>> this is her mom, and she just listened to the meeting with the census folks, and she's moving into her new place here. she's telling us after listening to that, she feels confident to answer those questions and it's something she wants to do. >> cnn. cnn prime time begins right now. hey, everybody, our top story tonight, the pentagon moves in don't ask, don't tell, and that is topping our match-up tonight. on capitol hill today, defense secretary robert gates announced he is working on a plan to end the policy that bars openly gay people from serving in the military. take a listen. >> the question is not whether the military prepares to make this change, but how we best prepare for it. >> the joint chiefs chairman, admiral mike mullen, says lifting the ban is a matter of integrity and, quote, the right

thing to do. >> we have in place a policy which forces young men and women to lie about who they are in order to defend their fellow citizens. >> admiral mullen's statement ran into stiff opposition from republican senators. >> the armed forces must maintain policies that exclude people whose presence in the armed forces would create an unnecessary risk to the high standards, morale and discipline of a unit co heegs. >> in this moment, immense hardship for our forces, we should not be seeking toef turn the don't ask, don't tell policy. >> until the law is changed, gates said he would try to make enforcement of don't ask, don't tell more lenient. >> secretary gates says it will take at least a year to repeal don't ask, don't tell. the final decision is up to congress. also on capitol hill, a

chilling admission from the country's top military officials. they say al-qaeda is certain to try to attack the united states in the next three to six months, emphasis here on the word "certain." from the director of national intelligence to the head of the cia, they were all in agreement. listen. >> what is the likelihood of another terrorist attempted attack on the u.s. homeland in the next three to six months, high or low? director blair? >> an attempted attack, the priority is certain, i would say. >> mr. pinetta? >> i would agree with that. >> mr. muller? >> agree. >> general best of your knowledge -- burgess? >> yes, ma'am, agree. zds it's chilling to hear that testimony. the so-called christmas bomber is talking again. we have some breaking news on that front on what brought him to the table, and we'll tell you what investigators are learning from him a little bit later in

the show. we've got the latest on the toyota recall. tonight federal investigators want to know if electromagnetic interference could be causing the sticky gas pedal problem. they're also looking into civil penalties for the car maker. meanwhile, one manufacturer of those pedals says not so fast. they are not to blame. listen. >> the pedals are the subject of the recall and have to do with a slow return phenomenon, which is a very rare condition, which occurs only under certain environmental conditions, such as high humidity, and cts is not aware, and toyota has said this also, that there has been any accidents or injuries from that condition of those pedals. >> a toyota official told us that's true but said it's also true that some cts pedals didn't just have slow return but also got stuck. >> toyota officials still say they're confident they have fixed the problem.

in new hampshire today, mea culpa from president obama. he admits it was wrong not to put the entire health care debate on cspan as he had promised during the campaign. the admission came during a town meeting that was supposed to be all about jobs. instead obama was peppered with questions about health care. >> we should keep working to get it done. democrats and republicans together, let's get it done this year. we're essentially on the five-yard line for those who like football analogies. we've had to go into overtime, but now we're in the red zone. we're in the red zone. we've got to punch it through. i'm going to go through the pain of really working through this hard process in congress, getting yelled at and called a socialist because i just -- i'm

a glutton for punishment. here's my thing. you got a better idea? bring it on. what i will not do is to stop working on this issue because it is the right thing to do for america and you need to let your members of congress know they shouldn't give up, they should keep on pushing to make it happen. >> and the word from congress is house democrats have started working on a compromise bill. no sense, though, when they might vote. entertainment news of the day is, of course, the oscars "avatar" and "hurt locker" leading the pack. matt damon and meryl streep all getting nods, but the biggest star is sandra bullock. apparently she's already preparing. at least, that's what she told "the today show." >> you have a little more than a month to get to the oscars, so what happens during this time leading up to the actual

