mexico. cbs news investigative correspondent sharyl attkisson joins us this morning from washington. it sounds beyond contradictory. >> reporter: it really is. you have to wonder when president obama speaks about more weapons confiscated, is it because atf left more weapons on the street in the first place? atf special agent john doddson risked his job to talk to us publicly about the tactic he says atf is using. letting guns walk mean atf watched and encouraged the sale of assault weapons and other weapons to criminals and left them on the street. the idea to see where they end up and take down a whole cartel. doddson objected saying you never let guns walk because they may be used it hurt and kill people along the way. atf and the justice department have denied that this ever happened when speak spoke to them. now let's hear a little bit of doddson's interview. >> i'm boots on the ground in

phoenix and telling you we have been doing it every day i've been here. tell me it didn't happen. tell me i didn't do the things you told me to do. tell me i didn't see the things that i saw, all right? tell me we weren't doing it. >> reporter: did you feel that aft was partly to blame for the escalating violence in mexico and on the border? >> yes, ma'am. i even asked them if they could see the correlation between the two. the more that our guys buy, the more violence we're having down there, do you think it's contributing factor. >> reporter: what was the answer? what did they say? >> fur inc. to make an omelet, you have to scramble some eggs. >> reporter: on december 14th, 2010, border patrol agent terry was gunned down in arizona and two of those weapons that atf alleged let walk a year before before stopping them showed up at that murder scene. now senator grassley is investigating and as we mentioned, the department of justice and atf won't agree to

interviews with us but told senator grassley none of it ever happened. >> they say it never happened. from what you just accounted for, some of those guns are still out there. did this ever actually work in helping take down a cartel? >> reporter: the end game they were hoping was, as we mentioned, taking down a whole cartel, no. the agents told us that never happened. in the end, they simply got some of the gun runners they could have arrested along the way, we're told. >> eye-opening. >> now to jeff glor at the news desk and check the other headlines making news this morning. jeff? we beagain here with a budget battle in wisconsin where the state capitol empty for the first time in 17 days. the last protesters left late last night after a judge ordered the building closed during nonbusiness hours. some did remain outside. governor scott walker's fight with senate democrats and unionized work he's goes on. he says unless the democrats return to vote on his budget plan layoff notices effective

improperly used campaign funds to hide his miss res hunters. a federal grand jury is wrapping up its investigation. >> reporter: cbs news has learned that while the hiring of craig had just recently become public he was actually brought on six weeks ago. craig left his post as president obama's council in january 2010. he was also one of president clinton's lawyers during the monica lewinsky scandal. experts say bringing him on the case is a sign edwards is worried about where this investigation is heading. >> that's one of the reasons that mr. craig has been brought in to assist in that effort to avoid indictment on the front end. >> reporter: edwards began his affair with hunter during his presidential run in the 2008 campaign and the two had a child together. >> the campaign goes on. >> reporter: two years later,

edwards' marriage to wife elizabeth crumbled. she died in december after a lengthy battle with breast cancer. >> it's his fall from grace was so swift and so complete there is absolutely no way that he can rehabilitate his image enough to be back involved in politics. >> reporter: but a tarnished image could be the least of edwards' problems. if he is indicted he could face a federal prison sentence. but sources close to the case say an indictment is not eminent at the moment. in fact, they say the justice department is now reviewing whether the allegations against edwards even if they were true would violate any laws. chris? >> jan, you're a lawyer. reading the tea leaves here, what do you make of mr. craig taking on this case? >> chris, i have seen greg craig in a lot of different cases over the years. they all have one thing in common -- he takes clients he believes in and cases he thinks he can win. he is very cautious and savvy. he just is not someone who is going to fight one of these uphill battles. so i would say, i mean, that is

a pretty good sign for john edwards. >> he also takes on the elitist of the elite. besides president, let's talk about the legal strat sphere with which this man operates. >> reporter: this could be one of greg craig' low profile cases. he got his start working for a legendary lawyer here in washington nicknamed the man to see. in some ways that is what greg craig has become, too. he represented gonzalez getting that boy back to cuba and john hinckley's defense and involved in the high profile defense of goldman sachs. a pretty heavy-hitter to say the least. >> if you're in trouble this is the guy you try to retain. jan, thank you. >> thanks. here is marysol castro with our first check of the weather on the morning. >> good morning, everyone. let's take a look at what you can expect for your first weekend in march. some light showers along the pacific northwest. light snow showers in the rockies. big swath of severe weather in the central plains.

