>> so it could be a biggest ally in the region but the uae does have some problems. dubai is still climbing out of a massive bust with real estate prices down 60% from the peak. so we're going there to get the story, from the arab spring to iran to syria, to the indoor ski slope. in a rare interview with the prime minister of the united arab emirates and dueller of dubai, sheikh mow ted al maktoun comes here for an interview monday. good evening, everyone. we begin tonight keeping them honest with the school's decision to turn away a 13-year-old honor student for one single reason, he's hiv positive. this is not a case of a school denying the child admission and the child believing or thinking or assuming he's been denied because he's hiv positive. no, in this case the school admits in no uncertain terms that is why they're keeping the kid out. i'm going to talk to a school representative in a moment and you're going to hear from legal and medical experts who say that school's decision is ignorant,

medically unsound and against the law. this is happening by the way the week of world aids day and it's happening 26 years after another teenager named ryan white was barred from going to class because he was hiv positive. back then ryan white showed you could be hiv positive and not pose a threat to fellow students or anyone else. the question tonight, have we not learned anything since then? three years ago congress specifically amended the americans with disabilities act to explicitly bar discrimination based on hiv status and the time something remarkable and to many so is the setting where this decision was made, at pennsylvania's milton hershey school which was established o102 years ago by the chocolate company founder to provide education and opportunity for disadvantaged children. 1,800 kids now live and study there. they get room and board, clothing, medical, dental care, some of the best faculty and educational opportunities available and they don't pay a penny for it. it is by all accounts a remarkable and extraordinary

school. students come from a family of low income, limited resources and social need, and the school admits boys and girls of any race, color, religion, nationality or ethnic origin but now they've decided not to admit a child who has hiv. the 13-year-old is on the honor roll at his current school, a student athlete, taking drugs to keep the virus in check. here is what the student told philadelphia station wcau. >> i think it was wrong. they put me through emotional distress. i fell into other teenager should go through this, being denied just because they have hiv. >> this week the aids law project to pennsylvania filed suit on his behalf claiming the hershey school violates the americans with disabilities act. school lawyers argued for an exemption in part because of the possibility, the possibility he might have sex with another student. "the school knows that no child can be assumed to always make responsible decisions which

affect the well-being of others." it goes on, "the school believes that it's made the correct assessment of the risks of transmission of hiv in this setting and has not violated the law because this student would pose a direct threat to the health and safety of other students." keeping them honest that presumes an awful lot. it presumes that a 13-year-old would even have sex, and then it presumes that sex would be unprotected, and then it presumes that this unprotected sex would result in transmission of the virus, even though the drugs that he's taking makes that more than 95% impossible. the words of art kaplan, a leading expert on ethics and medicine, "you've got to be kidding me." in a moment our own experts weigh in. first what the hershey school has to say. whatever you think of their decision they're being very straight-forward about defending it. joining me is connie mcnamara, spokeswoman for the milton hershey school. why has your school decided to deny admission to this hiv positive young man? >> well, anderson, i think first i'd like you and your viewers to understand what the milton

hershey school is. it is not a typical day school. kids don't come in at 8:00 and leave at 3:00. we are a home-like residential school. children live in student homes with 10 to 12 other students. they're here 24 hours a day, seven days a week throughout the calendar year. we serve from pre-k through 12th grade, students who have a very diverse population, and we're a home for these students. we're a home when they're with us and we have a parental responsibility. >> so why can't an hiv positive 13-year-old live in the home, go to this school? >> because we had to balance the interests. we looked at everything and we believe that we made the right decision. we believe that in this case, because this student has an active, chronic, communicable disease, that rises to the level that it poses a direct threat to the health and safety of the other 2,000 students we serve. >> how? >> we have to balance the interests. >> how? >> all you have us are there because we want to help children. >> how is it a direct threat?