celebration. >> i don't know. i'm on a diet regimen. i acquired a very light english accent. i would say i started wearing glasses, but i'm already wearing glasses, so i'm already there. that brings us to the punchline tonight, courtesy of david letterman. scott brown was a cosmo centerfollowcente centerfold back in 1972. dave couldn't resist having a little fun. >> how about the guy, the new hampshire senator, he is a former go-go boy and has posed nude several times. he's now the senator, and over the weekend he was on abc with barbara walters. did you see the interview? >> i didn't. >> we have a clip of the

interview. here's scott brown with barbara walters over the weekend. i think you'll like this. there they are. >> david letterman, everybody. and that is the mash-up. president obama today declared a plan to loan money to small businesses, and boy, did that set off one republican senator. you're going to want to see his reaction when we come back. anncr vo: ...call emergency services... anncr vo: ...collect accident information. anncr vo: or just watch some fun videos. anncvo: it's so easy, a caveman can do it. caveman: unbelievable... caveman: where's my coat? it was suede with the fringe. vo: download the glovebox app free at geico.com.

the purpose of t.a.r.p. was to address problems in our financial markets. and has been remarkably successful and bringing credit spreads back to normal levels chltd one of the lingering problems in our financial markets, however, is access to credit for small businesses. it's why in this budget -- >> no, no, you can't make that type of statement with any legitimacy. >> okay. >> you can't make that statement. this is the law. let me tell you what the law says. let me read it to you again because you don't appear to understand the law. the law is very clear. the moneys recouped from the t.a.r.p. shall be paid into the general fund of the treasury for the reduction of the public debt. it's not for a piggy bank

because you're concerned about lending to small businesses and you want to get a political event when you get out and make a speech in nashua, new hampshire. that's not what this money is for. this money is to reduce the debt of our children that we're passing on to our children. and you ought to at least have the integrity to be forth right about it and say that's what you're doing, you're adding to the debt that our kids are going to have to pay back, when you're claiming at the same time that you're being fiscally responsible. let me ask you another question, because clearly we're not going to agree on this and you're not going to follow the law. secondly -- >> excuse me. we will be following the law. this will involve legislature -- >> you're not going to do it unless congress gives you authority to do it. >> exactly. >> gloria borgman joining me about this. the law is very clear about this. the president cannot just announce he's going to do this, right? >> look, the president can

announce whatever he wants, he's got a proposal, but he does have to change the law to do it and that's something congress is going to have to do, as peter or zach sa zag said. just take a look at this. today the president was in senator gregg's home state. that's what was really getting him upset, too, talking about this proposal which senator gregg clearly does not like, clearly will not support, clearly believes will add to the deficit, and he was upset that there the president was in new hampshire and here he was in washington, and he was going to grill peter orszag about it because he was mad. >> but it's not just republicans, either. democrats, like kent conrad who for a long time has been very aggressive about deficit reduction, also questioning the idea. there has to be more going on here. did the president jump the gun a little bit? >> you know, you'll be shocked to learn that the white house is trying to have it both ways, right? it's very politically popular

right now to take from wall street, people are angry about the wall street bonuses, and so the president is saying we're going to take this money from wall street, which is repaid back to the american taxpayer, and we are going to use it to give to small businesses which have been hurting. so it's very popular unless you happen to be a deficit hawk like senator conrad who is and who is a democrat, and senator judd gregg, and they're saying, wait a minute, we want this money to go back into the federal till. we've got a 1 poir$1.3 trillion deficit to deal with. but the white house didn't want to spend that and add to their bottom line. it wasn't the right time to do that. >> it does sort of feed into this whole idea of lack of trust between parties, and when you have the president coming out like he did last friday night, meeting with house republicans and saying, you know, let's put all that behind us.

