[ laughter ] >> welcome to "cbs this morning." mitt romney starting a seven-day visit to europe and the middle east. trying to show the world that he is ready to be president of the united states. >> before leaving the u.s., romney told the world why the current president doesn't deserve a second term. jan crawford is in london, which is romney's first stop on his trip. jan, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, erica and charlie. that's right. romney is now here in london. but before he left the united states last night, he delivered a blistering attack on president obama's foreign policy. he was speaking to several thousand veterans, and he criticized everything from the way the president has been handling israel, his dealings with russia, even some of these leaks allegedly coming out of the white house. but he didn't offer much in the way of an alternative vision. >> it's a national security crisis. >> reporter: romney sharply criticized president obama for allegedly leaking classified intelligence information for political gain. reinforcing his argument that the president is putting his re-election in front of national security. >> this conduct is contemptible. it betrays our national interests. it compromises our men and women in the field. >> reporter: romney was referring to recent top secret leaks about the osama bin laden raid and successful u.s. drone strikes much. the obama administration denies any responsibility. but on monday, key democratic senator diane feinstein, who heads the senate intelligence committee, says the white house is connected to the disclosures. >> i think the white house has to understand that some of this is coming from its ranks. >> reporter: the next day, feinstien down played her remarks saying i shouldn't have speculated. i don't know the source of the leaks. but the damage was done. her accusation gave romney ammunition. >> what kind of white house would reveal classified material for political gain? i'll tell you right now, mine will not. >> reporter: the speech was part of a full frontal assault on a president's foreign policy, which romney argued has weakened the united states' standing. but romney gave few specifics on what his alternatives would be. he criticized the president announcing a withdrawal date for troops in afghanistan, while also advocating a timeline for ending combat operations in 2014. speaking at the same venue on monday, he argued that romney's criticism lacked specifics. >> there are those that argued against a timeline for ending this war or against talking about it publicly. but that's not a plan for america's security either. >> reporter: now why would romney go on the attack last night before he came here to london? well, that's because he says he respects this long held notion that politics really stops at america's shores and that he would never come here, meeting with foreign leaders, and criticize the president or american foreign policy. charlie and erica? >> jan crawford, thank you. with us now from chicago, david axelrod, senior adviser to the obama campaign. good morning, david. >> morning, charlie. >> contemptible conduct, a betrayal. >> well, i think what we heard was a bunch of [ bell ringing ] koes -- bellicose language from governor romney with nothing behind it. a bunch of bellicose bloviating. but when you get beneath it, as jan mentioned, there was absolutely no vision for american foreign policy. its critiques were nonsense. he wants to talk about anything other than the fact that this is the president who ended -- responsibly ended the war in iraq, who focused attention on al qaeda and destroyed its leadership, brought osama bin laden to justice, and rebuilt our alliances. and that's a very, very proud record, and the american people know that. >> but -- >> the only news in the speech was what jan mentioned, which was after months of hammering the president for his decision to bring our act of combat involvement in afghanistan to an end by the end of 2014, governor romney then endorsed his decision yesterday in front of this -- in front of this group. >> let me speak to this question of contemptible conduct and leaks coming out of the white house. senator feinstien, you know what she has said, that perhaps the white house is not coming forward with full information about how it is connected. >> yeah. but you heard what senator feinstien said yesterday. she has no information about where the leaks came from. the two authors of the books in question said that their leaks didn't come from the white house. and there are active investigations going on right now so we'll know the answer to that. governor romney sent out a man to represent him or a statement from a former official of the bush administration who was involved in the scooter libby leak scandal. and now he says he won't engage in leaks. this was a diversionary tactic, because it's very hard to talk about the president's leadership on national security, on foreign policy, and criticize what he's done. >> all right. here is what governor romney said on monday. the president talking about president obama when he called me and congratulated me on becoming the presumptive republican nominee said that america will benefit from an important and healthy debate. and then he went on to say, i haven't seen the healthy important debate coming from the president's team. it has been almost all attack ads on all sorts of peripheral issues. when will this campaign become positive and an important debate about america's future? >> charlie, this debate is all about america's future and it's about whether we're going to have policies that will promote and build and rebuild the security of the middle class in this country, or whether