saturday. a local resident took this video of one tornado that destroyed much of the town of west liberty kentucky. that is where anna westerner is this morning. good morning. >> good morning, erica. the snow has really fallen here overnight. a week ago this might have been a pretty sight here in this town. at worst, a minor inconvenience. now, this could be down right dangerous as it covers obstructions, like twisted and stray nails. a town is trying to put itself back together. >> we are going back to work. so we're together with this. we want you all to spread that word. >> in west liberty, officials promise the town will get back on its feet. crews are cleaning up. some banks are reopening. and a few residents have made it into town to survey the damage to their homes. >> i mean, i seen the tree go down, from there to here. >> the story echoed all across

the coming months. >> on sunday, the president focused on that in a speech to an important pro-israel group. chive white house correspondent norah o'donnell has that story. >> good morning. president obama is fiercely backing up -- making clear that the u.s. shares israel's desire to prevent a nuclear armed iran. but the president also seems intent on pointing out that he wants more time for diplomacy, saying in this speech that he has a "deeply held preference for peace over war." >> i have israel's back. >> in a speech to the powerful pro-israel lobbying group aipac, the president promised to act militarily if necessary to defend israel. >> iran's leaders should have no doubt about the united states. when it comes to preventing iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon, i will take no options off the table and i mean what i say. >> but he also made clear he

prefers diplomacy and that tough economic sanctions are working. >> already there is too much loose talk of war. over the last few weeks, such talk has only benefited the iranian government by driving up the price of oil, which they depend on to fund their nuclear program. >> it's the same message the president will deliver today to prime minister netanyahu who made clear israel does not need u.s. permission to attack iran. >> perhaps most important of all, i appreciated the fact that he said that israel must be able to defend itself by itself against any threat. >> the israeli prime minister said last week he would not set down red lines for israeli or u.s. action. he has said he will go further than the u.s. and demand iran end all of its uranium enrichment. >> the demand on iran should be clear. dismantle the underground

facility, stop enrichment inside iran and get all the enriched material out of iran. >> and that is the very crux of this discussion between the israeli prime minister and president obama. mr. netanyahu want to make sure that iran never even gets close to developing the capability to have a nuclear weapon. the personal dynamics of this meeting will also be pretty interesting. it is their ninth meeting together. but their last get together in the oval office was pretty tense and when president obama was recently asked to describe their relationship, he called it functional. charlie and erica? >> norah, thanks. with us arizona senator john mccain. senator, good morning. >> good morning, charlie. >> should the president's speech reassure the israelis? >> speeches are excellent policies, not so good. from the beginning, when the president insisted on a

settlement freeze as a pre-condition for talks between israel is and the pal stin cannians, relations vab worse than they've ever. charlie, suppose there was a country in our hemisphere dedicating to wiping us off the map, developing a nuclear weapon and at some point we didn't have the capability to remove that threat but had to rely on another ally to do that for us. that's basically the situation that the israelis may find themselves in and i would add that we were surprised when pakistan acquired nuclear weapons, we were surprised when north korea acquired nuclear weapons. so what the president is asking the prime minister of israel to do is to rely on his judgment as to when the force may be necessary. by the way, the sanctions which the president praised, which i praise as well, in view of all

of us have not deterred the iranians from the path that they're on and that is acquiring a nuclear weapon. >> do you think the israelis should take action now, senator? >> i think that's a judgment to be made by the israelis, but the israelis see, even though the sanctions have been harmful to the iranian economy, the israelis see the iranians on a steady path to being a nuclear weapon and they have pledged to "wipe israel off the map," they have committed acts of terror throughout the world, including here, attempting in washington, d.c. to assassinate the saudi ambassador. we should have no doubt about the nature of the regime in iran. >> the president seemed to go some distance in this speech to say "why is that despite me never failing to support israel in every problem, there's still questions about that?" he even said "we have israel's

