according to a recent study on terrorism by homeland security and duke university, north carolina, 11 muslim americans have successfully 6 -- executed terrorist attacks in the u.s. since 9/11. the center also reports that tips from the muslim-american community provided the information needed to defeat terrorist plots in 49 cases. colby, do these hearings make sense to you? >> had they been constructed differently. "the economist" said that with peter king running the hearings -- it would be like having a subject handled by a steamroller. the subject is homegrown terrorism, how it comes about, how we handle it, it could have been a conduct all -- conductive hearing. he just talked about the muslim community and the community's response to it, putting the onus on the muslim community. we said after the attacks and london, it cannot happen here because of the muslim community. we were wrong. why is it that way? why is that the case? >> charles? >> homeland security says the major threat of islamic radical terrorism is internal. we have had some success since 9/11 in keeping the x turtle

. >> reporter: a duke university study released earlier this year found only a relatively small number of u.s. muslims who had planned or carried out terrorist attacks. the study concluded "homegrown terrorism is serus, t lited, problem." >> one is one too many, and so we have zero tolerance for that kind of seductive narrative and that seductive type of presentation that lures young people into things that will ultimately ruin their lives. >> reporter: one of the first priorities for mainstream u.s. muslim groups has been trying to fight extremist messages online, including many from foreign-based, english-speaking americans. >> i am calling on every honest and vigilant muslim, unsheathe your sharpened sword and rush to take your rightful place among defiant champions of islam. >> what happens in extremist groups is that there's a cult mentality. there's blind following of a charismatic leader, these pied pipers that are speaking to us now on youtube from caves and jungles and war zones that are trying to glamorize violence. that's basically what we're dealing with. >> reporter: hopin

christopher simmons' the associate professor at duke university explains our design of the book ashima reactor could potentially contain the damage if the worst case scenario occurs. this reactor is cool entirely by water. i'm ill founded simply when the nuclear materials cannot be cooled and the temperature rises in the containment area and the reactor materials themselves to the point at which they destroy the reactor that surrounds them of course these temperatures have to reach about five hundred degrees celsius for the metal and for the uranium itself probably in the order of eight hundred to one thousand degrees celsius. the good news is that that in the daiichi reactor the coolant is entirely water so a material venting into the atmosphere will likely just stay think a radioactive steam in the case of shear noble the reactor was moderated by graphite and graphite holds the radiation and spritz much further as dust and gas so. that was the significant problem with sharon noble the the neutron moderator in the airplane that reactor was different and the radiation could spread much

claims that they're not helping enough i think there was a report from the triangle center at duke university which showed that over a third of arrests post nine eleven. terrorist arrests have come from tips from the muslim american community they are engaged they are there doing what they need to do but it's important you know not to target this community because that will only lead to greater alienation and frankly greater radicalization and really quickly you brought up their report that said actually being a member of a mosque being a member of any kind of church leads to more so that you can give more details in that report you know these were two scholars this was one scholar out of the university of chicago i believe another from harvard who did the biggest study of its kind of the american muslim community and it showed that greater engagement in mosques and greater religiosity attract with greater belief in american democracy greater engagement of the american political process and this is a real it's a rebuttal and i think a decisive rebuttal to the claims of people like osama bin l

contrast with parker see where you have star athletes who are like kobe bryant or you know the duke university lacrosse team who don't get any trouble for say rape or some sort of worse egregious crimes but the poor guy you know gets laid at a time when fewer people our age are apparently getting leave you know this is not my name come on it's an honor code and if you're going to have an honor code then you have to enforce it and rules are meant to be broken you know you know the whole point about you know you really you agree that you're going to hold this on a code and if you're not able to uphold that honor code then you shouldn't go to be why you and you should agree to sign a code and you should be a person of your word like he was and i. to say i really commend him whether or not he was forced to admit that this happened through circumstance or if he didn't on its own he broke an honor code that he agreed to and i think that it's actually really commendable i think that it probably gave him a little bragging rights because he got to say you know yeah i did get laid ok we're going to move

i was lucky to be able to be in trials with people of the like an even jim coleman down from duke university when he represented ted bundy with some of the death penalty appeals. when you're in the presence of these great lawyers, it is spectacular feeling. some of you may have heard, i don't know if you are watching boardwalk empire. did anybody see the last episode where the guy who picks the 1919 world series is preparing the legal defense? one of the characters in the program says arnold, you should be a lawyer and he replies without missing a beat, would rather continue to make my living on this.

