investigation of his weekend visit to colombia investigated. nearly a dozen agents in trouble along with five members of the u.s. military. >> those agents in colombia preparing for the president's precipitation when they were accused of hiring prostitutes. norah o'donnell is here with the story. >> reporter: it's an embarrassment for the white house and the secret service, at least 11 members of the elite agency may be involved and president obama wrapping up his trip is now calling for a thorough and rigorous investigation. >> if it turns out that some of the allegations that have been made in the press are confirmed, then of course, i'll be angry. >> reporter: president obama ended two days in colombia as a press conference where the focus was supposed to be on trade and security in latin america. instead, theengulfing the secret service continued to make news. >> we are here on behalf of our people and that means we conduct

ourselves with the utmost dignity and probity and, obviously, what has been reported doesn't match up with those standards. >> reporter: the allegations involve at least 11 secret service members who were in colombia preparing for the president's visit. there were reports of drinking and soliciting prostitutes wednesday night at the hotel caribe. scandal opened up thursday morning when an argument between one of the secret service officials and a woman who said she hadn't been paid. prostitution is legal in colombia but the concern is the security of the president could have been compromised. members of congress vow to investigate. >> whatever they do in their personal life should not be done in colombia and not done when they are getting ready for the president of the united states to come in. their job is to protect the president. >> reporter: none of the secret service members were in the elite detail that protects the president and officials say this incident was more about personal misconduct than operational

failure. >> they do very hard work under very stressful circumstances and almost unvariably do an outstanding job. >> reporter: on a lighter note, secretary clinton was also on this trip to colombia. on sunday night after the president left she went dancing with some of her female aides at a hotel. a state department official asked if she had fun and responded, a lot. >> we have republican congressman darrell issa, chairman of the house oversight and government reform committee that may hold hearings over the incident. good morning. can you add to the story as we know it? >> what we see is that this story is larger than 11 individuals. it's part of what has been told to us is a pattern of behavior that's built up, so-called wheels up parties and the like, and, clearly, you have an elite unit, generally, that we count on to have the greatest of security, not just for the president but for the cabinet and for other officials and we need to know that they are

living up to that on a broad basis. we clearly have lost confidence. we need to get that confidence back by knowing that the system will be changed. >> does that mean you're going to conduct an investigation? >> we are going to primarily look over the shourlted of the inspector general and other people. our role is primarily not to be the direct investigators but to verify that the investigation with the president's calling rigorous is done and then that there are corrective actions that are done there as we need them done at the gsa. >> with me here is norah o'donnell and erica hill. >> the congressman believes this is more widespread. one former head of the said he agreed this would likely be more rare. what are you hearing? what is the word in washington in terms of the thinking about how widespread these type of incidents could be? >> the secret service wants this to make sure that this is contained and it's not more widespread but they are still

conducting this investigation. i don't think they know fully yet is the direct answer. the biggest problem is that these secret service agents, while they are not part of the elite detail around the president but they all have security cleaners and they were in a secure zone and allegedly brought a prostitute in a secure zone. the concern is espionage and blackmail and it cannot stand. there is a security concern here. >> congressman issa, tell how you feel about the violation of the security area. >> we are concerned about is the failure today can lead to blackmail five, ten, 20 years from now. people who have basically betrayed their country in the past have normally started off thinking rather benignly. if you look at how you get somebody to do something wrong, you do it something small or bigger. in this case these individuals maybe not on the elite detail

but, in fact, part of that security and ten years from now. will that behavior change because any moved up in rank? i don't think they would. more importantly the american people want to know they get value for their money at secret service and want to know they get the value for their money at gsa qh meawhich means whatever rules are they have to be met. >> congressman when you say there is concern about wheels up parties. what do you mean by that? >> it's a term that we have heard used from these foreign trips that, in fact, when, you know, when the president leaves, there is a wheels up party. okay, fine. that's when you can sort of let your hair down. the question is in this case you are a prewheeled down party. you had drinking and you had activity that clearly compromised the ring of security, at least some, because you now had people inside secure areas and people who could have come in with all kinds of microphones or could have done something, or later on could have blackmailed and all of this