we're going to go down to the top down economic policies of the last decade that led to disaster. that's what this debate is about. and i would point out that much of our advertising has been positive. we have been from the very beginning of this campaign we've been the target of hundreds -- more than $100 million of negatived as from governor romney and his colleagues. he's the one -- and you heard it in his speech yesterday. he is not offering a positive alternative. by the way, on the speech -- charlie, how can you speak to a veterans organization and never mention al qaeda, make a foreign policy speech and never mention al qaeda, and speak to a veterans organization and never talk about veterans and what you're going to do for them? governor romney is the one who isn't meeting the test. >> erica hill is with me. >> david, to the point of negative advertising, let's be honest here. both sides have plenty of negative advertising out there. it's starting to impact voters. a new "wall street journal" polling showing that four out of 10 have a more negative or less favorable view of candidates. and you're fighting for a smaller portion of undecided voters. 8%. how concerned are you that you're turning those people off? >> well, you look at the ads that we're running right now, erica, it lays out a very specific choice about how we're going to lead our economy forward. the president presents it himself. we spent a full month laying out the record of the last three and a half years on television in these battle ground states. i have yet to see governor romney match that in his own advertising. but yes, we are going to call -- governor romney has many, many questions to answer about what he'll do in the future and about what he's done in the past. and he hopes not to talk about any of it. that's not what's going to happen in a presidential race. >> david, thank you for joining us this morning. >> good to be with you. turning now to the tragedy in colorado. the first funeral is scheduled today for a victim of the movie massacre. family and friends will remember gordon cowden, a 51-year-old father of two, one of the 12 people shot dead on friday. >> and investigators are still gathering evidence against james holmes, the 24-year-old suspect. anna, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, charlie and erica and good morning to our viewers in the west. this is the impromptu memorial site set up across from the theater. the first of the actual memorial services is expected to take place today for the first of t 12 victims. meanwhile, crews have been putting up a chain link fence around the theater, and holmes' lawyers are expected to get their chance to tour the building soon. prosecutors got a chance tuesday to look inside the theater where james holmes allegedly went on his violent and deadly rampage. they left after spending more than an hour inside building their case. >> off camera, she said i saw him stand over someone. i just see hair and him holding the shirt and boom. weeks before the shooting, holmes failed part of his first-year exam at the university of colorado and dropped out. he had been living on more than $26,000 in government and school grants, though it's not clear whether he used that money to fund his purchases of guns and ammunition. >> that's the national standard for supplying living stipends to ph.d. students. >> at an aurora hospital where victims are recovering, batman himself, christian bale, made a surprise visit tuesday. the star met with hospital staff and the survivors, who had been watching his movies the night of the shooting. afterwards, he and his wife took time to place flowers on a nearby memorial for those killed. meanwhile, authorities are finishing up their work in the theater and they are expected to be turning that building back over to the owner soon. no timeline on when exactly that will happen. but in the meantime, families and friends of the 12 killed are getting ready to say their final goodbyes. charlie and erica, back to you. >> thank you. senior correspondent and former fbi assistant director john miller is joining us. john, take us to the crime scene. what are they looking for? what do they hope to find? what will it tell them? >> well, as anna told us, they were going to release it, and their plan was to give it back today. but the defense will want to look at it. and that will take time. but authorities also want to do some much more advanced crime scene work using the newest tools to figure out bullet trajectory. but also to be able to go back to that crime scene virtually as many times as they need to and literally ask questions, trying to figure out what does that mean? yesterday i talked to hal sherman from the nypd crime scene unit. and he said they'll use a tool like this, the nikon station tool or a like version where they will go in and map the evidence points in a scene like this one. we used a theater as our backdrop to show what they would do. then they can take that mapping, which is measured digitally with lasers, and they can take, say, ballistic evidence and then where the shell casings are that show them where the gunman was stand, they can snap that tool on and it can show them the trajectory of the bullets. then they can take the witness statements, add in where people say they were and what they were doing, and you can turn this around 360, flip it from different views. you can do an exact, precise measurement showing everything. and when you get in front of a jury and you have those witnesses testifying when you're doing your ballistics, all of this can be enormously helpful. >> so it's important to make the case in court? >> well, it's important to make the case in court but it's also