of lahm ba of islamabad, you spoke to pakistani officials, what are they saying? are they denying there's informants in custody for helping out in that raid? >> they are not denying the report. they say they indeed have these individuals in custody. saw dan. just when you thought this relationship between pakistan and the u.s. couldn't get more twisted and tangled we learned the isi has indeed arrested a number of suspected informants for the cia. these are men who allegedly helped the cia. >>s it anot clear why they were arrested. when they were arrested and what crime they are going to be charged with if any. "the new york times" is reporting one of these men is an army major writing down license plates of car going into and out of the come bound. one official demise that report. one of the individuals is an

army officer, we do understand according to security officials that some of these men were staying in a safe house rented by the cia serving as lookout on to the bin laden compound. the glaring question why is the isi going after cia inform aebts if indeed the isi was on board in u.s. efforts to go after bin laden. you think they praise these men, not arrest them. the fact they arrest them suggests they may not have been happy with what they did. it's too early to tell what they plan to do with these men. but, again, they fuel the big question that never seems to go away. is pakistan washington's friend or do they, at times, deceive the u.s. by playing a double game. >> reza, let's talk about that. what do you think this means for u.s.-pakistani relations. it's deteriorated quite a bit. are they telling you on the pakistani side that the cooperation is over? we'll do what we want to do

here? >> well, the rhetoric on record is positive. but it doesn't square with what's happening on the ground. the fact is, this relationship is at a low point. there's deep mistrust. friction and all sorts of finger pointing. last weekend, head of the cia, leon panetta came in here reportedly with evidence that the colluding with militants. we can go on and on and on. the bottom line is, how can these two countries who say they need one another, find a way to fix things, improve relations, that clearly is not happening. >> thank you, reza. appreciate it. nate to warplanes launch new attacks. that happened last night. rebels are pushing back. forces loyal to moammar gadhafi

in the east and west of the country. meanwhile, in syria -- this protest video was posted online by syrian activist. they say it is from yesterday in the city of hamas. syrian's government has launched a bloody crackdown on the opposition. the daily crackdown is forcing thousands, thousands of people to run for their lives. cnn's arwa damon, she managed to reach some of those refugees. >> reporter: this man is one of hundreds of syrians living in squaller and fear, just a stone's throw from the turkish border. >> we're right now on the very edge of this makeshift camp.

you can see the crude tents people have strung up for shelter, just starting to rain now. just a plastic tarp. cramped together, six family, their feet caked in mud. mothers trying to provide their children what comfort they can. >> it was raining last night quite heavily, and they're spending the entire night on their feet. the entire floor was turned into mud. >> the women who don't want to be filmed simply ask, is there anything left that we haven't been through? the families here bathe in a muddy stream. where they also wash the few clothes they brought with them. illnesses are already spreading. my biggest problem are the children, a pharmacist said and people with party disease. i don't have the medicine for that. he emptied his shelveses as he fled, setting up something of a

field hospital. a child he was trying to treat returns. but given the child pills, but he can't swallow them. he has to somehow give him an injection. he's going through everything he has here trying to figure out what's suitable. the people here are mostly from the ground of nearby villages. they fled, as the security forces closed in. but not before witnessing brutal destruction. they set our fields on fire. destroyed our homes. this woman laments. the military started bombing as she left, she says. her family plans on crossing into turkey for protection. but others choose to stay here. hoping against hope they will receive news of loved ones lost

in the chaos. some even dreaming of returning home. 26-year-old mousa is heading back to his village. i was on my friend's motorcycle and suddenly saw the military advancing toward the olive groves. and they started shooting. for now, mousa and many others watch and wait fearful the government forces will hunt them down in the retched corner of their homeland. >> cnn's arwa damon is joining us from the turkish-syrian border. clearly, unbelievable conditions there. do you have a sense of the kind of help that is coming for he's rev u g refugees? >> reporter: suzanne, for the most part they've been relying on the kindness of turkish visitors across the border, who have been using various

smuggling routes, bread, baby's milk. they've been able to make two shipments of baby's medicine. but for the resident on the syrian side of the border are struggling much more. they are being provided with food, water, medical care, they are being sheltered in tents that are more sturdy than those that you saw right there. at the same time, they cross into turkey, they are effectively shut off. they don't have movement in and out of these camps. the media doesn't have access. they have large tarps set around. that prevent the refugees from take speaking to us. in the meantime they are safe but certainly desperate and they wonder what takes drastic action against this regime. >> we're getting information here the press office on the

