THIS IS A RUSH TRANSCRIPT. THIS COPY MAY NOT BE IN ITS FINAL FORM AND MAY BE UPDATED.

CAROL LIN, CNN ANCHOR: The famine in Niger. CNN's Jeff Koinange takes us into one town's struggle to cope. A place where many days, the entire town goes to bed hungry.
Is Discovery in good enough shape to make it home without major repairs? Well, the astronauts take a spacewalk and create a tool shed of sorts in space to look at the damage.

All right. So you've always wanted a celebrity's smile. How about Julia Roberts' or Brad Pitt's? Well, now you can have it. Where to get it straight ahead. It is July 30th and you're watching CNN LIVE SATURDAY.

Good afternoon from the CNN Center in Atlanta, I'm Carol Lin. Our top story in just a moment. But first, these are the stories making news right now.

A search of a pond in Aruba is over. Authorities say there was no body and no clues. Alabama teen Natalee Holloway is still missing. The pond is close to a private club where suspects were seen the night Holloway disappeared.

U.S. troops are getting an eviction notice. The government of Uzbekistan is telling the U.S. to leave a key military base known as K2. U.S. officials say given the tensions and deteriorating relations with the Uzbek government they are not surprised. They have been reassigning troops to bases in Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan.

And back in this country, it's a clean bill of health for the president. He underwent his annual physical in Bethesda, Maryland today. Doctors say the 59-year-old president remains in excellent health for a man of his age.

Now, this is our top story today. British authorities are scrambling to find any suspects who still could be at large in the London terror attacks. Yesterday, three suspected would-be bombers were captured. One was Hussein Osman. He was found in Rome. Now investigators are replacing his movements and hoping to crack the case. CNN's Jennifer Eccleston reports from Rome.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

JENNIFER ECCLESTON, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): Hussein Osman, the suspected fourth bomber in the July 21st failed attacks on London's transport system, today, in a central Rome prison facing possible extradition to the United Kingdom. He was arrested at this apartment block in southeastern Rome on Friday after arriving by train earlier that day. Despite a high profile manhunt for Osman, his image captured on closed circuit TV cameras and beamed across Britain, the 27-year-old managed to slip out of the country.

Italy's interior minister Giuseppe Pisanu said Osman, a British naturalized citizen, left London's Waterloo train station five days after the attacks. Italian anti-terrorism police tracked his movements from Britain to Italy via his cell phone calls after a tip- off from Scotland Yard. He's thought to have traveled to Rome via Paris, Milan, and other Italian cities where officials say he made contact with East Africans living in Italy.

GIUSEPPE PISANU, ITALIAN INTERIOR MINISTER (through translator): From the investigation, it has been possible to identify a dense network of individuals belonging to the Eritrean and Ethiopian communities in Italy believed to have helped cover his tracks. In particular Osman got in contact with subjects originating from the Horn of Africa.

ECCLESTON: Official details of his connection to Italy are still unfolding but Italian media quoting intelligence sources say Hussein Osman spent considerable time in Italy and that several family members live here. And Italian police confirm Osman, an Italian speaker, was ceased at his brother's apartment. Rome's antiterrorist prosecutors confirmed Osman's brother was arrested for carrying false Italian documents. He also said Osman goes by another name, Isaac Hamdi (ph).

Late Friday, Hussein Osman was questioned at Rome's main police station. Several computers were recovered from the scene of the arrest. Osman was moved to the Regina Coeli Saturday in central Rome Saturday and appointed a lawyer. Scotland Yard said he could face fast track extradition under a European arrest warrant. The suspect's lawyer had no comment on her client's guilt or innocence.

(on camera): Italian investigators are also examining the possibility of links to suspected East African terror cells in Italy and have conducted security operations in at least 15 Italian provinces, an effort to trace Osman's movements and any contacts he made while in this country.

LIN: Ah, take this in. A view of earth 224 miles away. That's how the day started for the two crew members of the space shuttle Discovery as they took the first of three planned spacewalks. But the astronauts didn't have time to take in the amazing view. They had a full day of experiments and repairs. Here's CNN's John Zarrella.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

JOHN ZARRELLA, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): If you didn't know they were in space, you might have thought astronauts Steve Robinson and Suichi Noguchi were working on weekend home repairs. For the first two hours of a nearly seven-hour spacewalk, the astronauts experimented with techniques and materials that could be used in the future to repair damage to a shuttle's thermal protection system.

