blackmail, the agents could become vulnerable. do you see that as realistic? >> i don't. and the reason i don't is because we practice an extreme form of operational security. as i believe was in reports and even in the director's testimony, none of the women knew who the men in cartagena were. there was no information about presidential protection in their rooms. no radios, no guns. the women did not know who these individuals were. >> john miller will have more on his interview with gregory stokes later on on "cbs this morning." well, coming up in sport, kiss cam controversy. a women apparently jilted on a stadium video screen gets her revenge. revenge. save and get more free! and shop the new tommy bahama® pets collection and help support homeless pets. 5% of every tommy bahama purchase goes to petsmart charities. exclusively at petsmart®.
