wednesday, february 3rd, 2010. captioning funded by cbs it is 7:00. good morning. i'm maggie rodriguez. >> i'm harry smith. a dusting of snow this morning. >> we begin this morning with breaking news that we're following out of pakistan. a pakistani army spokesman says that three u.s. soldiers were among at least seven people killed by a roadside bomb in that country. another u.s. soldier was wounded. the soldiers apparently part of a unit training troops to fight the taliban. we'll get you the latest information from erica hill at the news desk in just a moment. chilling words from our nation's top intelligence officials about a possible terror attack in the u.s. not if but when. cbs news chief white house correspondent chip reid has details. >> reporter: leon panetta said

the possibility of an attempted attack on u.s. soil by al qaeda is his greatest concern. he says it's what keeps him awake at night. >> what's the likelihood of another terrorist attempted attack on the u.s. homeland in the next three to six months? high or low? director blair? >> an attempted attack the priority is certain i would say. >> mr. panetta? >> i would agree with that. >> mr. mueller? >> agree. >> reporter: cia director leon panetta said it's not so much the possibility that we face another 9/11. >> the greater threat is that al qaeda is adapting their methods in ways that often times make it difficult to detect. >> reporter: panetta worries about recruits with little training using simple device as in the attempted christmas day attack by suspect umar farouk abdulmutallab. senior white house officials say

abdulmutallab is now cooperating with u.s. investigators. why is he talking? the fbi went to nigeria and consulted with his family, brought them back, and they convinced him to talk. harry? >> chip reid at a snowy white house this morning. thank you very much. do appreciate it. also in washington cbs news national security analyst juan zarate. juan, good morning. >> good morning. >> i think about that panel yesterday and i don't remember a time when all on that panel sat there so stone faced and so sober was their assessment of a threat of an imminent terrorist attack. >> i think what has happened harry, is a wake-up call with the december 25th incident. i think both the realization that not only al qaeda is trying to innovate and adapt but use regional affiliates in particular from yemen and perhaps out of somalia and north africa to attack the united states directly. so i think the administration through intelligence officials and law enforcement official represented yesterday are trying to get ahead of the curve and be

as sober as possible. >> is the idea the attack will be along the lines of a abdulmutallab sort of christmas day bomber and this kind of freelancing someone who went on their own for training and came back and not particularly networked in and not a very elaborate plan like 9/11? >> i think the challenge for the intelligence community and part of the worry that the intelligence specialists expressed, they're not sure. there is the opportunity and chance that al qaeda will be sending networked individuals, trained individuals in particular from the regional affiliates but there's also the potential of radicalized inspired lone wolves trying to attack using simple methods. that's what leon panetta was talking about yesterday. you have to try to adapt and defend against both. >> or even for instance this kid from denver who was driving the airport bus. who knows how many just like him are out there. >> that's exactly right. the lessons of the past year is that al qaeda continues to try

different methods and ways of getting into the u.s. najibullah zazi was sent by al qaeda central to do -- we're not sure what. something in new york city. we have to be very careful and cautious. i think the intelligence officials are trying to express that to the senate yesterday. >> one of the other things discussed in this senate hearing yesterday which we haven't heard very much about is this threat of a cyber pearl harbor. what are they talking about? >> what you've been seeing more and more is intelligence officials talking openly about the continuous attacks that are networks are facing. out of china, out of russia and i think this attack on the google servers has served as the public wake-up call to the fact that this is happening on a daily basis. i think dennis blair yesterday was trying to sound the warning bell that this is a potential vulnerability and a big vulnerability and one we need to keep our eyes on. >> a lot to be concerned about this morning. juan zarate thanks so much as

always. new information this morning in the ongoing investigation into the death of michael jackson. for the past seven months prosecutors have been digging up evidence against jackson's doctor and it appears an arrest is imminent. cbs news correspondent ben tracy is in los angeles with the latest. good morning. >> it appears the long wait for charges in the michael jackson case could finally be over. dr. conrad murray appears willing to turn himself in to avoid an embarrassing arrest. ♪ >> reporter: at the grammys they celebrated michael jackson's career. now the focus is back on how he died. his personal doctor conrad murray, is reportedly facing manslaughter charges and up to four years in prison. a spokeswoman for his lawyer says dr. murray is in los angeles for a dual purpose. on family business and to be available to law enforcement. that's fueling speculation that he's about to turn himself in. >> what this means is that he

