7:00 am
happy. we begin with your world 90 seconds. >> after osama bin laden is still wounded, you shot him twice. >> a handful times. >> an ex-navy s.e.a.l. gives cbs news a firsthand account of the historic raid. >> you shot pictures of his face
7:01 am
in a profile. can you desibe >> can you describe what they looked like? >> pretty gruesome. >> when you say gruesome what are you talking about? >> he had a wound in the head. so that gruesome. >> we will demand a fair contract today. we demand a fair contract now. >> more than 26,000 chicago public schoolteachers and support staff are set to go on strike. >> negotiations stalled over several issues including health benefits, job security and also classroom conditions. >> this is not the right thing to do to children. it's unnecessary. it's avoidable. and it's wrong. pizza shop owner puts the squeeze on the president. >> bear hug, man hug? imagine a huge plane part falling from the sky in your neighborhood. it happened in seattle. look at this. look. it took seconds to turn an eight-story building in texas
7:02 am
into rubble. and it's off the cross bar and through! 63 yards! >> serena has done it! >> once again the u.s. open champion. >> we get a tebow out of this one? >> we do. >> how hard i've worked to get to this point, it definitely feels good. it's special. you voted for it. >> on "cbs this morning." >> you reported the team that killed osama bin laden and the first thing you do when you get back to the united states is go to taco bell. >> two tacos and a bean burrito. welcome to "cbs this morn ing. "in a "60 minutes" interview one of the navy s.e.a.l.s who killed osama bin laden revealed never been known step by step details of the information. the amount of information and
7:03 am
drama description were unprecedented. >> the s.e.a.l. who wrote the book calls himself mark owen. in an interview with scott pelley he describes approaching bin laden's room after the scene kimm killed khalid. >> give me a sense of the scene. are they yelling, charging up the stairs? >> it's not like the movies. movies make it out to be loud and crazy and everybody's yelling. this is what we do. we're really good at it. it's quiet, calm, like we've done it a million times before. we know the saying. don't run to your death. nice and slow. we head up the stairs. >> khalid is dead on this landing. the point man is stepping past khalid. now you're number two in the stack. you're right behind the point man. >> yep. i kind of look around, hear him take a couple shots. see a head, somebody disappear
7:04 am
back into the room. >> the point man had seen someone stick his head out a door? >> uh-huh. >> shot him just the way he'd shot khalid. >> yep. >> what did you do then? >> inside the room i could see a body laying on the ground. over him was two females. real close to the door. they looked up and saw the point man. he steps in to the room, literally rushes the two women, grabs one under each arm and pushes them back against the far wall so if they did have a suicide vest on and they did below themselves up, that they wouldn't -- that that wouldn't affect the rest of the guys. >> but it would have killed him. >> yep. >> you stepped into the room and saw the man lying on the floor. what did you do? >> myself and those next in, we both engaged him several more times then rolled off and then continued clearing the room. >> when you say engaged him, what do you mean? >> fired. >> you shot him? >> yeah. >> he's still moving?
7:05 am
>> a little bit. but you couldn't see his arms, couldn't see his hands. so he could have had something, could have had a hand grenade or something underneath his chest. >> so after osama bin laden is wounded, he's still moving, you shot him twice? >> a handful of times. >> a handful of times. and the s.e.a.l. in the stack behind you also shot osama bin laden and at that point his body was still? >> yes. >> did you recognize him? >> no. you know, everybody thinks it was like you know it's him. no. to us at that time, it could have been anybody. maybe this is another brother. maybe this is a bodyguard. it doesn't matter. the point is, is to just continue clearing. >> so what is the potential fallout from the interview and the book? senior correspondent john miller who worked as assistant director of national intelligence at the time of the osama bin laden raid is with us this morning. good morning. >> good morning. >> you heard classified briefings at the time. >> i sat in on the briefing the next day by the director of the cia, leon panetta.
