my name is jordan coleman. i'm a good student, good athlete. >> reporter: jordan is no stranger to show biz. he was the voice of tyrone the moose for the nickelodeon cartoon "the backyardigans." jordan learned a lot about what goes on behind the scenes. then his mom had an idea. >> i challenged jordan to use some of the money from "the backyardigans" to do something positive for his community. >> so i thought of making a film that shows about education for african-american boys. >> reporter: stay in school. teens hear it all the time, but that doesn't mean they're listening. >> a national survey released today found that most black young men in the united states don't graduate from high school. they have the worst grades, the lowest test scores, and the highest dropout rates of all students in the country. >> i saw people who are african-american boys struggling in school and how they needed help or they're just thinking about being the next football or basketball player. >> reporter: this is so common that edu

jordan. at this time we'd like to call up nick casser, our environmental futures contest and we have the certificates here. >> you want to call them? >> you get them and i'll do a quick introduction. so when i first saw the job posting for my position, i was scared but also excited to notice that every possible task had been included on that job description and included not just the operational side of the house, energy, for example but the environment of education which of course in an institution such as ours is equally if not more important. and as a side note, i'm happy to announce tonight that we have hired an environmental content specialist in the suric -- curricular department through the generosity of numerous foundations and they'll be taking half of my job and doing it even better than i've been able to do in the last three years, that is environmental education. but during my tenure as the head of the environmental education at the district, i decided to float a contest that had b

why is it important, jordan? i want you to make that broadly known. why is it important for schools to have individuals like yourself go and speak to the student body and speak to parents? i think it's important to have, you know, someone speak on mental health, like myself to go into schools basically to generate and to start a conversation. because what i think happens is there is a conversation started and that generates a lot of attention and from that attention that is when the education begins. and that is what i like to do, is just to plant a seed when i go to speak at those schools so that the kids there, the parents there, the teachers there have something to think about. and the goal is that, when i get home at the end of the day after speaking to that school, they're just not talking about those mental heaealth issues and topics the next day, the next week, the next month, but for months and years after that. and that is why i think it's important, like active minds, the organization that i speak for, there's over 300 new branches over the

jordan? a lot of times what parents ask is, "how can i start that conversation with my child?" because it might feel awkward, it might feel wrong to have that conversation. and two tricks that i always give to parents is: one, everyone asks how you are doing. in our society we all say, "how are you doing?" to make that positive connection, to start a conversation, i tell parents ask your kids how they are feeling, and that can change the entire dialect of a conversation by just one word, "how are you feeling?" and the other thing is relate. i know my parents and i used to do this thing called highs and lows. at dinner we would talk about our highs for the day, what we loved, and then our lows, what was our down point for the day. and for me, that secured me, to know that i'm not just going through a bad day. my mom, my dad, they can have a bad day too. so always relate and try to start a conversation is a good tip for parents. when we come back we are going to be talking more about what parents can do, what programs are available, and how everyone can really get engaged and get

under an assumed name and did this a number of years in which he criticized his own government in jordan and u.s. policy and israel and is very much pro al qaeda and would sometimes take al qaeda's words and interpret them to bring them down to language that ordinary people could understand she had a big following so that was his role in the beginning. someone agitating, educating people to sort of be attracted to this course. he was arrested and i've probably getting myself ahead in the story but because he becomes an important personality, the jordanian government says this guy has to be stocked so they addressed him bringing him into custody for several days and then try to flip him and became an informant. >> the concern as he was encouraging, directly encouraging. >> guest: becoming a mouthpiece for al qaeda and even talking about becoming active himself in trying a way to become involved in the war against the united states, and but after he was arrested he made a very convincing conversion and became openly sympathetic to the jordanian intelligence agency and their goal and offere

they were others as well back in jordan.e jordanian intelligence agency, one of the senior officers had met with the cia before, before these two men went to afghanistan for the meeting, saying be careful about this guy. everything he is saying makes us wonder that maybe he is not what he seems. maybe is leading into an ambush. so there were red flags, but interestingly every time that somebody raise a caution there was some counter arguments. it wasn't that the caa was being dismissive of the warnings so much as there were plausible explanation. in the case jordanians there was a lot of infighting, they are sort of notorious for. there's this concerned that maybe people don't want this guy to go because they want the glory for themselves where they feel like they are worried that he's climbed the letter to quickly. there's all kind of infighting going on. the caa took these words into consideration that they're able to counter. spent a line in a book that i found very powerful. when he described how this was a failure of im