phone that they've accepted an application to visit the syrian refugees on the turkish side of the border, she's worked with them before as humanitarian advocate. how important is it, do you think, to shine a spotlight on this particular border and tell this story about what is happening there? do you think it will make a difference? >> yes, suzanne, i do think it would make a difference. first of all, it would be among the first time an individual has been allowed access. remember, it's not just the media that has been allowed. there's a number of international organizations that have been able to speak directly with the refugees inside the camps and witness first hand conditions. it's also important to continue to hear stories that these refugees are speaking about which is something angelina jolie would have an opportunity to do as well. the issue is trying to get the word out in the strongest way

possible as to what is actually taking place in syria, given the fact that the media and international organizations are not allowed inside. these refugees bring critical story, and certainly an issue that has to be propelled a lot further into the international spotlight. that's what activists telling us, thus far, the effort to bring about united international stamp. at the end of the day, the people surf from the international community failures are syrian civilians. >> thank you so much for bringing attention to this. humanitarian crisis taking place right there on the border. very unstable situation. thank you, arwa. a lot of people like to bring their own bags to the grocery store. but a study finds the reusable bags can carry some pretty nasty stuff. a new report shows women in hundreds of u.s. counties dying

younger than their mothers did, a generation earlier. university of washington say that life expectancies declined between 1997 and 2007. in a quarter of u.s. counties, you can see this on the map. counties in red are where life expectancy is the lowest. it is mostly in the south and lower midwest. researchers say the trend is fueled by high blood pressure, oh bosity and poverty. where does the alife expectancy rank compared to the rest of the world? ach "a," "b" or "c"? ce to 55 million more americans, many in small towns and rural communities, giving them a new choice. we'll deliver better service, with thousands of new cell sites... for greater access to all the things you want, whenever you want them.

house and president obama setting to defend military intervention in libya with a report and explanation to go to congress. that is according to the white house. clearly, this is escalating here. this is a situation where there are members of congress, and also voters, americans who want to know whether or not the president has the authority to continue with the u.s. troop involvement in libya. i under we now have our white house correspondent, brianna keiler. we're going to go to her in just a moment to give us more information about this story. there's a lost attention between law makers and the white house over this issue whether or not the president has this athought without first reporting to congress. all right we'll move on to another story. you want to do your part to save a planet? obvious, instead of paper or plastic, take our yoen fabric jobs to the grocery store over an over without watching them.

our correspondent elisabeth cohen tells us why that might be a bad idea. >> you are doing a good thing for the planet. people don't think about this. hamburger, right here, you plunk it in your bag. guess what, this plastic wrap can leak on to other foods and on to the bag itself. >> so the canadian plastics industry did a study where they swabbed bag, based on the results the canadian government issued an advisory there's stuff in these bags. >> what do they swab? >> i wasn't tell you everything. people might be eating breakfast or lunch. let's take a look at some things they found. they found 64% were contaminated with bacteria. 64% and 30% had bacteria that were at higher counts considered safe in drinking water and 40

per had yeast or mold this them. >> so, not happy numbers. not what you want to see. >> if you want to be green and take your gag to the grocery store, what would you do? >> a bunch of different things you can do. first of all, walk them between uses. most of them are this kind of fabric that can be walked and even in a slightly diluted bleach solution. that would kill all of the stuff. another thing you want to do is accept rate your foods, for example, if you have meat here, you want to put meat in one bag and put produce in the other, meat goes in one, and produce goes in another. that's another thing you want to do. also wrap stuff up. don't put it in like this. wrap it up again, i know you're using a disposable bag. wrap it up in a disposable bag to make sure it's not leaking. >> great advice. i know you don't think about it. >> thanks, elizabeth. >> thanks. >> now time to choose the new,

independent. how the economy is forcing young adults to hit up mom and dad for help. in the nation's heartland, a 1700 mile flood threat. thousands of homes, businesses, along the missouri river, could be flooded, as the river prizes. in the danger zone now is from montana to missouri. right now, there is a furious effort under way to protect those threatens areas with sand bags and temporary levee, flooding brought on by record hinge r spring rains. one of the ireporters has been sending us amazing scenes from the flood zone. his name is mark armstrong, a county commissioner there. and the whole area is threatened by the rising water. people are waiting to see what happens for the next two months. this is going to be here for the next two months. there's concerns the flow could be higher because the snow pack in montana hasn't melted. we have a real bad situation here. people are worried, not knowing

