men in top uniform says he's very disturbed by the sex scab dal involving secret service and members of the military. >> we're now learning that supervisors of the assault team are now under investigation. we have more with bill plante from the white house. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, erica. it keeps on coming. the fallout with the personnel, partying with prostitutes from colombia prior to the president's visit last week. c bbs news has learned that the number involved has now doubled to at least ten, including one from every branch of the services. the service members were sent back to the u.s. on monday. chairman of the joint chiefs of staff martin dempsey says he's embarrassed by what's occurred even though he's not sure yet exactly what it was. >> we let the boss down because nobody's talking about what went on in colombia other than this incident. >> reporter: members of the armed services provide communications, transport, and other services on all presidential trips. their boss, secretary leon panetta did not mince words. >> whether these individuals were in colombia or any country or in the united states, we expect them to abide by the highest standard of behavior, and that's a requirement. >> reporter: in addition to the ten members of the military, there were 11 members of the secret service recalled last week from colombia after u.s. officials learned of a night of heavy drinking and cavorting with prostitutes. according to "the washington post," agents picked up at least two women at a strip club and brought them back to the hotel. one demanded $150 which set off a noisy argument. they looked at video to see how many were involved. they have had their security clearances revoked and have been barred from all secret service facilities. two were from the secret service and the others were from the assault team. cbs was told that mark sullivan was outraged and ordered the team out of colombia before the president arrived. sullivan sent this memo to cbs news. he called the indianapolis accident embarrassing and wrote, quote, it is my hope that each of us will be steadfast in our efforts to be sure that our performance and behavior adhere to the oath we have sworn to uphold. of course the white house would have rather have had the focus covered on the latin american leaders but they know that wouldn't have have gotten a lot of attention anyway, and as one official noted philosophically, at any given moment, someone in the government is always doing something stupid. charlie, erica? >> bill plante at the white house. thank you. with us, daniel bongino, a former secret service agent. he's now the republican candidate for the united states senate in maryland. welcome. >> thank you. >> so what do former agents and you who know some of these people think about this? what is your assessment? >> where do we start? disgust, embarrassment. this is a very small fraternity of secret service agents, former and active. very small agency. the fbi has 30,000 agents. we have roughly 3,000, 4,000. in 150 years this is probably the most embarrassing episode we've had to suffer through. >> as charlie mentioned, you know some of these people. >> oh, yeah. >> have you spoken to them? >> yeah. >> have they given you any more information as to what they were thinging? >> yeah. unfortunately they weren't thinking. it was an awful decision. the only thing we can take from this is nobody, i mean nobody is trying to paint this with any kind of -- put lipstick on it at all. they're saying, embarrassing, disgusting, apologized, we let the boss down as it was termed. >> it's hard to imagine that something like this has taken place, that they got in trouble for this time. do you believe this has not happened before and this was a one-of-a-time situation. >> having done foreign lead advantages where i was in charge, i have never seen it personally. have i seen it before? i'm sure it has. is it endemic to the entire agency? no. this is not the secret service. many have sacrificed their entire live, birthdays, communions. i missed three of my daughters' first six birthdays. i'm not asking for sympathy. it's a shame it's going to affect their image. i've been to cartagena. it's an area known for its night life. they probably went down with a couple of guys who said, hey, this is going to be fun. exponential growth and excitement happens. people do stupid things. it's terrible. there's no squaring the circle. it was a series of awful decisions that have really tarnished the president, the secret service, everyone involved. >> everyone agrees with it, as you said. talk to us, though, about the potential for compromising the president's safety and security in general in bringing someone into a secure area. >> it appears it hasn't happened on this