greg mortenson's success begins with failure. an attempt to climb k-2, the second highest mountain on earth, became a lost cause. when he became disoriented and stumbled into a primitive village in the far reaches of pakistan, the villagers took him in, and in return, mortenson promised to build them a school. that was 17 years ago. today, 145 schools later, mortenson has helped educate 64,000 children in the most remote areas of pakistan and afghanistan. 90% of them are girls. your focus for these 17 years has been on girls' education primarily. why is that? >> i'm educating girls, it decreases mortality, reduces the population explosion, improves the quality of health and life and the best investment one can make in any society is investing in girls' education. >> glor: morton son's bestselling book "three cups of tea,"" describes the art of negotiating with villagers in pakistan to build schools on their own terms, lessons mortenson eventually took with him to afghanistan. >> you can start schools where there's a lot of taliba

following you is greg mortenson who you know.ell me what it is about him -- because you gave him a huge award personally in pakistan -- what is it about him that makes him a person that the u.s. military and others want to hear from. >> let me just say that i haven't yet had the opportunity of meeting him in person, although i recommended mr. mortenson for the pakistani star of service, which is a huge honor in pakistan conferred by president zardari on mr. mortenson. i read his two books and i am familiar with his work. what he brings to the u.s.-pakistan relationship is the human dimension. pakistan is a nation of 180 million people. half that population is below the age of 18, and greg mortenson stays engaged with these people, teach the children, when you go in to build a school you have no enemies. it's when you are talking only politics and military strategy that you actually have people who disagree with you. so embrace the people, and that is what will win hearts and minds. that's what makes greg mortenson important to us

mortenson, that mr.ortenson came to their village to stay as a guest, as a friend, and the episode of the kidnapping is a lie. he said that he's going to sue the author for the damage that's done to his image and that that's done of his family and tribe. >> greg mortenson says that you kidnapped him. did you? >> no, he's lying. he's lying. we didn't kidnap him. he was our guest and we treated him as a guest. not someone -- we have not kidnapped him. he used to move around with us, to different places, in waziristan. he was a chief guest. >> what do you think he said this about you? >> just to sell his book. because people in 2005 or 2006 wanted to know about the taliban and waziristan, so he thought that it's good to make this story. >> if you saw greg mortenson now, what would you say to him? >> i would just say that why you have defamed me, my family, and my tribe? we treated you well. we housed you in our homes, so why have you made all these lies about us. i intend to sue him, because he defamed me,

for greg mortenson, it all began on a remote mountaintop in pakistan. his connections now had the potential to produce peace and healing around the world. "my generation"'s kate sullivan has the story. - this is k2 in pakistan. it's the second largest mountain in the world. in 1993, greg mortenson tried to climb it, but as he neared the top, he became disoriented and separated from his companions. - i was very weak, exhausted, but mostly disappointed, and i stumbled into a little village called korphe, where the people helped nurse me back to health. - mortenson saw the korphe schoolchildren trying to study, but they had no teacher, no supplies, and no school. - there was a young girl named chocho, who came up to me one day and said, "can you help us build a school?" and so i made a promise that day that i'd build a school for those kids. - greg went back to the states, where his mother, an elementary school teacher in river falls, wisconsin, asked him to talk to her students about his project. - it was the first time i had spoken to anybody, adults or

mortenson, and cai. and i think have probably given money to him and purchased his books, all on the representation that this was all true. so, i think it's going to be a lot of people involved. >> reporter: in statements mortenson stands by his story. and emphasizes that the schools his charities built are benefiting. as for the two plaintiffs in montana, they're not asking for a refund. but for the money to go into a trust so it can go where it was originally intended. mortenson is no longer writing his own story. he's being investigated by montana's attorney general. and a small college in st. louis even rescinded its offer to have him speak at commencement and receive an honorary degree. seth doane, cbs news, new york. >> and we're joined now by "newsweek" and daily beast reporter mike giglio who broke the news of the lawsuit just a few days ago. good morning. great to have you with us. so this lawsuit right now is two women. but do you think it grows and expands into a much larger class action? >> i

he welcomed -- they welcomed mortenson.st, taken in as a guest in the village. mortenson claims he was kidnapped but tried to befriend the kidnappers who were taliban. tell me what you know about this? >> first, ali, as i've worked with mansour, he's a distinguished [ inaudible ] in the pakistan tribal regions, you know, mortenson has claimed he was kidnapped by a group including mansour kan. he says that's ridiculous and in the last couple hours saying he's planning to sue mortenson about making a defamatory statement about him. that he's a taliban kidnapper. when mortenson says he was kidnapped by the taliban in '96, the taliban wasn't present. the taliban banned photography. we have a picture of the supposed kidnappers. "60 minutes" showed a picture of mortenson carrying a gun with his supposed kidnappers. pretty unusual for a group of kidnappers to be photographed with their faces clearly seen and for their supposed victim to pose with them with a gun. this is really -- goes to the heart of some of the claims that morte

it on the other hand a more effective way to squash this extremism is through education as greg mortenson discovered he's the founder of pennies for peace an organization that is funded one hundred thirty schools educated more than fifty thousand kids in afghanistan and pakistan mostly girls mortenson discovered that in the communities where he built schools for girls girls who have traditionally been illiterate in both afghanistan and pakistan the people then kicked out the taliban or in some cases taliban members quit the taliban some even became teachers in the schools after having left behind the taliban. as incredible as it may sound at first simply by educating women and girls in cultures where traditionally had no access to education you greatly reduce extremism religious extremism after all educated mothers tend to be more effective at dissuading it can be talking their children out of becoming suicide bombers and educated women have social status and both social and economic power mortenson offers this new way for us to fight the war on terror and we need to listen to him because

greg mortenson, "three cups of tea" and turning "stones into schools." stay tuned. captioning sponsored by public affairs television >> moyers: welcome to the journal. there were hands in the air in washington this week, but it wasn't a stickup. the new financial crisis inquiry commission, appointed by congress to find out how america got rolled, began hearings this week. these four are not the victims of one of the greatest bank heists in history; they're the perpetrators, bankers so sleek and crafty, they got off with the loot in broad daylight, and then sweet-talked the government into taxing us to pay it back. watching that scene on the opening day of the hearings, it was hard enough to believe that almost a year has passed since barack obama raised his hand, too, taking the oath of office to become our 44th president. even harder to remember what america looked like before obama, because we've also been robbed of memory, assaulted by what the nobel laureate czeslaw milosz described as a "fantastic proliferation of mass media." we live in a time "characterized b
