she is opening up about those turbulent years. she joins us "early" saturday morning, october 22nd, 2011. the sun is peaking through the clouds over new york city. we are here joining us on a saturday. welcome to "the early show." i'm rebecca jarvis. good morning. >> i'm russ mitchell. good morning on this beautiful saturday here. welcome back, my friend. >> welcome back to you, my friend. we had last week off and well rested and ready to rock is out today. >> after more than eight years of war costing the lives of more than 4,400 troops, president obama says u.s. troops in iraq will be home for the holidays but the decision does not come without risk. cbs news correspondent wyatt andrews is he is white house with the very latest. >> reporter: russ, good morning. the president this is both a success and a failure all at the same time. a success because after those eight years of war, u.s.

military involvement in iraq is over. but it's a failure because a complete withdrawal of those forces is not exactly what the white house or the pentagon had wanted. >> today, i can report that as promised, the rest of our troops in iraq will come home by the end of the year. after nearly nine years, america's war in iraq will be over. >> reporter: the war began with shock and awe. it toppled dictator saddam hussein and it cost $805 billion but took the lives of 4,500 u.s. troops and it left more than 39 thousand wounded. today, almost 39,000 troops are still in iraq and the question in negotiations was how many should stay to train iraqi security forces against potential terror plots, especially from iraq. the u.s. wanted those forces

immune from criminal prosecution but the prime minister could not agree and the troops are coming home. to republicans in congress, the withdrawal is a mistake that strengthens iran. senator john mccain called it a strategic victory for our enemies in the middle east especially the iranian regime but the president says the pullback fulfills a campaign promise in 2008 and his claim of success will become a campaign issue in 2012. >> the tide of war is receding. the draw down in iraq allowed us to refocus our fight against al qaeda and achieve major victories against this leadership, including osama bin laden. >> the draw down will mean 16,000 american aid workers and diplomats and private contractors will remain in iraq but the president has ordered the military home for the holidays. russ? >> wyatt andrews at the white house, thank you very much. joining us for a closer look is

retired general marks. good morning to you. >> good morning to you. >> from your vantage point, is leaving iraq at this point a good idea? >> it's not a good idea and an unfortunate decision that the president made on several levels. strategically it gives the initiative to the iranian regime tehran must be excited about the news the u.s. is going to withdrawal. the u.s. will still have a very robust presence in the region but we won't have boots on the ground in iraq so we will still be able to aassist with surveillance on the border between iran and iraq which i think is critical and able to share that intelligence with the iraqis. i would also suggest we are going to have a very strong military foreign presence and probably leave equipment behind for the iraqis and they will continue to, i hope, buy their equipment from us so we can maintain that type of

maintenance sport and training embedded capabilities. >> general, let me ask you, what is your immediate concern? you say it's not a good idea. immediately, what do you think the biggest problem would be? >> the biggest concern right now is the border between iraq and iran is as poorest as it can be. with the training of the iraqi forces by the u.s., that continues to be -- would continue to be a focus and would get attention. the concern that i have overall, russ, is that in order to grow a military, you have to start with a noncommissioned officer. that takes about 8 to 9 years. the iraqis are not there yet. they have pockets of capabilities in that military and that needs to continue to be focused on and to receive the type of training. >> you say from a military standpoint. in your mind, this doesn't make sense in your mind. why do you think the president made this decision? >> i think many would say he didn't have any choice, that maliki could not get his

government in line. what we pay our commander in chief to do is to represent the united states best interest and that needed to be a very aggressive diplomatic effort with baghdad and really work hard to ensure that we could maintain a longer relationship with the iraqis. they have now asked us to depart. they will continue to be our friends, i can guarantee you. they are not right now our allies. they have asked us to leave. we should have presence on the ground to continue to help them grow their military forces. they need to be able to shore that up. >> you touched on the u.s. role in the future even though the troops won't be there. how long do you think the u.s. will be involved in iraq in some way or another? >> i think it's probably forever. we will have a relationship with them that is very, very deep. unfortunately, we won't have a presence on the ground. we probably will have a presence in kuwait, pretty significant, and gives them an over the horizon capability to respond. i think the iraqis will be our friend but right now they are not acting like friends.

