to critics on capitol hill. we begin with old school crime story and a new approach to nab beibing a fugitive. james "whitey" bulger more than a dozen alleged murders. a repufuted boston king pin. his larger than life persona borrowed by jack nicholson in the movie "the departed." >> makes me curious to see you in this neighborhood. >> today, boston's most notorious gangster and his long time girlfriend are in jail after 16 years on the run. they will make their first court appearance today. kara finnstrom in l.a. an unusual strategy that was used to nabbing him? >> reporter: right. certainly was. gangster -- we are told a tipster actually saw this psa that was airing. then he called in and he led them to the pair last night. interestingly enough, james "whitey" bulger had eluded authorities for more than a decade and a half. they tried to find him but he traveled. he would use disguises and had gone all around the world eluding them so finally they went after his girlfriend and they aired these psas which had specific information about her and that is what ultimately led them to him. >> tell us about that information. actually, some of it is quite comical. >> reporter: yeah they included some very specific information about her and said she had numerous plastic surgeries, that she liked to go to the beauty salon and that she had been a dents hygienist. she usually had her teeth cleaned about once a month. you see a picture here of her with some dogs. they say she loved dogs and on which would take long walks on the beaches with bulger. so they created kind of a painting of who she was and hoping that would lead them to her and it did. >> nothing like bright white teeth leading you to a notorious gangster. now, the fbi has actually been criticized for overlooking a lot of his heinous crimes for information in response for getting information from him on other gangsters, right? >> reporter: yeah. he is legendary in the boston area and there had been widespread reports that the fbi had used him as an informant and perhaps they had cozied up to him too much, allowing him to escape, that he had gotten word he was about to be arrested. the fbi on its own website does say that he had infiltrated their agency. so there were lots of concerns about this over the years. i am sure they very glad at this point to have him behind bars and try to close this chapter. >> no doubt. kara finnstrom, talk more about it at 10:00. thanks so much. ♪ the drawdown in afghanistan. the first u.s. troops will be pulled out next month. >> this is the beginning but not the end of our effort to wind down this war. we will have to do the hard work of keeping the gains that we have made while we drawdown our forces and transition responsibility for security to the afghan government. >> now, just hours after the president outlined the details in a prime time address, members of his team face critics on capitol hill. democrats, republicans, even military leaders have grave concerns about how to end the longest war in the nation's history. indicate bolduan is on the hill. kate, who is the white house going to send to defend this plan and who are the critics they are going to go up against? >> reporter: absolutely. i'll gill he get to the criticism in one second. white house are sending heavy-hitters up to the hill today to make the case for and likely answer tough questions on the president's plans for the troop drawdown in afghanistan. secretary of state hillary clinton for one will be before the senate foreign relations committee. the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, admiral mike mullen will be before a house committee. then general david petraeus, the president's top commander in afghanistan, he'll be speaking before another senate committee. he is actually coming to the hill to handle a confirmation hearing for his potential new post as the director of the cia. but with word that military leaders, kyra, were pushing for a more modest, a slower drawdown than what the president had decided on. you can be sure that senators are keying on hearing general david petraeus' thoughts on this. the reaction has been mixed. i would say the democrats in general, if i had to generalize they agree that the drawdown should begin but some, including liberal democrats, think it's not fast enough and want to see a more aggressive time line and more troops pulled out at a quicker pace but others including influential republicans, they are calling this plan maybe too aggressive. they are looking forward to their -- they are concerned this could risk the substantial gains made in afghanistan. one of those people includes senator lindsey graham. listen here. >> i think the president rejected a modest withdrawal in 2011. that he is accelerated withdrawal in 2011 and '12 that could compromise our ability to maintain the gains we have fought so hard. the afghan security forces are better, but not yet able to sustain the fight without our help. >> reporter: words i'm hearing in terms of reaction, kyra, the need for flexibility in this plan. fear that precipitous pullout could risk the gains made there. senator mccain very influential republican in terms of these foreign relation issues said it clearly, that not the modest withdrawal he was looking for but i should say it does not cut cleanly along party lines as there are many that are feeling the war weariness, if you will, from their home districts. >> kate, thanks so much. in ten minutes from now, we will hear from a republican senator who is among the critics of the plan. he is on the senate foreign relations committee and asking tough questions of the obama team and he will join me live. u.s. withdrawal plan is igniting similar debate in other parts of the country taking part in the war effort. zain verjee joins us for more on that. hey, zain. >> reporter: a couple of headlines for you, both critical, actually. the guardian, a left leaning newspaper here has this headline "strategic drawdown or rush for the door?" and goes on to say those who call for an immediate full exit are making a grave mistake. such an approach risks an outcome that should be