was out for revenge. >> against americans and their drone teams outside the border. >> reporter: committed to avenging the pakistani man killed in a drone attack. a taliban leader. the jordanian doctor convinced official that he was their agent. as he got out of the car, the bomber's hand was in his pocket. security guards were about to search him with the intelligence personnel standing 50 feet back. he detonated the bomb then. >> you can't sacrifice trade craft under ordered from headquarters. he pretended to be tied in with the top al qaeda leadership. all sorts of short cuts were made. >> reporter: the director of the cia is attacking critics this morning. saying no one ignored the hazards. the cia's efforts in afghanistan and pakistan will be more difficult.

>> they'll have to pull back. and as a consequence, our intelligence is going to fall way off. >> present arms. >> reporter: we are witnessing something rarely seen, the funerals of secret warriors. harold brown's parents thought their son worked for the state department, not cia. >> he was, by all accounts, an american hero. >> reporter: near portland, one of the contract security guards was mourned. >> those left behind are forbidden from speaking about the mission, the sacrifice. >> reporter: at cia headquarters, 90 stars represent officers killed. more stars will be carved this spring. this time, we know some of their names and their sacrifice. the director of the cia promises that the fight will continue. in that letter this morning, he writes, we honor them by pushing forward the work they did, the work to which they were absolutely devoted. kate? >> let's get the bottom line on that story and more.

the host of "this week" and the cohost of "good morning america" george stephanopoulos is with us. good morning, george. let's start with leon panetta. he's defending the agency. the cia is under fire for this and lapses of intelligence leading for the christmas bomber as well. how tough is it for him right now? >> pretty tough. some of calling this bombing in afghanistan the most costly mistake c history. as you say, he's really fighting back hard. one of the things he points out is that the bomber was actually stopped 50 feet away from the agents. was approached by a security guard, had his hand in his pocket, that's when he detonated the bomb. it was not a failure of trade craft. according to the cia director, leon panetta. cia also under fire for not sharing intelligence the proper way, not prioritizing the information. they've promised to get

information out within 48 hours. president obama was not inclined to fire anyone for these failures. the fact that this bombing came in the wake of the christmas bombing plot made it, it would have devastated morale in the agency had he removed anybody in the cia. >> a new book coming out this week about the 2008 presidential race. some comments from the senate democratic leader, harry reed getting a lot of attention. they quote him as saying he could do well as a candidate because he was light skinned and didn't speak with a negro dialect unless he wanted to have one. reid's apologized for the comments. the president said the book is closed on this. is it? >> reid was in trouble already. he's up for re-election and behind both possible opponents. he's got a 52% unfavorable

rating in the state of nevada. this was a private conversation. meant to be private with the book's authors. reid was explaining why he was pushing obama to be the candidate in the first place. his words were unfortunate. he's admitted that. i think the fact that the president has said this case is closed, the fact that other african-american leaders have come out, will at least tamp this down for now. reid has serious political problems at home right now. >> pretty stunning for the majority leader of the senate to have the problems back at home. i know you're talking about the economy this morning. the new numbers out. what do you make of that? >> we have dr. christina romer, the chair of the president's counsel on economic advisers. administration economists were not expecting this. they thought there would be a small loss in december, maybe a chance of job gains in december. this was a real kick in the teeth to the administration.

just as they're trying to get traction on the economy. we want the find out from her what went wrong, what is behind the numbers? does it increase the chances of a double-dip recession? what can the president do? we have a big roundtable today. the president under fire for the failures of intelligence. liz cheney will join the roundtable. along with george will, robert reich, al hunt. judy woodruff. >> a packed show. we'll be watching. you can tune in to "this week" a little later on. speaking with christina romer. the worst night yet of the deep freeze in florida. farmers are doing whatever they can to save their crops. an arctic blast plunging temperatures to record lows last night. a rare snowfall put added pressure on growers. abc's ryan owens joins us now. ryan, good morning. >> reporter: good morning.