let's work together going forward, but from what we witnessed today, did he forget to walk the walk a little bit? >> well, i think everyone is for getting to walk the walk a little bit. maybe they need to learn to walk again, campbell. i think this is a very difficult situation for them, and i think, look, take a look at the budget commission here. they were supposed to have a bipartisan commission on the budget, right? the president says, i'm going to support this, let's do it, and there is a vote on it, and seven republicans who were with him decided to back out on him. why? because lots of conservatives are saying it's a trap, you're going to end up raising taxes. so it's a bit of the same old, same old, and they just can't find a way to get out of that rut that they're in, campbell. >> all right, gloria borjer for us tonight, gloria, thanks. >> sure. >> if there's one thing we know frustrates many americans, it's when politics gets in the way of policy and this story does seem to speak to that. last week i mentioned the

president did meet with house republicans. he admitted he has made mistakes in the past. well, who hasn't? shouldn't congress also be held accountable on this front? tonight democrat congressman weiner is here to talk about this. the president talks about repairing, in his words, this deficit of trust. but isn't this sort of exactly the kind of move that makes many americans say he's not being entirely straight with us? >> i don't know. let's remember something. the republicans in the house and senate, i think, made a political calculation that many of them speak about openly that they don't want to let the president have any victories at all. i think someone called health care the president's waterloo. that's what the republicans called it. so to some degree they have a consistent policy that hasn't lent itself to much bipartisanship. they didn't give us a single vote on any legislation. they had tax cuts left and

right, i would have thought at least one republican would have broken ranks. you have to separate this because i think the republicans have made a tactical decision not to cooperate, and maybe the american people will reward them for that. >> is it only republicans? as we said, the president met with republicans, he said, you know, he has made mistakes, too. you've said, shortly after scott brown won in massachusetts, you said, i think, that night that your party had made mistakes. so walk us through what they are. tell me what democrats have done wrong that they need to take responsibility for. >> i appreciate the chance to have some therapy here with you. what it comes down to, there are a couple of things. one, i think we object assess too much on the health care bill, for example, how we're going to get 60 votes in the senate sorks this looked like the sausage making in washington became the lead story rather than the overall things to try to improve health care. that was a mistake. some of it was the math of the senate, and some of it was recognizing one senator is not as important as hundreds of

americans. the other thing i think we need to recognize is that we need to have our internal fights here in washington, but it can't substitute for having a clear and somewhat simple viewpoint that we express to the issues that we have. the small print doesn't sell very well as a message, so you can try to do health care, you can try to do stimulus, but unless we explain it better, we're not going to get the credit for those things. >> last friday one republican after another, when we were lirc listening, told the president, you say we're being obstructionist but democrats aren't giving us a seat at the table. is there any truth to what they're saying on that front? >> that part they can't be more wrong on. one of the things we did on this health care plan to our detriment, this went to five committees, hundreds of hearings, thousands of hours, and all of them on the house side were adopted, a localirot republican amendments were

adopted. the republicans made it clear they weren't going to entertain anything on the floor. she hasn't one said if you give me a, b or c, i'll vote for the bill. that's the problem. we've been negotiating against ourselves most of the time. >> most americans -- we can get into the process, and 60 votes are required to do this, but most americans look at this and they say, democrats control washington. they control congress. they control the white house, so understandably, i think a lot of people wonder why more can't get done. how do you answer that, really? >> first of all, i make a very important distinction between what's going on in the house and the senate. we in the house have passed just about all the important bills the president said he wanted to pass this year. five times in the state of the union address, he urged the senate to follow the house's lead. the senate, unfortunately, we have somehow bought into this idea you do need 60 votes to do anything, which isn't a majority, it's a supermajority, and that's hard to get agreement

between 100 people. getting 60 is very difficult. but there's no doubt about it. even with 59, where he should be getting more done. i think the president deserves some responsibility for that, for not really driving these things that are popular, like the public option i've been fighting so much more. but you're right, we're ultimately going to be held responsible, and i hope we also get some share of the credit for good things that have gone on since last year. things are a lot better off than we were last year. >> if you finally give me one possible solution here. you've been in congress for a long time, you know how it works. realistically, is there a way to get both parties to work together? should it really be this hard? >> i think the american people say they want bipartisanship, but they also feel very seriously what they believe on individual issues. when people say i support the public option, they don't want bipartisanship, they want the public option. when they say they want a tax cut, they're not looking for compromise, they want a tax cut. so i believe they're fighting for their constituents.

the republicans feel they'll be rewarded for stopping president obama, the democrats feel they'll be rewarded for making congress. sometimes those things are fundamentally in conflict. >> thanks for talking to us tonight. when we come back, we're going to take a closer look at the orphans in haiti, why it's so hard to reunite families. we'll talk about that in a minute.

