Reporter he and his girlfriend, helen, lived together in liberia for two years. They left last summer. With the ebola virus growing worse, ashoka went back on his own. I miss him. I was meant to see him a couple of days ago and i wish it was under different circumstances. Reporter his parents say hes scared but ready to fight. Hes holding himself in a way that he said to me im going to get through this. I think its a combination of emotions. Weve been very afraid. On the other hand, were very confident. Reporter the 85yearold mother of ebola patient Thomas Eric Duncan arrived in dallas monday. She drove 15 hours to be near him, hoping to find a way for him to hear her voice.

So far, none of the 48 people being watched is sick. 100 were seen yesterday, 100 of them had no signs of fever, had no signs of illness. 100 were doing well. Reporter still, authorities worry about the toll this ebola case is taking. The stress of this and the fear of this, you know, could be more damaging to this community than the virus itself. Reporter and this morning, there are new concerns over in spain where a nurse, who was treating a doctor who died of ebola now has come down with the disease herself. Its the first known case of ebola being transmitted from one person to another outside of africa. Matt . Kate snow in omaha. Thank you very much. The Obama Administration is now considering the option of ramping up screenings of travelers who come from ebolaravaged countries. Tom costello has more on that. Good morning. It does not support banning flights from west africa, in part because of the ongoing screenings going on there and it could hinder tmedicine and doctors getting into that country. From the front door of america, an allout push to get ahead of ebola. Monday, the president announced additional screening is coming from Airline Passengers arriving from the ebola hot zone. Were working on protocols to do additional passenger screening, both at the source and here in the United States. Reporter Administration Sources say that will likely mean cdc personnel at four u. S. Airports, jfk, newark, chicago, and washington dulles, thoroughly asking about where passengers have been and taking their temperatures. Meanwhile, in west africa, they will build 17 field hospitals, air lift supplies and train authorities. It takes focused speeds for us to get ahead of this transmission rate. We have a plan. We have the people and were moving fast and hard in order to have the success that we need. Reporter also moving fast, Health Officials and hospitals across the u. S. , from seattle well certainly have a number of false alarms. Reporter to miami. The hospitals take care of infections every day. Reporter the cdc continues to remind 5,000 hospitals nationwide of the ebola symptom flow chart. First sign, temp of 101. 5 or comparable symptoms of anyone who has returned from an ebola infected area in 21 days. They should wear gowns, face mask and gloves and notify the cdc. Intense focus on two experimental drugs. Doctors arent sure whether zmap helped the first two infected patients who survived. Others who took it died. Theyre trying to ramp up the production of it fast. And Thomas Duncan is taking this experimental drug. Its called brincidofovir. Thank you very much, tom. An american teenager accused of trying to join and aid that terror group. Richard engel is in turkey, along the syrian border. Good morning to you. Reporter good morning, matt.

Saturday a chance of showers sunday and monday. Have a great day. And thats your latest weather. Matt . Al, thanks. New criticism of the president s handling of the situation against isis. Leon panetta, the former defense secretary and cia director, excuse me, says the president s past actions on syria have helped to strengthen the terror group, making the battle against them more difficult. Good to see you, mr. Secretary, as always. Good to see you, matt. You were one of the loud voices urging the president to leave behind combat troops in iraq, despite the fact that iraqis had placed pretty strong conditions on that. You warned that iraq would slide back and become a safe haven for terrorists again. Both things have happened. Did the president make the wrong call . I think the president was trying to get maliki to accept a presence. We debride leave 8,000 to 10,000 troops in iraq and Diplomatic Options there and he was pushing maliki to try to agree with that. He put up a resistance. Did he push hard enough . Thats the question. As tough as maliki was in this issue, and there was a thought if he doesnt want it, why should we, i thought it was important to maintain that presence. We were providing military aid, providing assistance. I think we should have challenged him with regard to that. Your words from the book, those on our side of the debate viewed white house so eager to rid itself of iraq, it was willing to withdraw rather than lock in arrangements that would preserve our influence and interests. So did the president put the vital interest of the United States on a lower priority than fulfilling a Campaign Promise to end the war and pull out all troops . I wouldnt say that about the president. I think he really did want to try to do what was right. His feeling was if maliki doesnt want it, why should we keep pushing on this . Also i think he felt there was an opportunity here. We had obviously sacrificed a lot of people. We put them on the right track in terms of security and governing themselves and i think his hope was somehow this thing would all go in the right direction, but the fact was unless we had that presence there, we would lose the leverage on maliki. If we could have kept that presence there, would we be fighting isis at the same levels were fighting them right now . Thats always hard to say. My view is if we had 10,000 troops there in iraq and we had a good presence there to keep the pressure on maliki, we would have done an awful lot to protect his Security Force and an awful lot to be able to go after al qaeda. Let me read you what you said at a Pentagon Press briefing three years ago. Are we leaving iraq in a vulnerable situation . You said this. One thing weve seen is iraq has developed a very good capability to be able to defend itself. The iraqis have developed a very important capability here, to be able to respond to security threats within their own country. Were you saying what you were told to say . Or did you get it very wrong . No. You know, at the time we were there, i thought we had made Good Progress with their Security Force and with their intelligence operations in going after al qaeda. But in order for that to really do the job, i think we needed to have a presence there in order to make sure that we continued the effort on improving their security, continued the effort on improving their intelligence operations in order to be able to ensure that we would never see Something Like isis ever develop. In syria, we are arming moderate members of the opposition, a group that the president and Vice President , over the last several months, have called doctors, shopkeepers and farmers. Are we kidding ourselves . If you were secretary of defense right now, would you be telling the president of the United States that we would need ground troops, combat troops on the ground in syria to successfully wage this fight against isis . In order for us to be able to win against isis, theres no question, you know, were doing the right thing. The president is calling the right shots with regards to air attacks, with regards to counterterrorism operation. Will it eventually take Ground Combat troops . In order to do it, you need to have boots on the ground in order to embed and train those forces and in syria, what we would like to do is to have the Opposition Forces be those boots on the ground. But if that is not enough, if the military says weve got to do more, then i think the president ought to be open to tha that. You would have told the president , dont shut that door, leave that door open . I did. President as commander in chief has to have all the options on the table in order to deal with this challenge of being able to win against isis. Leon panetta, mr. Secretary, good to have you here.
