. >> and i'm ann curry. boy, matt, those passengers aboard this flight, jetblue flight 191 from new york to las vegas are saying it was like a scene out of a movie. >> the pilot, a 12-year jetblue veteran is identified as clapton osbond. he began acting unusually in the cockpit then stormed through the plane yelling things like al qaeda and bombs. his co-pilot locked him out of the cockpit before passengers tackled him, tied him up with their belts and other devices. as we said we'll talk to passengers who were on that flight about the incident and to jetblue's ceo and president, as well. >> and also ahead, as you well know, there's some alarming statistics out about the unemployment rate for veterans who have served since 9/11. that rate is some 40% higher than for their civilian counterparts. well that is why this morning, we started with the u.s. chamber of commerce for our hiring our heroes efforts. we're holding events across the country, overseas and online, to highlight the valuable skills that our ve

back with me joy ann reed, krystal ball, and jim van dehie.harsh in the portrayal of palin? >> no, you're spot on. i think the reality is what was devastating. she was put in to a position she clearly wasn't ready for because of a really pathetic vetting process by the mccain people, and at the time john harris and i wrote that the pick, if you knew the backstory of how she got picked, was disqualifying for mccain. in some ways you leave the movie feeling bad for palin because she was ill quipped and nobody bothered to figure it out and they tossed her in there because she had all this celebrity appeal. they wanted the select appeal because they thought they couldn't win the election. so it's devastating for palin because the reality itself was devastating. >> we've all seen it. joy ann, did you think she came across as a more sympathetic figure? did you find yourself feeling sorry for sarah palin? >> i thought the parts that portrayed her as a mother were compelling and positive for her. that was about it. other than that she came across as s

ann? >> ron allen, thank you. george zimmerman's attorney is now joining us along with zimmerman's longtime friend joe oliver. good morning to both of you gentlemen. >> good morning. >> good morning. >> craig, george zimmerman first pursued and then shot an unarmed boy. how does he justify that as self-defense? >> well, first of all, i think we need to let the investigation come forward and let all the facts in this case come out. i think it's going to tell a different story than the way it's been related and portrayed in the media. >> what we do know is that george is a 250 pound man, and that this boy, this 17-year-old boy, is of slender build. the question is how would he have seen this boy as a threat to his life? >> i think that that's -- that's all the evidence that needs to come out. i think some of the things he's mentioned are not quite accurate. and i think when the evidence comes out it will show that george zimmerman was acting in self-defense in this case, and when the rest of the evidence comes out,
