7:04 am
mandatory evacuation. as arthur approaches the outer banks of north carolina may be in for a beating. with 25 coastal counties already in a state of emergency, governor pat mccrory is warning people to take this storm seriously. >> i want to reiterate don't put your stupid hat on. most injuries occur right before a storm or right after a storm. >> reporter: but some of the people we spoke to aren't getting the message. >> enjoying the sun, the sand water. >> reporter: and maybe a tropical storm or hurricane? >> i'm not moving. i'm not running. you know what i mean? a little bit of rain a little bit of wind never hurt anybody. >> reporter: more than a little rain impacted as arthur was felt. now this strengthening storm continues up the east coast. many enjoying a holiday getaway are considering coming home early. >> this is our vacation for the season. we don't want to cut it too short. you know it's fourth of july

7:06 am
7:07 am
that hasn't happened since the teblg tech book in 2000. >> security is tightening at overseas airports with direct flights to the u.s. intelligence officials are wor bead al qaeda's efforts to create a bomb that can slip through checkpoints and they're warning about a terror threat from western militants trained in the middle east. mike morell is in washington, he's a former deputy director of the cia. mike, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, anthony. good morning, mark rhett. >> mike, where is this threat coming from? >> sounds to me as if it's coming from one of three places.
7:08 am
the first possibility is yemen where we have seen al qaeda in yemen try to bring down a u.s. airliner on three different occasions over the past five years. the second possibility is from al qaeda in syria. as you know there's a large number of foreign fighters who have gone to syria. six to 7,000 of them. some might be thinking of coming home and conducting terrorist attacks. and the third possibility which is the one i really worry about is the coming together of al qaeda in syria with al qaeda in yemen. that would be the worst scenario here. >> mike, some intelligence officials are telling cbs that this is an al qaeda group out of syria. officials have been warning about the potential blowback for well over a year now. how prepared is the u.s.? >> what usually happens to foreign fighters who go to battlefields like this is they end up dying on the battlefield. that's what happened in yemen,
7:09 am
that's what happened in somalia. so most of them never come home. but so many have gone to syria. 100 from the united states. thousands from western europe. some percentage of them will come home and it is very difficult to monitor them because we don't even know they're there because it is so easy to slip into syria across the turkish border. >> i was in europe last week and sources were telling me there is real concern not just about tracking but also targeting. when you have your civilian citizens, they have got rights. you can't arrest without warrant and can't target them. how hard is it to protect against this kind of threat? >> the reason i'm worried about the coming together of al qaeda in yemen with al qaeda in syria is the guys in syria, right, the foreign fighters who have gone to syria can travel freely to western europe and then to the united states. they either have u.s. passports or they live in european
7:10 am
countries where they don't need a visa to come to the united states, so very difficult to track them. and then the reason you worry about the yemen piece is because of the very sophisticated bombs that the yemen group is capable, so you bring those together and really worry about somebody getting on an airliner with some sort of explosive device who can travel to the united states. >> mike there are reports that this increased security is in response to intelligence about nonmetallic bomb that say can go undetected through airports. what are you hearing about this? >> so that's -- that's the yemen piece. it is al qaeda in yemen who has the capability to produce these nonmetallic bombs. so it's a couple of ounces of liquid explosives and then a nonmetallic initiation device and so when you go through an airport screener it is very difficult to detect because there is no metal and the only group that i'm aware of that's capable of that kind of
7:11 am
explosive device is in yemen, and one particular guy who does that for a living a guy named assiri. a colorado woman is being held in a denver jail this morning. she's charged with trying to help the militant group isis. 19-year-old shannon maureen conley is a convert to islam, and according to federal court documents unsealed yesterday, she wanted to start a holy war over sea its. conley was arrested at denver international airport in april. she was allegedly headed to syria to meet a tunisian man she met online to claimed to fight for isis. conley first drew the attention of the fbi when she started talking about terrorism at a church in arvada colorado. president obama discussed the insurgent threat in iraq with saudi king abdullah on wednesday and a saudi tv network said the country moved 30,000