7:06 am
i sat in on the briefing the following day by the director of national intelligence. >> having done that and then having watched this interview last night, what did you learn that you didn't know? >> this was a fascinating interview. those were fascinating briefings. a don't get me wrong. but the briefings in the intelligence community were all about putting together the little pieces that -- that came to the thread that was pulled to that address in pakistan. so from an intelligence standpoint, they were fascinating. but there's really no substitute for hearing the story from someone who was in the room, fired the shots. this was more about the tactical end than the intelligence end. >> before we go to the tactical end, it was remarkable how the intelligence team worked. in preparing them to get them there. >> i met with that group of people about 3 1/2 weeks before this raid. and they are some of the most amazing, dedicated analysts in
7:07 am
the entire intelligence community. there was a conference room full of them. we went over a whole discussion i can't get into here. the one thing they asked for when i was leaving, they said do you have any more footage of osama bin laden walking around from the time you interviewed him? i walked out with my right-hand guy who was a veteran member of the al qaeda team. and i said, gee, why would they want more footage of him walking around? he said, they must have somebody walking around. >> what had been the reaction of other navy s.e.a.l.s? >> it's been mixed. there are supporters of mark owen who say this is a story that needed to be told and he did a great job. i spent the night on the phone last night with former s.e.a.l.s who were talking to current s.e.a.l.s who said they have three essential problem. number one, you don't reveal classified information. the defense department says they take the position he did. number two, the other s.e.a.l. books out there were individual stories of individual s.e.a.l.s. lone survivor.
7:08 am
this is a story of 23 other men. the question is, did they get a vote in somebody else going forward and telling their whole story? because now even if they go through the process, they can't really. >> john miller, thank you. we're going to have reaction from the defense secretary, leon panetta. he is going to be here on cbs this morning. that's tomorrow. this morning thousands of public schoolteachers in chicago, the nation's third largest school district rb are on strike. it is a huge headache for city leaders and hundreds of thousands of families. dean reynolds is outside walter peyton college prep school in chicago. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. as you can see behind me, the pickets are on the line having arrived a couple of hours ago. but, frankly, a teachers' strike is just about the last thing this city and some 350,000 public school students, really needed. talks to reach a four-year contract broke off late sunday night. meaning the city's 25,000 unionized teachers will go on
7:09 am
strike this morning. the first such walkout in this city in a quarter century. >> we will walk the picket line. we will talk to parents. we demand a fair contract now. >> reporter: chicago's public schoolteachers make an average of $71,000 a year. but both sides said they were close to an agreement on wages. what apparently remains, though, are issues involving teacher performance and accountability. which the union sees as a threat to job security. about 45,000 students who attend the city's charter schools will not be affected by the walkout. their schools will stay open. chicago mayor rahm emanuel, who has already forced teachers to lengthen their school days, said he was disappointed by what he called a strike of choice by the union. >> our kids belong in the classroom. the negotiators belong at the negotiating table and finish their job. >> reporter: a dispute involving public sector employees would erupt in chicago was somewhat
7:10 am
surprising given the generous packages unions here have won in the past. in addition a teachers' strike in the hometown of a president who stresses the importance of education could also be seen as something of a political embarrassment. now, chicago will keep open some 140 regular schools like this one behind me today staffed by nonunion personnel. basically, they'll be there to hand out breakfast and lunch. in addition, the parks, the libraries, and the churches in the community will be serving what the mayor calls safe havens for the children who suddenly find themselves out of school. >> all right. dean reynolds, thank you. now to presidential politics. president obama has matched governor mitt romney in fundraising for the first time in four months. new figures show the president's campaign raised $114 million in august. $3 million more than the romney campaign. as bill plante reports, both
7:11 am
candidates were in full campaign mode over the weekend. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, norah. the president left charlotte on the momentum of his convention and he took his attack on the road against mitt romney, trying to keep romney on the defensive. but on the campaign trail, you never know what's going to happen. president obama got a different kind of post-convention lift sunday. on the campaign trail in ft. pierce, florida. >> man, are you a power lifter or what? >> reporter: on the ground the president was campaigning hard in the key swing state, arguing that mitt romney's plan to cut taxes and balance the budget simply does not add up. >> you've got to do the math, because when my opponents were asked about it today, they couldn't. it was, like, two plus one equals five. >> reporter: the president was reacting to appearances by romney and vice presidential nominee paul ryan on the sunday political shows. ryan was on the defensive when he appeared on "face the nation" anchored by "cbs this morning"
7:12 am
co-host norah o'donnell. >> there isn't a romney plan that's been specific about which loop holes he'd close. >> we can lower taxpayers on everybody. >> reporter: for his part romney was also defending his plan. he pushed back on the argument from democrats that republicans will increase taxes on the middle class. >> the specifics of these, which is -- those principles i described are the heart of my policy, and i've indicated as well that contrary to what the democrats are saying, i'm not going to increase the tax burden on middle-income families. it would absolutely be wrong to do that. >> reporter: romney says that his tax plan would cut rates by 20% across the board and that his policies would encourage hiring and grow the economy. norah, charlie? >> thank you. governor romney surprised some people on sunday, saying he would keep two key provisions of the president's health care law. they involve coverage for pre-existing conditions and