angeles. >> joining us now from brigham young's campus in provo, utah are tom homo and carri jenkins. we know this has generated a whole lot of controversy for you the last couple of days. how did this all unfold? did brandon actually come out and commit to this? was he turned in by someone? how did you find out? >> it was brought to my attention by our university and, at that time, i had an opportunity to sit down with brandon and discuss the situation he was in, express my love to him and tried to wrap him up in my arms and say, let's go forward with this and get you back on track. >> but when you say you found out through the university, was the head coach who came to you, an anonymous e-mail, phone call? >> well, i had first heard through the head coach and then it came through the honor code, yes. >> this decision had to have been very difficult like we mentioned in the piece a second ago, you have a top five

basketball team, all of this nationwide attention right now. potential national championship. was it difficult for you and the school to suspend him like this? >> it was a difficult situation, but the consequences for similar violations of the honor code have occurred and we felt we did what was right. so very difficult thing to do, but the decision was right. >> and just to be clear, all of these student athletes and all of your students, they have the honor code presented to them before they enroll. they have to read it and then sign it, agree to it. i want to kind of get that out there so it's not like mr. davies didn't know the rules at brigham young university. do you think at any point he deserves a second chance? i know honesty is also a part of your honor code. he didn't lie about it. he didn't deny it. and he was quick to cop to it once you presented this to him. >> that is correct. brandon was very forthright in his discussion about the incident and we feel that he has

a second chance. we are doing all that we can to keep him in the fold and to make sure that he has access to the team and that he'll be able to come and achieve the dreams that he had before and he's excited to see the future and take care of business to be able to do the things necessary to get back in full team -- team work. >> i guess i sense from what you're saying there is a possibility, i think a lot of your basketball fans are probably wondering does this mean he is going to play again this season? is there a possibility he may come back this season or has that been off the table? >> no. part of the discipline was that he won't be able to represent the team this season. we're working on doing everything that we can to get him back on track for the future. >> carri, in listening to your athletic director there is sounds like you're making every effort to keep him in the school and the fold but talk he could be expelled from school altogether. where does that stand right now? is that something you're going

to push on the academicic side? there is a review taking place and with any student, our intent is for to have them graduate from the university and so we're certainly working with him. >> one last quick question. if he does elect to transfer, would you help facilitate that desire? would you speak highly of him if he chose i want to play somewhere else? >> yes. brandon davies is a good kid who is a great part of our team who has brought a lot of success to our team this year. as he goes forward with his life, he has decisions to make. we're doing everything we can. he wants to be part of his family, his support system in his life is teammates, his mother, his coaches, and we feel that this is the best place for him and we want to make sure that we do everything we can to keep him part of our byu family. >> thank you both very much for

high-kicking all-stars of mesquite high school were on top of the world. and four vivacious girls, the drill team was it. >> when you're at mesquite high school, that's the big time. >> reporter: and right at the center of it all was a firecracker named lisa stone. >> lisa had real high kicks. >> there she is. >> lisa was just very full of life. very energetic, publy person. just a lot of fun. >> reporter: 30 years later, the girls had a reunion. after the party, facebook kept the old gang together. >> well we talked on facebook every day. you know, and lisa loved to talk. so if she wasn't on facebook, she was chatting me on yahoo! or she was calling. or texting. >> reporter: until last summer. when lisa disappeared. >> i noticed i hadn't talked to her in about two weeks. i wasn't terribly concerned. i thought maybe she had lost her internet. >> reporter: a neighbor filed a missing person's report. police checked it out, but lisa's partner says that lisa

was away. the cops seemed to have more pressing cases, and there was no sign of a crime. so nothing happened. >> that just made us even more determined that we were not going to let this die. >> reporter: using facebook and a lot of nerve, these ladies have taken matters into their own hands. they've done searches. handouts. vigils. and even a billboard. >> we're just hoping and praying that someone will come forward. >> reporter: but most of all, they've kept the case alive. >> we won't rest until this is solved. one way or another. >> lisa stone's friends tina wiley and tammye markle are here with us this morning. good morning, ladies. do you have an operating theory as to what happened to her at this stage of the game? >> well, it's just was very strange that we had lots of activity from her on facebook, and then the next day she was gone. i mean there was just nothing there. so, you know, naturally when someone disappears like that,

