mine from the uk. he used to have a pill guaranteed to lose weight. you take the pill, go to your local pub, and you throw the pill down the hill and run after it. you repeat this 20 times three times a day, and, boom, the obesity epidemic is all over. you can have that one for nothing too. that's all for tonight. "ac 360," who's very trim, by the way. starts right now. a dramatic new twist in the foiled al qaeda plot in yemen to bomb a plane bound for the united states. word tonight that the would be suicide bomber was actually a double agent under control of the cia and saudi intelligence, an informant who infiltrated al qaeda and handed over to the cia and foreign intelligence agencies not only the bomb, according to "the new york times," but also the information that helped the cia carry out a drone strike against a top al qaeda operative. we don't know the name or nationality of a double agent, and this, of course, is a highly

sensitive situation, so we want to be careful about what we say. some extraordinary details have already been leaked out to a number of publications. "the new york times" reports the bomb itself was sewn into underwear so that it would have been difficult to detect even in a patdown and undoubtedly could have brought down a plane, according to a senior american official. congressman peter king of new york is chairman of the house security committee. again, there's a lot that cannot be discussed. so we're leaving it up to the experts to tell us what they can. congressman king joins us now. congressman king, the would be bomber is actually a double agent. what can you tell us about it and about him? >> i really can't tell you much at all. i've been briefed on this, and as far as i know, this hasn't been any way declassified by the cia and the administration. it's really to me unfortunate this has gotten out. this could really interfere with operations overseas. i can't comment on any of the details. i know it's out there.

i know it's being reported. and i was also at a briefing this afternoon with top officials, and there's a really great concern this got out. my understanding is a major investigation is going to be launched because of this. >> you were also briefed yesterday. we talked to you yesterday about what details you could say. are there any new details that you can say? >> i don't believe so, anderson. i hate to do this to you. yesterday i did say to you that i was told and i could zayed that the bomber, the alleged bomber was no longer of any concern to us. and now i guess a different interpretation can be put on that, that everyone was reading into it last night. from what i understand, i'll be surprised if you'll find anyone confirming this on the record what you're reporting. again, by tomorrow or the next day, it will be a different story. i will say this is one of the most sophisticated intelligence operations that i've been aware of. i've never seen anything as tightly held.

it was held as close as anything i've ever seen. that's why the leak, when it broke about a week ago, really put a lot of risk, including human lives. even now, the fact that it's coming out can be dangerous. >> congressman peter king, thank you. joining us now is cnn contributor and former security officer bob bayer and national security contributor fran townsend, and ali sufan, former fbi special agent and author of the back, "the black beanners." fran, what are you okay about saying? >> congressman king is absolutely right. the more tactical, operational details that come out, it makes it more difficult for intelligence and law enforcement then to determine were there others besides the informant they did control who volunteered to take a bomb? did the bombmaker in yemen, presumably -- presumably, it's al siri, the bombmaker of al qaeda in the arabian

peninsula -- make more than one? those of us who work these cases know the m.o. is to plan for multiple, simultaneous attacks. it would be very odd if they had just one bomber and one bomb. when the congressman says to you it puts things at risk, it puts the investigation at risk. it makes it harder for them to try and find out. sources have said to me we don't know if there are more bombers or more bombs out there. >> sources have been talking to "the new york times," who broke the story a few hours ago, and other news organizations which had the story days ago and have actually been holding on to it. >> that's exactly right. once it began to come out, then sources are willing -- they don't feel as though they're betraying the secret. they feel they're confirming something they already know. sources said to us, which is something you already reported, the informant was the source of the information that led to the bomb strike in al qusa in the

arabian peninsula, and it's a way to get their hands on, because cia, working with saudi intelligence, controlled this informant. that's the reason we got the device, and the fbi is now able to use their bomb tech facility to go through it. they're going to look to see, is it petn, which is the same substance that al siri has used in the past. have they fixed the detonation device? because that's the thing in the underwear bomber that failed, that caused it not to detonate. those sorts of things will be incredibly important for them, one, to understand this plot, two, to understand the sophistication of the bombmaker, three, to be able to try to release enough information to allow screeners know what exactly are they looking for? i'm told there's a real debate whether or not they'll release the photos of the device, which you typically would consider doing, so that screeners had a picture of what they're looking for. >> "the new york times" account i read says this is a new type