went on before the president arrived. this really goes beyond what we have heard in the past and an area of concern. whether you're a secret service, uniform service or plain clothes or high or low ranking compromising somebody in a way they could be blackmailed in the future is a serious threat for people who hold high cleaners and ultimately counted on for the safety and security of our most important packages now or in the future. >> congressman, you're hearing into the gsa scandal coming out of las vegas be gins today. what do you expect to find? >> we expect to find is, again, you have a pattern that may have begun under the bush administration. certainly the dollars of growth indicates there was more money being spent on this particular every two-year event. but what we see is it got very much out of control. the american people are now aware of it. but it begs a bigger question is all along in the gsa, the institution that is supposed to set the gold standard for savings for the federal work

force, for our facilities, and for our purchasing of goods and services, seems to go just the opposite. if they are getting it wrong and getting it so wrong in one place or two places or three places, we have discovered it's likely that it's a pattern of behavior that, again, is costing the american people hundreds of millions, perhaps billions, of dollars and setting a bad example for the rest of the federal work force. if gsa is wasting your money undoubtedly others will feel less incentivized to have austerity. the president came in saying he was goiting scrub these kinds of activities and now we find a very delayed investigation, the excuse is bush did it too. you know what? the american people may not have thought president bush was a fiscal conservative reducing the size of government but this has been a showing that neither this president and it's got to end now. we have to in congress not just talk about cutting budgets but we have got to show how you can bring austerity to the federal work force and las vegas wasn't

an example of it. >> congressman, thank you for joining us. >> thank you. a powerful storm front is moving toward the great lakes this morning. on sunday, it caused an extraordinary tornado outbreak in the midwest. more than 120 tornadoes were reported in five states over the weekend. it was such a dangerous system, forecasters warned people more than 24 hours in advance. officials say those early warnings did save lives. early sunday, though, one of the tornadoes killed six people, including three children, in the small town of woodward, oklahoma. dean reynolds is there. good morning, dean. >> reporter: good morning. and good morning to our viewers in the west. behind me, you see some of the worst damage to be found in woodward, oklahoma. and considering the weekend, we have just experienced, it's amazing there aren't more scenes like this across the great plains. >> oh, my gosh! oh, my gosh! >> reporter: the storm system ran from texas to minnesota. fueling funnel clouds by the dozens and sending people scurrying for protection while

their neighborhoods were ripped to shreds. as soon as it would leave. >> two tornadoes! >> reporter: it would return. again and again. >> it's coming right for me! >> reporter: the people who died in woodward, oklahoma, included a father and his two daughters ages 5 and 7. 28 others were injured. 13 businesses and 89 homes were destroyed. kyle reynolds lived in one of them. how many bedrooms did you have here? >> you're looking at the master bedroom, this first section of wall is lying in our bed. most of the kitchen is in the dining room now. >> reporter: he was at the high school overseeing prom night when the storm hit. his 19-year-old daughter jessica was back from college, though. she rode it out in the basement safe room of their home. >> i couldn't believe how much damage in just, like i said like five seconds. >> reporter: the siren in woodward was disabled by the storm and some people were not awakened in time to take cover.

on sunday, oklahoma governor mary fowler declared a state of emergency. >> everything is okay? >> yes. >> reporter: in iowa in the small town of thurmond, a twister wiped it off the map. in kansas, most of the tornadoes touched down, governor sam brownback surveyed the damage. >> we have 40% of the state of kansas in a warning at some point in time and i'm just -- i'm maamazed what didn't happen really with that size system. >> reporter: the storm sit up the night sky in wichita and damaged a military base and defense contractor and this neighborhood. >> i felt like everything like the roof lift and even i lifted a little bit with it. >> reporter: in the end, though, only the tornado that hit woodward proved fatal. >> dean reynolds in woodward, oklahoma, thanks.