STEVE ROBINSON, ASTRONAUT: I would recommend if we were to do this for real to use lots of spatulas.

ZARRELLA: It was recommended in the wake of the Columbia accident that NASA come up with a way to fix potentially catastrophic damage to heat shielding materials while a shuttle is in orbit. Noguchi and Robinson worked in Dicovery's bay. Using a caulk gun and spatula, Robinson practiced preparing gouges in samples of reinforced carbon carbon, the material exposed to extremely intense heat on reentry. Noguchi stood by with a cloth to wipe off the tool.

ROBINSON: I'm going to take a bit of it off here.

ZARRELLA: This test and a second similar one are expected to give NASA engineers a wealth of knowledge about what repair materials and procedures will work in space.

CINDY BEGLEY, LEAD SPACE WALK OFFICER: Everything looked great on video. We can't wait to get it home and take a look at it. They will be doing evaluations of that sample where they can see the whole distribution inside the material of voids, etc, and how well the material hardens.

ZARRELLA: The spacewalk provided an opportunity for some spectacular views. Including Robinson moving hand over hand down a space station hand rail as the earth passed below him. And just to finish up the day's chores, Noguchi replaced a failed antenna and Robinson changed out a circuit breaker.

(on camera): The picture-perfect spacewalk was clearly a morale booster for NASA and the mission team. They had suffered through several down days after the tank problems came to light.

(voice-over): NASA also released stunning video Saturday of the solid rocket boosters, from the moment of ignition through separation and splash-down in the Atlantic. John Zarrella, CNN, at the Johnson Space Center in Houston.

(END VIDEOTAPE)

LIN: And we just got some new word from NASA that the Space Shuttle Discovery is actually going to stay up in space one day longer than originally planned. Things are going so well up there in space, they're going to be able to get a lot more work done with that extra day. Shuttle coming back on Monday, August 8th now because the concern is they don't know when they're going to be able to get another shuttle up there again, take advantage of the time.

All right. Much more ahead also on Iraq.

The fight for Iraq is intensifying as the country nears an August 15th deadline to draft a new constitution. Insurgents carried out several brutal attacks today using a range of tactics to target diplomats, soldiers and civilians. Now, one of the worst attacks happened at the Iraqi National Theater in Baghdad where community groups were holding talks on the country's new constitution. A suicide car bomb detonated outside the theater, killing six people and wounding 26 others.

Now, elsewhere in Baghdad, roadside bombs ripped through two separate neighborhoods. Authorities say a U.S. soldier was killed along with three Iraqi civilians. Six others were wounded.

And around the same time, four insurgents stormed the Baghdad home of an Iraqi government official. Now, police say they abducted her at gunpoint. The woman is director-general of the health ministry's projects department.

And the bodies of three Baghdad International Airport employees have been found on a Baghdad road. They were kidnapped earlier this week. The victims were found with their throats slit, blindfolded, their hands tied behind their backs. And their bodies showed signs of torture.

Now, 23 years ago, former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein allegedly ordered the execution of dozens of people in a northern Iraqi village. The brutal actions came after a failed assassination attempt against him. With Saddam's trial date expected to be announced soon, the villagers of Dujail say they hope justice will finally be carried out. Aneesh Raman has this report, one that you will only see on CNN.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

ANEESH RAMAN, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): It is on this road where Saddam Hussein's past and present collide. In a matter of months, he is set to face trial for what he did here in the small town of Dujail and the lives he destroyed among these remaining residents. In 1982, they were just kids and Saddam maintained a steel grip of Iraq, touring villages that were forced to show allegiance. On July 8th, it was Dujail's turn. A Shiite dominated village in the midst of the Sunni Triangle, resentment here simmering underneath.

SHEIKH IBRAHIM, DUJAIL RESIDENT (through translator): An operation was planned by more than 15 members of our mujahidin. We had been meeting for months before.