7:18 am
sin thetynthetically when you shouldn't be. we know he failed a test in 2003. >> reporter: after the 2007 season rodriguez denied to "60 minutes" he had ever used performance-enhancing drugs. >> have you ever used steroids human growth hormone or any other performance-enhancing substance? >> no. >> have you ever been tempted to use any of those things? >> no. >> reporter: the book says rodriguez got another exemption in 2008 this time for a drug that can boost testosterone levels. in a statement major league baseball said all decisions regarding whether a player shall receive a therapeutic use exemption are made by the independent program administrator in consultation with outside medical experts with no input by either the office of the commissioner or the players association. the process is confidentially administered by the ipa. the book's authors say proof that rodriguez got the exemptions are in the transcripts of his confidential

new research calls into question the benefit of a routine back pain treatment. millions of americans receive steroid instructionsjectionsinjections. shots in your back sounds painful to me. what are they supposed to do? >> these shots in particular they looked for the shots in the spinal stenosis. about 10 million or 11 million of these shots are given every year, and they look at it for this one disorder and it happens when the open spaces of your spine charts to shut down. that leads to symptoms of pain in your arms and weakness tingling and if it's in your low back it can cause pain in your legs. >> you get the shot and you were supposed to feel what? >> the shots are called epidural

8:06 am
last resort but we wish the steroid injections had some benefit. >> and i am beginning to think exercise cures everything. >> i know right. but in the meantime exercise is not what the insurance companies are saying to do they are saying go out and get the instructions and that's not good advice? >> that's an important point, and before a person has surgery a lot of insurance companies say you have to try the injections first, and the study is calling into question whether or not the injections are beneficial so maybe we will see insurance companies changing their policy on that. >> thank you so much. since world war ii ended 12 men have been president, and president obama is on the bottom of the list. 33% of americans rate him the worst president as the war, and 28% give that distinction to george w. bush and 13% say

8:22 am
>> why are we so bad at taking vacations? >> several reasons. one, people are in post post-traumatic stress from recession and they still believe if they come back to work and miss -- after missing a few days, there'll be no seat at the desk they used to sit in. that's number one. >> and employers don't discourage that thought at all. >> not at all. which is one of my pieces which is stockholm syndrome. employers are telling pleas we don't really love it when you vacation, i've been chatting with all of you and folks in the room over here and nobody takes vacation. so clearly employers are not making it a positive thing to do. and then finally people really do feel overwhelmed because you're expected to do more with less and you genuinely feel i can't leave. so that's the stockholm syndrome part of it. we start to identify with the oppressed. >> i'm thinking i need to give you a drink with an umbrella in it. you look like you -- please let

