newt as a naive new-be who's never been on the tv. >> welcome back. this is your 35th appearance on the program. >> wow, 35 times dating back to

the reagan era. as for the gotcha question, you decide. >> entitlements, the medicare trust fund and stories that have come out over the weekend is it's going to be depleted five years earlier. do you think the republicans ought to buck the opposition and move forward to change medicare, turn it into a voucher program where you give seniors some premium support so they can buy private insurance? >> i don't think right wing social engineering is any more desirable than left wing social engineering. >> so is asking about one of the central issues of the campaign baloney? is it hypothetical? take a look. >> on this vote, the yeahs are 235 and the nays are 193. the resolution is agreed to. >> that's a real gavel, real vote in the nonhypothetical congress on the real gop budget containing the paul ryan plan to privatize medicare.

gingrich said because the senate won't pass it and the president won't sign it, the question was hypothetical. but today he tried to tell rush limbaugh his answer had nothing to do with paul ryan. >> it was not a reference to paul ryan. there was no reference to paul ryan in that answer. >> then what did you apologize to him about? >> because it was interpreted in a way which was causing trouble, which he doesn't need or deserve and causing the house republicans. >> gingrich today talking about his answer to the question about the ryan plan in the ryan sponsored budget for which he apologized to paul ryan. gingrich is right, he did not mention paul ryan by name in his answer. but it's clear from david gregory's followup they're talking about the ryan plan here. listen. >> not what paul ryan is suggesting -- >> i think that's too big a jump. >> and gingrich kept going. he didn't stop and say who is

this paul ryan you speak of? two days ago, he was practically denying he said anything at all. >> so let me say on the record, any ad which quotes what i said on sunday is a falsehood, because i have said publicly, those words were inaccurate and unfortunate. >> in other words, who are you going to believe, newt, or that lying videotape of newt gingrich. a lot to talk about with paul begala and republican strategist rich gallen, who once served as newt gingrich's press secretary. >> i did, but if you say that again. >> rich, what do you make of this? is his explanation of the explanation, does it make sense? >> of course not. this isn't just a rookie mistake, this is a mistake by somebody that's in single-a short season hagerstown. the whole part of this you left out was his press secretary then blaming everybody on the planet

except for themselves. no, this is -- i think what happened was that they didn't realize how dangerous this was. it took them and day and a half to get their arms around it. as the thing kept building, newt kept trying to find new ways to wriggle out of it. unfortunately as you have done here, and i think fairly, as you have done here when you string all of the -- all of everything he said and where he said it, plus getting a box of lucky charms poured on his bed, which he didn't need this week, it's been a tough week for newt and i don't know that the campaign is over. what i would do if i were involved, which i am not, i would say let's get through the rest of the schedule in iowa, come back to washington, retool and relaunch this thing and see if we can get it straightened out. >> paul, is that the way to go? >> i guess. these other explanations are so implausible. maybe he wasn't talking about paul ryan, maybe it was matt

ryan, the quarterback for the atlanta falcons or nolan ryan, the pitcher, meg ryan the actress. it's really embarrassing. newt gingrich is a brilliant guy, and he led his party to a historic land slide in the house of representatives in 1994. but it's just not 1994 anymore. it's really astonishing to me, i guess how intellectually dishonest he's been. he had a position, it's a conservative position, it would be what i would call a private option, right? we have medicare right now, it's a national system, it's a socialized system for paying for health care, not the care itself. and he was saying we should have an option. leave traditional medicare as it is, but have an option. there are even some democrats, i don't agree with them, who are for that position. but newt abandoned that position like the devil runs from holy

water just as soon as the right wing came after him and then blamed the press. and ms. palin blaming the press. >> here's the thing that's astonishing. newt gingrich having to take political advice from sarah palin is maybe the most bizarre thing of the week. >> it's got to hurt a little bit. >> her idea of a gotcha question is, what newspapers do you read, governor. >> i don't want to sort of bash her or anything, but i don't understand the sort of constant reference to gotcha questions when you actually hear the david gregory question, it's a completely rational question. it's not a trick question. >> what should have -- i mean, what somebody ought to do tomorrow is ask -- now she'll do it, but ask mrs. palin if she watched any part of "meet the press" or ever watched any part of "meet the press" to see what the question was. my guess is she didn't. >> sometimes we get off in the