of underwear bomb with actually two types of detonators. with the detroit underwear bomber, there was only one type that failed, and this now has two types, which would basically be showing again the enemy again is a learning enemy and learned from their mistakes of the past. >> absolutely. >> bob bayer, talk about how the cia works with a double agent like this. is it possible the agent didn't even know he was helping the united states? >> no. you want to get control of these guys. what they did was recruited him and ran him back into the group, al siri's group, if indeed that was the group. this is a classic intelligence operation, and frankly, it's brilliant. controlling one of these guys, getting them to the meeting, turning the bomb over, getting a copy of it, and the guy will go in and figure out how many more are out there. of course, that's the big question. was there just one, or are there

multiple bombs? this is why all these leaks is not the way you want to go because -- i can read between the lines. the administration is afraid there's more out there. i'm sorry this was leaked because this is a source, and they're really, really hard to come by. i've seen this a couple of times in my career. it's a brilliant operation, and they did a great job. >> is it possible they sent somebody in rather than turn somebody who was already there? >> either way. whether they found a cousin or somebody like that and ran him into the group or he was already there and they intercepted them in sort of a cold meeting and pitched him, i can't tell you. the details aren't out there. the point is getting control of one of these people in a group that's committed, that are believers, that are ready to commit suicide is really, really tough. >> ali, you know a lot about

yemen. you investigated the "uss cole bombing." what are the details out there that you can comment on? >> i think it's a phenomenal success. we have to basically congratulate the cia for doing it. i hope, to be honest with you, for many years now we don't know exactly what happened. there are sources and methods, and these sources and methods are protecting american lives, saving airlines from being blown up. i think it is very immaturish for people to leak. >> why does somebody leak this? if this is -- assuming that people leak this, are people who have direct knowledge of the operation, people who are in the law enforcement community, or in the intelligence community, why would they leak? >> i agree with what representative king said and i think they should have an investigation about this. i did undercover al qaeda related cases and i know how dangerous it is when you are with a group and they can kill you in a second if they know that you're a federal agent or you're a source for another government. it is very dangerous, and you have to keep your eye on the

ball, and you have to go back to your family. so doing something like this for any reason, even if just to make the american people happy that we're winning against al qaeda is very selfish. >> because to your point, these operations also have multiple arms to them and it's not just initially one attack? >> that's right, and this is a particularly poignant victory for the cia. remember, it was the coast bombing where there was a double agent used against them, goes on to a forward operating base in afghanistan, the coast base, and kills a whole bunch of cia officers because a double agent was used against them. so the notion of having a succession of a double agent against al qaeda is a particularly satisfying victory for them, i think. >> in your career at the cia, bob, you actually worked on devices, on bombs. what can you talk about? what can you say about that? >> the cia as got a long history

of going after these airplane bombs. they have a facility where they remake these thipgs. when i was in beirut, we were coming across suitcase where is groups there were putting in the walls of samsonnite suitcases. >> petn has been around a long time? >> it has. it's the most dangerous explosive to use against airlines. we got the guys to show us how they did it. some of them were heroin smugglers and had been putting heroin in the lining of suitcases, and they switched over to the terrorist groups and put the petn in. i can tell you it's very complicated making these things, and the fact that these have been reintroduced into this milieu again is very dangerous.

as we have said the other night, as fran said, one of these things are going to get through unless we have these operations. >> i appreciate the sensitivity of it and what you were able to say. fran, ali, bob, thank you. today voters in north carolina deciding the fate of same-sex marriages and all same-sex unions. a pastor in north carolina has been encouraging his church to vote for the ban, and in a fiery sermon he encouraged parents to punch their sons if they showed he effeminate behavior and should crack their son's limp wrist. he's backtracking on that now, but only somewhat in an interview with cnn's david mattingly. >> what would you say differently? >> i would say straighten. that's one thing. i would say straighten that wrist. >> he also said, when he said to punch their sons, he didn't actually mean punch. we'll hear more.

raw politics tonight, the polls are closed in primaries in three states. mitt romney is the projected winner in virginia, north carolina, but there are other contests that are drawing the focus. an end to senator dick lugar's 36 years in the senate. his opponent is projected to win. senator lugar asked both parties to come together. >> we are experiencing deep divisions in our country right now. these divisions have stalemated progress in critical areas, but these divisions are not insurmountable, and i believe that people of good will, regardless of party, can work together for the benefit of our country. >> a lot of raw politics to get

to. i'm joined by ari fleischer, former press secretary for president bush. and eric aronson. eric, you came out last year supporting senator lugar's challenger when he was down by 20 points or more. what happened? how did the senator lose? >> a couple of things. it wasn't just tea party activists asking richard to run. it was two-thirds of the indiana republican party asking him to run. richard lugar got disqualified from voting in indiana because he doesn't live there anymore. he just grew out of touch with indiana. that's a problem that politicians have. completely lost touch with indiana. the tea party saw the opportunity to pick up a seat and move it to the right, and they did with richard mourdock. >> any lessons in the lugar detaet? >> i think eric nailed it. i'm a hoosier.

