The nfl wants performers to pay to play the super bowl halftime show. I remember last year at the super bowl, a group barely played oh that was the broncos. This mornings eye opener is presented by toyota. Lets go places. Captioning funded by cbs welcome to cbs this welcome to cbs this morning. Charlie rose and gayle king are off and jeff glor is here. We begin with new information on the failed effort to save james foleys life. American special Operations Forces tried to rescue the american photojournalist less than two months before the terror group isis executed him. The u. S. Commandos killed several militants on the ground in syria but they did not find foley and other captives. Margaret brennan is at the pentagon where officials released some details of that raid. Margaret, good morning. Good morning. And good morning to our viewers in the west. The operation was carried out in early july and involved air and Ground Forces that tried to find and free a handful of americans held hostage. Heavily armed blackhawk helicopters dropped two dozen special Operation Forces commandos in Northern Syria near raqaa. The hostages including four americans, were thought to be inside an oil refinery in the area, which is controlled by isis. But when the team swooped in the prisoners were gone. The soldiers exchanged fire. One american commando was injured, all flew to safety. The u. S. Believed that journalist james foley and steven sautloff were being held together, based in part on information by freed hostages who had seen them in captivity. They admit the Covert Mission was based on good but not great intelligence. President obama authorized it because the hostages were thought to be in peril. The mission was revealed a day after isis posted video of foley being beheaded. The exact location of the remaining hostages remains unknown. Another rescue attempt is unlikely. The u. S. Military mission in iraq remains narrowly defined as humanitarian and aimed at protecting u. S. Personnel and facilities, not hunting isis leaders. There are at least five americans being held inside of syria, a country thats in the midst of a brutal war that has allowed isis to carve out a safe haven. Now, this is the first time the u. S. Has acknowledged any operations inside of that country. Isis has freed other hostages whose own governments helped to pay for their release. All right, margaret thank you. President obama condemned isis on wednesday for murdering foley and defended the latest u. S. Moves in iraq. The United States of america will continue to do what we must do to protect our people. We will be vigilant and we will be relentless from governments and peoples across the middle east, there has to be a common effort to extract this cancer so that it does not spread. Cbs news Senior Security krshtd mike morell is in washington. He was cia Deputy Director when foley was captured in 2012. Mike, good morning. Good morning, norah. You heard the president. Isis is a cancer that must be extracted. Is that going to mean more than air strikes . I think its going to take a couple of things. One is requires taking territory away from them so that they cannot use it as a safe haven to train. That requires the air strikes and that requires enabling the Iraqi Military to do its job. The other thing it requires i believe, is to take the leadership of isis off the battlefield. That means capturing or killing them. And how is that done . Thats done by acquireing the intelligence you need on where these guys are and then taking action to either find them and take them into custody or if you cant do that to take them off the battlefield lethally. To use the analogy that was used with osama bin laden, cut the head off the snake . Absolutely. This is a small leadership. Its a very hireerarchyical organization. If you can take the leadership off the battlefield, you can make a difference how the group operates. Mike, you say smaller leadership poses a threat to the u. S. Homeland. What are you concerned isis might do inside the u. S. . Theres two concerns that i have. One is in the short term. The short term concern is the americans who have gone to fight with isis and the west europeans that have gone to fight with isis could be trained and directed by isis to come to the United States to conduct smallscale attacks. If an isis member showed up in a mall in the United States tomorrow with an ak47 and killed a number of americans, i would not be surprised. Over the long term i worry that this group could present a 9 11style threat. It took it took al qaeda two and a half years to plan 9 11. It would not surprise me to know that isis may be thinking about going in that kind of direction. Shortterm threat, longterm threat. Thats really scary to hear. This also was the first time that the u. S. Government has revealed that we carried out a mission inside syria in the midst of that civil war. The white house talked about anonymously on a Conference Call with reporters the details of this secret mission to try and capture james foley. Does that do damage to future missions . There was a reason the white house wanted to keep this secret. And it was a good reason. You know when we showed up at that oil refinery the hostages