7:03 pm
hunters tracks, photographs and tags the great whites. we're out off the cape looking for the sharks with john chism. we spot abundant marine life here, including humpback whales. it looks like a harpoon, but it's a listening station. these buoys carry acoustic refer ises that track the migration of great whites. >> we know they're here looking for seals. that's why we place these in strategic locations where we have documented seal predations. >> reporter: the population of gray and harbor seals on cape cod has made a huge comeback in recent years. every expert points to that as the magnet for great whites. here's a pod of seals. this is an area where they've tagged a lot of sharks. we're told the sharks will lurk on the bottom, and come up and grab the seals. scenes like this wonder how
7:04 pm

7:08 pm
impossible for more than 40 years. they voted. it was an election for parliament. 200 seats of the new national assembly. the turnout was higher than expected and people lined up to vote in places that were war zones just a year ago. gadhafi ruled libya with no elections. almost 50 people have died in syria today just as the united nations acknowledges that its mission to syria has failed. that comes in a u.n. report obtained by cnn. it recommends one of three new actions, withdrawing the 300 person u.n. team from syria, increasing the team's size and giving members armed protection, or retooling the current team's overall mission. reports from lebanon seychelles fired during clashes in syria landed in a lebanese down, killing at least one person. another source says two people were killed and anywhere from two to four others were injured.
7:09 pm
lebanon says it's beefing up its military presence in the area. the united states has a new major ally. in a surprise visit to kabul, secretary of state hillary clinton announced afghanistan is now a major non-nato ally. that means afghanistan is eligible to receive military training and assistance. it also means afghanistan can buy and lease military equipment long after nato troops leave. >> please know that the united states will be your friend and your partner. we are not even imagining abandoning afghanistan. quite the opposite. we are building a partnership with afghanistan that will endure far into the future. thank you so much. >> secretary of state clinton and afghan president hamid karzai now head to tokyo where they're expected to pick up $4 billion in reconstruction aid. scientology, made famous by its famous followers.

we're taking a closer look inside the religion. but first, american public school students are ranked average at best when compared to other nations in reading, math and science. steve perry believes the power of words is key for a student to excel in any classroom. it's today's "perry's principles." >> reading is not just fundamental, it's essential. it's what makes a child grow in a classroom. we're talking about being able to interpret and predict. reading is essential to so much. when a child doesn't feel comfortable in school, it's probably because they don't read very well. teachers are trained and certified to determine a child's capacity to read. they have all of the resources
7:11 pm
at their disposal to make sure that that child's reading level goes up. one of my biggest us frfrustrat is that teachers don't work hard enough to effectively teach children to read. i'm talking about reading for understanding. i'm talking about being able to read and make deductions and have a conversation with the author. you know that's the expectation of reading. so the expectation is that you will teach children to read. you know what's exciting? graduation. when i look up into my students faces, i see pride. you know, i have done something worthwhile. when i earned my doctorate through university of phoenix, that pride, that was on my face. i am jocelyn taylor. i'm committed to making a difference in people's lives, and i am a phoenix.

