Leon Panetta tells ‘60 Minutes’: We worried that Pakistan might give Osama bin Laden a heads-up
In an interview this weekend with CBS’ “60 Minutes,” Defense Secretary Leon Panetta explains why the United States didn’t tell Pakistan it was making a raid on Osama bin Laden’s compound last year.
“We had seen some military helicopters actually going over this compound,” Panetta tells Scott Pelley. “And for that reason, it concerned us that, if we, in fact, brought [Pakistan] into it, that they might … give bin Laden a heads-up.”
Navy SEALs found and killed bin Laden, the mastermind behind the Sept. 11 attacks, at the compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, last spring.
Panetta tells “60 Minutes” that he believes some Pakistan higher-up knew where bin Laden was hiding and cites intelligence reports that Pakistani military helicopters flew over the compound.
“I personally have always felt that somebody must have had some sense of what was happening at this compound. Don’t forget, this compound had 18-foot walls,” Panetta tells Pelley. “It was the largest compound in the area. So you would have thought that somebody would have asked the question, ‘What the hell’s going on there?’ ”
The Panetta interview airs at 7 p.m. Sunday on WKMG-Channel 6. In the wide-ranging interview, Panetta talks about the military budget, Iran and U.S. fighting around the world.
“We’re going after al Qaeda, wherever they’re at,” Panetta says. “And clearly, we’re confronting al Qaeda in Pakistan. We’re confronting the nodes of al Qaeda in Yemen, in Somalia, in North Africa. … and obviously whatever al Qaeda links are involved in Afghanistan.”
But al Qaeda has not been defeated yet, Panetta adds. “They’re still a real threat. There’s still al Qaeda out there. And we’ve got to continue to put pressure on them wherever they’re at,” Panetta says.

Mary Tyler Moore’s Co-Stars and Collaborators Reminisce About the SAG Lifetime Achievement Award Honoree
Betty White, Ed Asner, Cloris Leachman and more recall working with the star of “The Mary Tyler Moore Show” and “The Dick Van Dyke Show.”
Oh, Mare! Friends and collaborators of SAG’s 48th Life Achievement Award honoree recall working with the star of two classic sitcoms.

Mary Tyler Moore Reacts to SAG Life Achievement Honor
“I learned from her by osmosis all the time. She gesticulated more than I did. She was tremendously generous. She never resorted to backbiting, never a complaint, never an untoward word. She accepted the facts and foibles of everybody and left it to others to straighten out those who needed to fly right. She was inordinately prompt. All of us had tremendous stage experience. She probably had less. But she was a workaholic.”
Cloris Leachman
Co-star, The Mary Tyler Moore Show
“I always think in terms of different ways to do things — not how you’re supposed to do it but what would be a good, different way to do it. It takes more time to do that, and then you have to be able to do it with the camera. One time I said to Mary, ‘You’re so sweet to us, we have to remember you’re the star because we take so much time.’ She said, ‘I just wait for you to figure it all out, then you make a nice little path and I just dance down it.’ “
Pro Bowl 2012: Brandon Marshall’s 4 Touchdown Catches Lifts AFC In Pro Bowl (VIDEO)
HONOLULU — Brandon Marshall caught six passes for 176 yards and a Pro Bowl-record four touchdowns, and the AFC used a second-half surge to beat the NFC 59-41 on Sunday.
The Miami Dolphins wide receiver had a touchdown catch in each quarter, including an early 74-yarder and a 3-yarder in the fourth, in a game filled with highlight-reel catches. He was selected the game’s MVP and his four TD catches set a Pro Bowl record.
The 59 points by the AFC set a Pro Bowl mark, and the 100 points scored by the two teams combined was the second highest, a touchdown shy of the 107 scored in 2004.
But it was clear from the start it was Marshall’s day. He hauled in a deflected, go-ahead 47-yard TD pass from Andy Dalton, while on his back, to give the AFC a 38-35 lead late in the third quarter. It was Marshall’s third TD catch of the game, tying Jimmy Smith’s Pro Bowl record set in 2004.
Marshall, making his third Pro Bowl appearance, then nabbed a 3-yard TD pass from Dalton that gave the AFC a 52-35 lead with 8:25 left and put the game away.

Apple Earnings About iPad 3 and the Tablet Market
When Apple releases its earnings for the first fiscal quarter of 2012 late Tuesday, we’ll learn just how much the tablet market has changed since the release of the Kindle Fire in November — one of the main reasons tablet ownership shot up over the holiday season.
With its bargain-basement price ($199) and the plethora of Amazon services on tap, the Kindle Fire was a hot gift this holiday, and Amazon says it sold a record 4 million Kindles in the holiday (thought it doesn’t separate ereaders from tablets in those figures).
Just how many people opted to buy a Kindle Fire instead of an iPad? At least one investment bank has already weighed in, and we’ll have a better idea in a couple of hours.
Looking back a year, iPad sales over the 2010 holiday season were 7.3 million, up from 4.2 million the previous quarter — a 73% increase. Last quarter Apple sold 11.1 iPads, so to match the previous year’s spike, Apple would need to have sold 19.3 million iPads.
That doesn’t necessarily mean that if Apple comes up short of that figure that iPad sales have completely tanked, though. Demand for Apple products is so high that the company regularly has issues keeping up supply, so just being in the neighborhood of that mark will be quite an achievement. But if it’s appreciably short — say, by 3 million units — then Apple has a problem.
A lackluster iPad figure would mean that Apple is seriously challenged by this new low-priced competitor. That would be a big blow to what otherwise is expected to be a big earnings season for Apple, since whatever happens with the iPad, the iPhone 4S is widely expected to give the company its best iPhone sales ever.
It might also give a hint as to Apple’s strategy with iPad 3. For the first two generations of the product, Apple has been consistent in keeping the price stable, just adding features and performance. If the Kindle Fire is seriously cutting into iPad sales, though, that could change.
If its new competitor is a real threat, we might see Apple focus more on aggressive pricing, with merely incremental upgrades to the design. Such a revamp could possibly delay the release. Or perhaps Apple might take the iPad line in two directions — the original, high-end model and a smaller stripped-down version that will give anyone considering a Kindle Fire reason to head to the Apple Store instead.
Of course, there’s also the very real possibility that iPad sales were barely affected by the Kindle Fire. That would mean tablets have become a two-tier market, with Apple dominating the top and Amazon gobbling up what’s left on the bottom. Anyone thinking about competing (Microsoft, take note) will need to first figure out where they want to take their fight.
Wherever iPad sales end up, we’re going to learn something new about the tablet market, and if we’re lucky CEO Tim Cook might even let slip a hint or two about iPad 3. Mashable will have complete coverage of Apple’s earnings, which the company’s due to release at 5 p.m. Eastern Time. Stay tuned.