this is jordan wilson, and he will speak for the students. tell us how it changed. >> how it changed? well, first of all, good afternoon. we have the star performer, which is very important to me because they came in, mentored me, help me -- helped me and taught me everything i needed to know. that is how it improved all my scores. i would like to thank them first. they also just give you all the support you need to succeed, and they just want to help you. that is all they want to do. then, we also have the beacon, which is an after-school program, but they also provide tutoring, which really helps. they provide help on your homework, on your class work, and they help you and mentor you. they want the best for you just like the staff and teachers. they always prepare you for everything you need to know, everything you need to do for the test. they want the best for you. they want to help you a lot. they just want to see you succeed. they've not ever want to see you fail. they always want you to keep on going and for you to succeed during the

jordan, we will give you -- jordan, we will give you a chance to respond.y can understand either one of you if you both are talking. let him finish his answer and then jordan, you can respond. >> what jordan fails to recognize is that muslims were killed in the building on 9/11. al-qaeda has killed more muslims than nonmuslims. my wife and brother are first responders. hundreds of first responders were muslims and american muslims were attacked by al-qaeda on those days. you are creating civil discourse and hatred amongst americans. the organizations that you represent are creating hate rhetoric amongst americans and they are requesting fund raising. [ overlapping speakers ] >> i'm going to respond to this one and i doll it quickly. >> shannon: very quickly. a few seconds let. >> care -- you talking to me makes you.

compromise solutions that would accommodate everyone would eventually facilitate a reintegration of jordan territory that's acceptable for all the parties in the cage a negotiation naturally couples but this is what i told word for word and his response was spot of course we are ready to go at a rate and i also have this impression that we could at least try to find some creative solutions if not a new chapter in time but first of all there was an opportunity to meet on a regular basis but i can tell you earnestly i spent the next month checking regularly for any feedback from our georgetown counterparts and there was no way out of the same time georgia was getting more and more visits from envoys from across the ocean but as they were dubbed. the moment of truth for me as i realized later while analyzing those events in hindsight over and over again came with a visit by u.s. secretary of state condoleezza rice still flying following that visit my georgian colleague simply to. all communication with us he simply stopped talking to us he stopped writing letters and making phone calls it was

in jordan her greatest concern was that georgian soldiers would shoot her first because of the fact that she was living in a set here. there was no food or water in the basement the underground inhabitants spent several days totally unaware of what was happening above ground and in constant fear for their lives. the georgians they will stay on the street you know they were shooting from this machine. they thought there was an abandoned house here they were sure there was no one there but there were incidents when they threw grenades into the basement but. i will never forget the noise the whole time. got closer and then we heard an explosion really it never crossed our minds that it was from a missile launcher a girl. took a pencil and a single sheet of paper with her into the basement down there she drew sketches of everything around her. actually measuring the cleaning there in black central initially children they only store it out like such only can't. show it was done. allegedly shown in from that place so we'll select some candles. condor is attending a master class in drawing at a

the biggest concern that israel has is not in egypt or jordan, or even syria. is iran for obvious reasons. when you think of some of the statements by the iranian leadership and what the u.n. strictures to stop the enrichment which has not been stopped, obviously israel has a very focused interest in that issue. they are keeping an eye on all of it. what think there will be rough times going forward, but i am somewhat of an optimist. >> the emergence of turkey as a regional power. how has that affected centcom a.o.r.? >> turkey, i have seen a positive impact because, in many ways, turkey is seen as a way for a nation to mature toward a more democratic approach. i have talked to many leaders there who have traveled to turkey to talk about about how they treated the kind of state the have created. they have been very helpful in trying to restraint assaad, but they have made very clear that what he is doing will not receive any kind of solace or support out of angora. it is a positive influence and they are the one nato nation that fights against an active insurge

jordan, a lot of the discomfort about governor perry and the death penalty centers around the case of cameron todd willingham, a man expected i guess in 1991, if i remember correctly, of setting his home on fire and thereby killing his two children. why don't you tell me, what was troubling about this case, from your point of view? >> well, there were really three things that were troubling about governor perry's involvement in the case. first, at the time of willingham's execution, pretty clear the governor's office had clear information the arson evidence was junk science used to convict him. an opportunity governor perry had at that time to prevent a wrongful execution. subsequent to that his office hasn't released any information about what was told to perry prior to that execution. so there is some concern that maybe governor perry had been told, you're about to allow for the execution of an incident man, and went ahead anyway. so there's a transparency problem about what information was known to governor perry at the time of the execution. >> i'm sorry. go ahead. >> i was going