back." is there some distinction that you know that separates where the president is and where prime minister is today at this moment? >> well, the evidence is that just a week or two ago, both the president's national security adviser and the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff traveled to israel trying to get israel to pledge not to attack iran and the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff stated that iran was "a nuclear -- a rational nation." that's an interesting view of a rational nation. and also said that the iranians had not decided whether to assemble a -- whether to have a nuclear weapon or not. and while they are assembling all the components and sticking them into underneath a mountain so they wouldn't be destroyed. so there's very little doubt in my mind anyway, about what iran's intentions are. >> the reference i made to the quote was in the atlantic magazine not in the speech. may i tourn politics for a

second. we have super tuesday coming up. >> sure. >> if romney wins in ohio and wins in tennessee, does that pretty much make it over as far as you see? >> i think it does. but with the super pacs and the candidates' ability to continue to be funding -- by the way, it's the most outrageous supreme court decision in my view. it's just disgraceful that i think they will still be able to continue. but i hope that at that point most of us would declare or believe it's over and start focusing on the real adversary. that, of course, is winning the november election. >> one question about rush limbaugh, who is obviously a prominent radio personality. does he have some power within the republican party? >> sure. absolutely. he has influence because he has a strong conservative base. i know that. but those statements were unacceptable in every way and

should be condemned by everyone, no matter what their political leanings are. >> are you satisfied that those republican officials have gone far enough in condemning these statements? >> oh, i leave that up to pundits like you, charlie. but it is totally unacceptable. >> senator mccain, there's also a movie that's this week. you're not going to look at it. why are you not going to see a movie about your campaign? >> because it's based on a book that is full of unattributed quotes, things that absolutely never happened and if it's based on that book, which i was briefed on o, then, of course, it can't be accurate. >> senator, it's always good to have you on the program. thank you so much. >> thanks, charlie. we'll have more on rush limbaugh. he apologized over weekend for the language he used describing a law student who wants insurance for birth control coverage. the republican presidential candidates are being drawn into the controversy.

political correspondent jan crawford is in dayton, ohio where the important super tuesday primary is, of course, tomorrow. jan, good morning. >> good morning, erica. that's right. super tuesday is just hours away. the candidates are out making their final push for voters and hope to be focusing on the issues like the economy and energy prices. instead, they found themselves answering questions about rush limbaugh. he's a media powerhouse known for rallying the right. but for some conservatives rush limbaugh's latest comments are too much. rick santorum and mitt romney tried to distance themselves from the controversy. >> he's being absurd. an entertainer can be absurd. >> that's not the language i would have used. >> the controversy began after georgetown university law student sandra fluke testified in support of mandatory contraceptive coverage under her school's healthcare plan saying birth control would cost $3,000. >> it means you're slut, right? she wants to be paid to have

sex. it's fluke. the rest of you, here's the deal. if we are going to pay for your contraceptives and thus pay for you to have sex, we want something for it. i'll tell you what it is. we want you to post the videos online so we can all watch. >> insisting he did not mean to personally attack fluke, limbaugh issued an apology saying my choice of words was not the best. in an attempt to be humorous, i created a national stir. but saturday's apology became sunday talk show fodder. >> i'm astonished at the desperation of the elite media. suddenly to decide that rush limbaugh is the great national crisis of this week. >> it played into this troop that the republicans have a war on women. no, they don't. but he made it look that way. >> calling his language crude, ron paul questioned limbaugh's apology. >> i don't think he's very apologetic. he's doing it because some people were taking their

advertisements off his program. it was his bottom line that was concerned about. >> seven companies have pulled commercials from limbaugh's nationally syndicated show. online data company carbonite said it crossed the line and issued this statement. "we hope that our action will ultimately contribute to a more civilized public discourse." media expert e eric dezenhall h more. >> makes his living crossing the line. for every person who loudly protests, there are also people who silently agree with him. >> limbaugh had some defenders, but they were drowned out by the protests on o the left and critics on the right. for some republicans, there was also this concern. that the focus on the limbaugh controversy was distracting from the important issues and playing right into democrats' hands as both sides fight for that critical female vote. charlie and erica? jan, thank you. there is big news out of the nfl