>> thank you, general. >> thank you, russ. we turn to libya where the ruling national transitional council plans to take the next step after the death of dictator moammar gadhafi. cbs news correspondent elizabeth palmer is in the libyan capital in tripoli and good morning to you, elizabeth. >> reporter: good morning. we have just heard in the last few moments that libya's interim prime minister says he will step down effective today. it is something he said he would do once the country was fully liberated. the death of gadhafi has allowed the transitional national council to declare that that is the case. in fact, they are going to have a formal ceremony to mark that tomorrow in benghazi. and elections are slated for some time next summer but to get from there to here will be daunting. first start, the country is a

wash in weapons. they fought bravely, if chaotically to overthrow gadhafi but working as libya's interim force and some act like gangs above the law. they won't want to give that up without a fight, especially to civilian politicians they might not agree with. in libya's favor it has a population that is committed to delivering a modern muslim democracy. thank god gadhafi was captured and killed. god willing, we will begin a new era of freedom after 42 years of oppression. late into last night, libyans partied. as long as he was alive, gadhafi cast a shadow over their dreams of stability and more freedom. now he is definitely dead and they can stop worrying. the libyan government is still worrying about it, though. as far as we know, gadhafi still

hasn't been buried. the government doesn't want any grave to become kind of a shrine or a rallying point for violent insurgency so that is a tricky political decision. as far as we know, they are still waiting. >> a lot left open there. elizabeth palmer in libya, thank you for joining us. for more on what is next for libya and other dictators in the middle east we turn to jamie rubin. great to have you with us. >> nice to be here. >> liz raised this in her report. it's easy to unite around a common enemy but much harder to unite around a common objective. are they going to be able to create a new democracy that is stable in libya now? >> not quickly and not easily. but i think the momentum is certainly on the right side. there has been a lot of goodwill in the international community. people in the region urging the success of this government. they are going to get help from abroad. they have got oil resources on

their side. so the momentum is good. unfortunately, for four decades, they have lived under this dictatorship and there are no institutions, no civil society, no rule of law, none of the things that we in the west are used to that we call government exists there. it's a tribal structure and if those tribes can find a way to share power, things can move forward successfully. >> you raised the point about the tribal structure and libya, there are more tribes in libya than really any other place in the arab world. for everything he did, gadhafi was able to keep some level of decorum among these tribes. what does it take for the next round of leadership to do that and can they? >> we don't know whether they will succeed in having the kind of stable democratic government that the world would like to see. they certainly have started off reasonably well. they gathered together all of their opposition forces into some form of unified

transadditional council. they fought a war together. they had, as you said, a single objective of getting rid of gadhafi. that's easier than building. so it's going to be difficult and the west is going to have to provide help if we want it to succeed. their neighbors will have to provide help if they want it to succeed. we don't want to see it devolve into a situation one part of the country is fighting against tribes from another tribe or different tribes are fighting or islamic elements get the upper hand. i feel optimistic about libya because of the goodwill that exists in the world, the success of their revolution, the way in which the world united behind them. but it's going to be a really, really long road for them to get to a stable government. >> i want to quickly get to the neighborhood because we have already seen images coming our syria with the people of syria likening their leader assad to gadhafi waving the libya flag in their town suggesting perhaps we will see another overthrow.

do you think it's likely in both there, as well as in yemen? >> syria and libya are very different places. the world is not likely to unite around the idea of supporting the syrian opposition because china and russia are determined to be on the side of the dictator there, mr. assad. the outside world is divided and the internal situation is far, far digfferent. i think what we are likely to see in syria is a long term low level conflict where people are fighting in the streets, where brave young syrians are prepared to fight for their freedom but the outside world has not figured out a way to help them. >> we will continue this conversation undoubtedly. jamie rubin, thank you for joining us. time now to turn to campaign 2012. the republican presidential candidates battling to challenge president obama. joining us now are robert zimmerman democratic strategist and ed rollins, republican

strategist and former campaign manager for michele bachmann. good morning. >> good morning. >> talk about national security in a moment. let's talk about michele bachmann the latest from her campaign. word her entire new hampshire has quit and her campaign manager ed rollins quit. look who is here today. is her campaign becoming unglued? >> i think she has the focus in iowa. if she doesn't win there, she has a ticket out. the campaign narrow down to raising money which romney and perry have and the others have to win somewhere. >> you leave, the staff quits. what does that say to folks who supporter? >> i think plenty of supporters out there. hers and my difference had nothing whether she can or cannot win. iowa has to be her focus. >> president obama on his watch, osama bin laden has been killed and gadhafi now killed and troops coming home from iraq. as far as campaign 2012 is concerned and the issue of

