Charlie rose and gayle king are off and jeff gore 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 Photo journalist less than two months before the terror group isis executed him. The u. S. Commandos killed several isis 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. Reporter good morning. Well, the operation was carried out in early july. It involved air and Ground Forces who tried to find and free a handful of americans being held hostage. Heavily armed blackhawk helicopters dropped two does special forces commandos. The four hostages including americans, were thought to be inside an oil refinery in the area, controlled by isis. But when the team swoopd ined in the soldiers exchanged fire. One american commando was injured, all flew to safety. U. S. Believe that journalist james foley and another were being held together based, in part, on information provided by freed hostages who had seen them in captivity. U. S. Officials admit that 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 attempts is unlikely. The u. S. Milyitar 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 help to pay for their release. Margaret, thank you. President obama condemned isis on wednesday for murdering foley an 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 contributor mike morrell is in washington. He was cia Deputy Director when foley was captured in 2012. Mike, good morning. You heard the president. Isis is a cancer that must be extracted. Is that going to mean more than air strikes . I think it is going to take a couple of things. One is requires taking territory away from them so 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. How is that done . Thats done by acquiring 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. It is a very hierarchical organization. They exert extensive command and control. So if you can take the leadership off the battlefield, you can make a real difference to how the group operates. Mike, you say this because you think that small leadership poses a serious threat to the u. S. Homeland. What are you concerned isis might do inside the u. S. . So there is two concerns that i have. One is in the short term. The shortterm 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 mechanical ber 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 al qaeda 2 1 2 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 was also the first time that the u. S. Government has revealed that we carried out a mission inside 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. 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. 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 imminent 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. In the next hour well take a closer look at jim foley ahead on cbs this morning. We got word early this morning an american doctor is winning his fight against the deadly ebola vierus. Kent brantly arrived at Emory University hospital nearly three weeks ago for the treatment of the epidemic thats killed nearly 1,300 people. 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 according to his aide group, it appears as though brantly has survived the disease. A Statement Released this morning by the aid group brantly had been working with says we celebrate dr. Kent brantlys recovery from ebola and release from the hospital. It is encouraging news for brantly, who had been held in isolation, trying to fight off a virus with the mortality 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 journey but had to be wheeled in emery on a gurney. His husband told us his wife was improving. Shes doing better bit by bit. Reporter before they left for liberia, they both 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 seal off 50,000 people inside a slum. The country is trying to contain the outbreak which has already killed nearly 600 people. The man in charge of street security in ferguson missouri says 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 out this morning shows 41 of americans are satisfied with the president s response to the ferguson violence. 34 are dissatisfied. 60 of africanamericans in this poll poll, but only 35 of whites are satisfied with the white house reaction. Vladimir duthiers is in ferguson where the president spent much of yesterday. Reporter good morning. Visit by attorney general eric holder to ferguson was really annest by the white house to try to bring back confidence to a community thats just been torn apart by the shooting of the 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 local community. We want to rectify and have justice for everybody thats involved in this. Reporter he also met with the 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 recalls 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 courthouse protesters gathered. Many arguing that prosecutor Bob Mccullough should step down from the case. Five members of mcculloughs family work for the st. Louis Police Department including his father who was killed by a black suspect. Critics point to that incident as the reason he should step down. He argues thats a reason to stay on the job. Did it effect me . Absolutely affected me. And what it did for me or to me was made me i think a fierce advocate for vic tils ofvictims of violence. Reporter but some here are not convinced. You know the joke in the prosecutors office. Everybody knows, you can get a grand jury to indict people