overnight scene by militants in afghanistan's capital came to an end this morning. the taliban is taking credit for a string of coordinated assaults in four cities. kabul was especially hard hit. allen pizzey is in the afghan capital. good morning, allen. >> reporter: good day, charlie. in terms of the overall military situation the attacks didn't amount to much but afghan president hamid karzai called them a failure by the intelligent services and nato. taliban spokesman promised there were more to come. the operation to root out and kill the insurgents was carried out by afghans without the intervention of troops from the international security force. but it took almost 18 hours from start to finish. a handful of insurgents took over a building site in what is supposedly one of the most secure areas of the city home to many foreign embassies and nato base and the after gan parliament. this morning the bodies of taliban fighters still sprawled in the rubble testament to the fierce fighting. the taliban said the operation

marked the start of their spring offensive. the spokesman said it had been planned for months and in hard revenge for u.s. troops having burned the koran and urinated on taliban dead and killing of 17 afghan civilians by a lone u.s. army sergeant. attacks here and three other capitals led 36 dead. eight afghan security force members were killed and 40 wounded. one insurgent captured and reportedly confessed for being what is known as the haquanni network. attacks like this demonstrate why we need to be here, he said. to get out before the afghans have a full grip on security which is a couple of years out would be to invite the taliban and haquannis back in and set the stage for another 9/11 and that, i thinks is an unacceptable risk for any

american. they have asked for scanning equipment to help do it. >> allen, thank you. in san francisco a search is called off for four sailors who are lost in a yacht race over the we could. as bill whitaker reports, one other body has been recovered. three people were saved. >> reporter: it was a dramatic coast guard rescue. three sailors lifted to safety after clinging to jagged outproperties off the coast of san francisco. holding on for their lives in a pounding sea. they were three of the eight-person crew on the low-speed chase. this 38-foot racing yacht competing in a round the trip race from the san francisco yacht club to these rugged islands a rocky wild live ref e refuge. this youtube video taken from another boat shows the seas were chop iy. the rescued sailors say powerful wave slammed the yacht broad

>> reporter: the legal thorn in the murdoch media empire side and the man now considering bringing charges in the united states is a man who was a regular reader of the company's most notorious newspaper. the news of the world has since been shut down. a casualty of the phone hacking scandal. after rupert murdoch's news international finally admitted the paper had systemally hacked into the voice mill messages of a missing teenager named millie dowler and giving her parents false hope when she was alive when, in fact, she had been murdered. mark lewis represented the dowler family and led the legal battle and forced mur docks to pay almost $5 million in compensation and forced rupert murdoch to apologize. >> he did apologize. he apologized many times. i don't think somebody could have held their hand -- their head in their hand so many times and say they were sorry. >> reporter: the damage to the murdoch empire has been more

than an embarrassing pie in the pace for the company's pate react. james murdoch has been ousted or jumped before pushed in the top job in the family business. the murdochs used private eye derek webb to try to discredit mark lewis and underestimated him. at the don't that any more. for "cbs this morning," i'm mark phillips in london. >> joining us is attorney mark lewis. what are you hoping to uncover here? >> i think there are a few things that we look at is, one, some of the victims are american and they have no connection whatsoever with britain and they will be -- i'm l-- but up until wider thing because it is not just english company but the holding company, news corp., the documents that they might have, the amount consistent to perhaps take deep positions of individuals, so we will find out more.

>> you're saying it's not just a question of people who may have been victims of the british hacking, but, in fact, you may be looking at what activities went on in the united states? >> there will be victims of the british hacking, but those -- the victims that are american victims. although over the last two or three days has it was announced i was hit and a number of americans have been attached to say they have problems not that i would deal with them, but to indicate that there are problems with other activities. >> they think they may have been hacked by? >> hacked or -- >> news corporation people in the united states? >> hacked or tracked or falling out with parts of news corp. and then being susceptible to -- electives. >> what kind of people? who are you talking about? >> people who contacted me. >> celebrities? >> former employees, celebrities. just any person that exists is potentially someone who could found foul of news corps at some point. >> what do you think the risk is for news corp.?