national security, can the republicans touch him on this? >> not only can they not touch him, if you watch their attacks on him, the comments, for example, from mitt romney, the obama campaign directly engaged and responded to the attacks are so partisan and so shrill it is out of the mainstream of the american people. president obama implemented the bush withdrawal program. when this plan was announced by the bush administration you didn't here mitt romney or john mccain or any of the candidates talk about this premature and wait until the generals have to say and they accepted it. now obama but the successful in place they are turning around in a partisan way that undermines the men and women in battle. >> ed, do you think? >> unless something happens the eight or nine months we withdrawal. more this election is about the economy. clearly the foreign policy is using a american issue not a

republican or democrat issue. the candidates have to attempt to draw the line. i think we ought to applaud our american troops who have done an extraordinary job there. we weren't welcome any more there. i think it was time for us to leave. >> herman cain the game with the ball and seems to be the game of kill the man with the ball. are his 15 minutes up? >> not right now. i think he has the ability to continue on even though he won't have the resources. i don't believe he'll be the nominee of the republican party. >> herman cain is making mitt romney look consistent. taking both sides of the issue of negotiating with terrorists and redefined his tax plan and taken both sides of the abortion battle. he is just out there selling books and building up speaking fees. >> ask you about the debate but we are out of time so more debates to come. >> unfortunately, many, many more. >> thank you both very much. now for the rest of this morning's headlines, let's go over to cbs news correspondent and one news anchor and our good

pal, betty nguyen. >> all of those. good morning, russ and to you. ohio is cracking down on private ownership of exotic wild animals. this after police shot and killed about 50 of them last week in zanesville. their owner released them from their cages and took his own life. the governor john kasich signed temporary measures and permanent ones are being drafted. berkeley, california, residents are on edge this morning following three more aftershocks just after midnight. two stronger quakes hit the area thursday. there are no reports of damage or injuries from any of the five tremors. ironically, this is the 22nd anniversary of a earthquake in the bay area during the world series that killed 63 people. a search for a missing baby girl in kansas city, missouri is again focusing on the family home. police say an fbi cadaver dog consented a dead person there earlier this week.

there recently is disturbed soil in the backyard but attorneys for lisa irwin's parents say there could be other reasons for the dog's reaction and that the parents are cooperating with police. the baby was first reported missing two and a half weeks ago. on wall street, the market has staged a major comeback. the dow rose 267 points yesterday, closing just over 11,000800. it has gained nearly 11% since october 3rd when itt sank to it lowest point of the year. strong corporate earnings and a sense that europe may solve its debt crisis has given investors new confidence. listen up. britain's prince harry apparently is smitten with a california girl. he is here in the states for military training and during time off he met a 26-year-old cocktail waitress named jessica donaldson. it's reported she looks a lot like like harry's sister-in-law,

make it a great saturday. a new biography of the late steve jobs is about to hit the stands and it offers unique insight into the life of the former apple ceo. "60 minutes" steve kroft saturday down recently with the author walter isaacsson and talked about the jobs' controversial decision to delay treatment to treat his cancer. >> they do a biopsy and say this is good. slow growing 5% of pancreatic cancer that can be treated. but steve jobs goes to spiritualists and trying to do

it make role biotically and he doesn't get it operated on. >> why doesn't he get it operated on immediately? >> i asked him that. he said i didn't want my body to be open. i didn't want to be violated in that way. he is regretful about it. his wife is a very solid, decent person but says, the body is there to serve the spirit. you should get this operated on. soon everybody is telling him quit trying to treat with these roots and vegetables and things opinion just get operated on but he does it nine months later. >> too late? >> well, one assumes it's too late because by the time they operate had him, they notice that it has spread to the tissues around the pancreas. >> how could such a smart man do such a stupid thing? >> i think he kind of felt if you ignore something, if you don't want something to exist, you can have magical thinking. it had worked for him had the past. he regret it. >> hors to discuss jobs' choices

is dr. ready. you watched this. it's shocking to hear he didn't get it treated. i now it's hard to discuss because you everything about steve jobs going into it but do you think things may have got different had he had it treated earlier? >> it's important to discuss the treatment he had. had a very different pancreatic cancer. adenoid cancer is seven months overall. but like steve jobs type of cancer, they can live for years. it's a slow growing cancer. i don't know what his images showed at the time this was diagnosed but i can say on a statistical basis most of our patients even when be think we are taking them to surgery for a cure, they recur.

