courtroom. jeff glor in oslo, norway, with the very latest for us. good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you. he made it clear he wanted a show trial, a platform for his views. the court said that hearing today would be closed. in norway today, a nationwide moment of silence at midday, remembering the victims. all those who died during friday's horror. twin attacks we now know entered the planning stage all the way back in 2002. that from an exhaustive 1,500-page manifesto by anders breivik, whose methodical approach, spurred by hatred of immigrants and muslim extremism created culture warriors, growing beats on his property to allow purchases of large amounts

of fertilizer. white christian land, he called it. self proclaimed modern day knight did was massacre unarmed, innocent kids gathered at a picturesque campground retreat 20 miles northwest of oslo. dressed in a police uniform, he used bullets that explode on impact, increasing his carnage. police say he was able to fire for 90 agonizing minutes before swat teams arrived. hundreds of teenagers ran away, many hitting the water. >> i just started swimming. >> reporter: you started swimming? he was shooting? >> a man standing on the beach, aiming for me, shooting, but he didn't hit me. >> reporter: 90 minutes before that, the bombing in downtown oslo. government buildings that target here. breivik's lawyers say his client has admitted to the facts of the attacks, but doesn't believe he committed any crimes, breivik

saying what he did was necessary. norway remains in mourning today and on guard. memorial full of flowers continues growing, police barriers surround the blast sites, the norwegian army patroling the streets. breivik did lift porgs of his manifesto from something written by the unabomber. his manifesto was much longer, 1,500 pages. jeff glor, cbs news, oslo, norway. >> for americans, it's a reminder that sometimes the greatest terror may be closer to home. are we any safer now from homegrown terrorism? director of the institute for homeland security, jeff larsen joins us. >> good morning, chris. >> how safe are we in the united states from home-grown terrorism? can you protect people from this kind of thing? >> certain aspects, i think we're safer than we were on

9/11. that's because the fbi has done an incredible job penetrating certain groups. both the right extreme spectrum and on the left, whether you're talking about the ku klux klan or environmental groups that have done more over $300 million worth of damage here in america. the fbi has done a pretty good job penetrating the spin-off groups. the problem, chris, are the lone wolfs. you had mentioned the unabomber. he went on for nearly a decade. this lone wolf in norway was incredibly smart, even though he seems very disturbed mentally. he had beets on his farm. he a reason for buying fertilizer. very difficult to detect someone like that. >> the fbi, and you've mentioned some of the groups, dom eveesti terror groups in the united states. fbi says these groups are alive and well. they've identified a number of groups and individuals. who should we be most concerned about? >> the greatest concern we have -- i was executive director

of congressional commission that look looked at this recently. if a unabomber type individual who happened to be a microbiologist. if someone were to make a sophisticated biological weapon and attack a city. we wouldn't be talking about deaths in the 100 or 80, whatever this one was. you could see ten or 100 times more. that's our concern at the wmd commission and that's why we said america needs to be better prepared to respond. it's so difficult to detect lone wolf. you can't intercept their e-mail or go to the meetings like we can these groups. >> what, then, is being done to protect people against these lone wolfs? if you can't intercept phone calls or e-mails, how do you find out who these people are, where they are, what their motivations are? >> more informed citizen read. that's how the unabomber was

eventually detected was his brother turned him in. they're probably asking themselves this morning why they did not go to law enforcement. this individual was severely disturbed. i think that would have probably been the easiest way for him to be detected prior to this event. if someone who workd with him, knew him or in his family had gone to law enforcement. >> colonel larsen, thank you for taking the time. >> thank you, chris south florida here is rebecca. another day closer to a potential default. there is still no deal on raising the nation's debt ceiling. democrats and republicans are working on separate plans after a tense weekend of negotiations and cbs news congressional correspondent nancy cordes has the latest from capitol hill. good morning, nancy. >> reporter: good morning, rebecca. on friday, speaker boehner said he was abandoning talks from the white house to focus on what he thought could be a deal he could reach with congressional leaders. after a weekend of intense back and forth, we are now told that those talks and stalled, too.