i live in the state with my wife. you forget who you are back home. is he really a hoosier anymore, or has he forgotten about us? he didn't return home often enough. that sends a signal. when two-thirds of the establishment republicans in indiana turn against you, from the very beginning of the campaign, it really shows you've been away too long. less ideology, less tea party, just more an older statesman who got out of touch. >> cornell, is that the way you see it as well? >> it's interesting we want to talk about being out of touch, and the truth of the matter is this is more the tea party wanting to take over the republican party. you see from the outside looking in, most americans look at this, and they say, here's a party that increasingly moderate and people who want to compromise just aren't welcome in. let's be clear. lugar barely had a challenge last time in indiana. he's someone who's won that seat convincingly. that seat now moves from a seat that democrats, was not in the top tier to democrats to a seat that democrats certainly target

now because you've moved a moderate, middle of the road republican out of that seat in a state like indiana where all of a sudden democrats on the senate side probably have a pretty good shot of taking that senate seat. a tea party in this way is absolutely not helping the republican party. >> eric, you say he lost -- i'm sorry. ari, go ahead. eric, you said he lost touch in indiana, but is part of it he was willing to compromise with democrats? >> for the tea party, to a degree it was. it was on spending issues more than anything, where he was willing to compromise too much for the tea party. but, again, two-thirds of the establishment republican party, county chairman and statewide committee in indiana wanted someone new. unfortunately for politicians on both sides of the aisle, sometimes they don't know when to retire. but to cornell's point this being a moderate being taken over by a conservative, richard lugar couldn't even appeal the

decision because he didn't live there to say the conservatives were taking over. this is what he was saying in 2010 that americans wouldn't go along with the tea party, and now they control a number of governor mansions. >> and we're getting stuff like in north carolina where gay rights and abortion and attacks on women's health care is front and center when you came into office talking about the economy, the economy, the economy and deficit. we haven't seen the republicans act at all on the economy and deficit. we've seen all these social issues brung front and center. that's why today the tea party is unfavorable the way it has. it was a false bill of goods. >> this is just comical. he's saying all these social issues front and center? this is the same group that was attacking republicans for trying to do something about pensions that were bankrupting the nation in wisconsin and ohio. the tea party has been a healthy injection into the republican party. it's brought republicans back to meaning it when we say we're fiscal conservatives and do something to save our country and children from debt.

don't overread that was the influence in indiana. if it was, i'd be proud to say that. i'd be happy to say that. it wasn't the case in indiana. i love democrats to spend money in indiana and waste it on trying to take that seat. it won't happen, not in indiana. >> we've got to leave it there. ari, cornell, eric, thanks. we've got a lot to cover tonight. the battle over a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage in north carolina has led to strong rhetoric. eadvantage livang liadvantage - graham ran full page ads saying marriage is between a man and a woman. but the most shocking is in fayetteville. pastor john harris said he was trying to communicate the word of god through marriage where dads should give their boys a punch if they showed effeminate behavior and, quote, crack their limp wrist. take a listen. >> so your little son acts girlish when he's 4 years old.

instead of crushing is like a cockroach and saying, man up, son, get outside and dig a ditch because that's what boys do, you get out the camera, and you start taking pictures of johnny acting like a female, and then you upload it to youtube, and everybody laughs about it. and next thing you know, this dude, this kid is acting out childhood fantasies that should have been squashed. can i make it any clearer? dads, the second you see your son dropping the limp wrist, you walk over there and crack that wrist. man up. give him a good punch. okay? you are not going to act like that. you were made by god to be a male, and you're going to be a male. >> dr. harris' sermon went viral online. he sort of apologized. here's what he had to say then. >> i should not have said what i said about cracking or punching

