about half of all americans do. and we deal with a court ruling and the body swales program until edward snowden revealed it that can collect phone records on each and every call americans make. the district court ruling it probab probably eliminates search and seizure protections. i cannot maj a more indiscriminate and arbitrary invasion than this systematic high-tech data on virtually every citizen for purposes of querying and analyzing it without prior judicial approval. and a george bush judicial appointee called it orwellian and aghast at the scope of it. but did hold off six months before shutting it down while they give their opinion. t they said they did believe it was constitutional.

and edward snowden said i acted on my belief that nas's mass swales programs would not withstand a constitutional challenge and the american people deserved to see it. a secret program by a secret court exposed to the light of day found to violate americans righ rights. and he is still in a world of trouble. cbs news' john miller asked the head of the task force investigating the leaks whether he would consider cutting a deal with snowden to get it back. >> he's already said if i got amnesty i would come back. given the potential damage to national security, what would your thought on making a deal be? >> my personal view is, yes, it's worth having a conversation about. i would need assurances that the remainder of the data could be secured. my bar for those assurances

would be very high, more than just an assertion on his part. >> the head of nas disagrees, wants him prosecuted. mr. greenwald broke the story and i spoke with him tonight along with cnn jeffrey toobin. >> a federal judge said the nsa program almost certainly violates the constitution. does that vindicate what edward snowden did? >> i don't think so. but one of the things people like me have been saying from the very beginning is what snowden exposed has not been shown to be illegal. today, a judge said it was illegal. so there's no question that today is a big victory for glenn greenwald and snowden and all of their supporters. >> in your opinion why doesn't it justify what he did? >> he still took classified information and exposed it in a completely illegal way requires tens if not hundreds of millions of dollars of work by the

american government to redo, plus, potentially exposed it to the chinese and the russians. so i don't support what snowden did at all. i don't think this vindicates him but it certainly comes a lot closer to vindicating him than any previous development has. >> glenn, should this vindicate edward snowden in the eyes of those who still believe he's a traitor? >> how could it not vindicate him. here is an american citizen working inside the government discovers the united states government is doing things without the knowledge of the american people that is so illegal, so against the core constitutional guarantees of the discussion that a george bush appointed judge today said it's not even a close call. he said james madison would be aghast if he knew that the u.s. government would be selecting extremely invasive data on every single american without any remote suspicion, let alone probable cause. i think it's not only the right but the duty of the citizens in

edward snowden situation to come forward at great risk to himself and inform his fellow citizens what the american government is doing in the dark that is illegal. >> what should she have done? what should an american citizen do if they see something illegal inside the system? >> the can go to the inspector general, go to congress and work through the established channels every person who has access to classified information has. it is simply not a tenable way to run a government if the hundreds of thousands of people who have security clearances suddenly decide they don't like something and they can then disclose it. yes, it is true one judge has vindicated snowden's interpretation of the law. this is far from the last word on this subject an this is not the way the system is supposed to work. >> can the system work this way

if all government employees disclose such things? >> all government employees don't. when daniel aldberg, who has become his biggest supporter. he said when you find something so egregious it's your ethical and moral duty to tell the citizens. there is unfortunately no channel for someone jeff is describing in mr. snowden's position to come forward. >> jeff, the oversight you talk about, when you bear down and look at it, the people in congress who allegedly have oversight over the nsa and intelligence committee they really only know what they're informed about by the intelligence agencies. it's not as if they have people inside the intelligence agencies monitoring what's going on. >> that's true. all the more reason if there is someone who calls himself a whistle-blower, they should go to people like ron wyden, the senator from oregon, who has been so outspoken about this,

they should go to the people who are trying to get the story out through legal means. giving the documents to glenn greenwald is not an orderly or fair or ultimately responsible way to run a government. it is simply untenable to have a system where mr. snowden, even if one court has said he's right, can force the government to spend hundreds of millions of dollars, can jeopardize individuals who are working on those systems. it's just not awie to run a government. >> glenn, let me ask you -- >> anderson- >> go ahead, you can respond. >> i want to say one thing. if you look at the stories over the last decade the most widely regarded in journalism, what it involves is people in the government discovering illegal behavior on the part of political officials in secret, coming to journalists to report on it responsibly. that's how we learned about the cia black site exposed or the warrantless wiretapping program

