8:01 am
official. uva's phi kappa psi is fighting back, claiming they will pursue all available legal action against the magazine. is there any weight loss supplement you think is safe and okay to take. >> there's not a single weight loss item on the market that's legal and has shown weight loss in humans. >> did you ever think the strongest person you would know would be a little girl. >> i didn't know what true strength was. i didn't think a 4-year-old would come along and show me. >> alex rodriguez was greeted by cheers. though he's off the juice now, so they probably thought it was bruno mars. 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. this morning, duke reigns supreme. the blue devils captured the
8:02 am
national college basketball title. it's the fifth championship in duke's history. the team overcame a nine-point second half deficit to the wisconsin badgers. >> yes, charlie still walking on air after that game. the celebration began on the court. players joined coach mike krzykewski in cutting down the nut. freshman jones scored 23 points. he was named the final four's most outstanding player. >> they believed in me and trusted in me all year. there's never been a moment where they doubted me. they trusted me to make a play. that's the biggest thing about this team we never want to let one another down. >> they did not last night. jones says that he texted coach k last year after duke's early tournament loss. he said that would not happen again. >> jones could be one of duke's so-called one and done players. nba rules say players must be out of high school for at least one year before becoming eligible for the draft. that means some duke freshmen
8:03 am
might turn pro instead of returning to the college program next year. bo ryan says he doesn't like the one and done approach. >> every player that's played through the program, okay we don't do a rent a player. you know what i mean? try to take a fifth year guy, whatever. that's okay, if other people do that, that's great. i like -- i like trying to build from within. it's just the way i am. >> missouri senator claire mccaskill entered the controversy, congrats to duke but i was rooting to the team who had stars that are actually going to college and not just doing a semester tryout for nba. she then wrote an apology, writing i understand why its happening but i don't know have like it. >> coach mike krzykewski joins us from indianapolis. good morning. >> good morning. really happy here, man. >> there is much to talk about in terms of this victory and the
8:04 am
team that you say, one that you have loved as much as anyone. just playing off of what we just said, do you have players -- do you do rent-a-player? >> duke doesn't rent a player, you know. we have one of the great schools in the world. when we recruit a young man, we recruit a young man because of three things, one, he has the academic potential to do well at duke, two, he has the talent to do well and three, he has great character. and all the guys on my team fit that description 100%. you know in today's world, you have to adapt to what's happening. you know throughout college there are many kids who don't go even the whole four years because of opportunities, business opportunities, that are available. they're not just athletes. and so if the opportunity arises, you know for a
8:05 am
youngster to leave early from school whether he's an athlete or she's an athlete or not. it's their opportunity to pursue it. so i think we're living in the dark ages when we say that it should only be done one way. >> how would you change it? >> well i would allow, really a youngster to go straight out of high school if he was good enough, because they only have the earning potential of a 15-year period as a player. you can get a better contract. but if they did go to college, i would like to see them there for two years. so they would be halfway towards a degree probably more than halfway with summer school. but you know we have to adopt to what the nba is doing and the nba players association. it's not our responsibility. i wish it was. to determine that rule. and we've done well. all these kids charlie, my guys are great. you know they go to school.
8:06 am
they love duke. they live with the other students. the rent a thing is kind of harsh. >> well, coach k. i have to tell you i love duke too. this is gayle speaking. i'm wearing duke blue in your honor today. >> thank you. >> you're welcome, sir. you're welcome. it was such a great night. i was cheering you on from the bedroom. this was the thing, there were so many heart-stopping moments during that game. i heard you say at one point we were dead in the water. what did you do? what did you think to turn it around with those freshmen on the team? >> i have the most together group i've ever had. they love one another. they're brothers. it was that way from day one. they've come back before. you know we coined the phrase a couple months ago that eight is enough. we only have eight scholarship players, four of them are freshman. we have confidence in all of

them and grace and allen came through for us. also on the defensive end, emile jefferson and matt jones combine for two points. kiminski in the second half was huge for us to get back because they gave us stops. >> the lead kept changing. it was ready set go and full throttle the whole game. it was nerve racking watching that game last night. >> it was nerve racking coaching. wisconsin is a heck of a team. their coach is a great guy. really we felt that they were the best team in the country coming in. and so to win this we felt we beat a great basketball team and a great program.
