Several people on ABC have reported that the telemetry showed a higher temperature differential in the left wing...the same wing that was struck by the insulation on lift-off. They also said the Columbia wasn't equipped with a robotic arm for this flight and since they couldn't extend the camera outside the shuttle, there was probably no way to ascertain the total extent of the damage.
Also, Columbia was not designed for flights to the ISS...its weight was too heavy.
