Robert Baer, CIA agent turned novelist is also a film-maker. His documentary is called "The Cult of the Suicide Bomber" and it's scarier than anything Hollywood is producing. Baer tells Steve Paulson about the first modern suicide bomber and how they've become heroes in Iran. He says martyrdom by suicide bombing is a political weapon not a religious act; that it's a virus and it's spreading. And we hear clips from his film.
