health care system now is changing and so will the health of our country. jordan, given your experiences and the fact that you speak to parents, that you speak to populations within school systems, what do you think the communities really need to begin to do better in order to address some of these issues? i think that one thing, and i mentioned earlier, was that kids need to feel and young adults need to feel as though they are not the only ones going through what they are. not just by their parents but other people around them of the same age. you know, there was a statistic in the early 2000s, in 2001, 2002, that even though 20 to 25 percent of young adults will suffer from a mental disorder in a given year, up to two thirds of those kids won't seek help. and a lot of that is because of that stigma and the fact that kids don't know if other kids are going through these topics or issues because there's no discussion. and that is what i try and promote when i go to speak at these schools. not just to talk to each other inside the school but inside the entire community of all

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 offered services i could help you if you can find a way f

criminal justice foundation a victims' rights advocacy group and jordan a professor of the university of texas school of law. welcome to you both. gentlemen. 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

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 apparent that he

few places to me egypt lebanon jordan where there is democracy that is not recognize hamas hizbollah so it's a mixed game. democracy isn't a 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 that commit themselves through of the cold war period when the begin to me was communism the united states not just in the middle east but also in south america was prepared to tolerate tyrants to as 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. multichannel 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 in the mass rugby in countries tunis and morocco

month checking regularly for any feedback from our jordan counterpart but there was nothing but at the same time georgia was getting more and more visits from envoys from across the ocean to feel as they would be done at the soviet speed the moment of truth for me as i realized later while analyzing those events in hundred site over and over again came with a visit by u.s. secretary of state condoleezza rice. following that is it my georgian colleague simply dropped all communication with us you simply stop talking to us but we start writing letters and making phone calls it was apparent that he had some new plans and those plans were implemented later on with the legal system. mr president am i correct to assume that the way you see it that visit by the u.s. secretary of state was meant to urge president saakashvili into war. but i must know i don't think so the united states is a very large country headed by pragmatic people but in politics connotations and nuance is a very important there was a time once back when i was head of the presidential administration when i paid a visit to

of california, is the central region. i have served in the region off and on since colonel jordan took me out there in 1979. the region stretches from kazakhstan in central asia and down to the southern temp of the arabian peninsula, yemen, egypt, lebanon, over to pakistan in the indian ocean. it includes the persian gulf, iraq, kuwait, afghanistan, saudi arabia, jordan, syria, the gulf states, and of course iran. in 30 years of service in this region, i've never seen it so tumultuous, full of promise, and also full of danger. and as the military commander, i am the sentineled. i am supposed to watch out for the dangers while recognizing and seizing opportunities for keeping peace wherever possible for one more year, one more month, one more week, one more day. sometimes you are just looking to keep peace for one more hour. there is not peace everywhere. we are heavily committed in parts of the theater, but there are other parts matriculate on. i would like to speak first about the arab awakening. i would call it that instead of the arab spring and how we crack policy and adapt to

i'm a big fan of michael jordan. i mean -- [laughter] you all know michael jordan, you know? but, actually, i'm a very big fan of baseball. but i don't watch basketball, so even though i have known who michael jordan is, i didn't realize that his number is 23. others thought that it went to the more esoteric -- [inaudible] apparently in numerology there's this theory which is called the 23 enigma which claims, exactly how i don't know, that all significant events in the human society are somehow connected to number 23. so there was that famous book, the series of nobles which i, of course, haven't read called the ill lieu natty trilogy, and there was, apparently, this movie with jim carry called "the number 23." now, i don't know how this theory works, and i've never heard of it before people pointed this out to me. and some people had very charitable view of me and thought that i was so loony that i was implicitly referencing to the so-called 23 mathematical problems proposed by the great german mathematician david hillberg in the 20th centre. i've never heard of the guy, so --