about the virus begins in june of 2010 when it was first detected and isolated by a tiny company in bella ruse after a client in iran complained about a software glitch. within a month, a copy of the computer bug was being analyzed within a tight-knit community of security expert. it immediately grabbed the attention of liam omerko an operations manager for symantec. one of the largest anti-virus companies in the world. >> as soon as we saw it, we knew it was something completely different. steve kroft joins us. >> good morning, charlie can you summarize in a simple way, how they were able to do this and have that impact on the centrifuges in iran? >> somebody create aid virus designed to hit one specific target in the entire world. something that had a bunch of -- certain configuration of equipment that the computer, the virus was able to determine if it was the right target.

this is what it was looking for. it's one of the most ubiquitous pieces of machinery in the world. it's called a programmable logic computer. it's just a piece of plastic with some chips in it. it controls factories all over the world. this will tell you what chemicals and what amounts to put into a product that you're making. it will tell you when to heat up the plant or cool it down. it could be used to shut off a cooling system at a nuclear reactor. it was the first virus to attack this little piece of equipment. it was after a certain kind of -- >> by doing, they can affect the centrifuges in iran at a particular place? >> right. what it did, essentially the virus got in between the operators at the plant and the machinery on the floor. it got in here, rewrote the software and told the machines to do something entirely different without the operators of the plant knowing it. >> you spoke this your piece for

people who didn't see it with retired general mike hayden, who is former head of the nsa and cia director. there's a little bit more we want to play now. >> do you think it was an act of war? >> i would not call it an act of war. given my own background, steve, i mean, i've got this whole universe of things between peace and war called covert actions. i don't think whoever did this considered it to be an act of war. the iranians have not quite responded to it as if it were an act of war. it's in that space between the two. >> if the united states were involved in this and were to become involved in something like this, how high would the authorization have to go? >> you're asking a theoretical question? >> right. >> i'm going to give you a theoretical ak based upon my experience in government. something of this nature gets approved in the west wing. >> general hayden said a lot of things in which he made space between the fact of when he was in government making policy and where he is now. but he knows a lot of stuff. >> he knows a lot of stuff and

he knows a lot he can't say. he was director of cia for george bush at a time this would have been green lighted. >> what do they fear the most? >> well, i think that they fear somebody using something like this against us and the thing that's really interesting about it is that this virus as general hayden said, it's not like a conventional weapon that destroys itself along with the target. it's out there for people to copy. you can actually go online and find the formula for making this. the code. >> the footprint i think you referred to it. it really is a pandora's box that now has been opened. >> right. somebody else could turn around and modify it and use it against us if they can find a way into our computer system. >> go ahead. >> is there any indication that that's being done or anything being built right now? >> there's now another virus sort of moving around the world that a lot of people think was built by the same people or --

it uses the code of stux net. >> it seems to be extracting information from the plc's so that it can be used in another type scenario. this is a historic thing. it's going to be a component of war from now on. this was an historic event. it can be used to disrupt all sorts of things. >> the conventional wisdom or the perceived wisdom is that this might have been done by the israelis, but they could not have done it without u.s. help. >> i don't think so. i think that everybody feels that it was mostly a u.s. operation. everybody that we have talked to. >> a u.s. operation? >> u.s. operation. but obviously there was a lot of intelligence that was picked up on the ground. somebody knew how this plan operated and certainly i think the israelis have proved that they have a bunch people on the ground there. >> thank you, steve. more on this story, check out "60 minutes" overtime.com. when brad pitt and george clooney are on stage and barbra

to that you say? >> not at all. we wanted to make a very compelling film that could be told well in two hours. the book was incredible. you could have made a number of films on it. but i've always been interested in political strategists. our country is so polarized now. such an adversarial kind of approach to politics. i wanted to be in the room when these strategists said this is a way to answer that. this is a way to win it at all costs to crush our opponents. it just seemed like an astonishing decision. they had to rush. how did they get to that position? what did it feel like when this worked so well again and what was it like when she started to kind of go off the rails a little bit from their point of view. i was very fascinated by especially the story. >> they knew nothing about her when they selected her. >> they knew some about her. in five days, how much can you

