7:05 am
halfway around the world five taliban leaders were released from guantanamo bay, cuba. those five men are also shown in the video arriving safely in qatar. the video has obvious propaganda value for the taliban. you may have noticed that cbs blurred the faces of those special forces soldiers in the field for security reasons. as for bowe bergdahl himself, he remains in stable condition, undergoing tests at a military hospital in germany. >> margaret thanks. critics who say sergeant bergdahl abandoned his post are getting louder today. jan crawford is in washington where bergdahl's fate is undecided. jan, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the army is saying the priority

7:08 am
you're supposed to be with your brothers and uphold your mission. if for whatever reason you can just walk off and you won't get in trouble at all. >> reporter: the military could seek administrative sanctions or disarm him dishonorable. if he is court martialed, the maximum sentence would be five years. >> the administration already apologized to some lawmakers left in the dark. one of them senator saxby chambliss, is the top republican on the intelligence committee. >> i got a phone call last night apologizing for not giving us advance warning of it. they said it had just been called to their attention that i had not received advance notification of this transaction taking place.

7:16 am
boxes. in regime-held areas, it was a dramatically different picture. i voted with my blood, this woman said because i love our president and our country. for assad, this election is not so much a show of democracy as it is a declaration of victory. over the past few months the regime has continued its relentless bombardment of rebel-held areas and appears to have found an alternative to banned weapons materials. chlorine gas, which can be used legitimately in water treatment, has also been used in recent bombing attacks. the poison gas burns the lungs and can be deadly. a cardiologist says that he has smelled the chlorine himself. the patients were coughing and choking up blood, he said.

7:33 am
million more expensive than initial estimates. partly because of unique glass design. it's made in europe and shipped under guard to the u.s. for framing before being shipped back to earn gland for install installationinstall. patrick kennedy. why use this glass design at all? we heard that the state department's assess team thought to use a different glass because it's too costly. >> i have not seen that report. i'll be glad to go look at it. however, the contract arrangements we have with the architects, the engineering, the construction firm drive to a fixed price. this is a good deal. >> u.s. embassies weren't always so chic. in the bush years the state department offices had standards, small, medium and large designs for most embassies

7:36 am
report. >> if it takes longer, it's going to cost more. and if it costs more and takes long, it puts people at risk waiting for their embassy to be built. >> kennedy disagrees with the findings. >> we have reviewed it and feel very, very comfortable that our use of the design get us to the security we northeast need and the fumgs alt we new year's eve. >> congressman has called for more on this. they're a little more complicated to build an maintain. >> what's the answer. >> >> new construction. they're always overbudget but those numbers are gagging 1. $00 million over budget is scary. >> yeah. if those embassies cost more