RAMAN: Sheik Ibrahim, at the time only 15, was part of a group of young men in Dujail committed to fighting Saddam's oppression, waiting for the right moment. It came that July morning. Saddam paid a visit. an ambush was hastily planned. On this road six men sought to kill the tie land. Mohammad Ali drove one of the shooters, Hassan, to the scene.

MOHAMMED ALI, DUJAIL RESIDENT (through translator): Hasan came to me. I took him on my motorcycle. I remember he was carrying two pistols. We drove through orchards. looking for other men. But we only saw two. Hassan shot with his pistol to give the group a sign to start shooting at Saddam.

When the convoy reached the orchards three gunmen started shooting at his convoy from the left side. Saddam's guards started shooting back. RAMAN: The dictator narrowly escaped and within hours, hell descended upon Dujail. Thousands of innocent villagers, like Ali, who was 14 at the time, were thrown in jail, tortured, many others executed and Dujail itself was destroyed. The men chose an area that once blossomed with orchards where those gunmen hid that fateful day. Saddam sent in bulldozers to clear the ground, wiping out homes in the process and sending a message to anyone who dared pose a challenge to his regime.

These men, like Ali, are lucky, sent to prison for four years, but still alive. Tortured, though, by the memory. Ali never found out what happened to his brothers, also taken into custody -- until after the war when he discovered evidence confirming the worst.

ALI HAIDARY, DUJAIL RESIDENT (through translator): I found a document signed by Saddam in 1985 to execute some of the Dujail people with us in prison. 149 people, including seven of my brothers, 34 of my relatives and 118 people of my town. They are now for God. To God they have returned.

RAHMAN: In sheer numbers, Dujail is not nearly the worst of Saddam's atrocities. But that's of no consequence to the villagers.

IBRAHIM: Saddam should be executed immediately for this. Because he killed and executed too many.

RAHMAN: And now, justice may finally come to Dujail, perhaps 23 years too late, but sooner than anyone here could have imagined. Aneesh Rahman, CNN, Dujail, Iraq.

(END VIDEOTAPE)

LIN: The struggles of soldiers after the war.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE (video clip): You can't forget these experiences. And the things that you saw, the images still haunt you every day.

LIN: He's left Iraq but Iraq has not left him. Ahead on CNN LIVE SATURDAY, the hidden scars of war and the steps the military is taking to help.

But first, are the students of Pakistan being taught terrorism? That country's president makes a controversial move to stop it. We are going to take a look at the country's battle with terrorism and whether the U.S. thinks it's doing enough.

And racial tension in small town America. The incident that ignited and divided a community. Unlike the past, this is not a case of black versus white.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

LIN: Pakistan's president is coming under fire for his latest attempt to crack down on terrorism. General Pervez Musharraf says international students studying in Islamic schools, or madrassas, will be thrown out of the country. Now, the United States says these schools are breeding grounds for terrorists. So will this help in the fight against terrorism? Joining me is terrorism expert Jim Walsh and Husain Haqqani, the author of "Pakistan, Between Mosque and Military." Good afternoon to both of you.

Husain, let me begin with you. What are these madrasssas? Are they breeding grounds for terrorists?

HUSAIN HAQQANI, "PAKISTAN, BETWEEN MOSQUE AND MILITARY": "Maddrassa" literally means a school. And it's a term used for religious seminaries in Pakistan which have proliferated the last two decades. There are 13,000 of them, whereas there were a few hundred in the 1960s. They have a curriculum that hasn't changed over the centuries. And they definitely do teach people a concept of religion that can be perceived as promoting bigotry and intolerance. However, not every madrassa teaches people to actually be a terrorist.

LIN: Jim, a million students, over a million students get churned out of these schools every year. So how many of them do you think end up being terrorists?

JIM WALSH, BELFER CENTER, HARVARD UNIVERSITY: Well, only a tiny, tiny fraction become terrorists. And in addition, the foreign students who have been asked to leave Pakistan and leave these schools, they constitute significantly less than one percent of the total number of students. Most of the folks in these schools are local Pakistani kids from poor families. And often they go to a madrassa rather than the state school because it's free. Otherwise, they have to pay fees. It certainly is true, as with some mosques there are particular madrassas and particular mosques where extremism is taught, where anti-Americanism and anti-Westernism is taught, and then some small percentage of those students go on to become violent Islamic extremists.

