several bias intimidation charges. tyler clementi committed u side after learning that ravi spied on him. he could face up to ten years in prison and deportation to india. the u.s. soldier accused of killing 16 afghan civilians in a shooting spree is now returning to the united states. that's according to his defense lawyer who spoke to the soldier on the phone. >> i conveyed his family's love for him. i told him i did not want to speak to him about the specifics of the case because i don't trust the phone not being monitored. i can tell you that i just learned that he is now on his way to ft. levenworth, kansas, and i'm to have a phone conversation with him this morning at 6:00 a.m. seattle time but he's in transit to ft. levenworth right now. in afghanistan, hamid karzai met with families of those killed in the shooting rampage. he says he doesn't believe the

military's explanation of what happened. and north korea set to launch a satellite next month that is going to mark the 100th birthday. there have been missile tests in disguise. the state department is calling the news highly provocative. and it's game on. president obama is raising money in chicago to raise more campaign cash. vice president biden, he is in fighting mode and in a speech to auto workers yesterday blasted republicans who opposed the industry bailout. >> he made the tough call and president obama was right and they are dead wrong. >> afghan president hamid karzai says he is not buying the u.s.

military's version of the shooting spree in which 16 afghan civilians were killed. president karzai met with family members and elders from the village where an american soldier was blamed for going house to house in a deadly rampage. we're going to go live to kabul. sara sidner is joining us. president karzai says he doesn't believe what he u.s. military and u.s. officials are saying about this. what is he saying? >>. >> they said that they could not possibly say this is one soldier on his own and he went from house to house. he tied up some of the people that he ended up burning some of the people in their own homes and they just don't believe this is the work of one man. mr. karzai reiterated, based on what you're saying, it sounds like this wasn't the work of one man.

he also said that his investigators are not buying this surveillance video that they have been shown. they have been shown a surveillance video by u.s. officials that it reportedly showed a u.s. soldier accused of this coming back to the base after this attack. and they are saying that they suspect that this might not be a video that really shows what really happened that night and if it really is from that date. so there's a lot of skepticism going on here, suzanne. >> and does karzai have his own investigation going on as well? >>. >> reporter: yes. he does have a team of people that are investigating the incident. we know that he sent them a couple of days ago, from kandahar, from the province to speak to people. he also talked about appointing someone to head to that investigation as well in the comes days. he's invited the villagers back tomorrow to say we'll do it in a traditional way. but you can tell that there's definitely a strained relationship right now between him and even with president

obama because he called mr. obama this morning. they had a conversation this morning and mr. obama was, quote, upset for him for trying to move up the timeline to the transition and getting it to happen in 2013 instead of 2014. suzanne? >> how did he describe that conversation? that president obama is upset with him? he did say what president obama actually told him? >> he didn't he said that he was upset with him. it's interesting because the press office sent out a release that seemed a little more diplomatic, if you will, and those words were used. he spoke mostly to the villagers because those are the languages that they would use. we are going through the translations right now. he certainly seemed to have shall, as he said, this is the end of the rope when he was talking about all of the incidents that have happened here. what that means going forward, we'll have to wait and see but saying statements like this, this is the end of the rope, we

keep telling the u.s. over and over again, things keep happening over and over and over again. we'll have to wait and see. it seems like the relationship is getting more and more strained. >> sara, is there any reaction now that the soldier accused of the shooting rampage is now heading back to the united states? >> reporter: yes. the reaction is we're very upset with this. mr. karzai says that he does not think that the u.s. treated them fairly. the investigators were not given the kind of cooperation that they expected from the united states when it came to being able to speak with this soldier who is accused in this massacre. so, yes, there is some anger there but interestingly enough we have to mention there have been no protests today and when you saw the koran burnings and the reaction from that, 40 people killed, including u.s. service members, there has been no protesting in the streets today. so a difference with how regular people are reacting to this and we went to the streets and people are angry but not on the

streets protesting. >> sara sidner, thank you so much. now on to the top of the story that we just mentioned. it's a case that has sent shock waves throughout one new jersey college, the rutgers' campus. it's also caused a national conversation ongoing. a rutgers university student accused of spying on his roommate with a webcam. that event led to the tragic suicide of 18-year-old tyler clementi. now dharun ravi could face up to ten years in prison after being found guilty of bias intimidation, among other charges. paul joins us from new york of all, why is it that ravi was found guilty and causing sexual contact in between two individuals without their consent over the internet.

second, that this was done with bias against gay people and the third party of the case had to do with destruction of the evidence and trying to cover up the case. and to any one of the subquestions, he was guilty of the main counts. so when the verdict was read, it sounded like he was being found not guilty of some of the counts. but when i've looked over the sheet now, he was found guilty of every count that he was charged with. every count was accepted by the jury and he's facing potentially ten years in prison at the time of sentencing.

