jim clancy is in seoul, south korea, this morning. could north korea be toning down its threats? >> well, it would seem that way, at least for one day. let's be cautious here because a day does not any policy make. we know so little of what goes on inside north korea. it's hard to judge here. we know the regime is very unpredictable and we have to keep that in mind. a couple thoughts here. the first one is that perhaps kim jung-un is listening to those voices outside his country. voices like china asking him to dial it back to tone it down. second, there were some north korean experts that were getting to the point that they said kim jung-un was painting himself into a corner with all of these threats, especially with his domestic audience. in other words, the north koreans themselves have been whipped into such a frenzy, how would you turn it off? what would happen to him? would he lose his position? his respect in north korea? what kind of a crisis could that provoke, if he felt he had to take action in order to keep his standing among his own people. so, a lot of reason for pe

i'm jim clancy. >> he was 58 years old when he died. the funeral is set for friday. the suggestion in jim clancy's report that america somehow caused his cancer was neither the first nor the last touch of suspicion to come from the government. just today officials accused two attaches of the embassy in caracas of encouraging the military to destabilize the country. larry, you actually met chavez, you spoke with him about president obama and president bush. you asked him about that. i want to play for our viewers some of what he had to say. >> don't you think insults, mr. president, don't harbor peace? >> translator: well, if you talk about insults and name calling, well, if we withdraw the insults on those name calling, then we can have peace? well, we need to do that, but all of us. now how bush called me. the bush government toppled me. they asked for my assassination. they disrespected us. >> i'm wondering, larry, how he struck you. did he believe that? did he seem rational to you? >> christiane and anderson, good to talk to you both. there are a lot of things int

we were around each other quite a bit. >> and you have been watching her in the courtroom clancy.ou compare her behavior with you in the restroom with the behavior that robotic behavior we have been seeing in the courtroom? >> well, she always had no real emotion. if you talked to any one they really don't know anything about jodi unless it is, you know, something they learned from someone else. she didn't talk about herself or any one in her past, her life. anything like that. so she has never had really -- she always had that blank no affect type of a personality but as far as not being -- as far as being someone with low self-esteem that is not true. she is very aggressive when she wants to be and, yeah, i was really uncomfortable in the restroom looking back now it scares me but at the time i was just uncomfortable and really didn't understand what her problem was because travis was like a brother to me. he wasn't -- there was nothing between travis and i. i have married for 20 years so. >> judge jeanine: and quickly, clancy, i understand travis showed up at an event with anot

jim clancy has been looking at the u.s.pecial inspector's report. >> reporter: america's $60 billion splurge to rebuild iraq, and what went wrong comes under the microscope. >> about 8 billion of the $60 billion appropriated by congress for reconstruction in iraq was wasted. >> reporter: it could be more, we may never know. the 186 page report is certain of one thing, the bush administration threw taxpayer money at iraq missed a critical component, a plan. >> this failure of planning and having a plan to execute these contracts and to provide accountability for the people who were in charge of this, totally lacking. >> reporter: the result, among many other things, u.s. taxpayers shelled out $80 for a pvc elbow pipe you can buy at home depot for $1.40. the first american administrators hired a comptroller, robert stein, gave him more than $58 million in cash, which he promptly started stealing. >> the interesting thing about mr. stein, he was a convicted felon at the time he was hired. >> reporter: felony fraud charges at t

." >> jim clancy is live in seoul, south korea. is south korea on any special alert because of the threats from north korea? >> reporter: they have to be alert, on edge so to speak because they are used to this. i don't think the general population considers this threat. they've heard it all before, they believe they're being pressured once again by the north to get money, to get food, to get assistance that would help prop up the regime, but at the same time they do have to take it very seriously. this is a formidable military force. the countries had growing trade amounting to $2 billion next year, the north is threatening to cut that off. there is an industrial park right north of the demilitarized zone where some 120 south korean firms employ about 50,000 north koreans. the north koreans are upset because they think the south is ridiculing them. with all the threats they still keep it open but the regime they rake in millions of dollars in hard currency and don't want to give it up, that's what this is all about. the north is s

cnn international anchor jim clancy is in seoul, south carolina, this morning. jim, what could this silence mean? >> well, you know, it's really hard to analyze what's going on inside north korea because so few of us really know, you know, the inside. the country is closed off from the outside world. but one of the obvious things people are raising right now is perhaps the message has gotten through, not from france and new zealand that were just the latest countries to join the long list of people telling kim jung-un to tone it down. more likely the messages from russia and china that are are two of their strongest backers asking him to turn down the temperature on the korean peninsula because it just reached a fever pitch, as you noted. at the same time, that message was directed towards the united states. i don't think you'll see the u.s. sending any more b-2 bombers flying on practice bomb runs over south korea. that, too, contributed to some of the tension. i think there's an interest here for everybody in the region to try to get things tempered down just

cnn international anchor, jim clancy, is in seoul.g a week of threats at this point, north korea has seemed to have had gone silent. why is that? >> reporter: it is far too difficult to really predict what it means, to analyze it. it's a dangerous game, first of all, because north korea is so unpredictable. it's also so remote. we can't see inside the government to understand the decision making process. obviously, there's a lot of speculation. people are wondering, did kim jong-un get the message that was delivered by china, by russia, and so many others, to dial back the rhetoric and all the talk of near war on the peninsula, missile strikes on the continental united states. did he hear that message? is that why we're seeing all of this? even some north korean experts say kim jong-un was painting himself into a corner with all of that. he was whipping up so much national fervor and getting people geared up to go to war that it could backfire on him. he could lose credibility or even worse, he can find himself in a position where he

cnn international anchor jim clancy joins me now from seoul, south korea. jim, what at this point are people saying there? do they really think this is any different from the north's threats in the past? >> reporter: well, there is a sense that the threats have been taken to new heights, that the father, the grandfather of kim jong-un has exceeded now the direct threats against the united states, the threats of nuclear war on the peninsula, the threats of attacking hawaii, of attacking guam, of attacking the mainland united states with nuclear weapons. let's make clear. he doesn't have the capability to do that. but he is taking it to a different level. and there's a lot of people that are looking on and they're trying to calm the situation down. we heard today from south korea's defense ministry spokes man. listen -- >> translator: north korea's continuing threats against south korea such as saying it is entering a state of war, are never acceptable since it is harming peace and stability on the korean peninsula. the recent military exercises such as key r

cnn's jim clancy is in seoul, a city watching and waiting for north korea's next move. jim?> reporter: it's far too early to really predict what this silence on sunday amounted to. first of all, because the north korean regime is so unpredictable, but also because we can't see inside it to understand the diecision-making processes. it's that just removed from the rest of the world. now, of course, there's speculation that perhaps kim jong-un, the north korean leader, heard the messages being sent by beijing, by russia, and so many others to dial it all back, to try to tone down the rhetoric that was calling for war, a nuclear conflict on the peninsula, even rockets going to the mainland united states. at the same time, some north korean experts were warning that kim jong-un was taking it too far. he was whipping up so much fervor for war inside north korea that when he had to back down, he could lose face, or worse yet, he would have to make good on some of his threats. what is sure at this point is that in the coming days and hours, everyone from washington, to beijing, fro