>> there are a number of issues -- >> how is it a direct threat? >> there are a number of issues but the key interest for us comes down to sexual activity. we know that teenagers nationwide are, a significant number of sexually active. our students are no different than any other teenagers and on our camp news our unique controlled environment, there are, if one of our students is engaging in sexual activity, the odds are it's with another of our students, and we have parental responsibility for those, all of those children. >> but under the law, under the americans with disabilities act, you cannot discriminate against anyone with hiv. >> we believe we are following the law. we believe that, we know the law sets a high standard and we've looked at this and we believe that this rises to the level of a direct threat, but we acknowledge this is a difficult decision and we are very happy that the court will be deciding on this. >> in a legal document, you have written "the school has made an individualized assessment as required by the ada," the

americans with disabilities act" "and its implementing regulations and determined that john doe would pose a direct threat." that's the language you just used now. a question and answer document put out by the justice department civil rights division to inform people about the americans with disabilities act. in this document it says and i quote, there's a question, "can a public accommodation exclude a person with hiv/aids because that person allegedly poses a direct threat to the health and safety of others. answer, in almost every instance the answer to to this question is no. persons with hiv/aids will rarely pose a threat in the direct public accommodations context." given that answer how can you say it is a direct threat. >> becauser' a unique institution. >> there are hiv positive chirnz in boarding schools across the country, living in homes across the country with brothers and sisters. are you saying that hiv positive children shouldn't be allowed to live in homes with other kids, shouldn't be allowed to date? >> what we're saying is that in

our environment, where we have responsibility and not for just this one child, but for nearly 2,000 other children that once we made this, once we did this analysis, we believe that it does rise to that level, and we believe we're -- >> but you're saying -- >> living to the letter of the law. >> what you're saying is hiv positive children shouldn't date, shouldn't live in a home that you wouldn't be comfortable having an hiv -- >> that's not what we're saying. >> you're not comfortable having an hiv positive child in one of your group homes, you're just not comfortable having them in a group home because they possibly may date, possibly may have sex, and possibly may have sex and possibly may transmit a virus even though this child is on medication and i assume you know under medication now the chance of sexual transmission even if the child had unprotected sex is reduced by 96% to 97% with current medication. so you're talking about a theoretical, theoretical

possibility. >> we're also talking about children, and no child can be expected to always use the best judgment, and do the best things to protect the child or other people. >> what medical evidence was your decision based on? >> we did a thorough review. we had the admissions committee and our senior administration along with our medical staff review the case. >> so you had a doctor or a medical professionals consulting on this? >> yes. >> and they advised you that there was a risk of having an hiv positive child in this school? >> i wasn't in those discussions, anderson, but i can tell you that the decision at the end of the day was that in balancing the risks, we had to think about those other 2,000 students in our home. >> i mean i guess i just don't understand, what are you telling hiv positive people, young people and adults about dating, about their own responsibility, about their ability to be in a generalized community? i mean it seems to be saying

there is this risk that all hiv positive kids are a risk because they might date somebody. >> no. what we're talking about is this individual case, in our individual unique environment, and we are saying that we have to balance the interests of this one child with the health and safety of the 2,000 children already in our home, and at the end of the day we believe this was the best decision but we struggled with it and we are happy to have the court weigh in on it because we think this is a novel area of the law. >> ms. mcnamara, appreciate you joining us. thank you. >> thank you. >> i think this say very important case. up next, senior legal analyst jeffrey toobin and dr. kimberly manning weighing in on whether the legal or medical claims you heard stand up to the facts. we're on facebook, floogle plus, twitter @andersoncooper, let me know what you think. raw politics, herman cain is about to make a big announcement

after a week of reis'sing his campaign. newt gingrich's rise and mitt romney's rough week and also tonight, he's young, clean-cut, wholesome and allegedly a serial killer, the youngest serial killer in canada say authorities if what they say is true about him. we'll see how he was caught "crime and punishment" tonight.

we're talking about a decision to keep a teenager out of the prestigious hershey school because of the sole reason he's hiv positive. a moment ago you heard a school spokeswoman say that circumstances in this case are unique that this boy who by the way is 13 years old and taking anti-viral drugs would pose a direct threat to other students basically because this child might one day down the road at this school have sex. let's dig deeper into the legal and medical angles, jeffrey toobin and dr. kimberly manning, we spoke a short time ago. jeff, i'm stunned by this because just on a legal -- i mean -- is this legal? >> you know, the hershey school is a famous great place. they have done amazing work for decades, which makes their position even worse in this case