made some arrangements with law enforcement to avoid the perp walk to avoid the media circus that accompanies that and it also suggests that he intends to mount a very vigorous defense to these charges. >> reporter: investigators have been building their case against murray for months raiding his offices in houston and las vegas. the doctor has admitted to giving michael jackson propofol to help him sleep. it's a powerful anesthetic normally used in surgical settings. the coroner's office says propofol is what killed the pop star. >> i told the truth. i have faith the truth will prevail. prevail. >> reporter: at the time of his death michael jackson was preparing for a series of comeback concerts. he insisted on murray help with his chronic insomnia. it could be a matter of hours before the doctor is charged with causing michael jackson's death. >> ben tracy in los angeles. thank you, ben. also in l.a. this morning is brian oxman, an attorney for the jackson family and longtime friend. good morning to you, mr. oxman.

>> good morning, maggie. >> involuntary manslaughter up to four years in prison would that satisfy the jackson family? >> wow, maggie the thought of that is just staggering. i don't think it would satisfy anybody. the millions of fans around the world. that is just a slap on the wrist, maggie. it is a slap in the face because michael jackson was someone who we knew was in danger of being brought to his knees, brought to his death by the use of these medications. i warned. the warning was one day michael jackson would wake up dead. i was really angry that this was happening to him and low and behold he dies from this and then they say, oh they really didn't mean it. it's involuntary manslaughter. i think the family will be very very upset. >> let's talk about what manslaughter means. it means that prosecutors believe that dr. murray took a

reckless action that risked death. does the family believe it was worse than that? >> you bet you, maggie. they believe what this was was reckless in conduct of michael jackson's life. >> was it murder? >> i would say it rose to the level of such recklessness you would say this was a second-degree murder charge because they knew what they were doing was utterly reckless. it's like shooting into a moving train. you take the risk of death there, which is so high they call that murder. they were shooting drugs into michael jackson. the risk of death there was so high outside of a hospital setting with no respiration material or equipment, i think it rose to the level of utter recklessness. >> and the public will be able to make the own decision because prosecutors chose to file a criminal complaint which means that everything will be made public versus seeking a grand jury indictment which would have kept everything private. is that what the jackson family would want?

>> i think the jackson family wants to have an airing of this in public. i spoke to mr. jackson yesterday and latoya jackson last night. they want justice for michael jackson. they want justice for all those people who are being administer administeredadminister administered drugs. we had the anna nicole smith case. did we learn nothing? is four years the only kind of charge we'll have here? i think the public is entitled to take this problem on a serious note instead of saying, oh, you didn't mean it. we think they did mean it. it was so reckless that it was utterly irresponsible. >> brian oxman, thank you so much. time to check the rest of the headlines with erica hill at the news desk. good morning erica. >> good morning. three american soldiers are dead this morning killed by a roadside bomb in northwest pakistan. that explosion hit a convoy en route to the opening of a girls'

school. mark phillips is in london this morning with more. mark, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the information is still coming in on this but the u.s. embassy does now confirm that three american soldiers were killed and two others injured in this bomb attack in the tribal area near the afghanistan area. the injured we're now told have been brought to a hospital in islamabad for treatment with their injuries being serious. footage taken by pakistani television shows this was a large explosion. the u.s. soldiers interestingly it seems were part of a team that was training local militias to fight taliban and al qaeda insurgents in the tribal areas. this being an effort to provide services and protection for the local population. they were there as you say for the opening of a school which had been rebuilt. also to try to win local hearts and minds. people in the area have been targeted by u.s. drone attacks aimed at taliban and al qaeda

leadership. this blast today shows very much that the taliban and al qaeda are still active in the area. >> very active indeed. all right, mark. thanks. more problems at home this morning when it comes to toyota. possible brake issues on its popular hybrid the prius. the national highway safety administration received about 100 complaints involving the latest prius model. it became available in the u.s. last may. and this newses comes on the heels of criticism by transportation director ray lahood. also stirring outrage another round of huge bonuses coming at aig. american international group paying out $100 million in 2010 bonuses to employees. the company has agreed to cut retention bonuses by $20 million but those savings may be used to pay back part of some $45 million in bonus money from 2009. tammy smith, former person of interest in the disappearance of baby gabriel has now been

