7:03 am
the congressional gym locker room. welcome to "cbs this morning." the secret service sex scandal is not going away. it is expanding two weeks after that incident in cartagena, colombia. the government is investigating reports of unprofessional behavior by agents in four countries going back 12 years. >> on capitol hill, there are growing demands for an outside agency to take over the investigation. bill plante is at the white house. good morning. >> reporter: good morning and good morning in the west as the secret service works to clean up the scandal in colombia, it's got more reports of misbehavior by agents on assignment overseas. the dispute over payment to a prostitute in cartagena, colombia, triggered charges of hard partying around the globe.
7:04 am
a cbs affiliate reported on thursday that secret service agents visited the strip club in el salvador in advance of president obama's trip there in march 2011. >> we're here trying to track down some things about president obama's visit last year. >> reporter: the secret service is looking into that report and some others. including accusations that secret service personnel traveling with former president clinton partied at strip clubs on a visit to baneas aires and secret service agent and white house staffers went to a moscow nightclub known for sexually charged atmosphere prior to the trip in 2000. new allegations come soon after a hearing on wednesday in which senators were assured that the colombia scandal was an isolated incident. >> we need a thorough investigation. that's part of our oversight responsibilities. it's an obligation we owe the
7:05 am
american people. >> reporter: secret service spokesman donovan said they were looking into the new reports. any information brought to our attention that can be assessed as credible, he said in a statement, will be followed up on in an appropriate manner. white house press secretary jay carney said the president won't pass judgment on whether there's a pattern of misbehavior at the secret service until all investigations have been completed. >> when we travel abroad on official trips, we're representing the people of this country and we should do so by conducting ourselves in an appropriate manner. >> reporter: the continued attention to what happened in the colombians. colombian's ambassador to the u.s. calls the media coverage superficial, sensationalist and unfair and asking the white house for a new apology. the state department says the president and the white house and the secretary of state all apologized when they were in colombia.
7:06 am
charlie, erica? >> bill plante, thank you. with us now, iowa senator chuck grassley. he's leading the call for an independent investigation. senator, good morning. >> good morning, charlie. >> who is best to do this investigation and what do you believe they will find? >> inspector general of the homeland security would be the one to make sure that the secret service investigation is thorough. inspectors generals have a great deal of independence and they are the ones that ought to be doing this unbothered by anybody else in the department or the administration and what we want to find out now is that this is more than what the president said a couple days ago that it was a few knuckleheads and the secret service is a very good organization. i believe the secret service is a very good organization, but we
7:07 am
need to find out if this is part of the culture of that organization. and if it is, we have got a very, very big problem from two standpoints. one, is the national security of the united states protected and is the president's life properly protected? >> based on what you know, do you believe it is part of the culture of the secret service? >> until right now the answer is i did not think it was part of the culture because when we had secretary napolitano before us on wednesday, they said that they have gone back 2 1/2 years and nothing has happened. then we have had these reports come out and we need an independent investigation and then what bothered me when i asked her about the independence of the inspector general, she said they had a memorandum of understanding between that and other divisions within her department and the secret service. well that looks to me like
7:08 am
that's not the independence that i expect of an inspector general and in order to get to the bottom of this and make sure that there is credibility to the investigation, we can't have the white house saying they looked at the operation last saturday and sunday and came to the conclusion there was nobody in the white house involved and then we have people like secretary napolitano telling us they have gone back two years and nothing has shown up and then we've had all of these allegations. we have to get to the bottom of the allegations to know whether our national security is being protected and the president is being properly protected. >> you are laying out why you want that independent investigation. who is responsible? is the secretary napolitano or head of the secret service? >> when i was first briefed by director sullivan on this and he told me -- my benchmark is the inspector general involved. i said when are you going to get
7:09 am
the inspector general involved? he said they are involved now. maybe they aren't involved in the independent way they should be involved. if it was just 12 knuckleheads involved as the president said, then i would say there are no problems but if it goes deeper, nothing has changed in washington if heads don't roll. >> whose head should roll? >> i'm not going to draw any conclusions on that. we have to make sure that the military people involved, the president's advance people, the communication office of the white house and the secret service from now on into the future, this culture can't persist. not only for the reputation of the united states but for the protection of the president and for our national security to be properly gauarded. >> great to have you here. thank you.