because people look to this school as a model. you know, usually in legal arguments there are sort of arguments on both sides. i don't even understand the school's argument here. the americans with disabilities act was specifically amended to say that you can't discriminate on someone on the basis of hiv status so i mean this seems to be a completely categorical violation of the law. >> they're basically saying there's a direct threat loophole, if you can say there's a direct threat and justify it, then you can get away with it, but they haven't really described what the direct threat is. >> that he'll have sex with other students. as far as i can tell, you know, 24 years after ryan white, you know, when we learned that people with hiv are not contaminating other people around them, except through blood or sexual conduct, the idea that that risk is enough to keep a kid out of school seems completely propest russ to me. >> dr. manning, you see hiv positive patients on a routine

basis. >> yes. >> this young man is on medication whose risk of transmission has dropped 96%, even if the sex is unprotected, from a medical and scientific perspective, is this school's decision to deny enrollment to the kid justified in any way? >> it's not justified, and i'll say that first but i think the only good thing about this is that it opens the eyes of medical professionals of where some of the public still is in terms of fear, just how much fear still exists, and i mean we just need to point out this was a decision that was rooted in fear, not because of public health concern, because if this was truly for public health purposes, they would have sought the counsel of the appropriate medical professionals who have then told them of the compelling data that has demonstrated that those taking anti-retroviral therapy if they have sexual intercourse with someone hiv negative the chances of getting hiv is minimal in those instances. >> they claim they did have medical advice, they consulted

medical advice. jeff, do you think this is more about them not wanting to have other parents upset at the school somehow if the word leaked out although it wasn't as though this child would be known as being the hiv positive child at the school or -- >> well that's what they're saying, that this is to protect the other kids and presumably the parents of the other kids, if they have parents. that's one of the amazing things about the hershey school, they often take kids who are orphans. it's really a fantastic place but the idea that this would be protecting these kids, i think all it does is send them a terrible message about how people with disabilities should be treated. >> i also don't understand then if the argument is an hiv positive child that it's not safe for them to be in a school where there's also a residential setting, well then why, if you use that logic, then it's not safe for a child to be in a home where there's other kids or it's not safe for them to be dating at all and then why allow a kid

to date. >> that's the thing, the point the woman from the school was making was that the risk of sexual contact is something we can't tolerate. well, 13-year-olds and high school kids can have sex in any, regardless of where they go to school. it has relatively little to do with where they go to school so the idea that this, by keeping him out of school will somehow protect the public or even protect their students just seems logically and factually not supported. >> i think dr. manning what some people don't understand is hiv in the united states is not a death sentence. >> no, it is not. >> that this is a long-term, chronic condition like diabetes or that with medication, you can live a long and healthy life. this seems to be, their lonnic seems to be rooted in, you know, 20 years ago. >> in fear. like we said, you know you cannot combat fear with logic, and that's what we're trying to do is trying to provide them some logic, but really, they're

afraid, and you know, i'm a parent, too, and as a parent, if this were my own child, and i knew that my child's life expectancy could be well into adulthood and that they would have many opportunities to become gainfully employed and a productive part of society i'd want them to have every single opportunity which means that this is really, really unfortunate that this kind of fear still exists and we're very stunned, i think, medical doctors and those i talked to about this that someone actually publicly would admit that they're not admitting someone to school because they're hiv positive. it's disturbing. >> that's the interesting point that occurred to me. usually when we have discrimination in our society people find a pretext, they don't qualify. >> in the cases lawyers tell you rare somebody saying it's because the person has hiv. >> that's what weird i have to give them perverse credit in being honest saying this kid is

fine except for his hiv status. in terms of being a parent, i'm a parent, too, and of course if my kid was sick i would want the kid to be in a great school like hershey but if i thought -- if my kids were the other kids i wouldn't feel threatened. i wouldn't feel like their health was in danger. i would feel like this is the kind of society you want to live in, where kids who have problems, you know sit side by side with everyone else everyone el else. >> there are plenty of communicable diseases, various forms of herpes are widespread in adult populations and probably among teenage populations yet i doubt this school would stop somebody who has herpes from teaching at the school or from going to the school. >> and that points to the public's stigma still attached to hiv and that you know people still have the mind-set of the hiv of the mid '80s, of people dying immediately shortly after getting it. >> i just think this is a really