in fact, they cited a duke university survey to find 40% of terror plots were thwarted because of inside information because muslims cooperated with authorities. so expect to see a lot of controversy today as lawmakers, quite frankly, debate whether or not they should be having this hearing. laura? >>> very interesting. thank you, tracie. >>> we have new video this morning of the san bruno explosion. and it was taken just a few feet from what could be called the epicenter of the blast. this is amateur video that was uncovered during the ntsb investigation. you can hear the hissing sound and just see the massive flames, that wall of flames as the gas spews into the fire there. the video comes six months after the deadly explosion. many survivors say what happened will always be a bitter memory. >> the friend i lost that died in this fire that should have never died, and my home and other people losing their home, that's the hardest thing. >> some people say they are not going to return to the neighborhood, but others do plan to rebuild in the exact same spot where they first were. >>> new

>> reporter: duke university and the university of north carolina put out a report and the number they came up with 139 muslim mernls. another group did a study and came up with 76 people being involved in such activities in the last two years. that's about half of that number of 139 that is calculated from september 11th. in the past two years it appears this is a greeing trend, at least base -- growing trend, at least based on these studies. >>> in the past hour a federal grand jury indicted 14 pirates accused in the attack on an american sail boat that left four people dead. the boat's owners from marina delray along with bob rigle and phil list mckay of seattle were shot to death after pirates captured them. this was the first time that u.s. citizens had been killed in a wave of pirate attacks off the coast of somali in recent years. >>> in wisconsin a bill that would strip almost all collective bargaining rights from public employees go to the state assembly after republicans found a way to pass that bill. >> you're looking at angry protesters screaming and shouting after that vot

in a study conduct by duke university and the university of north carolina, since 9/11 in 120 terror plots the public knows of 48 have been thwarted by the muslim community. you say the community is not doing enough but the numbers show they are not doing badly. why do you say they are not doing enough? >> actually, i don't spep those numbers. the percentage is made much higher because they left out a number of cases involving terrorism sfning they do not including in those and involve family members coming forward which i agree have been family members coming forward and many times the leadership does it and they include cases in there, for instance such as a case in new york subway bombing plot when actually in that case imam tipped off and defended police coming after him. the imam almost disrupted that case. they give credit for the muslim vendor in times square who saw a car on fire and reported it to the police. why see a car on fire would indicate a muslim attack or a terrorist attack is beyond me. i think that report was skewed and, in fact, in that report they also say the t

researchers of a new, long-term study out of duke university, say being upbeat is so powerful, it mayn the future. tell us about the study. >> the researchers followed 2,000 patients with heart disease. they were all waiting cardiac catheterization. they followed them over time. and in a year, they looked at how much activity they could do. and they found that those who had a positive outlook, those that thought they were going to do more, could. they followed them for 15 years. and found those with the positive outlook, 17% fewer had died. which is pretty incredible. >> this is so encouraging, rich, in many ways. >> to think your mind and your thoughts could play a role in how you do. we know that pessimism and depression are bad for your health. they lead to bad outcomes. but the idea that positive outcomes can have benefits is real lly slightly surprising an encouraging. >> tell us how that works. >> there's a couple of theories. one is, if you have a positive outlook, you are able to make the changes in your life that have a healthier outcome. stopping smoking, changing your diet.

in fact, the greatest single source, according to a duke university study of tips turning in potential radical muslims is the muslim community itself. >> that's actually a very misleading report. they include cases of the azazi case in new york. they give an imam credit for turning him in. the imam tipped him off and the case was almost broken. they gave credit to the vendor in times square who saw a car on fire and reported it. that was the times square p reporter. how did he know that involved a terrorist attack? how did he know that was skewed? and you look at the numbers. that is the muslim-american community he's talking about. the overwhelming percentage. in the last two years, there's been no terror indictments of neo-nazis or skinheads or environmental extremists. the fact is, when dennis mcdonough spoke on sunday, what he said, the muslim american community is being targeted by al qaeda. that's the reality. >> do you have law enforcement officials testifying at your hearing who will say the muslim community has not been cooperating in trying to turn in the radicals when they f

[laughter] here i am. we do have some because the electronic records archives. it is live and being used by about 40 agencies now. we are concluding development on that at the end of this year. we will migrate the rest of the agencies to the electronic record archive. there is a presidential instance of the electronic records archives, so that is where we will be capturing presidential records. my concern has to do with what is the way on in the agencies. a self assessment that was done by a records management unit indicates that 95% of the agency's self identified as being moderate to high risk around their electronic records. we have a huge challenge ahead of us in working with those agencies to
