we begin with a look at today's "eye opener," your world in 90 seconds. they need to complete that investigation and get to the bottom of it. if they don't, congress will. >> the secret service under fire. after more reports of misconduct. >> another black eye for the elite agency. did agents party with strippers in el salvador, too? >> they do pretty much everywhere they go. that's part of their routine. >> if it turns out this is a recurring problem, what do you think should be done? >> hire more females. >> new warnings about terrorist attacks. >> fbi and homeland security says there's increased activity on jihadists websites. >> we have no credible information that terrorists are plotting attacks in the u.s. >> delta airlines flight from detroit to chicago quarantined. >> turns out this is all over bug bites. >> panacea. people are cleaning up after getting battered by a sudden storms. the winds were so powerful, they

overturned cars. >> in colorado a bear took a long fall. falling 15 feet out of the tree. >> the colts select andrew luck. >> i was more nervous to come out here than meet mr. goodell. >> that's how we like it. >> all that. >> and the younger holding what we're told was a sausage. it's like they are asking for the world to insert a joke. >> elderly sisters about to board a bus were attacked by a purse-snatcher. >> there was no attempt to cover it up. >> unlike the australian mr. mcgoo. >> and all that matters -- >> i promise you, the president has a big stick. >> i guess we can always count on joe biden, can't we? >> on "cbs this morning." >> biden is now banned from the congressional gym locker room.

welcome to "cbs this morning." the secret service sex scandal is not going away. in fact, it is expanding. two weeks after that incident in cartagena, colombia, the government is investigating reports of unprofessional behavior by agents if nofour counts going back 12 years. >> on capitol hill there's growing demand for an outside agency to take over the investigation. bill plante at the white house, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the secret service is working to quickly wrap up that scandal is colombia, but meanwhile it's gotten reports of more misbehaving and rule-breaking by agents overseas. dispute over payment to a prostitute in cartagena has new charges of hard partying around the globe. seattle cbs affiliate kiro tv

said they visited strip clubs prior to the president's trip in el salvador. >> we're trying to track down -- >> reporter: the secret service is looking into that report and some others, including accusations that secret service personnel traveling with former president clinton partied at strip clubs on a visit to buenos a aires and they went to amos cow nightclub known for sexual atmosphere. new allegations come soon after a hearing wednesday in which senators were assured that the colombia scandal was an isolated incident. >> that's why we need a thorough investigation. not just by the white house, not just by dhs, but by congress. that's part of our oversight responsibilities. i think it's an obligation we owe the american people. >> reporter: edwin donovan said the agency was taking a preliminary look into new

reports. any information brought to our attention that can be assessed as credible, he said in a statement, will be followed up on in an appropriate manner. white house press secretary jay carney said the president won't pass judgment on whether there's a pattern of misbehavior at the secret service until all investigations have been completed. >> when we travel abroad on official trips, we're representing the people of this country. and we should do so by conducting ourselves in an appropriate manner. >> reporter: meanwhile, the continued attention to what happened in cartagena two weeks ago has upset columbians. columbia's ambassador to u.s. is calling it sensational it's and unfair and asking the white house for a new apology. the state democrat says the president and secretary of state both did apologize when they were in colombia. charlie, erica in. >> thank you. with us iowa senator chuck grassley, ranking republican on the senate judiciary committee,

leading the call for an independent investigation. senator, good morning. >> good morning, charlie. >> who's best to do this investigation and what do you believe they will find? >> inspector general of the homeland security would be the one to make sure that the secret service investigation is thorough. inspectors have a great deal of independence, and they are the ones that ought to be doing this unbothered by anybody else in the department or the administration. and what we want to find out now, is that this is more than what the president said a couple days ago, that it was a few knuckleheads and the secret service is a very good organization. and i believe the secret service is a very good organization, but we need to find out if this is part of the culture of that organization. and if it is, then we have a