most of the patients have this cancer come back. having said that surgery is the only option for cure if it hasn't spread. >> you're saying he could walk away cancer-free had he done this perhaps but it could have come back as well? >> exactly. and also it's -- this is a cancer because it's so slow growing often we take them to surgery even when it has spread but it's not for curative intent but to take out as much cancer as possible. i don't know in fin would know if his cancer was curative. most of our patients have the cancer at a microscopic level at another place and probably would have come back. >> as a doctor, you what i do this about alternative methods? because many people do, when they get that prognosis, they do pursue them. >> right. so as an oncologist, i studied nutrition as an undergrad and i think it's important for prevention. cancer oncology treatment is

based on data and evidence. no data whatsoever to support the use of nutrition alternative therapies or vitamins to treat cancer. it just doesn't help. we wish it could. it doesn't. in fact, we have a couple of studies to show that iv vitamins can make patients with cancer do worse? >> really? doctor, we appreciate it. >> my pleasure to be here. thank you so much. >> you can steve kroft's interview with steve jobs biographer on "60 minutes" sunday night on cbs. we will be right back.

russ, what do you think about your st. louis cards these days? >> 1-1. >> tied with the texas rangers in the world series. the big news out of st. louis is this guy, albert pujols. arguably, he is the best player in the league. the guy is fantastic. he has been with the cardinals his entire career. it is payday. he is up for a big raise. the big question can st. louis afford him? is he going somewhere else? he is really popular in st. louis and does a a lot of things for the community. >> you love this guy? >> he's a great guy. a great guy. we will talk to,,,, i will awaken you with a song.

lon? >> once my hometown team is out of it, i guess between the two, i'm probably going to go more for texas. >> really? >> right! >> come on! >> i'm on st. louis side. we're good. >> st. louis has won ten world series in their history. second only to the yankees. >> and texas has won how many? zero. >> this is their second consecutive year being in the world series. >> well, look. the second time in the world series. they went last year and couldn't win it this year, i think they are going to do it this time. >> what makes you think so? >> because i just have this knowledge and this faith that it's going to happen! >> not great pitching, not great hitting. >> well, no. all that too but i believe it's going to happen. why is everyone laughing at that? >> i remember like our fantasy job segment, you were actually playing baseball. >> bob gibson and tim mccarver, yes. >> and russ mitchell all out there on the field together. >> maybe you can get in on the

world series action. >> yeah. >> there is still time, right? >> or not. ,,,,,,,,

♪ what a beautiful day in new york city. looks fantastic. a look at central park, the upper west side of manhattan off in the distance. new jersey. those mountains. that is the rocky mountains, right? >> that's exactly it. i think it might be russia actually. you never know. >> you never know. welcome back to "the early show." i'm russ mitchell. >> i'm rebecca jarvis. in a moment, st. louis braces for heartbreaks as one of its greatest citizens, baseball great, albert pujols maybe about to leave. >> say it ain't so. the former ceo of citigroup stops by and talking about his growing anger at big banks. dollars for doctors. are drug companies influencing doctors to push their pills? it's all coming up on our "healthwatch."

we begin with what they are calling the st. louis blues. the past 11 years, cardinals slugger albert pujols has hit his way into the record books and also become beloved in his adopted city for his charitable work off the diamond. his team is back in the world series playing some team called the texas rangers. but st. louis fans are worried his days as a cardinal may be about to end. >> that one is hit high and deep into left field by the rookie pujols. >> reporter: since entering the majors in 2001, albert pujols has dominated baseball. >> home run! >> reporter: accomplish be something no player in history has ever achieved. batting over .300 with more than 30 home runs and a hundred rbis in each of the first ten years of his career. even more impressive may be pujols, the man, as a "60 minutes" correspondent bob simon found out at the he caught up with the star at his annual at

for downs syndrome. >> tuxedo, nice dress. like they want to go all night until the next day and don't want the day to be over. >> reporter: and neither did albert. every kid wanted to dance with albert and he never said no. by the end of the evening, he looked like he had just finished a double-header in august. >> must be the highlight of the year for them? >> and for me too. any time i'm around them, i enjoy it and have a great time. >> albert! >> reporter: fans have reveled in watching pujols the player carry not just the cardinals but the entire city on his back. as the world series shifts from st. louis to texas, pujols may have played his last game in the city that can't live without him. the 31-year-old future hall of famer has asked for a ten-year contract worth at least $230 million. and the smaller market cards might not be able to hold off the big market teams desperate for his services.