senate majority leader harry reid confirmed the impasse saturday night. talks broke down over republicans continued insistence on short-term raise of the debt ceiling, which is something that president obama, leader pelosi and i have been clear we would not support. r reid and speaker boehner are finalizing dueling pieces of legislation. >> i would prefer a bipartisan approach to solve this problem. if that is not possible, i and the republican colleagues in the house are prepared to move forward on our own. >> first, by about $1 trillion in exchange for a trillion in spending cuts, getting the nation through about the next six months, at which point the debt ceiling could be raised again if congress identifies more cuts. the treasury secretary insists a short-term increase would inject too much uncertainty into a weak economy. >> the most important thing is

we can't adopt an approach that leaves the threat of default hanging over the country for another six months or so. that would be deeply irresponsible to do. >> reporter: reid's plan, on the other hand, would hike the debt ceiling through 2012 in exchange for $2.7 trillion in spending cuts, which sounds like a lot. but includes money not spent in iraq and afghanistan. which republicans are likely to argue are not true cuts. so, whose plan will prevail? boehner told his fellow house republicans, i think we can win this for the american people but that it's going to require some of you to make some sacrifices. if we stand together as a team, our leverage is maximized and they have to deal with us. that last comment was probably directed at the republican members who have said that they will not vote to raise the debt ceiling under any circumstances. speaker boehner will need their volts if he wants his legislation to win out in what is shaping up to be a partisan

showdown. rebecca? >> nancy cordes on capitol hill. thank you, nancy. if a deal does not happen, how does that affect most americans? joining us is roben farzad, senior writer for bloomberg news. what's the ripple effect on average americans if this thing doesn't happen? >> mostly psychological throughout the week. if people suddenly start perceiving that the unthinkable of, one, credit rating downgrade for the u.s. and, two, a technical default if we hit the august 2 debt ceiling happens, you'll see banks not wanting to make loans, car dealerships suddenly getting iffy about extending credit to you and everybody is going to feel it. >> all that uncertainty leads them to feel uncertain about taking greater risks. consumers are the lifeblood of this economy. how does the economy behave if all of a sudden consumers can't get the money to spend? >> it's already a credit starved economy. we know that.

that's the chief complaint, that banks aren't lending out there. you're giving banks another reason not to lend there. if they can't take for fwranted that the government is good for their obligations, if there's no visibility, everything stops. by the way, everything stops in the international economy because everything is ultimately linked to the u.s. dollar and the u.s. treasury bond. that's the risk-freeway. the benchmark the world over. >> how about everything stopping when it comes to the check that is people anticipate, 80 million americans, according to secretary treasury timny geithner. is that a legitimate concern? >> it is. you, as the treasury secretary, ultimately the guy who writes these checks, you will be a fork in the road come august 2nd if the an agreement isn't reached. do we pay pensioners, people who require our entitlement obligations or do we pay people who are crediting the u.s. government chiefly? you won't be able to do both unless there is an extension in the debt ceiling. >> they have to make a decision

without that extension and it might not be gd for a lot of -- >> it's a horrible decision to make if you have to choose between one or the other. imagine the political repercussions. it's heads, i win. tails, you lose. >> in terms of the market reaction to retirement savings, already we've seen bond yields at such lows. paradoxically, while america is messing around, they're lower than when we were running a surplus 10, 12 years ago. it shows you there isn't a direct relationship. if markets start to become more volatile, coming off an epic crash in 2008. certainly this is the worst time for the economy to feel that already when consumer sentiment is low and there's been a stock market recovery that's been somewhat of a boom to consumer confidence. >> you may actually see that recovery go away in this scenario? >> watch the next 24 to 72 hours