important study and case because not just for this young man and his mom and his family, but just to kind of open people's eyes about hiv in this country, and the reality of it. >> and i have to say, i was really surprised by this case, not just because it's the hershey school, which is a very distinguished place, but also that people still have these kind of fears, so many years after the epidemic. >> do you think there's any chance this holds up legally? >> you know what? i usually don't like to give categorical predictions but i think there is no way a court is going to coup enthis kid out of this school and i think the hefr she school ought to wake up, let the kid in, welcome him, and not be further embarrassed, because i think it's pretty embarrassing as it is. >> jeff toobin, thank you very much. dr. kimberly manning, thanks as always. >> thank you. >> we'll continue to follow this. we're going to continue to follow this closely in the days ahead. still ahead, "raw politics" a wild week in the gop race for president. herman cain reassessing his campaign for president, after

"raw politics" of it tonight, plenty of it. by this tomorrow herman cain could be out of the presidential race. four women claiming harassing, one claiming an affair. today he suggested a decision is near. >> tomorrow in atlanta i will be making an announcement, but

nobody's going to get me to make that prematurely. that's all there is to that. >> that's all he's saying but there is thank's not all there is to say politically. new poll in iowa, 8%, a little more than a month ago it was 23%. separately perhaps strangely given the circumstances his campaign launched a new website nojokewomenforcain. the beneficiary of newt's troubles is newt gingrich, he's drawing controversy with his opposition to child labor laws. two weeks ago he called them "truly stupid" and suggested that students take the job of janitors and do other works at their schools. now he's doubling down. >> really poor children in really poor neighborhoods have no habits of working, and have nobody around them who works. so they literally have no habit of showing up on monday. they have no habit of staying all day. they have no habit of "i do this and you give me cash." unless it's illegal.

>> yesterday, he expected to be the republican nominee. today he toned it down saying the voters would decide, that said they appear to be souring on mitt romney who is sinking deeper in the polls after a tougher than expected interview on fox news. more with j.c. watts and rich galen who once served as press secretary for mitt romney. mitt romney had a shaky interview, raised eyebrows. some of the states, iowa and florida seem bleak for him. do you think this is one week team romney would rather forget? >> they would and all candidates are going to have tough weeks and tough times that you have to weather but anderson i think if you look over the last year, i've said all along that governor romney has, you know, when you look at his campaign, he's had two good campaigns over the last four years. they've been well organized, well funded, but yet he's not

gotten more than, you know, at his peak he was probably at 25%, 26%. so you know, all the rumbling you hear about you know the two camps, anti-romney camp and or the anybody but romney camp and the romney camp, that's been pretty valid for the last year and a half, and i think it's now just continuing to bubble up, and newt gingrich with herman cain going down and stumbling i think newt gingrich is the beneficiary and that didn't happen just in the last week. i think that's been happening over the last month. >> rich, do you really think newt gingrich could be the nominee? >> no, i don't. i mean, i'm wrong 50% of the time, so don't anybody run out and call your bookie. >> you're the only one who admits that, so. >> but here's the thing about romney, and i think this is a mistake that once we get through this that his campaign may admit to. this is a little bit in j.c.'s background, as you know he was a

world class football player. this will be like a major football program just doing nothing but walking through the plays without pads, without contact, then going into the game on saturday and expecting to be able to perform up to their normal levels. romney has not had these kinds of -- brett aer is a great reporter, not a gotcha reporter but i think this shows that governor romney didn't have any sort of sparring partner, didn't have any contact before this. he got into the game and turned out when he got smacked coming around the corner it hurt and he wasn't ready for it. >> anderson can i add, i think if mitt is the, governor romney is the nominee, i think the fact that he's kind of getting a little bit of pressure and a little bit of prompting and a little bit of attention from newt, i think it makes him a

much better general election candidate but we'll see how it holds up with newt, but i do think it helps romney become a better candidate. >> i absolutely agree. the problem that i think newt's going to have as we move forward is that as we know there is no infrastructure. there's no real campaign. it's newt doing what newt does, which he does brilliantly. but it's a little bit like a small engineering firm that suddenly wins a gigantic dod contract, and finds out that they're choking on the contract because they don't have the infrastructure to support all the new work, and it may well be that newt finds if he doesn't goet this thing ramped up fairly quickly that once we get out of the early, the smaller states and into the floridas and down the line, that he is just not going to have the resources or the infrastructure to be able to compete with romney, who has built a campaign structure to be able to go over the long haul. remember, california isn't until june. super tuesday isn't until march. we keep talking about 30 days but this is a long way.