who are black. Were thinking oh well something is getting ready to happen, justice getting ready to be served but 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 and killed 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. The man is then seen on the ground after being shot 12 times. Now the st. Louis police chief reportedly cited federal government son as the reason for releasing as much information as possible as quickly as possible. Nora . Vl aflt d,ad, thank you so much. Nearly 17 billion, the price tag for bank of america this morning and a record government. Deal stems with the banks role in the deal of mortgagebacked Securities Just before the 2008 financial crisis. The bank will pay 10 billion in cash, another 7 billion will go directly to homeowners. It is the largest settlement to come from the economic meltdown. Cbs Business News analyst is here. The largest settlement ever in the u. S. Between a company. Were seeing Big Companies say weve got to put this behind us were done. The government may be saying you know what . We got a lot of flack of not getting enough out of the stimulus. Yes, we got interest on a lot of. Money we did with t. A. R. P. This is way for the government to redeem itself. Think. About it. 17 billion from bank of america. 13 billion from Jpmorgan Morgan chase, that beefs up the coffers, even though they arent really associated with the bailout. For as many mistakes as theyve made total tab for bank of america is between 60 billion and 80 billion . How does a Company Survive and stay healthy paying out that much . It is interesting. It is about three years of profits. The 17 billion. The 60 to 80 billion mr. Is what theyve been counting on all along, putting money aside. Whats interesting about this story, some of this is selfinflicted. Bank of america bought countrywide mortgage it bought merrill lynch. Much of this settlement comes from those two acquisitions. Frankly, the folks who made those acquisitions are 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 you 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 Governor Bob Mcdonnell will take the stand today in day 19 of his trial. He and his wife face bribery charges after allegedly taking loans and gifts from a friend. Chip reed showsid tell us why mcdonnell says hes relieved. Good among. 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 porpoise on the stand is expected to play a crucial role in determining whether he and his wife go free or go to prison for are whowhat could be a long time. Reporter leaving the courthouse wednesday, Bob Mcdonnell seemed well aware that the hardest part is still ahead. Talking about 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, 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 animal cyst Robert Holsworth has been in the courtroom. Theyve essentially thrown Maureen Mcdonnell under the bus, and rolled it back and forth on her a couple of times. Theyve pr troyed her as troubled, irrational. Defense witnesses have called her mentally ill. Reporter it is 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 Jhonny 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 fera ferrari. Prosecutors say 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, and for Bob Mcdonnell it will be like walking a he very slippery tight rope. He certainly cannot be part of the sort of group thats throwing his wife under the bus. He has to talk about how hes loved her. He has to talk about the nearly 40 years of marriage. At the same time mcdonnell has to make clear that his wife kept him in the dark about the full extent of the gifts. Big question is how far will he go in blaming his wife. Nora . Chip, thank you so much. In gaza this morning, an israeli air strike killed three senior hamas military leaders. Israel launched 20 attacks on gaza overnight.

Finally, the new york daoshgew York Daily News says critics are blasting obama after playing golf shortly after james foleys murder. James foley and i went to Marquette University at the same time. I didnt know him personally but he does say he credits his jesuit education with inspiring him to become an inner city teacher and later giving him the passion to report from woretornartorn places around the world. Were so so proud of jim. Jim gave joy to the world. Reporter for nearly two years, john and diane foley prayed for their son to come home. He never did. The data the truth were very important to him. But most important was touching souls, people who were in struggle and making that known to the rest of the world. Reporter james foleys last assignment took him to syria. He shot video for the French News Agency afp and filed reports for the website global post. He disappeared in november 2012. On wednesday, president obama praised his courageous reporting. All of us feel the ache of his absence. All of us mourn his loss. Reporter foley also reported from afghanistan and iraq. In libya, he witnessed a colleague die during an ambush by gadhafi loyalists. I was hit several times with butt of an ak47, punched and dragged into a vehicle with my hands tied behind my back. Reporter he and two other journalists spent 44 days in captivity. After his release, he said praying the rosary sustained him during his ordeal. I knew thats what my mom would be praying, my grandmother would be praying. Some kind of idea that you can communicate with them because you couldnt communicate with