LIN: All right. Sounds like this week's actions by president Musharraf is under the category of better safe than sorry, Husain. He rounded up hundreds of people, many of them were actual clerics. Do you think that this is going to be effective, then?

HAQQANI: No, Carol, I think it's in the category of wagging the dog. Basically, what General Musharraf is doing is he's not focusing on the real issue, which is that some madressas were transformed into terrorist training camps during the wars in Afghanistan and Pakistan's effort to win over Kashmir from India. And so those training camps are not being shut down. Turning out 1,400 foreign students is not going to change the reality that certain madrassas actually operate just as a front for terrorist training. And those simply need to be shut down.

LIN: Jim, do you agree? And if so, what does Pakistan then need to do to be a good partner in the war on terror?

WALSH: Well, I think Husain is absolutely right. The problem is not foreigners. Even though often governments blame foreigners for their problems. This is a home grown problem. The government of Pakistan in decades past assisted, trained, encouraged Islamic militantism, in particular to fight in Kashmir, to act as proxies to fight its own wars against India. Then after having created all these people, then they have them now to deal with. And they are a threat not only so the west. They are a threat to General Musharraf himself, who has undergone at least three assassination attempts.

And so I think step number one is to really make sure the ISI, the intelligence services, other parts of the government, are not supporting, not assisting these groups for their own purposes. You can't have it both ways. You can't support terrorists for some objectives and try to crack down on others. That's the most important step.

And then obviously, beyond that, I think Musharraf has a challenge ahead of him because of the nature of Pakistan, its geography and its government.

LIN: Right. He doesn't control 90 percentyof the country, it's under tribal law. As far as his relationship with the ISI, it's a love/hate relationship. He needs their support but these guys also were the ones who independently helped launch the Taliban.

HAQQANI: Well, Carol, let me say that he does control 90 percent. It's 10 percent that is the tribal area. The problem is, does he have the will? So far, all we have seen is that he is much better at talking the talk than walking the talk that he does. Basically, he has not really made up his mind about revamping the intelligence service of Pakistan, restoring democracy to Pakistan, and ending the conventional relationship between Pakistan's military and its Islamic militants, which has been very convenient for foreign policy purposes in Afghanistan, in Kashmir, and also for domestic purposes.

For example, look at the rallies that are taking place immediately after this step. The madrassa students are allowed to rally. However, if the secular opposition wanted to rally, they would not be allowed to hold a rally anywhere in Pakistan. And that essentially is where suspicion comes that General Musharraf basically wants to use this as a card to impress the West without changing things at all.

LIN: He's walking a fine line. And that's perhaps why he has stayed in power this long. Husain Haqqani, thank you very much. Jim Walsh, appreciate the time.

WALSH: Thank you, Carol.

LIN: So you think Big Brother is watching every move of yours at work? Could be. On CNN LIVE SATURDAY, what some employees are doing to get back at the boss by using technology.

And later is your smile a little lackluster lately? CNN's Jeanne Moos with the story of how you can actually snap on Julia Roberts' smile.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK) LIN: In the African nation of Niger, two natural disasters are colliding to put nearly a third of the country's population at risk for starvation. Drought, followed by one of the worst locust invasions in decades, decimated Niger's crops. Over 3 million people, including 800,000 children, are in desperate need of food. CNN's Jeff Koinange is there.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

JEFF KOINANGE, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): The village of Sarki Yamma (ph) on the southern edge of Niger is a place steeped in tradition and folklore. Religion plays an integral part of everyday life. Traditions date back centuries. Time seems to have stood still. It's a place where men simply sit while women work the land. Women like 42-year-old Barka Sani (ph). The mother of six knows what it's like to go to bed hungry. Her country is facing its worst fall min minute in recent history. Thousands have already died, millions more are threatened. Sarni says every day is an uphill battle.

"Life is very difficult these days. All we are doing is trying to live one day at a time," she says. Sani used to belong to a community of small scale farmers who would take turns tilling each other's land and in that way share profits as well as shoulder the losses. Two consecutive years without rain and a devastating locust invasion last year made life for Sani and her fellow farmers even more difficult than usual.