the palin camp. but i think when you see the movie, and i did see it. you can almost feel empathy for sarah palin. was there a deliberate attempt to do that? was that just me? >> i'm glad you felt that way. because we were trying to humanize her, get past the iconography of which ever side you were on. whatever you thought about her was driven by the media impression. we felt there must be more going on under that. she was a very sympathetic person. she was at the beginning of it, she was under an incredible attack. she had a kid going off to iraq. she had a five-month-old baby with down's syndrome. two daughters, one pregnant and she's thrown on to the national stage. >> what's the relationship between mccain -- >> he's never said a negative word about her. that i found. he's very supportive of her. as far as i can tell, she continues to be supportive of him. i think he was grateful to her for helping him out through that

enormous price. the magic ingredient in america, you can change krur life with education. >> but aren't we at fault because of the debates. we ask the questions in the debates, not the candidates or the media should be asking these questions every day of every campaign. >> absolutely. no question about it. the media understands the importance of this question. but, again, you know there's so much debates even become so sound bite driven. so that people don't want to get into the heart and tough questions. how do you change a system where the poorest kids in america are now being undereducated. where other countries are going to beat us time and again because they prioritize education, they focus on recruiting the greatest teachers in their countries and insist every kid, no matter where, gets a high quality. >> do you think teachers get a fair shake in this debate? >> the great teachers should become america's heroes. it doesn't help to scapegoat anyone. we have to attract the best and brightest into teaching and reward those teachers that are

doing great work. what really strikes me is if you go to japan or south korea, you go to singapore, teachers are the heroes. >> yes. >> it's really critical. they should be. >> i'm trying to figure out, joel klein, how do we get people to understand that? i don't think people understand the link between economy and education. i don't think that they -- that a light bulb has gone off for america. >> you're absolutery right. in the 21st century, you need entirely different skills. when i started public school in new york, 60% of our workforce were high school dropouts. today it's less than 6%. if you don't have skills, this economy won't forgive you. the jobs that the people used to take that were not high skilled jobs are gone. they've been automated out of the system by technology. when you look at a young kid today in the third grade and fourth grade and she can't read and he can't do math, you can tell they won't be prepared. why we don't prioritize that. because that's the long-term investment and it long-term

strategy that changes lives. it changed my life. it changed so many other peoples lives. >> you were a surprise choice to be chancellor by mike bloomberg. another surprise, you left that job to become an executive for -- then we see you in london behind rupert murdoch. what role are you playing now and what tu tell us about that crisis today? >> what i'm doing at news corp. is running an education division that is developing software to bring high quality instruction to kids. in addition, as you pointed out, i was there when i started and was in london in terms of the phone hacking became an issue. at that point, rupert asked if i would help out. i've been spearheading to cooperate and get to the bottom of this. >> are you doing the internal investigation for news corp. of what actually went on with the newspapers in london? >> there's a team in london that's doing that. but that team reports in to me

and i report directly to the board. >> where does that stand today sh. >> it's a work in progress. but i think we're making progress. we'll get to the bottom of this. we'll make sure that whatever activities occurred that were improper, we fully report them and that the company moves forward. >> how should we view the resignation of james murdock to move from one job to another? >> i think james has come to new york and his focus has changed in the company. when you're in the middle of a heated debate, people want to overread things. but i think this is about james really moving to new york full-time and to reposition his role in the company. >> is there a new heir apparent? >> i don't get into that. >> this is not criminology. this is knowing what the conversation is. because a huge media company has been challenged because of some of the things that went on at some of its newspapers, fair must have? >> sure. >> it affects all kinds of things, including succession, a number of employees resigned. there's a question about the

newspaper division especially of this company and what came out of london. >> i would expect rupert murdoch who will be 81 next week, he will be there for a long time. he has a world class chief operating officer in chase carry. i think the core management team is solid and the company is moving forward even as we deal with the challenges. >> thank you very much for being here. >> thank you. keep focusing on education as you have been. >> thank you, charlie and gayle. >> you guys are doing great stuff. you really are. >> we like it. >> there's a book that you're not reading, this man can turn it into an incredible argument. believe how he does it. you're watching "cbs this morning" as joel klein does. e like it. >> there's a book that you're not readin(bell rings)can turn hi. good morning. big news. we're spreading the word about new honey bunches of oats fruit blends and their unique taste combinations. like peach/raspberry... and banana/blueberry. we're telling everyone.