closely. >> we appreciate it. here is betny nguyen, filling in for jeff glor at our news desk. >> good morning, rebecca. good morning to you. congressman david wu could be under investigation by the house ethics committee, wu is accused of having an unwanted sexual encounter with a young woman, daughter of a campaign donor. wu adviser is saying the democratic lawmaker will not resign, but will not seek re-election nextier as well. house democratic leader nancy pelosi says she will ask the ethics committee to open an investigation into the allegations against wu. there's word this morning that the four-month nfl lockout is about to end. the players executive committee meets today in washington. after players and owners reportedly agreed on a new contract. training camps could begin opening by wednesday. an engine fire forced an american airlines jet to return to the dallas-ft. worth airport overnight. it landed safely, despite

this morning two teenagers are in an alaska hospital recovering from life-threatening injuries after a grizzly bear attack. danielle knottingham has the story. a group of seven teens on a survival course right by the national outdoor leadership school found themselves facing an all too real life and death situation that taxes all their newfound skills. deep in the alaskan wilderness north of anchorage in a mountain range the group was lined up to cross a river. suddenly a grizzly bear burst on to the scene attacking 17-year-old sam gottsiegen. >> i guess they came across this bear and startled it, and, you know, got him and knocked him down and bit him. >> reporter: he had suffered a bunk toured lung and head and chest wounds when the bear came back for more.

that's when joshua burg intervened. >> another boy came up and started kicking the bear, you know, just to help sam fight the bear off, and the bear then went away, so i don't know who that was, but i'm extremely grateful for that person. >> reporter: their recent training was a critical help. >> they had their priorities in order. as the weather got bad, they set up tents, and they focused in their attention on the students that were most injured. >> reporter: the two are in serious condition, but a relieved mindy knows it could have been much worse. >> after about an hour they called. they called from the hospital, and it was so sweet to hear his voice. >> reporter: danielle nottingham, cbs news. >> a brave man jumping in to save the other. >> a good thing they had the training they did when they went out to do what they had to do. coming up, dominique strauss-kahn's accuser in her

welcome back to "the early show" on a sunny monday. this morning a new round in the long-running amanda knox murder case. >> big news here. the college student from seattle returned to an italian courtroom this morning. she's hoping that a new report criticizing an italian dna expert's handling of the crime scene evidence will help overturn their murder conviction. we'll get you the very latest on today's hearing. we are looking at the tragic end to amy winehouse's life. she joins a sad select group of performers, jimmy hendricks, jim morrison, curt cobain all found dead at that very same age. much too young. we'll take a look at the highs and lows of her all too short career. first, we turn to the new

york city hotel maid who says dominique strauss-kahn sexually attacked her. had he is now speaking out for the first time and in the newsweek magazine interview she tells her story of the alleged encounter with the former head of the international monetary fund. >> reporter: the chambermaid who accused one of the world's most powerful men, dominique strauss-kahn of sexual assault and attempted rape now has a face and a name. she is 32 of guinney has broken her month-long silence saying because of strauss-kahn they call me a prostitute. i want him to go to jail. strauss-kahn was placed under house arrest last may, but when questions about her credibility and inconsistent testimony threatened to bring an end to this sensational case, prosecutors were forced to release him earlier this month. recent reports about her troubled past are clearly a motivation for her to end her silence. she admitted she lied during an asylum request and has a relationship with the convicted

drug dealer. strauss-kahn has pleaded not guilty on all counts, and his attorneys released this statement to cbs news this dealo saying, "the number of media events is exceeded only by the number of lies and misstatements she has made." joining us now is john solomon, news director of "newsweek" that got that first interview with dominique strauss-kahn's accuser. good morning to you, john. >> hi, rebecca. how are you? >> i'm doing well. let's get into this. why now do you think she would come forward with her story? >> i think there are two factors. i think the first one is that the relationships with the prosecutor has really deteriorated in the last few weeks as they have dug into her background and questioned her credibility, and then i think the second thing is she said very pointedly in the interview, she was tired of being sullied up in the tabloids being called a prostitute or a money digger and she wanted to correct the record of who she was. she put her name and face to her accusations. >> given that objective, you know, the prosecutor has said there were inaccuracies,

