>> caption colorado, llc comments@captioncolorado.com good morning, an american citizen described as an al qaeda sympathizer is behind bars this morning after police stop an alleged plot to detonate explosives across new york city. his target, post offices, police stations, even u.s. servicemen and women back from iraq and afghanistan. we're live in washington this morning with the latest on the investigation and on the suspect. no deal. that's what lawmakers on the congressional super committee are saying after attempts to come up with a budget compromise falls short. we'll tell you what's behind this latest failure on capitol hill as today's deadline looms. outrage in california after police officers pepper spray a group of students protesting during a peaceful demonstration at uc davis. this morning, two of those officers put on leave and calls now for the chancellor to resign. and actress mila kunis makes

good on her promise and heads to the marine ball after being asked to the big event via youtube. we're going to talk with sergeant scott moore about his daring request and get details on the date early this monday morning, november 21st, 2011. captioning funded by cbs good monday morning to you. i'm erica hill. >> good monday morning, i'm jeff glor. chris wragge is off this morning, and we're going to begin right away this morning with that arrest by new york city police. they claim a suspect was plotting a bombing campaign targeting police and u.s. servicemen and women returning from iraq and afghanistan. >> homeland security correspondent bob orr joins us from washington with those details. bob, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, erica. new york officials describe the suspect in question as jose pimentel, a classic lone wolf. they say he had no real connections to any international

terrorist but is now accused of planning a home-grown, one-man bombing campaign inspired by al qaeda. 27-year-old jose pimentel appeared in manhattan criminal court late sunday night, arraigned on multiple terrorism-related charges. >> over two years ago, the new york city police department became aware of a follower of the radical cleric anwar al awlaki. >> reporter: new york officials say it was the death of awlaki, killed in a drone strike in september, that excellerated pimentel's alleged plot. a naturalized american citizen and convert to islam, pimentel lived in this building in northern manhattan. he's accused of trying out his pipe bombs on mailboxes, with his ultimate targets police stations and patrol cars, as well as u.s. soldiers returning from iraq and afghanistan. >> the suspect was a so-called lone wolf, motivated by his own resentment of the presence of american troops in iraq and afghanistan as well as inspired by al qaeda propaganda. >> reporter: the online al qaeda

magazine "inspire" recently published an article "how to build a bomb in the kitchen of your mom." it allegedly inspired pimentel, who then held bomb-making sessions in the apartment of an informant who was working with new york police. officials displayed a video showing the kind of damage pimentel's bombs might have caused. >> we had to act quickly yesterday because he was, in fact, putting this bomb today. >> reporter: pimentel's website trueislamone includes postings supporting his belief in ji hand calling america and its allies legitimate targets in warfare. and his alleged target new york remains at the top of the terror wish list, including high-profile arrests like those of failed times square bomber faisal shahzad. this was the 14th alleged terror plot against new york in the decade since 9/11. now, he was considering changing his name once to saddam hussein

to celebrate his heroes. this morning he's held without bail in new york. one more point. it's interesting the fbi, which normally handles terror cases, was not at all involved in this one. and privately, some federal officials are questioning the strength of the case. >> so, then, give us an idea about how significant is this arrest and just how much of a threat did he actually pose? >> reporter: well, pimentel, we have to remember, was constantly under the watch of new york police. so in that sense, there was little chance, if any, that he could have actually carried out any kind of bombing. and the size of explosives he was said to be building would not have caused any widespread damage. but the biggest concern here is this case, yet again, illustrates there are some people living out there in our midst who want to do harm in the name of terrorists and al qaeda. >> bob orr, good to have you this morning. bob, thanks. >> reporter: thank you. after months of meetings, it appears likely that a so-called super committee will not be able to reach an agreement to cut the deficit by midnight tonight. >> and we have two reports on this for you this morning. we start with bill plante, who has reaction from the white

house. actually, we're going to start on capitol hill. sorry. congressional correspondent nancy cordes is there for us with the latest on the stalemate first. nancy, good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you. we expect to get the formal announcement later today that the super committee is closing up shop without a deal to cut the debt. these 12 lawmakers were given unprecedented power, tremendous political cover, and they still couldn't bridge the divide. even the leaders of the super committee admit they are on the verge of failure. >> nobody wants to give up hope. reality is to some extent starting to overtake hope. >> reporter: not surprisingly, the two sides have differing explanations for the breakdown. the six democrats say it was the republicans' insistence on making the bush-era tax cuts permanent as part of the deal. democrats argue, those cuts primarily benefited the wealthy. >> we are not a tax-cutting committee. we're a deficit-reduction committee. >> reporter: the six republicans contend democrats were more