what to do exactly. they don't know if they should defend their hopes where there's a water intrusion. they have dikes around them. >> mark armstrong is with us via skype. mark, first of all, tell us what kind of area this is. how many homes are threatened where you are seen? >> not only are they threatened. you have over a thousand homes on both sides of the river completely in water. residents, about 4,000 have been evacuated from those homes right now. as you heard, some are trying to go back and defend those homes, but the water continued to rise. over the next two months, they have to defend their homes. that's a very troubling thing. both cities have temporary levees in place, as this water continues to push up. they have to hope the levees hold for at least the next two months, p as the missouri river

puts out more than it ever has historically. >> many have gone back to their home, has that posed a problem here? >> it's a terrible problem. they're trying to protect their most valuable asset, their home. it's in water right now. they are trying to pump out the water from behind the dike, as ground water intrudes from behind those. they have to go in by canoe or boat over what used to be roads. mark, can you hear us? i think we lost mark. obviously, very difficult situation there. facing flooding in that area. a lot of people trying to get your stuff out as the water rises, we'll continue to follow that story a little bit later. >> president and congress headed for a showdown over libya. the house speaker warns the president may soon be violating the law. the afternoon tour begins with more pain and more pills.

a bipartisan group of law makers plans to file a lawsuit today over the u.s. military mission in libya. also house speaker jon boehner is demanning that the president explain the u.s. operation by friday. he said the president -- if the president doesn't get authorization from coming by sunday, he could be in sky lags of the war powers act. congress passed the war powers

act in 1973, in the aftermath of the vietnam war. it sets a 60-day deadline for the president to get approval after deploying troops to hostile areas. if the president doesn't get approval. the mission must end within 30 days. that 30 day period ends sunday. the white house insists it's complying with the war powers act. the obama administration could send reports today. i want to bring the white house correspondent, reanna keiler, seems to be the latest move, pressure on the white house to do something before this deadline. first of all, is there any reaction to the possibility of members of congress actually filing this lawsuit now? >> at this point, we don't have reaction on that, that's sort of a new development, u zahn, i think what we're expecting as early as today and probably today, is the guidance i'm

getting from the white house on this report from congress, which we should point out. this is a direct response to a house resolution, in that resolution, there are 21 question, very detailed questions posed. i think what we're getting today, possibly today, possibly tomorrow is something that is going to be more detald. you're going to see an argument on the part of the white house we expect for why they are in compliance with the war powers resolution that you mentioned. they said they are in compliance with it. they haven't detailed their legal argument on that, and they are also expecting the white house to answer questions on what the goal is in libya, how the president hopes to achieve it and what the cost would be. that's something very much on the minds of lawmakers suzanne. >> does the obama administration, do they think sending information to congress will satisfy these lawmakers, potentially make the lawsuit go away? >> i think -- i don't know about

the lawsuit. keeping in mind the lawsuit is backed by a number of members of congress but a lot of these questions and demands, and a lot of members of congress accuse the white house of flaunting the resolution, there's plenty of those. that's their concern. i think they're hoping it will assuage some of their concerns. if some members of congress are making a legal argument, even though they're not asking for congressional authorization, certainly some won't be happen, then you have others like senator john mccain calling for a response like this too little too late. >> it's kind of ironic, that speaker boehner is scheduled to get together this weekend. can you tell us about it? >> they're playing golf. president obama, vice president joe biden, the speaker and ohio

fwofer in jo governor, is going to be the fourth. this is interesting to me, not only do we have the libya issue, vice president biden is is involved in deficit reduction talks. if she's guys run out of something to talk about on the golf course saturday, i don't know what you can say about that. >> they have club, i hope they can use them for golf and that alone. >> all right. we'll see how that goes, thank you, appreciate it. don't forget to vote for the choose the news story. text 1 for man-made earthquake. scientists say in arkansas, there's a lot more going on than mother nature, text 2 for what hackers want, a group of hackers attack the senate website. experts say they know why they are doing it. text 3 for chrome book. we'll show you googled's answer to the laptop.

enabling them especially if they have a job. they need to learn to set their own budgeets and learn the value and impact on their credit. one final point. make sure that helping your kids is not hurting your own retirement. check on your own savings. and a good look to look is cnn.com/retirement. great advice, alison. no moochers, but people need a helping hands these days. thank you. >> exactly. now your responses to today's talk back question. carol costello is here. >> you're wearing red, and you are wearing blue. >> patriotic. tell us what you are talking about? >> this is from tim.