them. Reporter before he became a journalist foley was a teacher. Helping lowincome students in phoenix and jail inmates in chicago. Friends say he was the kind of guy who called other guys bro and dude and that women loved his broad shoulder and even broader smile. He considered it his mission to tell the stories of people caught up in the brutality of war. He was a courageous fearless journalist. Very compassionate american. I mean the best of america. Now james foley was 40 years old when he was killed. According to the committee to protect journalists, he is the 70th journalist killed since the Syrian Civil War began. There are an estimated 0 other journalists still missing in that country. Ben thank you. Consumer reports has a bone to pick with the fda. The government recently came out with guidelines urging people to eat more fish. But for the first time the fda set a minimum level for pregnant women between 8 and 12 ounces a week. But Consumer Reports found reason for concern over mercury in some kinds of fish. The director of consumer safety and sustain ability is with us this morning. So the government report came out in june. What did you find with when you looked . The government report basically says people should be eating more fish. We agree. I think where we differ here is in what kinds of fish people should eat. We want people to make the safest options. When it comes to being pregnant we want pregnant women to actually avoid tuna altogether so that they arent subject to the risks. When we look at the fdas most recent data 20 of chunk white tuna cans actually are double the average that the fda reports and uses in their assessment. We think thats too much. We dont think pregnant women need to take that on. While youre pregnant reach down the aisle for canned wild salmon. Thats a better option. Why only 20 of canned tuna have those high mergry rymercury levels . It is unclear. Chunk light is a blend of tunas. They thought chunk white was among the lowest in average levels, but as weve seen in the last few years, the frequency of hitting a spike with chunk white has gotten higher. I always thought the tuna in restaurant has high levels of mercury but the chunk light tuna in the store in med ration isoderation is fine. Now it is 20 of chunk whitespiking. We just think during the time youre pregnant, you dont have to take on that risk. There is plenty of other great fish to choose from with all the benefits and a lower risk. They said the methodology employed by Consumer Reports overlooks the strong body of Scientific Evidence published in the last study, basically saying the nutritional val alal value outweighed any proposed risk. They are trying to subtract the risks from that benefit and give you the net benefit. We are saying yes, fish has a benefit but the less mercury you get is better. We want people to make safer options, safer choices, especially when theyre pregnant when the fetus is the most damageable to the damaging effects of mercury. What are the effects o mercury . Well, there are many. Neuro toxin is primarily what mercury does especially when you have a fetus thats developing its neurological system. Theres also consequences for adults who eat high mercury that are very similar. It can also be an immune toxin. I have a 2 1 2yearold whos obsessed with fish sticks right now. For children what is the good amount . We have a list that all the data we and the fda looked at. Haddock, tilapia, these are all good choices. When it comes to tuna be careful with the kids. We have a graph based on the weight of a child and how much tuna they should be eating each week. Parent should be very careful and check that. Luckily, he doesnt like tuna. To see how much tuna you should be getting from fish and to read the Consumer Reports piece, go to cbsthismorning. Com. Great news for nfl hall of Famer Jim Kelly in his fight against cancer.

The challenge and the thrill come from trying to hit a fourinch clay flying through the sky. Yeah right in the center reporter everyone here agrees, the sport can be intimidating especially for a woman whos never held a gun, much less shot one. Ive taken them out and theyre so afraid to shoot that gun for fear its just lack of education and understanding. Ive had them literally almost in tears until they shot it. Then they shot it and you can see their face light up. Reporter of course anything involving guns sparks heated debate. These women argue that education is critical for responsible ownership. They also want to share their positive experience with guns. This woman has been shooting with her mother since she was a little girl. Both women received guns from their fathers. Connelly, several years ago, for christmas. I think i started crying when i opened it up. It was kind of like my dad giving me a permanent invitation to come join him hunting. And that has been true since i got that gun. I would like more of that image to be what takes the place of the images people have when they think guns. It is enjoyable, and it might be out of some peoples comfort zone but i would just encourage them to try it. It is like you are talking about something that is completely different completely removed from handguns and gun violence. These women see their sport as this Great American tradition that they hope their daughters and their granddaughters will continue and that others will go out and pick up those guns as well. Jeff .