very, very big problem from two standpoints. one is the national security of the united states protected and is the president's life properly protected? >> based on what you know, do you believe it is part of the culture of the secret service? >> until right now, the answer is, i did not think it was part of the culture. when we had secretary napolitano before us on wednesday, she said they've gone back 2 1/2 years and nothing's happened. well, then we've had these reports come out and we need an independent investigation. and what bothered me when i asked her about the independence of the inspector general, she said they had a memorandum of understanding between that and other divisions within her department and the secret service. well, that looks to me like that that's not the independence that i expect of an inspector general. and in order to get to the bottom of this and make sure

that there's credibility to the investigation, we can't have the white house saying they looked at the operation last saturday and sunday and came to the conclusion there was nobody in the white house involved. and then we have people like secretary napolitano telling us they've gone back two years and nothing's shown up. then we've had all these allegations. we've got to get to the bottom of the allegations in order to know whether our national security is being protected and the president's being properly protected. >> you're laying out exactly why you want that independent investigation. who do you think, though, is ultimate responsible here? is it secretary napolitano? is it the head of the secret service? >> well, you know, when i was first briefed by director sullivan on this and he told me -- my benchmark is the inspector general involved. and i said, when are you going to get the inspector general involved? and he says, well, they're involved now. well, maybe they aren't involved

in the independent way they should be involved. if it just the 12 knuckleheads that were involved, as the president said, then i'd say director sullivan got no problems. but if it goes much deeper, you know nothing happens -- nothing's changed in washington if heads don't roll. >> whose head should roll, senator? >> right now i'm not going to draw any conclusions on that. but we've got to make sure the military people involved, the president's advance people, the communication office of the white house and the secret service, from now on into the future, this culture can't persist. not only for the reputation of the united states, but for the protection of the president and for our national security to be properly guarded. >> senator grassley, great to have you here. thank you. >> thank you, charlie. tuesday marks one year since osama bin laden was killed in a u.s. raid. sources tell cbs news there's

been an increase in messages on jihadist extremist websites calling for terror attacks on that anniversary. >> but there's no indication that any specific attacks are being planned. john miller, former deputy director of intelligence, is here. good morning. >> good morning. >> no credible plans that we have discovered? >> no credible speck threat. but i think when you look at the combination of factors, which is, one, we know al qaeda likes symbolic dates. in the search in abbottabad, bin laden was writing attacks on thanksgiving, christmas, new year's, july 4th and the 9/11 n anniversary. so i think we have to add that anniversary to that factor. >> two things that are interesting to me. what kind of attack are they capable of carrying out? secondly, how much do we know

now about their own intent on capability? >> well, i think that their intent is high. i think their capability is low. this is talking about al qaeda central. and that's because of, you know, the debilitating factors of drone strikes, the loss of key leadership, the death of bin laden. but i think what they've done is, they've increasingly sought to leverage the intent of others. and downgraded to their capability. what they've advocated is you saw the attack in mumbai. you saw the other attacks where it was just people with either homemade bombs and guns. the guy in france a couple weeks ago. they've been on those websites urging people to carry out something within your capabilities. and that's why the government kind of couldn't not issue this alert, to tell local law enforcement to be paying very close attention. >> but also what you lay out here, too, is a bunch of sort of little random -- seemingly random events. i would think it's hard to stay on top of all of that. is so, what are they looking for

in terms of determining this threat and where and when it could be? >> well, in terms of the joint terrorism task forces, this is the combination of fbi and police and fbi field across the country. there's now 103 of those. that's a major effort. so, what they're doing is they're going back at their human sources. they are going back to their cases and looking for signs, has started to move suddenly faster? has there been a purchase of weapons? if we're supposed to meet with that source in two weeks, let's meet with them this week and say, in case, have you heard anything? they're ramping that up. the purpose of the warning, the memo from fbi is on set local law enforcement on high alert to make sure, if you see anything that could be a sign, don't think about it. report it in. there's breaking news this morning also, which is in denmark they've arrested three individuals in a terror plot involving conventional weapons, guns, and you also see that global effort. >> linked to al qaeda? >> that is not yet been

