government workers spent your money. they even made videos about spending your money. the deputy commissioner of the gsa is not going to talk. here he is, taking the fit in a dramatic exchange just in the past hour on capitol hill. >> i decline to answer based on my fifth amendment constitutional privilege. >> did you attend the conference in las vegas? >> i respectdly decline to answer based upon my fifth constitutional fridge. >> mr. neely, did you approve the funding for the 2010 western regional conference? >> mr. chairman, on the advice of my counsel, i respectfully decline to answer based upon my

fifth amendment constitutional privilege. >> just a few more. mr. neely, what was the original budget for that conference? >> mr. chairman, on the advice of my counsel, i respectfully decline to answer based upon my fifth amendment constitutional privilege. >> mr. neely, are you currently employed as an employee? >> mr. chairman, on advice of my counsel, i respectfully decline to answer based upon my constitutional fifth amendment privilege. >> are you prepared to answer any questions here today about your participation in the 2010 western regional conference. >> mr. chairman, i respectfully decline to answer any questions here based upon my fifth amendment constitutional privilege. >> you can see how that is going. we'll have much more.

the pentagon is saying more members of the military than initially reported may have played a part from alleged misconduct in colombia. so total here, may have been 21. it all allegedly happened before the president arrived in colombia and happened at a hotel he was not using. so you're talking 11 secret service agents and officers under investigation. they were sent home early. then these new details now, five members of the u.s. military who may have been involved, barbara starr reporting could be from the army and as many as five more members in addition to that. we're talking possibly 21 facing questions. and yesterday, the president did respond to the scandal.

>> if the press reports are confirmed then of course i'll be angry. my attitude with respect to the secret service personnel is no different than those sitting here. we're representing the people of united states. >> i want to bring in a member of the external advisory board and former homeland adviser to george w. bush. first, prostitutes. i know this is something folks in the intelligence world are made aware of and told to avoid. what do you know about that? >> it's not just prostitutes. alcohol. whenever you're traveling, especially in a security or intelligence job, you're briefed and remined to be very aware of your surroundings. you possess sensitive information that could put the president or protectees in jeopardy. the notion that this may have

been according to various reports a lot of alcohol involved, prostitutes, all of which are classic tools that are used by foreign intelligence services to collect information, this goes against over grain of their training against discipline, against the culture of the secret service. >> you mentioned the word culture. we're hearing questions about this culture from congressman darrel issa who heads the goth reform committee. is this an isolated incident, has it happened before? take a listen. >> to assume 11 people did something on a one-time basis is a little bit questionable. if one person has a personal failure, that's one thing. but for 11 people to violate the basic security premise tells us there's a problem larger. it would be regrettable if they close ranks rather than make changes.

>> do you think this is a regular thing or did it happen once? >> i travel around with secret service agents and i was the protectee. i had never experienced or seen anything in the sort. bad judgment or inappropriate behavior, none of that. and so i question -- this seems aberrant against anything i ever witnessed myself. but whenever the secret service finds that there's been some sort of breach or failure, they do a very comprehensive lessons learned and they incorporate those lessons into future training. so this is a very long and storied organization that has sort of trained its agents to do a very professional job. and i think you can't assume that a single incident is indicative of a larger problem. i think we have to learn what the facts are. >> being the protectee, the general public thinks of members of the secret service as this elite, protective, sort of the

palace guard. but i also know they're in these high stress environments. i mean, how would you characterize members of the secret service just from your perspective. >> once a year, the president would invite the ats and their families and children to the white house. it's a very tight organization. that's why i say to you, brooke, it seems against everything i ever witnessed on my own. to what the ethos of the organization is, very proud, very disciplined. i think this is an unfortunate aberration from their normal behavior. >> if, in fact, the allegation are true and we heard the president say i would absolutely be angry. >> despite his confession, he is

he's saying that's not true and he's claiming self-defense and they intend to prove it in court. he does not want to be found insane. he wants to sort of go with this self-defense justification. it's a very odd position, i think, that this case finds itself in because again, now you have a court finding him sane, finding him able to stand trial, yet what we're seeing in court as you just showed is very much in line with someone who may be suffering from mental disorder. >> he got on that island and told kids to come to him instead he was slaughtering these people.