trip. but you're accurate. our mission is to protect the president of the united states. i it's our most important position. the fact that someone could have taken a look at paperwork in a hotel room, of course, it's paramou paramount. that's why they're so upset? >> what should happen to the agents involved? >> the ones directly involved should face termination. the penalties are going to be harsh and you're going to see dramatic changes in the secret service. >> and the way they do business. >> sure. this morning we have a head-to-head matchup between president obama and mitt romney. gallup's first poll shows romney leads 47% to 45%. on monday, meantime, romney backed away from comments at a weekend fundraiser where he was overheard saying he might get rid of housing and urban development and part of the education department. romney said he's not proposing anything like that at this point. up next, we'll somehow yo what friends and family are saying. >> on capitol hill it's day two of a hearing on the extravagant conference in las vegas. >> they wasted money on fancy meals and over the top entertainment. >> reporter: what we learned on day one is this was not an isolated case of overspending at the gsa. prior conferences stretching all the way back to 2006 were nearly as expensive. all this at the agency that's supposed to set the standard for the rest of government. in las vegas in 2010, jeff neely bragged about a conference that he bragged as being over the top that cost over $823,000. >> what's done in vegas needs to be shared with everybody. >> reporter: but on capitol hill, the san francisco gsa-based official was anything but forthcoming. e-mails at the hearing show neely planned larish after-party. pictures on the internet show him enjoying scouting events in the months behalf the conference. >> why is he still an employee? what does it take to be fired from the gsa? >> it's so easy to spend somebody else's money, especially when you're not held accountable. i think it's absolutely ridiculous that american people have to sit back and watch this. ♪ >> reporter: the overspending was aparentally so rampant that gsa officials made videos mocking it. the official who made that joke apologized at the hearing. >> there were things that seemed over the top, but i believe they were not being paid for with government funds. >> reporter: gsa administrator martha johnson stepped down two weeks ago when the excesses came to light. she said she was trying to impose stricter spending at the agency but gave neely a $9,000 bonus last year even we he was being investigated. >> as the head of the agency, i'm responsible. i deeply regret it. i will mourn for the rest of my life the loss of my appointment. >> reporter: the inspector general believes the behavior he uncovered could go beyond impropriety. it could be criminal. he wants the department of justice to investigate possible bribes and kickbacks and the new administrator of the gsa has already canceled 35 upcoming conferences at a savings of nearly a million dollars. tomorrow we'll talk with john boehner. >> looking forward to that. on to a very important terror trial. on monday a prosecutor told jurors that in september 2009 three men were just days away from carrying out suicide attacks in the new york city subways. >> one of the men is on trial and the other two are testifying against him. senior correspondent john miller is here. this is being called the most significant plot on u.s. soil since 9/11. >> and i would agree with that because this is the blot that almost happened. we talk about the plots all the time. usually they're undercover sting operation. the fbi has all the control of the features. they make the bach, they record the proceedings. they basically found out 24 hours before hand, he got in his car with explosive components and headed to new york for targets in the new york city's subway system. >> i was going to say i think it's fascinating the way it was all put together. the guy rent as car but books a flight home from new york and that's what triggered the light bulb essentially. >> well, we knew he was in con twakt the al qaeda. i say "we" because i was in the fbi at the time. when he booked the flight home, we said what is he bringing in a car that he can't put on a plane and literally followed him with surveillance teams from denver to new york. targets that they looked at was the stock change, landmarks. and they settled on the subway system. ite going to be a very dramatic case. >> what's interesting is we've all wondered why there have not been attacks in subways and things like that. the answer is they would have been tried but thwarted. >> that's correct. and this would have been that. >> thank you. in a norwegian courtroom this morning a man who admitted to killing 