swept across northern iraq last year. but it looks more like a ragtag army than a well-disciplined military. and on the outskirts of the city, they're already running into trouble. pushed back by isis suicide bombers and roadside mines. if they cannot take tikrit it may slow down plans to recapture mosul. iraq's second biggest city which lies just to the north. isis seized tikrit in june. massacring more than 1,000 iraqi government soldiers but gaining support from many locals who have now been offered amnesty by the iraqi authorities. there have been no u.s. air strikes in this operation. even though they've proved decisive against isis elsewhere. but iraq shiite muslim militia supported by iranian forces that have crossed the border and are now reportedly commanding the

judge to impose two years' proegsation and a $40,000 fine. that's comparable to what form other national security adviser sandy berger received for trying to steal classified documents from the national archives. lying to the fbi is a more serious felony. but the justice department did not charge petraeus with that crime. apparently because there was no recording of the alleged lie. petraeus admitted to giving broadwell eight black books in which he took notices while serving as commander of u.s. forces in afghanistan. his notes including the identities of covert office war strategy, intelligence capabilities and discussions with the president. when confronted by fbi agents petraeus maintained he never disclosed any classified information to broadwell. after their affair was revealed petraeus resigned from the cia and signed a document stating, there is no classified material in my possession. even though those notebook was

still stored in an unlocked desk drawer at his home. this guilty play may not be the end of it for petraeus. the cia's inspector general had been investigating whether he misused his security detail in carrying on the affair with broadwell. and the army could still take action against him for having mishandled classified information while on active duty. charlie? >> david, thanks. much of the west is dry this morning but a massive storm system stretches from the rockies to new england. it could disrupt travel across the country. chunks of ice jammed the creek outside pittsburgh overnight. flooding some roads. meteorologist danielle niles of our boston station wbz is tracking the latest storm threat. good morning. >> good morning. tracking a storm that will impact travel on the ground and in the air from the southern plains to the northeast. a little bit of everything with this. a battle of colder air and mild air across the southeast. snow on the way from the texas panhandle stretching back up through the tennessee valley and into the ohio valley as well.

good morning to our viewers in the west. it is wednesday, march 4th, 2015. welcome back to "cbs this morning." here's a look at "eye opener at 8." it gave her more control over her account and she'lled it from public search. >> the fbi has a man in custody, after five shootings in the past two weeks, the most recent near the national security agency. >> this federal report calls out the ferguson police department for routinely and repeatedly violating people's civil rights. >> it almost looked like a state

of the union address. it's a test of iraq's ability to defeat isis which now controls around a third of this country. the jurors and alternates said they were open to imposing the death penalty. the trial is expected to last months. he was known as a fighter and that fighting spirit resurfaced. >> this wasn't some guys having beers and making fun. these were people that were malicious. don't like me and tried to destroy my daughter. >> china will soon begin casting for its own version of "saturday night live." yes. there's going to be a "saturday night live" in china. and apparently it's so much like "snl," even the chinese version won't have any asian performers. this morning's "eye opener at 8" is presented by subway. ready seven. cue charlie. >> i'm charlie rose with gayle king and norah o'donnell. in israel this morning, prime

minister benjamin netanyahu is rejecting president obama's criticism of his speech to criticism congress. the prime minister said tuesday prime mini a potential nuclear deal with n iran, quote, paves iran's path to the bomb. the president said netanyahu offered no alternatives. >> members of congress gave netanyahu 26 standing ovations during his 40-minute speech. dozens of democrats chose to boycott the address. >> cbs news contributor and "wall street journal" columnist peggy noonan is here. noo good morning. >> good morning. s >> first of all, what did you morning. think the speech? >> i think it was a ten strike. it achieved from netanyahu a wanted to achieve. achieved it made him look very good back goo home and it allowed him to make a case against a nuclear deal a that he thinks will be unhelpfule and even dangerous. he did it well. >> what's his plan? >> what's his plan? we >> yes. >> >> to get re-elected and scuttle a deal that he thinks is no cted good. >> really scuttle the deal

rather than having an rathe alternative way to limit their native nuclear program. >> well i think in general, he has been against the idea of trusting iran.ir one of the interesting things about the speech yesterday was that he didn't just make a case make against the deal as we understand it, that the administration is attempting to negotiate. he made a case against iran. aga he said it is a terror state. terror it is gobbling up other states. it cannot be trusted.t be so i think he wanted to implant that thought and make that and argument and i think he did it think forcefully. >> the president said he didn't offer any new or viable a alternatives. does he have a point with that? >> oh, he kind of has a point. i think b.b.'s answer is look is his viable alternative is don't his v go down this path. the plan as we understand it is not a good one. he also spoke about this plan will only last ten years and sun