this was a first-time use of invasion of privacy law an important law in new jersey and prosecutors were vindicated by the verdict. >> you say this is unprecedented. why? tell us why. >> well, it's unprecedented, of course, because with social media and web cams, kids today, especially younger people, have gotten used to broadcasting their lives over the internet if you secretly record someone without their permission, and up until you sue somebody for civil and be very careful because it might be a crime in the state of

new jersey. >> two follow-ups here. does it make a difference whether the web cam is set up and it's meant to catch somebody in a compromising or sex act. that's the first question. and then secondly does it make any difference whether or not this guy was gay or straight when it kochls to this kind of sentencing that follows? >> well, the intent make as lot of the difference. i don't think they are convicted of invasion of privacy if the intent is to protect their home. here the prosecutors tried to prove that the intent was to humiliate tyler clementi and if this has h been two gay individuals t. still would have been an invasion of privacy crime and subject to five years

but because it was bias intimidation, because prosecutors proved to the jury that this was done because of anti-gay sentiment, that doubles the sentence under new jersey law to ten years. so that's how the impact of the bias intimidation or the hate crime factors in. >> paul, thank you for explaining that. thank you. paul, appreciate it. here's a rundown of some of the stories we're following in the next hour all of this weather, does it have a downfall? can't lose weight, stress level may have something to do with that. george clooney may have a cause that he believes in. there are more people taking more medication, so we see people suffering from dry mouth more so. we may see more cavities, bad breath, oral irritation. a dry mouth sufferer doesn't have to suffer. i would recommend biotene. the enzymes in biotene products help supplement enzymes

a battle over language shaking up the presidential race. george clooney proving he will go to any length to fight for his clause. and later, made in america, is it really making a comeback? a hard look at the numbers. so should puerto rico be required to speak english? santorum said to become a state, english must be the principle language. i want to bring in our political panels. republican strategist lenny mccallister in chicago, good to see you. ed espinoza, it doesn't take english to be required as a condition for statehood, why do you think this has struck such a

nerve? >> puerto rico, we don't call it rich port. we call it puerto rico. it's a spanish-speaking territory. can you imagine if somebody went up to massachusetts and new york and said, you've got to speak with a different accent? listen, this is their native language and they are americans. they speak many languages there, nish being one of them. we talk about state's rights. let's talk about territorial rights. >> we've already seen some people in puerto rico say, i'm not going to support you guys. >> it could have a backlash. we're talking about something that is going to unify the country. ed said something about not talking about changing the constitution, an amendment or a statewide amendment.

he was saying the principle language to unite the country should be english, just like it is in the 50 states. we're not talking about an ak sent like ed brought up in massachusetts or new york. we're talking about a language. there needs to be some unifiers, language is one of them. it wasn't that big of a deal but if it spun the wrong way and santorum and the other republicans can't pivot it directly, it's going to be a wedge issue, the same way these women issues, that is played against republicans. >> here's what caught our attention. santorum's official website. there's something new on it here. it's talking about that he's taking on this war on pornography, it's toxic to relationships and contributes to misogony and prostitution and sex trafficking. ed, do you think this is the kind of thing that people are going to be talking about, discussing? does it make a difference to people when they look at their

candidates? >> no. in fact, when the economy is growing, unemployment is going down, what do you have left to talk about? they can talk about gays, they can talk about abortion, and now they are going to talk about porn. it's not going to fix anything in the economy. let people do what they want to do and live and let live. >> lenny, why do you suppose this is on the website? >> well, i think that rick santorum needs the will robinson thing screaming, danger rick santorum, danger. the controversy with the contraception that they took on that, the social issues are what has eroded away rick santorum's lead with even the conservative base in these republican primaries, let alone how he looks for the general election. here's another example of a number where this should not be an issue. people do not mind hearing this from a candidate or a political leader or a civic leader. this is a miscalculation that

the santorum campaign is going to need to clean up, get back on message with the economy which is 8.3%, there's a problem. they need to be articulating that. not the problems of porn in america. >> lenny says, quick, fast, in a hurry, clean this up. i want to switch to the obama campaign. things have been low key but not anymore. they've got the president out campaigning. he's going to be in atlanta later. of course, you've got biden as an attack dog. listen to what he said yesterday in ohio. >> the president and i made a bet. a sill pel bet. we bet on you. we bet on american ingenuity and we won. chrysler, fastest growing car company in america. >> i've seen the largest profits

jones is there. do we know where clooney is. >> reporter: we're sitting outside of the district headquarters of metropolitan police. they've been inside all this time. i just spoke with secret service who said that the charges -- they didn't act with civil disobedience. clooney joined with others like his father and naacp president and others to protest the ongoing humanitarian crisis in sudan and to call on the government to allow in food aid. there are hundreds and thousands of people there in southern blue nile state in southern sudan on the border with south sudan, which is a newly independent country and there's been fighting going on with rebels there. people are caught in the mix there and they are facing potential starvation because they haven't been able to plant.