inconsistencies in her story. did you get the impression that she filled all of those inaccuracies in this interview and that that was her primary objective? >> she definitely went into great detail about the attack, and when she did, it was a very emotional moment. at one point i remember dropping down to her knees as she reenacted what went on. she was very specific. it tracks everything that our reporting had led to earlier, so it seemed like a very consistent story to us. at least regarding the attack. when you ask her about her background and other things, she's more reluctant to talk. >> speaking of the emotion, though, the writer you say here there were forced tears involved. did you get the impression that she was telling the truth, or that there were some theatrics at play as well in her discussion? >> you know, i think that's for others to decide. the thing that she noticed was she had to tell the story over and over again. i think she made a couple of comments just how many teams people have asked her to keep telling the same story over and over again. i think she was uncomfortable at times and she paused and you couldn't tell if she was about

to cry or not. when you get to the point of the attack, there's a moment of drama that felt real. >> what struck you the most then from the interaction? >> you know, this is -- the question that we asked early, on which is are you in this for the money or what would be justice for you? the palpable anger that i want the man to go to jail for what he did to me was an unforgettable and uncertain -- that was the uncertain message of her interview. >> there was no money involved here doing the interview with "newsweek." was there any reason that she came -- yol this is a big get. what reason do you believe she came to "newsweek" to tell her story? >> she and her lawyer said we had done a good job of following the facts. e.

amanda knox is back in court this morning. two dna experts are telling judges why they believe the dna evidence in the case is worthless. cbs news correspondent elizabeth palmer in london for the very latest on this. liz, good morning. >> good morning, chris. the defense this case has brought. they're trying to show that the quality of the police work in general has been shoddy and slip shod. in fact, it's not nearly reliable enough to convict a young woman of murder. >> reporter: this month amanda knox turned 24, celebrating her fourth birthday in a row in jail. as she entered the courtroom this morning, she and her family had reason to hope that by this time next year she'll be free. >> i mean, she's still locked up, and so that's horrible, and it's hard every day in prison, but i think she's feeling more hopeful, like all of us. she feels like she can breathe. that's what she described to us. she feels like the choke hold is

off of her and that there's definitely more hope. >> reporter: knox was convicted of the 2007 murder of her roommate, meredith kircher on circumstantial evidence. the appeal hearing is taking a fresh look at that evidence, especially knox's and kircher's dna found on the murder weapon, a knife. today an independent forensic report argues the sample on the knife was simply too small to be reliable. another piece of circumstantial evidence kircher's bra strap is also under question. the prosecution originally argued it had dna on it too from knox's boyfriend rafaelo who proved he and knox together were at the murder scene. not so says today's report, which points that the clasp was left at the crime scene for six weeks and eventually collected by police using dirty gloves. >> they talked about all the ways that you're supposed to collect evidence -- clean gloves, you don't pass it

around, and the fact that, you know, none of those procedures were followed is just amazing to me. dirty gloves were used. yeah. amazin amazing. >> reporter: in fact, a new forensic report maintains the italian police mishandled evidence or failed to follow proper procedure 54 times after the murder investigation began. >> one thing in particular, though, is giving the knox family some hope. it's a statistic. 15% of criminal cases on appeal are overturned. up next war veterans are lung trouble. they say their problems started in iraq or afghanistan. the pentagon doesn't buy it. we'll hear from vets and doctors about the air that our troops are breathing over there. this is "the early show" here on cbs. ♪

specialist. they kept saying i just had bronchitis, pneumonia. >> reporter: he went to vabder built university. he said boyd and dozens of other veterans he has examined suffered serious lung damage from their service in iraq. >> the soldiers that we have seen have permanent injury. >> reporter: boyd needed have pieces of both lungs removed. >> they found cysts in my lungs, holes in my lungs. it looked like they had been burned, like my lungs were scarred. >> reporter: and boyd isn't the only one. a soon to be published study obtained exclusively by cbs news found that veterans from rak and afghanistan are seven times more likely to report having lung problems than nondeployed vets. >> i think they're being exposed to toxic clouds that were never present in other wars. >> reporter: study author anthony summit says the lung woes are caused by a toxic mix of ingredients. waste sites filled with trash like this one shot by soldiers