sets after that. that allows iran to do what he wants to do, which he thinks t can is make nuclear weapons that can be used aggressively. i think he can say that's his plan to not go down certain roads that would be unhelpful. >> how astounding is it that he before spoke before congress when there such appears to be a clear riff between barack obama and bench betw b. netanyahu? how do they begin to repair that? ink >> i think relations between this administration and israel have been bad. i don't see them getting much better any time soon.e i suppose the good news for the administration is that this speech is over and they get to go forward and try to make a better deal. i'm not sure they can make a n mak better deal when there's already so much opposition to the deal. oppos do you know what i mean? there's almost a little poison was put on the negotiation, i think, when b.b. made his case.

>> peggy noonan. thank you. >> thank you. when first on "cbs this morning," major league baseball says it's rolling out a first of its kind plan to fight an epidemic of arm injuries in young players. for arm jeff glor previews his story for "60 minutes" sports. >> good >> last season 31 pitchers had tommy john surgery, an average of more than one per team. arm injuries that lead to surgery, knock players out for a k year, at best they end careerses at worst. baseball's been criticized by rst, outsiders for not aggressively searching for solutions.rned as we learned firsthand, it like t looks like that is changing. major league's baseball s insatiable need for speed sends ts young baseball prospects across looking the country looking for an edge. >> 96. >> from ron wolforth ranch to s'

on information. we'll watch a group of pitchers ch them for five years, who got hurt, who didn't get hurt. that will help give us information we didn't have in althy. the past on those injuries. >> this study will not be . complete until 2020. so don't expect a rash of arm injuries to end right away. but both house and wolforth say it's a huge first step. >> indeed. jeff thanks. that study will indeed be news. we're looking forward to that. see jeff's full report on "60 minutes" sports on showtime a jeff's division of cbs. r ahead on "cbs this morning,"es a controversy in 3d. the debate over vanity ultrasounds is what they're call for would-be mothers. dr. tara narula is in studio 57 to show us if mothers are

♪ in our morning rounds an image of controversy. there may be no greater thrill than seeing your baby for the first time. know it was for me. since the lay 1970s that first look often comes courtesy of an ultrasound. improving technology is giving people a much sharper view of the fetus. dr. tara narula joins us. >> there's no doubt ultrasounds provide doctors with vital informations about the condition of an unborn child. but as the images get kleer and

three-dimensional, more and more women are going for keepsake ultrasounds. that has some doctors and the fda waving warning flags. >> let us see you, son. >> 26-year-old donquesha williams is getting an ultrasound. >> look at my baby. >> but this one isn't at her doctor's office. it's at the lakewood center mall in southern california at a place called meet your baby. >> these are going to go in my photo album. i get to see him like you know i'm excited and everything. >> meet your baby is one of a growing trend of facilities offering 3d fetal images of unborn children as keepsaeks. >> that's a full schedule. >> michael horran is the owner. >> we use the same machine as the doctor. our techs spend more time to get more out of the visit. >> more time and multiple visits is what concerns the fda and some doctors. ultrasounds are known to raise

the temperature of exposed tissue and can create small bubbles known as cavatation. >> i don't think women should abuse medical technology for entertainment purposes. >> reporter: the fda says the long-term effects of tissue heating and cavatation are not known, therefore, ultrasound scans should be done only when there is a medical need. regarding ultrasound machines they are not intended for over-the-counter sale or use. the fda strongly discourages their use for creating fetal keepsake images and videos. >> i can't even believe what i'm looking at. >> reporter: still, the appeal is obvious. >> oh, my god, those cheeks. >> reporter: 3d ultrasounds give mothers to be an uncanny picture of their unborn child, a far cry from the original chalky black and while often hard to discern pictures produced by 2d

ultrasounds. >> do you feel like it gives you more of an emotional response? >> very. i felt emotionally connected with the 2d but i almost cried here. >> that is amazing. >> it's a bonding experience. >> reporter: evelyn orozco owns 3d imaging service in new york city. she has three branch offices with plans for a fourth. while she performs diagnostic ultrasounds for a variety of medical conditions as her website illustrates, 3d pre-natal images are the big sell. >> all of a sudden it's not a black and white. you see the feature and your baby's face. the biggest thing here is the nose. everybody talks about the nose. whose nose is that? is it daddy's nose or mommy's nose? >> reporter: some worry it could provide women with a false sense of security. >> you may feel i've gone to the mall. i've gone to one of these outposts where i can have an ultrasound done and everything seems to be fine.