77 people has defended the massacre. breivik says he acted out of goodness, not evil, and would have done it again. survivors are also telling their stories. >> reporter: a recorded phone call that was considered too hair owing to be played to the public was played aet the trial of anders breivik. a woman hid in the bathroom as she placed an emergency phone call. she whispered, he's coming, he's coming. when she emerged, 12 of her friends were dead, splayed upon the floor. breivik greeted the court with a smile and a closed fisted salute. but he teerd up when the court played the video he posted on youtube hours after the attack. >> to me it was the world's most boring power point image. in court he said he acted out of goodness, not evil, and called his actions the most spectacular political attack by a nationalist since world war ii. breivik's lawyers will try to prove that he is not criminally insane. in norway, the maximum sentence is 21 years. but if he's found insane, breivik can be held for life as long as he's considered a menace to society. for "cbs this morning" michelle miller, new york. on wall street, something very unusual has been happening. apple's stock price has fallen every day for the past week. >> and that is causing some concern in the markets. rebecca jarvis is here this morning to put this in perspective and why we care too. >> good morning. we absolutely do care. it's important to note that apple is still going gang busters by most standards. it's up 43% so far this year. but the past few days shows how much of an influence investors have on everyone's savings. investors may have found a worm in apple's golden stock. its shares, 41%. the biggest slide. it was the bad news for the market overall. >> it would have a big impact on the s&p 500. >> that's because apple makes up 5% of the index, more powerful than any other company. take yesterday, eight of the biggest stocks in the index were higher, but with apple down sharply, the s&p as a whole closed nearly flat. in fact, if you subtract apple from the s&p 500, our markets would be half a percent lower for the year. apple's drop is rattling more than just markets. it could be rattling your savings. >> people have substantial suppose tour apple shares. even if they don't own them individually, they're not addressing them. >> case in point, fidelity contra fund has more than 90% of its investments in apple stocks and three of the biggest shareholders are retirement funds. >> rebecca jarvis, welcome. >> thank you. >> so what. >> so what. well, we've seen this happen before, carly, a thnld is why people are so concerned about apple. we saw it happening with the financials, in the financial crisis. they became more powerful than any component of the market. in good times, times were great for people's portfolios and environment but in bad times we saw that power take out literallitera literally hundreds of millions of dollars. >> i rye pete, so what. do we regulate how much can be held on? >> there is rye blangs. we could see some of that impact apple. some of these mega funds as more and more people pay attention, if apple continues to be weighted so highly, like i said in the package, people probably own apple if they own an index fund that owns stock. as that happens and the market is seen throughout portfolios, the there's going to be calls to pull some of this out of retirement savings. >> thank you. rebecca jarvis. time to show you headlines from around the globe. "the washington post" shows that ft. lauderdale work may have affected hundreds of people. it shows examiners at the fbi lab did sloppy work. britain's telegraph has a story of a promising new treatment for prostate cancer. it involves heating tumors with a highly focused camera. nine out of ten patients are cancer-free after that treatment. so far there are no side effects. >> as more of us switch to cell phones, the united states say landlines may no longer be available in some areas. they're passing requirements that land lines have to be required to everyone.

"will pippa face jail," "pippa's fun shame." you put royal, pippa, and gun in the same sentence and people are going to pay attention. kate's -- can i say this -- luscious sister was in the papers. everything was not quite wait seems. this is what the fuss was all about. a series of pictures taken in paris of pippa middleton kruszing with some funs, one of whom appears to pull a gun and point it at the chasing photographer. what's more, pippa and her friend seem to find the scene amusing. it would be a serious matter in a country where brandishing a weapon is illegal, it would certainly raise attention to a new level, but in fact, according to the french celebrity magazine "gala," the photographer now the gun was plastic and he was of no harm. pippa