The following script is from “Defense Secretary Panetta” which originally aired on Jan. 29, 2012 and was rebroadcast on June 10, 2012. Scott Pelley is the correspondent. Henry Schuster, producer. No one would have picked a 73-year-old, affable, former congressman as the one to track down Osama bin Laden. But as we first told you earlier this year, Leon Panetta has held the toughest jobs in Washington and quietly done what seems impossible. Before bin Laden, Panetta helped balance the federal budget. In a long career he’d been budget director and White House chief of staff, but by 1997 he left...