focused on raising taxes than on trimming medicare and medicaid, the biggest drivers of the debt. >> in washington, there is a group of folks that will not cut a dollar unless we also raise taxes. >> all right. >> reporter: the super committee was tasked with devising a plan to save $1.2 trillion. that's just a fraction of the $4 trillion experts say is the minimum that must be cut in order to start to ease the burden of a ballooning $15 trillion national debt. the super committee, which met in private for months, was seen as the best chance to break the partisan gridlock on capitol hi hill. after a debt deal between congressional leaders and the president fell apart this summer. >> there were 12 members of this committee putting an enormous amount of time and effort into trying to accomplish something. it's not entirely too late yet. it's still possible to reach an agreement, but it's going to be tough given where the talk is. >> reporter: by law, the failure of the super committee will trigger automatic,

across-the-board spending cuts to nearly every government program of up to 10%, but those cuts do not go into effect for 13 months, and some lawmakers hope that they can figure out some more intelligent way to cut the debt between now and then. erica? >> all right, nancy, thanks very much. that would be something. i'll take it. it's jeff. president obama is back at the white house after a nine-day trip to asia and the pacific region, and his potential rival, mitt romney, faulted mr. obama for not being more involved in pushing the super committee towards a deal. senior white house correspondent bill plante has more on that. bill, good morning to you. what is the white house's role at this point? >> reporter: well, jeff, you will not be surprised to learn that the president and his staff have deliberately refused to play on this. all they'll say is, hey, the president made detailed recommendations back in september. and yesterday, as it became clear that the committee would fail, the white house put out a statement admonishing them for kicking the can down the road and saying, "congress needs to do its job here and make the kind of tough choices to live within its means that american

families make every day." but it's safe to say that in the absence of a real debt deal, which, of course, they'd like to have, the administration couldn't be happier that this is failing because they will try to blame it all on the republicans going into the election year. jeff? >> bill, by most accounts, the president had a fairly successful asian trip. is there a continuing sense of frustration on the part of the white house that things can get done overseas and things can't get done in washington? or at this point, is it just resignation? >> reporter: no, you know, jeff, i think it's partly that the president had a good week overseas, but foreign policy is not at the top of the list for most americans. even though he set up a couple of trade deals, said that he would establish a u.s. presence in south asia to counter the chinese. it all comes back to the same old same old when he comes back here and has a face-off with congress in which nothing gets done. so, sure, there's frustration, but at the same time, they're kind of proud of what they did last week. >> bill plante at the white house. thank you very much. many people believe the man

most responsible for the deadlock in washington is grover norquist. he's the lobbyist and conservative activist who managed to get nearly every republican in congress to sign the pledge. that is a pledge to oppose any and all new taxes. steve kroft asked norquist about the hold he has over the gop on last night's "60 minutes." >> a lot of people think you're the most powerful man in washington. >> the tax issue is the most powerful issue in american politics going back to the tea party. people say, oh, grover norquist has power. no, grover norquist and americans for tax reform focus on the tax issue. the tax issue is a powerful issue. >> and grover norquist joins us this morning from washington. good to have you with us. in the american people's mind, as we look at congress and the way the approval rating has continued to plummet, essentially over the last few months, for a lot of people, this is a failure, the fact that the super committee cannot come to some sort of agreement on what to cut here.

to you, though, is it a success in that your side, technically that you're backing, or either side didn't give in? >> well, two things. one, the goal of the super committee was to reduce spending $1.2 trillion. if they couldn't agree on how to do it, the democrats refuse to come up with $1.2 trillion in spending cuts, you go to automatic spending cuts across the board. so, taxpayers are protected. $1.2 trillion will be saved. what the democrats wanted to do was raise taxes to pay for the $10 trillion in higher debt that obama's spending over the last two years created. so, we're trying to undo a spending mess. the only way to spend less is to spend less. the democrats want to raise taxes to pay for obama's larger government. the two parties don't agree. >> is there ever going to be a case where the two parties can agree? is there any situation? i mean, this is a pretty bad financial situation for this country, and it's not getting any better. and without any compromise, any working together, it doesn't appear that's going to happen.

