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 released some details of that raid. Margaret, good morning. Carried out in early july. It involved air and Ground Forces w hstage. Heavily armed two special inside an oil refinery in the. Swoopd in one amgesanho heenhem 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. Military 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 d 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 erhas t be 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 th air strikes . I think it is going to take a co a safe haven to its job. The other thing it battlefield. That means capturing or killing them. How is that done . Acquiring the intelligence you need on where these guys a take them into custody or ama bin laden, cut the head off the snake. Absolutely. This is a small leadership. Exert exten to how the group oper oncerned isis might do inside the concern is the 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;< 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 tut a mission inside syria in the 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.

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.

Nearly 17 billion, the price tag for bank of america this morning and a record settlement with the 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.

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 hamas says the three men were responsible for a number of attacks on israeli targets.