>> briefly, rich, can you imagine, can you imagine any scenario in which herman cain stays in the race tomorrow? >> no. i can't even imagine that -- no, i can't. i'm not going to go anywhere beyond that. no, i think that -- but i think what this is going to turn out to be, i think the whole campaign was a fraud. he was in it i believe just to sell books and to raise his name i.d., and he was like the producers, the play, the movie "the producers" had no idea the play was going to be a success and thought it was going to fail. >> you really think it was a fraud, rich? >> yeah, i really do. >> j.c. do you think he'll stay in the race, do you think there's any chance? >> i don't think that his campaign was a fraud. i think that he got in the race thinking that he could be the nominee for republicans to take on president obama. i don't think that it was a fraud, but i do think that he will end this campaign, if surely not tomorrow, i think the handwriting's on the wall, and me, personally, i hope, i hope that he does. i know herman. he's a friend, and i just would

hate to see him go through or his family go through what he's going to have to go through in order to try to sustain any semblance of a campaign. >> j.c. watts appreciate your time as well, rich galen as well. come up a case that has left a canadian community reeling. could it be true a popular clean-cut athlete who was their neighbor, classmate and friend is actually a serial killer? that's what police are saying. also the videos syria's foreign minister passed off with a group of terrorist gangs in the country. turns out the footage isn't even in syria. we're keeping them honest. can be more confident in their ability to be ready with cialis for daily use. cialis for daily use is a clinically proven low-dose tablet you take every day, so you can be ready anytime the moment's right. ♪ [ man ] tell your doctor about all your medical conditions and medications and ask if your heart is healthy enough for sexual activity.

"crime and punishment" tonight authorities in british columbia believe they may have the youngest serial killer in custody, sitting in jail for more than a year with no trial date in sight. for those who grew up with him he's the most unlikely suspect they can imagine. tom foreman has the story. >> reporter: this is a story that begins and ends near what locals call the highway of tears. with a pickup lurching out of a snowy logging road late at night as an officer of the royal canadian mounted police was passing. he pulled the driver over and suspected poaching, but when authorities followed the vehicle's tracks, they found something in the woods no one expected. least of all doug leslie, who was soon at the scene begging to

be allowed down the road. what did you think? >> didn't no he what to think, you know. i knew it was lauren, but they couldn't tell me it was lauren, you know. >> reporter: because at that moment it was abongoing murder investigation? >> that's right. that's right. >> reporter: earlier that day, his daughter, lauren leslie, only 15 and legally blind, had vanished, texting that she was going for a ride with a casual friend, cody. >> right over there with the ribbon around the corner there is a little pit, that's where she was found. >> reporter: now she was dead, and police were holding that pickup truck driver, 20-year-old cody legibakov, a former high school athlete, well-known and well liked with no record of trouble. >> we've termed it that he was not on police radars. he did not have a criminal record. looks like anybody that would be walking down the sidewalk next to you. >> reporter: at rest was shocking but what followed stunned this community. we shared an apartment with friends, worked at a local car

dealership and yet he was soon accused of killing three other women, all since his high school graduation, jill stecheko, natasha montgomery and cynthia mays, making him what locals believe to be the youngest suspected serial killer in canadian history. at the newspaper, reporter frank peebles. >> so in a 13-month period this clean-cut blond haired fit, healthy, well-employed, respected young man has been swept up in allegations of four murders. jill stuchenko was found in this travel pit. >> reporter: the first three victims were all older than the suspect, all mothers and perhaps easy targets. >> a lot of the victims had similar profiles at least on the surface, disenfranchised people, involved in the high-risk lifestyles. >> reporter: how could they have found them, the cell phone and