so, could there ever be a situation where the sides could come together, both sides giving a little bit? >> well, that's already happened. remember, the republicans in the house of representatives passed paul ryan's budget, which over the next ten years reduces obama's overspending by $6 trillion. $6 trillion in less spending. what the republicans and obama agreed to in august was $2.5 trillion in less spending. so, there's been a tremendous compromise. republicans wanted to reduce obama's debt by $6 trillion. they agreed, okay, we'll only do $2.5 trillion. now the democrats are trying to fight not to do all the $2.5 trillion, but there's been a big compromise, because the democrats want to spend more, the republicans have brought that down a little bit but not enough. >> not enough compromise. and a couple of things that you talked with steve kroft about last night, is you said -- and we just heard from you in that bite -- this is the most powerful issue in american politics. you also said at the end of the piece, quoting here, talking about how many people you've gotten to sign this pledge and

how it's helped them, as you say, "if they sign it and keep it, they win the primary, they win the general, they get to govern, and i've helped to make all of this possible." if this is about governing, if it is about keeping those seats in congress and pushing forward with this pledge, there's still not a lot getting done in washington, even with some of the compromise. so, why not push those people to maybe do a little bit more? >> well, of course, look, the democrats have spent a great deal of money. bush spent too much and the democrats put it into hyper drive, adding trillions in just a few years to the debt, things that used to take us decades or 100 years to do. we need to bring that spending down. the democrats want to get the republicans to raise taxes to pay for their higher spending. the republican party has said over the last 20 years, we're not going to raise taxes, and we need to focus on spending. and so, that's the difference between the two parties. if you want higher taxes and more spending, vote for the

democrat. if you want less spending and less taxes, you vote for the republicans. it's very clear they're going in different directions, and the taxpayer protection pledge allows voters to know who a candidate is. will he or she put in writing that they won't raise your taxes? only three democrats have made that commitment in writing. almost all of the republicans have nationally. but also, 13 governors have taken that pledge and 1,300 state legislators. so, anyone who's running for office, ask them if they've taken the pledge. and if you want higher taxes, don't vote for the pledge-takers. if you want lower taxes, vote for someone who's taken the pledge. >> grover norquist, thanks for your time this morning. >> sure. >> he's taken the news pledge. terrell, good morning to you. >> erica and jeff, good morning to you both. the embattled chancellor at the university of california davis says she'll meet with student leaders today. she'll discuss campus police using pepper spray on nonviolent occupy protesters it happened friday.

gaining support in iowa, even those his positions on some of the issues are at odds with much of the republican base. sunday on "face the nation," paul was asked about past statements suggesting the u.s. played a role in causing the 9/11 attacks. >> we didn't cause it. the average american didn't cause it but if you have a flawed policy, it may influence it. >> jan, in terms of this conference over the weekend, rick santorum said that one of the reasons he felt mitt romney wasn't there because he wouldn't feel comfortable at the conference. how much influence do evangelicals have on this election coming up in terms of the gop as a whole? >> reporter: well, they certainly have a lot of influence in that key state of iowa where voters will start going to the polls less than six weeks away. you've got i think the latest show 37% a des moines registered poll of people there identify themselves as evangelicals.

the forum was tailor made for the key constituency in iowa which is a first state, a big state. >> gives us a sense in iowa. i want to talk about mitt romney and bring in john dickerson. a lot of stuff written about mitt romney. bill riley writing he is the -- candidate. and anything but the mitt romney phenom. he sort has been laying low and seems like he is playing it safe. could he be playing it too safe? he never seems to rise in the poll even when some of the other candidates rise and fall back down? >> right. what bill crystal was saying that he is avoidable, meaning the republicans can go find some other candidate. you're right. mitt romney has played is conservative this time around, showing perhaps some experience from having done it last time. and -- but he has kind of stayed steady while other candidates have come up and come down. the thinking is among romney's fans is that as voters start to

