computers by removing them from the defense department and sending them over to the cia they can be more easily shielded from ever having to be made public now mcgrath and order since the only copies of the military's records about the seals been lot of mission to the cia that's because the raid was actually run by the covert agency and legally the cia has special authority to prevent the release of operational files the defense department can also prevent the release of its own military files that can be contested in court and a judge can then compel the pentagon to turn over non-sensitive portions of records that isn't true for the cia now the true troubling thing about all this is that by secretly moving the records it allows the pentagon to tell the media that it just can't find the documents inside the defense department and will make ravin allegedly said it was done to protect the names of personnel involved in the raid this covert play could represent a new strategy for the u.s. government when it comes to shielding sensitive activities from the public now this clandestine mo

in july, the department of defense stated very clearly, and i'm quoting the department, the provision has not hindered the department from purchasing the fuel we need today. worldwide, to support military missions, but it sets an important baseline in developing the fuels we need for the future, end quote. the gentleman would indicate there's nearly a 20-fold difference in the price of renewables and the price of petroleum at the pump today. cents ae of $3 and some gallon and $4 a gallon can be purchased close to this building. many of these fuels have to be ansported to places like afghanistan. there even an additional cost that is worked into that 20-fold increase. and additionally, i do not think that we need to complicate the department's efforts to provide energy options. we want to give our war fighters as many options as possible when they are in the field to take advantage of. this section also does not prevent the sale of petroleum products, nor does it prevent federal agencies from buying these fuels if they need them. instead, it prevents the federal government from proppin

the department of defense agrees. before the house budget committee last year, secretary of defense leon panetta when asked if there was a way to create a better partnership between local communities and the department of defense said i'd be happy to engage in that process. the only way to achieve savings is to be able to have the clean up and do it expeditiously. there are lots of things, he said, i think we can do to improve the process. i appreciated chairman young reply on the house floor last july when asked if the defense appropriations subcommittee could commit to helping increase funding for environmental remediation on formerly used defense sites and chairman young said, absolutely yes, i'd very much like to do this. i believe we need to do it. i hope we have the opportunity to do it right this year. the funding levels would restore the account to fiscal ear 2013 levels by redirecting $2.-- $25.1 million from the general combat vehicle, a program which has been called into question by the c.b.o., c.r.s. and w

i received information from the department of defense yesterday. guantanamo bay clause for fiscal year 2012 was millions of dollars. for fiscal year 2013, estimated $454 million. do the math. we are spending $2.7 million per year for each a detainee held at guantanamo bay. what does it cost to put a prisoner and keep them in the safest and most secure prison in america? $78,000 a year against $2.7 million. this would be fiscally irresponsible wearing ordinary economic times. it is even worse when the department of defense is struggling with the impacts of sequestration coming including the furloughs and cutbacks and training for troops. every day soldiers and sailors serving at guantanamo are doing a magnificent job under difficult circumstances. i went to the southern command in miami. i met with the man in charge with this responsibility. they are saddened with this assignment. they are doing what they are supposed to do. at great risk and i great separation from their family and personal challenges, they are excepting this assignment. they look

abouto remain concerned the impact on the defense department.it is not just that i have, as a member of this committee and personal views, strong affinity for the men and women who serve because half, but of the reductions in spending that were included in the budget control act have fallen on 1/6 of the united states government spending, the defense department. this is a disproportionate reduction in spending, in my opinion, to our defense department. it is at a level that is troubling to me. i am ranking on the budget committee. i have seen the numbers. other areasok for within our government to find some savings as well. example, medicaid has no cuts, social security has no cuts, medicare has a little, but it did not help the defense department. spendingused to reduce and other departments. food stamps has gone up fourfold in the last 10-12 years. zero cuts. we are at a point where we've to deal withut how this. i do believe you are being asked cut.ke a disproportionate congress should work with the president, the commander-in- to help ushe n

they do help us defend our own networks inside the department of defense and defend the nation againstcyber attacks. enforcement and the department of homeland security will play an important role. operations if we end .p finding ourselves in a war we need to study and look at it. we are short on money. it will cost a lot to develop that capability. it is not there all the time. i think you make a fair point. we need to look closely as to whether this makes sense financially. >> i would like to work with you both on this. is something everyone cares deeply about solving. one of the things i want to get your thoughts on is the military has had a change of position on article 60. it could take them outside the chain of command and still maintain command climate control. why do you think removing article 30 would be different in any way? i would imagine that decision would not have a different impact am removing article 60. 60 -- we had put in place over time in our judicial system. and ourchanisms military judges and prosecutors that allowed us to consider changing the authorities and ch

it adds up to a total of $600 billion for the department of defense.learly the most spending of any federal agency. host: how to sequestration affect these numbers? guest: we do not know. ifwill be 52 billion cut sequestration happens next year. it is the smallest it has been since probably the start of 9/11. you heard him talk a little bit about intelligence and spy issues. you can ask questions about the defense bill this week and the discussions that took place. here's how you can do so -- the shift to overseas operations, the focus is on afghanistan? host guest: that is where we are spending the money. even intelligence agencies are closing down bases in afghanistan. host: when it came to the bill as a whole, how did secretary hegel weigh in on this? guest: he did not weigh in on this. not on the defense parts of it. that is the larger issue. it doesn't really solve the overall budget crisis so he threatened to veto this bill even if it is passed in isolation. host: another aspect before we take calls, when it comes to the topic of foreign aid what