in afghanistan and burn pits. >> that is what we live next to. >> reporter: many like this one north of baghdad were ignited with jet fuel. >> the jet fuel releases chemicals, including carcinogens. >> reporter: research has shown that even the dust is different and potentially toxic. >> inhaling dust from iraq is almost -- it's similar to inhaling lye or chlorox or bleach. >> and that's the -- >> just shock waves from the bomb can cause lung injury, but if that bomb also is causing the humvee or the truck to explode and vaporize, you inhale all that metal. rimplgt the department of defense strongly did hes putins research showing an increase in persistent lung problems. >> we're not seeing any elevation in chronic respiratory diseases. >> reporter: spokesman dr. greg says, in fact, iraq dust sent more toxic than any other dust. >> based on certain locations,

welcome back welcome back to the "early show" here on this monday morning. i'm chris wragge along with rebecca jarvis. erica hill off this morning. >> i hope everyone is enjoying the beginning of their week. just a few hours had ago the entire nation of norway stopped for a moment of silence to remember the victims of friday's massacre. >> this morning the man who admits to killing 93 people in those attacks saying he wanted to start a revolution to defend traditional christian values is in court behind closed doors. >> reporter: anders breivik was looking for another chance to spread his radical views around the world today. his lawyer said he wanted today's hearing in oslo

televised live, but the court said no, that it would be a closed hearing. a poignant moment of silence. the country's leaders lined together, norwegians watching and processing as chilling new information from anders breivik emerges. his manifesto lifted in part from writings of the unabomber ted kaczynski said he began planning his terror attacks all the way back in 2002. his actions spurred by a deep hatred of immigrants and muz lick extremism. a video he made called for a european revolution, the revival of a white christian land. his plan to accomplish that, his lawyer of innocents. kids gathered at a remote campground retreat on the tiny island 25 miles northwest of oslo. breivik dressed in a police uniform used expanding bullets, ammunition that explodes on impact increasing his carnage.

authorities have been on the defensive here acknowledging it took them 90 minutes before s.w.a.t. teams arrived. >> at first, i was afraid. and when i heard about the shooting at the island, i was still so sad. >> for them, last friday afternoon, the bombing in downtown oslo, a car bomb shredded the side of government buildings, blowing out window, sending workers scrambling for safety. breivik's lawyer said his client has acknowledged his actions were atrocious, but breivik also claims necessary. now norway, a placid country where violent crime is extraordinarily low, remains on guard. barrierses remain up around the blast sites, the army called in to control the streets. we also learned today that police in france visited the home of breivik's father, hoping to get a more complete explanation as to one man could

be responsible for so much. jeff glor, cbs news, norway. >> horrifying story. with jeff in norway, we now turn to betty nguyen filling in for jeff at the newsdesk with a check of the other headlines. >> good morning to you. republicans and democrats remain far apart in efforts to break the debt deadlock. the two parties could release separate fallback plans as early as today in case a compromise cannot be reached. congress has until august 2nd, one week from tomorrow, to reach a deal. world financial markets are uneasy that the u.s. might default on its debt. secretary of state hillary clinton tried to reassure hong kong investors today. >> we understand the stakes. we know how important this is for us and how important it is for you. >> the politic wrangling in washington is intense right now, but these kinds of debates have been a constant in our political