it is michigan. and one of the big drivers of that is because of mass layoffs that have tapered down dramatically. you see that pike in 2007, in july alone that year, you saw 36,000 jobs lost. in one month. in one month. so that has really tapered off, suzanne. that's being driven a lot by the auto industry. it's doing much, much better. over the past year or so we've seen auto sales up 11.5%. where is that? fewer used cars on the road. the increase is consumer confidence. that's a great thing and drives people to spend a lot of money on new cars. also, when you have auto jobs added, what we're told is for every auto job you add, five to six related jobs are added. that is boosting the entire economy. however, you have to look at the individual companies, right, the big three, and how they are doing. a lot of jobs added also. gm, 4700 jobs added in a

one-year period. ford, 230. chrysler, 4800. ford says they will add more jobs in michigan this year. we have to put all of this in perspective. when you look at 2007 to 2010, in detroit alone, those companies cut more than 30,000 jobs, according to the senator for automotive research. they are not back to where we were and of course two of those companies, gm and chrysler got the bailout. we reported on a lot and they are still struggling. 11% unemployment in detroit. but we are on the mend, especially in a state like michigan. >> and what about the auto manufacturing? is it helping other parts of the country as well? >> it is. it's helping in the south where you are. georgia. there is a county north of where you are called walker county, georgia. that county saw the biggest decline in unemployment from december 2010 to december of last year. unemployment fell from 11.3% to

other factories some related to the auto industry. i spent time down in chattanooga, tennessee. foreign auto company, vw came in and invested a billion dollars and created thousands of jobs. you're seeing a lot happening in the south where foreign automakers are coming in and building across the south to not only sell those cars here but to export them. we are seeing exports pick up but we have a huge way to go to get our manufacturing base back to where it was. some experts say we're not going to get back there, but at least we're picking up a little bit. >> a little bit of good news. thank you, poppy. appreciate it. >> sure. do you eat a lot? a new study shows women vulnerable to overeat when they are at work, 230 women found that had emotional and uncontrolled eating than those not burned out. you can do something about it. pack healthy snacks, like baby

this evening the army sergeant accused of killing 16 afghan civilians is expected to arrive at fort leavenworth in kansas. that is the world's top maximum security prison. we learned that this soldier was on his fourth combat tour of duty, three in iraq and this one in afghanistan. a while ago i talked to is he ba -- sebastian younger. take a listen. >> i think one of the things that keep them well, they're decent people and they don't want innocent blood on their hands. i saw many occasions where they

were in combat and there were civilians nearby and they held their fire even though they were getting fired at because they didn't want to risk killing civilians. another thing that keeps them honest and keeps them ethical is that they understand that if they alien aate the local population that the population will turn against them, will support the taliban, and more american soldiers will get killed, their brothers will get killed. that's a very strong motivator in terms of ethical behavior in combat. frankly, there was not much fondness among the american soldiers for the afghan people, let's just be honest here, but the last thing any of them wanted to do was create a situation that got other americans killed. they knew that murder would do that, and so, you know, in some ways, coming from where i'm coming from, the actions of this soldier are really puzzling because he absolutely jep a

jeopardized other american soldiers in the field. >> given what we know about this soldier, his background, his experience, we know that he was injured in war, that he had served several tours of duty in iraq before going to afghanistan. do you think that he should have been there in the first place? >> it's impossible for me to evaluate that. i mean, by now almost everyone has served multiple tours and many people have been wounded. and all of them volunteered for the service. so i can't evaluate that. i think you really can't generalize. i think one level of stress that breaks one person makes another person stronger, and i think somehow the military, i'm sure they're working on trying to evaluate individuals because you can't apply a kind of boilerplate standard to everybody, obviously. >> sebastian younger, appreciate it. they have not released the soldier's name, only that his home base is in washington state. he reportedly suffered a brain injury during one of his iraq deployments. the guy who made the movie

james cameron is a guy who is not going to rest. he's already surrounded by oscar awards, right, he's a hollywood legend. but there he is, squeezed into a submarine way out into the pacific. he's about to attempt a major endeavor, a dangerous one as

well. we're with jason live in new york. jason, this is pretty cool. you've been out there numerous times. you were personally invited to go the deepest place on earth. we want to know when it's happening. >> reporter: well, good question. weather permitting the dive to this place should be within about a week or so. again, they're at the mercy of mother nature. and the place we're talking about is the mariona trench the the deepest place is 35,000 feet down, that's about 7 miles. imagine the pressure at those depths. we're talking about 16,000 pounds of pressure per square inch. try to put that in perspective. if you look at your thumbnail, imagine putting 8 tons on your thumbnail. that's the kind of pressure cameron and his vessel will be under once he attempts this dive. cameron invited us along for a series of test dives because you have to make sure the

submersible that he's built is able to withstand the pressure when they do eventually do the big dive. so it was fascinating to be there, to witness what was taking place. you know, suzanne, cameron has been under criticism in some ways from folks who say, what's a hollywood director doing this type of scientific expedition? a lot of people don't know, suzanne, that cameron has been a deep sea explorer for many, many years, he's dreamed about it ever since he was a child. and i asked him, are you more the explorer, are you more the filmmaker? i want you to listen to what he had to say. >> am i an explorer who does films on the side or am i a filmmaker who does exploration on the side? i have a hard time deciding, but there is a good overlap between the two. to me where the rubber meets the road is where it's not scripted. the ocean doesn't read the script and it doesn't show up and doesn't do its lines, you have to adapt and adjust and be prepared and all that and be

prepared to see something new and unknown and react to that. >> reporter: so cameron has been out there, and because he is a director, he's also going to be shooting this expedition in 3-d. he's out there with the folks from national geographic who have been supporting him and helping him for several years in order to make this happen. so it's very exciting to those in the deep sea community, those who love exexploration, and tho who want to see, in fact, what's down there 7 miles deep. suzanne? >> it's very exciting. he is risking his life, there's no doubt about it. tell us about your special over the weekend. >> reporter: that's going to air tomorrow night at 10:30 on cnn, so if you're not out celebrating for st. patrick's day, i hope you'll watch it, and if you are, maybe you can dvr it. you'll learn what the test phases of this are like, you'll hear more from cameron. it takes the team that surrounds him to make this extreme dive

