John tester of montana said that the broadcast exposed flaws in background invesesgations that are used to grant security clearances to federal employees and contractors. Tonight we have more of our investigation on this broadcast. This time a look at how people who hold on to their clearances are able to do so even after crimes and psychotic behavior. In 2013 aaron alexis was profoundly psychotic when he murdered 12 people in a navy office. He was a contractor with a security clearance. Building because he was supposed to be there with full access to should have been able to get to. Reporter Paul Stockton is a former assistant secretary of defense who led an investigation. He found that after alexis got he was arrested for firing a bullet through the ceiling of his apartment, arrested for vandalizing a nightclub, and he it was shocking that he was able to get and retain a security clearance. Reporter but alexis retained the clearance because by regulation it was up to him to selfreport his crimes to his superiors. Otherwise, his clearance would not be automatically reevaluated until it expired after ten years. Army specialist ricky elder is a similar case. After he got his clearance he was charged with two assaults, a dui hitandrun and aggravated battery. It took five years to suspend his clearance after which, during a briefing, he killed his commander and himself. How do you assess the National Security clearance process as it exists today . I think its elaborate and woefully insufficient. Reporter former deputy secretary of defense john hamre says people are clearances should be monitored continuously for signs of Mental Illness or criminal behavior. Once youre in youre in. Once youre in youre in. We should be turning this thing upside down and saying what are the key jobs that are so sensitive that were going to be monitoring these people intensively, continually.

Reporter now, sea world is only ending the killer whale show at its park in san diego. Scott, the company says the shows will continue at their parks in orlando and san antonio, texas. Ben tracy, thanks. Come back. Tonight we have results of a new study that says sharply lower Blood Pressure leads to significantly longer lives. We asked our dr. Jon lapook to explain. Reporter current guidelines for people with high Blood Pressure generally target a level of below 140, for those age 60 and over below 150. This trial followed more than 9,000 people over 50 with high Blood Pressure and at least one other risk factor for heart disease. Doctors used medication to lower their pressure to under either 140 or 120. Early when data showed a clear difference in outcomes. Results published today show the under 120 group had a 38 lower risk of Heart Failure than the other group and a 27 lower risk of death. However, the under 120 group also had more serious side effects, like low Blood Pressure, fainting, abnormal blood chemistries, and kidney problems. Dr. George bakris of university of chicago medicine specializes in treating high Blood Pressure. In these people that are older you can push the Blood Pressure down to 120. It is well tolerated, and there is a benefit. So jon, what are doctors likely to do with this information . Well, scott, doctors tend to be cautious. While the more aggressive treatment does lower the risk of those heart problems, it can increase the risk of those other side effects we talked about. So i think were going to see an ongoing discussion of the pros and the cons. Jon, thanks very much.

For others check back with us just a little later for the morning news and cbs this morning. York city, im scott pelley. He. Announcer qus the this is the cbs overnight news. Welcome to the overnight news. Im jericka duncan. For more than 50 years the nation of myanmar, also known as burma, has been ruled by a military dictatorship. But early returns from sundays parliamentary elections shows the age of the generals has likely passed. The Opposition Party led by Nobel Peace Prize winner Aung San Suu Kyi is already declaring a landslide victory. Opposition candidates have captured nearly every seat in rangoon, the biggest city in the country. The countryside. Before the vote Bill Whitaker paid a visit to burma and the woman they call mother sue for 60 minutes. Reporter theres a timeless quality to burma. Its a place almost untouched by the outside world. For about a half century the military kept burma locked away, impoverished, as if in a wretched time capsule. For as long as anyone can remember, monks in saffron robes have flowed from monasteries to collect alms each morning. In this overwhelmingly buddhist country the faithful come to the center of burmas largest city, rangoon, to pray at the most sacred shrine. But it was burmas most wellknown living symbol we wanted to meet. Very nice to meet you. Reporter Aung San Suu Kyi, the woman who had the courage to stand up to the junta. Just a few years ago people could be jailed for possessing her picture. Now her image is everywhere. She is the face of the new burma. People want a happy ending. They want burma to be a success story. There are too few Success Stories and too few happy endings in this world today. But i always say that you dont get something simply because you want it. Do you believe that burma is on the path to democracy now . Its not firmly on the path to democracy. We are on the path to disciplined democracy. What is disciplined democracy . I think its democracy as seen by military authoritarian leaders. Does it fit with your idea of democracy . Not an exact fit, no. Reporter to reach suu kyi we traveled five hours by road from rangoon deep into the heart of burma. There are about 50 million burmese. This is how most of them live. Our destination was this extravagant city the generals d. C. Its called naypyidaw, burmese for seat of the king. They moved the capital here from rangoon a decade ago. It was built in secrecy and no one would tell us how much it cost. It has an orwellian feel with grandiose buildings, deserted tenlane highways, and most bizarre, almost no people. This place is for rulers, not citizens. And its not a place suu kyi feels comfortable. Shes here only because shes now a member of parliament. When you look at this and the power it represents, what makes you think you can change this . It does not present itself as part of the country, as part of the people. And however impressive this complex may be, it doesnt really represent the people. San suu kyi she seemed calm, almost serene, but after talking with her for a while we noticed the steely determination that got her through nearly two decades of house arrest. Youre a toughminded person, arent you . I never thought of myself as being particularly brave. I used to be frightened of the dark when i was small. And im not very good with dead rats and things like that. But face what has to be faced. And i hope as best as im able. You must know that you are seen worldwide as a symbol of democracy. No, i dont like to be called a symbol, and i dont like to be called an icon. I will just say that i have to work very, very hard. So id rather be known as a hard worker. I dont think symbols do much, nor icons. Reporter suu kyi caught the world as tension when she first burma in 1988. The generals crushed her movement, killed and imprisoned her followers, and put her under house arrest. After a nationwide revol