speech. next time there is a big presidential debate, will rick perry be on the stage? >> i understand there are meetings adding to the intrigue? >> what is it with new york city today and yesterday? everything is going on there. we were talking about rick perry, he was just meeting in the last hour or two with former mayor guiliani. guiliani is breaking bread and having learn windchill chris christie. chris christie has said forget about it. he said it again last night, not running for the white house. he sat down with peers morgan last night. take a listen to what he said. >> i don't think any of them have yet distinguished themselves to say this is the best person, not only to take on

u.s. ally. >> if indeed they were onboard to find bin laden, you would think they would applaud them and commend them, and the fact they are arresting them adds to the big question, the most pressing question, is pakistan a u.s. friend. are they onboard in the fight against militants or playing a double game? tens of thousands of protesters surround the capital in greece. and police let the tear-gas can stirs fly. the rage is being fueled by a government plan to cut spending and get the massive budget deficit under control. a legal showdown now over libya. a bipartisan group of lawmakers will file a lawsuit today over the u.s. participation in the military mission. house speaker john boehner warns the president is in danger of violating the war powers act.

policy makers say congress is trying to have a say in the libyan mission. >> what congress is trying to do is use the war powers argument as a political stick to score some political points, to force the president to go up to capitol hill, spend political capital in depending the war and trying to get a stronger voice -- congressional voice is shaping libya operations. >> in arizona, a single camp fire may have started the biggest wildfire in the state's history. that word coming from investigators today. they're talking with two people of interests. the fire in eastern arizona has driven thousands of people from their homes, and today evacuees from the town of knew tree oso are allowed back in. right now the fire is only 20% contained. along the missouri river, and around the clock battle to keep floodwaters out of homes and businesses.

intelligence agency -- i can't speak for them. but, american citizens were spying for pakistan in the united states, and on any issue, without declaring those folks to the american government, technically these people are spying. so leaving aside the wrongs or writes of them helping to find bin laden from a technical point of view, pakistan has ever right to arrest or detain or intear gate citizens that it feels are working for a foreign power. that's just the way of the world. now -- >> peter, what do you think this says about the u.s. and pakistan relationship now? >> well, i don't think that it has been worse. i think this is the worse point it has been since 1990 when the united states put sanctions on pakistan because of its nuclear program, and it's bad. very bad. and this is just one of the series of incidents on both sides of the equation which have

really bored these relationships to kind of this point. the biggest, of course, incident before the arrests of bin laden of pakistan was in late january, and there was a huge story in pakistan. it doesn't get that much attention in the united states because of the dramatic events were happening simultaneously. it was the story in pakistan for weeks. >> peter, clear the bin laden raid and more recent attacks by militants have been a big blow to pakistan's military. is this a way to reassert their power and save face in a way? >> that may well be motivation. as you say, suzanne, they were humiliated by the american action to seize bin laden, and helicopters not being picked up

on pakistani radar, and that was humiliating for the pakistanis, and then there was an attack on a pakistani naval station in u karachi. and that was again, dem straighting sensitive military installations in pakistan may have been compromised by the taliban or related groups. so it has been a very bad month for the military. the general -- chief of army staff, you know, has -- i think it has been one of the worst times he has had. >> and real quick, peter s. there anything that needs to be done now to kind of break the impasse and turn things around, anything the united states could do regarding pakistan to change their behavior? >> i think one thing the united states could do is fewer drone strikes. last year there was a record number of drone strikes.

not all of these are getting senior al qaeda leaders by any stretch. i think a more calibrated program that was not so consistent would go some way to repairing the breach between these two countries. >> thank you so much. as always. we appreciate your expertise. thank you. here's your chance to talk back on one of the big stories making big news today. today's question, do politicians need to show their patriotism to get elected? carol, we did not coordinate these outfits, right? >> no, but we are true patriots despite it. love the country is no longer a given. you have to prove it. prove you bleed not only red, but white and blue, too. and one man that is running for president will do that in the shadow of the statute of

liberty. sarah palin proved her patriotism by visiting landmarks on her one-nation tour. and then one man is under fire because of planting a flag under water. and then politico was told he displayed the american flag on an under water wreck as a sign of respect for the flag and for the veterans who overcomed their disabilities. and then candidate obama was accused of not loving his country because he did not place his hand over his heart during the star-spangled banner. he started wearing flag pins because he was taken back by the fuss.