>> go, cardinals! >> reporter: fans in the city famous for its gateway arch hope that pujols takes less to stay in st. louis and take comfort in knowing pujols will bend over backwards for those he cares about. once again, bob simon. >> reporter: albert quietly left houston's ballpark and went to the texas children hospital. he heard a 13-year-old boy was there who couldn't make it to the game because he had a malignant brain tumor. albert came with a gift for brandon johnson. it was the bat that had what kind that 400th homer five nights earlier. he signed it, said a prayer, stayed for an hour. brandon is still with us and the bat is still with him. he hangs onto it the way he hangs on to life. because of his surgery, it's not easy for him to express what that visit and that bat mean to him. do you remember what you felt when he walked into the door? >> i got real happy.

>> reporter: albert did not come to see brandon with a gaggle of photographers. it was not a publicity stunt. albert pujols has shown us many things since he came to america, becoming a great baseball player is only one of them. >> for more on albert pujols, let's turn to brian burnwell who with the st. louis dispatch. he is in arlington where betty guyen's rangers take on the cardinals tonight in game three of the world series. the world series is tied at one game apiece. in your mind, where does albert pujols rank in terms of the best all-time players? >> you know what? tony la russa, you always ask him this question and he has a really good response. he says you know what? i don't know if you can qualify and say that he number one or number two or number three, but the fact that he is in the conversation seems to be pretty good. >> full disclosure from folks who didn't know this. i'm from st. louis and have a

take on this as well. brian, how do you think the city of st. louis would react if pujols were to leave town? >> there are not enough bridges or buildings for people to jump off of, quite frankly. this is a big deal. this is a really big deal if he were to leave. >> i know at one time, having grown up there, it's always a small market baseball bat. they don't have the money as the big markets. in the old days the brewery owned the team and give the player brewery distributorship if they played for the cardinals. do you think this is a done deal if that he will stay in st. louis? >> i don't know. when people ask me, to get the answer you need to know a couple of things. number one, does albert pujols want to be considered the highest paid player in baseball? he has never said that. a lot of people have assumed that but he has never said it. the other thing is, well, if he doesn't want to do that, then is it more important to him to one of those rare franchise icons

who was associated throughout his entire career in one place. i don't know whether he can get both in st. louis but i do believe he ought to be able to get both. >> brian, have any other teams expressed interest at this point in pujols? >> well, you know what? technically, they can't do that. you have to assume the good news for st. louis most of the big market teams like the yankees, the red sox, you know, they are not going to be in this bidding. but the wild cards in this are teams like chicago, the chicago cubs, and the washington senators. the senators have shown in recent years they are not afraid to spend big money and you never know what theo epstein is going to do now that he is running the chicago cubs. that, i think, would be the ultimate insult to st. louis for albert to end up in a cubs uniform because, as you know, because you're from st. louis, there is only one thing that the cardinals hate more than losing and i think it's losing to the cubs. >> i think you're right. brian burwell, my friend, thank

you so much. appreciate your joining us. talk to you soon. >> my pleasure. >> 24 minutes before the hour, lonnie quinn is here with another check of the weather. >> i got to tell you after watching that piece i think i have a new major league baseball player who is my favorite. that guy comes across great. a great individual and great ballplayer. talk about great weather. a great fall pattern out there. calm and seasonable conditions for almost the entire u.s. of a. nice fall weekend. talk about where the nice fall colors are. portions of new england and adirondacks, around the great lakes. peak foliage viewing this weekend. if you look at the national satellite and radar picture, it's pretty quiet out there. this is what we expect this time of the year. i talk about seasonable the plaintiffs. northeast 60 degrees and great lakes 50s and gulf coast temperatures in the upper 70s. fall-like weather because we are in, you got it, the fall!