werent there. So isis was not sure why we came. Now they know. Now they know that we may make an attempt to go after hostages so they will better protect them. And every little detail that is leaked out about this operation gives isis information that will help them protect against future operations. So there was a good reason they tried to keep it secret. Mike you talked about some very heavy stuff earlier about the potential threat on the u. S. Homeland. I wonder does the president agree with those thoughts . In order to make a decision to take out the leadership of a group, the United States the president , has to make a determination that the group poses a direct and eminent threat to the United States and that you cant capture these guys. So the only choice left is to kill them. I dont know whether the president has made that determination or not. All right, mike morell thank you very much. In our next half hour well take a closer look at jim foleys reporting and the inspiration that drove him to risk and ultimately give his life. Thats ahead on cbs this morning. We got word early this morning an american doctor is winning his fight against the deadly ebola virus. In about an hour around 8 00 a. M. Pacific Emory University hospital in atlanta will announce the release of dr. Kent brantly. He arrived nearly three weeks ago for treatment of the epidemic thats killed almost 1300 people. Vinita nair is here with brantlys path to recovery. Good morning. Good morning. Dr. Brantly and Nancy Writebol were missionaries who contracted the virus while caring for victims in liberia. Doctors will discuss the discharge of both patients later today but it appears as though brantly has survived the disease. A Statement Released this morning by samaritans purse, the aid group brantly had been working with says we celebrate dr. Kent brantlys recovery from ebola and relos from the hospital. Its encouraging news for brantly, who had been held in isolation, trying to fight off a virus with a fatality rate of up to 90 . Three weeks ago he was flown from africa to atlanta and transported by ambulance to Emory University hospital. With help from a paramedic, he was able to walk into the facility. A positive sign of his condition at the time. Three days later, Nancy Writebol made the same jurny,ourney but had to be wheeled on a gurney. Earlier this month writebols husband told cbs this morning his wifes condition is improving. She keeps telling me that shes doing better bit by bit. Reporter before they left liberia, brantly and writebol received doses of the experimental ebola drug zmapp. Questions still remain on exactly what role the drug played in their treatment. The two worked at a missionary clinic outside liberias capital. The country hit hardest by the ebola outbreak. The situation in liberia continued to worsen on wednesday as police dressed in riot gear used barbed wire and skrabcrap wood to seal off 50,000 people inside a slum. The country is trying to contain an outbreak which has already killed 600 people. The man in charge of street security in ferguson missouri said the city had a very good night. Last nights protests over the Deadly Police shooting were much smaller and quieter. Only six people were arrested. A new cbs News New York times poll shows 41 of americans are satisfied with the president s response to the ferguson violence. 34 are dissatisfied. 60 of africanamericans in this pole and only 35 of whites are satisfied with the white house reaction. Vladimir duthiers is where the attorney general spent much of yesterday. Good morning. Reporter good morning. The visit by attorney general eric holder to ferguson is seen as a move by the white house to try to bring back confidence to a community thats been torn apart by the shooting of 18yearold Michael Brown. Why would i be any place other than right here right now. Reporter eric holders message to the people of ferguson, missouri. We want to help. He stopped by a local restaurant to speak with members of the community. We want to rectify and have justice, you know for everybody thats involved in this. Reporter he also met with missouri Highway Patrol captain ron johnson. Holder is the countrys first africanamerican attorney general. During a private meeting wednesday, he said he understood the black communitys mistrust of police and recalled his own experience with racial profiling. His visit came as a grand jury began hearing evidence to determine whether to bring charges against officer Darren Wilson in the shooting death of Michael Brown. Outside the court house, protesters gathered many arguing that prosecutor Bob Mcculloch should step down from the case. Five members of mccullochs family work for the st. Louis Police Department including his father, who was killed by a black suspect. Many point to that incident as the reason he should step down. He argues thats a reason to stay on the job. Did it affect me . Absolutely affected me. And what it did for me is or to me is made me i think, a fierce advocate for victims of violence. What do you want . Justice. When do you want it . Now. Reporter but some here are not convinced. You know Everybody Knows you can get a grand jury to indict a paper bag. Reporter Jerryl