important to learn what happened. henry lee said that with a lot of things in life, you get many chances. marriage, two, three times. but with a crime scene, you get one shot. what these kind of tools do is they give you a second and third shot to go back to that scene with a 360 degree digital image that sees the whole thing. you can look at it from any angle. you can measure it from any angle. and you can go back and literally add scenarios in and take them out. for instance, a person says i was standing here when i saw this. you can tell from the reconstruction if you were standing there, could you have seen that. and so on. >> it's fascinating stuff. there's been a lot of questions about the money that was used to purchase the guns and the bullets. and you have more information on that this morning. >> we got the return from our freedom of information request from the national institutes of health in bethesda. and they broke down the grants for us. so nih gave our suspect $21,600 in a total grant. he also got $5,000 from the university of colorado. the idea is when you're working on a pd, you are so intense you don't have time to have a job. so this was disbursed in monthly stipends of $2,216. this was his only intended. so this brings up the only consequence possible. what you have here is a federally funded shooting because this appears to be the money he had access to. >> there's a gag rule in effect now. >> there is. the district attorney sat down with authorities. the judge gave a rule saying you have to stick to the very conservative rules of what you could say in a regular case. but the district attorney has gone beyond that and asked them not to say anything. so all comments will be coming through the d.a.'s office. >> as far as we know, nothing has come from the mouth of the suspect? >> no. i've been looking around this case from other angles, and, you know, they had high hopes for that computer. they were just able to mirror that hard drive on monday, which means their first real chance to start to go through it was yesterday. no headlines out of that. they have a lot more computer forensics to do. but from the computer examination, so far, no sign of a motive. from the interviews of friends and associates while, while there are different theories of things that could have come together to make a motive, there's no one that exceeds another. it's still unclear as to why this happened. >> thank you, john. this morning, russia's foreign minister is accusing the united states of justifying terrorism in syria. he spoke out one day after secretary of state hillary clinton said the u.s. would work closely with the rebels as they take control of more territory in syria. on tuesday, i spoke with russia's ambassador to the united nations who said that u.s. policy is just making things worse. >> the american policy is disastrous. it's confrontational assault on the assad regime, which is not working. it's not working. it's causing more and more violence. and i think that the danger of civiliation in syria and beyond is very great. so they need to share the blame. so it's russia. and now they keep coming up with various arguments to blame russia for it. russians sale of arms. then why doesn't russia take us and why doesn't the uk take assad? there are some family ties. so it's not a serious conversation which we'd like to engage in. >> meanwhile, opposition leaders say two more of syria's ambassadors defected this morning. there were violent protests in anaheim, california, overnight sparked by recent police shootings. police fired pepper balls and bean bag rounds at demonstrators outside of city hall, and reportedly arrested five people. over the weekend, police shot two men to death. one of them apparently unarmed. city officials want the u.s. attorney to investigate. the family of one of the men has filed a $50 million lawsuit. it is time now to show you some of this morning's headlines from around the globe. new orleans times picayune reporting on a deal to reform that city's police department. attorney general eric holder announced the wide-ranging agreement yesterday that will overhaul the department's policies for the use of force, training, searches, and interrogation. "the los angeles times" says the los angeles city council has voted to close the city's medical marijuana shops. the vote affects 762 shops. the city is allowing considering some of the original shops to remain open. the "wall street journal" is reporting on faster passenger trains on the midwest. trains in illinois and michigan will become the first outside the northeast to travel more than 100 miles an hour. new tracks, stations, and train cars are in the works. officials hope it will boost local economies. "usa today" is reporting that shoppers can say goodbye to long lines at the cash register because more stores are using mobile devices at the checkout. jcpenney wants to eliminate cashiers at cash registers by 2014. instead, it would have sales people use the ipod touch to check out. and britain's "telegraph" has new images of a huge sheet of ice across greenland a 2006 video shows a near fatal incident at sea worlds four years before a trainer's death led to big changes. we'll hear what sea world is saying this morning and what is at stake for the whales, their trainers, and the company. and the public weighs in on new york city's proposal to ban super sized sugary drinks. >> but what will the government be telling me next? what time to go to bed? how big my steak should be? how many potato chips i can have? >> supporters say it saves lives, and critics say it just won't work. that's next on "cbs this morning." this portion of "cbs this morning" sponsored by purina. your pet. our passion.