arrested. >> reporter: police still don't know what happened to 8-month-old gabriel johnson. they arrested the woman who planned to adopt him. tammy smith has now been charged with custodial interference and forgery. >> i am innocent. >> the only thing i can surmise here is that the authorities are thinking that she knows something that she hasn't told them. >> reporter: the boy's dad was granted custody but gabriel's mom, elizabeth johnson, took off with him in december. she told tammy smith and her husband they would adopt gabriel. >> technically it seemed as though she wanted the best for him and knew that she could not give that to him herself. >> reporter: the smiths admit they took gabriel for several days but claim they gave him back to his mother. meanwhile, his mom, elizabeth

johnson, remains behind bars and his father logan, is retracing elizabeth's cross-country trek in desperate hopes of finding his son. hattie coughman cbs news los angeles. fallout from the extreme winter weather. those are actual blocks of snow and ice falling yesterday from richmond city hall building. the entrance to the municipal building. it was blocked off to prevent anyone from being injured. thankfully because no one wanted to be on the receiving end of that. it's almost quarter past the hour. dave price in miami beach. i don't think you have to worry about falling ice blocks this

cbs news correspondent richard roth is in london with more on this stunning reversal. >> reporter: this is much more than just an argument about science. this has been a dispute with real impact on society. many parents listened when doubts were raised about the safety of the common mmr vaccine against measles, mumps and rubella. a 1998 study that linked the vaccine to autism and bowel disease gained credibility from its publication in "the lancet." >> it was wrong. it never should have been published to start with and it led people to believe vaccination caused autism. >> reporter: in the retraction the lancet now agrees saying that claims in the original paper have been proven to be false. that follows last week's ruling by britain's medical regulator that dr. andrew wakefield, the study's main author behaved

unethically with callus disregard for the children involved. >> the allegations against me and my colleagues are both unfounded and unjust. i repeat. unfounded and unjust. >> reporter: the allegations are that he paid children at his son's birthday party to give blood samples. over the past 12 years, the science used to back up his conclusions has also been discredkredcredited with more than 25 other studies finding no link between the vaccine and autism. many scientists believe that autism has a genetic origin but it cast a long shallow. mmr vaccinations here plummeted and the number of measles cases soared. >> dr. paul offit is the chief

of infectious disease at children's hospital in philadelphia and also the author of "autism's false prophets." do you believe this reversal by the lancet will put an end to the debate? >> i hope so. it's a long time in coming. the paper obviously was critically flawed. it never should have been published. science done since then has shown that mmr vaccine didn't cause autism. the problem is it started a firestorm. hundreds of children in the united kingdom and ireland were hospitalized. four children were called by the measles virus that could have been safely and easily prevented by this vaccination. hopefully it will change other people from succumbing to this preventible infection. >> you have gone as far as saying that the editors of the lancet should be held responsible for the deaths of those children that weren't vaccinated. >> i think there are a lot of people who should be held responsible here. those obviously who the authors

of the paper were shown by the general medical council to have acted unethically and the journal withdrew the paper because they thought it was misrepresented. the editors should be held accountable. four of the six people who reviewed that paper recommended it be rejected. still it was published. media jumped on the paper as if it was fake but extraordinary claims should be backed by extraordinary evidence. this was an extraordinary claim that was backed by virtually no evidence and obviously has never been reproduced. >> it's hard to argue with parents who are so convinced that their child took a dramatic turn after receiving the vaccine and they are absolutely convinced no matter what the lancet says now that vaccine caused their child's autism. what do you say to them? >> i think i can certainly understand where they're coming from. their child was fine. they got a vaccine and they weren't fine anymore. could the vaccine have caused it? that's a question that can be

addressed in a scientific venue. you know the story that i tell because it's a good one and my wife is in private practice pediatrics. she came into her office one day and was pulling out a syringe of vaccine. a 4-month-old on her mother's lap waiting for the vaccine and she had a seizure. if that vaccine was given five minutes later, there's no statistical data that would convince the mother otherwise. these are scientific questions that can be answered and have been answered. i would plead with parents to believe the science. >> all right dr. paul offit. thank you so much. you can read more about this study on our website, earlyshow.cbsnews.com. let's head back to miami and another check of the weather with

what is he trying to pass? take a look at first warning doppler weather radar, you are looking at the overnight snow getting out of here and actually stopped about 3:45, there is a little back wash we like to say, look to the left of your screen. couple of very light flurries, mainly over your neighborhood in the next hour or so. not a big deal. manageable snowfall, 4 inches, clearing skies today, 31 going for a >> of course we've got cheerleaders here who always cheer when a big play is made. let's try not to disappoint. here we go. i'm going long. luckily we have about 90 minutes left in the show. come on. it was a good try. let's send it back to you guys