i'm in great shape. and on the other hand a woman may go for a vanity ultrasound where they may detect an abnormality and there isn't a professional on site that can explain the abnormality. >> reporter: orozco says she requires all of her clients to be under the care of an obgyn. >> this does not replace anything your doctor is sending you for. >> reporter: do you ever have any patients asking you for advice? >> yes. but, again, i'm not a doctor. the biggest thing i tell everybody, make sure you drink plenty of water. that's a great question for your doctor. >> reporter: at leaf one state can be connecticut, has banned the use of prenatal ultrasounds for nonmedical use. it's important to note though used properly under a doctor's care ultrasounds are not dangerous and they're an important tool in prenatal care. >> really interesting. >> i certainly get at pale but you raise good points for people to think about. i would not have given that a

thought. >> the concern is ultrasounds are used for less than 20 minutes. when you're going for prolonged sessions, frequent imaging, we don't know the long-term effects. >> at this point it's just a warning from the fda? >> it is. it is. a family fights back in a case about their kids which made national headlines. legal analyst rikki klieman is back in our toyota green room with advice on this battle to stop the children from roaming free. that's next on "cbs this morning." cbs morning rounds sponsored by egeland's best better taste, better nutrition, better eggs. land's best. better taste. better nutrition. better eggs. welcome to our sales event.

the site was so unusual, somebody called the police. maryland child protective services sent the parents a note saying they were responsible for unsubstantiated child neglect. legal analyst rikki klieman is with us and joins us to bring us up to date.

how do you defend yourself against something that's unsubstantiated? >> if we look at the law, the child protective services department has the ability to do one of three things. that is they can rule it out, dismiss. they could say that it's indicated which means in essence you're found guilty of this form of neglect or you're in this legal limbo as you say of unsubstantiated. what does that mean? they're at risk for a long period of time now including five years where their names will be put on a register. so anything that happens with these kids could bring child protective services back for possible neglect. >> a lot of legalese there. on what grounds did the state find they were -- there might have been child neglect? >> we really don't know precise grounds but we certainly know the facts. the facts are simple. they let their kids walk to the

playground, play unsupervised and walk home. >> it is okay for them to walk to school because there wasn't a bus. >> correct. >> you have contradictions. >> the issue is they were at a playground. >> they were walking alone and were not going to school. so what you have here are parents who believe in free range parenting. as opposed to helicopter parenting. the law is interesting. maryland has this very strange little law that says if you have a child that is in the home that is the indoor law, that a child under 8 has to be supervised by someone older than 13. but there's no law about outside. so the lawyer in me says well is this a test case? because we don't really know if this is neglect. because of that neither does the child protective services know. >> the parents seem to say i'm going to keep doing what we're doing. >> they are adamant about doing it. >> doubling down almost. >> doubling down is a good term. they're going to appeal. they say they're going to appeal- and with this appeal they are at

risk because it could turn out to be worse. >> rikki klieman, thank you so much. a con good morning, it's 8:25. yet another smash-and-grab burglary in san francisco. it happened this morning at a store called music lovers audio & video at bush and steiner streets. the store owner tells us he is not sure yet how much was stolen. he said there was a similar break-in at his store just about four weeks ago. he considered putting bars on the window but thought it was unfriendly. a fire broke out at a pricy italian restaurant in san francisco early this morning. it happened at aquerello at 1:30. there is some debris from the restaurant out on the street. no word yet on the extent of the damage. uc president janet

welcome back to "cbs this morning." coming up in this half hour some of hollywood's biggest celebrities are big supporters of scientology. the new documentary about the church seen behind the movie joins us here in studio 57. plus making pepperoni passe. we'll take you inside the pizza revolution. see how the classic could be toppled. that's ahead. right now it's time to show you some of this morning's headlines. the national transportation safety board is considering reopening investigation into the buddy holly plane crash. he was killed 56 years ago when his plane crashed.