saved norway from being taken over by multicultural forces. how can self-defense apply here period. >> i don't think it applies. it doesn't appear to apply when you think about the diagnosis of paranoid schizophrenia. i really wonder what's going to happen in a case like this. i almost feel like this is a case of first impression. it's something you don't really see. someone who refuses to acknowledge any sort of mental d d disorder yet is claiming self-defense based on his beliefs. >> what do they hope to gain from all those life details. >> i think they certainly hope to gain, brooke, a conviction in this case. they do not believe he was insane at the time of his actions. they tend to show this was a

you can't put a price tag on it. but salary.com tried to do that. they surveyed 800 moms, how m y many -- how much time they spent on all the different hats they wear, they would get $113,000. why not? they're cooks, they clean, they're chauffeurs and psychologists. if they work outside the home, it goes to $67,000. but you know what, it's priceless. >> i was about to hear my mom say she's a teacher. i could hear her saying brooke, my too many with you is priceless. there's a cnn.com article that talks about the facebook coo, she leaves work every day at 5:00. she didn't want to admit that at first. >> it's hard. you're talking about cheryl sandberg.

tall. we had bigger budgets and a bigger tolerance for failure and loss of life back in the '60s and early '70s than we have in this particular generation. the shuttle was built for that generation of warriors. i think the risks are higher than most people are willing to accept in 2012. and it leaves hering it's going to fly down the beach, then back around, over the kennedy space center visitor complex. then up the east coast, flying at about 15,000 feet all the way. you may get a look at it if you look outside and it's close enough to the coast. then it's going to fly over several landmarks as it makes its way into dulles air fort in washington. touchdown, probably around 10:30 tomorrow morning. >> i cannot wait to see those

north carolina. three shootings in three states in the last few months. beyond the headlines a disgruntled worker. experts say there's something at play which we normally associate with school yards. >> we don't address it, it's shrouded in shame and silence. >> but that silence can lead to violent consequences. a 2011 career builder study shows that 27% of u.s. workers have feld bullied in the work place. the targe . >> the targets don't believe there are good alternatives out there. >> that epidemic prompted the documentary that explores the mayhem behind the term going postal. >> in this environment where people are under so much pressure. it's only inevitable that some

of them are going to resort to violence. anticipate again, only a very small percentage will do that. but that helps us ill lute name the larger problem. >> he took mothers away from their children, he took fathers away from their children. on the other hand, i understand why he did it. >> it explores a pattern of workplace violence that's growing as the job market is shrinking. not all victims of workplace bullying resort to violence, but experts say there is often a link. nearly 600 people a year are victims of work place homicide. this woman says she was bullied in the workplace. but instead of getting mad, she got even, winning more than $1 million in a settle with her former employer. >> it was a gradual, continual, unrelenting diminuation of our

status as employees, our jobs, our careers. everything was meant to chip away at that so we would leave. >> when leaving isn't an pgs o, workers feel trapped. exployers should address the problem before it erupts into yet another crime scene. patricia yu, cnn, new york. >> it's called "murder by proxy -- how america went postal." it's hard to look at the mass murders at work including a 1 the 1 massacre at a post office. a disgruntled worker returned to work and shot four before he killed himself. >> on a memorial plaque, workers defaced the name of the senior supervisor with red ink. >> when i found out that chris carlisle had been shot, i was

sad to say, i was very happy. >> you would hate to say something like that, you wouldn't want to think that way because you don't want to wish anybody dead, especially over their job, but there was just an overwhelming sense of relief some of those people were gone. >> it's complicated. yes, i think it's terrible what he did. he killed five people. several more are physically disabled for the rest of their lives. he took mothers away from their children. he took fathers a i way from their children. on the other hand, i understand why he did it. >> anybody ever knew about abusiveness, it happened at that post office. 1987, the same managers allowed up in royal oak did the same thing in indianapolis, indiana. there was a repeat. only this time it was blood. >> murder by proxy, how america

went postal. thank you for joining me. when you put this film together, how shocked were you by the extent of bullying that you were documenting at the work place. how shocked were you? >> it got more shocking and more shocking. every time i watch this, it just sent a chill down my spine. >> we gave horrendous examples. perhaps hopefully rarity ending in bloodshed, but what other examples of workplace bully dog you notice? >> well, i actually prefer a different term. psychological violence. because i think it more accurately describes the behavior as well as the effect on the victims. >> so what kind of behavior? >> in many cases -- well, it's

