Last Updated 12:20 p.m. ET (CBS/AP) KABUL, Afghanistan – The Taliban published a video Monday they say shows insurgents preparing for the brazen attack on a major NATO base earlier this month, just as NATO forces released data showing that insurgent attacks decreased in August. The twin releases are a reminder of the escalating battle for public opinion between the insurgency and the international military as U.S. and allied troops draw down. The Taliban continue to contend that they are fighting at full force while the international alliance says that they have been weakened. In the Sept. 14 attack on Camp Bastion in Helmand province, 15 insurgents dressed in U.S. Army uniforms breached the base’s perimeter fence then used automatic rifles and rocket-propelled grenade launchers to fire on planes and people around the base’s airstrip. They managed to kill two Marines and destroy six fighter jets costing tens of millions each before they were stopped. All but one of the assailants were killed in the fighting. More in Afghanistan: The way forward The Taliban video shows men wearing U.S. Army uniforms as they practice cutting through a chain-link fence and charging through the opening. One man indicates targets with a pointer and a whiteboard showing drawings of planes and fortifications. He speaks Pashtun, a major language in southern Afghanistan and parts of Pakistan. Words on the whiteboard are written...

Some adults who were vaccinated against the measles in the 1960s may only have partial immunity. CBS News’ Dr. David Agus explained on “CBS This Morning” Friday why people who were vaccinated from 1963 to 1968 should see their doctor about potentially getting a booster shot. “Starting in 1963 we started vaccinating,” Agus said. “The first five years of the vaccine — some batches of it were not very good. None of us really know which batch we got.” “So you can either go to your doctor and say, ‘Draw a blood test and see if I have a high enough level,’ or just get the shot,” he said. “By the way, it’s a lot cheaper to just get the shot. So people who were vaccinated from 1963 to 1968 — that needs to happen.” According to Agus, those who were born before 1957 were most likely exposed to measles, meaning 95-98 percent of them have enough antibodies to fight the disease. From 1968 to 1989 doctors gave only one shot, meaning immunity among those people may be a little lower than those who received two shots.  “And so the argument is: if you’re going to a foreign country, if you’re potentially going to college — which obviously those people are probably not going to college now — [or] if you live in one of the areas where we’ve...

(CBS) “Boston” Rob Mariano may have finally won the $1 million prize last year on “Redemption Island,” but the four-time player isn’t done with “Survivor” yet. Mariano, who is appearing next on the History Channel show “Around the World in 80 Ways,” tells Celebrity Circuit that he and his wife, fellow “Survivor” winner Amber Brkich Mariano, watch the show together and comment on it. “Thank God for DVR because we pause, we’ll have a discussion and then it goes about two-and-a-half hours to watch the show,” he laughs. “Sometimes we agree, sometimes we don’t. That’s what makes it fun, to have the perspective of who people who have played and won. We love it.” Mariano tuned in for last week’s season premiere of “Survivor: South Pacific,” and sized up the competition for us. Pictures: “Survivor: South Pacific” Celebrity Circuit: We’re only one episode in, but what are your impressions so far? “Boston” Rob Mariano: It’s going to be tough for either [“Survivor” veterans Ozzy Lusth and Benjamin “Coach” Wade] to win, I think – even tougher because of the fact that I won last year. I think right now they’re doing a good job. They’re, for the most part, staying low-key, not causing crazy waves, which you don’t want to do in the beginning. They have to make themselves useful, so that [the other castaways] want to keep them....