>> paper or plastic? >> plastic. >> that's the magic word. you picked the wrong day to mess with me plastic boy. >> battery. come on. take the house. >> put it down. >> and what happens in this commercial is the green police is everywhere. and eventually they stop. there's a roadblock for cars. they wave the audi through. >> it's very funny because i know people with kids their own kids are green police. you never recycle well enough or use the right light bulbs so to take that little turn is funny. also cheap trick instead of dream police. it's green police. >> very good. we showed a sample of this earlier. this is part of a larger idea

that we'll explain in a second. take a look at this. >> reservation under griswold. >> we have you in the napoleon suite. >> homeaway.com rent a home for less than cost than a hotel. >> you don't go to a hotel, you rent a home. it's a company betting the whole thing. everyone loves a bad vacation. can't get enough of that. the other thing with audi is there are five foreign cars in the super bowl this year. only one american. that's such a turnaround. it says so much about the economy and our time. >> one of the other advertisers is kia. this is just kind of -- i'm not sure what this is exactly. when i looked at it this morning, i smiled. >> it's these weird toys on a road trip.

it went from nickelodeon. i wouldn't want the guy with one eye driving my car. they go around las vegas having a great time. it's a new suv. people with young kids who watch these shows will feel like they're still cool. >> still hip enough to exist. >> generally there's lots of references to other tv shows, old movies old music. people just want to feel warm and good and settle back and have a good time and just have a big american dumb fun day. >> when you watch, how do you watch ads on super bowl sunday? >> unfortunately i'm on my laptop and i'm tweeting and writing my blog. >> i'm sure we'll have a debrief on monday. nice to see you. thank you. you're watching "the early show" on cbs. give a book with your voice on every page. and when it seems impossible to love you more... i do. good night, evan. - i love you. - awww, i love you too. a cuddly bear that answers when you talk...

batteries in it as well. if the power goes out, you need to know that it will be operating. >> when the power goes out a lot of generators kick in and we see a lot of problems. >> we've seen a lot of poisonings just this past weekend. about ten in oklahoma this weekend because people were dealing with a storm, dealing with power outage running generators and buildup of the deadly gas. and then the last one is a smoke alarm and ceo detector. this is about $40. >> a lot of states are starting to make this law, aren't they? >> more than 20 states have some sort of carbon monoxide detector on the books. here in new york for example, february 22nd, all homes are going to have to have a co detector. >> everyone in america should. thank you so much. if you would like to contact susan, go to our website, earlyshow.cbsnews.com. now over to you, harry. >> thanks. up next, a date with destiny and the brave teen skier who wants

skiers who visit the french alps know you can get vertigo just from looking down from the ski lift and then there are skiers that get their thrills from leaping into the unknown. in the documentary "the edge of never," the world's most extreme skiers are challenged. the mountains win more than their fair share of battles. >> they don't know about his back. >> canadian dare devil sky legend came here in the 1990s, a few year later an avalanche took his life.

"the edge of never" and also senior producer of cbs program "48 hours" and extreme skiing legend glen plake. the hair has me tongue tied. really good to see you. >> got to wear it up on a day like today. >> have to. first explain, trevor peterson and with a kind of guy he was and what he meant to this sport. >> he's a great guy. loved skiing. loved the mountains. some of these people's interpretation of the sport is ski area based. ours is not. we need a mountain with snow on it trevor loved being on the mountains. >> what did it mean to go back -- this is one thing we see pictures of him doing stunts and having a degree of facility and say we're going to go back to this place that took the life of your father and this is the kind of skiing that's not taught

inside the ropes. >> no. so true. i never really -- it wasn't a destiny that i felt he should ski this but i knew the path he was taking was ultimately going to lead him there. i wanted to be able to maybe help him along the way there. the time of him skiing that run was going to come eventually in his life and this was the time to help him do that. >> why did you make this movie? >> you know i love great stories. and when glen said, you know if you want to make a movie about heart and soul of skiing, you have to get trevor peterson's kid because he's ready at age 15 to go and ski the run that killed his dad. wow. that's an epic story. the kid is amazing. the interesting thing is that he is so -- he grew up in the mountains. he grew up skiing every day. he's totally comfortable being in this extreme situation.