happen. >> good stuff. you can wear green, celebrate, enjoy, watch from the bar, whatever. it's going to be a great special. good to see you, jason. have a great weekend. happy st. patty's day. >> and to you. >> cnn continues now with brooke baldwin. hey, brooke. >> hey, suzanne. we now know the verdict of the rutgers university student accused of spying and intimidating his gay roommate who then went on to commit suicide. dharun ravi guilty of violation, intimidation, violation of privacy, tampering with evidence and several other charges. this young man here could now face up to ten years in jail and possibly be deported to his native india. tyler clemente was his roommate. he jumped to his death off the george washington bridge. that was back in 2010, and ravi had spied on clemente's

suspected encounters with another man with a webcam and shared it with others on twitter. i want to talk about this guilty re verdict. big surprise or no? >> reporter: big surprise across the board. a lot of people had perceptions of what happened in the trial, but when you looked at the specifics and details of what happened in that trial, it is pretty remarkable that on every single count, the jury in some aspects found mr. ravi guilty of both invasion of privacy and then the compounding factor, biassed intimidation. >> we know his father, tyler clemente's father, addressed these young people after the verdict was read. let's take a look at that. >> to our college, high school and even middle school youngsters, i would say this. you're not necessarily -- you're

going to meet a lot of people in your lifetime. some of these people you may not like. but just because you don't like them does not mean you have to work against them. when you see somebody doing something wrong, tell them, that's not right. stop it. you can make the world a better place. the change you want to see in the world begins with you. >> it's been just about two years since they lost their son. just describe their reaction as the verdict was read, miguel. >> reporter: well, they held onto each other. james, their other son, was also there. mr. and mrs. clemente held onto their other son, james, who was in the courtroom. it appeared mrs. clemente began to cry as the jury was reading. a very lengthy and complicated result that they put in. for mr. ravi's part, he was emotionless, i think probably in

shock. he seemed to stare down at the floor, not able to look at the jury as they read those results, but the family clearly in court every single day or almost every single day if not every single day of this trial. certainly happy that this part of it is done, but it's not clear to me that they will ever feel closure in this case. >> as for dharun ravi, as we mentioned, he could be going to jail for ten years, and it's so important just to reemphasize, had it not been for social media, right, had he not tweeted about what he saw, he may not be in court today. >> the prosecutors really built their case around this. he saw clemente -- nothing he ever said was sort of virulently anti-gay, he was never really, really mean to him, but when he saw him -- when he turned on his webcam, saw him and mb, this visitor that he had making out or kissing, had other people present there and then tweeted about it, telling the world, or at least telling his friends around him who then told their

friends, and then two days later when clemente asked to use the room again, he then tweeted again saying that, you know, tune in, dial in to my webcam, you can see it for yourselves, my roommate is at it again with this visitor. clemente looked at ravi's twitter feed at least 38 times after that very first tweet went out, worried about what else was coming. he was clearly concerned about what this guy was putting out to people all up and down the dorm where he was staying, people that he would be going to school with. he was clearly a shy guy who was very embarrassed by it. >> miguel marques, thank you very much. meantime, let's get you caught up on everything else making news here this hour. rapid fire. let's go. first up, an american soldier accused of that massacre in afghanistan is to arrive a little later today in the u.s. the still unidentified soldier has reportedly left kuwait and

of mass murder in afghanistan is now on his way back to america. he has hired a prominent civilian attorney who spoke at length today to cnn. this attorney told us this so far unidentified soldier is due to arrive late this afternoon. he's going to be held at ft. leavenworth, kansas. they have a high security prison, and you can see there is an airstrip, as well, as we hone in, plenty of room next to that prison to land a chopper if need be, and you can bet this transfer today will take place with the highest security. we're going to hear from this attorney. he has spoken with his client by phone, says he is a highly decorated soldier, is a family man and he's disputing what we've heard so far that there might be an issue with his marriage, because of this report by unnamed military sources. again, here's his lawyer. >> i know for a fact that the marital problem issue is totally bogus. and i'm not -- i'm a little

concerned as to why that's being floated out there by the government. the other part is anyone who is in afghanistan right now, particularly someone who has been in iraq three times previously and been injured, would obviously be under a great deal of stress. stress is always a factor. i know for a fact that ls there no issue with his marriage. it's a very strong marriage and we're all taking offense to that. whether there was alcohol involved or not, i simply don't know. i haven't spoken with my client about that. >> kasey kahne -- casey is standing outside. what do you know about this lawyer who is representing the soldier who killed 16 afghan civilians last sunday? >> reporter: that interview took place on sunday after he was still being held in kuwait. now you know he is being sent back to the united states.