life. >> clinton said she expects a deal will be reached to avoid a default. democratic leader nancy pelosi will ask the house ethics committee today to open an investigation of congressman david wu. the seven-time oregon democrat is accused of having an unwanted sexual encounter with a young woman last year. an oregon newspaper says that wu does not plan to resign but will not seek re-election next year. in alaska four teens are hospitalized after being attacked by a grizzly bear. the young men were 20 miles north of anchorage yesterday taking part in a leadership course when the bear charged out of the woods. two of the teens were seriously injured. the parent of one of the victims reached them by phone. >> there was a sow bear, mother bear, and started it. the kid who was up front was the one that may have gotton worst of it. >> 17-year-old samuel gottsegen

was the worst injured. the boeing 777 landed safely and no one was hurt. bob schieffer has a preview of tonight's cbs evening news. >> after returning home from the war, this veteran was left depressed and on the verge of suicide until his pet bull puppy showed him life is worth living. we'll have that story tonight on the

this weather report this weather report sponsored by at&t. rethink possible. >> thanks so much. that's your latest weather. now here's chris and rebecca. >> marysol, thanks. there are nine serious contenders for the republican presidential nomination, although not all of them are actually running at this point. >> of those nine, who has the best shot of winning? joining us is someone who always has an opinion. that's why we have her here. an coulter. good to have you here this morning. let's talk about president obama right now. because he is vulnerable if you were to look at he's vulnerable with a lot of area, the economy first and foremost. any of the nine that's out there that has a legitimate shot at beating this president at this point? >> i tend to think at this point, the economy is so bad and

michael barrone had an article saying that the house of representatives elections tends to predict the presidential election, which would not bode well for president obama either. but unless he changes his policy, i don't see a major change in the economy. this is why i think republicans are so obsessed with getting the right candidate because i think they have a really good chance, despite the advantage of incumbency. >> but who has drummed up enough interest out there for the republican party that they can actually beat the incumbent? >> obviously, my love, chris christie. we're still waiting -- >> he's not official, yet. >> but so exciting when he announces. short of chris christie. it's probably going to be romney who is a good candidate, has raised a lot of money, is a serious candidate and is very good on the economy, which i think will be the biggest issue. but the reason people are so obsessed with all the other candidates and it will keep looking like a horse race, in my opinion, it will probably be romney if christie doesn't yump

in, republicans are desperate to get the right candidate and not getting the mistake of getting another mccain. >> but it is possible to get widespread republican support for a candidate like romney when look at what's happening to boehner in terms of trying to get everybody together on a debt deal. he's being perceived as the old guard and there's this new guard that's trying to take over. >> boehner has been surprisingly good. and they are pretty much coming together. these are members of congress who have to run for re-election and represent the interests that they were voted in to represent. but yes, i do think republicans will come together no matter how bitter the primary fight is because they just really want to get obama out and get the economy going again. >> go ahead. >> no, no. michele bachmann, what does she do for you? >> i love her. she's very articulate and bright and done a lot, yet i don't think you can run from the house. the last house member who became

president was james garfield and he had a lot of executive experience and as a colonel in the civil war. >> what do you make of the whole migraine story. >> valid? i hate to claim sexism so i'll claim conservative sexism. it does seem like kind of a minor story being that millions of americans suffer from migraines. they seem to let kennedy's drug use stay hidden. but she's a house member, she's fantastic. i like having her in the house. but it's a long shot because she's in the house. >> david wu, this representative who is accused of inappropriate conduct with a female. what do you think about that? he's saying that he is not stepping down, but he's also not running for re-election. should he step down? >> it seems like a very embarrassing story, though, oddly enough, the democrats might be happy to have this scandal so they can stop being

forced to give us their plan for the budget. can we just get off the budget? >> the anthony weiner scandal. do we have the picture of david wu? >> please have the picture. >> you can't help but wonder. >> now just before the campaign or after the campaign, a lot of his staff resigned and he was sending this to his staffers and sending out weird e-mails at some point. now i'm starting to wonder if that was to cover for the sexual harassment case that was coming or sexual assault case, i guess it is. >> thank you for coming in. good luck with you once again. ann coulter. a polygamist leader goes on trial for sexually abusing children. we'll talk to a woman who spent time in his compound. childhood in his compound and finally escaped. this is "the early show" here on cbs. in here, the planned combination of at&t and t-mobile would deliver our next generation mobile broadband experience to 55 million more americans, many in small towns and rural communities,