determined. you've got an individual from egypt, one from turkey, another from jordan, all in their 20s. but they weren't arrested for possession of firearms because of the firearms. they were arrested in the course of a terrorism investigation. >> we also note that the top bomb maker in yemen has resurfaced after an assumption he was dead. >> right. and that's mr. asiri, and he's one of the most creative bomb makers, one of the most dangerous people we have seen, the inventor of the underwear bomb, which not only was on flight 252 headed for detroit that could have killed hundreds of people, but a lot of people don't know, he had tried that same bomb first with his own brother as the carrier to murder the head of saudi intelligence. of course, his brother died. the head of saudi intelligence didn't. he was also behind the printer bomb. we know he's back at his workbench trying to think, what is the next thing? >> thank you. this morning lawyers for john edwards get another chance to grill his main accuser. >> on thursday that campaign

staffer admitted taking hundreds of thousands of dollars from edwards' donors. erin moriarty is at the courthouse in greensboro, north carolina, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, erica. good morning, charlie. yesterday was not a good day for the prosecution's key witness. the defense is paying him as a vindictive liar who started making up stories when his meal ticket ran out. at first the defense's attention to detail seemed to leave some jurors bored and distracted but that didn't last for very long. what started was a whimper, ended with a roar. the defense's methodical and painstaking grilling of john edwards' aide yesterday. abby lowell honed in on the inconsistency. the judge warned lowell his cross would be cut short if he didn't focus on the crux of the case.

the near million from wealthy donors used to hide edwards' mistress and love child. you're going to get to the money, right, she asked? he did. under relentless questioning, lowell got young to admit that much of the money that came from wealthy fiphilanthropist rachel bunny miller, came after young requested it, not edwards. and the money went not to edwards' campaign but into construction of young's own house. speaking of additions like a pool and a home theater, young confessed, we loss our sense of perspective and the house got more and more extravagant. lowell drove the point home asking young, did any money go to mr. edwards or his family? young said, no. but most damaging to young's credibility is when he conceded that he got the late fred barren to reimburse him for expenses bunny melon had already played. >> he looked terrible. he looked defeated. and i think it was because the

truth was becoming apparent that this case has a lot to do with the money that went into pocket and benefitted him and not necessarily the campaign. >> reporter: the cross will probably continue this morning. the defense in its opening statement, the defense attorney said that they would be looking, following the money and certainly that's what they're going to continue doing today. there is still hundreds of thousands of dollars not accounted for. so, i think we're going to hear about that also this morning. >> erin, despite mr. young's apparent difficulties in questioning of his own conduct, how is he as a witness? how is he withstanding the obvious attacks on his credibility? >> reporter: well, he was so comfortable during direct. that's usually the case. he almost every answer has been, i don't recall, which then has loued the defense attorney abby lowell to pull out a statement he made or a document and contradict him. so, he has not been doing that well on the stands.

of course, the prosecution will have a chance to redirect and kind of rehabilitate him. i was thinking about it, and i really think -- i mean, the prosecution's got to know they had problems with andrew young. i think they put him on first so they could lay on you the case. then what they'll do is bring in other witnesses to bolster his testimony. >> erin, thank you. a website created on behalf of george zimmerman has raced more than $200,000. zimmerman is charged with second degree murder in the shooting death of florida teen trayvon martin. zimmerman's lawyer says he learned about the money this week and will inform the judge today. that website is now off-line. zimmerman free on $10,000. time to show you some of this morning's headlines from around the globe. britain's guardian reports the united states is taking about 9,000 marines off the japanese island okinawa. that had been the source of

vice president biden gave a speech on foreign policy at nyu this morning. he's the best. >> now is the time to heed the timeless advice from teddy roosevelt. speak softly and carry a big stick, end of quote. i promise you the president has a big stick. >> trust me, i found out the hard way. >> he said, trust me, i found out the hard way. >> he did, charlie, yes,he did. moving along. a report this morning says senate democrats have investigated extreme cia interrogation techniques such as waterboarding and found little evidence they helped stop