"We lost everything, everything," she says. Now she's back tilling her own plot of land, aided by her children and in-laws. Across this harsh and unforgiving land, many are living hand to mouth, wondering when the rains will come, when the suffering will stop.

(on camera): Now, on an average year, in any one of these typical fields, these millet stalks would be two meters high, way above my head. Now they are just below my knees. An indicator the famine is far from over.

(voice-over): And in the country ranked among the poorest in the world, where illiteracy is high, finding work outside the farms is tough. Many women collect firewood to sell as an alternative source of income, even though it buys just a little food. In the marketplaces of towns like Maradi, good is plentiful. But many here simply can't afford to pay the high prices.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE (through translator): This is sad. It is difficult. It is really catastrophic.

KOINANGE: It's an ongoing irony in this land of contradictions. No rains, no harvests, no work, no money. A land where people farm, despite the famine. People like Barka Sani. Today she is making leaves from a local vegetable which she'll miss with pounded ground nut to make a stew. It's just enough to keep her six children smiling in a land where millions go to bed hungry every night.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

LIN: Welcome back. I'm Carol Lin and here's a look at what's happening right now in the news. In fact, news just minutes ago, NASA is extending the Discovery mission by a day. Earlier today, astronauts Steve Robinson and Soichi Noguchi applied caulk to purposely damaged shuttle tiles in a test of potentially life saving repairs. The repair technique was developed after damage to tiles on Columbia caused it to break apart on reentry back in 2003.

Police in Italy fanned out against possible terrorist attacks after Friday's arrest in Rome of a British man wanted in London. The man is one of four suspected terrorists, all now in custody from the failed attacks of July 21st. Italian officials held a hearing today on Britain's request for the suspect's extradition but issued no decision.

In Egypt, plainclothes police beat and arrested opposition demonstrators in Cairo today. The incidents followed the announcement by President Hosni Mubarak that he will run for reelection in September. The long-time U.S. ally has been in power 24 years.

And now the story of a town in Middle America and how a single crime has changed it. CNN's Alina Cho reports on the surge in racial tensions in Hamilton, Ohio.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

ALINA CHO, CNN CORRESPONDENT: In Hamilton, Ohio, population 70,000, around 10 percent Hispanic, race was never an issue, say residents, until one incident, one rape, changed everything.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: This man just raped my daughter. She's only 9 years old.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Okay, where are you?

CHO: The little girl who was raped is white. The alleged perpetrator, Hispanic.

PHILIP SAULS, FATHER: It used to be blacks and whites didn't like each other. Now it's whites and blacks who don't like the Mexicans.

CHO: Philip Sauls is the victim's father.

SAULS: Not all of them did it. I blame one man individually.

CHO: But after talking with many people in Hamilton, Sauls may be in the minority. Days after the attack, the home where the alleged rapist lived, across the street from the young girl, went up in flames. Vandals stray painted this on the front. Then the Ku Klux Klan saw an opportunity, passing out fliers like these, along with the photo of the suspect, these inflammatory words. "The time is now to stand against this and cleanse our country of this brown flood."

JARRED HENSLEY, IMPERIAL KLANS OF AMERICA: I mean, all the Hispanics and the nonwhites in general, coming in, and things like this happen and stuff. So it needs to be taken care of before it's too late and it happens a whole lot more.

CHO: The Southern Poverty Law Center, which monitors the Klan, says Jarred Hensley is with the Imperial Klans of America, one of the KKK's largest factions. He is 23, been a Klansman five years, and says the only way to achieve peace is to keep America white.

Residents say part of what's fueling the racial tension here is that the alleged rapist is still at large. At Los Pinos (ph), a grocery store in Hamilton, owner Ramona Ramirez says the city has changed since the rape. Streets that used to be full of people are empty.

Ramirez has lived in the united states for 19 years. All seven of her sons are American citizens.

Are you a little scared?

RAMONA RAMIREZ, GROCERY STORE OWNER: Well, yeah.

CHO: Even her nine-year-old son Abel is worried.

ABEL RAMIREZ, RESIDENT: This Mexican guy told me that they're going to send us all back to Mexico.

CHARLES DUNAWAY, RESIDENT: If the borders had been tightened up a long time ago, this wouldn't have happened.