michael jordan was one of them. buck williams and a group of them. every day they would cut somebody so it was like playing football. you turn in your book and you are gone. by the third day there were only three of us left and those three were myself and the president of the dallas mavericks and the other was bill strickland who is a lawyer, and agent in washington d.c.. i got selected from the three. part was the one they chose to be head of the union. >> very similar to billy. we have similar backgrounds. u.s. attorney's office, private practice. in october of 2008 i got a call in the office from a search committee. they left a message and said are you interested in a new job career and to be honest i told my secretary i am not because back in 2008 we were heading into a historic election and we all thought we could elect our first black president. i have been involved in the campaign and on my horizon was potentially going back into government. the idea of switching firms or a new opportunity did not appeal to me. we claytor someone called back a

he said his father was the deputy prime minister of jordan. i was like, "ok." minute court partner -- my moot court partner, he said his father owned three swiss banks. i think even before entrepreneurship, it is financial literacy. we need to educate ourselves about what these resources are. it is financial literacy and really wealth literacy, understanding that there are different kinds of wealth beyond just monetary wealth, but you need to understand monetary wealth, spiritual well, the social capital we have and understand how to cultivate those things and invest them properly. those are important skills. at the same time, i do not think black capitalism is the solution to the problems of black folks who have been the victims of capitalism's boot. >> making sure that that kind of information becomes available. that could be the subject of what we deal with in black history month. you know? hal the wealth is developed. who developed it. loans what? how one gets to own it. we could do that. it could be touchy, but it could be useful. i'm just saying that we c

regularly for any feedback from our daughter counterpart which there was no not at the same time jordan was getting more and more visits from envoys from across the ocean but as they would be dubbed. the moment of truth for me as i realized later while analyzing those events in hindsight over and over again came with a visit by u.s. secretary of state congolese of rice still to this time following that visit my georgian colleague simply dropped. all communication with us he simply stopped talking to us he stopped writing letters and making phone calls it was apparent that he had some new plans now and most plans remploy amended later. mr president am i correct to assume that the way you see it's a visit by the u.s. secretary of state was meant to urge president saakashvili. do you think the united states was deliberately encouraging georgia to pursue a conflict with almost no i don't think so the united states is a very large country headed by pragmatic people but in politics connotations a nuance is a very important as it is i don't believe the americans had heard georgia's president t

egypt lebanon jordan where there is democracy that is not recognize hamas hizbullah so it's a mixed game. democracy is on the march it's not recognized at least by the united states and its allies and then the united states has been a huge impediment to democracy in the arab world since its inception since independence so what is its track record. its track record is very negative as many serious american historians admit to themselves through of the cold war period when the big enemy was communism the united states not just in the middle east but also in south america who is prepared to tolerate tyrants to date. butchers of their people because it's there in cross with the end of the cold war. humanitarianism became one of the ideological pillars except in those countries where it wasn't convenient so we've seen in the middle east in particular. the dictatorship in egypt which appears to be collapsing as we speak which has been there for the last twenty five to thirty years we have seen regimes over twenty years long in the matter of be in countries to morocco algeria we've seen the tol

built the evidence on the mounting bin laden threat: failed plots to kill hundreds of americans in jordanessam's explosives headed to lax; an aborted al qaeda plot to blow up another american warship, the uss "the sullivans"; and now the "cole." the yemenis finally agreed to let the fbi join in the interrogation of one of their most prominent suspects: fahad al quso. o'neill and his agents believed al quso knew about bin laden's desire to videotape the destruction of the "cole," and possibly a whole lot more. o'neill worked his newly developed yemeni police officials and old allies in the cia, but the weeks were taking their toll. o'neill needed a break. he'd get back to al quso after he returned from new york at the first of the year. >> i have to tell you, when john came home-- he got home, i think, it was two days before thanksgiving because he kept telling me he was going to try to be home for thanksgiving-- he... john had dropped 20-25 pounds. >> narrator: in new york, he plotted his return to yemen. he'd taken a yemeni police delegation on a tour of elaine's and other hotspots. he w

jordan has condemned the violence in syria. bashar al-assad is galvanizing the international community, including the region against himself remarkably. >> brown: and yet the immediate reaction was disdain or just pushing back. we have just a wire that just ran, the syrian u.n. envoy said-- accused the u.s. of waging a "diplomatic and humanitarian war against syria." >> it's the usual regime bravado, but i'm sure now bashar al-assad is coming to recognize he is in deep trouble because essentially tomorrow, we will role see european union follow suit with the u.s. and ban a lot of economic activity with the syrian regime, including buying its exported oil. and syria's going to have to find customers elsewhere, sell it at a discount, much more difficult to do. and for a regime like this, you have to pay those security people, those intelligence people, the senior officers, et cetera, if you want to keep them on board. they're going to become increasingly difficult to do that. >> brown: we heard secretary clinton referring to the