and a particular bias toward outward attraction of girls, nor should i have used the words "special dispensation." i did not say that children should be squashed. i have never suggested children or those in the lgbt lifestyle should be beaten, punched, abused either physically or psychologically in any form or fashion. >> harris says right there he never suggested children in what he called the, quote, lgbt lifestyle be beaten or punched. that is not true. he not only suggested it, he said it flat out. you just heard it. he said, give him a good punch. we asked sean harris to come on the program tonight, but he said no. he did agree to sit down with cnn's david mattingly after delivering his sermon on sunday. >> give him a good punch. >> sure. >> squash him like a cockroach, crack that wrist. >> right. >> what exactly were you telling

your congregation to do here? >> i was telling them in strong words that we're not careful. what did i learn this week? be more careful with your words. >> reporter: those words struck a national barrage of harsh online criticism. harris says he became the target of angry, hateful messages filled with profanity and multiple death threats after telling parents how to deal with children and effeminate behavior. what would you say differently? >> i would say straighten. that's one thing. straighten that wrist. >> reporter: what about the punch remark? >> sure, the punch remark. it's amazing how punch has been equated to inciting violence against gay youth. that's not what i meant. >> reporter: when you said give him a good punch, what exactly did you mean? >> a shove, an affirmation. you see coaches give their players a good punch, a good slug. it's a way of affirming the gender distinctions between a male and a female. >> reporter: harris preaches a

biblical interpretation at the berean baptist church in fayetteville that homosexuality is a choice, a sweeping behavior. anyone looking for an apology will be disappointed. >> i was apologizing for my behavior to say the right thing, to be more careful, to make sure that no one thinks that sean harris is suggesting, as was said, although i never said this, beat the gay out of children. those weren't my words. i didn't even use that. i don't even believe there are such things as gay children. i wasn't saying that. i was dealing with effeminate behavior and instructing parents to affirm the manhood or the womanhood in their children. >> reporter: is there anything else that you'd like to apologize for? >> no, i don't think that i need to apologize for preaching to my people what the word of god says. that's my responsibility. >> reporter: on this sunday, police keep watch outside the church. demonstrators are kept at a distance. the protesters are down here,

over 100 yards away from the church. they were granted a permit to say what they needed to say at this intersection, and the complaints they have are not just about the words that the pastor had in his service last sunday, but about the reaction from the congregation as well. >> crack that wrist. punch him if he's gay. i support it. i give you permission to do it is pretty much what he was saying. and they were laughing. nobody once said, wait a minute. hold on. >> reporter: there was laughter in the congregation. i heard a few amens on the recording. >> yeah, because they knew what i meant. they knew i wasn't advocating violence against gays, lesbians, youth. >> reporter: in the service before our interview, pastor harris got a standing ovation. these members tell me harris has nothing to apologize for. >> he's always has a little levity, i guess you would say, into it, and that's why we all laugh because we know our pastor. >> we know there's no way he was advocating violence, and that's

why no one walked out. >> i don't think he needs to change his words at all. >> reporter: and yet when your words go outside of this church onto the internet, they sound hateful to some people. >> absolutely, i know they did. i listened to myself and thought, is that what you meant? i said, of course not. but i can understand how someone misunderstood that. >> reporter: but don't expect to see any changes at the berean baptist church or any more apologies. pastor sean harris' sermons will continue to go out to the worldwide web as they always have, only more carefully worded. david mattingly, cnn, fayetteville, north carolina. tonight the lives of two young girls are hanging in the balance, 12-year-old alexandria bain and her 8-year-old sister kylea. authorities in tennessee are asking for help finding them and their kidnapper. "ñfñ

crime and punishment tonight. new developments in the search for two young girls and their accused kidnapper. this man, adam mayes, shown here in a convenience store surveillance video. he's considered armed and dangerous. 12-year-old alexandra bain and her 8-year-old sister kyliyah, are believed to be with them. mayes may have cut their hair. with their lives in the balance, the manhunt is now focused on union county, mississippi, where the girls' mother and sister were found dead on saturday. the bodies of joann bain and her 14-year-old daughter adrienne

were found in the backyard of a home linked to mayes. mayes is said to be a longtime family friend of the bains. tonight authorities have arrested his mother and his ex-wife. they're accused of helping him in the kidnapping. martin savidge joins me now. what's the latest on the search for the two girls? >> i think the biggest development has to be the arrests that have been made -- or at least that were announced today -- of the wife or the ex-wife, depends who you talk to, of adam mayes, who's the prime suspect in this case. she's 31-year-old teresa, and she's being held on $500,000 bond. she apparently has confessed to authorities that she drove, in essence, the getaway car that transported the bain family across state lines from tennessee, where they were abducted, to mississippi. the other person who was arrested was mayes' 65-year-old mother, and she has told authorities that, on the day the bain family disappeared, she saw her son in her yard digging, and, of course, it was in her