of the things driving these "occupy wall street" protests that have been happening all over new york city. do you think the ankle remember towards big banks like citigroup, for example, is merited? >> well, what i really think is that it's time to stop pointing fingers about the past. i think there's plenty of responsibility to go around in what created the problems, especially in the housing market and the mortgage market from regulations, from government, from government agencies, and the financial industry. but i think that we want to get our country moving again and we want to create jobs. we got to start getting people to work together and we will not be able to build this country again unless we get the financial industry to be partners with the government, with all of the different constituencies and work towards getting our country moving. if we are so possessed with

thinking about the past, and pointing fingers, we will not get moving and that is bad. >> we are almost out of time here. what do you think about breaking up banking practices that are, for example, prioritiary trading from commercial bankses can't make deposits with common people and then on the alternative side, take risks in the stock market? >> listen. i was brought up for america to be a leader. and our country had the leading financial institutions in the world. everybody is copying our model of capitalism. the communist countries are capitalists. i think it's a shame to get the financial industry where we can't be the leaders in the future. we should be. that's what america is all about. >> i would love to talk to you further about this but we are out of time. sandy weill, thank you for being with us. >> thanks very much, rebecca. outrage over doctors getting money from drug companies, we will take a look at whether their cozy relationship compromises your medical care. you're watching "the early show" on cbs. i thought it was crazy feeding in the fall.

in this mornings's healthwatch, dollars for docs. according to an organization pro publica, drug companies are having doctors more than $760 million. that begs the question is your health care being compromised? joining us is a doctor of the consumer reports health rating center. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> overall, do you think these potential financial ties between drug companies and doctors impacts a negative way the kind of medical care we receive? absolutely. money works. doctors are human. doctors who take money from drug companies are more likely to give you an expensive drug or a drug you may not need. >> i'm guessing you would be reluctant to advise someone to go to a doctor who has this type of relationship? i would. the issue is who are you working for? me as the patient or the drug company you're taking money from? >> let's talk about a poll by consumerreports. nearly 72% of those you talk to believe that pharmaceutical companies have too much influence on the drugs that

doctors prescribe. so given this statistic and given what you know, in some cases are doctors not giving patients cheaper alternatives in some cases? >> absolutely. we know from our studies and others that there are still many opportunities for doctors to prescribe generic drugs and they are not doing it and one of the republicans is these financial relationships. >> it's important for patients as you say to keep an eye on what their doctor is doing. you say when people go to the doctor, they should look for three things and then be kind of alerted if they see these things. first of all, they see drug reps in the office. >> that's right. the last time i was in a medical office three drug representatives in the waiting room. i haven't been back. >> free samples. watch out for a lot of those thrown you on? >> that's right. people think a free sample is a good thing. well, the expensive precipitation that follows it, if it works is not a good thing. it can be, again, much more expensive drug than you may need. >> you also say look for

marketing materials. >> that's right. doctors who have relationships with drug companies will often have promotional materials, will have information that they give patients that come from the drug company. you should be weary of that. >> let's say this is a doctor you've been going for a long time and just notice is these things. what questions should you ask? >> first of all, you shouldn't hesitate to ask do you have a relationship with a drug company? is it your policy and your practice to take money from drug companies? more and more, i think, it's good for consumers to ask those kinds of questions and what you should especially ask, though, what are my other options? what are my other options? >> people will see this and start asking those questions, i'm sure. thank you. appreciate it. the bittersweet wedding of cate edwards. today her father, former presidential candidate, john edwards, walks her down the aisle. you're watching "the early show" on cbs. okay, so you mean you just ignore the environment. actually, it's cleaner.

beginning. there will be a ceremony tomorrow in benghazi. then the country has to decide who it wants to represent it, because elections are supposed to be coming up by next summer. the first priority, though, has got to be to poll tull the youn you're looking at right now off the streets. they fought bravely to topple gadhafi but that era is over and they need to be brought back under civilian control either to be convinced to go back to their day jobs or else to join a new national army. >> libyans yesterday were showing pictures of gadhafi's body on a mattress in a cooler. at this point do you have any idea -- the pictures we are looking at right now. any idea what is to become of his body? >> a vague one. it will be buried. the government has got a real problem on its hands, because it can't allow any grave site to become a shrine or a focus for any sort of loyalist insurgency.