CHO: Charles Dunaway lives down the street from where the nine- year-old girl was raped. Dunaway says he doesn't blame the KKK for getting involved in a community he believes is becoming too much like a foreign country.

DUNAWAY: There was an ad in the paper awhile back wanting to us learn Spanish. I don't feel that's right. This is our community. They should have to learn our language in order to be here.

CHO (on camera): But you think this whole thing is overblown?

LT. SCOTT SCRIMIZZI, HAMILTON, OHIO POLICE: Yes, I do, personally.

CHO (voice-over): Lieutenant Scott Scrimizzi of the Hamilton Police Department says the rape suspect is in the U.S. illegally. But he does not believe the community's anger is racially motivated.

SCRIMIZZI: I'm saying, this is an isolated incident. That this is a sexual predator who just happened to be of Hispanic descent.

CHO: Scrimizzi says there have been no incidents involving racism in the weeks since the rape. But ask the KKK's Jarred Hensley, and he'll say the problems are just beginning.

HENSLEY: I say that racial integration has always caused racial tension. Throughout history, throughout every country.

CHO: As long as there are whites in this country, Hensley says, and in Hamilton, Ohio, there will always be the Klan. Alina Cho, CNN, Hamilton, Ohio.

LIN: A raid on an Arkansas poultry plant has left some 30 children in limbo. Immigration officials are trying to determine if the kids were left behind when their parents were arrested. 119 workers at the plant were taken into custody Tuesday on immigration violations upper

A roller coaster ride more frightening than park-goers bargained for in Southern California. More than a dozen people suffered minor injuries at Disney's California Adventure Park Friday when two trains collided. The cause of the accident is still under investigation.

And cool pictures from the U.S. Coast Guard. This is a waterspout seen near Elizabeth City, North Carolina yesterday. Three tornados were spotted in the area. One of them touched down. But no damage was reported.

Every week, we like to bring you the more personal stories from the front lines. And today, one man's struggle to leave the front lines behind. He returned home from Iraq with his body intact but there were other scars, much more difficult to see. His story is more common than you might realize. Our Aaron Brown brings it to us.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

AARON BROWN, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): Lance Sustaida has left Iraq. He's not sure Iraq has ever, or will ever, leave him.

LANCE SUSTAIDA, HOSPITAL CORPSMEN: You can't forget these experiences. And the things that you saw, the images still haunt you every day.

BROWN: His humvee mangled by a roadside bomb. The seat where he would have been sitting, if he hadn't been given a last-minute order.

L. SUSTAIDA: What if I did go on that mission? I started thinking about my family. My wife. And I knew that this isn't planned. This isn't training. I'm at war and people die.

BROWN: Violence is the very nature of war. The inability to deal with the violence, to deal with the memories, is something far more complicated.

L. SUSTAIDA: I had nightmares about voices, smells would trigger these things. I had a small flashback.

JESSICA SUSTAIDA, WIFE: He was not the same person. He was checking the doors all the time, looking out the windows. And I kept telling him, there's something wrong, you need to go to the doctor.

BROWN: Sustaida finally agreed and began therapy at Camp Lejeune.

L. SUSTAIDA: Starting to get better, you know.

BROWN: The doctor said he had PTSD, post-traumatic stress disorder, a textbook case.

ROBERT J. LANGEFELD, OPERATIONAL PSYCHIATRIST: It is basically experiencing real or imagined threat to your life or personal integrity. But there's a number of things that can manifest that way, such as nightmares, flashbacks. People can be hyper-vigilant, easily startled, more irritable and angry, not sleeping as well. Some of the things they're experiencing were protective to them when they were in a combat theater. When you get back in a safe environment in the United States your body isn't quite ready to let go of that yet.

BROWN: A study commissioned by the "New England Journal of Medicine" found one in six Iraq and Afghanistan vets will suffer from PTSD. One in six will look just fine on the outside. While suffering, often in silence, on the inside.

COL. THOMAS BURKEY, DIR., DOD MENTAL HEALTH POLICY: The efforts that the military is making to treat PTSD now is unprecedented. Our acceptance and understanding of mental illness, while not perfect, is much better than it was 30 years ago. Our treatments are much better, much more effective.