plenty of ice around this morning. this was intentionally put here by the farmer to provide insulation. this morning, he tells us that it largely worked. he may have lost 30% of his crops. not nearly as d as he feared. in florida alone, an estimated $300 milon of crops are threatened by this cold snap. >> that's what's at risk tonight. good luck, guys. >> reporter: no wonder he didn't get much sleep last night. >> we're bracing for the worst and hoping for the best. >> reporter: how worried are you? >> i'm as worried as a man can be. >> reporter: matt park is worried too. we introduced you to him yesterday morning. he already pulled five all nighters this week. >> got 31. >> reporter: last night, another one. after midnight, we found him keeping a close eye on the thermometers and generators. this arctic blast is causing problems across the south.

in north georgia, a pond froze over, just enough to cause a deadly deception. >> the ice looks real thick. >> i didn't thing it would break that easy. >> reporter: three teenagers fell into what they thought was solid ice. only one survived. dozens of elderly residents were evacuated from a nursing home in texas. after a pipe burst. walking in memphis was no easy task. water main breaks turned the streets into a slushy mess. >> once one broke, pressures started changing, the others have broken as well. >> reporter: i mentioned this particular farmer lost about 30% of his crops. look at this orange. it's a little bit difficult to see on television. there are some chunks of ice in the orange. you would pick this up and thing this was good. when you feel it, you can feel the ice. while it may look okay, an orange like this will not end up at a supermarket near you. kate and josh?

>> that little bit of frost inside is a killer. >> matt said he could be facing losses in the millions of dollars. >> even if it's 1% of his crop lost, that could equate to millions of dollars. unbelievable. ron, good morning. >> good morning, kate, good morning, again, josh. we begin with the earthquake josh mentioned in northern california. it hit just off the coast. knocking out power to about 25,000 people. forced the evacuation of some buildings. so far no major injuries. it has been followed by weaker aftershocks. > police in hong kong arrested a man they say was behind an acid attack. in a crowded tourist area. two bottles of liquid were thrown into the crowd yesterday. 30 people were injured including children and tourists. a new government report shows that the senate health care reform bill would only increase costs slightly while expanding health care coverage. it calls some of the medicare

savings unrealistic. a terror suspect accused of flying to pakistan to get training from al qaeda has pleaded not guilty. he was arrested in connection with denver airport driver najibullah zazi. the dallas cowboys knocked off the eagles. 34-14. and the wild card new york jets beat the cincinnati bengals, 24-14. they'll play the chargers or indianapolis. the dream ends this weekend. ask josh. >> it will be an uphill climb. it's an uphill climb. i'm just saying. it is. all i know, yesterday, that was the longest work day of my life. >> we got to get to marysol. good morning. >> good morning. we turn to florida. that's where a lot of the action is. it's frigid. frigid temperatures.

take a look at this map. this is the current temperature. 30 in tampa, 35 in miami. the normal low for this time of year is 60 degrees. you can just see the extremes in temperature. that there's a warmup just around the corner. some of the highs will be ab >> a frigid morning in the nation's capital. you can see the picture shaking because the winds are gusting up to 25 miles per hour out there. temperatures in the teens across the area. winds sustained about 10 to 15. that will be the story throughout the day. the big picture, a wind advisory to the west until 10:00 a.m. high temperature today 32 to 35 degrees out there, and then we'll hav >> thanks so much. more on the sunday outlook later

in the show. josh? a new round in the national debate over gay marriage is about to play out in california. a land mark court case beginning tomorrow that could lay the ground work to send the issue the u.s. supreme court. abc's brian rooney has the story. >> reporter: same sex couples briefly had the right to marry in california. until the passage of proposition 8 took it away. a lawsuit challenges with whether that deans californians the right to equal protection under the law. >> if the majority could vote on minority rights, we wouldn't have any. >> reporter: they were hotly contested in the final weeks before election day 2008 and the more measure's passage by less than a 5% margin.