the attorney said he wanted to send his love to his family and we asked him if he expressed any kind of remorse about this shooting incident. the attorney said he would not have any comment on that. he did say, however, that the soldier seemed unaware of some of the circumstances surrounding this case, and that was very much of concern to the attorney. let's listen. >> he seemed distant and kind of like a deer in the headlights, but okay. i conveyed his family's love for him. i told him i did not want to speak to him about specifics of the case because i don't trust the phone not being monitored. i don't know what the facts are. he seemed to be unaware of some of the facts i talked to him about, which makes me concerned about his state of mind, obviously. >> casey, i just wanted to ask you about this civilian attorney. his name is john henry browne. how did he get hooked up with this particular client, this

soldier? >> reporter: the family requested that he represent this soldier, john henry browne. he's a very high-profile defense attorney here in the seattle area. he has defended the so-called ba barefoot bandit recently several years back. he also represented ted bundy and one former military attorney suggested surprise that this military person would hire someone. but apparently his family did ask browne to represent him despite concerns about his safety. browne will do that. he will be paid by the family, according to mr. browne, brooke. >> what about the safety of this soldier's family? according to what i read, he's married, he has two children, very young children, do we know where they are? is the military going to great lengths to protect them? >> absolutely. that's a primary concern. that's why the military says they have not released this soldier's name. his wife and two children,

contrary to some previous two reports that were out there that they had been moved off of the base, the joint base louis mccord in seattle here in the tacoma area. according to mr. browne, the family remains on that base which seems to be a safe place for them to be, brooke. >> i want to bring in an adjunct professor of military law. he is a former marine prosecutor. sir sir, welcome. the unnamed military officer here has hired this high-level criminal lawyer. would you rather go up a civilian attorney or a military lawyer? >> i think i would prefer to go up against a military lawyer because we would both be familiar with the rules in the courtroom and how to get to the con convening authority and where the levers are in that particular jurisdiction. it's always nice to be in your

familiar surroundings that you've worked with before so you know how to best -- to most effectively operate. >> let me play a little bit more sound as we're hearing from the attorney of this accused soldier. and he is talking specifically here about the prospect of putting the entire war in afghanistan on trial. it's pretty interesting remarks. take a listen with me. >> i am old enough to remember the massacre in vietnam and how that hastened the end of that war. maybe a tragic incident like this will get people to rethink the war in general. i certainly don't want to put the war on trial, but i think that people should start thinking more about why we're there and how long we're going to stay there. >> it does sound as if you're going to put the war on trial, though. >> we'll see. >> we'll see, he says. gary, do you see any advantage, if you look at this sort of tactically speaking from the

defense perspective, that they could gain by turning this into a political trial, a trial about the war itself? >> good luck. i was in vietnam when meli went down. i was a commanding lieutenant in the marine corps. if i'm a judge in this case, i'm not going to let him go there. that's not what the case is about. it's about the guilt or innocence of the accused, not the justness or unjustness of the war. i don't think he'll make much progress if he attempts to put the war on trial. >> what if he doesn't do it in the courtroom but he does it publicly? >> he can do whaetever publicly he's free to do that and welcome to do so. but in the courtroom, this is a case only about the guilt or innocence of the accused. if indeed this case gets to trial, i have my doubts. >> why do you doubt that? >> because i think this is a case tailor-made for a mental

capacity defense, an insanity defense, whether the accused suffered from a defect of the mind that kept him from seeing the wrongfulness of his acts. i think that's going to be a significant issue in this trial and i wonder if we'll ever see it go to trial. >> how would the defense go about proving that? we don't even know if there are issues. he suffered some sort of head injury in iraq and he did go to a medical center as a result of that before going to afghanistan, but how would the defense prove that and when? >> you just showed him how. this is his fourth combat tour. ptsd is on everybody's minds, he's been injured in combat before, and as he said, everybody at that base is under a high amount of stress. so those are issues which could constitute a start down a road towards mental incapacity. we heard his lawyer said he didn't seem to know what was going on, deer in the headlights and so forth, so i think that's very definitely a possibility.

the defense does have the burden of proving mental inkpcapacity. but i think there is a basis for such an offense here. >> what about gary? he had been through three deployments in iraq, and this was his fourth in afghanistan. if this goes to trial, could it impact the conduct of this war, future wars, multiple deployment? and also in this soldier's case, spinning him back out, as we just discussed, because of his head injury and also some sort of serious foot injury he sustained in iraq. >> no, i don't think it will be an issue for deployments. what we have now is a volunteer army. four deployments is a lot in a combat zone, but it's not unique. three or four months ago, one of our soldiers was killed on his seventh deployment. we have marines and soldiers who have been over there five, six times. so this is not going to change

our deployment schedule. this is a case of criminalality -- criminality who i believe has a defense in that he has been sent overseas so often but i don't think it will change our deployment schedules. we can't afford to. we only have so many soldiers and so many responsibilities over there. >> and so much money to spend. gary solis, thank you. a teen caged in a closet, strapped to a bed, locked in a bathroom for days, maybe weeks at a time. i'm talking about a 13-year-old boy who weighs all of 40 pounds. coming up next, why he was locked up and what happened to the other four kids in the home. also, we have a close eye here. live pictures. do we see george clooney? george and his father nick part of this whole melee, it looks like, outside of this jail in washington, d.c. they were arrested after protesting outside the sudanese