terrorist. >> jose rodriguez was one of the creators of the cia's enhanced interrogation programs is defending it in his first ever interview with lesley stahl for sunday's "60 minutes". >> reporter: central to the interrogation was sleep deprivation. abu zubada was kept awake for three straight days. >> sleep deprivation works. i'm sure with all the traveling you do, you've suffered from jet lag. when you don't get a good night's sleep for two or three days, it's very hard. >> reporter: now, you don't really mean to suggest it's like jet lag. i mean, you make it sound like it's benign when you say stuff like that. >> well -- >> reporter: going to the gym and jet -- >> well, the feelings you get when you don't -- >> reporter: i mean, these were enhanced interrogation techniques. other people call it torture. this wasn't benign in any sense of the word.

>> i'm not trying to say they were benign. the problem here is people don't understand this was not about hurting anybody. this program was about instilling a sense of hopelessness and despair on the terrorist, on the detainee, so that he would conclude on his own that he was better off cooperating with us. >> lesley stahl is here. good morning. >> good morning. >> your impression of this guy with these remarkable candor. >> oh, my goodness. jack nicholson in "a few good men." he was keeping america safe, don't you get it? he doesn't give an inch, not an inch. he is 100% sure that what he did in these harsh interrogations was absolutely right, he doesn't have a shred of doubt that what

he did saved lives. no matter what question i asked he came back in a self-assured way. >> because he believes those techniques, as people tell them, where other terrorists were located and they could go get them? >> that's what he says. of course, there's a dispute over that, but that's his position. his book and his interview with us is a 100% defense of these techniques and an argument they work. >> is there a battle within government, fbi, cia, about what techniques work? >> absolutely. the fbi that had the first interrogation with the first terrorist detainee they captured, al qaeda person, his name was abu zubada. they claim everything he gave he gave before the harsh techniques started, when he was first captured. the fbi got first crack at him. they say all the good stuff they got. this man, jose rodriguez was the

one who said, we need harsh techniques and went out and developed the program for all these things. it wasn't just waterboarding, it was sleep deprivation, food manipulation, all of it, slapping. he went out and built that program. he says that they -- that that program resulted in all kinds of discoveries and stoppings of plots and things like that. and it's a dispute that we journalists can't resolve because these interrogations are still classified. so, we can't go and see yet what the truth is. >> what came out of either technique. i would imagine at this point, given everything you've said about him and his feelings, he's probably not very happy with the way things are handled with the current administration. >> oh, no. he shows his, i would say, contempt for president obama, who stopped the interrogation program and said it was torture. which he denies. he says we went right up to the

border, right up to the border, but everything was legal. he and the cia have gotten a legal opinion that what they were doing was legal, the waterboarding, sleep deprivation, slapping, all of that, they had a legal opinion. they had to pull those up and down the line -- >> and he pushed for that, too, because he wanted to make sure it was in writing, and everything signed off on it and he had covered his bases. >> the cia was not going to hold the bag. to your point about the president, he says very dramatically that when president obama stopped the interrogation program, they moved over to the drones. so, now we kill people and we never capture anybody anymore. take no prisoner. and he says, rather i thought dramatically, why is it more ethical to kill somebody than to do what we did? >> why did he leave the cia? >> he left the cia somebody he

had ordered the videotaping of the initial harsh interrogation. and actually, they initially started the videotaping of these interrogations to prove they weren't abusing these prisoners. but they then had a record of these interrogations. and he ordered them destroyed. and then there was an investigation of that. he was completely cleared in the investigation. >> now he has a book. >> and now he has a book. >> and more on "60 minutes," full report sunday night. >> thanks. a musical treasure is now coming out after 40 years. louis armstrong's last known trumpet performance. we'll listen to it along with jazz great wynton marsalis. stay with us. you're watching "cbs this morning."