focus on the attributes you need for a president, the person they want to look at and see in the oval office that he does very well. when you ask voters who they think did can beat barack obama, they pick mitt rom nney and who you think could be commander in chief they pick him. in a year people are worried about the economy he has a good resume for. that's where a lot of republicans despite the shifting that voters might end up coming back to mitt romney. >> what about newt gingrich rising? a little bit of a stumble. there were some issues, of course, last week with his ties to freddie mac. how consistent do you think he could be right now? could he continue this rise? >> well, he is sharing the nonmitt romney spot at the moment that has been shared with bachmann and perry and cain and he is here in new hampshire today and romney has been here the last four days and romney has been campaign you about not in iowa where gingrich has some strength. the question now is whether

gingrich's past and the debates over his past freddie mac and stewardship as speaker of the house whether that is something people want to relive and when they think about and look at his past, whether they think, okay, well that is fine, but we still like him. he's at the sort of beginning of his hot phase. he just got to see if he can last longer than all of those other nonmitt romney candidates. >> at the beginning of his hot phase he says. when someone tends to rise in the poll there tend more tax on them. >> reporter: well, yes. we have certainly seen that the last couple of weeks he has moved up and the scrutiny has increased at the same time. he says expect more of it. i've been in the public life a long time and a lot of things that people can write about me so he is trying to set expectations high for voters that, yeah, more to come out on him. he also, i think, is someone who has always played this role of the wise elder sage so that is what you're seeing now and saw it on stage saturday night and a new web video coming out saying i was right about the super committee. he kind of speaks with his

confidence. danger for him is whether these stories we are now starting to see kinds of tarnish people's view of him and whether or not he comes across as arrogant. >> jan just mentioned the super committee. john, over the weekend, mitt romney mentioned it as well. when we look at what is not happening in washington, are there any of these candidates you can point to who may have a chance of making something happen in washington, of bringing perhaps some functio l functionality back to the capital? >> no. but that -- no. that is short of any of them that might have some wiedazardrn their back pocket. the point is that washington is thoroughly broken. the only thing pressure lawmakers there is if the markets and economy goes even further the doldrums and that might finally move some folks to act in washington but i think no candidate has the power to change the complete dysfunction in washington. >> john dickerson and jan crawford, appreciate it.

parents were overcome with worry. her case was made even worse, when the murdoch-family-owned "news of the world" began hacking into her cell phone voicemail. listening to and deleting messages. her parents told of the heartbreak they suffered, because of the false hope the activity in millie's phone account caused them. they thought she was still alive, when in fact, she had been murdered. >> i rang the phone and it clicked through on to her voicemail. i heard her voice. >> yes. >> and it was just like i just, she picked upped her voicemail. she's alive. >> the dowler family is the first to testify, following them, hugh grant who has been outspoken in his outrage of how the woman with whom he has been a child, has been pursued by the press. >> they followed her around, she was a single pregnant woman, she was being tailed by paparazzi, one in particular, who frightened her a lot over the months of her pregnancy. >> the murdochs have been forced

regulation, which everybody agrees should be avoided. but what they're saying is the present regulation under something called the press complaints commission, is fine. but in reality, there's been no regulation at all. and the press have had a free hand. a new chairman of the pcc has said he wasn't a regulator. so the press have been able to go for a free for all. >> you're looking for some sort of regulation. mark, has anything, is the hacking still going on, as far as you know? >> there is a suggestion it's going on. but the behavior of the press is still something that can be seen. so even last week, when it was lord justice levinson started the inquiry. he was hearing from representatives, people who will be giving evidence about press conduct. photographers, people filmed intrusively getting into taxi cabs. cameras being thrust at them. i took photos of the photographers to show what they were actually doing. and it seemed oblivious as to

how to behave. >> mark, you've also been hacked? >> well it seems i was told that i was hacked. i've certainly been trailed. i've been notified by the police that i had private detectors working for the "news of the world" newspaper, following me and following my child, who is 14. my youngest daughter who was 14 at the time. she was filmed ghoog a garden center. her mother, my ex-wife is followed. this is outrageous behavior. they are almost trying to frighten the lawyers. >> mark, how's the dowler family doing? >> well the dowler family, i think it was a cathartic experience for them to say what they had been through. you could hear a pin drop in court, in the tribunal room when sally dowler was explaining, when she found out she had three sleepless nights when she was replaying everything she had heard nine years earlier. when unfortunately tragically millie was murdered.