the "new york times" was able to talk about because someone in the justice department came to them or lots of different stories jeff's own magazine, "the new yorker" has published where people inside the government come to them and say, i have discovered these secret instances of wrongdoing. i trust you as a journalist to report it responsibly. that is why we have a free press. that's very much part of the fabric of american democracy. >> jeff, i'm assuming you take issue with the idea of the volume of information -- >> the difference between those situations is you have investigative journalists seeking out individual facts and individual substitutes versus disclosure of entire government programs, all the underlying documents, which jeopardize the investigation each terrorism, a word that has not yet come up in our conversation. it is worth mentioning the reason for all this is not because the nsa is some inherently evil organization,

there are real threats to the united states out there. >> glenn, let me ask you, an nsa official said it would be a conversation worth having the idea of perhaps giving amnesty to edward snowden and other officials of the nsa are clearly completely against that. one of the conditions alleged about having this discussion was about guarantees other documents wouldn't be released. is that something that edward snowden could even guarantee given that you have possession and others have possession of these documents? >> if you go back and read an op-ed in the "washington post," what he essentially said three months ago is edward snowden was right to flee the country because whistle-blowers don't get a free trial. what edward snowden said from the start, if i could guarantee i would be given fair treatment and not persecuted for the

stories brought to light, i would do that. but generally the federal government is vindictive to those who expose their wrongdoing. government officials break the constitution and violate it, they get promotions. the people who expose it like mr. snowden get indictments. that's the real injustice that needs to be resolved before he can return. >> thank you. you can twitter us if you want to talk about it. coming up next, you might not want to book a crews cruise after you see this investigation, not just went wrong with the carnival last winter, but also the cruise line where it was hard for the 17-year-old badly wounded outside that hospital in denver. ♪ [ car beeps ] ♪

fun ship. we're basically having to fend for ourself. >> reporter: she and her daughter had planned this cruise a half a year. they would sail on the carnival triumph and celebrate isabel's birthday. it was the trip of a lifetime until they awoke to a fire alarm and smoke in their hallway and days and days of misery. human waste was actually piling up outside their door. >> just on our deck alone there were the biohazard bags lined up across the floor. we're talking about raw sewage at the end of our deck alone. it was repulsive. >> it was, according to rodriguez, a nightmare, now made even worse because of these, the cruise lines own roeports, suspici inspections and maintenance records more than a year before rodriguez and her daughter were on board. houston attorney frank

spagnoletti details the documents. >> it should have never set sail. it was unseaworthy at the onset of the voyage. these documents tell you the company, i'm saying the corporation back in miami had knowledge of the fact this vessel had a propensity for fires and could have been and should have been and weren't done in order to make sure-fires didn't take place. >> the first trouble with triumph, diesel generator number 6, the one that ended up catching fire. starting more than a year before the infamous cruise it was overdue for maintenance with the safety laws of the sea known as solus, according to the engineer. over and over again, carnival's maintenance reports say the same thing. diesel generator number 6, overdue for maintenance. during that same time period, carnival learned about an even

more alarming safety problem in the maintenance room. fuel lines. in fact, carnival costa allegra had a fire because it leaked to a hot spot and ignited. carnival's own investigation shows the fire on board the costa allegra is believed to be caused by a fuel leak on one of the diesel generators, eerily similar to what would start the fire on board the triumph one year. carnival said it proactively began investigating and found a big problem in a different type of fuel line. there had been nine, that's right, nine incidents associated with flexible fuel lines in just two years. on january 2nd, carnival issues a compliance order giving ships two months to address the problem to ensure a suitable spray shield is installed for all diesel engines using the

flexible fuel lines. mark jackson is varn val's chief engineer. >> after that internal study, the company came out with a new policy to against shield all the flanges an hoses below the deck plate. >> you didn't shield the one hose that wound up causing this tragedy. >> that hose was beneath the deck plates? h. it was believed the deck plates would act as that shield. in this case, it found that gap in the bilge plates and caused the fire. >> they began to start to try to put guards on these hoses because they were having problems with these hoses as a result of vibrations in the engines. they knew that was the problem and had the propensity for these hoses to break and have a hot spot on the engines. >> with the diesel generator still in need of over haul and

shield on some but not all the flexible hoses, triumph set sail for galveston, texas. >> we were totally in compliance with all the rules and regulations. we had our regulating bodies on board the vessel less than two weeks prior that certified the ship safe to sail. obviously, you learn things on a situation -- on an incident such as the triumph. >> three days later, off the coast of mexico, fire breaks out in diesel generator number 6, when fuel sprays from a flexible fuel line, a line that was less than six months old. passenger joe caton now believes carnival triumph crews set sail knows the potential was there. >> my wife and i were on the ship together and never would have gone on the ship knowing that like getting on an airplane knowing one of the two engines didn't work. we would have never got on the ship in that situation if they