>> that are trying to identify who were actually the new orphans and who are just the orphans that have been out on the streets for so long, because they're very different people. these new orphans just lost their parents, they don't know what they're doing, they don't know how to survive out on the streets. and those are the people the groups are trying to identify, because they're in a lot of

danger, campbell. >> so why, joe, is it so hard to figure out sort of who's who in the camp? >> a lot of reasons. one of the reasons is that the ngos go out and they try to talk to people in these tent cities or what have you, and the people in the tent cities don't necessarily want to give up a lot of information. they're suspicious. and then when they hear this is connected with an orphanage, they're even more suspicious. on the other hand, you have some people who just want to give their babies away even though they're the parents. they think, well, my child can have a better life if the child goes to the orphanage, but the people in the groups say, no, no, we can't do that because your child has a parent. we're looking for the children without parents because they're the ones in greatest need. and then there's just trying to get information out of the kids. my positiroducer and i, jus tee redmond, sat down with the kids and talked to them today out on

the soccer field, and you get bits and pieces of stories. well, my dad died but my mother didn't. my cousin died, or the house was hurt really bad. and your heart goes out for these kids because they can't tell you everything that happened, they can't tell you that they're alone or how scared they are, and that's why everybody is focusing on them so much, campbell. >> we are going to keep attention on this story. joe, thank you very much. it is worth repeating that before the earthquake even hit, there were already 380,000 orphans in haiti. it is a staggering number. and, in fact, 15%, if i have this right, 15% of haitian children were orphaned or abandoned, and this is, again, before the quake. the reason for these statistics, there are many, obviously, but among them is haiti's high rate of hiv/aids and the fablgt that 1400 out of 1800 mothers die in

childbirth. as you can imagine, impossible to calculate at this point. aids groups won't even venture a guess right now. haiti children aren't the only ones feeling the impact of the quake. a little later we'll take you to a school right here in new york where eight out of every ten students are haitian. coming up next, the military to blame for turning a paradise island into a toxic cancer cluster? we are taking you back to giegos for part two of a special cnn investigation when we come back. and 800 iu of vitamin d, in just two tablets. share some tlc. tender loving caltrate, and all your little mile-pebbles ameriprise financial can help. we have over ten-thousand advisors ready to listen to your dreams and help you plan for them. because the first step towards reaching what you want

tonight cnn's special investigation into the island paradise where more than 7,000 americans are suing the government. they claim decades of military

weapons tests on their island made them sick with cancer and other serious illnesses. the government denies any link. abby boudreau of our special investigations unit went to giegos off puerto rico to find out why they call their island a poison paradise. >> reporter: after work every day, annette rosa brings their two horses to feed. it's their favorite part of day. right now they don't think about pain. >> it's very difficult for my mom to have two daughters with cancer. sometimes we both get sick at the same time, and she don't have anyone there to help her. and it really affects her. >> reporter: 16-year-old coral is the oldest of annette's two

daughters. both have cancer. coral was diagnosed with neural bl blastoma. >> she had to have part of her intestines removed. >> for decades, the military used much of the island as a bombing range. now about three-quarters of the island's residents, including coral and her sister, ina, are part of a lawsuit that claims the bombing range made them sick. >> how do you feel right now? >> sometimes i feel sad because, you know, everybody calls me plastic intestines. they say, oh, you have plastic belly. and i tell them, you know what, if you were in this condition, how would you feel? >> coral showed us what she lives with every day. >> you can see how i feel when everybody teases me.

