Welcome to cbs this morning. Were counting down to the debut of thursday night football on cbs tonight. In baltimore, this is a big day for fans and for cbs. We have coverage from the stadium where they will host the steelers. Hanging over the game, the Big Development in the ray rice story. But first, Big Developments in the case of blade runner Oscar Pistorius, the double amputee olympic sprinter is cleared of all murder charges. Deborah potter has been in the courtroom. She joins us from south africa. The judge saying he was a poor witness who was often untruthful. But she said this did not mean he was a murderer. The state clearly has not proved beyond a reasonable doubt that the accused is guilty of premeditated murder. P the whole point of this turs on whether the judge believes pistorius shot his girlfriend by mistake thinking she was an intruder or in a murderous fit of rage. The judge said the state had not provided enough evidence to discredit pistorius version of events. The judge said pistorius should have foreseen that when he shot those four shots through the locked bathroom door, it would have resulted in the death of the person behind it. I am of the view that the accused acted too hastily and used excessive force. As the judge read her verdict, Oscar Pistorius sobbing uncontrollably. This continued long into the lunch break. For him this could be hisredemp ahead, well talk to legal analyst ricky clekliemann aboute verdict. Thats ahead. In an address to the nation last night, the president said american warplanes will expand a Bombing Campaign into syria for the first time. Bill plante is at the white house. Bill, good morning. Good morning. The president wanted to demonstrate to the nation that he has the plan to destroy the terrorist group in syria as well as in iraq. Senior officials tell us air strikes against isis positions in syria will begin as soon as intelligence identifies targets. I will not hesitate to take action against isil in syria as well as iraq. This is a core principle of my presidency. If you threaten america, you will find no safe haven. The president said his battle plan includes the expansion of air strikes. An increase in support for Partner Forces on the ground. Counterterrorism efforts to prevent attacks by isis on the u. S. And its allies. And humanitarian support for victims of isis attack. But he insisted the u. S. Will not go it alone. America will lead a Broad Coalition to roll back this terrorist threat. Already, allies are flying planes with us over iraq. Sending arms and assistance to Iraqi Security forces and the Syrian Opposition. Sharing intelligence and providing billions of dollars in humanitarian aid. As part of that effort, an additional 475 u. S. Service members will deploy to iraq to advise, conduct intelligence and coordinate u. S. Efforts. Bringing the total number of u. S. Troops there to more than 1,600. The president again promised that no u. S. Combat troops will be involved on the ground. Air strikes will support iraqi forces and the newly formed iraqi government. We cannot do for iraqis what they must do for themselves. Nor can we take the place of arab partners in securing their region. The president called on congress to authorize training and funding to support moderate syrian forces. I think that this should have been done obviously much more aggressively from the beginning. New hampshire republican senator kelly ayotte was among several republicans skeptical that the president would deliver on his promises. Because often hes given speeches, but following up on the actionings ths that need to taken against this dangerous group i think is what is going to measure what he said today in the following days. The Administration Officials say the president does not need any additional authorization to take the fight to isis, that it can rely on existing law. But he does need congress to vote on funds to train syrian forces. The speech was his answer to the critics who say he hasnt acted soon enough. Cbs mike morrell is with us from aspen, colorado. He was in a meeting with president obama this week about the isis threat. Mike, good morning. Good morning, charlie. What has to happen for the president s plan to degrade and destroy isis, to make it work . So, on the iraqi side of the border, charlie, im confident that were going to be able to roll him back. What gives me that confidence is a new political deal that the United States deserves a lot of credit for. Putting advisers, military advisers in to assist the iraqi army and the kurdish army. And broader u. S. Air strikes. I think all those together will make a big difference in iraq. Its the serious side of the border that im worried about. We are going to double down. We are going to go all in with the Syrian Opposition. And thats how were going to try to win this thing. But the Syrian Opposition is a very weak group. Theyre much weaker than they were two years ago. This is the long attempt, this is whats going to be hard. Is that the only option in syria, the Free Syrian Army . I think so, unless you want to throw your lot in with assad, who has butchered his own people. Which i dont think we want to do. So i think going with the Syrian Opposition is our best chance of success. The chance of success is not high though. Took a lot of work. The president said yesterday some americans have joined isis and they could try to come home and carry out attacks. But he also said he doesnt have a specific threat against the United States. Its 9 11. How worried should we be here at home . Intelligence does not give you a 100 clear picture into the plotting that a terrorist group is doing. So the fact that we dont have credible reporting on the threat doesnt give me a lot of comfort. The fact that they have the capability to send fighters here, and that they want to send fighters here is what should worry us. So i think the threat of a foreign fighter coming here and doing something is real. Mike, the president s been meeting with some columnists yesterday and earlier with intelligence officials like you. What is he trying to accomplish as far as you know in these meetings . So i dont want to talk about the specifics. I dont think thats appropriate. I will say two things, charlie. He laid out his thinking. He late out his policy. He invited he invited his comments, including critiques. I think he was really open to trying to think about ways to improve his chances of success here. I was impressed by his approach to the meeting. The second thing i would say is there were a lot of former very senior former officials in the room. There were differents of opinion on how to handle this because of the complexity. And i think that was interesting in and of itself. There was a consensus. Mike morrell, thank you. On this 9 11 anniversary, the cia says theres no evidence now that isis is planning an attack on the United States. In washington, intelligence officials are tracking the threat. In an interview with cia headquarters, director john brennan told