>> i think that people will be looking at the involvement of a family in their large public company. it's whether or not it should exist as a family dynasty or more accountable to the shareholders but i think also the issue of plurality of almost political influence of such a large holding in news both in television news and print news. that becomes something that can persuade that we have -- we have democracy in britain and you have democracy here but if democracy is influenced by people, it stops being democracy. we stop saying in england we almost got murdoch mercy. >> how far up do you think this goes? >> i think that one of the reasons for tag cases here to see exactly how far is does go. it keeps moving up the lip and we want to know exactly how far it goes up. >> give us an idea. the name of the three people the

klee clients you have i know you're not releasing their names but what they believe is done with their information? was any of that reported? >> some of the stories are reported. some of the people are just collateral damage because the way the phone hacking worked was perhaps somebody was targeted. but other people who would call that person or receive messages from that person they may not be celebrities and you may not have heard of them at all, but they just fell into the path and, therefore, they could be -- >> you believe that at one point you were under surveillance. >> i know i was under surveillance. it was just a question of -- the police -- the metropolitan police or london police force had video evidence of my former wife and my daughter, who was 14 at the time, being filmed for news corp. and their subsidiary. there was a doesier. >> it's personal for you as well? >> there is -- they started with me rather than me starting with

16 years ago his first novel "absolute pow are" told the story of a secret service cover-up. ball douchy is here in studio 57. we've been talking about baldochi to remember. >> i think you should just change your name to hill. >> there you go. >> all right, baldacci, you said to miss king that you knew a lot of secret service people and that you are, in fact, sad about this. tell me how this could have happened? >> you know, they have a high degree of professionalism. the advance team goes in to set up the groundwork for the president, his personal protection detail. and that area is sort of known for that sort of business. and it never should have happened. certainly supervisors should have taken care of that. it never got near the agents. but it was a total messup. and it's going to affect the

service for a long time. >> in what way? >> well, one, it's going to -- they're going to have to retrain the people totally, have greater restrictions. people will be under heightened scrutiny. and people are supposed to protect are going to lose confidence in them. that's the biggest thing. >> go ahead. >> okay. there's a concern over how widespread this may be. a congressman said he thinks there is more of a history here. one former director of the secret service says i don't think that's the case. you know a lot of people in these worlds. what do you think? >> as a former lawyer, i like to let the investigation do its job. if the facts prove out the allegations, i think that the reprecushions will be considerable and swift. and it might be that a culture is developed there that is a negative one. they'll have to take care of that. this may be a blessing in disguise to turn it around now. >> it may be a culture. does it sound like it was more than a couple. i'm thinking for it to be that big means that somewhere along the line a lot people must have known about it. that's what i find, based on the

initial reports. i thought about even is this giving new material for a book? >> yeah, that's why i like to stick to fiction. i don't like to rip stories from the headlines. i like to come up with my own stories. some of these facts might end up in a book later on do you remember the road. people are people. that's where, in my books i like to deal with the foibles and flaw that's people have. i think that's what people find interesting. >> here you are a former trial lawyer. john grisham was just here. both of you are story tellers. what's the transition? what happened to make you think you could write best-selling novels? >> the best fiction i ever wrote was as a lawyer. i won cases because i was a better storyteller as a lawyer. you have the same set of facts. both sides have the same set of facts. you have to tell your story that best represents your client. >> good law school? >> go to law school, recently. you know, some of us can be

great writers. >> i thought that's what's so good as your story. you both have the same things. you each have to tell a different version of the exact same set of facts. it often boils down to who tells a better story. in your case, you've done it very well. >> i try. >> the only thing i do remotely well. >> there is also this sense of character of the innocent. >> he is like a premier hitman. he's an assassin for the government. he goes around the world taking out people that need to be taken out. he has one job. he has to do in d.c. where he does not pull the trigger. he does the unthinkable. he doesn't follow-through on the job. so what he does and people are killed and he has to go on the run. that's complicated long enough. he runs into a teenage girl and she's also on the run. what was interesting for me in the story is my predator, my killer whose sole job is to take other people's lives had to transform into a guardian angel. a role that was difficult for him and one that i don't think he was really up into the book.

