How should the U.S. react to James Foley's murder?

[Jazzy]

The U.S. government is still working to confirm that a graphic video released Tuesday by the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) shows the gruesome murder of James Foley, but his family has no doubt the 40-year-old American journalist is now dead.

In the video, an ISIS executioner who speaks with a British accent threatens to kill a second American journalist, Steven Sotloff, if the U.S. military continues airstrikes against the Sunni Muslim extremists in northern Iraq.

CBS News contributor and former deputy director of the CIA Mike Morell explains on "CBS This Morning" what American intelligence officials might be able to glean from the gruesome video, and how he believes President Obama should -- and should not -- react to the direct threat from the Islamic extremist group.

ISIS, says Morell, is very clearly "trying to intimidate the U.S. into backing off" from the policy of airstrikes in Iraq.

"I think our response should be, and in fact will be, to not do that," says Morell, who used to be in charge of preparing President Obama's daily intelligence briefings.

He says, if anything, the U.S. military should "pick up the pace" in helping to reclaim territory from the militants who now pose a clear and direct threat to the United States.