embassy an hour or two hours ago. can we dip in and listen? let's listen. >> hey, knuckleheads. >> you talk to ing to me? >> he called you a knucklehead. what we've been trying to achieve today is we're trying to bring attention to an ongoing emergency, one that's got about a six-week timetable before the rainy season starts and a lot of people are going to die from it. our job right now is to try to bring attention to it. one of those ways was apparently getting arrested. i guess we're not allowed to hang out at the sudanese embassy. >> i didn't know that. >> i didn't know that, either. >> all i want to say is this whole sudanese issue has scarred

my son and me for many years, since our first visit there in 2006. it continues to be an ongoing tragedy. we want to do anything we can to ensure that tragedy ends in our lifetime. and i must say in my case, that's not very long, so i'm hoping we're going to finish this up and get something going so we can all see these people go home and find some peace. >> if the words never again mean anything, it means people of conscious have to stand up when anti-cleansing is taking place, and this manmade famine, these tawdry talks, are aimed at just that. these public figures -- >> well, this is something i thought i'd never say, but as we mentioned before, george clooney arrested today as he and his father, nick clooney, a member of the naacp, members of

congress, several others, as they were mentioning, arrested outside the sudanese embassy. police did warn them a couple times, they were arrested, they were hauled off to jail and they're speaking. let's listen to george clooney one more time. >> there are people dying every day there. there were 34 people killed in a month and a half time in one village alone. about 500 people injured. that's from random bombing of civilians. these are not military targets at all. these are the antanovs flying over the top and opening up their cargo doors and dropping bombs out. it's also from these 3-millimeter rockets. they are not very good at hitting their targets, but they're big, so they hit a lot. first and foremost, there has been immediate danger of that. but what is the real looming danger is this. they're trying to choke these people out and get them to leave. it's their land, it's the oldest

society in the world, they've lived there a long, long time. they're not leaving their land, they're hiding in caves while these bombs go on. in the meantime, they've been unable to farm their land, and when they did, their farms were burned. what we're facing now is hundreds of thousands of people who are looking at the possibility of starvation because the rainy season is coming. and when the rainy season comes in six weeks, even when, if the government of sudan says, okay, we'll allow aid in, it will be too late. we can't get up those roads. and anybody who has been there understands it is impossible to travel those roads. so it needs to start now, because best estimate are tens of thousands of people are going to die from starvation that is manmade. this isn't a famine, this is a manmade tragedy by the government of kartum to get these people to leave. it's immediate, i think.

>> do you think you accomplished something by getting arrested? >> you never know if you're accomplishing anything, all we're trying to do is bring attention to a moment in time that is actually important. we hope this brings attention to it, we hope it helps with both the parties on the hill have been great supporters of these issues, but this was very much a republican issue. it is also very much a democratic issue. so we hope it gives some more political will and focuses some more and all of you here help do that, and we appreciate that, and we hope that the people understand that there really is a ticking clock on this and we need to get moving. >> mr. clooney, you've been supporting this for the last few years. can you point to some progress that's been made? >> there's been amazing progress at times. the referendum creating an entire new southern state without any bloodshed is monumental. that's a real complement to the chinese who acknowledge the

southern state which made it very difficult for the north to do much. it's a great complement to the administration and the hard sort of personal work that they did on putting together these leaders in making sure that that happened. they've been through great strides. but on the other hand, there is an awful lot that keeps going on. it's still a problem and it's still going on. when i went there a year ago, it was 120,000 people. there's no one there now. they have been either killed or moved into camps. so these are all ongoing problems all by the exact same people, the same men charged with war crimes against humanity at the hague are responsible for this and they want these people off that land. it's that simple. if they would stop doing that, we would appreciate it, you know. >> how are they treating you in there? >> it was really rough, you can imagine. have you ever been in a cell with these guys? why don't you ask him.

>> no, no, no. >> joking about it just a little bit, sharing a smile with his father now. george clooney fresh out of jail in washington after being arrested at that sudanese embassy. if you want to keep watching this, you can. pop open that computer and go to cnn.com/live. he was on the hill talking with the president about what happened with the atrocities in sudan. obviously very passionate about it. we do have video of the arrests going down. we're going to share that with you in a moment. be right back. deep wrinkle night cream. it's clinically proven to give 10 years back to the look of skin. now for maximum results... the power of roc® retinol is intensified with a serum to create retinol correxion® max. it's proven to be 4x better at smoothing lines and deep wrinkles than professional treatments. new roc® retinol correxion® max. nothing's better than gold.

and now this is just one of those stories.

we sit around in the morning meeting saying, do we share this? it's pretty tough to tell but we want to tell it because it's just an example of why as a society we can do better. this one comes out of central florida and involves a father and his girlfriend. they are now in jail. police in bravard county say this man's 13-year-old son was found locked up and lying on the floor of a bathroom. basically, according to police, the boy was caged. we'll let police explain. >> we got called out this evening to an unlawful caging. came out, did our investigation, were able to determine that a child had been held here. this occurred over a period of time. we're still trying to narrow down what the time range is. i believe over a couple of months. >> so that's disturbing enough. but now consider this. the 13-year-old boy the police found weighs only 40 pounds. think about that for a moment. 40 pounds. that's the average weight of a

