Gary Berntsen & Greg Mortenson

Both of the men you'll meet today have been active in Afghanistan and Pakistan, but for vastly different reasons. We'll talk with Greg Mortenson, who, in the last dozen years or so has built more than 50 schools in some of the poorest rural areas of those countries. His book is called Three Cups of Tea. But first, we're going to meet Gary Berntsen. He went to Afghanistan in 2001, on a mission that came oh-so-close to succeeding, but fell short. His assignment was to find and capture, or kill, Osama bin Laden. His book is called Jawbreaker.