silly season in campaign. you remember barack obama when he was running, used an old phrase, you can't put lipstick on a pig. and everybody said, he was talking about sarah palin. this is not a silly gaffe. this is a health care system for tens of millions of americans. the republicans, in the words of "the wall street journal," want to essentially end medicare and put insurance companies in charge, which will cost seniors more. this is the most important domestic i think issue and budgetary issue in front of the country. >> and it was the issue that the shut down fight was over, looking for a way to reduce the growth of medicare expenditures. >> so rich, can gingrich recover from this? >> sure, he is. four years ago i was one of the geniuses that kept saying the mccain campaign was over and he was over when he accepted the nomination. but yeah, he can come back to this. but it fed into the, as we like to say now, narrative of

gingrich in whether or not he can -- he can be on message and hold himself in check so that what comes into his head does not automatically come out of his mouth. for most people what they are looking for in a president is somebody who can actually sit behind that desk, in that office, and they feel confident that they won't go off on a tangent as newt did on sunday. >> rich, appreciate your time, paul begala, as well. coming up, president obama's speech in the middle east, promising new aid to egypt, tunisia. i'm going to talk to richard haass and profess showing the aftermath of a nato air strike in the port of tripoli. the operation deputy commander saying given gadhafi's escalated in life, you're either the gas™... or the brake™.

the operation deputy commander saying given gadhafi's escalated use of naval assets, they had no choice to take action. the president endorsing change, promising new aid to egypt and tunisia, criticizing syria, but not calling for the dictator's removal. he's getting the most flak for making official the rarely stated support for a palestinian state based on borders that existed before the 1967 six-day war. mitt romney saying the president threw israel under the bus. in fact, mr. obama said any deal should include land swaps and took pains to underscore america's commitment to israel.

>> our commitment to israel's security is unshakeable. and we will stand against attempts to single them out against criticism in international forums. but precisely because of our friendship, it's important that we tell the truth. the status quo is unsustainable, and israel too must act boldly to advance a lasting peace. >> joining us now richard haass and professor fouad ajami. richard, he declared his support for the two-state solution with pre-'67 boarders. the israeli prime minister reacted closely. does it make sense to you why he made this speech? >> to be honest, it doesn't. the big events of this spring are the upheavals in the arab world. people were not burning israeli flags or american flags. and the president came forward

with this speech, which had different formulations, including the ones about the '67 boarders so forth. the israelis felt the speech was too much, but from the arab point of view, you're hearing it was too little. so it might have been one of those speeches that left nobody happy. >> fouad, do you agree with that? >> when the president began talking about the israeli-palestinian conflict, it was after he said, in conclusion. in conclusion, he turned to this. fundamentally, this speech was what it was. the president was -- had come forth. it was really a victory lap, but it was something of a declaration of an american victory after the killing of osama bin laden. and somewhat of an attempt to catch up with the arab spring. he hadn't been a big supporter of this arab spring. he claimed tunisia and egypt and put syria -- he left the door open for the syrians. he cast the libyian regime

adrift. so the idea of bending the arab spring to make it serve the interest of this israeli-palestinian matters isn't really politically brilliant at this time. >> by bringing in the question of israel and palestine, does he overwhelm the talk of the arab spring? >> no. i think fundamentally president obama wasn't -- the arab spring left us all -- we have to cast a vote, was this a very important event, is this -- does this herald the making of a new arab world and the president was slow to act. it wasn't his cause. it wasn't the burning issue for him. so i think this was not a bad speech. it wasn't a brilliant speech. there was nothing lyrical or compelling about it. it was just an attempt to place american diplomacy in the middle of this event. >> you think one of the most --

the strongest part of the speech was bahrain? >> absolutely. >> he was critical of the regime in bahrain, even though it's an ally of the united states. >> it was critical of saudi arabia, which he never mentioned in the speech. everything else was predictable, what he said about syria or egypt or libya, what have you. but the criticism of the crackdown in bahrain put him at odds with an american ally and at odds with saudi arabia. it's his way of saying there has to be a limit to our inconsistency and we can't look the other way what's going on in bahrain, and we don't think what you, bahrain, and what you saudis are doing there is in your own long-term self-interest. he called for resumption of a political dialogue. that to me was probably in the uprising part of the speech, the most noteworthy part. >> fouad, a lot of people i'm

getting e-mails from hoped the president would say that assad has no legitimacy or has lost legitimacy. he didn't say that. he basically said he can either start to make changes now and stop killing his own people or get out of the way. >> exactly. he can either lead the process of change or get out of the way. this still represents an improvement of the old american position of several days ago. i did a discussion with you a while ago, where secretary of state hillary clinton was asked by jeffrey goldberg, would you be sorry to see assad go? and she gave this remarkable answer, very, very politically, if you really think about it, a very obtuse answer. she said it depends on who replaces him. to say we know what you're doing in dara and damascus, and i