7:10 am
>> thank you, charlie. tuesday marks one year since osama bin laden was killed in a u.s. raid. sources tell cbs news there's been an increase in messages on jihadist extremist websites calling for terrorist attacks on that anniversary. >> there's no indication that any specific attacks are being planned. senior correspondent jon miller is here. good morning. >> good morning. >> no credible plans that we have discovered. >> no credible specific threat. i think when you look at the combination of factors which is one, we know al qaeda likes symbolic states and we found out that bin laden himself was advocating attacks on thanksgiving, christmas, new year's, july 4th, and the 9/11 anniversary. i think we have to add that may 2nd anniversary to that factor. >> two things that are interesting to me. number one, is what kind of attack are they capable of
7:11 am
carrying out? secondly, how much do we know now about their own intent on capability? >> well, i think intent is high. i think capability is low. this is talking about al qaeda central. that's because of the debilitating factors of drone strikes and loss of key leadership and death of bin laden but they've increasingly sought to leverage the intent of others and downgrade to their capability. what they advocated is you saw the attack in mumbai and attacks with homemade bombs and guns and a guy in france a couple weeks ago and they've been on those websites urging people to carry out something within your capabilities. that's why the government could not issue this alert to tell local law enforcement to pay close attention. >> what you lay out here is a
7:12 am
bunch of sort of random events and i would think it's hard to stay on top of all of that. what are they looking for in terms of determining the threat and where and when it could be? >> in terms of the joint terrorism task forces, combinations of fbi and police in fbi field offices across the country and there are 103 of those. that's major effort. they are going back at their human sources. they are going back to cases and looking for signs as anything started to move suddenly faster. has there been a purchase of weapons? if we are supposed it meet with that source in two weeks, let's meet this week. just in case, have you heard anything? the purpose of the warning and memo from dhs and fbi is to set local law enforcement on high alert to think if you seeing this that's a sign, report it in. there are individuals in a terror plot involving
7:13 am
conventional weapons, guns, and you also see that global effort coming. >> linked to al qaeda? >> that's not been determined. they weren't arrested for possession of firearms because of firearms but arrested in the course of a terrorism investigation. >> we also note the top bombmaker in yemen resurfaced after an assumption he was dead. >> right. he's one of the most creative bombmakers. one of the most dangerous people that we have seen. he is inventor of the underwear bomb which not only was on flight 252 headed for detroit which could have killed hundreds of people. he tried that bomb first with his brother as carrier to murder the head of saudi intelligence. his brother died. the head of saudi intelligence didn't. he's back to think of the next
7:14 am
thing. lawyers for john edwards get another chance to grill his main accuser. >> on thursday that former campaign staffer admitted taking hundreds of thousands of dollars from edwards' donors. we go to the courthouse in greensbo greensboro, north carolina. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, erica. good morning, charlie. yesterday was not a good day for the prosecution's key witness. the defense is painting him as a liar when he started making up stories when his meal ticket ran out. some testimony leaves jurors bored and distracted. that didn't last long. what started with a whimper ended with a roar. the defense's methodical and painstaking grilling of andrew young continued on thursday. defense attorney abbe lowell honed in on young's inconsisten inconsistencies. so much in fact that the judge at one point said we're about to beat a dead horse.
7:15 am
she warned lowell that his cross would be cut short if he didn't focus on the crux of the case. the near million from wealthy donors used to hide edwards' mistress and love child. you're going to get to the money, right, the judge asked. he did. under relentless questioning lowell got young to admit that much of the money that came from wealthy donors arrived after young requested it and not john edwards. and that the money went not to edwards' campaign but into construction of young's own house. young confessed we lost our sense of perspective and the house got more and more extravagant. lowell drove the point home asking young did any money go to mr. edwards or his family. young said no. most damaging to young's credibility was when he conceded that he got the late fred barron to reimburse him for expenses
7:16 am
mellon had already paid. >> he looked defeated. the truth is apparent that the case has money to do with money that went into his pocket and benefited him and not necessarily of the campaign. >> reporter: the cross will probably continue this morning. the defense in its opening statement, the defense attorney said that they would be following the money and that's what they're going to continue doing today. there are hundreds of thousands of dollars not accounted for. i think we're going to hear about that also this morning. >> despite mr. young's apparent difficulties and questioning of his own conduct, how is he as a witness and how is he withstanding this obvious attacks on his credibility? >> reporter: he was so comfortabcomfor comfortable during direct and that's usually the case. almost every answer has been i don't recall, which then has allowed the defense attorney
7:17 am
abbe lowell to pull out a statement he made or a document and contradict him. he's not been doing that well on the stand. of course the prosecution will have a chance to redirect and kind of rehabilitate him. pi was thinking about it. i really think that -- the prosecution has to know they had problems with andrew young. they put him on first to lay out the case. what they will do is bring in other witnesses to bolster his testimony. >> erin, thank you. a website created on behalf of george zimmerman has raised more than $200,000. zimmerman is charged with second-degree murder in the shooting death of florida teen trayvon martin. zimmerman's lawyer says he learned about the money this week and will inform the judge at a hearing today. that website is now offline. zimmerman is free on $150,000 bail. >> time to show you some of this morning's headlines from around the globe. britain's guardian reports united states is taking about
7:18 am
9,000 marines off the japanese okinawa, that key u.s. military base has been a source of tension between the united states and japan. about 10,000 marines will still be stationed on okinawa. "the new york times" has a story on how birds get ready to go. researchers at baylor university say a pigeon's brain cells record information from magnetic fields and use it as a biological compass. >> stunning story.