BROWN: Generally, the treatment is a combination of psychotherapy and medication. To get soldiers into treatment, the military has rolled out an array of programs. There are written pre and post post-deployment screenings, combat stress teams in the field, a 24 hour hotline, programs to educate families.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: We're here to help anyway we can.

BROWN: Even a warrior transition program designed to help returning sailors and marines adjust to civilian life. It's a start but the "New England Journal of Medicine" found that less than 40 percent of the vets from Iraq and Afghanistan with PTSD actually sought help.

BURKEY: Getting the soldiers to overcome the fear that somehow they will be labeled as weak, or that they will be unreliable, that they won't get promoted, that their buddies won't accept them anymore. And getting them to understand that life is better after you get help for mental health issues. That's the biggest challenge.

BROWN: Sustaida seems to understand it all. He understands the treatment can help, and he understands why so many do not seek it.

L. SUSTAIDA: In the military, there's always a tough guy image as far as getting counseling and talking to your peers. There are more people out there that don't get the help that they really need. I've talked to some friends that I work with. They too have these symptoms.

BROWN: The symptoms can be treated. Even if the memories will only fade, never to disappear.

When CNN LIVE SATURDAY returns, a spy game at work. How some employers are tracking your every move, and how some employees are fighting back.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

LIN: If you work, chances are your boss knows a lot about you. More than you actually think he does. Companies are using all kinds of high-tech tools to keep a close watch on their employees. And some workers who are fed up are fighting back with some technology of their own. Our technology correspondent Daniel Sieberg takes a look at the growing struggle against Big Brother in the workplace.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

DANIEL SIEBERG, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): Ever wonder if your boss is spying on you? Bill Bartlett had more than a sneaking suspicion when a camera was installed literally over his shoulder at a cell phone retail shop.

BILL BARLETT, FORMER KIOSK EMPLOYEE: I felt it was intrusive in nature. That I was being harassed, actually. Received a phone call from my son on Father's Day to wish me happy Father's Day. And I saw the camera zooming on me to see what it is I that I was doing.

SIEBERG: And did you have any gut reaction at various times of the day?

BARTLETT: It was so close to me I actually found myself kind of running around the kiosk hiding from it. And it was so close that I had to restrain myself from actually knocking it off, the attachment. When I approached the owners and management, I was told to deal with it or to leave. So I left.

SIEBERG: When contacted by CNN, the kiosk owner stated the camera was installed to protect both the company and its employees from theft and liability.

BARTLETT: I'm a proud worker. I do the job to the best of my ability. But I think there should be guidelines.

SIEBERG: What would you tell your son about working in a situation like you were in?

BARTLETT: Well, do whatever you can to protect your civil liberties, you know. I felt it was intrusive.

SIEBERG (on camera): Bill's situation happened to take place in this mall. But you could be watched while you're sitting at your cubicle. Talking on the phone, surfing the Web. And while some employees aren't quitting their job, they are fighting back using technology. Even if it means they could get fired.

(voice-over): Computer programs like Anonymizer are available. They claim to shield users from monitoring software. One called Excleaner (ph) claims to anti-spy your boss.

DOUG ISENBERG, FOUNDER, GIGALAW.COM: You install it at your own risk.

SIEBERG: Doug Isenberg is an internet lawyer and founder of gigalaw.com.

(on camera): Are you familiar with employees who have decided to fight back or quit or are just really fed up with this amount of monitoring, be it necessary or not?

ISENBERG: The very act of installing that software might violate a company's Internet or computer usage policy.

SIEBERG: A lot of employees say, I spend a lot of overtime working for the company, maybe I don't get paid for it, I'm here early, I leave late, I've got kids to worry about, bills to pay, I don't have time to do all these things. I have to do them at work.

ISENBERG: That's why a lot of employers will tolerate a reasonable amount of personal computer use. The employer may learn that its employees are using email for personal reasons, and choose to do nothing about it. Because it keeps the employees happy. And that should be tolerated.

SIEBERG (voice-over): Although most employers have a written monitoring policy in place, experts say many companies still do not do a good enough job of informing employees about those guidelines.

NANCY FLYNN, EPOLICY INSTITUTE: Some employers will monitor telephone conversations. Some employers have installed cameras and other security devices. And other employers are monitoring computer activity. Let your employees know what you're doing when it comes to monitoring and let them know why you're doing it.