is not a royal but being kate's sister and how shall we put it, being photogenic, she's been a star since the wedding where she wore that dress. since then she's become one of the world's prime paparazzi targets. she can't help it if her picture sells magazines. but being connected with the royals is not a joke. >> certainly i should think her sister kate would be saying, this is idiotic and i'm sure mrs. middleton will be very displeased with her daughter, bringing the royal family in disrepute. >> it causes people to remember other royal gaffes. fergie trying to sell access to her ex-husband prince an draw. it's not good. there's been no indication that the french authorities are contemplating any legal action against pippa. as for reaction from the royals, they're trying to run as farr away from the story as far as they can. pippa's not a royal. just to understood line their point, they even refused to have us report this story from buckingham palace, which wi normally would, which is why i'm -- >> did you just call pippa luscious earlier, mark. >> i call them like i see them. >> and so will tina brown. thank you, mark. tina has a story in "newsweek." she is also the author of "the diana chronicles," which is about diana. good to have you here. >> good to be here. >> what's your take on the story? >> the pipaltons so far have been the most unembarrassing family as you can possibly imagine. when you consider what went on with fergie and diana and harry and the whole thing she's been through, finally the middleton's arrive. they're flawless. kate is flawless. and now pippa is suddenly caught in a little bit of embarrassment. but you have to recognize, she is part of the royal family. they cannot do this thing, which they tend to do in their ostr h ostrichy way of saying she's not part of the family, she's a distanlt relation. she's not. she's there. she's going have to be given protection, tutelage, pr spins. they're going to have to take her in and make them one of her own. >> but kate and her prince are doing just fine. >> they're incredible. the amazing thing about kate is aside from once when she did a fall in roller-skates and a short skirt, she's unbelievable. she should be running for a gop nomination. she has no history. >> she's flawless. >> flawless. >> what do you think the conversation is at the palace? you say -- your take is they need to take on pippa and recognize the fact that whether or not they like it, she's part of it? are they having that conversation? what will change? >> pippa went from a person to a problem. she's now the pippa problem. there will be many conference because a jubilee is coming up. the big fear is the jubilee that's about to happen is suddenly going to be focused on pippa's derriere and her wildlife. it is unattractive that her friends are quite so rich and silly. that is one issue they're having to deal with it. and i think one of their greatest desires is to marry her off to the duke. >> is this a time when the royal family is doing happy and they're doing well for the most part? >> it's brought in a fair amount of interest by kate as well as pippa. >> margaret was one long gossip fest all her life. beautiful, rakish, having divorces. harry has been the naughty one compared to william. so in some ways it's kind of a fun distraction to have pippa out there while kate is flawless, as lodge as she doesn't do dumb things like she did in paris. >> is it true that the queen will die the queen and will never give it up. >> she will never give it up. all the days of my life in westminster abbey when she was crowned the queen believes she's the crown until she dies. >> that's done before god and the church. >> her diamond jubilee is in june and she'll be celebrating the honoring of that vow. >> one quick point, politico and huffi"huffington post" -- you r "the daily beast" -- online won two pulitzer prizes. it says something about online journal i journalism. >> i think it's terrific. so much is done online. on "the daily beast," we have the same kind of style that, frankly, i used to use for the new yorker for judging a piece. i this tlirng's that acknowledge that there's this coming oup age. >> thank you. come back soon. the shuttle "discovery" is making one last flight. we'll show you how it's getting there to the smithsonian. not a bad way to fly. you're watching "cbs this morning." mine was earned off vietnam in 1968. over the south pacific in 1943. i got mine in iraq, 2003. usaa auto insurance is often handed down from generation to generation. because it offers a superior level of protection, and because usaa's commitment to serve the military, veterans and their families is without equal. begin your legacy, get an auto insurance quote. usaa. we know what it means to serve. ♪ [ gong ] strawberry banana!