computer records report he cruised social media sites under the name "one country boy" posting many messages to many women. >> it's my understanding several hundreds, at least several hundreds. >> reporter: it is not at all clear when this case will come to trial or if it is even complete. what is known is this, investigators are still looking, still wondering if there might be other victims hidden in these woods. legibakov in jail has not yet entered a plea of guilt or innocence. his grandfather told a newspaper he had a perfect upbringing, a perfect normal child, "the cody i know wouldn't do that." >> this was where the body of cynthia mays was discovered. >> reporter: authorities won't say if he's talking, won't say how the women were good. doug leslie thinks maybe that's good. >> i don't think there's a bar

strong enough to hold me. >> reporter: for now all he knows is his daughter is gone and only by chance her suspected killer was caught. tom foreman, cnn, vanderoof, british columbia. >> mary ellen o'toole is a former fbi protiler, worked on a lot of profile cases, the unabomber, the smart kidnapping cases, i spoke with her earlier. mary ellen you say the age of the suspect is really stunning in this case. why? >> well, he's so young, to have committed these murders. normally we see serial sexual killers starting to act out, maybe their mid to late 20s and are apprehended maybe into their 30s, but when you see this kind of behavior, as a teenager, he really is unique in that way. >> authorities are saying that he didn't have any sort of record with police. does that surprise you, if in fact he's guilty?

>> it doesn't surprise me, and here's why. he is very young, but the absence of a formal criminal record does not mean that criminal behavior is absent. as a matter of fact, you don't just go one day being a normal regular person and the next day snapping into a serial killer. so there would have been behaviors along the way that he engaged in that were criminal. he just did not get identified and apprehended for them. >> it he scriptions of him being well-liked and charming, are those the adjectives that usual describe serial killers? >> i've certainly heard that about many serial killers and interviewed many serial killers and one of the distinctive features about many of them, if not most of them, is that they are engaging, they're charming and they're very glib, and they have that persona of being very normal. >> socialia media played a role in the death of the four victims things like e-mail, facebook, texting, is it changing the crimes of serial killers, is it

making connecting with people maybe easier? >> well, i think it is changing. i've seen this now in a number of cases, and what's so interesting to me is that through social networking, there is now another filter by which that individual has to show the victim, hey, i'm normal. i'm not going to hurt you. i'm not a threat to you, so that filter is done through his linguistic patterns or through his words. >> what doesn't make sense to you in all of this? is there something that stands out as not fitting a profile besides obviously the age? >> he's sophisticated, older for his years in that he has several scene. he's got a contact scene and probably has murder scenes and then he has a body disposal site. >> when you say scenes what do you mean? >> when i say scenes, we look for as an fbi profiler, we would look for how many scenes are involved in one of these cases. we look for the scene where he

first made contact with the victim, and in this case through social networking, but then at some point he had to really meet her in person. the more scenes can actually imply the more sophisticated the offender, because he understands that if he does everything at one scene, there is a greater likelihood of him leaving evidence, being seen by someone, so separating out those scenes becomes indicative of someone who has really thought this through like a predator. >> that's really interesting. i had never heard that term before. mary ellen o'toole, i appreciate it, thank you. >> you're very welcome. thank you. up next now, syria, caught practicing the big lie, there's no other way to put it, syrian foreign minister sharing graphic videos, claims that they showed terrorist groups committing crimes in syria this year, but they aren't from this year and they rnt frae searen't from syr. an official decision on coach joe paterno's at penn state. and a fashionista has trouble in the airport security

keeping them honest again tonight, for months, syria's leaders have been lying about what's taken place inside their country and tonight another lie exposed. soeria's foreign minister gave a news conference on monday the same day a damning u.n. report was released. the report found syrian security and military forces have committed crimes against humanity. now all along the syrian government has said that armed terrorist gangs are causing the violence. the foreign minister shared several videos he claims showed

killings in syria by the alleged terrorist gangs but the video looked familiar to the lebanese network future tv, they traced it back to 2008. turns out it was a shot in tripoli, lebanon. he claimed the next video showed a syrian citizen being killed by armed gangs. most of it is too gruesome to show you. we blurred part of it but it may be hard to look at. the video was shot in may 2010 also in lebanon, not syria. the man is an alleged egyptian murderer. it appears he's been lynched. i talked about all this with xe dun, a syrian activist. to protect him we're only using his first name. zaidoun, first of all how are you doing and what are you seeing in terms of violence? >> well, anderson, it is just getting crazier ae ieier and cr. i mean, things are getting worse. maybe before the arab league initiative, there was killing, now it is more. you just saw the conference held