think that there was an attempt, if you will, to take american diplomacy in a tougher direction. >> from a diplomatic effort, richard, why would you not say this man has lost legitimacy? >> because if your rhetoric gets that far out, the gap gets too large and you create a libya situation. the president could say, assad has to go, and then everyone's next question is that's fine, mr. president, but what are you going to do to bring it about? the answer is, there's not a lot we can do. at the end of the day, the futcher is going to be determined on the streets of syrian cities, not a speech by the president of the united states. >> fouad, how concerned are you about what's going on in egypt right now? >> fundamentally, this is where the arab spring crystallizes and yields something, gives hope of a better future, both for egypt and then points the way for the other arab nations, because remember, in liberation square

where you were, where this arab spring gained strength. i'm not frightened that much by what's happening in egypt, i'm worried. these people lived under a tyranny for 60 years, when you combine the regimes. and freedom is difficult and the ways of freedom are very difficult. if you look at the clashes between the christians and the islamists, these don't bode well. but i think egypt remains, it's the one arab country i've studied in depth. it's a country of culture and a genuine sense of forgiveness and forbearance. >> do you agree with that? >> he's right to be worried. the disconnect between the pace of political change, and the scale of the economic problems,

people should be worried about how egypt is going to go. that's why i don't like the phrase "arab spring." it's too positive and suggests things are going to happen quickly. we're looking at years and years before we know what the character of egypt is. >> thank you both. coming up, arnold schwarzenegger was planning on making a movie comeback, but with revelations about his former housekeeper, does the comeback stand a chance? and remember botox mom, the woman who gave her 8-year-old botox injections? she's now poking holes in her own story. was it a hoax? the "ridicu-list" is next. in 20, building up our wireless network all across america. we're adding new cell sites... increasing network capacity, and investing billions of dollars 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.

joe johns is following some other stories tonight and joins us with a "360" news and business bulletin.

joe? >> the fbi says it wants dna samples from unabomber ted kaczynski as it tries to crack a cold case. he's serving a life sentence for a mail bombing spree that killed three people and injured two dozen over two decades. a "360" follow now. federal investigators are looking into what caused a military plane carrying about 150,000 pounds of fuel to crash last night in southern california during takeoff. amazingly, all three people on board escaped without serious injury. in west virginia, an independent investigation concluded that a reckless disregard safety by the mining giant masse energy caused 29 miners to die last year. the report calls it a man made disaster that could have been prevented.

arnold schwarzenegger's lawyer says the former california governor is putting his movie comeback on hold while he focuses on personal matters. the announcement comes two days after news broke that he fathered a child with his former housekeeper. and princess beatrice may already have the last laugh. that hat she was mocked for wearing is on the auction block for charity and the current bid is more than $30,000. >> good for her. >> one of the most amazing hats i've ever seen. >> they don't even call it a hat, they call it a fascinator. time now for the "ridicu-list." an update on a story about the woman who says she gave her 8-year-old daughter botox injections in the face. guess what? now botox mom says she made it all up. she did an interview with a british tabloid talking about

giving her daughter botox injections to make her more competitive in child beauty pageants. then she went on "good morning america." >> a lot of the moms there, they're giving their kids botox and it's like the thing. i'm not the only one that does it. >> it's pretty much like the thing. after that interview, social services stepped in and took her daughter away and launched an investigation. fast forward a few days, tmz gets ahold of a sworn declaration. in there, she says -- >> $200? the sworn declaration goes on to say --

>> so kerry -- sorry, so sheena says she made it all up and now he's allowed to have supervised contact with her child. but did fauxtox mom dupe us all? >> i do have a trusted source where i get it. he is behind the doctor scene. >> behind the doctor scene. so i guess, kerry -- sorry, i guess sheena does not have a trusted source behind the doctor scene. that's disappointing. but there's another wrinkle. "the sun" tells tmz it's thinking about legal action. and abc says that "good morning america" interviewed a bunch of sources who confirm that yes, this lady did give her child botox injections. so finding the truth here is like finding a needle in an 8-year-old's face in a hey stack.

i like that image. which is the more disturbing scenario, giving your child botox, lying about giving your child botox -- i'm still thinking about the needle in a child's face in a hay stack. lying to make $200 or high about lying about giving your child botox to appease social services? and maybe in the end, that is fauxtox mom's master plan to furrow our brows. kind of a evil genius form of botox. well played, kerry -- i mean, sheena. well played. we'll be right back.