like you saw at the end of the beautiful piece you did, he can sit on the edge of an unbelievable precipice and is as comfortable as can be. you have no problems walking down the streets of new york this kid can go places we don't want to go. >> why do you do what do you? >> just a bit of nostalgia. steep skiing was started in the '50s. it's continued to grow. the game hasn't changed a lot. you still have to climb the mountains and ski the sleep places. it's not something done by everybody. it's an all ages show. we have some 20s and some 60s. still skiing full time. like i say, it's a nostalgia thing really. it's the path that we go down as skiers. it's fun to go ride yo-yos but more fun to ski.

>> have you in your life say in the last five years been to a ski area where you have gone up a chair lift and skied down a groomed trail? >> i spent two weeks in pennsylvania a week ago. i sometimes say the smallest mountains in the world might have the biggest hearts and that is certainly true. >> for people who may not blof this sport as much as we all do if they are thinking about watching the who havye y movie this weekend, why should they watch? >> it's a story about people facing challenges in their life. i was fascinated. this kid lost his dad when he was 6. he's age 15. he's trying to figure out who am i? what's my destiny? who am i going to be? what choices should i make? how am i going to get there? we can all relate to that we all have moments trying to figure out who we are and how to do it.

>> this is not adrenaline fed.

hello again. it is now 25 past. taking a live long far away look at spaghetti junction. lots of snow on roof tops but the streets are clear. >> let me hoe you how far back we are going. there is the time span. we are taking this thing back to about 2:30. that's going to be the very last of the actual snowfall that gave us our morning conditions. there are, as you look at the left of your screen, some flurries getting ready to dive into the area. that's not going to be a big deal. skies will clear out. 39 this afternoon. in the low 30s now.

working together or this thing doesn't work at all. >> yeah. i think especially with anthony and brian and myself we clung to each other. we had full freedom to do what we needed to do. we desperately needed each other through this whole thing. >> here's a woman, one of the few ever nominated for best director. she's won a basket full of awards leading up to this. why do you think she was so good at directing this kind of movie in. >> that's an easy one. she's a painter. she's a warrior. and she empowered all of her actors and everyone around her to do their job because she thinks that they're the best at their job. she empowered everyone with trust. it was infectious. all she had to do it was a lot, but capture it in the way she does. >> we want to show a bit of "the

>> well i sort of just thought yuck and hit it with the board. >> can you show me how you tried to hit it with your boogie board. >> sure. i just went. >> did that seem to work. >> he let go straight away. >> so then you get to shore. are you in pain or are you just thinking about getting out of the water at that point? >> well i didn't really feel anything. i was sort of numb on my hip. it wasn't until i got about knee deep that i realized i had a bite mark through the wet suit. >> you had bite marks through the wet suit. did you bring it with you? i can see the bite marks. dad has got it. >> they went into my skin and

this was really the bigger one. i did have the wet suit on. >> you come out of the water with your brother and dad is standing there. tim, you didn't even realize that anything was going on in the water but then you see your daughter come out with bite marks in her wet suit and she's bleeding. what goes through your mind? >> maggie when they came out of the water, they just walked out so calmly. there was no fuss. there was no shouting or waving of arms or anything. i didn't think there was anything going on. lydia came right up to where i was on the edge of the water and said that something had bitten her and showed me the side of her wet suit and that wet suit is just pierced but then i noticed there was blood trickling down the back of her leg from the wet suit. >> i can't believe she was as calm and collected as you're describing. i know that you had to go to the hospital lydia.

were you okay? was everything fine? >> yeah. the nurse said i should see the doctor in case i did need a tetanus booster but we went to the doctor the next day and she said i should be fine. >> will you go back in the water? >> yes. i've been asked this question a lot. i think i will after a time because i know it was such a freak incident. >> you're unbelievable. thank you for sharing your story. lydia and tim ward have a good day. you may find this hard to believe but a lot of guys never turn the stove on at dinner time. they grab the phone and call for takeout. the truth is any guy can be an ace in the kitchen. adam rapoport of "gq" magazine has easy cooking tips that all of us should know. start us off on a good foot higher here. >> you need the tools. >> you need the right equipment. >> we'll run through basics. you need a basic spatula.