five-year-old. this boy is 13. >> what did you do to that child? you almost killed him, they say. >> hmm. not much to say. father, michael marshall, being charged with aggravated child abuse and false imprisonment. he told police he caged the boy and didn't feed him for punishment for stealing food after food was being held from him. he stole food because he wasn't being allowed to eat. in other words, he was starving. sometimes the boy was locked in a closet, sometimes strapped to a bed, sometimes locked in a bathroom. police found four other kids in the house. they are all in protective custody. this case yet another reminder, if you see something, say something because we can do better. handcuffs latched onto george clooney. we're going to watch the complete tape of the arrest at the sudanese embassy right after

all right, back to our hollywood leading man here, george clooney, arrested not too long ago leading this protest in washington. the actor handcuffed in front of the sudanese embassy. his own father there with him. he was hauled away as well along with congress men, rights activists. they were protesting the sudan government and how they were acting with their own people. i want you to watch as the whole melee unfolded earlier this morning. >> we're here really to ask two very simple questions. the first question is something immediate, and immediate we will need humanitarian aid to be allowed into sudan before it becomes the worst humanitarian crisis in the world. immediately. the second thing we are here to ask is a very simple thing, is for the government in kartum to stop randomly killing its own

innocent men, women and children. stop raping them and stop starving them. that's all we ask. >> mr. clooney, mr. clooney! >> i'm not, it's the people on the other side of me. >> my, oh, my. >> don't push. >> lots of pushing. >> well, he wanted attention on the issue, and by the looks of that crush of photographers and

reporters, it looks like he got it. meantime, the president of afghanistan, karzai, blasting america for not allowing authorities to meet with the american soldier accused of shooting and killing 16 afghan civilians this past sunday. coming up, we have lots of new details on when the soldier is supposed to be back on u.s. soil.

i want to talk more now about the massacre of the 16 afghan civilians. the american suspect is to arrive on u.s. soil very, very soon. this is all according to his newly hired civilian attorney. that was john henry browne. he said his client should arrive late this afternoon.

you're looking at ft. leavenworth, kansas. we're going to talk about this facility in just a moment with our correspondent, chris lawrence. but let's take you back to sunday morning when that massacre happened, and it continues today to strain relations between the united states and afghanistan. i want you to listen to president karzai, afghan president. >> this is the end of the road here. >> end of the road? >> end of the road. nobody can afford such luxuries anymore. >> i want to go straight to kabul to sara sidner. we heard karzai say end of the rope, end of the rope. he's not happy. about a lot of things, apparently. >> reporter: yeah, very frustrated, to say the least. he sat and listened more than an hour to village elders. some were shaking their hands and saying, we don't want any kind of compensation, give us justice. he listened to that for quite a

while and then spoke to the villageres who said they felt the same, compensation is not what this government wants, they want to see justice done. but he is not so happy about how the united states handled the investigation, because, he said, the afghan investigators were not given their due, not allowed to speak with that accused u.s. soldier, the person accused of killing 16 people in the panjwai district in kandahar. here's what he said about this investigation. >> the investigation team did not receive the cooperation that they expected from the united states. therefore, these are all questions we will be raising and raising very loudly and raising very clearly. >> we also know president karzai spoke to president obama by phone. do you have any details of that, any readout? >> reporter: yeah, he talked a little bit about that. he said that he was speaking in

postue, that mr. obama was upset with him because he had asked for this transition of nato forces being in control of the country for afghan forces to be in control of the country by 2013 as opposed to 2014, which really has been the date that was agreed upon, and he said mr. obama was upset with that. he also talked a little bit about the surveillance video that some afghan investigators have been shown. we asked him specifically, are you happy with that? did you see the video yourself? this surveillance video supposedly shows the accused u.s. soldier coming back to base, trying to sneak back into base and then comes and puts his hands up like so. and he is skeptical about the video. he says, the investigators have looked at it and they are, quote, not convinced. so there are a lot of questions, a lot of skepticism coming from the afghan government as well as the villagers who are clearly

angry not only with nato soldiers, american soldiers, but i think america as a whole. >> so questions also on the u.s. side. i want to go to the pentagon here. chris lawrence. specifically as we're waiting for the arrival of this still unnamed soldier at ft. leavenworth, kansas, do we know anything more about when he should be arriving? i imagine it will be pretty high security. >> reporter: it should be soon. if you're flying from kuwait and he's been enroute since early this morning at the very least, he should be arriving by sometime late this afternoon at the very latest. we do know that once he gets to ft. leavenworth, i just got off the phone with a representative there, when the inmate gets to ft. leavenworth, he's given a very lengthy physical and psychological evaluation. it's done on all inmates, and it gives them an indication whether

they're cleared to live with some of the other inmates or perhaps they might have to be isolated. if his confinement, so to speak, is anything like bradley manning's, the wikileaks person was, he'll be living in an 8x12 cell. it has a sink, a small window. he'll be able to be around other inmates as well. >> so it is possible he will be around other inmates. >> it is possible. he'll be in an isolated area, but if he were cleared to live with other inmates, yes, he would. >> we're talking to the prosecutor, and he doesn't think he will. the suspect's attorney hasn't ruled out a trial on the war itself. could a trial like this have a kind of impact in terms of this war, future wars, maybe multiple

