i'm brianna keilar. thank you so much for starting your morning with us. >>> we begin this morning with a cnn world exclusive. let's get straight to cleveland and cnn national correspondent susan candiotti. >> hi, brianna. when ariel castro was arrested on charges of kidnapping and raping three women for over a decade in his cleveland home, police also arrested his two brothers, showing their faces to the world. now, in the minds of many all three men were monsters. but last thursday police released pedro and onil castro saying neither man had anything to do with the alleged kidnappings and torture of amanda berry, gina dejesus and michelle knight. now, for the first time since their release, both men are sitting down and talking exclusively with cnn's martin savidge about their brother and their ordeal. they are grateful the young women and 6-year-old child little girl are free and safe, but haunted by missed clues followed by the media and receiving death threats for something they say they did not do.

>> good morning, brianna.o love loss between tiger and sergio over the years and after yesterday it doesn't look like these two are going to be buddies any time soon. all started on the second hole during yesterday's third round. tiger was in the trees while sergio was on the fairway. after he took his shot, he immediately looked over towards tiger. he claims tiger wasn't paying attention and caused the crowd to cheer during his back swing. during the rain delay, sergio would voice his displeasure with tiger. >> you do have a feel when the other guy is going to hit. he must have pulled a 5 or 3 out of the rough and everyone started screaming, that didn't help very much. >> they told me he already hit so i pulled the club and was getting ready to play my shot and i hear his comments afterwards and not real surprising that he is complaining about something. >> oh, it's not done yet because of the weather. tiger and sergio didn't finish their round yesterday so they will have to play four more holes together toda

brianna? >> susan candiotti, thank you for that report from cleveland. be sure to tune in to "starting point" 7:00 a.m. eastern tomorrow for cnn's exclusive interview with ariel castro's brothers. >>> new details of the horrors that police say unfolded for nearly a decade there in cleveland. we know that they were gagged and chained in the basement of this cleveland home. now, a source tells cnn affiliate woio that the women spent several years in shackles underground. according to affiliate woio it was only after berry's daughter was born and she is 6 years old that the women were moved to separate rooms upstairs. and dna tests now confirm that ariel castro is that girl's father. the source tells woio that castro would stop feeding any woman who acted out or tried to escape. according to the station t was berry's daughter, the girl, who told the women that castro left the house last monday. setting the stage for her mother's daring escape. >>> now, dramatic new video into cnn of police breaking down the door of a a riel castro's home to free michelle kn

as you say, brianna, it was inevitable. any place he was buried was going to cause some controversy. the sheriff in the community was very blunt. if i'd known this was going to happen, i would have done something to try to stop it. if i could undo it, i would. he said he had absolutely no prior notice. brianna, this entire situation has been a bit of a circus, and for the victims and the their families, it's not a welcome distraction. they have mixed feelings about how he was buried, where he was buried, but at the end of the day, it takes away energy, and it's too much of a distraction when they're still trying to recover. >> is anyone concerned about the fact there is a physical plot of land where this many booing -- where the alleged bomber, where the boston bomber is buried. i know this has been a concern in other cases where we've seen terrorists and them having a physical burial plot, that there may be a concern this could cause attention, that people may show up and deface the area. has anyone raised that concern? >>

let's go back to brianna keilar in cleveland. >> thank you. we'll be watching that as well as other headlines, including the obama administration which is opn defensive over a deadly attack which killed the ambassador and three other americans in libya. apparently, officials are more involved than they first let on in tweaking those talking points the white house used to describe last september's attack. cnn white house correspondent jim acosta is at the white house. jim? >> reporter: white house and state department officials are trying to make the case that they made the adjustments to those talking points in order to preserve the integrity of the investigation into the benghazi attack. that does not answer all of the questions about what the white house has said in the past about those talking points. three days after the deadly attack on the u.s. consulate in benghazi, obama administration officials were firing e-mails back and forth to each other, discussing just how to explain to congress what happened. according to a congressional sourc

our story from brianna keilar. >> suzanne, james comey is currently a law pros professor at columbiaity. nine years ago he was number two at the justice department when george w. bush was here in the white house. and during that time he was a major player in one of the most dramatic episodes of the bush administration. like a scene out of a hollywood thriller, a critically ill attorney general is in urgent care at a washington hospital, two of the president's top aides rush to his bedside hoping to pressure him to sign off on a secret wiretapping program the night before it's set to expire. this was real though. and what happened that night march 10, 2004, put james comey, president obama's pick for his next fbi director, in the headlines. >> i was very upset. i was angry. i thought i had just witnessed an effort to take advantage of a very sick man. >> comey was attorney general john ash kroft's deputy. and with ashcroft very sick, he was the acting attorney general. with then white house council gonzalez visited the hospital room, a last-ditch effort to get signature. comey caught

brianna kieler is at the white house this morning. even president obama's friends say he has to do something dramatic to turn the tide, that he needs to fire someone. >> reporter: i think you're already seeing perhaps the way paved on that because last night the white house put out a statement from president obama saying at least when it comes to this controversy involving the irs that he is having his treasury secretary hold accountable the people in the irs who are responsible for this. i think when you see the report, that's going to mean not necessarily just the folks at the irs who executed this but also those who are overseeing this because the report cites ineffective management. but the question is, is that going to be i guess you could say dramatic enough to show that he's really leading on these issues? the white house, and you heard from jay carney's comments there, carol, feels that it's in a bit of a pickle here because when it comes to the irs story, they were loathe to be seen as too much involving themselves in what is