>> so what you do for research for government hired agents? >> there is a little club in d.c. we have a few drinks and talk chop. >> the thing that was so interesting in the book by page 7 he already killed five people. >> yes. >> he took five people by page seven and went to dinner and felt really good about it. >> you have to be emotionless, i think. i went to ft. benning for a book i did last year and trained with some of the rangers. when your job is to take other people's lives, you have to sort of approach it as a professional and be emotionless about it. pull the trigger and move on to the next job. you think that sounds bad. but if that's your job, you can do it. and that's what will is. doesn't leave him the full individual. throughout the course of the book i try to take him from this into something better. >> he brings up a good point about your research. the skinny on you is that you do the research yourself. you don't have other people do it. you really get in there and do

the nitty and gritty. >> i walk along the police officers in d.c. and going what do we do? run faster. and i jumped out of a parachute tower at ft. benning. the troopers on the ground had bets i would not jump. i did. as i'm flying down a zip line, soldiers are screaming at me to lift my feet. i'm heading right for a big dirt berm. i lift my feet and clear that. you have to get out from behind your degs being. talk to people and see what they do to do their job and build a story that is authentic and real. you have to live it. >> just one last point here. this notion of back to the secret service and absolute power about the secret service. you're suggesting that this incident may be in a sense a blessing in disguise

just for the record, david baldacci says he loved balducci. did you know the name of meredith kercher? she was manda knox's roommate. she was found not guilty of murdering her. peter van zandt will look at new accusations being made by

fighting charges of killing her roommate in italiment she became a well known name around the world. most of us don't remember the name of the victim in her case. it was mayor lidge kercher. >> the drama over knox's acquittal overshadowed the loss his daughter. her father is now telling his side of the story in a soon to be released book. >> mayor kij kercher featured in this music video was # 1 years old when her body was discovered in a shouse he had shared with amanda knox in italy. in an excerpt from the new book published in the daily mail up into, her father complains that the world has focused far too much on amanda. he writes, meredith was a beautiful, intelligent and caring girl whom every lofrd and her story deserves to be told. john kercher who didn't attend the retrial of amanda knox and her former boyfriend wrote the

book on his own. he was divorced from meredith's mother more than ten years ago. it's all been about knox, not just for my daughter. knox was found not guilty of meredith's murder last october in a verdict watched around the world. the next day the kercher family reacted to the decisions. >> we find that we are looking at this again. and thinking how a decision that was so certain two years ago has been so emphatically overturned now. >> john kercher writes we knew meredith had not gone on with knox. after knox was arrested, he writes, the alibis of knox and sallecito kept changing. there have been books written about knox and it was a tv movie. and next year amanda knox will release her own account of her ordeal, a book deal reportedly

worth nearly $4 million. john kercher as book includes his desperate attempt to reach his daughter once news spread in the british media that a female british student has been found murdered. i called meredith. the phone rings on and on and still there is no answer. eventually, a reporter calls john kercher. i shall never forget her words. the name going around italy, she says, is meredith. >> and peter van zandt joins us in the studio. that had to be an awful feeling if you have a daughter that is overseas in italy and the name is meredith, you're thinking oh, no. the way he writes about it i thought was heartbreaking. >> poignant. and john kercher was very close to his daughter. she was on a dream academic semester in italy to learn the language. and to have this happen, it's classic every parent's nightmare.

>> he writes that the two of them, the two women didn't get along. and during the trial and we heard from amanda knox herself and amanda's family that is not true. they got along pretty well. >> i think the truth is somewhere in between. the two of them had gone to a chocolate festival in the brief weeks they had known each other. and just two days before she was murdered, meredith and amanda knox were out for a night on the town. so it's -- they were friends. they had roommate issues from time to time. but there was nothing malicious there. >> you point out, they hadn't been roommates very long. what was it, two months maybe? >> just a few weeks. just a few weeks. >> this is really some of the first that we've heard from john kercher, meredith's dad. he said we feel like our daughter is forgotten. >> they have. the family is remarkably classy in all of this. you remember the day after the acquittal, the rest of the family held a news conference. john kercher was not at the

second trial. and they were baffled by all of this. but they did not say there's an injustice here or that someone got away with murder. they truly believe that someone else must have been involved in the murder of their daughter. and they want the investigation to continue. >> doesn't sound like he gets along with the rest of the family, does he? john kercher? >> i believe he gets along fine. he has a relationship with his ex-wife that is typical in a divorce. but he loves his children. they love him. this book, though, is not written with the rest of the family. this is john kercher's only personal journey. and there are things within this book that where he still suggesting justice hasn't been done. i think peace could come to this family if they were to realize that rudy is the one killer. >> thank you. we'll be back. this is "cbs this morning." ,,,,
