fran, dr. greene basically told us that within screening and brief interventions there are some referral issues that you tell the patient, "this is where you may get help." what components in a community need to be engaged in support of a program such as screening and brief interventions? almost all of the components that jane just mentioned that makes up the community. you have to have the families involved with that type of intervention and screening process. eighty percent of most of the screenings that are done with the sbirt program do not lead to a diagnosis. so what does that mean? that means only 20 percent need an actual traditional treatment. the other 80 percent need everything from a prevention program that is building awareness in education to a prevention program that is looking... targeting on their particular specific needs, whether they have a... they are living in an economic environment that is very tough for them or they are a certain ethnic group that doesn't feel like they

fran, final thoughts? collaboration. i think that most of what we are talking about here is collaboration. we cannot do it alone, we have to work with our... at the federal level we're working with all our federal partners, everything from a prescription drug abuse problem with the federal drug administration; we're working with the office of national drug control policy on some of our substance abuse issues, particularly targeting young people and older adults. we're also looking, working with the centers for disease control. we're just working and working with our partners. we're asking states to do exactly the same thing. we want to give out the messages that we are trying to bring behavioral health into the primary world of health. meaning, and in a much simpler way, bringing substance abuse and mental health issues to the world of physical health. dr. greene, final thoughts? i would like to just say that promoting the community think tanks such as dc rock and other such initiatives that are there to help and provide

fran, what's the latest you're hearing from sources on the threat? >> well, anderson, you know, it's interesting because as they begin to pull this thread, the more and more you hear is sort of words of caution. it is unconfirmed. the answer is they're looking for corroboration. they're clearly reaching out to allies around the world as well as looking inside existing databases to try and understand, is this really credible? somebody said to me, you know, it's a plausible threat but i'm not prepared yet to say, the s source said, it's actually credible. we need to act on it. we need more information, more corroboration. >> jessica, how seriously is the white house taking the threat? i talked to jay carney earlier. >> they're taking it quite seriously, anderson. the president was briefed by john brennan, his chief counterterrorism adviser, this morning and throughout the day. he isn't in the west wing but has access anytime should he need an update. the white house has asked the intelligence community and administration we're told to remain vigilant a

let me start with you first, fran.ning up to n9/11, there's a lot of talk about being on the alert, no specific threats. does anybody in this worry you insofar as the immediate issue of homeland security? >> you know, candy, it's hard to assess because after all, this is such a volume of documents, i don't think anybody has been entirely through it. so it's hard to he know. you worry about things like junior dip low mats being denied access to information, their inability to put information in cables that can be shared. you worry about the informants, human rights activists, the sort of people who talk to embats cities around the world and expect protection, being able to be targeted for retribution. but it's too soon to really understand because of the shear volume of what's been put out there. >> and p.j., that really is -- there are diplomatic r ramificatio ramificationses, but let's talk about the part that this really does expose some people to real laugh dang life danger. >> sure. and in this latest group of cabl

we heard from fran townsend earlier in the program.e believes that authorities believe one suspect is already in the united states. officials have announced a name. this is basically a man hunt going on right now? >> exactly, anderson. but the reporting is that it's a very common name and very difficult for the authorities to actually find the person, specifically identify him and track him down. >> were -- the -- the sourcing on this day is that it's only a partial identity. what does that mean? >> well, obviously, the first name or the last name and a very common name in the united states. so, it again makes it difficult. my understanding is that the sourcing of the information coming from pakistan also has been commonly intercept in the past and that's why they think it's credible information, but, again, they're putting the fact that the information coming in because it's this weekend, has heightened the alert even more. >> susan, is there any sense or any authorities possibly figuring out a name or a partial name, or maybe would t

let's talk more with fran townsend. she was a homeland security adviser to former president george w. bush. fran, just going back, i wanted to double check on what has been said over the past say year or two. and this talk about who is involved and how exactly al awlaki was killed. the national security council, according to reports that came out more than a year ago, did say to the cia, you can target this american. go after him. you know, the threats are clear and we are giving you approval. so, what is your take? how involved do you think the cia was in this operation? >> i don't think the yemen officials had the capability to do this on their own. i thought since early this morning that it had to have had some support from american officials and i think what you just heard from barbara that it was an acknowledgment. a joint intelligence sharing operation. no way that yemen intelligence had the capability to actually develop the information necessary to target in a physical way for a kill operation as we see happen.

we want to ask peter bergen, fran towsend and john miller. what is different now than the hours before al awlaki was killed? peter? >> clearly, this guy was able to recruit people in britain and the united states. i'm not convinced -- some people have said he's osama bin ladin number two. i think that's overdoing it. in terms of reaction, in was no reaction when osama bin ladin was killed. we're four months after bin ladin's death. the idea that we should get hysterically worried about awlaki's death -- the fbi and dhs have put out a statement. >> it's a little cya, right? >> part of due diligence. does it mean something is imminent? of course not. >> fran, when you look at it, it just seems to me that this man's basic tool, al awlaki's basic tool is the internet. he's still alive on the internet. what do we really have here? >> that's right, candy. and he has these tapes, these millions of tapes especially in the u.k. -- >> that sell well. >> and they'll sell better now. i think he had become more than just that, more than a charismatic figu

. >> fran townsend, hope you'll still around. many more questions. live to istanbul to check in with mohammed jamjoom who has information about exactly where al awlaki was killed. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, christine. we're told by the yemeni embassy in washington, d.c. that the operation that killed anwar al awlaki was killed out in a province of yemen about 140 kilometers from the capital, from sanaa. interesting, because anwar alky was believed to be in another province that's known to be a stronghold for militants, and al qaeda and an says-of-a also, trying to target and kill al awlaki and -- [ inaudible ]. >> all right. we're having technical difficulties, because, obviously, it's difficult to have somebody from istanbul. let's head to washington. >>> we're talking about waking up to news to nor key al qaeda death, but we still don't know a lot about how anwar al awlaki died. what do we know now, dan lothian? >> reporter: as reported, in fact, anwar al awlaki is in fact dead. what we're still waiting to find out is the u.s., and wh

cnn national contributor fran townsend joins us from new york. fran, you hear chris's report here from the 9/11 commission, does it surprise you that basics like radio communications we still have failed in trying to make that work? >> suzanne i should start by saying i participated, this is a bipartisan policy council, on the board of directors, participated with kay and hamilton in creating the report card. we should be outraged by the lack of first responder communications, because this is one where the solution exists. we know it exists. we know the band width is available. the question is only how you go about distributing it. do you distribute it directly to first responders or distribute it to a telecommunications company and require them to make it available. this is crazy. there's no excuse for us not to have solved this problem ten years earlier because as governor caine points out in an emergency people will die. we just had the earthquake in washington and i can tell you my cell phone didn't work. i can't imagine what the first respon

as fran says.ld have been impossible to imagine the statement the president obama, who said in his administration said on several recent occasions, that strong and resilient individuals, families and communities are the best defense against terrorists ideologies. so, we are learning from work we are doing that in diaspora communities in the u.s., such as somalia american community in minnesota, there's been meetings where people have been exposed to stories of atrocities and people have tried to encourage youth to go and enlist and fight, and some have left home. but we've also learned stories where parents are uncles or brothers have said to kids who come from such meetings hey, that's a load of crap, go home, focus on your schoolwork. and kids have listened to that. so these are important stories because they are stories of protective capacities that live in families and in communities. and we need to learn from those, but we also need to pay attention to the vulnerabilities and risks which are v