had let us know that. >> while the company insists what happened was just an accident, the company has dedicated 3$300 million in a fleet-wide safety upgrade specifically focusing and detecting and preventeding any potential fire hazards in its engine rooms and point to the passengers suing to read the fine print on their ticket which means the cruise line never promised a safe trip. >> drew obviously is joining us. you say the carnal, at least for this lawsuit is actually telling passengers we didn't promise you a safe trip? >> yes. anderson, what carnival is saying, number one, this was an accident, not negligence on its part. secondly, yes, these passengers have no right to sue because carnival's attorney says when you buy your ticket, the ticket contract makes absolutely no guarantee for safe passage, a seaworthy vessel, adequate and wholesome food and sanitary and

safe living conditions. carnival, because of that, is trying to get the suit tossed. these passengers want to challenge that in court. if they get their chance, that will be in february. >> you sure don't see that disclaimer in the commercial. carnival is saying it did nothing wrong, it's ship is seaworthy but going for major changes to make sure it never happens again. >> major, 3$300 milli invted in carnival ships alone and almost all of it making sure spraying fuel doesn't start a fire and disable the ship, all changes made after the carnival triumph's infamous poop cruise where sprays fuel disable the ship and started a fire. >> thank you. coming up, where the students that know and love her want you to know about their friend, claire, so badly wounded in the latest school shooting. she was once one of these women,

late word tonight on a school shooting that leaves a young woman, claire davis, in a coma with a built wound to her head. a lot of our thoughts on her primary focus and not the young man that shot her. there is news on him the coroner ruling his death a suicide and we're not mentioning the name obviously because we don't believe in giving the gun mann publicity. as parents we're devastated by

what happened friday. we cannot begin to understand why he did what he did and also say they're praying for claire davis' full recovery. as annika discovers, they're not the only ones. >> reporter: good evening. a lot of people are rallying around claire davis who remains in critical condition. she is stable, according to hospital officials. you can see where the community has come out to set up this glowing tribute to claire and written beautiful messages and written the words, pray for claire, using white styrofoam cups on the side of arab pa show high school, and lit cancel and flowers and hoping all this energy they're sending her way will give claire strength. 17-year-old claire davis, victim of an unthinkable crime, now facing the ultimate fight. >> i have faith. she's a fighter. >> three days after the

shooting, davis remains hospitalized with severe head trauma, a tribute outside the school is growing for the girlfriends describe as a great athlete and student who loves horses. >> claire was that person you can always go to for help. she always had a bright smile on her face and always there for any. >> now, davis is the one in need. her family is asking for privacy and prayers. >> we love her to death and we're all praying for her. >> the community is responding. hundreds of students from high schools all across the area, gathering for this vigil all weekend. >> for claire! >> lifting can delays to the sky, shining light during a very dark time. lifting candles to the sky. >> for claire! >> for claire! >> reporter: people on social media also are writing about her, total strangers flooding facebook with well wishes and encouragement. on twitter, a campaign to get one direction, davis' favorite

band, to come visit with #ge with #get1dtoclaire. >> do you think she knows you're rooting for her? >> absolutely. she knows we're watching over her. >> reporter: and they want to do more for davis, at point-blank range shot because she happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. what are your prayers for claire? >> that she sees the light of day again and gets to walk with her friends and classmates in may. >> what is the latest on her condition, ana? >> reporter: again, stable but critical. i spoke with a trauma expert today, anderson, who tells me without knowing the specifics of claire's injury, a gunshot wound to the head is never good. in best case scenario, she has a very long road of rehabilitation ahead of her. i did also learn the fact that she's now stable some 72 hours

after the shooting, we're told that is a good sign, in terms of survival, but, of course, quality of life is still another issue, anderson. >> do we know anything more about the motive here? did claire know this shooter? was this random that he shot her? >> reporter: so it seems. we do know the motive, according to the sheriff, was revenge against a liner and the school's speech and debate coach. it just so happened claire was sitting next to the entrance when the shooter walked into the school and the sheriff was telling us she was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time. >> thank you. appreciate the update. susan hendricks is here with a "360" bulletin. >> two suspects still at large after a deadly carjacking at a shopping mall. the couple returned to their suv in the parking lot at the mall in north hills when they were confronted by two men. the 30-year-old husband was shot to death and wife not injured. anand man was skillkilled j

in a 91 page decision, a

federal judge in you saw struck down part of the state's law banning polygamy. it's a victory for the television show "sister wives." cody has 16 children between them. it is a fundamentalist off shoot of the mormon church. the family filed a lawsuit saying utah's ban con habitation violated their rights to privacy and religious freedom. the judge agreed ruling key parts of utah's poing ligmy ban are unconstitutional. big gammy will remain illegal. and remember jeffs serves a sentenlife sentence. and remember, author of this book was a witness. she was forced into a poll lygas marriage when she was just 19. she joins me now.

