predetermined by the court as stand-by counsel. so things are moving forward. it seemed like we were possibly very close to this thing getting yet another setback. some have said from the beginning that this was going to be a circus with hasan representing himself and not knowing much about the letter of the law, and at least for the last two days or so it s proving to be a bit of a circus. but the judge trying to stay very much on point here and clearly keep this court-martial moving. jenna? jenna: wow. it took four years to get to this point, we can t forget that, so a lot of emotions, casey, but certainly some effort from the judge to keep things moving along, as you point out. reporter: exactly. jenna: we ll be back to you, casey, throughout the day. thank you. reporter: yep. gregg: well, a search for clues as a california woman tells her daughter that she is going out to meet somebody who found her dog and then she never comes home, she vanishes. and new violence in syria
the gao does confirm the audit and says it is just in the beginning stages, and planned parenthood didn t respond to our request for comment. gregg: kind of surprising. you would think they would want to say something. reporter: we ll let you know if we hear from them. gregg: shannon bream in washington, thanks. jenna: new information from fort hood to do, a judge ruling against the stand-by attorneys saying they must continue to assist in the accused fort hood shooter s defense, and then those same attorneys asked off this case. casey steegal has all the latest details, fast moving, from fort hood, texas. casey? reporter: yeah, jenna, a pretty big argument, i ve got to say, sort of erupting between hasan s stand-by counsel and the judge in this case. and it happened not long ago, just within the last hour or so. it all stems from that fireworks show yesterday when the court went into a sudden recess because, basically, hasan s defense lawyers asked to play a