assaulting two children while leading a break-away sect of the mormon church. cbs news ben tracy has a look at jeffs' controversial case. >> reporter: it began with a raid nearly four years ago on this texas compound. more than 400 children were seized from their parents amid allegation that is girls as young as 14 were being forced into sex and marriage. >> a judge believed we did have significant evidence that abuse or neglect occurred. >> reporter: the compound was run by the flds, a radical off shoot head bid warren jeffs. followers called him the prophet. jeffs preached that polygamy was the key to heaven. he reportedly had at least 58 wives. the mormon church has condemned the sect. when jeffs were first charged with illegally arranging marriages between men and underaged girls, he fled and

became one of the ten most wanted fugitives until 2006. >> would i like to announce the arrest of the fbi's top ten most wanted fugitive warren steve jeffs. >> reporter: jeffs was tried in utah. >> count one, guilty beyond reasonable doubt. >> reporter: last july his conviction was overturned by utah supreme court because of faulty jury instructions. jeffs is now being held without bail in texas where seven other flds leaders have already been convicted. at the heart of each case are the beliefs of the church. as utah private investigator sam broward told cbs news program "48 hours." >> i know that the flds want to spout religion and want to make it about polygamy, but that's not it. it's about child abuse. it's on a scale that's never been seen before in this country. >> reporter: if convicted, jeffs faces life in prison. ben tracy, cbs news, los angeles. >> joining us now is flora jess off who escaped from the

polygamist sect when she was 17 years old. she's become an advocate for victims of child abuse. >> thank you for having me. >> this polygamy stendz to be extraordinarily private. what do you think the case is going to reveal about what really happens at flds? >> i think people are going to be shocked and outraged about the abuses that is going to come out in this trial. one of the things i want people to keep in mind is that while warren jeffs on trial and he is being prepared, the greater perpetrators of the crimes are still not charged, and that is the mothers of these children. >> how do you see the mothers as the greater perpetrators? plain that point to people. >> well, you couldn't have these crimes that is so institutionalized in this cult without the mothers handing their children over to these predators and they can trying warren jeffs and convicting

jeffs is great, and texas has done a good job on convicting several of these men, but there's still hundreds of these guys standing in the wings waiting to step into the shoes of these guys, and unless the mothers are prosecuted and they have consequences for handing their 11-year-olds over to these guys to be raped and abused, the cycle of abuse will never stop. these mothers must understand they will go to prison if they continue to allow this to happen to their children. >> do you see the mothers then in any way as victims? >> i see the mothers as part of the greater problem. they may have at one time been victimized by this same group. however, they're mothers now with their -- and it's their job to protect their children. they have failed to do that. they smilingly hand their children over to these guys, and, you know, america needs to look past the care bear colored dresses and see the evil behind them. >> do you think flds is paying

them for his defense? >> do i think that the flds is -- >> is paying for his defense? >> oh, absolutely. absolutely. the people in colorado city and hilldale have recently been told to sell their vehicles, get rid of all the -- any extra -- anything that they have and put the money towards his legal defense fund. >> it sounds like then if he is found guilty in your view, that alone isn't really going to change things in this community. >> you know, it really won't. it's great that he is going to trial. it's been a long time coming, but he has several brothers that are standing in the wings waiting to take over for him. while he will -- warren will continue to run the flds even from prison, he has got his brothers lined up to control things on the outside and maintain control of the people, but he will still be reveered as

a prophet. >> well, flora jessop, we appreciate your insight today. thank you. >> thank you so much. >> we'll be right back. this is "the early show" on cbs. ♪ have a better day [ male announcer ] only subway has a deal this flat-out delicious -- the new $3 flatbread breakfast combo.