7:13 am
allowing parents to keep adult children on their insurance. jan crawford is in boston this morning. jan, governor romney said i'm not getting rid of all of health care reform. so is he going to repeal obama care or not? >> reporter: well, yes. i mean, that is something that he says at every campaign rally. gets huge applause. that law remains unpopular. norah, actually what he said yesterday got a lot of pick up but it wasn't anything new. he's been saying this for a couple years now. he likes those two provisions in the law. they were in his massachusetts health care law. he's not going to walk away from that. president obama's health care reform law, replace it with these other provisions that remain very popular in the polls. >> jan, it looks like that in august the president's team raised $114 million to $111 million for governor romney. what's the significant of that? >> reporter: well, i mean, this is kind of a real downer, i think, for the romney campaign
7:14 am
here in boston. because this is the first time the president has outraised romney since april. they really like this narrative we've seen over the last three months that romney is just crushing the president in fundraising. this really kind of stops that storyline right in its tracks. of course, romney still raised over $100 million. it's just kind of a downer, i think, psychologically, charlie. >> thank you, jan. with us illinois senator dirk durbin, senate majority whip. welcome. what do you think of romney saying on these two provisions he wants to keep them, two things i would assume most people support. >> it would be popular. the part of health care republicans could never explain. 1.6 million young people are covered under their parents plan. it's a good idea. young people come out of college looking for a job. they get their first job that doesn't have health insurance they can stay on the plan. that's part of obama care. the second part is one governor romney should understand from massachusetts. the concept of insurance is to bring into the pool healthy
7:15 am
people as well as sick people. if you just bring in sick people when they're sick, it doesn't work. that's why the idea of an individual mandate, personal responsibility, was part of massachusetts and part of the obama plan. >> i thought the whole point is you can't get insurance companies to bring in people with pre-existing conditions unless you broaden the base. >> that's it sf. >> because they're expensive. people with pre-existing conditions are expensive. that was the whole point of obama care. to get more people pre-existing coverage you had to expand the base and mandate. >> governor romney knows it because he put the mandate in place in massachusetts for the very same reason. this is called adverse selection. if you just wait to buy insurance when you're sick, it opportunity work. he knows that. now he's trying to take the popular part, coverage of people with pre-existing conditions, and not acknowledge the basis for it which is to bring everybody in as obama care does. he's picking and choosing the pieces he likes, but they don't fit. >> the impression was politically that the obama
7:16 am
health care reform was unpopular in the country. now you have this debate going on. are the republicans going to emphasize the economy or are they going to be on dangerous ground if the debate becomes health care? >> well, i think health care is an important issue. but i think the economy is still the overriding issue. this is the one people will look to. it gets back to what bill clinton said at the election. the arithmetic of the positions. of romney and ryan. norah, you raised this yesterday with congressman ryan. they are arguing against things that congressman ryan has voted for. they're trying to pick out pooss of obama care that they look. this selective approach, one from column a and one from column b doesn't make for much of a campaign. i think they're under the fences. as bill clinton said, the arithmetic is not on their side. >> despite all of that this economy is still going -- this election is still going to be about the economy and jobs. we had a very disappointing jobs report on friday. just 96,000 new jobs. well below expectations. how does president obama and the democrats get elected given that
7:17 am
there's still so much pain and anxiety out there? >> still 30 straight months of private sector job creation improvement. which is what we want. we like to see a faster pace. a slight down tick in the unemployment rate. we want to see, as i said, a quicker pace. but we put the president's approach, which is showing positive results, against a romney theory, which doesn't even compute. it doesn't calculate. the arithmetic doesn't work. we think that's what the voters will come into. take a look at this and say after the all the rhetoric's set aside, why would we stop an improving economy with president obama's leadership? >> quickly turning to local politics in chicago. public school strike. >> 25 years since it's happened. really devastating. when you think about the impact on families, particularly on the children. i understand what the mayor is trying to do. he's trying to say to karen lewis with the teachers union, roll up your sleeves. let's sit down and get it done. that's kpexactly what needs to occur. >> in the end it's the children who suffer. >> absolutely. what are you going to do with
7:18 am
these poor kids now? parents are trying to figure out day care, who's going to watch the kids. they should be in school. >> how long will it last? >> hard to say. the sooner it ends, the better for chicago. >> thank you, senator. time to show you some of this morning's headlines. "the new york times" reports the government is selling shares in aig. the treasury department plans to sell at least $18 billion w bil of aig shares, giving up its majority share in the company. the pressurery expects to make a profit. the sun sentinel of fot. lauderdale says a veteran police officer taking part in president obama's motorcade was killed on sunday. he was hit by a pickup truck as he was preparing to close down a highway.