deployme deployme deployments? we know this is his fourth tour. >> he wouldn't be the first defendant to do so. the war has been going on since 2001. there have been a lot of crimes committed in the last amount of years. let me bring you a quick quote, brooke. this is not about the stress of warfare. this is about heinous crimes committed against innocent civilians. that quote has nothing to do with the case we're talking about now. that was the prosecutor talking about the steve green case. he was the soldier who raped an iraqi teenager and murdered her family. so, you know, he had mood-regulating drugs that he had been prescribed, he had seen a stress counselor. so a lot of the same elements of stress, warfare stress, ptsd. those things have come up in other trials. this won't be breaking any new

ground in that area. but how successful it will be, that's the question. >> okay. chris lawrence for us in the pentagon. we'll be watching for you and awaiting the arrival of this soldier to ft. leavenworth perhaps in the coming hours, maybe later this afternoon. totally switching gears, going behind the scenes on america's industry. would you believe microbrews are part of this whole success story? they're not only tasty for beer fans but they're a great bet financially. we're going to talk to the ceo of stone brewing company to show us how he turned beer into money, next. but i found myself using three times more than you're supposed to and the clothes still weren't as clean as with tide. so we're back to tide. they're cuter in clean clothes. thanks, honey. yeah. you suck at folding.

greg, congrats on your success. before we go a little further, let's do a little craft beer 101 for people who don't know. what is craft beer? >> craft beer is essentially identified by brewers that are independent, traditional in that they don't use additives and adjuncts and they use traditional ingredients, and we are small. we're not like the major international conglomerate brewbre breweri breweries, we're small and unique and all over the country. >> what makes people ask for yours? >> we had this idea, maybe we should make this brew really, really good instead of being the lowest common denominator brew. >> beyond the best tasting beer part. what are some tips for people who are struggling in a business, thinking of starting

up an independent business. give me three pieces of advice, part of your business acumen that they could emulate. >> i think in today's economy, people are very focused on exactly what they're getting for mirr their money. as a result, if you as a business person focus on giving great quality rather than going down on what you do and trying to please everybody. i absolutely advocate ignoring everybody, instead following your own heart, following your own passion. >> so you follow your own passion. be amazing. what do you mean by be amazing. isn't that one obvious? >> well, it's not unusual that a lot of companies will actually do things they know are not amazing in the attempt to get more customers. the american public doesn't want amazing, and i disagree with that. i think the american public, when faced with great options, will make great choices. so we built our business and the craft brewers have built their

business on this very simple premise, do something that's amazing, make really great beer rather than lowest common denominator, and don't go in with the idea that people just want something that is dumbed down but instead that they maybe just want something that's great, and provide that for them. >> it sounds so simple. greg cook, congratulations to you, stone brewery in california. back to you. hope to come find you sometime. appreciate it. coming up next, an impromptu performance. i'm talking about george clinton. ♪ >> i got to sit down with this guy. he is trying to save his own musical recordings and this web site that is helping him raise the money allowing many of you to do so. that's next.

unique campaign. >> we have hundreds and hundreds of reels of track over the years and have put that stuff onto digital format now. >> no matter how big you are or how small your needs are, you can raise money. seeing george clinton to raise money to preserve his music and save his studio is incredible. >> if i'm watching, i say, okay, i guess i can give, but what's in it for me? i get a thank you from you? >> a thank you, a record, a video, a phone conversation. whatever anyone asks for, we try to accommodate that. >> i tell you, that guy couldn't have been nicer. here's where they are so far, 20,000. that's how far they are for that $50,000 goal for the george clinton foundation. if you want to catch up on all things south by southwest, check out cnn's special coverage

tomorrow 2:30 p.m. eastern right here on cnn. looking forward to that. meantime, let's talk politics. candy crowley joins us with the 2012 update. let's begin with the obama campaign because they appear to be in full swing with that debut of the 20-minute film. it's called "the road we traveled." what do we know about the strategy of the movie? a lot of big names involved here. >> it's pretty simple. it's a big, flashy, catch your attention 17-minute promotion for the president. why? number one, it's the kind of thing that tends to stir your base. the folks that might be a little unhappy with president obama because he hasn't done this or that but are nonetheless with him, it puts enthusiasm back in. you know, there's music in it that makes you feel all, you know, let's go. so it's one to stir the base, but it is also to get out there with here's my story before the republicans pick whoever their nominee is going to be and

speaks to define president obama on his terms. so this is sort of a stake in the ground, here's who i am, as well as something to play to the choir, basically, and say, now remember this. remember he did this and he did that. and so it serves kind of both those purposes. >> tom hanks is his narrator. we also see former president bill clinton. this is clinton talking about president obama's decision to green light the obama race. take a look. >> he took the harder and the more honorable path. when i saw what had happened, i thought to myself, i hope that's a call i would have made. >> candy, you hear the light music, the crescendo. is this like a locomotion? absolutely. oh, and he finally got the

terrorists we've all been looking for all these years and he made this brave decision. yeah, it's the story according to the people who like him best. and, you know, it is intended for those who might have some doubts or might be thinking, yeah, but he promised to do this and didn't. it's kind of like a pep rally only on the high scale end of it. and again, it helped put these things out there to define the president fbefore his opponents do. >> candy crowley, thank you. full swing, here we go. meantime, actoactor, activi george clooney arrested today. video of what went down, details as to why. that's next. i am loving this greek yogurt. i like yoplait. it is yoplait. but you said it was greek. mmhmm. so is it greek or is it yoplait?