yard over the weekend that the shallow graves and the pbodies were found of joann bain and her eldest daughter. >> any leads as to where adam is? >> there are a lot of questions as to where he could be, but right now it seems, just by watching the actions of law enforcement, both on the federal and local level, that they are focused right around guntown. that is where he lived in northern mississippi. it appears they do not think at this point he has gone far away. alerts have been spread across the country, but the primary focus and manpower, and there are several hundred police officers and various federal and local agencies that are involved here, more than a dozen, and they all seem to be focused there in northern mississippi. perhaps he's gone aground somewhere in there. >> and police believe the girls are with him, two of the girls? >> they do, and they believe they're alive. they won't tell us why they think the 8-year-old and the 12-year-old are still alive. they believe their appearances have been altered. they say it's possible their hair has been cut short. it's also possible that their hair has been dyed.

and they also believe that adam mayes has done the same thing to hisself. they have a photograph that authorities put out that show him in a kind of altered perspective. they believe this is part of his way to stay on the run. >> what do we know about the relationship between adam mayes and the bain family? >> this is a relationship -- this is what is so strange about this story. they had a relationship, meaning mayes and the bain family, for years, and a very close one. from all appearances, a very good one. the girls would stay at his place. he would go on trips with the family. it seemed that they got on very well. but something happened in the realm of 11 days ago where this has gone from two close families to something very horrific. >> martin savidge, appreciate the latest. thanks. >> you're welcome. >> bobby booth is adam mayes' sister-in-law. she agreed to talk to us exclusive

exclusively. i spoke to her right before the broadcast. bobby, you say your sister teresa told you over the phone last week that she knew adam had killed joann bain and her daughter and she knew where the bodies were buried? >> that's true. the investigators -- i actually called the investigators on saturday because the statements she were making were concerning me because my sister is -- i don't know how to put this. she's a slow learner, and she's very dependent, and i just felt like the comments she was making were scary. so i called the hardemann county sheriff's department, and they said they were already aware of everything she was saying. so it made no sense to me why it took so long to tell who the bodies were. >> what else did your sister tell you? >> the main thing she told me was just about the bodies, and she did say that adam had threatened to kill her and she

was scared to death. >> if adam is guilty of these crimes, do you have any idea why he'd do this? >> no, i don't. i've known adam for at least 25 years, and he's always been weird and unusual. he's just a different type of person all together, the whole family is, but i never dreamed he would do something like this. >> adam used to date joann bain before he married your sister teresa, and you say that teresa suspected the two were having an affair? >> yes, sir. she suspected that for quite a while, and there's actually question as to my sister has made numerous statements as to the paternity of those children. >> according to the arrest warrant, your sister admitted to helping drive joann and her three daughters from tennessee to mississippi where the two bodies were found. any idea why your sister would do that? >> her attorney called me today,

and my sister had already made the statement that adam had threatened to kill her as well. >> so you're saying that's why she was involved, because she feared for her own life? >> right, yes. he is a very aggressive -- he has beat her several times. very aggressive person. >> i want to show our viewers a picture of your sister with the three daughters of joann bain. were the families close? >> yes. >> what else can you tell us about adam that authorities believe he still has the other two daughters? >> he likes to drink a lot. he does a lot of drugs. he's just a loner. he's never had like a legitimate, steady job. he's never lived out on his own. he's always been with his mom and dad. just -- you know, he didn't finish school.

he's not trustworthy. but like i said, i just never pictured this. >> what's in your gut? what do you think went on here? >> i think there's an affair of some type going on that i just don't know what. >> so you think he was having an affair with joann bain? >> yes. >> is there any explanation, though, why he would kill her or why he'd kill a daughter? >> no. i have no clue why anybody would kill a person. >> do you think adam is the father of the children? did your sister think that adam was the father of the children? >> my sister has stated that she felt he was, and he had made those statements to her, yes. >> so if adam or anyone that knows him or his whereabouts is watching this right now, what would you want to say to him? >> adam, do the right thing and just let the children go.

this has gone on way too far, and we need to figure out what's going on, and it's not fair to the children. >> bobbie, i appreciate you coming forward, and thank you for talking to us. >> thank you. i hope i could help. again, adam, if you're watching or anybody who knows where adam is, get those kids to safety. >> and the man hunt's under way. see serious questions tonight about donations made to disabled american vets. what they got instead of the cash is just baffling.