yesterday, rather deafly they appeared to hand off to the religion authorities and the supreme religious figure in libya said this must be looked at in secret and it's going to be looked after, that is buried bay trusted group of religious insiders. it will probably be all over by the time we hear about it. russ? >> elizabeth palmer in tripoli, thank you very much. now for more of this morning's headlines, let's head to cbs news correspondent and morning news anchor betty nguyen at the news desk. >> good morning to you. secretary of state hillary clinton said this morning, the united states is committed to a democratic future in iraq. even as most of u.s. troops will be pulled out by the end of the year. yesterday, president obama said the nearly 40,000 service men and women are coming home by the end of the year. 150 to 200 troops are expected to stay in iraq to protect the u.s. embassy and american consulates. the death of the saudi crown prince in new york this morning is raising some questions about

the future of saudi arabia, a key u.s. ally in the middle east. the heir to the saudi throne, sultan bin abdulaziz al saud. his half brother who is 87 is in poor health. any successor is likely to keep the close ties to the u.s., but might not continue abdullah's attempts to reform saudi society. on monday the defense is expected to make its case in the trial of conrad murray, the doctor charged in michael jackson's death. they spent friday grilling the prosecution's star witness. cbs news correspondent bill whitaker reports. >> you propped up one of these bottles in this bag, right? >> correct. >> and you said that is what i think happened? >> that's correct. >> that's a bold claim, isn't it? >> it's an honest statement. it's what i think happened. >> reporter: dr. conrad murray's attorney chipped away at propofol expert dr. steven shafer's testimony that murray's

mishandling of the powerful anesthetic led to jake's son death. >> it was not the same bottle found in jackson's house? >> that is correct. >> reporter: shafer admitted that drinking propofol had not killed jackson. >> even a first-year medical student would know that that is just simply ridiculous, right? >> correct. >> they really wanted to suggest to the jury that he was some sort of vigilante that he had a vendetta against conrad murray and do anything to secure a victory for the prosecution including drinking propofol himself. >> reporter: court watchers say when the defense phase begins next week, their strategy will be? >> shift the focus from conrad murray and focus on michael jackson's dependency on drugs. >> it's 5 minutes past the hour. time for weather outside with

lonnie quinn. >> good morning. here is what i have for you in terms of the weather headlines. it's a relatively tranquil pattern all across the u.s. although no major storm systems brewing out there, there is ironically, a chance to see a storm in arlington, texas. that is where game three of the world series is being played tonight. first pitch gets tossed out 8 5 8:05. think about it. a thunderstorm pulls down cool air from the higher levels and, boom, that temperature drops 10 degrees. 67 degrees with a thunderstorm i just want you to address appropriately. if you're going to the game like betty nguyen's parents 67 would be chilly for you.

announcer: this portion of "the early show" sponsored by v-8 v-fusion smoothies. could of had a v-8. >> everybody, have a great saturday. prosecutors say a northern california woman apparently was justified in shooting and killing an intruder in her home. they say donna harper first called police and fired warning shots as the man tried to climb into her bedroom window early yesterday. joining us from reading, california, are donna harper and amanda wynn, the 911 dispatcher who took donna's call. thank you for being with us. appreciate it. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> i want to begin with you, donna. it is the middle of the night just before 4:00 a.m. what are you hear in your home and how do you know you're in trouble? >> the doorbell rang and i have

a motion sensor light on the porch and i jumped up and looked out the spare bedroom window and i could see a man standing there. so i grabbed my telephone and went to the door, i stood by the frame of the door because i was afraid of what was on the other side. and i said who is it? and he says my name is jeff. i thought that's what he said. i says what do you want? he says i'm coming in. i said i don't know you. go away. and i think i started dialing 911. he started pounding -- i have a metal security screen door and he started pounding on that door and i went down the hall and the dispatch lady, i don't remember her talking to me, but i remembered that i had a gun, so i went and got the gun out of the bedroom and when i was getting the gun, the spare bedroom window was next to the front door. he beat on the window with both hands and broke the window.