7:31 am
investigated extreme cia interrogation techniques such as water boarding and found little evidence that they helped stop terrorists. >> jose rodriguez was one of the creators of the cia enhanced interrogation program defending it in his first interview for this sunday's "60 minutes." >> reporter: central to the interrogation was sleep deprivation. one was kept awake for three straight days. >> sleep deprivation works and i'm sure leslie with all of the traveling that you do you have suffered from jet lag when you don't get a good night sleep for two or three days. it's very hard. >> reporter: you don't really mean to suggest it's like jet lag? you make it sound like it's benign when you say stuff like that. >> the feelings you get when you don't sleep. >> these were enhanced interrogation techniques. other people call it torture.
7:32 am
this wasn't benign in sense of the word. >> i'm not trying to say they were benign. the problem here is people don't understand that this was not about hurting anybody. this program was about instilling a sense of hopelessness and despair on the terrorist, on the detainee so that he would conclude on his own that he was better off cooperating with us. >> good morning. >> good morning. >> so you are impression of this guy with these remarkable candor? >> my goodness. jack nickholson in "a few good men." he was keeping america safe. don't you get it? he doesn't give an inch. not an inch. he's 100% sure that what he did in these harsh interrogations
7:33 am
was absolutely right. he never had a qualm. he doesn't have a shred of doubt what he did saved lives. no matter what question i asked. he came back in a self-assured way. >> he believes that those techniques had people tell them where other terrorists were located and they could go get them. >> that's what he says. of course there's a dispute over that. that's his position. his book and his interview with us is a 100% defense of these techniques and an argument they worked. >> is there a battle within government, fbi, cia, about what techniques work? >> absolutely. the fbi that had the first interrogation with the first terrorist detainee they captured, al qaeda person, the fbi claims that really everything important that he gave, he gave before the harsh techniques started when he was first captured. the fbi got the first crack at
7:34 am
him. they say all of the good stuff they got. this man, jose rodriguez, that was the one that said we need harsh techniques and went out and developed the program for all these things, it wasn't just waterboa waterboarding, sleep 2k deprivation, food manipulation, he said that program resulted in all kinds of discoveries and stoppings of plots and things like that. it's a dispute that we journalist can't resolve because these interrogations are still classified. we can't go and see yet what the truth is. >> what actually came out of either technique. i would imagine at this point given everything you said about him and his feelings, he's probably not very happy with the way things are handled at this moment with the current administration. >> oh no. he shows his contempt for president obama who stopped the interrogation program and said
7:35 am
it was torture. he denies. he says we went up to the border. right up to the border. everything was legal. of course he and the cia had gotten a legal opinion that what they were doing was legal. the waterboarding, sleep deprivation, everything. >> he really pushed for that because he wanted to make sure he had it in writing and that everyone signed off for it so he covered all of his bases. >> the cia was not going to hold the bag. to your point about the president, he says very dramatically that when president obama stopped the interrogation program, they moved over to the drones and so now we kill people and we never capture anybody anymore. it's take no prisoners. he says rather i thought dramatically, why is it more ethical to kill somebody than to do what we did?
7:36 am
>> why did you leave the cia? >> he left the cia because he had ordered the videotaping of the initial harsh interrogations. actually, they initially started the videotaping of these interrogations to prove that they weren't abusing these prisoners and they then had a record of these interrogations. he ordered them destroyed. and then there was an investigation of that. he was completely cleared in the investigation. >> now he has a book. >> now he has a book. >> and more on "60 minutes." the full report sunday night. >> thanks. a musical treasure is now coming out after 40 years. louis armstrong's last known trumpet performance and we will listen it to along with jazz great wynton marsalis. stay with us. you're watching "cbs this morning."