>> reporter: when it comes to scientology, tom cruise may well be the faith's most combative faith defender. >> do you know what ritalin is? it's a street drug now. do you understand that? >> the difference is -- >> no, matt, i'm asking you a question. matt, i am asking question. >> there's abuse. >> you don't know the history of psychiatry, i do. >> reporter: although he joined scientology in the '80s, over the past decade, his identification with the group has been much more pronounced. he's explained his beliefs in the press and the star giving a military salute to a scientology leader -- >> i think it's a privilege to call yourself a scientologist. it's something that you have to earn, because a scientologist
7:16 pm
does -- he or she has the ability to create new and better realities and improve conditions. >> reporter: many of his statements underscore a central lesson of the faith, that its followers can accomplish great things. >> when you drive past an accident, it's not like anyone else. when you drive past, you know you have to do something about it, because you know you're the only one that can really help. >> reporter: such talk echoes teachings laid out in the '50s by the founder, l. ron hubbard. he created an outline for conduct and advancement. for example, through counseling sessions referred to as audits, followers are supposed to be led toward positive thinking and achieving their goals no matter how ambitious. listen again as cruise talks to fellow devotes about world leaders. >> they want help and they are
7:17 pm
dependent on people who know. that can be effective and do it, and that's us. >> reporter: that was 2004. by 2005, cruise was expressing even more enthusiasm over actress katie holmes. most notably by jumping around on oprah's sofa. so what happened? holmes, who was raised catholic, is believed to have converted to scientology as her relationship with cruise grew. but in the wake of their split, there are concerns of her daughter being raised in the faith. holmes' attorney caused the divorce a private matter and said the primary concern is her daughter's best interest. cruise's attorneys said his client hoped the divorce would not be contentious.
7:18 pm
>> i looked and i thought, what a beautiful thing, because maybe one day it will be like that, you know what i'm saying? maybe one day it will be like that. wow, sps, they'll just read about those in the history books. >> reporter: whether in of this plays into the split with holmes is unknown. but when cruise and nicole kidman divorced, similar speculation appeared. kidman never seemed to fully embrace scientology and after the breakup, she was described as enjoying a homecoming in the catholic church. as for cruise -- >> i would do it the way i do everything. there's nothing part of the way for me. >> reporter: there is no sign he
7:19 pm
has any intention of backing away from his controversial faith. tom foreman, cnn, washington. to get more insight into the church of scientology, i sat down with co-editor dan gillgoth and asked him is scientology a cult? >> well, it depends who you ask. scientology is a relatively new religion. it was born really with the first church of scientology in 1954. and almost from its inception there's been all of these battles whether it's a true religion or a cult. and you have challenges not only from religious groups who say it's not a true religion. you have challenges also from the world of science, which disputes a lot of what scientology says about mental health. you have challenges really from the irs, who didn't acknowledge scientology as a religion with tax exempt status until the
7:20 pm
'90s. so it's always been this embattled religion and it depends on who you ask. >> it's interesting that you say that, because you can understand why some don't see it as a religion. when you think about traditional religion, there is not one central deity at the top, there is no christ, there is no god, there is no buddha or any figure like that. they talk about ufos and they use it as science. so many people, you can see why people think it's not a religion and more of a science or even sort of a psychology or self-improvement place. >> yeah, it really talks about scientology as being something that you do as opposed to something that you believe. and the whole thrust of the movement is really aimed at replacing psychiatry and rejecting psychiatric drugs. the organizing principle is that we have human beings have this reactive mind that experiences all of this trauma.
7:21 pm
not only in our current life, but also what scientologists believe is our past lives. and so there's this whole process, what they call auditing of sitting down and working through these traumas that leads to a state this scientologists call "clear." this is the sort of central principle of what scientology is. it's what the members sort of espouse as the helpful aspects of the religion and what the scientific community takes issue with. >> is it true, is it tough to get out or can you get out once you become a scientologist? some people have these stories about they followed me, they had my personal information, they would harass me. is it that hard to not be a scientologist once you are one, to get out of that religion? >> there are former scientologists that say it's really difficult to get out. and i think that this leads to this image problem for the religion that they're partially trying to solve and always have
7:22 pm
by recruiting these high profile hollywood celebrities like tom cruz. so the thinking is this a new religion. they obviously have had pr problems in the past and getting these high profile figures associated with it is one way of adding legit imacy to the tradition. >> you can see why one who is drawn to celebrity may be drawn to scientology because it teaches you that there's nothing that you can't accomplish if you put your mind to it. >> right. i think that's true. and i also think that you can't understand the founding and growth of the church without getting its connection to los angeles. so that the very first church to open up in 1954 was in los angeles. scientology is really the only religion out there that actively recruits among celebrities. so there are all of these centers that are devoted to celebrity recruiting.
7:23 pm
so you can understand the appeal to celebrities of this kind of new approach to mental health and it's also a product of the church very conscientiously aiming recruiting efforts toward that community. >> dan gillgoth, thank you very much. to learn more about scientology and read other fascinating stories, log on to cnn's belief blog. ahead, a former wall street banker, a millionaire adventure headed to prison for burning down his own home. but then a deadly decision right inside a courtroom.

7:29 pm
years in prison, he covered his face and appears to swallow something. we'll come back to this scene. michael graduated from yale law school, had a career working around the world for wall street investment banks, making several million dollars. he collected picasso artwork, drove a rolls-royce and flew his own plane. >> he was an engaging character. >> reporter: paul ruben spent hours talking to the millionaire. >> he's the smartest guy in the room. he's the smoothest talker in the room. he gets all the girls. he's that guy. he just ran into the brick wall that happens to these characters eventually. >> reporter: the brick wall was this 10,000 square foot home, an exclusive phoenix, arizona enclave. he bought the house in 2008 when the real estate market was collapsing. it came with an interest only mortgage payment of $17,250 a
7:30 pm
month. but he had long left wall street and had not worked in several years. and he was quickly running out of money. that's when prosecutors say he concocted a scheme to raffle off the house and in the process, make $1 million for himself. the raffle was an oddly creative way to unload the biltmore house. tickets sold for $25. the proceeds would benefit the child crisis center. to generate publicity, investigators say he scaled mt. everest, doing interviews from the mountain with a local television station. it all played into the mystique. >> we can climb up to 25,000 feet. >> reporter: but he says it was all a sinister ploy. >> what happened was he paid $2,550,000 for the house and set