SIEBERG: According to a recent American Management Association survey, 90 percent of employees say they use company resources for some personal use. Over 60 percent of employers monitor their workers' computer usage. And 25 percent of U.S. businesses have fired an employee for email abuse alone. FLYNN: Most employees tend to think, my email is my business. My employer has no right to read my email messages, particularly if it's a message to a friend or family member. But in reality, here in the U.S., the federal government gives employers the right to monitor all employee e-mail, instant messaging, and Internet activity.

SIEBERG: Ultimately, experts say companies need to find a balance between clamping down too hard and lowering employee morale, and mitigating any legal hot water. Daniel Sieberg, CNN, Coral Springs, Florida.

LIN: Now, admit it, at one point or another we've all looked at a celebrity and said, I'd like to have that hair, or maybe their eyes. But have you ever wanted their smile? Well, CNN's Jeanne Moos with a story we're chomping at the bit to bring to you next.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

LIN: Well, here's a story you can sink your teeth into. A New York dentist is offering patients a chance to have movie star smiles without having to spend thousands of dollars. What's the catch? You have to have -- you have to part with these pearly whites at the end of the day. CNN's Jeanne Moos explains.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

JEANNE MOOS, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): Dentures are dated. The latest thing is the snap-on smile. Not just anybody's smile.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: These are Gwyneth.

MOOS: Gwyneth as in Paltrow. Can you see the toothy resemblance? Maybe you'd prefer the Sarah Jessica, as in Sarah Jessica Parker. Or the Julia, as in Julia Roberts.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: They're like horse teeth almost on me.

MOOS: Danielle King's own teeth are smallish. The snap-ons can be made to fit almost anybody. Check out the before and after. She's missing three teeth?

DR. MARK LIECHTUNG, DENTIST: She has three teeth.

MOOS: New York dentist Dr. Mark Liechtung doesn't just make them, he wears them to get the feel of the device he patented. A set like this might set you back over $1,000. They're for people who don't want to spend, say, $20,000 on veneers. Or maybe they want them for a special occasion.

JENNIFER VASQUEZ, SNAP ON SMILE WEARER: t was definitely a financial thing. I'm getting married.

MOOS: There's her ring. Jen Vasques will have the snap-ons for the perfect smile in her wedding pictures. So when she reveals her actual teeth --

They look good without them.

It takes just two appointments. They make a mold. The snap-ons cling to the tiny bulges in your teeth.

LIECHTUNG: And it doesn't move. I've never had a case where it moved or fell out.

MOOS: Never?

LIECHTUNG: Never.

MOOS: Jen can eat soft food and chew gum. The latest design, made out of a more flexible resin with cut-out windows, enables you to eat regular food. You just ake them out when you sleep, like contact lenses.

You can't exchange them? I couldn't put on your teeth or anything like that?

LIECHTUNG: No. You couldn't put on my teeth.

MOOS: At the New York Center for Cosmetic dentistry, Dr. Jeff Golum-Evans concentrates on replicating celebrity smiles.

DR. JEFF GOLUB-EVANS, COSMETIC DENTIST: A good spoil has become a fashion accessory. And a great smile has become a fashion statement.

MOOS: The Sarah Jessicas and Julias and Gwyneths are easy to mix up.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: These are mixed up. No wonder I didn't like the way they looked on me.

MOOS: Dr. Golub-Evans even made snap-ons for a woman in her 80s who asked for Kim Cattrall's smile.

GOLUB-EVANS: Bless her heart. What she wants is to have nice teeth on Sunday when she goes to church.

MOOS: But be prepared to lisp until your tongue adapts. Dr. Golub-Evans used to make snap-ons for actors when they needed bad teeth. A snap-on smile reminds us of Halloween. Billy Bob teeth. Even Billy Bob gums. Whitney Casey never leaves home without a set of bad teeth in her makeup kit.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: No guy is going to date you with these teeth.

MOOS: When overly aggressive guys hit on her, she puts them in. We both did.

We should try walking down the street.

Prepare for sneak peeks. If you want to wipe the smile off a guy's face, try this.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Hello, lover.

MOOS: Jeanne Moos, CNN, New York.
