elizabeth palmer is in tripoli, and david martin at the pentagon. david, the u.s.says it's operating only in support of nato, but we're doing a lot more than we thought, aren't we? >> reporter: well, the pentagon revealed today that despite assurances the u.s. was no longer striking targets on the ground. american jets have, in fact, attacked libyan air defense sites three times in the last ten days. add in aerial refueling, reconnaissance, and electronic jamming missions, and the u.s. is flying 35% of all the nato missions. >> couric: so why are the europeans and the rebels complaining that americans aren't doing enough? >> reporter: well, they want the u.s. not to just attack qaddafi's air defenses. they want the u.s. to attack his ground forces. and specifically, they want to bring in the a.c.-130 gunship. here's the problem-- this is a video of a british jet dropping a bomb on a libyan tank. it destroys the tank, but then look what happens. all the libyan soldiers that were operating with that tank flee in pickup trucks. it's hard to bomb a pickup truck, but yo

>> couric: david martin. david, thank you. now, to libya, where moammar qaddafi's forces have been fighting rebels for more than two months. today, the u.s. ambassador said the death toll could be as high as 30,000. the situation in libya dominated my interview today with british prime minister david cameron at 10 downing street here in london. i began by asking him about a statement by a government official that britain must be ready to be in libya for the long haul. >> i think we should be both patient and persistent-- patient because, yes, this does take time to get this right, but persistent because we are doing, with our allies, absolutely the right thing. we must keep turning up the pressure, military pressure, diplomat pressure, political pressure, so that we give libyans a better chance at a better life. >> couric: can you envision arming the rebels in a more significant way? i know that great britain is currently provide some equipment and military advisers, but it's in its sixth week, this military intervention, and

>> couric: david martin at the pentagon tonight. david, thank you. over the weekend, nearly 500 taliban fighters escaped from a prison in kandahar, the largest in southern afghanistan. a hole in a cell floor led to a thousand-foot tunnel that took months to dig. today, a spokesman for afghan president hamid karzai called the escape a disaster. meanwhile, in syria, nearly 350 anti-government protesters have been killed in recent weeks. today, the white house repeated its demand that president bashar assad stop the slaughter. but today, assad took aim at the southern city where it began. said western journalists that has been barred from syria, barry peterson reports from london. >> reporter: as demonstrations escalate, so has the government's force. in dara, army tanks were used for the first time in this uprising against protesters. people in the city could only answer with rocks. this woman was in dara. "bodies on the ground," she says. "my family is dying." it's not just protesters under attack. human rights activists are being hunted down; among t

erica. >> hill: david martin at the pentagon tonight. david, thanks. the rebels are under attack in their one stronghold in the west, misurata, as they claim qaddafi's forces have killed 38 civilians there in the past two days, while further east rebels continued their retreat today. mandy clark was with them as they fled brega in disarray. >> reporter: firing at random, and at nothing in particular, the greatest danger at the front is often the rebels themselves. these men cannot decide who in their force should move forward. so who's on the front lines? no one seems to know. then, a rebel spots cars in the distance. his reaction? "attack them," he says. and off they go. it's unclear where the front is until we're upon it. i saw a flash up there. as we turn around, rebels fire wildly over us. back further, another line of defense comes under attack. they faced some incoming fire and now all the rebels are pulling all the way back out of here. which is the main problem-- anti-qaddafi forces are rarely able to stand their ground under any kind of attack

david martin, cbs news, the pentagon. >> couric: now to what could be a major development in libya. britain said today it's sending 20 military advisors to train the rebels there is, but some members of parliament say they fear the country will get dragged deeper into libya's civil war. british warplanes continue to strike qaddafi's forces. new videos shows them taking out communication facilities near surt. in syria today, security forces opened fire on protestors in the city of homs, killing as many as four people, this on the same day that bashar assad's government lifted an emergency law that had been in place for 48 years-- with a catch. only government-approved demonstrations will be allowed. meanwhile, in cuba, the changing of the guard. the communist party elected new leaders today and for the first time fidel castro is not among them. the former president, who is 84, did make a surprise appearance at the congress where his younger brother raul castro was named to replace him as party leader. and still ahead here on the "cbs evening news," one year after the b.p. spill, wher

>> excellent. >> -- david martin as well. >> we have rush holt and david martin. back to you, and then to the audience. >> thank you. i began by saying i don't think that we should be planning for major changes in immigration law in coming months. so the question is how do we use what we have and one of the things that i certainly am going to take back to my colleagues on the appropriations committee is that they should make clear to the department that funding sufficient for that number of deportations should not be interpreted as a quota to reach. i, it's possible that's what they had in mind. i hope not and i certainly want to take that, to take that back. i've been listening very closely and i think i detected a significant difference in the approach to the existing law as discussed by amy gottlieb and ted alden and especially lucas guttentag and john sand wig. mr. sand wick -- sandwig. everything comes back to you and you're the enforcement agency. >> [inaudible]. >> i believe i heard you say that we are targeting populations that pose a security threat. ther

david martin has the latest this morning on that from the pentagon. david, good morning to you. >> good morning, jeff. >> you have got it right. eight nato troops at least some, if not all of them, americans, killed when an afghan army air force officer got in some sort of argument and opened fire. we don't know the substance of the argument or why so many soldiers from nato were hit. aparnltly, no afghan soldiebega soldiers were killed. this undermines the whole strategy in afghanistan, to build up the afghan national security forces so that u.s. troops no longer have to do the fighting. here, we have the people we are counting on as our exit strategy suddenly opening fire on nato troops. >> david, incidents like this have been a continuing problem, right? >> well, there have been. sometimes, it is as a result of an argument. other times, it is as a red light of infiltral traitors, taliban infiltrators who go there to get a chance to kill an american. >> david martin, appreciate your reporting. >>> in syria, witnesses say more tanks and troops rolled

building believed to contain gadhafi's office and library, cbs news national security correspondent david martin has the latest for us from the pentagon. david, good morning. do we know at this point where gadhafi is now, where he was during the strikes? >> we do not know where gadhafi is or was at the time of the strike. this was a preplanned strike, in other words, planned in advance, so this was not based on knowledge of gadhafi's whereabouts, it was designed to take out a command and control center and it did apparently knock libyan tv off the air for about 30 minutes last night. even though the u.s. is flying predator drones over libya now and predator drones used in other parts of the world to kill specific members of al qaeda, the u.s. insists it is not trying to kill gadhafi. gadhafi is not a target. erica. >> and yet it's interesting the u.s. insisting that they are not trying to kill gadhafi but three members of the senate armed services speaking out calling for more to be done to drive him from power. senator graham the most forceful saying gadhafi needs to wake up every day wondering

david ratcliffe. the word on the street is that southern doesn't really favor carbon capture and storage because you don't have the geology in the southeast. >> martin i think the truth is that we don't know where we have storage capability in this nation at this point in time. we have... we haven't even come close to defining what will be required in storage, what are the legal liabilities and what are the permitting requirements; much less the infrastructure needed to develop that storage and to move the carbon, the co2 into that storage, whether it's pipelines or trucks or whatever it is. we haven't even scratched the surface yet. >> i think there's a reality check going on about carbon capture and storage right now. there was huge, rosy optimism about carbon capture and storage. it was a... it was really the quintessential silver bullet. it would allow you to take what was fundamentally a dirty fuel and burn it cleanly. cheap and dirty fuel and you can burn it cleanly. and at least a huge chunk of the problem would be solved. what's wrong, i think, is that reality is intruding. >> and at a certain point, you have to ask, well, if i'm going to go