whispers around the home that joseph was starting to re-sem bull schwarzenegger. she would say things like i hear if you need to talk. i have so much love and respect for maria, and finally she asked pointblank. and she claims, suzanne, that she and maria shriver cried together and held each other. she was so strong, she cried with me and told me to get off my knees. we held each other, and i told her it was not aurnie's fault, that it takes too, and she did use the word arnie. >> do we have a sense of whether arnie had a relationship with his son? >> sounds like the boy would like to develop a relationship with schwarzenegger, but not clear if there's a relationship right now. >> fascinating story. >> and the lawyer for the housekeeper released a statement

orlando. he is a crucial prosecution witness because of this testimony. >> did you ask her what she wanted done? >> yes, sir. bella vita means a beautiful life in italian, and a beautiful life tattoo is what casey anthony asked for 16 days after her accidentally drowned. was she sad, solemn or serious when she got the tattoo. >> how would you dau vibe her demeanor? >> normal. >> what does that mean? >> didn't seem upset about anything. happy for the most part. >> did she leave right after? >> no, we ordered pizza and she had a couple slices. >> reporter: using examples like the tattoo, and this picture already shown to the jury, shows casey in a hot body contest four

days after caylee disappeared. how will they explain the tattoo? in order to honor her daughter. >> reporter: the potential problem with that defense is the tattoo artist wanted another tattoo, and this time said she would bring caylee with her. her mother took the stand. the blanket missing was found with caylee's body. when cindy anthony walked off the stand, it appeared she mouthed the words i love you to her daughter, who looked away. >> gary tuckman joins us live from orlando.

>> what did they tell you? what was their demeaner? >> reporter: just a few minutes i talked with them, and it was a an important development in the case, the judge denied a motion by the defense for a motion of acquittal, and that's a routine thing the defense does at the end of the prosecution's case. the judge denied that and said the defense will be calling its witness tomorrow, and that was a big defeat. i saw george and cindy coming down to the elevator. and i said i am sorry for what you must be going through, and they said thank you. when we were in the elevator, they held each other and cried in each other's arms for the entire 23 floors. it was very important to see that, because george has been accused by his daughter of amestlessiamest

le -- molesting her. and she said when her daughter accidentally drowned, and there's no evidence of that whatsoever, she never told anybody because of what she experienced in her life when she was the victim of incest. if you believe that cindy believes that george possibly had sexual relations with their daughter, she would not be hugging him and crying with him and looking for his support, and they love each other very much and i could tell that on the elevator. >> and this must be taking its toll on cindy. >> it's really hard for her in a number of ways. one way we discovered today, the prosecution said during this motion for acquittal, they said we believe that one of the motives for casey killing her daughter is the rivalry that she had with her mother, she felt like her mother was telling her she was not a good mother, and that's one of the motives for this murder. it's so sad all the way around for george and cindy anthony,

watching their daughter fight for his life, and knowing their granddaughter is dead and knowing what is said about him, and in the opening statements, the defense said that this man molested casey anthony, and that's one of the reasons this murder happened. there is absolutely zero evidence, suzanne, so far that he did this. none. and that's why people think casey anthony has to take a stand. if she takes the stand, it will be a television spectacle. >> thank you for pulling the curtain back there and giving us a back story behind the scenes look of what is taking place in the very dramatic trial. thank you. >> the defense begins making its case tomorrow in casey anthony's capital murder trial. we will talk about what her lawyers need to do. we were actually thinking, maybe... we're going to hike up here, so we'll catch up with you guys.

the judge in the casey anthony murder trial today rejected a defense motion for acquittal. the motion came after the prosecution rested. the defense begins its case tomorrow. joining us from austin texas with analysis of the case is criminal defense attorney, richard herman. thank you for joining us. has the prosecution made its case that anthony casey killed

her 2-year-old daughter? >> i don't believe they have. this is a first degree intentional killing that they have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt. we don't know if the duct tape was put on and that was used to kill her before she was dead or after. we don't know if chloroform was used to put her to death or released in the car through cleaning solvents and other things. we know from the evidence that casey was a great mother. we don't know anything bad about her being a bad mother. when you get up in the summation and tell the jury, if you don't know these answers or paused to hesitate this much, that's reasonable doubt and you must not convict. i don't believe the state has proven their case. >> what about the stories that have been told that don't seem to pan out, that she has been lying? does that account for anything here? >> yeah, that counts that she's a liar, but not a murderer.

