united states stand apart internationally. in 1996, for example, handguns were used to murder 30 people in great britain. 106 in canada, 15 in japan, and 9390 in the united states. the cdc, centers for disease control, reports the rate of firearms death, the number of americans shot to death per 100,000, as having between 8.8 and 9.2 for white americans during 2000-2005, between 7.5 and 7.8 for hispanic or latino americans, and between 18-point for and 1923 for african-americans. such statistics suggest that there is something unique and frightening happening in the united states. of course the homicide rate is only one measure of violence. i talk about all kinds of things in the book, and in part that's the point, sort of a look at undercurrents of violence in american life, look at what i called the ethos of violence in american culture and american society. and accordingly, i spend time in the book, in the first chapter, looking at violence as a male phenomena. violence is predominant done something by men to other men, two women, to children as well. and so i wanted to look at the violence of american masculinity, how masculine is

finding out if it's true that al qaeda had planted some secret sleeper sells in the united states, in europe and in canada ready to spring at a moment's notice. there hasn't been any hard confirmation of that, but they are really looking closely at that to see if al qaeda is ready to react to the killing of bin laden. >> really important information that's gleaned from that. mik, let me also ask you about some of the details we're now learning about that raid on bin laden's compound. specifically, the chopper. the helo that was used by the navy s.e.a.l.s. we saw this picture. it looks like the tail of it stuck on the back of one of the compounds. i was speaking with someone who said that doesn't look like a blackhawk to me. now we learn it's a very different helo that's been used in past operations, correct? >> it is. it's a modified blackhawk, an attempt to reduce its radar signature, harder to detect on radar and also reduce the noise that their rotors make. special operations forces have had these kinds of stealth helicopters for more than 30 years, frankly. way back during the tanker wars in the '80s

up in the 1950s, canadians were a little pious about this and often looked at the united states with a misplaced measure of superiority, as canada didn't have this particular problem. and this is the one i remember so clearly growing up. and when i came here and was assigned to cover the civil rights movement, i realized what--a, how complicated it was, how much pain there was involved for all concerned in the country. somebody asked me the other day what i thought was the saddest thing of the century, and i--and i was caught slightly off guard and i gave some gratuitous answer about how man is still killing man with such vigor at the end of the century. the saddest thing of the century, of course, is that america has not managed to solve its racial problems. c-span: the next photo is of a preacher--a priest. as a matter of fact, was he canadian? coughlin? >> guest: father coughlin, no. c-span: i don't know why i remember that because he was from detroit. >> guest: yeah. c-span: but what i do remember from doing a book on him--charles warren from the university of oakland in michigan--is that he would have an audience, out of 12

those sleeper cells that we've heard so much about may already be implanted in europe, canada, and the united states. and now, we don't know if they found information but in remarkable testimony up on capitol hill, the chief of homeland security, janet napolita napolitano, told lawmakers that her department, homeland security, has already received information. less than three days after it was gathered up has already received information from the cia and fbi analysts. don't know what it is, whether it is about a possible imminent attack somewhere, but it was valuable enough to forward almost immediately after the -- it was -- it was reviewed by those analysts. >> mik, where does the debate stand right now in terms of whether or not to release a picture of bin laden? >> well, if you listen to -- if you look at a scorecard you think that it appears that the majority of people within the administration, including apparently secretary of defense robert gates and we know secretary of state hillary clinton who are against the release, there are others as we know leon panetta told brian williams last night

big winter has a lot to do with it, all that snowfall in canada and the northern united states also. it's hard to believe they did the same thing that we did here, and that was just yesterday. so our neighbors to the north are suffering just as much as the united states. 3,000 homes have been covered in water in that area. many people have been forced to evacuate. to put it in perspective for you, here you can see the u.s. border, north dakota, here's lake winnipeg. we'll show you that lake they're talking about, the cinnabon -- i hope i pronounced that correctly. the river will form these little oxbows where they'll cut themselves off and then they'll flow into this other area in the hopes of reducing further flooding and reducing that water down the line. you mentioned the snowpack they had. look at the satellite image from nasa. this is what it looked like all winter long, so all the blue you're seeing in that area, that's all snow cover, so now take a look at what it is now after all of this is melted. you can see this pooling of water all over the place, so still very, very satu
