CBS' John Miller Rises Above The Fray In Boston Bombing Case

David Bauder's Associated Press account of journalist John Miller was posted on Philly.com.

NEW YORK - If John Miller had scheduled an earlier flight, the CBS News coverage of the Boston Marathon bombing and its aftermath would have been much weaker.

Miller was driving home on the afternoon of April 15 to pick up his wife for their flight to a vacation in Florence, Italy. A phone call alerted him to the bombings and he turned around and headed back to the office, where he's spent much of his time since.

His dual role as a low-key explainer and reporter helped keep CBS ahead on key details of the investigation as the suspects' identities began to emerge, and away from missteps made by other news organizations.

Miller, who appears primarily on "CBS This Morning," reported two days after the bombing that authorities had their eye specifically on someone seen by a store security camera. When Internet sleuths began speculating about potential suspects based on pictures taken at the scene, Miller steered CBS away from them. Miller similarly assured the network it wasn't true when rivals reported erroneously that a suspect had been arrested, said CBS News President David Rhodes.
His bosses knew as much from Miller's demeanor as his words that day. Miller sat calmly in the newsroom eating a sandwich while other news divisions were frantically reporting and unreporting an arrest, Rhodes said.

Al Qaeda's Intent High, Capability Low, John Miller Says

CBS News' John Miller discusses the possiblity of a terrorist attack on the anniversary of Osama bin Laden's death.

Al Qaeda's intent to mark the one-year anniversary of the death of Osama bin Laden is high, but the terror group's capability, for now, is low, says John Miller.

Sources tell CBS News there has been an increase in messages on jihadist extremist websites calling for terror attacks on May 2, the anniversary of last year's U.S. Navy SEALs raid on bin Laden's compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan.

There has been no indication of any credible, specific attacks, said Miller - a former deputy director at the Office of the Director of National Intelligence - on "CBS This Morning."

How To Make The FBI's 10 Most Wanted List

CBS News reported that child pornographer Eric Justin Toth replaced the late terrorist Osama bin Laden on the FBI's 10 Most Wanted List.

John Miller explained how the process works.

CBS News senior correspondent John Miller, a former assistant FBI director, said various divisions of the FBI is now poring over piles of folders, meeting a couple times a week to fill that space.

So how are "Most Wanted" fugitives selected?

Three criteria are considered when a person is added to the list, Miller said. How long someone has been on the list - the longer the more likely the person gets added to the list - helps qualify a candidate. Also, people make the list if they're believed to be at risk of committing, usually, a violent crime, again. And finally, if national publicity could help find the person, they may be added to the listing.