however, you are right, a lot of jurors will be so inflamed by the fact of her serial compulsive lying, they may hold that against her and leap to the verdict of guilty because of the conduct. this conduct by her is so repulsive that many of the jurors i believe at this point have already made up their mind to convict her. >> but you say they don't have the evidence to do that, is that right? >> i don't believe they have sufficient evidence. however, look, this is a middle district of florida jury. orlando, florida. there's a young girl that is dead. a horrible case. it was really inflammatory the way they put the face with her mother smiling and turned it into a skeleton, and then the junk science with a doctor so

inept, and i think that will be reversible error, and i do believe that many of the jurors, they have had enough of this casey and don't like the way she treated her parents and don't like the opening by jose baez, which was horrible, because he will not be able to prove the insane statements in his opening, and many jurors will take that out in the verdict. >> should they put casey on the stand? >> they cannot put her on the stand. there was nothing to gain by it. if they put her on the stand, the cross-examination will begin with 500 lies that she's told to every one, including her parents. and then they will go to the jury in summation and say this is a liar, and she lied to everybody and lying to you, and you can't believe her, vote guilty. >> we will watch very closely to see how the defense presents its

own side. thank you. >> they will go after the forensi forensics. that's what they are going to do. >> okay. much of america's heartland is under water flooding along the missouri river could last for months. we're going to go live to omaha, nebraska, where the water now is rising fast.

last a couple months now. the missouri river's floodwaters threatened thousands of homes and businesses. casey, if you will, just set the scene for us. how fast is this water risinris? what kind of situation are these folks in? >> reporter: the water has crested. it has not been rising too fast during the day. that doesn't mean that there is not an incredible volume of water coming through here. you can see the water level over here. the sculptures behind me and several feet obviously of height that this river is above its normal height. and it's also spread out around its banks. this is what 1.25 million gallons of water per second looks like. you can see how fast this water is moving south. this water being released from reservoirs through dams north of here because there is so much water throughout the whole

missouri river valley. now one of the big issues here is sandbagging. local officials have been asking volunteers to come out and filling hundreds of thousands of sandbags to sort of protect the low-lying areas here in omaha. one of the big concerns. of course this weekend, the college world series is scheduled to be played here at a ballpark a little ways from where i am standing, and so officials are quite concerned about fan's ability to get to the stadium. let's listen to what one had to say. >> i-80 is open, of course there are other roads that are closed, but i-80 east and west should not the be a problem getting here. we've -- all of the hotels in the downtown area have emergency preparations planned and we're checking with them today and will continue to do that daily. they will have excess sandbags if they need them, and hopefully they won't need them. we're conscientious of what could happen, and looking for

the worst but praying for the best. >> reporter: they want to avoid significant damage here in omaha, but the wild card is the weather. there are thundershowers forecasted throughout the next few days, and that could present problems for downtown omaha. still planning on the world series, though. >> thank you. and then our own jacqui jeras joins us. you warned they had 48 hours to be on watch because it could mean flooding for major areas. are the levees holding up? well, they were rushing to try and shore up a secondary levee outside of town. here you can see, there is the missouri river and here is a

hole where a levee was breached. they tried to add an extra 3 feet on a man made levee and they think they can do it. their goal is to get it done by 2:00 today. that water is closer and we have reports along i-29 that at least one lane northbound has been closed off and they expect a complete 20-mile stretch in the area to be closed by tomorrow. the water is rising quickly. it will continue to be tested. this is not just a one-day thing, suzanne. this record flow is expected to stay throughout the month of august. one other area we're watching, up near where casey yi yungz is. we have reports of a sand boil in this area. let me tell what you a sand boil is and why it could threaten the airport. this is an animation. what happens, water gets underneath the levee and gets on the dry side of the levee and

starts to boil up, and so eventually what that can do is make the whole thing basically kind of crumble underneath with the soil and cause the levee to fail. that's the concern there. the equivalent of 1.1 million gallons a second that is being released through the dam up in south dakota. >> thank you so much. we'll watch that closely. thank you. sounding off on today's talkback question. do politicians need to show their patriotism to get elected. one says sure parents embarrass you or them at times, but you cannot help loving them. carol costello is up with more responses next.