rebecca, what's your reaction to the court ruling? >> i'm disappointed in the fact people want to call this a first amendment issue. they are not talking about the real questions that need to be asked. i think it's an oversimplification of some very complex issues that open the door for a tremendous amount of abuse. >> when you say other issues, to you, what are the key issues here? >> the key issue here, they're trying to say this is a religious issue and it comes down to consent to make these girls think this is okay and something may have to do to live in a way to gain eternal salvation. this is a behavior issue. a lot of people saying in the name of religious freedom, do we have the right to do these kinds of things? it comes down to in the name of god, in the name of religion, are people allowed to violate the human rights of another

individual. i don't think any one of us agree with that. >> for those that don't know this, it was brought by the tlc show, "sister wives," the lawyers arguing this is a case about private relationships of consenting adults. you say this is not a free choice at all here. >> they're saying this is a freedom of religion situation. even on the sister wives show they're careful to keep their religion out of that. they don't want to reveal -- if they had that conversation it would reveal the amount of grooming that happens from birth for these young girls to go into a situation this is normal, this is right. pretty seen, even for kody brown. at what point is he 85 years old and looking at a 19-year-old girl saying, you know, god might tell me to marry her an that's my right and it's something she would need to do in order to gain her salvation. there's a tremendous amount of coercion and grooming and absolute control that goes on. they want to use the name of

religious freedom to deflect conversation from what the real issues are here. >> interesting you use that term grooming. you're saying young women brought up in these families are told from a very young age in order to attain salvation, in order to get to heaven, this is the kind of relationship you need to be in? >> they are definitely told that in the flds and the aub, which is the same group the sister wives are a part of, they were the same group up until the 1950s. they broke away because of a power struggle, not because of the atrocities going on within the group. the girls are taught from birth this is not only their right, it's something they have to do in order to be more blessed of god. it is part of their grooming process. people need to look at what needs to happen in order for polygamy to be perpetuated. this is a systematic grooming of women and children to keep them uneducated, they don't talk to

them about codependency or personal rights. they aren't talking to them about what equality is, because this system of life in polygamy is inherently inequal. >> what do you want to see happen? what do you want the state of utah to do? >> i would like to see the state of utah peel back the layers, don't stop at saying whether or not this is a question of consent. we have to look at what has to be in place in order for that consent to be valid. do they have the perspective to be able to give the educated choice? if polygamy is going to be decriminalized in utah, they need to make it -- make sure that they are somehow educating these young girls about their human rights, about what is equality, what is codependency. give them the education to make sure that they aren't going into a system blindly. i thought i was choosing, but, really, everything i consented to was what i was told to

consent to. i just think that utah needs to take a lot deeper look at this than they have in the past. >> remembbecca, great discussio have. i appreciate you being with us. >> thank you. we've been following the story of warren jeffs for years since she was a fugitive on the fbi's most wanted list and his influence on the small town of colora colorad colorado, a city in arizona and utah. not everybody is standing by warren jeffs. an exclusive look at the massive estate how close some are to him and how far others have fallen from his flock. >> reporter: this is the 18 acre estate built for fdls prophet, warren jeffs and his scores of wives, if and when he ever got out of prison. >> this is warren jeff's bedroom. >> this is his room. >> he had it attaching here and put together on the same

construction that he did for little girls in texas now serving a texas sentence for him. >> reporter: but the followers who would do anymore lig to him no longer belongs to him. it belongs to this man who used to be his bodyguard and received it in a settlement after his home was invaded by the church followers. colorado, city, arizona and hilldale, utah. >> there's never been a separation of church and state here. it would be very disingenuous for any to allege there was separation. >> reporter: jessup is giving information to the feds as they investigate charges that politicians and palestinians towns intimidate and harass any who isn't a member of jeff's polygamist church and take orders only from warren jeffs. >> even while he's in jail warren jeffs is give iing advic

how to run this city. constantly. >> reporter: filed by two mayors of colorado city could prove critical to the case. the letters now in custody of the texas department were sent to jeffs in his texas prison cell. they are marked private. in one passage the mayor, claimed along with other city leaders in the past that jeffs doesn't govern this town. we have much litigation going on to take down the city. i would like to get the sure word of the lord how far he wants us to go in this arguing. another letter known as the local police, they, too, followers of warren jeffs and accused of punish iing church members. jonathan r. has retired as police chief and heleman as acting chief. it would be helpful to get the

lord's sure word on who he wants to occupy that position. sam is the investigator and been on the trail for years. >> the two letters basically cringe the justice's case. they lock in the assertions in their lawsuit. >> reporter: have the mayors of these cities always been approved by the prophet? >> they have. but if they ever fail the approval of the prophet, he immediately ex xhup kates them, why you have a stack of resignations in city hall. indeed, the mayor was kicked out of the church for some kind of unfaithfulness. it's common knowledge many seek repentance from afar hoping to get back in. it's believed george allred did just that. joseph allred, has a common surname. >> reporter: hi. this is gary from cnn. is the mayor here?