us isis is a terror group, in his words, with blood in its eyes. He called it evil inkarenate and a cancer that must be eliminated before the group has the time and the space to carry out attacks against the u. S. Homeland. Brennan also ridiculeled the claim from isis that its established an islamic caliphate, straddling parts of iraq and syria. This group, the Islamic State of iraq in levant, is not islamic, first of all. The caliphate it has declared is a fraudulent one. It is not representative of the muslims in the area there at all. The sunni and shia muslims, as well as others, who have felt the violence of isil are determined to tear it apart and so i stand by my assertion that the idea of that type of extremist islamic calla fist worldwide is an absurd they can declare whatever they want, but i think they have come to learn they have now garnered the attention of the world and the United States. Brennan says the United States and its allies will use a robust intelligence effort to find and target isis leaders like abu al baghdadi. But he cautioned it could take years to destroy that terrorist group. He also warned there are other al qaeda groups in syria and yemen still continuing to plot attacked aimed at the u. S. Homeland. Americans paused this morning to honor the victims of 9 11. Mourners held two minutes of silence for the times when the planes struck the towers. Relatives are reading every name of the victims. President obama, the first lady and Vice President biden led a moment of silence at the white house moments ago. The president moved on to a ceremony at the pentagon by american flight 77 crash. And moments ago, shanksville, pennsylvania, held a moment of silence for the victims from united flight 93. This morning, the nfl is asking a former fbi director to investigate the ray rice controversy. Robert mueller will look at watt nfl knew and when at the request of commissioner Roger Goodell. A new report this morning claims that five months ago, the league received the video showing the former allpro punching his future wife. Goodell denied that in our interview on tuesday. So, did anyone in the nfl see this second videotape before monday . No. No one in the nfl . No one in the nfl is, to my knowledge, and ive been asked that same question, and the answer to that is no. We were not granted that. We were told that that was not something we would have access to. On multiple occasions we asked for it. And multiple occasions, we were told no. You know there are people saying they just dont buy that, that no one in the nfl had seen this tape. Well, thats a fact. I think its a fact because the criminal Justice System and Law Enforcement were following the laws and doing what they needed to do to make sure that they followed the criminal activity. This is an ongoing criminal investigation. And i think they were doing what they do. We are cooperative. We are supportive. We will ask for any pertinent information we can have access to. We cant force them to provide any information. Sharyn alfonsi is at mnt bank stadium in baltimore where baltimore will play tonight. The Associated Press says an anonymous Law Enforcement official claimed he sent a dvd of the video to nfl headquarters back in april. Even though he wasnt authorized to share the video. The official claimed he did so anyway in the hopes that the league would see it before rice was punished. This latest allegation poses a direct challenge to Roger Goodells credibility. According to the Associated Press, the nfl had possession of the brutal video in april, five months before it was released by tmz sports. Reporter rob nmotti said he listened to the voice mail con irm iffing the dvd had arrived. The voice mail is from an unidentified woman saying that she received the video, thanking the Law Enforcement official for sending it and telling him hes right, its terrible. But the ap source could not say if any nfl employees actually watched the video because the Law Enforcement official had no other contact with the league after the dvd arrived. I have complete confidence in my source. He is very credible. This is a story that we were working on for days and long hours and it is not something that we would go with unless we were rock solid sure that this is a credible source. An nfl spokesman questioned the accuracy of the ap report, saying, we are not aware of anyone in our office would possess order saw the video. Anger grew more intense. Members of congress are now openingly questioning goodells leadership. In there is information that came out that shows he did know or he had access to this information, i do think it puts at risk the current job that he has. The National Organization for women also called on goodell to step down. We need someone to go in there, do a top to bottom review, make recommendations that will really have teeth and that will really institute the kinds of changes that we need so that nfl the nfl can be about football again and not about trashing women. The nfl says mullers investigation will have the full cooperation of nfl personnel and access to all league records. But it will be overseen by two nfl owners, john mara of the new york giants and art rooney of the pittsburgh steelers. New york times sports Columnist Bill rhodin is with us again this morning. Welcome. So we have this ap report. Yes. Whats the impact of that, the consequences of that . What does that change where were going . Number one, ive always maintained if its fact, comes out that goodell or his office knew, that put his i think he may have to step down. He didnt know, but his office did, you think hell have to step down . What will happen, there will be somebody will take the hit on this. But the second thing is it has implications. Because if in fact they saw this tape and after they saw it they gave him two games, now you cant come back and, you know, just for public show say now were going to suspend you, ruin your livelihood. So there are a lot there are a lot of consequences to this. Lets be clear though. The Associated Press report quotes a Law Enforcement official saying this tape was delivered. And of course theres a voice mail saying thank you. It does not indicate whether the videotape was seen. I spoke with the nfl yesterday. An executive said to me, well, if its found that theres a delivery sitting under someones desk, there will be consequences. But isnt the larger question how does the nfl not know if that tape ended up in their offices . We keep coming back to this incompeten incompetence. You know, everybody has the nfl league sets the standard for security. I mean, thats what theyre known for, a Great Security department. So to come and say you have this kind of basic gaffe is basically indefensible. You cant have it both ways. And now youre having now youre having to bring in a political independent investigator. That theyre paying at some point, you have to make the decision about what you knew what you should have known. Absolutely. Thank you so much. And it is 7 19.