three others including musicians were also killed. the cause has been ruled pilot error but now a retired pilot says other factors may have contributed and the pilot was really a hero. a decision on whether to reopen the case could take several weeks. time looks at the surprising reason people shake hands. they say it's to smell each other. researchers recently filmed subjects. they found people were far more likely to lift their hands to their noses after handshakes and nasal air flow shows sniffing. it may be a revolutionary thing like two dogs smelling each other. i don't think i ever did that. >> i don't, do you? we disagree. jared haynes is getting a shot at the nfl. the 27-year-old says he always dreamed of playing american

football as a kid. he spent november in the los angeles area seeking out coaches and trainers who could help him better understand and prepare for american football. an upcoming documentary about the church of scientology has discussed it. in 2004 they ordered the top officers to scientology's gold base in southern california. he forced them to live in a pair of doublewide trailers that he called the hole. >> the doors had bars put on them, the windows had bars put on them and there is one entrance door the security guard sat at 24 hour as day. they had to stay there, sleep there, stunk in there,ant ants curl

crawling around. we had to come up with what each others crimes were so we could get out of the hole. >> scientology is really good at making you think you're a scoundrel. confess your crimes con fresh fes your crimes, what have you done. >> they gosay one-sided and dishonest. the director of the academy award winner made the book. we invited a representative from the church of scientology. to come this morning. let's begin this morning. why this documentary for you? >> i'd actually been offered the story of the church of scientology many times but it wasn't until i read larry's book that i really became interested. one of the things i'm interested in is the belief, the notion that people get so invested in a

belief system that they'll do the most appalling things. in that way it's about the church of scientology but it's about all of us really in terms of when we get invested in a belief system. >> larry, what interested you about scientology? >> i've always been interested in why people believe in certain et something out of it. they are affiliated with it. my goal was to understand what was it that they were getting out of it why did they go in. >> it's magazine article for you. >> it's a profile of paul who is an academy award winning writer and director who dropped out after 35 years. >> well, as you might expect, the church of scientology iproscientology

who's very active with the church. >> actually i reached out to a number of scientologists and as we say in the film they all declined to appear much as they declined to appear on this program. they did offer 25 unidentified people, but it's hard to understand. you know imagine if 25 unidentified people showed up at the studios here and said you demand to be heard. >> is that what happened? 25 people showed up in your place? >> they were around the corner unwilling to make themselves available. this is very late in the game long after i had asked for interviews from a number of keep people who were relevant in the storm. >> i did talk to a number of those people and active scientologists in preparation for the article in the book. so their view was constantly

solicited by me and reflected in the book and the article and the documentary. >> one of the things that the movie alleges is that the church keeps th >> this is how it works. you do auditing of scientology and holding these cans that's attached. and it's an e-meter. the most intimate details of your life is filled out and they are recorded secretly and sometimes videotaped. and i talk to a former member of scientology who said there was a point when john travolta was thinking about leaving the church he was tasked with the job of compiling what they call black p.r. in case travolta left, they would be able to use the information against him. >> scientology is classified as

a religion and therefore in assets and would have been extint but through some very nasty tactics they actually muscled the irs to give them the tax exemption which they currently hold. we are in effect subsidizing a lot of the activities of scientology through this tax exemption. >> is there one point where you want everybody to come away with with scientology? what is the theme here? >> i think there's one theme about scientology and one broader theme. the broader theme about scientology is, you know this tax exemption really has to be re-examined. also we have to look at these celebrities who are spokespeople for scientology, particularly tom cruise and john travolta and wonder why it is they allow

these abuses in the church to go on and they don't speak out about them. >> what kind of abuses? >> child labor would be one. physical abuse. i had 12 people in the church tell me they had been physically beaten up by the leader of the church. incarceration. there's a trailer on this camp or clergy and years ago david began to impris nate top leaders. >> what evidence do you have -- >> those are tough charges to make. >> and if john travolta and tom cruise were sitting here they wouldare of the fact that these people have been in the case of for instance eber he's been locked up in this thing for seven years. it's not like a vacation for the

weekend. this is place where top executives of the church have been confined and we know because people have escaped and told their story. we have many people who have left that organization and have told the same story. >> are you worried about your safety because of this documentary? there are reports that when people look into it in the documentary you talk about a reporter's dog who was poisoned, other people who were followed. have you been threatened and do you worry about your own safety based on the stories you're telling? >> i'm worrying about the people who are former mens who have left. p.i.s and investigators are showing up at their doorstep and muscling them in effect. >> why do they continue to have them come forward? >> i think the real story is actually how many members are leaving. the church is actually shrinking even as their financial affects keep growing because they have over $3 billion.

>> it has a following. >> a small but disappearing following. one of the thngs we get at in the more universal theme in the film and in larry's book is once you become a prisoner of a belief system, it's very hard to let go. even some of the people we spoke to, it took years for them to finally understand the hold that scientology had on them. >> all right. thanks to both of you being here. >> my pleasure. >> going clear premieres sunday on march 29th on hbo. and it's not delivery.