with one flavor in the granola bunch and one on the flake. try some. mmm! two flavors. in harmony. yummy. four nutritious grains and two big fruit flavors

printed books, if you think they'll be a thing of the past may want to pay close attention to this next story. >> it's about a canadian artist. he sees beautiful pictures. jeff glor went up north to see for himself. jeff, good morning. >> the artist's name is guy laramee. what he does to books might seem strange until you see the finished results. when guy laramee goes to work, lab coat, rubber gloves, circular saw, he almost looks like he's a doctor going in for surgery. laramee is a long way from putting things back together. he takes them apart. cutting, shaving, excavating. turning vintage books into stunning landscapes. >> it's in china. >> laramee has been working as an artist for 30 years.

this idea only came to him in 1999 when he was in a metal shop in his native montreal and saw sandblasting cabinets. >> i took a book and put it in there. put the sandblasting gun on to it and that was it. >> this happened completely by happenstance? >> i don't know where this idea came from. within seconds, i saw the whole project unfolding. i saw the landscaping. >> 13 years later, the vision realized. incredibly detailed sculptures made only of paper and book bindings. a valley surrounded by lush hills. caves carved into a mountains e mountainside. canyons framing rivers. >> since i'm in love with books, often before destroying them i just go through them. >> people see what you do to books, do some people say, you can't -- books are sacred, why are you caring them up in.

>> i'm making them more sacred. what i do is a sacrifice. >> a sacrifice that laramee says makes a statement about our information age. can there be too much data? are we drowning in a sea of easy answers? >> i got drawn by this idea that, why do we need to know so many things? could you in fact, know more about the world by knowing less? >> these days, every single bit of knowledge you'd ever want is nothing more than a google search away. you think that's not necessarily a good idea? >> well, there's too much. we get lost. what we lose is ourselves. >> that sounds very eastern zen. gaining knowledge by erosion and not accumulation. it is. it's also hugely popular. his carvings sell for up to $20,000 apiece with demand rising. >> i remember having encyclopedia britannica

collection as a kid. it didn't look like this. >> i changed it a bit. >> he gets his ideas by walking into old bookstores. not by reading, but looking. >> i don't go to the movie anymore. i don't go to theater anymore. i don't even listen. i barely listen to music. but when i enter in the bookstore, it's like wow. >> wow quickly turns into work. as he whittles down all those words into scenery that can be so captivating, there are no words. >> i mean, landscape doesn't say anything. doesn't have -- the goal of convincing you of selling you ideas, it's beautiful. you feel more alive. you feel you're part of it. >> beautiful. >> yeah. >> how did you find him? >> we saw him online actually. now he's getting so many requests because so many people are following it. people are actually calling him and asking him to carve pictures of their pets or their dogs into

the side of his books he has politely declined the requests. he want to stick to landscaping. >> what happens to him now? >> well, he's going to keep making them. he can't keep up with demand right now. you saw him behind that piece of glass. he used to carve these books out in the open. but he developed serious health issues because he was breathing in all that dust. he has to do it differently as you can see behind that pane of glass in the sandblaster. >> is it harder? >> i think it is. but he's learned how to do it. more difficult to control for sure. >> i remember as a kid seeing the encyclopedia britannica. i had one of those. did you have a favorite one. >> i thought it was fascinating. it was eight feet long. some of the projects he spends up to four months working on. you can see how detailed they are. how much time he spends on them. >> amazing. >> i thought it was great. quick reminder. if you missed this morning's eye