you think that they've -- something has happened. they've been the victim of foul play of some kind. so that's what our theory is. >> where does the investigation stand now? and what type of assistance are you now getting? >> the p.d. is heavily involved in this investigation. i believe they are following every lead they have. there was a long period that went by before they became involved. about a month, at least, before we got them to reopen the case. so i feel like they lost some valuable time. but i think that we have done a lot of clues on facebook. that we have offered them. and i think they have found a lot of things themselves. >> how disappointed were you that it did take so long? because you did go to the police a lot of times with some legitimate information. maybe not as legitimate in their eyes, but for you knowing there was a problem. >> it was very frustrating. and we were scared. we were terrified that something bad had happened to her. and so i think that, you know, after we kept pushing and prodding them, and went to them

with our time line of information that we had gathered, you know, that's what finally made them open the case. >> at what point did you decide that we need to become investigators here and really help move this along? >> i think i did this from day one. as soon as i knew something was amiss. when i would try to call lisa her phone was disconnected. and i thought it was because of financial reasons. so, things started adding up. and then when i heard that the neighbor had turned in a missing person's report, and the police closed it after five days, immediately i just took action. >> you've been following, trailing i guess you want to say, the woman that lisa had been living with, and at one point you saw her disposing of some of lisa's belongings in a dumpster. >> right. >> while driving lisa's car. >> yes, right. >> while also she was lying to her about her whereabouts. >> yes, correct. >> did that then make a light bulb go off? >> that was huge. huge day. very devastating day. tammye and i were on the phone with joanie that day, and the

girlfriend had told the story that she was going to pick up lisa, and joanie followed her and followed her to the dumpster, while the three of us were on the phone, joanie was -- we all started crying. we knew when we saw those items, lisa's birth certificate. the late brother's death certificate. everything that meant anything to lisa was gone in the dumpster. >> do you ever worry about your own personal safety? >> oh, yes. most definitely we do. thankfully i live in a gated community. that gives me a little bit of piece of mind. but yes, we're dealing with some obviously people with no conscience. >> yeah. >> now that the police are a little more heavily involved, what's your role now? what are you continuing to do? >> well, we're continuing what we've done up to this point. we still got a facebook page. we started a nonprofit organization. for the love of lisa dot org and we've done billboards. we've got a park bench that was dedicated in lisa's honor in the mesquite area where we went to high school.

>> with treatment and the lot of of his family, he defeated cancer and has been unstoppable ever since. the key to success in this sport is the relationship between a musher and his team. >> every dog loves to run, and it's up for me to try to figure out how to channel that energy and get it to perform for thousands of miles. >> that means spending up to 18 hours a day, seven days a week caring for them, which includes cooking -- >> smells a little ripe, but these dogs all know it's coming. >> feeding. >> good eating right there. >> beef chicken kibble. some vitamins, menrinerals. all the stuff for a balanced diet. >> and cleaning up. >> it's all part of teamwork. >> with a kennel full of well fed and excited dogs, i took six pups for my inaugural run. >> good girl. want to go for a walk? >> this is my team right here. they look ready to run. i hope i don't fail as a must

beer. >> we're going out for the real deal now. do you have any pointers? >> you get ripped off the sled. you don't let go. >> i got it. >> i took those last words of wisdom from the champ and finally commanded the reigns of my very own sled. >> good work, boys. good work, girls. >> it was a rough start. but after a couple of runs, cow girl, larry, sharqi, princess, and pam -- >> wow, this is about as amazing as it gets. >> made me feel like a true eyelid rod contender. >> back country in alaska running with my team of dogs. holy cow. ♪ >> oh, my god.

that was one of the best thing i've ever done. see you again zoosh in the process i learned that racing dogs is not winning prizes. it's about the unbreakable bond between man and his true best friend. >> i'm never going to be rich in this sport, but i'm rich in what i do. i was brought on earth to raise dogs. i honestly believe that. that's what i was made to do. i just wanted to extend a big, big thank you to the alaska board of tourism for coordinating and accommodating us during our trip to fairbanks. i had an incredible experience, and i absolutely understand why sled dog racing is a state sport. >> you talk about being teamed up with the best of the best. i mean, as far as a world class athlete goes, i mean, to be able to do this and come back and endure -- >> in 2001 he gets diagnosed with cancer. he actually had to drop out of the race, and it took him six years before he finally won, and then he comes back with it four years in a row, and he is the only guy who has actually won