>> he said we'd like to do something. i said there was nothing do. he said anything. i said there's a tree stump in the yard. he insisted we'd like to bring a couple of guys and do service at your house. >> on that day reid went out to get breakfast for the volunteers. he came home and here's what he discovered. >> there were men and among them, a man running for the united states president of america. >> when mitt romney heard about it he asked if he could help. >> he had dirt underhis fingernails. he's the first one down in the hole with the power saw. he's doing the hardest work of any of us. >> as fisher made clear, not a single reporter was in sight. >> this wasn't a publicity event. in fact, when they grew up as boys, there were occasions when their dad would get them up and go do a service project for someone. >> he has a very good heart, a very understanding, very loving hard. >> dave is a leader of the mormon church. he's known him since the 19850s. he e said romney's reluctance to tout his good works comes from the teachings of the church. >> he hasn't spoken about it because it then comes across as trying to create an advantage for yourself and nothing could be further from the truth. >> more revealing from the center of the book centers around the collapse of bain & company in 1991. >> his ego was not so large that he thought he had all the answers. he was very careful to enlist those around him, to enlist their help, and then to make them part of the solution. >> another powerful story deals with the time in 1996 when the 14-year-old daughter of bain partner disappeared after a party. when romney found out, h shut down the boston office, set up a command center in new york city, mobilized wall street and enlisted the hope of local tv stations, leading to the discovery of the girl. it's a story he's only recently begun to talk about on the campaign book. >> his book, "the mormon way of doing business. "good morning. there are a lot of aspected and good stories about mitt romney that have not yet come out. this is a man who's been on the campaign trail since he ran in 2008. >> it's amazing that these st y stories haven't come out. the big question is who is he, what's behind the front. and these stories show case what mitt romney's really about. a guy who takes six hours off on a campaign trail to dig out a man's tree stump who he doesn't know and will probably never see again and gets dirty and there are no reporters there. >> what's important about this is the critical comment about mitt romney is that he doesn't seem authentic and he's not comfortable with his own story. so this goes right to the heart of his own story. >> i think he is real comfortable. the thing is he doesn't tell that story very often. these incidents are really good portals of what this guy is about when he's not in front of a camry. thing you learn a lot about a man when you see what he's doing when no one's looking. what he's doing is serving orr people. he's been doing that long before he was a candidate. >> that's what i think is missing. i met mitt romney years ago when susan st. james and dick loft their son. and mitt romney was there and he was so kind. i said do you remember that. she said why don't people get to see that side, he's there to help his friends, who doesn't ask for a lot of fanfare. and it's interesting, armen, in your report you say that he thinks of talking about it is a way of bragging but maybe we need to brag a little bit. >> that's part of mormonism. >> not to toot your own horn? >> you're taught from boyhood you perform acts of service and you're given a lot of opportunities in the mormon church do it. at the same time you're told not to go out and toot your own horn. you're not doing it for publicity or to get pats on your back. mitt's been doing this his whole life. there's been a little bit of attention there on all the things he's done his whole life. do you want to stand up and do this. he does it. >> how well do you know him? >> how well do i know the family? i grew up with them. i've been friends with one of his sons. pretty close. it's not often you know someone you know for president. they're different on the campaign trail. >> are you supporting him? >> i am. >> in talking with dave are speaking on behalf of mitt. the tide nights to turn. he knows everybody. he said to me yesterday that mitt romney is one of the five smartest people he's ever seen in his life. >> that's saying something with all the people dave check iks note. what's wrong with the narrative, yes, i'm wealthy, i'm successful, i've worked really hard, i've made smart business decisions. i don't know why that's not embraced in some way. why can't you display that without being known as arrogant, out of touch guy. >> we want a leader who's been successful. right now the economy is a big issue and this is somebody who's been at the top of the world for a long time. i don't think it's a negative. >> but it's painted as a negative for him. >> i think it's his ability to be able to have a tear aive to explain it, what you just said. many of us admire it but he hasn't been comfortable being able to express it. >> jeff, you and i are friends and we even do've done a lot of mitt has help add lot of mormons and to the cynic they'd say he's just helping the mormon faith. you say what? >> he's helped a lot of mormons over the years, but a lot of the people he's worked with, most of the people he's worked with are not more mobs. he's done that throughout his whole career. >> now people are speaking up. good morning. an out of sight day start. going to be the flavor of a super afternoon. mostly sunny, 76 degrees the high. not yesterday's 90. and then on april 17th, how many time douse say it was 90? beautiful this afternoon, 11 above normal. tonight, mostly cloudy, 48 the overnight low. tomorrow look for maybe an afternoon passing shower. 65 is the high. and steady rain likely at the end of the fi a loyal dog is the star of a new viral video. the labrador retrieve eric charlie. >> i love this story. >> i think may be charlie rose's favorite story. he's guarding another dog, which is not a good part of the story. we'll go inside to find the dog a home. >> 50 shades of gray. we're going to make that a long story short today. you're watching "cbs this morning." ♪ i've discovered gold.