8:08 am
would be in the first round so they're talented and they've played together for two straight years, which is uncommon in the college game. >> coach it was interesting to learn, tally up the numbers afterwards to learn that every point scored in the second half was by one of your freshman players. >> it's amazing. i have four great freshmen but they're led by a great senior in quinn cook. quinn set the table for these kids. and where they always felt
8:09 am
comfortable, they always felt like they had a big brother there for them. and our mvp for this team is quinn cook. >> thank you, coach k. the shot of you kissing quinn cook is one of the sweetest things i've ever seen congratulations and bravo, bravo, bravo, duke! >> thank you. we appreciate it. >> we appreciate it too. new scientific research ranking weight loss

in our morning rounds, new insight into the popular diets that make work best. two-thirds of american adults are considered obese or overweight. the diet industry is gaining, $2.5 billion was spent on weight loss programs last year alone. dr. holly phillips is here with a new johns hopkins study. good morning. >> good morning, gayle. >> i'm thinking time to go back to weight watchers or jenny craig. i tried everything. >> those were the ones that came out on top. i'll tell you, they looked at three different groups of diet programs, 11 diets in total. they focused on those that had at least a year's worth or that could show effectiveness over the course of a year. not just two or three months. because we know short-term weight loss doesn't have many health benefits. if you can get it to stretch out over a year, you're in business. the headline is that the two that they deemed the most effective were weight watchers and jenny craig.
8:16 am
>> why? >> when they compared people who did those diets, those people lost 3% to 5% more weight over a year than people who tried to diet alone. nutrisystem is also in that group of diets. they didn't have enough research to show that it lasted over a year. >> the question is what she said, why? what is it they have in common? >> right right. this review didn't really assess exactly why but we do know one thing that those diets do very well, which is they integrate team work a group approach. a lot of people do it in their workplace or you bring in colleagues friends, your partners and you actually go into a place very often and meet other people who are in the same position as you. we know unequivocally the only diets that work are those that you stick with. which you have some companionship along the way, you're more likely to do it. >> they give you structure, though, those group meetings i don't like to hear about i went
8:17 am
to a wedding and ate cake. i like having the structure. that's what i think is important. >> since you've done this before -- >> many times. >> how do you separate? what's made a difference for you? >> i need the structure. they say you can eat this this this this. >> you need a disciplinarian. >> i do. >> gayle, i think that's an important point. one of the other groups of diets were the meal replacement systems where they could track a significant amount of weight loss during a few months but they couldn't say that it lasted for a year or longer. >> because at some point you have to go back to eating normal. >> exactly. >> those are hard to sustain and they're expensive they can be $600 or $700 a month. not everybody can stay on that forever. >> you're excited about this study and what it shows. why? >> i am norah. every single day i'm in the position, i'm a general internist, i'm in the position to tell people, for your health we need to focus on weight loss. these programs are advertised ad

8:36 am
information. and in my experience none of that was true. i couldn't find individuals having been pressured. >> did dick cheney quote an article by you saying we have to go to war because there are weapons of nuclear mass destruction in iraq. >> he was quoting our article based on intelligence he was getting when president bush asked his cia director are you sure there are weapons there? you are confident? if the president of the united states is told yes we have these weapons there is the "new york times," the "washington post" or cbs supposed to say no. what we are supposed to do is try to examine the claims. i did the best i could to do that. most of my stories are filled with people going on the record saying we believe this is true. we believe this is a threat to the nation. >> what did you do wrong?