>> reporter: ina is coral's 14-year-old sister. when she was seven, a large tumor was found in her mouth. >> what happened? can you show me what happened? >> okay, it started with swollen parts. it was very swollen, and it was like there was a big ball of gum in my mouth or a big locllipop, and i started having pain. the only thing that came out was blood. >> ina was diagnosed with a bone cancer. >> you can't walk down the street and not know two or three people on the street that have had cancer or died from cancer. >> robert has represented people in the town. he has taken hair samples, looking for heavy metals. >> these hair samples, i

believe, are the strong eest prf that the contaminants, the things that were in the bombs, are now in the people. >> some of the samples show readouts that are literally right off the charts. we drove to the south of this caribbean island to find one of the families and their daughter named tashmalee. >> we found her, and she was two years old when she had her hair tested, and we want to talk to her family and also find out how she's feeling. inside, tashmalee's parents said she had been very sick. they fear she will get sick again. >> she was feeling like she was in chemotherapy. she started having dark spots on the legs. >> reporter: and so you weren't

surprised at all that this child did suffer, you know, an illness? >> no, i wasn't surprised at all that this child had some problems, and the father talked about the neurological hands, the neurological damage that's very extensive throughout. i've seen it many times over. we hope that this child will not have cancer in the future, but we don't know. >> it is by far the sickest human population i've ever worked with. these people are very sick very early and dying earlier. so something is happening there. >> reporter: dr. carmen ortiz is a harvard-trained epidemiologist and a physician in san juan. >> it is astonishing. they die 30% higher of cancer, 45% of liver disease and 381% higher of hypertension. >> reporter: in 2003, the

centers for disease control and prevention found no link between the navy's contamination and the sicknesses suffered by the islanders. but now the cdc plans to restudy the issue after many scientists raised strong complaints. in response to the islanders' lawsuit, the u.s. government is invoking sovereign immunity, claiming the islanders do not have the right to sue the government and that there is no proof the navy's activities caused illnesses. >> there is a lot of people here in the hospital dying of cancer. i have my little cousin that died of cancer. i have my sister that has cancer, my boyfriend's mom died of cancer. it's hard. it's hard. what i'm going through is not easy. >> reporter: your daughters told me that sometimes they don't tell you exactly how they're feeling if they're not feeling well because they don't want to

worry you. >> yes, because i'm the type of mother that i cry so much. it's too much pain. i have to hold on because of them. i have to hold on because they need me. but then i don't know if tomorrow i'm going to have them home. i don't know when i wake up if i'm going to see them. >> we asked the department of justice and the navy for comment, but neither wanted to discuss the islanders' lawsuit with cnn. >> abby, it is hard to watch these young people what they're going through. are they getting good medical care, and how are they paying for it? >> well, they are getting some medical care, but they're hoping the government will one day pay for that medical care, and that's why they're part of this lault.

but right now they're asking for donations from their family and friends. otherwise, it's up to the mom to come up with the money, and she's having a really hard time trying to figure out how to make ends meet. and when we were there, one of those girls had a really bad toothache and she opened her mouth real wide and said, look at my mouth, it really, really hurts, and her mom wasn't able to bring her to the dentist because she couldn't afford it. >> so what happens with the lawsuit? >> the u.s. government is wanting this lawsuit to go away. they want it to be dismissed, but that's going to be up to the courts in puerto rico. so we'll have to wait and see what happens there, but if this case is not dismissed, it will likely be a very long and complicated road before it ends up in front of a trial, in front of a jury. >> abby boudreau, abby, excellent work. thank you so much. i appreciate it. when we come back, we have a lot to talk about regarding terrorism. the man accused of the christmas day attempt to bomb an airliner is talking. the story of how his family

helped when we come back. more wings ! no way he'll be in first thing tomorrow.