8:32 am
most extraordinary part of his jury may may be what he's accomplished since. good morning. >> good morning. you don't often meet mike people like michael morgan. he walked away from prison without bitterness. instead he wanted to change the law. we wanted to see what michael had made of his life and the freedom he fought so hard for. at the end of a small lake tucked away in east texas, the air smells of pine. a warm breeze carryies across the water and michael morton relishes his new home. >> i get to watch the world wake up every day and i get to do that on my terms, not anybody else's. >> reporter: it could not be more different from the cell where michael spent much of his time in prison. >> i've lost so much. it takes very little to make me happy. i'm married now, and my wife loves its that i think she's a
8:33 am
great cook. she said after what you've been eating i could serve you anything. >> what is happiness for you? >> happiness is normalcy. i'm not in that cage anymore. >> reporter: michael morton's nightmare began in 1986 when his wife christine was bludgeoned to death in their home in austin, texas. despite no direct evidence linking him to the crime, he quickly became the prime suspect. at his trial, williamsson county district attorney ken anderson painted a piks of him as a violently sexually depraved murderer who showed no remorse for his crime. >> it got sickening to watch him cry at the wrong time and he only seemed to cry for himself r the jury believed anderson and sent morton to prison frn life. he lost his wife his freedom, and now his son eric. this home video was taken just months before they were
8:34 am
separated. a heartbreaking moment morton described for us on "60 minutes. ". >> they literally pulled my son out of my arms. he was screaming for me. his little hands were out and he was being pulled away. it was one of the worst parts. >> reporter: eric was 3 years old when his father was arrested and grew up believing he was a murderer. over the years he gradually erased him from his life and even changed his name. so the news that dna evidence had proven morton was innocent was at first hard for eric to accept. >> i was a little scared because it just meant you know something was going to change. >> reporter: everything was going to change. >> pretty much. >> reporter: and it has. we met eric and his dad at the houston home of his lawyer and close friend john. it was here on this bench in november 2011 that eric and his father were reunited.
8:35 am
they had not seen each other for 15 years. >> the cool thing about us getting back together is nobody nobody can tell him the things about his mother they can and that's been a real strong link between us. >> so in a way she's brought you two together even in depth. >> yeah. >> reporter: not long after morton came out of prison eric and his wife maggie had their first child, a baby girl. they called her christine after his mother. what was it like for you the first time you held your granddaughter? >> oh man. i thought she was the golden child, you know? everything she did was perfect. but i also cannot not see my late wife's eyes in her too because she had those same eyes. >> reporter: christine is now 2
8:36 am
years old and has a little brother patrick. they live a few hours away from their grandparents who try to see them as much as they can. >> every day's good. there's not much we could do that i'd be disappointed in. >> you can't believe you're sitting next to him. >> yeah. >> it's quite incredible. the last time we met, you were just getting to know him again. >> barely yeah. in fact, it was a little overwhelming because i was getting to know everyone. >> reporter: he credits john and the team for his freedom. he and his attorney say he would have never have been convicted if his former prosecutor ken anderson had not withheld evidence during his trial. they worked hard to see him held accountable, and last year anderson was sentenced to prison for ten days, resigned from the bench, and was banned from
8:37 am
practicing law in texas. it was regarded as an unprecedented outcome, but it was not morton's only victory. he also lobbied successfully for a new law that requires entire files get handed over, not just evidence that the prosecution deems favorable to the defense. it's called the michael morton act. >> before that the prosecutors were the gatekeepers. they got to decide i may or may not want to turn this over. >> and now? >> now, they must turn over all offense reports which are the investigation of the police officers and the deputies. they have to turn those over, the complete file. it's a different world now. >> reporter: morton has also been the subject of an award-winning documentary. >> there's a lot of evil residing within these walls. >> reporter: and written a book about his life pub lived by cbs subsidiary simon & schuster.
8:38 am
he and his wife cynthia are now living the life he was denied for so long at the end of that small lake in east texas. >> being in the water is like flying, and so water's kind of freedom. >> are you at peace? >> oh, yeah. i'm a blessed man. >> last year morton saw his wife's real killer sentenced to life in prison. that man mark allen norwood has since been charged with another murder that took place another month after he killed christine morton. meanwhile the innocence project is conducting a review of all cases by ken anderson in the county. >> such a great story for michael morton. i'm so glad fortunate that he was people believed in him. how difficult has it been for the father and son to reconnect? i'm have interested in that relationship. >> that's been a fragile and somewhat painful journey. michael spent all those years in
8:39 am
prison with one thought, to see his son again and yet eric spent his whole life trying to erase his father from his life. it shook his foundation. everything he believed in was not true. it's like telling us the world is round and somebody else saying it is not. >> you have to go bark on o all your thought sneefrsing. everything. it would seem a little cold but at first he didn't want him. he didn't want to have anything to do with him. >> how did he meet his new wife? >> at church. >> it's funny. they went out for coffee a few times. she said he was so dense she had to ask him out. they are very very happy. >> they look it. it's great story. thank you, lara.

want to know what the weather is going to be like this weekend. >> of course, the 4th of july coming up the fog a big concern. we are seeing some outside today just patchy fog this morning over coit tower. looks like a little less coverage though with the patchy fog so lots of sunshine as we head into the afternoon. but i think a little more breezy today. a cold front is passing on by. that will help to kick up the winds into the latter part of the afternoon. still the temperatures will be moving up into the 80s in many of the valleys about 80 degrees in san jose. 74 degrees in fremont. 66 degrees in san francisco. even a little sunshine but cooler along the coastline in the 60s. next couple of days, we'll begin to warm things up looking like a very nice 4th of july. getting hot over the weekend though. some of those temperatures stretching into the 90s before we cool down the middle of next week. "kcbs traffic" is coming up next hey there. did you select these things on purpose? not a color found nature. there's nothing wrong with that. i can hear your arteries clogging. ok. no. this is tap water. i can't let you buy this. oh. crystal geyser please. crystal geyser. bottled at the mountain source.