8:37 am
>> i think what i did wrong was i wasn't prevented by my paper to look at the stories when we had more information. i went to iraq. i spent four months with soldiers who were top secret embedded looking at the hunt. when we didn't find weapons i said wow. what happened here? we had a massive intelligence failure. i wanted to look at that. i wasn't permitted to do that. that is what we do wrong. we are all going to make mistakes. when we don't look at the mistakes and correct them that's what is wrong. >> why do you think your reporting was singled out? you collaborated on a lot of stories and other stories were later disputed. why do you think you were singled out? >> i was responsible for covering in general and covering iraqi weapons for a long time. soviet nuclear weapons. second of all, since i wrote a lot of the stories with male colleagues i don't know maybe
8:38 am
being a woman had something to do with it. the aluminum tube story quoted was written with michael gordon, a superb reporter. >> when you look on the episode because with the front page piece with you and michael gordon that talked about iraq's efforts to secure aluminum tubes to build a nuclear weapon it was on sunday morning it came out. the vice president of the united states went on meet the press, cited your story as evidence as proof. then you also had condoleeza rice on cnn that same day saying we don't want the smoking gun to be a mushroom cloud. all of the intelligence at the time, though was that they were five to seven years away from a nuclear weapon. that was the current intelligence from the cia. what the times and what i read
8:39 am
suggested there wasn't enough in what was put on the front page. editors made mistakes noting qualifications saying this doesn't show that. do you regret any of that? >> i don't. five days later michael gordon and i and i was the one pushing for this wrote a story saying you know that aluminum tube story there is a big debate in the intelligence community about this. many people don't believe this. that's the kind of follow up that i hoped others would do and draw conclusions. i certainly wanted to go on doing it. had i been permitted to i probably would still be at the times but i had to go to jail. >> and more rigorous in the sources that you had? >> i couldn't have been. i talk in this book about how i went to an analysts house. i paced up and down. i felt like a journalistic cliche. there i am with my little note book. he said i can't talk to you
8:40 am
about this. most of my sources were on the record. >> this is serious. "wall street journal" has an excerpt quoting you about suggesting that special council in his prosecution of scooter litty induced you to give what you now realize was false testimony. that's a serious charge against a federal prosecutor saying he induced me to give false testimony. >> what i'm saying is that he had information that would have helped jog my memory about something which i hadn't considered very important at the time which is who leaked information about cia agent. i was more focused on how the heck did we go to war on the basis of a faulty intelligence estimate that was 100% wrong? when i heard about this other story i wasn't really concentrating on it. my notes were very very unclear. mr. fitzgerald who had a lot of time to prepare this case had
8:41 am
information that could have perhaps jogged my memory and he didn't give it to me. when i began to look at this case i realized a lot of information that they needed to make the best case they could. i realized that prosecutors are supposed to get convictions but the truth shouldn't be a victim of their pursuit. >> you describe yourself smart, fearless relentless to now pushy, warmongerer you said you laughed and cried. >> i have been called worse. and you have to take the blows. but i think what was most disappointing was my paper's effort to deflect attention from the prewar reporting that it claimed was flawed to one or two individuals that in this case me. i don't think it was fair and i don't think it was right. >> thank you. and the story goes on sale today. a wife ignored doctors when

8:47 am
multiple broken bones the result of a motorcycle crash. the doctors gave his wife a grim prognosis. >> he literally drew a graph on the board and said 90% of people with this injury never regain consciousness. finally the doctor said if this were me i would want my family to pull the plug. >> you fought for me the whole time so hard. >> yes. >> and if you really think about it that's the reason i'm here today. >> danielle took matt home to care for him. after three months he awoke from his coma. it soon became apparent he lost all memory of his wife. >> like that is your wife. i was like yeah! >> for danielle it was bittersweet. >> when i realized he doesn't remember me and is never going to remember me those things are gone. >> simple acts most people take for granted like being able to