the yukon challenge and then the iditerod consecutively, and they're only two weeks apart. >> do you ask if he lives his life in perpetual layers? >> it's not even a question. the warmest it got was negative 12. the coldest is negative 41. it's so cold you have to plug your car in at night, otherwise your oil freezes. >> it must have been like living in new hampshire. probably like st. marks compared to what you are dealing with in alaska. >> my home feels super balmy. we're already open. >> what was it like for you -- those dogs are pretty powerful. it looked like lost a little bit? >> they're not super big. they look like little labs, but when they took off, that sled really pulls out in front of you, and you have to do a lot more actually driving the sled than you think. >> that was my next question. how much steering capability did you have? >> i didn't have a whole lot of steering capability, chris, but lance runs them pretty well. they've got little runners. you are pretty much riding

that -- i mean, it feels almost like a skateboard, more or less. >> have your fecks come back. >> the feet were a real problem, but luckily, i had a beard to protect. >> super fan, nice job. >> thanks. >> as always. here's erica. ever since her break-out role in the 2005 smash hit "wedding crashers" isla fisher has been one of the most sought after actresses. she now stars in "rango" who is in the rough and tumble town of dirt. she's a tough little lizard named bee. >> what's your name? >> bee. what can i say, my daddy said i looked like a bean. >> what are you saying? >> i enjoy a hardy good -- i'm not sure that a child would appreciate it. >> my daddy was a great man. >> spicy. >> ew. you're eating ashes. >> you carry his remains? >> his ashes. he loved to smoke. they never found the body.

>> i'm sure he had his reasons. >> isla fischer is with us in the studio this morning. >> good morning. >> i love the voice that you have for your character, bean. >> thank you. >> it's a little -- it's a mix of a number of different things, and you were given a tiny bit of direction on it, right? >> i kind of like think if clint eastwood and holly hunter were to have a love child, that it would be vocally bean. >> i think you kind of have it. this is a little bit of jiberrish it seems thrown in. >> there is. >> that's an added spice from me. >> that's a little sees. no, we had a great time creating the voices, but the director of the film, he was very specific about what sounds he wanted us all to have. >> i like it. it definitely makes you sit up, and you definitely take notice as you watch. one thing that's interesting is whenever you seem to talk to somebody about an animated film, we see the actor in a studio, headphones on, a microphone, and you have all these things imagined in your head. all the actors were in a room

together for this film acting out the movie. >> exactly. like bad -- we were on a stage for, i think, 21 days, and it was a big taeble with a plop on it. it's so much more organic and your voice has so much more chemistry and humanity because you're actually opposite a human being instead of isolated in a sound booth. >> was it hard to go back to that afterwards after you had this great experience? >> i think it will probably be hard to go back, yeah. it will be hard to go back. i'm actually doing an animated movie at the moment, and i'm back in, it and i'm abbing clam ated. it's not as much fun as bill pretending to be a snake and abigail pretending to be a critter, and johnny depp walking like a lizard, which is hilarious. it was a surreal experience. >> the story itself is pretty fun, too, and somewhat surreal, i would think. what drew you to it? >> i love the story.

i mean, a frustrated thespian lizard that looks dark and funky in a town. i was actually attracted to the material more for the experience of working with johnny depp and to do theater again. >> what is it about animated films that draws you in? is it the flexibility of the schedule, or is it something more? >> i think it's the surprise of seeing the movie for the first time. when you shoot a regular movie, obviously, you know how it's going to look. you're on set every day. an animated film, you sit in a darkened theater, and you have the same experience as a regular movie goer, and you're not watching a face on a 12 foot screen thinking, wow, is that really my nostril? instead you're thinking, wow, here's this cool lizard, and this is an amazing world that they created by these incredibly imagine native guys. >> it's really magic for the animation. >> yes, yes. >> i mean, what a talented group of people. they look so real. >> the skin is amazing on them.

>> yeah. >> did you get to have any input? you guys are all sitting there, and you're doing this much more like a theatrical production than a traditional animated movie. was there ever a point that i would say i imagine my character looks a little bit like this? >> no, but i did -- they did -- one of the animators did joke that i deserved an animated credit because of how i came in and complained. i didn't remember this. i complained that my lizard didn't have any breasts. i felt she should have breasts. i didn't remember. i was probably just making a flippant joke, but now bean -- >> there you go. >> i was involved. >> you made your mark then. >> i have. it's not very classy, but i did it. >> well, i'm sure there are plenty that that would disagree. probably all the men in the audience say thank you. >> the movie, again, is "rango" and you can catch it in movie theertsz starting today. now here's chris. >> thank you. as they say, we are going all in this morning with rick, executive chef of one of the las