. breaking news tonight. the christmas day underwear bombing suspect is talking. cnn has learned umar farouk abdulmutallab giving authorities actual intelligence, leads being hunted down right now. ed henry has new information on what got him to open up. ed, what do we know? >> this is the fascinating part. the night had ended here and all of a sudden we got called back to talk to senior white house officials who wanted to lay out some stark new details. bottom line is we're now told a couple of fbi agents back on january 1st, just a few days after the terrorist attack, flew to nigeria and talked with relatives of the bombing subpoena. after working a couple nights, they flew back on january 17th, again secretly, with two relatives of abdulmutallab. these white house officials

assert that because of that, they were able to gain the suspect's trust and that at some point last week, he started talking to investigators again, and they say they're getting actionable intelligence, as you note, that could prevent future attacks on u.s. soil. why this matters is that you'll remember that on christmas evening, we've since learned that some of the investigators read the suspect his miranda rights. at some point he then stopped cooperating with investigators. there's been republican charges in recent days that that sort of bosched the case and was mishandled by this white house because he then clammed up and we were not able to get more intelligence. the white house pushing back furiously tonight saying, look, we have been quietly working on this and have been getting good intelligence. this is a really dramatic development, campbell. >> we should also mention there was a senate intelligence committee hearing tonight where officials were pressed hard on the handling of this christmas day plot and other looming terror threats. we're going to talk about that

with cnn contribute tore fran townsend. she is security adviviser to president bush, or was, and they read miranda rights to the suspect higher and they were criticized for that, and you were among one of those critical for that. >> i think some of those who were criticizing the decision to reed miranda are criticizing the timing of it. it was only after 15 minutes of questioning, so ed is quite right, the white house is feeling a little bit defensive about that, and tonight we hear he's talking again. it's interesting, campbell, because the way they got him to talk is very much what we've learned from our allies around the world, particularly in saudi arabia, using the families of those who have been talked into becoming bombers for al-qaeda and having them work with authorities to get information from the suspect. it sounds like that's exactly,

playing from that playbook, american officials did do that and have got him talking again, but we can't lose sight that there were several weeks with, after he was given miranda, he wasn't talking, and those time periods when he wasn't talking could have been critical, we just don't know. >> right. let me go back to the senate hearing today because there was a moment at this hearing, there were a lot of questions raised about this and about terror threats in general. there was a moment that was really striking. let's watch. >> what is the likelihood of another terrorist-attempted attack on the u.s. hoecmeland i the next three to six months, high or low? director blair? >> an attempted attack, the priority is certain, i would say. >> mr. pinetta? >> i would agree with that. >> mr. muller? >> agree. >> general burgess? >> yes, ma'am. agree. >> mr. dinger? >> yes. >> what do you think? just listening to it is a little

bit chilling. when you hear them say, yes, it's happening. >> it is chilling. i think we have to point out to people that when they said it was certain, they were saying it's certain there will be an attempt. and so, i mean, may i remind people it's in that context, but even so, having spent almost five years at the white house in one of those positions, i can't imagine the circumstance that would have led me to say publicly i was certain it was going to happen. this may be a good abjekt lesson of answer the question. he was asked whether the attempt was high or low. he would have been just fine saying "high" rather than frightening everybody. >> cards on the table. shouldn't we be planning for the worst-case scenario, especially given what we learned on christmas? >> that's right, but we learned from the senior official after the day's testimony was closed, there is no information of a coming attack, so they're

back-pedalling. it also puts them in a difficult position because we had a terror alert in this country. the british has recently raised theirs. the nation is at yellow. it puts the administration in a position, are they going to raise it? the new administration doesn't like that alert system. janet napolitano has commissioned us to look at that. i co-chaired that, but they haven't changed it so they're sort of stuck in the old system, and now they said publicly an attempt is certain. >> thapnks. appreciate it. i'm going to take you to a school here in new york where students are learning to cope with the disaster 2,000 miles away. to them the earthquake in haiti isn't just a story on the news, it's deeply personal. that story when we come back. transform drinks you want, into cold medicine you need.

with involuntary manslaughter for reportedly injecting jackson with the lethal propofil. he said he gave jackson nothing that would have killed him. the medical journal has retracted the findings first published back in 1998 regarding autism. officials found out the lead author of the study acted in ethically in conducting that research. a new study has found there is no link between autism and the vaccines. bonuses reportedly around $1 million? this week's payments go to workers who agreed to take less money than they were promised years ago. >> we'll be talking about that a little tomorrow, i think. "larry king live" starts in just a few minutes. larry, what do you have for us