more than half a million defense department employees face furloughs this week. unmarked police cars goes after people texting while driving. and a memorable afternoon for families from newtown, connecticut. those stories when the "cbs evening news" continues. ntinues. and we were out on the streets. [ whispering ] shhh. it's only a dream. and we have home insurance. but if we made a claim, our rate would go up... [ whispering ] shhh. you did it right. you have allstate claim rate guard so your rates won't go up just because of a claim. [ whispering ] are we still in a dream? no, you're in an allstate commercial. so get allstate home insurance with claim rate guard... [ whispering ] goodnight. there are so many people in our bedroom. [ dennis ] talk to an allstate agent... [ doorbell rings ] ...and let the good life in. this was me. then i found dr. scholl's pain relief orthotics. they reduce the impact on my lower body. so i feel less pain and more energized. dr. scholl's pain relief orthotics-- pain relief that starts with your feet. i'm a believer. and i have

according to updated information i received from the department of defense just yesterday on time ofention cost for fiscal year 2012 are $448 million m. for fiscal year 2013 estimated at $454 million. do the math. 166 prisoners, $454 million. we are spending $2.7 million per year for each detainee held at guantÁnamo bay. what does it cost to put a prisoner and keep him in the safest and most secure prison in america in florence colorado? $78,000 a year. against 2.7 million we are spending at guantÁnamo. this would be fiscally responsible during ordinary economic times but it's even worse when the department of defense are struggling to deal with the impact of sequestration including the furloughs and cutbacks in training for our troops. every day the soldiers and sailors serving at guantÁnamo are doing a magnificent job under difficult circumstances. i went to the southern command in miami and i met with the men who were in charge of this responsibility. i can tell you that they are saddened by this assignment that they are doing exactly what they're supposed to do. at great risk and

principally to help us defend our own networking inside the department of defense to defend the nationgainst cyberattacks. law enforcement, department of homeland security have a lead there. we play an important role in assisting them. there's a potential for cyber -- and support of combat and commander if we find ourself. where are the national guard fits to the three niches is something we need to study and look at. we're short of money. it's going cost a lot to develop the cape inability the guard. it's not all the time for us. then again, i think you make a fair point there's expertise out there. >> that we want. >> yeah. i think we need to look very closely and soberly whether it makes sense financially. >> i would like to work with you both on this issue. we obviously have been spending a lot of time on sexual assault in the military. it's something that everyone cares deeply about resolving. one of the thing i want to get your thought on. the military had a chance of position on article 60 we with take article 60 authority outside the chain of command and maintain good order of

dead the unarmed black teenager trayvon martin and the court ruled zimmerman acted in self defense department of justice is holding on to his weapon and other evidence some of the prospect of a federal civil rights investigation cinnamon's acquittal sparked outrage across america thousands declaring it was racial discrimination i spoke to bernie's king the daughter of martin luther king jr. a lot of groups in america feel oppressed i think for those of us in the african-american community because we've had such a long history of oppression since we've been in this country it makes it a little bit more intense i'm going to look at the statistics in a lot of different categories in america whether we're talking about the criminal justice system education health care wealth there are great disparity still as it relates to the african-american community and so you know this particular case i think to me is a sign and a wake up call that we have to finish or continue the unfinished work of martin luther king jr i think perhaps that's why ironically we have the name trayvon martin not that he is ma

. >> reporter: the most recent report from congress' investigative arm said defense department activitiestaminated soil and water with chemicals ranging from solvents to nerve agents at more than 31,000 sites. 21,000 of those areas are on active military installations. the worry at fort bliss is that soldiers or employees may have ingested radioactive particles, possibly from special paint used on the bunker floor. it's been worn down over the years. who are the people who potentially could have been exposed to radiation here? >> anyone that went in the bunker. and also potentially anyone that came in contact that used those weapons. we think that anyone that handled those weapons is safe. >> reporter: but investigators say it will take months to determine how many people may have been exposed to radiation. anna werner, cbs news, fort bliss, texas. >> pelley: we learned more today about the capture of one of mexico's most wanted drug lords. mexican marines caught miguel morales was caught before dawn yesterday just across the border from texas. he was traveling with his body guard, his ac

oh, it cost our defense department $34 million. there is only one little problem. military has no plans to use it. and with u.s. forces handing over security to the afghans and expected to withdraw to under 10,000 troops in the country by the end of next year, well, it doesn't make a lot of sense. earlier i spoke to the president of the government accountability institute. i asked him why the mill tare would pour that kind of money into a facility it is not even going to use. >> i think we use the term the military in the sense that we always have the brave men and women serving in uniform in country. the reality the is that the military also has an enormous civilian component at the pentagon. includes contractors and there is a lot of money that gets thrown around. part of this is a story about waste. they are justin mckee not paying attention to how taxpayer money has been used. lass problem of what i call cronie capitalism. a lot of contractors paid a lot of money to build the projects and at the end of the day nobody involved in the transaction, governor, reall