keeping them honest tonight, an update on a charity with a lot of explaining to do. yesterday we introduced you to americans who felt duped that the money they donated to help disabled veterans never made it to those in need. the charity collected millions of dollars but didn't use a penny to directly benefit the vets or cover the costs of much needed services. instead, this group passed along a baffling array of items, leaving veterans groups to decide how to make use of the items, if at all. drew griffin in the cnn special investigations unit demanded answers. here's part two of what he discovered. >> reporter: over the past three years, thanks to the generosity of lots of americans, a charity called disabled vets foundation has raised more than $55 million, yet according to its official tax forms, not one dime of that money has been used for

direct services to military veterans. >> you're the one from cnn? >> reporter: that's right. meet priscilla, president of the disabled veterans national foundation. we found that a small vfw office in baton rouge, louisiana. >> this is the veterans of foreign wars. i didn't believe you'd do something like that. we've agreed to talk to you. what's the question? thank you so much. >> reporter: none of the money has gone to any veterans. ma'am? while wilkewitz is the former national legislative liaison for the veterans of foreign wars, it's another veterans group she's president of that we wanted to discuss. so the bottom line is you're not going to give me an interview? cnn has been trying for two years to get an interview with the disabled veterans national foundation since we began tracking its fund-raising. we've gotten angry phone calls, angry e-mails, promises of written responses, and now a slammed door. ma'am? but no answers. and when you see just how this charity operates, you'll understand why.

>> we're paying down our startup costs. >> reporter: wilkewitz on the organization's website likes to boast about the charitable gifts her group gives away, and dvnf does give away stuff, stuff, actual veterans groups say, they really don't need. it's called gifts in kind on tax forms. instead of giving away some of the $56 million in cash raised over the past three years, dvnf gives away stuff it got for free. in 2010 the group filed this tax form, claiming it provided more than $838,000 in gifts in kind to u.s. vets, a charity in arizona. u.s. vets showed us what actually was sent. 20 pairs of men's football pants, more than 100 chefs coats, 125 chefs aprons, a needlepoint designed pillowcase, two pages worth of stuff the

director told us we don't need. and take a look at what showed up at the st. benedict's veterans center in birmingham, alabama, where j.d. simpson takes homeless vets off the streets. simpson says the modest shipment included some useful items. 2,300 disaster blankets, good for a couple of days' use, and some cleaning supplies. it also included this. >> they sent us 2,600 bags of cough drops and 2,200 little bottles of sanitizer. and the great thing they sent us is 11,520 bags of coconut m&m's. didn't have a lot of use for 11,520 bags of coconut m&m's. >> reporter: here's what the dvnf posted on their website about the work they're doing in alabama. >> we send truckloads of items these shelters say they need desperately. >> for our veterans who have given so much to our country and now need our help.

>> great sound bite. >> reporter: did they ever ask you what you wanted? >> no. they call and say we've got a truckload coming. >> everything up here on the top is a lot of stuff that came on the last truck. the bandages, the lotion, some hand sanitizer. >> reporter: it's unpacked. >> it's unpacked. >> reporter: because you don't -- >> we really have no use for it. these shelves should be filled with this. >> reporter: food. >> not that. >> reporter: do you ask yourself where's the money? >> i ask myself that after i ask myself what the heck are these people doing stealing from our veterans? because that's what they're doing. i don't care how you look at it. these people have sacrificed for our country, and there's some people out there that are raising money to abuse it, and that just makes me mad. >> reporter: executive director j.d. simpson became even more angry when these showed up. more than 700 pairs of surplus navy dress shoes. >> not a lot of use for these

unless you're going to stand in a personnel inspection. >> reporter: those shoes are now part of the yard sale this group uses to raise real funds for the things they really need, not shoes like these. priscilla wilwewitz wouldn't tell us why she sent homeless vets in alabama shiny new navy surplus shoes. the dvnf wouldn't really tell us anything, but the group and its president continue to tell you, the american public, to keep sending in those donations. >> drew, all the money seems to be going directly to the company raising the funds. is that their business model, simply raise money for themselves? >> reporter: the direct mail company that actually gets those donations is called quadriga arts, and on its website it says it raises funds for more than 500 charities and nonprofits. we got an e-mail that says the company will not discuss any specific client relationships.