and i just remember coming into the doorway and firing two shots wild. >> wow. >> and -- go ahead. >> i was going to say, you can just hear the intensity of the situation, how frightening it was from what you describe. renatta, what you're talking to donna on the phone, do you get the impression that she is afraid? >> oh, definitely. she was very afraid but she was extremely calm, extremely calm for the situation she was in. i was actually impressed. >> did she mention to you on the phone that she was going to get the gun? >> she did. she said that she had a gun and then she got it out and she said he is trying to come through the window and i actually, i didn't hear the two shots that she fired. she had to tell me that she did. >> wow. donna, after you fired those shots, he then leaves the house, but comes back. >> he did. he walked around my yard across

in front of my garage over towards my next door neighbor and she's alone also. we both lost our husbands. and i remember telling the operator, oh, he has left and then right away, he came back and i'm looking at him trying to to see what he looked like and i remembered he had red hair and a beard and, all of a sudden, he put his knee on the window sill and tried to climb through the window and i just pulled the trigger again. i looked for a white shirt. i was afraid to look at his face. and i just shot the white shirt and i remember my dispatcher, she says, donna, take a breath. that's all i remember her telling me all night long, is, "donna, take a breath." and i thought i was screaming on the telephone and they said, no, you weren't. but in my ears, i'm screaming. the police come. they tell me don't go out in the

front, they had knee go out the back door over to the gate and let them in. and took me to my neighbor's. so that is about all i knew. to me, in my ears, i'm still screaming into the telephone and everybody is telling me i didn't scream. >> it's pretty incredible. we really appreciate you being with us, donna hopper and rinatta mann. so thankful you're okay and thank you for being with us. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> now here is russ. up next, going to change directions and have a fun conversation with dyan cannon about her life with cary grant. you're watching "the early show" on cbs.

stun gun? it was my goodness, can anyone be this wonderful, can anyone be this charming? can anyone be this electric? it was like when he walked into a room, the room changed. he had "it." he had that presence. >> he wanted to meet you, right? he arranged a meeting with you and you reluctant at first, right? >> i was. i had just come back from rome where i had been working. he had my agent call me and said he wanted to meet me. i said is he paying my way back? they said no. rome was so alive with young artists and poets and i wanted to stay but when my money ran out, i came back. >> and saw cary grant. >> and was introduced to cary, yes. >> the age difference we talked about. when you first started your relationship, did you think he was blossom into something else because of the age difference? >> actually, i was younger. i was 23 when i met him. >> 28 when you married him and 23 when you met him? >> yes. he was older than my father. but that wasn't the big deal. that wasn't the thing that was difficult for us because it was an immediate connection. we were both seekers.

and we both conducted in a very, very special way. that was not a problem. >> you talk about the romance in the book leading up to the marriage. you get married. you have jennifer, your daughter. you talk in the book about how he changed. he became controlling in many ways. like almost like a light switch went off. what do you think happened? >> well, it happens in many marriages, doesn't it? >> it does. >> we meet people and we love them and then we try to change them to fit or accommodate our specific needs, right? and i loved in the beginning, he changed the way i wore my hair, the way i dressed, the way i wrote thank you notes and i loved it because it garnered such attention from him to me. but right after he asked me to marry him, it changed. >> yeah? >> i think that is because of what happened to him as -- look. i want to be very clear about this. this is not a bashing cary grant book. this is not that at all. i want people to love him more when they finish this book because they will understand his heart.

>> they get a full picture of him certainly in this book. you also talk about his use of lsd. he actually was a proponent of lsd. >> yes, he was. >> you tried it as well. >> that is right. >> where did that come from? >> the wife before me betsy drake introduced him to lsd and when our marriage started to go south, he suggested i try it. he wrote a series of articles for "ladies home journal" about the benefits of using lsd. i said how can it be a good thing if you and betsy took it and you divorced what kind of an ad is that for us to use it together? he said you're the only one i've trusted enough to have a baby with and our relationship is deeper. i think it will save our marriage. that is one of the big messages of my book, russell. when you do something that you know you shouldn't do and go against your inner gut that says don't do it, that's death. >> you divorced three years later. in the book, you still describe him all of these years later as

delicious. >> yes, absolutely. i think i love him more now than i ever did. >> we ask everyone part of our early coffee segments. if you could have coffee with anyone in the world alive or dead, who would that be? >> my mother. my mother. one more hug. >> you were very close to her and from seattle, washington? >> that's right. >> dyan cannon, a pleasure to meet you. the book is called "dear cary, "life with cary grant." >> two-time oscar nominated? >> three. >> three. >> but who is counting? >> thank you for coming in. >> up next, we have spooky pictures haunting the web. just one of this week's trend benders. very interesting. we will tell you about it next. this is "the early show" on cbs. announcer: this portion of "the early show" sponsored by keurig. brew, enjoy.