>> he's not here now. >> reporter: he's not here? every time i come here he's not here. can you tell me when he'll be here. hello. >> hello? >> reporter: mayor? >> no. the mayor is not here right now. >> reporter: we then tried his house. >> mayor allred? >> reporter: no answer there. we fared no better with the police. can i ask you something really quick deputy? this time or the many times we tried to get answers from them. can i ask you a question, officer? can i ask you a question. the attorney that represents them tells us as far as he's concerned the letters have not been authenticated and the investigations unfounded. >> reporter: mr. jeffs, do your followers still consider you a prophet. >> reporter: his followers still remain fiercely loyal but there is confusion and tension here. do you still have faith in warren jeffs? >> i don't know what's happened.

>> the longer he remains in prison the more bewildered his followers get. many have left and others afraid to leave. but many are dedicated to warren jeffs and couldn't care less about the justice department investigation. anderson. >> interesting. new research suggesting multi vitamins half of americans take may not do anything to help you stay healthy. dr. sanjay gupta will join us for that. if $1 million is on your christmas list, you may be in luck.

tonight, concerns and questions about two types of products millions of americans use everyday to gain an edge in the battle to stay healthy. today, the fda will require companies to prove anti-bak ter y anti-bacterial soaps they wash with are safe made in not do better than soap and water and questions about multi vitamins, whether they have any benefit at

all. dr. sanjay gupta joins me now. let's start with the soaps and don't work better than regular soap and water and they may be harmful? >> i feel like i've been vindicated. heard you say this before. >> we talk about this all the time. interesting with regard to anti-bacterial soups, you're absolutely right. the fda is saying prove it. they're not saying for sure they don't have some benefit but there really is not enough evidence to say they had additional benefit over soap and water and potential harm is they could cause something known as ant anti-biotic resistance and these bad bacteria start to emerge. what they're saying to the manufacturers, prove it. the manufactures say we've been sending in evidence the last couple of years, the case is made and they're saying not so

fast. >> do you recommend people should not be using anti-b anti-bacterial soap and if so, what's the answer? i want to hear it again. >> this is a pretty significant statement. they're not saying the jury is completely decided on this. they're saying the case is made anti-baurl soap is any better than washing your hands with soap and water and singing happy birthday twice. >> i do now. >> due now and why i point out you're so healthy now. in places like cnn, they have the alcohol based sanitizers. >> what about those? >> those are actually -- this was not part of this new commencement by the fda. those still seem to have pretty good evidence. they should have greater than 60% alcohol content in them to be effective. they're pretty good at killing bacter bacteria. >> let's talk about the multi vitamins. released from the anales of

internal medicine the case is closed supplementing the diets of adults with vitamins has no clear benefit and might be harmful. no benefit from taking multi vitamins? >> this was a very strongly worded editorial. it's based on three very large studies, one of the studies had over 450,000 participants. it's a big study known as placebo control. they gave some people the multi vitamin and gave some people sugar pill. they compared them, rate of significant heart disease or second heart attack, cognitive and memory problems and found these multi vitamins did not provide any benefit. the language, let me read it to you because the editorial was so strongly worded. most supplements do not prevent chronic disease or death, their use is not justified and they should be avoided. pretty strong language there, anderson, from this particular

editorial. >> is this different than somebody taking a specific vitamin because their doctor says you're deficient in this vitamin? that's different. >> that is different. they didn't leave -- did leave an exception for vitamin d. a lot of people paying attention and gone to their doctor recently and told their vitamin d levels are low. there is still some evidence taking a vitamin d supplement could be beneficial but not for people otherwise well nourished, don't have vitamin deficiencies don't seem to benefit from a multi-vitamin. >> good advice. fascinating stuff. amazing because half of americans take multi-vitamins. on the other stories we're following, susan hendricks has a "360" bulletin. >> the house ethics committee is investigate i investigating senator radel over drug charges. he pleaded guilty to drug charges and announced he was