undermining another person. for example, if there's more competition between workers, it's only natural that we will see more behavior like this. you know, if you think that somebody is taking your job or about to take your promotion, your response may be to try to undermine them. >> when i heard we were doing the segment, the fist thing i thought was who are these people we're talking about? to use your term, who are psychologically violent today, are these the bullies who were kids and now they've just grown up this way? >> well, maybe. i never trace traced their history to childhood. if you're in a position of power. >> what does it take to really push somebody over the edge? >> in some cases -- you just

mentioned thomas mcilvaine in that segment. he wasn't fired. he was suspended for more than a year. and it was an extension of bullying actually. what they did, if they fired him, he would have gotten unemployment, at least he would have been able to support himself. they suspended him so he could not get unemployment and he could not get another job. he was in that limbo for a year. he was broke and according to charlie withers when they found him, he had $1 left. >> were there warning signs in that case? and are there warning signs overall that those of us who do work, especially perhaps some of us in toxic environments should pay attention to? >> the most prevalent question we hear is why did it happen? there's not a single person in royal oak who doesn't know

exactly why it happened. when i interviewed meem, the most common thing i heard, when we came too work that morning and we saw police lines and we heard there was a shooting, we didn't know who it was because it could have been anybody. the treatment by management was so horrible that anyone could have snapped. >> pay attention. speak up. thank you so much. coming up next, government workers go to vegas, party on dime and make videos making fun of how they spent your cash. we're back in 60 seconds.

happen right now, capitol hill, watching government officials who set up the lavish l will have conference speaking out. they're looking into the scandal of the agency that's supposed to cut government race. the house oversight committee is

questioning administration officials about this 2010 conference that cost them $800,000. i want to bring in our senior congressional correspondent. there she is on capitol hill. i know she's been listening to every word of this hearing. you were saying before these members of the gsa, both current and former kwr not just falling on their swords, they were diving on their swords today. >> they're expressing outrage at their constituents. this is why people are furious at washington. spending $800,000 at a conference, that incloo colluded $75,000 for a bike kind of event. those kinds of things really make people mad. one of the key witnesses that the republicans hoped to talk to was a man by the name of jeff neely. he was the man who actually organized this 2010 conference that is really at the heart of this investigation. and he decided to invoke his fifth amendment right not to testify.

he did that and he was excused. but that did not stop the questioning about him and his conduct. specifically to the former gsa administrator. she is martha -- >> oh, did we lose her? we lost her. let's just listen in. this is chairman darrel issa. >> bonuses when the president said there was a pay freeze. >> i don't believe the pay freeze affected those bonuses. >> would the gentleman wield? >> as long as it doesn't cut into my time. >> i thought he said they were entitled, possibly to be granted. entitlement may be something you

want to follow up on. >> i didn't mean entitled. >> oh, i think you did mean entitled. when you see this widespread abuse of money and then you as the former administration say welke they were entitled to it, that's where there's frustration steaming out of our ears. it is totally unacceptable and for the president of the united states to look the american people in the eye and say we've got a pay freeze in place while you're getting bonuses and going on trips is totally unacceptable. >> martha johnson was the one talking about bonuses and using the word entitled to give or receive these bonuses. that's when issa said entitled is that really the word you meant? obviously, bottom line, there are fireworks on capitol hill and members of this oversight committee.

>> yeah, it doesn't name any individuals except for this guy here with the baseball cap on, it says he was arrest toe cattic. >> the other individuals in the images have not been named, but clearly the one wielding the gun made it subject to some kind of police investigation. >> what about the photographer, matthew, any indication he will pure sue anything? >> yes, it's not clear whether this photographer has lodged a formal complaint and that will be instrumental in decide whether the prosecutors in france decide to interview or arrest pippa middleton and the

other individuals in the car. the lawyers that i have spoken to suggest that it will be actually very difficult to prosecute pippa middleton. he did not too much the gun, it was not her gun, that didn't really matter under french law. it was just last month where seven individuals including four people were killed in a gunshot incident. it's a country that's also preparing for its presidential election this is week. >> certainly a significant city with the death of princess diiana. that's it for me, i'm brook baldwin here in atlanta.