by the minister of the regime. he was claiming that there are no tanks in the cities. now i cannot just understand that, when i can see tanks on a daily basis, and nothing has changed. the same violence is there, arresting people on a daily basis, killing people on a daily basis. today we lost almost 20, 25 lives, half of them in hama. nothing has changed. in fact, it is turning more into just crazy violence. >> the syrian foreign minister you said gave this news conference on monday and he showed very graphic videos allegedly depicting violence against civilians by what he described as terrorist gangs, except it was very dishonest. some of the video wasn't even from syria, nor was it even shot this year.

what you can tell us about how the government there is trying to blame the violence on these so-called terrorist gangs? >> sorry for laughing but let me just explain something to you. this regime cannot do anything right, even lying. they are bad even at lying. it did not take us more than one or two hours to show all these lies. moreover, while he was talking, i could not stop myself just running to facebook and just writing that this guy is lying. i can see tanks right now. and even though there is some now violence from the other side, who caused that? it was caused just by the regime itself. now people are talking about defending themselves. they have peacefully demonstrating for the past eight and a half months and the regime is just facing that with more violence and with more killings and shooting and all these things. now, don't blame these people if

they defend. making, taking into consideration that all the videos he showed were just fake. none of them was true, was really funny. i don't know, they don't even have good guys to find something that could be fabricated in a bitter way? i don't know. they are bad in everything, even in just lying but please, the people of syria, i believe in you. i beg you, do not react to what the government is doing. our day of freedom is coming. this country will live. we will die, yes, but this country will live forever. >> you really believe a day of freedom is coming still? >> yes, i do. >> zaidoun, thank you for talking to us. please stay safe. >> don't worry, thank you very much, anderson. >> thank you. >> thank you very much. take care. >> a lot of very brave people in syria right now. let's check other stories we're following. gary?

these guy

tile now for the ridiculist. tonight i got to add a guy named ed schultz. before we begin, let me just say a few things. i think cable news feuds are stupid and i think when tv anchors try to start feuds with other tv anchors it's usually a sign they're worried about their

own ratings and trying everything they possibly can to get attention and boost said ratings. so i wasn't really surprised to hear that this guy ed schultz decided to suddenly take a shot at me the other day. i don't really know who ed schultz is. i think i met him once in passing years ago, but i have never actually seen his show. i'm told he yells a lot, and i know he works at msnbc and i know he's moved around in various time slots. that is it. okay, also, writing this today i also found out that he makes a lot of inappropriate comments about other people that he then has to apologize for and/or get suspended for like this one from his radio show. >> do you know what they're talking about like this right-wing slut, what ear her name, laura ingraham? yeah sheers' a talk slut. >> "gq" has written a is atisat

list of the 25 least influential people alive. do you watch the ed show on msnbc? of course you don't. no one does. the only reason people watch the ed show is they're working out in a hotel gym they can't find a staff member to change the cha nl to espn." why anyone, anyone would care what someone says about them in a humor column in "gq" i cannot understand. is apparently his inclusion on the list has to be a conspiracy between "gq" and me. the other day on his radio show he said this,. >> i know that anderson cooper floats around in that "gq" crowd, i don't know whether he's behind it or their publicists at cnn, let me just say i'm kicking his ass. >> what? here i am just living my life doing my thing, and this person i don't even know says this.

now as for the kicking my ass part i'm assuming he's talking about ratingins and his stateme can be easily debated, i'll spare you the minutia, trust me nothing will make your eyes glaze over faster but i takish auto you with the contention that i "float around in the gq crowd." i don't know where the "gq" crowd is. it's silly, everyone knows imz' far too busy campaigning to get gary tuchman named next year's sexiest man alive in "people" magazine and you think "golf digest" best putters of 2007 is going to write itself? my schedule is full. look at some of the other people who made the 25 least influential list. there's paul reiser, princess beatrice, the go i who predicted the rapture was going to happen this year and tila tequila. i wasn't going to