unacceptable in washington and london. a taliban takeover olve or substantial portions, of afghanistan. "international herald tribune" has this. "the way out?" obama will need to do a lot more to explain why it is in this country's strategic interests to stick things out for another three years plus and why his drawdown plan has a credible chance of leaving behind an afghanistan that won't implode as soon as american troops are gone. that is part of the debate, kyra, that's a big concern. is afghanistan, once u.s. troops pull out, going to distinct grate into total chaos and civil war? or are the afghan security forces actually going to be able to step up and take responsibility for security? that's a big question mark. >> yep. we will be talking about it no doubt for many years to come. zain, thanks. shocking and inspiring. those words from sarah palin who is describing her daughter bristol's new tell-all book. cnn's jim acosta is in washington. jim, before we get to the daughter's book, you've actually got news about mom, correct? >> reporter: that's right. there has been a lot of speculation over the last 24 hours, kyra, that sarah palin's one nation bus tour has run out of gas. not so says the former alaska governor. she has taken to her facebook page to announce that she has been called in for jury duty up in alaska. and that this is going to sideline the bus tour for a little while and says on her facebook page the next leg of the tour will come when the time comes. but as you mentioned, kyra, also the matter of her daughter's book. bristol palin has come out with autobiography. aren't you a little young but interesting couple of years for her. she talks about her relationship with levi johnston, the father of her son and sarah palin has stayed active on her twitter page saying on her account, talking about bristol palin's book that the book is shocking, refreshing, honest and inspiring and perfect. so some support there from mom for bristol palin. and in the meantime, also on the public side we should mention coming up on monday, a big announcement from tea party favorite michele bachmann who is throwing her hat in the ring for the 2012 nomination on the republican side. she is going to make this announcement and not a lot of people know this even though she is a congresswoman from minnesota her birth place where she was born is waterloo, iowa and where she will making that announcement and embarking on a three-state tour starting in iowa and heading off to new hampshire and north carolina. a busy week for her starting on monday. i looked at her website this morning. she has a website up as we speak, asking for donations. there isn't much more than that, but all of that, of course, is coming soon. kyra? >> jim acosta, thanks. your next political update in an hour. always get all of the political news 24/7 at cnn/politics.com. secretary clinton will be on the hill today selling the president's plan to congress. oklahoma senator james inhofe is one of the individuals questioning her. he has called the president's plan a strategy to end the war, not win the war. senator inhofe is joining me live. high stakes and high-end hotels. a celebrity poker ring uncovered. you'll get the names in ten minutes.

>> well, first of all, let's look at what would be the expense if we pull out precipitously and put someone in a position where they can strike america in way is far greater than 3,000 lives. we know there have been at least 12 attempts since 911 we have been able to stop. if we allow them to be emboldened to grow, then the cost of that is far greater in american lives than building a schoolhouse somewhere. when they talk about the money, let's stop and look. afghanistan alone is probably half -- half as much as the president had in just stimulus program. so let's look at what the real expensive things are but look at american lives. that's my concern. i don't want to have them have the same information that we have and they -- the middle eastern mentality thinks in terms of years and decades. we think in terms of hours and days so they are very patient and they will sit back until they know when they can strike. this is my concern. i'm genuinely concerned about it. >> senator, how long do we stay? >> well, we stay until it's over and we have already defined what over is. we -- and think -- >> what is over? >> it's pretty much over when there are no longer emboldened and in a position to make another major attack on the united states of america and we have to do that, or win the afghans and i just came back from there. i spent new year's eve in afghanistan. i know those kids are training hard and they are training the afghan national army, the ana and making great progress. this is right in the middle of what they call the fighting season and this is no time, in my opinion, to make these decisions. particularly unilaterally without any advice and consent from the senate. >> we are going to be watching the questioning today. that's for sure. senator, sure appreciate your time, sir. >> thank you. still ahead, high stakes and high-end hotels. a celebrity poker ring uncovered. you'll get the names in five minutes. remember the winklevoss twins?

>> well, whenever you carve out wholesale exceptions to the security rules, terrorists, hostagers, et cetera, people who want to see us harm will exploit the wholesale carve-outs of the security rule. what would be a better policy is to train the screeners to use better discretion to figure out what is the threat and what isn't and to hone in more particularly instead of carving out these wholesale exceptions. as a former prosecutor, i can tell you i had worked on cases or know of cases where children as young as 6 or 7 in the united states were used unwittingly to carry out plots of crimes. so we are creating an exception that will be exploited by terrorists. >> interesting. you hit the age that i wanted to bring an example of exactly. as the tsa is changing its policy on children it came after this video was released of a 6-year-old girl getting a pat-down. you know, what do you tell a parent, though, who is very uncomfortable with this?

