mik, let me also ask you about some of the details we're now learning about that raid on bin laden's compound. specifically, the chopper. the helo that was used by the navy s.e.a.l.s. we saw this picture. it looks like the tail of it stuck on the back of one of the compounds. i was speaking with someone who said that doesn't look like a blackhawk to me. now we learn it's a very different helo that's been used in past operations, correct? >> it is. it's a modified blackhawk, an attempt to reduce its radar signature, harder to detect on radar and also reduce the noise that their rotors make. special operations forces have had these kinds of stealth helicopters for more than 30 years, frankly. way back during the tanker wars in the '80s they were using them to sneak up on iranian boats that were laying mines in the water. but these are far more sophisticated in terms of the polymers and the skin they put on the outside that make them harder to detect. and they have been kept pretty much under wraps until various pieces of them were photographed around the ground on that compound. and ju

thank you, mik. great work this week. >> okay, savannah. >>> later this hour the president leaves for indianapolis, then on to ft. campbell, kentucky, where he will hold a private meeting with some of the s.e.a.l.s.s that helped take out bin laden. the white house has released some behind-the-scenes footage of the night the world learned bin laden had been killed. >> outside of that -- >> tell we killed -- >> good job, national security team. thank you. yeah. proud of you. you guys did a great job. >> they did. >> nbc's mike viqueira is live at the white house for us this morning. mike, good morning. tell us about the president's trip to ft. campbell. >> reporter: first he's going to indianapolis, and of course this was a trip that was delayed over that fight during the budget and the government shutdown about a month ago, so he's going to get that business out of the way, going to another one of these hybrid -- they make transmissions for hybrid vehicles. obviously, this is something the president h

mik, what can you tell us? >> we've heard it described as motherlode, a treasure trove. safe to say there's tons of this stuff that these hundreds of analysts will be going through both at the cia and fbi. they're obviously going to be looking for identities of people, locations, telephone numbers, addresses, paper trails, bank accounts, follow the money. it's true in politics and in terrorism. if you follow the money, you can find out where the next terrorist strike may be. and, of course, they're going to look very carefully to determine, you know, for a long time we've heard about these so-called sleeper cells, al qaeda operatives believed to be in europe, in canada, in the united states just waiting for the right signal to trigger some kind of terrorist attack in any of these locations. so i believe that some of these analysts are going to be looking m particularly for that to see if there's anything that could be pending in europe, canada or the united states. quite frankly in the interim, while there is a lot of concern there could be retaliation for the death of o

. >> mik, where does the debate stand right now in terms of whether or not to release a picture of bin laden? >> well, if you listen to -- if you look at a scorecard you think that it appears that the majority of people within the administration, including apparently secretary of defense robert gates and we know secretary of state hillary clinton who are against the release, there are others as we know leon panetta told brian williams last night that he thinks it should ultimately be released to sort of head off the conspiracy theorists who say osama bin laden is still alive. however, this debate is not likely to be ended today. there are some idea that the white house would announce this decision today, but we get no indication of that yet. we're still looking though for either photos or even perhaps video of the burial service aboard the aircraft carrier carl vinson in which osama bin laden's body was laid to rest at sea because it's felt that that will -- that at least will offer some evidence that at least that ceremony was respectful. >> respectful and osama bin laden's body in ke

. >> mik >> jeff: that's the power of the three-point shot, too.'m very interesting with ray allen guarding chalmers now and rondo on wade. >> mike: chalmers, bosh, james jones, wade and lebron james. bosh wide open. knocks it down! james setting up his teammate and it's back to ten. chris bosh hasn't shot well here today but an important boss ket right there. rondo, back to allen. steps back, another three. o'neal trying to tip it -- and knocks it out of bones. let's listen to a doc rivers huddle before the recent run. >> in my opinion, all we're doing is talking. bad flagrant. we got to play to win. looking at each other, looking at them every time they touch you. what did you think, they ain't going to touch you? you got to play in you want to win. >> mike: and they did, going on that 8-0 run. now the heat trying to answer. wade misses. rondo, his seventh rebound. rondo looking. stolen by james. wade racing down the other end of the floor for the finish! time-out, boston. the heat defense does it again. i'm your biggest fan. you know that. aww.

thank you very much, mik. >>> we're awaiting to hear from white house press secretary jay carney about the president's decision we just learned within the last hour, the president has decided not release the picture of a dead osama bin laden. the briefing from jay carney is expected to start any minute now. >>> also coming up who will the next leader of al qaeda? there is new information that an american could fill osama bin laden's shoes. >>> plus -- what role did harsh interrogations really play in finding bin laden? i'll talk to a special agent in charge who was once in charge of interrogations at guantanamo bay. ooh, a brainteaser. how can expedia now save me even more on my hotel? well, hotels know they can't fill every room every day. like this one. and this one. and oops, my bad. so, they give expedia ginormous discounts with these: unpublished rates. which means i get an even more rockin' hotel, for less. my brain didn't even break a sweat. where you book matters. expedia. you think i have allergies? you're sneezing. i'm allergic to you. doubtful, you love me. hey, you can't ta

mik, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning. what u.s. intelligence is looking for is names, addresses, phone numbers, e-mails, anything that could potentially help head off future terrorist attacks. but what analysts found already is that osama bin laden was more in charge than anyone had thought. despite the video of an aging bin laden fumbling with a tv remote appearing out of touch, raids on the compound show bin laden was calling the shots still for al qaeda. if he was so out of touch, how did he survive so long, so close to pakistan's capital and a military academy? the immediate focus is on al qaeda secrets which provide chilling new details. the intelligence shows bin laden was intent on killing americans in large numbers. documents show planning for attacks on moving trains out of new york, washington, d.c., and los angeles, aimed at producing mass casualties. the top priority in searching those thousands of documents is to determine if any terrorist attacks are imminent anywhere. >> hopefully it will lead to the breaking up of p