vegas's hottest restaurants. rick will be part of the fifth annual vague yags uncorked coming up in may. this morning he is giving us a preview. great to see you here. >> chris, it's a pleasure. >> let's talk about this. what's going to be your role this year? >> i'm going to be doing better by the bay, which is the beach, mandalay bay, and i'm going to be serving moon doggies. >> i'm here to reveal to you. >> well, sustainable seafood is your thing, right? >> it certainly is. it's all about not actively participating in the extinction of the species. i have shrimp in here. fresh gulf shrimp. >> this is the moon and dog. this is something you came up with. >> i created this. we're making it now at my restaurant at mandalay bay. >> what are you putting in here. >> ginger, garlic, shallots, shrimp. a little lime zest. sugar. fish sauce. this is very salty. that's your salt. a little egg white.

this binds it together. we just kind of get this little thing rolling. it was about half pound of shrimp right there. >> is there a right time to end the grinding? >> when it looks a little rough. we don't want it to puree. we're going to mix in the skal yons and cilantro. this is a lot of complexity to this mixture. then i stuff it into a casing and make a hot dog out of, it or -- this is the puree. i'm going to put a little oil on my hands because that's going to have a dual purpose. one to lubricate your hand and you can make like a patty out of it as well. you put that right on the grill. cook that. you can put it on a bun. >> where did you come up with the name? >> i wanted to call it moon doggy, but my last name is moon, and we played around with it, and we're going to roll it out. here we go. top -- >> hot dog bun. >> put the moon doggy in there, and then some chipolte sauce.

we call this the dude. >> the dude? >> yeah. put a little dude in there. some slaw. >> you put chip on there too? >> give it a little crunch. that's a big bite, but, you know what, that's the way it is. i'm going to show you how to also while you're eating that, we're going to make a little honey chipolte sauce. not bad, right? it's worth the trip, for sure. here we go. we're going to be serving that on the beach, and we'll be having fun. you know, put your feet in the sand. the thing of it is all the chefs, all the -- >> a little spicy. >> oh. >> spicy hot. >> hot. >> sorry about that. >> aggressive bite. >> i like that about you. it's a little chipolte to balance it out. >> i'm sorry. i wasn't paying attention.

what are you making here? >> honey chipolte sauce. this is an alternative to the -- that's the chipolte dude. this is a little sweeter. in case that's too hot for you. smoked paprika. i have honey in there. a little dijon mustard. >> there are a bunch of different variations you can use. >> correct. >> you get ahold of me book, and these are all recipes out of "fish without a doubt." this is a little vinegar. cider vinegar. lime juice. we have sweetness. all right. some oil. >> this is a straight mix. bang. >> put the top on it. zip it up. you got yourself a squeeze bottle. >> honey sticks. >> let's talk about your kabobs here. >> principaling is almost here. you're going to throw some stuff on the grill. here we have a combination of sword fish, scallop, and shrimp, and three separate marinade.

>> all right. chipolte. garlic and anchovy, chili flakes and olive oil. marinate. you can put this in the zip lock bag, and lubricate with a little bit of oil and get them on a couple of mvrjs minutes each side. it's a preference. make whatever you like. >> absolutely. >> you recommend something to wash it down, correct? >> yeah. it's never too early for a good beer, you know? >> it is 8:49. in some spots, right? >> cheers. >> oh, right. that's good. >> i serve these moon doggies. >> really, really good. >> crank them out. >> good luck with everything. thanks. check out the restaurant. >> rick moon, and thank you so much. you can find these recipes on our website, early show.cbs

news.com. we will be right back. this is "the early show" here on cbs. i got to tell i really did burn the inside of my mouth. ,,,,,,,,,

there it is. ,,,,,,,,, the moonen doggie, with rick moonen right here. he's in from vegas. i thought we would could a group moonen doggie bite-in. >> yeah. >> hot dog at 9:00 a.m. >> thank you so much. >> there you go. >> makes me feel like i'm eating a healthy hot dog. >> okay. >> moonen doggie for everybody out there? >> hmm. >> mm-mmm. >> yummy noises. >> yes. >> rick, good stuff. >> enjoy it. >> enjoy your weekend, everyone. we will see you monday morning. your local news is next. >> have a great day.

,, i tore both my rotator cuffs. first i injured this shoulder, then this one, then this one two more times. playing with my kids was not an option. when a lot of doctors could have gone in and just said, "no, can't fix it." but he didn't give up. today i can throw my kids around in the pool. i can still coach rugby and share my love of the game. announcer: at sutter health, our story is you. for more stories, visit sutterhealth.org.