and why did he become such a priority at this time? >> well, their top ten fugitive website, they say he always carries a knife, he has a violent temper. but again, he is 81 and he was arrested last night without any resistance. this is really about the damage that they say he's already done to the boston area. he's been indicted on 19 murders, he's want odd a wide range of crimes from drug trafficking to extortion. so he's actually committed so many different crimes at this point, this is really more about what he has done and they really feel they need to bring him to justice. >> all right. and at this point, will we see him in court today snm. >> we expect to see him in court later today. don't have an exact time, but, of course, we'll be there. and the interesting thing here is we really haven't seen him in 16 years. he's now 81. so it will be interesting to see how he's changed, this huge mob boss who has been so sought after. bracing for disaster in north dakota, frantic fight under way to save the city of minot. already a third of the city's population has evacuated. jim spellman is there. jim, set the scene for us. >> reporter: kyra, the water is starting to come up here. yesterday, it reached the top of all of the levees throughout town except for a few like this one that they've built up to try to protect vital infrastructure. this is a complex here that has a library and city hall and the police station. they've built temporary dikes around some schools, an important bridge that crosses the river. everywhere else, they've had to concede there's no way they'll be able to build these levees high enough to protect the bulk of the city. this river is being fed from flood waters and rising waters from canada. just right here, in these low-lying area, we've seen the water come 8, 10 feet towards us. and it's flowing much faster every ten minutes or so, it seems to pick up the pace. all these people that have left, they've resigned themselves to having heavy damage. people are pulling up carpet out of their house figuring it's easier to do it when it's dry than when it's wet. they hope to at least keep part of the vital infrastructure going. kyra. >> all right, jim. we'll keep checking in with you. thanks. overseas, a big home coming in northern ireland for rory mcilroy. zeefr r zain veree is following this story. >> tie a look at this video. he's being sprayed by champagne by some of his friends there. this is the hollywood golf club. he knows it well. they watched him win the u.s. open there. and he gave a speech and thanked his parents for being so amazing. he also said that he also he was so happy to show a different image of northern ireland than the one we're so used to seeing. you know what?

how come you let the generic one stay on there? we would have never given it to her if we had known that. so she sued. but now it's gone to the highest court in the land and the supreme court justices said sorry, mrs. mensing, it's okay what the generic drugmakers did. it's okay to keep a generic drug on the market even when the brand name drug has been pulled off the market. >> and so many of us use generics, elizabeth. sometimes the pharmacist automatically gives you the generic without even asking you. so what does this mean for us every day as we roll up to the pharmacy to get our prescription drugs? >> you know, i think what it means is that if you're taking a generic, it is not a bad idea to just quickly check and see if the brand name is still on the market. it's easy. you just say to the pharmacist, hey, the brand name of this, is this still sold? and if she says yes, at least you know it's still on the market. you can also go online and see if they've issued any warnings for the brand name or the again generic. >> the next decision coming down having to do with prescription drugs and marketing, elizabeth. and what was the decision on that with regard to consumer protection? >> right. i have to tell you, kyra, i bet you don't know this because a lot of people don't know this. that is when you go fill a prescription at the pharmacy, that information is then sold to bill farm pharma. it won't say kyra phillips is taking this or that drug, but the fact that your doctor sold it to you, that gets sold to pharmaceutical companies. pharmaceutical companies loves this. they can then go and do targeted marketing to the doctors. well, some station in new england said, that doesn't seem right and they made it illegal. this, again, went to the supreme court and the supreme court sided with big pharma. they said big pharma can buy this information, find out what individual doctors have been prescribing and it is all legal, it is all legitimate. >> sonny haas, how does it impact commercial speech and consumer protection? >> i haven't had a chance to read the entire decision yet, but if i'm loathed to talk about the effects of it, kyra. i will say this. the supreme court, this is one of the days when they sort of the send out all these decisions and it becomes the law of the land. i can tell you that marketing companies, drug companies, pharmaceutical reps, they will all be changing their behaviors because the supreme court has now told them what is appropriate and what isn't appropriate. and i think that's very important for our viewers to know. a lot of people think they see these supreme court nominations and they don't realize the impact of it. once the supreme court has made the a decision, it becomes the law of the land and everyone must follow it, not just from state to state, but all states, the entire country. >> so elizabeth, with regard to data mining, what are the benefits, then, of the changes that will now bip be instill. >> well, big pharma is the one who benefits here. they want to know dr. john smith, they know this individual doctor, they know what he's prescribed. a competitor, drugs, they can then go to dr. smith and say, hey, you know, here are some gifties. let's -- can you please prescribe my drug instead. big pharma is a huge winner here. studies show, kyra, that when a pharmaceutical company markets drugs to a specific doctor, it works. >> elizabeth cohen, anthony, thanks so much. drug rakts loan sharking and murderer, alleged crime board of trustees boss james whitey bulger captured and will be in court today. captured after 16 years on the run. about one-third of the population of minot, north dakota, have evacuated. record flooding is expected avenue heavy rain and dam releases. president obama hits the road to push his plan to withdrawal 33,000 soldiers from afghanistan by september 2012. the president meets soldiers at ft. drum, new york, this afternoon. political buzz. your rapid fire look at the hottest political topics of the day. three questions. playing today, cornell belcher and will contain. was the speech by president obama a big mistake?