>> the trial is scheduled for mid-june, but there was a preliminary hearing says in december and that didn't come off too. so mr. sandusky is at home under house arrest, awaiting the trial. >> and the conspiracy of silence you suggest is what? >> one thing you take away from "game over" is how isolated penn state is in the middle of the valley, in the middle of the state, in the middle of nowhere, and there was this culture that kept everything inside that just could not put its hands around something of this magnitude happening at penn state. >> because joe paterno was god and joe paterno had created great fame for penn state and his football team? >> absolutely. everything that penn state has is at the base, joe paterno brought it there. he helped develop the entire program and he basically ran the institution and had pretty much say over everything including when he decided he might leave and who was doing be hired after him. >> that's why it's so hard, bill and bob, that joe pateryn know, also known as joe pa, didn't know, as much as he says he didn't know -- i had a nephew that went to penn state. i said, cameron, he had to know. he said, no, aunt gayle. he didn't know. he didn't know. he knew when one of his plaerers got a ticket out of state and what the light bill is. it's inconceivable he didn't know. what do you think after the research you did? >> no coach has ever been exalted more than coach paterno but no coach has ever fallen so far, so fast. if you look at what he said he didn't know and what happened, that sandusky was gone a year after that '98 investigation without a news release, without the grand farewell befitting an icon on his staff and everything that transpired afterward. >> was he told it was a little horseplay in the shower or was he told it was something really speflk and graphic and sexual in nature? >> exactly. that's one of the things that's just so perplexing about it. it's a tragedy of shakespearean proportions in that joe was told something but the assistant made sure he knew exactly what he was talking about and he knew, so it boggles the mind on how deep it goes. >> what's interesting to me is whether you make knowledge on one incident or should he have known about jerry sandusky and it's believable that he did not and that no one in that community had ever said anything to him about a coach that worked under him? >> yeah. it's almost impossible to believe that he did not know. that he did not know there was an investigation in 1998 and jerry sandusky was gone a year later. a tlnld was another incident in 2000 2002 he was told about at his kitchen table. if you don't connect the dots, you're trying to avoid the situation. >> what does it say about joe, if he knew? >> joe will always be remembered as a great coach, a leader of men, that football players loved him. there will always be that one lapse, judgment that will define his life's legacy. >> he said it as so. i wish i would have done more. >> you pointed out -- number one, you did this book in record speed. ten weeks. i'm imagining you didn't have a lot with the cone of silence. >> we had. we had more people hang the phone up on us, nobody returning calls. nonetheless, we find a hundred people who told us stories about what was going on and i this inch we got the story straight. >> let's talk about jerry sandusky for a second. they say he was a popular coach, didn't swear, didn't curse, didn't smoke, that he was a pretender, that he loved children and he would never hurt them, and they believed that about him. some people did. >> if you were to draup on the blackboard, the ultimate pedophile, you start with a sports icon who founds a charity. he's known as the male mother teresa of central pennsylvania. his children is known. it's a per, perfect disguise snanld you used the word pedophile, sexual pretty tore. >> there are ten young men who have made damning allegations against jerry sandusky, and, of cours course. i've never seen a case that was as expansive as this that didn't come -- end up with some kind of conviction. >> what's going to hack to mike mcqueary? he's the graduate assistant who made the discovery. i know he's suspended with pay. >> correct. he was penn state born and bread. grew up there, played football, always wanted to be on joe pa t per noe's staff and he talked about it. >> where is he now? >> he's still on staff but his house is on sale. >> many have put the bad label on mike mcqueary because of actually knowing about it in 2002 but not coming forward. he was very certain, very emphatic, and was not beat up at all. >> very believable as a witness. >> according to some. >> even if he waited eight years to report. the name of the book, "game over." john cusack is here. say u him in the green room. he said edgar allan poe is a role of a lifetime. he plays a 19th century righter in a movie called "the raven." john cusack after the break ♪ oh yeah, this is what a weekend getaway should feel like. and does. if you're here that is. >> we must assume miss hamilton is still alive. >> why?