>> the majority rules in a democracy. >> reporter: marriage laws all across the country are at stake. only five sates recognize same-sex marriage. 36 have banned it. >> this decision will affect millions. >> reporter: the debate has joined some odd couples on the side of same-sex marriage. arnold schwarzenegger and jerry brown say it's unconstitutional. they left to it the lawyers to defend it. the lawyers, joined on the attack, are david boies and conservative ted olson who beat him in the supreme court. >> it's not just california and just people who wanted to get married. it's civil rights in the country and decency and fairness. >> reporter: and one last novelty. of a case about a new way of looking at marriage. for the first time, the proceedings in federal court will be recorded on camera and posted on youtube.

for "good morning america," brian rooney. abc news, los angeles. and joining us to discuss it all, from san francisco this morning, attorney david boies. good morning, david. >> good morning. >> with no clear tie to this issue, why did you decide to take on this case? >> i think it's one of the most important civil rights cases of our generation. as the supreme court has repeatedly held, marriage is a fundamental right for every human being. to deprive gay and lesbian couples of this right causes them enormous damage without gaining society anything. >> and yet, proposition eight bans same-sex marriage. in new york and new jersey, they voted against allowing gay marriage. those are liberal states. at least at the state level it would suggest that voting majorities, high courts have spoken on this issue. given that momentum, why seek a

reversal? >> because the whole point of a constitution is a constitution and the bill of rights limits what a majority can do with respect to minority rights. if you were going to apply the majority rule, you wouldn't need a bill of rights or a constitution. our society is built on the principle that there are certain inalienable rights, life, liberty, the pursuit of happine happiness, that every human being is guaranteed, and that the government cannot take that away, no matter how many people vote for it. >> to that point, it's not just opponents of same-sex marriage you have had to face. prominent gay rights advocates have expressed concern that a loss at the federal level could set a precedent that could take

decades to unmake. surely you've considered both outcomes here. what would a loss mean? >> i think it would mean that the battle would have to continue on a state-by-state basis, as it has been over a sustained period of time. this is an attempt to apply the federal constitution to these issues. we believe, as the supreme court has held in a numb of cases, that the right to marry is a federally guaranteed constitutional right. if the courts decide against us, ani hope they won't, that would put it back in the state arena. the states can gain greater protection for rights than the federal constitution can give. that's what iowa, massachusetts, that's what a number of other states have done. you can have progress on a state-by-state basis. particularly because of the problems in california and in my own state of new york and new jersey, we thought it was an appropriate time to vindicate the rights in federal court. >> david, very quickly, you're

joined in this fight by an old adversary, ted olson. given your history, ten seconds, what was the motivation in coming together here? >> this is not a liberal or conservative issue. not a republican or democratic issue. this is a civil rights issue. you have the liberal, democrat, conservative, republican, together because we both recognize this is civil rights, not a question of politics. >> david boies, you have a busy day ahead tomorrow. thank you for your time. >> thank you very much. josh, before we go to break. a sign of the times we want to share with you. a bunch of people in the office were talking about that. their friends posting just a color as their status update on facebook. they put a color. turns out it was a movement that made its way around the globe with uplifting results. who knew women would be so quick

to tell? >> i said blue. >> i was like, all right, purple. why not? >> i said light yellow. >> reporter: it started with a message from woman to woman. we are playing a game. write the color of your bra in your facebook status. this will be fun. it's a novel way of raising awareness for breast cancer. men were perplexed. >> i saw girls with colors as the status. i didn't know what it was for. and then i just recently found out it was for breast cancer awareness. >> reporter: in matter of 24 hours, traffic to the susan g. komen foundation increased nearly 2,000 the foundation says that it could have a positive effect. >> i think simply put this has been for a lot of people a fun and creative way to sit up and take notice and have a dialogue about breast cancer. >> and in solidarity, and for my female friends with breast chance and have fought it,

off-white. >> that is uplifting. coming up, under suspicion. the husband of a missing utah woman packs up and gets ready to leave town. raising more questions about his possible role in her disappearance. and star search. will a lack of big names leave tv viewers and american fans cold?