Christmas once worked in the st. Louis prosecutors office. We hear grand jury and we think, oh well something is getting ready to happen. Justice is getting ready to be served. What they dont know is this is the beginning of a process thats probably going to end up with this case not being issued or a lesser included charge. Reporter many here are seeing holders presence as a step towards transparency. Also on wednesday, st. Louis Police Released video and 911 calls related to the death of a 25yearold black man who was shot by police on tuesday. Take a look at this video. The man can be seen here confronting police with a steak knife after a store owner suspected him of shoplifting. Hes then seen on the ground after being shot 12 times. St. Louis police chief reportedly cited ferguson as a reason for releasing as much information as possible as quickly as possible. Thanks. Attorney general holder is back in washington this morning where just minutes ago he announced a record settlement with bank of america. The nearly 17 billion deal is the largest settlement connected to the 2008 financial crisis. It stems from the banks role in the sale of mortgagebacked securities. 10 billion will go to settling state and federal claims. The rest will help consumers. Under the terms of this settlement, the bank has agreed to pay 7 billion in relief to struggling homeowners borrowers and communities affected by the bankes conduct. This is appropriate, given the size and the scope of the wrongdoing at issue. Jill schlessinger is here. Good morning. Good morning. Incredible to think about this the largest settlement ever between the u. S. Government and a company. What does it mean in terms of the mortgage crisis that hurt everybody . I think what it means is that we are seeing Big Companies saying weve got to put this behind us, were done. I think from the governments perspective, they may be saying hey, you know what we got a lot of flak for not getting enough out of the stimulus. Yes, we got paid interest on a lot of the money that we did with t. A. R. P. And we didnt get a lot more than that. This is a way for the government to redeem itself. Think about it 17 billion from bank of america, 13 billion from jpmorgan chase. Another 7 billion from citigroup. For as many mistakes as they have made now, the total tab for bank of america is what between 60 and 80 billion . How does a Company Survive and stay healthy paying out that much . You know, its interesting. Its about three years of profits, this 17 billion. The 60 to 80 is what they have been counting on all along. They have been putting money aside. Whats really interesting about bank of americas story is that some of this is selfinflicted. Remember bank of america bought countrywide mortgage it bought merrill lynch. Much of this settlement comes from those two acquisitions, so frankly the folks who made those acquisitions, theyre no longer at the bank, theyre the ones who really have a lot of the black eyes here. I dont think that the bank is going to be in any trouble. In fact the stock went up a little bit yesterday on the news. Stocks down about 10 in the last five years. S p 500 is up 96 . 17 billion fine slightly more than a parking ticket. Just a bit. Thank you very much jill. Former Virginia GovernorBob Mcdonnell is back on the stand today, day 19 of his trial. Mcdonnell and his wife face bribery charges after allegedly taking loans and gifts from a friend. Chip reid shows us why mcdonnell is relieved to have a chance to tell his own story. Chip, good morning. Reporter well, good morning. This is the moment everyone following this trial has been waiting for. Former governor Bob Mcdonnell was once thought of as a possible republican president ial candidate. Now his performance on the stand is expected to play a crucial role in determining whether he and his wife go free or go to prison for what could be a long time. Leaving the court house wednesday, Bob Mcdonnell seemed well aware that the hardest part is still well ahead. Marriage and finances are hard for anybody. Reporter especially his marriage. Asked about his wife maureen, wednesday, mcdonnell testified that on the day after he was elected, quote, i could tell she was not as happy as i was. She was yelling at me about something. But thats nothing compared to what mr. Mcdonnells own lawyers have said about her. Legal analyst Robert Holsworth has been in the courtroom. They have essentially thrown Maureen Mcdonnell the governors spouse, under the bus and then rolled it back and forth on her a couple of times. They have portrayed her as troubled secretive, irrational. They had defense witnesses that called her mentally ill. Reporter its all part of a strategy by mr. Mcdonnells legal team to blame maureen for the 165,000 in gifts that were showered on the mcdonnells by businessman Jonnie Williams including 20,000 in designer clothes for her, a 6,000 rolex for him, and expensive vacations for both that included the use of a ferrari. Prosecutors say in exchange for the gifts, then governor mcdonnell promoted the businessmans company. But mcdonnell testified wednesday that he gave williams nothing more than routine access. Today the spotlight is expected to shift to maureen,
