jessica? >> rosa, thank you. and thanks so much for watching. we'll see you again tomorrow night, "ac 360" starts right now. jessica, thanks very much. good evening everyone. breaking news, president obama says there is no doubt chemical weapons were use in syria or the syria regime used them. the question now what is he going to do about it? we'll take a hard look at the tough choices. also tonight, they have run from our cameras. america's worst raising millions, tens of millions they say for dying children but spending next to nothing on them. now finally they are talking their claim and how it adds up. we're keeping them honest. president obama stands where dr. king was centuries ago. we're going to speak to maya angelu joins me for an emotional insparing conversation.

president obama tonight not saying if or when but clearly making the case for a limited strike on syria. not however to take down the regime. he spoke today who asked him the key question off the bat. >> how close are you to authorizing a military strike, and can you assure the american people that by doing so, given iraq and afghanistan that the united states will not get bogged down in yet another war half way around the world? >> well, first of all, i have not made a decision. i have gotten options from our military. i had extensive discussions with the national security team. we do not believe given the delivery system using rockets the opposition could have carried out the attacks, we have concluded that the syrian government, in fact, carried these out and if that's so, then there needs to be international consequences. >> as for what those

consequences might be, he does not foresee an open ended conflict with damascus. the aid he said would be to send a signal. >> we want the regime to understand using chemical weapons against your own people, women, infants, against children that you are not only breaking international norms and standards of decency, but you're also creating a situation where u.s. national interests are affected, and that needs to stop. >> in the meantime, the president is trying to get his diplomatic ducks in a row. the security counsel met informally today. member and ally great britain gearing up drafting a security counsel resolution authorizing necessary measures to protect civilians. russia calling it premature saying there is no proof the assad regime is responsible. un inspectors got back to work

and got a warm welcome. survivors leading the streets greeting the white cars. they will be working for several more days. fred is monitoring developments and joins us now. what is the latest there tonight, fred? >> reporter: well, the latest is actually a report we're trying to confirm now, anderson, that apparently, some key military instillations, the headquarters of the air force and possibly the army seemed to have drastically cut down the staff and seems as though the syrian military might be moving hardware to different locations. the u.n. ambassador for syria was asked about that today and said he wouldn't comment on it but one thing the media report is saying is apparently some of the artillery cannons were moveed to other places and what we're hearing tonight is it's very, very quiet tonight in damascus. there is a lot less shelling

than before. that doesn't confirm or deny the report. there seems to be an erie calm here. >> there is a new twist, the u.n. announced he submitted evidence or claims is evidence from three previous instances where the opposition used chemical weapons. what more do you know about that? >> reporter: well, they say that those are three incidents that happened in the past couple days here around the damascus area, and there is one incident i found interesting because i was actually there when it allegedly happened. it's not joe bar district and happened last saturday, august the 22nd. we were around that area when the syrian military said forces were moving into that district and came under the influence of a chemical. they say some of the forces suffered suffocation signs and had to be brought to the hospital. but i was later shown some soldiers who told me they had actually been subject through these chemical, whatever it was but they didn't show any out ward signs of any sort of suffocation.

nevertheless, the syrian government is saying that it wants the united nations to look at these incidents, as well, and possibly stay in the country longer. of course, delaying any sort of report that would come out, anderson. >> fred, is it known how much longer the u.n. team plans to be on the ground? >> reporter: well, the word that we're getting is about another four days. there are still apparently sites they want to look at. we have to keep in mind on tuesday they weren't able to go out because of security concerns. they did apparently get a lot done today in the northeastern part of damascus which is the place that apparently had the highest death toll last wednesday. there are things they want to work out. it's unclear if they will actually stay. right now, sunday appears to be the cut off date when they plan to leave, anderson. >> stay safe in damascus. thank you. options, few of them good. fran townson and christian am

pour and general hayden run the cia and nsa and a principal with the security consulting firm and zi serves on the boards of firms. christian, what is their reaction to this and in particular britain, which is capable of launching atom make missiles. are they saying they want the u.n. to actually publish a report before they are willing to make a decision whether or not to have military action? >> well the very latest, in fact, from great britain is presiepr precisely that. they said they will not join action against syria until there is a report from the u.n, but it seems like putting the brakes on

momentum. with the draft un resolution under the chapter 7 which means under the use of force mandate and that got nowhere. there was not even a u.n. security counsel meeting today, so that was batted away and also, william hague, the uk foreign minister saying chemical weapons were used. this is a war crime and the world cannot stand by, and he this morning saying any reaction had to come sooner, rather than later, because fit was going to be a lesson, it needed to be a lesson given right now. france where i am, the president said they stand ready to quote punish anyone who made that quote vile decision to use chemical weapons against civilians. it's not clear if they will go with the united states, particularly britain if the u.s. decides to go alone. obviously, the u.s. does not want to wait for the u.n. approval and the consensus it's trying to achieve is amongst

nato forces. >> the u.s. position seems to be waiting for u.n. personnel to get out of this team to finish their investigation, but not actually come up with a published report. >> well, you have to ask yourself, what is it you expect the u.n. to say when they leave, right, on sunday? so first, we know chemical weapons were used, syrians, russians were acknowledging there were chemical weapons used. we got that first piece of the puzzle dealt with. the second is who used them. the president points to the delivery mechanisms to indicate it's the syrian regime. if the rebels had the capability it would have taken to launch this sort of devastation in audition to chemical weapons, they would have over thrown the regime. it's reason to believe say that given the delivery systems, it is the assad regime. we don't know what additional classified information. they are talking about declassifieding information that further indicates it's rat

sheem. you know it's chemical weapons. you got a reasonable basis to think it's the assad regime. was it a commanding control decision from assad himself, an individual unit acting? that's interesting but i don't think it's dispositive because the president is right, if you don't act on this issue, it signals weakness around the world. >> general hayden, do you agree with this the delivery systems with it makes it unlikely if not impossible to use the chemical weapons? >> strongly, anderson. i agree with what fran laid out there. by instinct, this seems to fit the broader pattern and as fran suggested i'm sure there is other information that doesn't contradict that which seems obvious. i think the president was on solid ground when he said what he said this evening. >> this is obviously hugely

unpopular, you look at polls and doesn't seem like anybody obviously wants to be take than kind of action, if in fact, action will be taken. the president tonight in this interview on pbs making the case that potential military action in syria is in the national security interest of the united states. i want to replay that for people. >> when you start talking about chemical weapons in a country that has the largest stockpile of chemical weapons in the world where over time their control over chemical weapons may erode and known tied to terrorist organizations that in the past targeted the united states, then there is a prospect, a possibility in which chemical weapons that can have devastating effects could be directed at us. >> clearly, whether that is true or not, i mean, clearly he is trying to build support for some sort of a strike. >> they would chafe when i say

this but it sounds like the bush doctrine, i need to get them before they can get us, from the president. he said a few important things tonight and that was one of them, trying to explain the rational for why. they violated an international norm. if you left them go unsanctioned, what message would that send. it's in our national security interest not only because of that but the proximity of key allies like turkey and jordan and israel. i don't want or have a long-term engagement. the american people need to hear that. there is still more things to answer. how does he define coalition if the brits want to hold on for several more days? is he willing to go at this alone? is the end goal, if not to topple assad and you can't directly strike the chemical weapons, what is the goal of a military strike? this is the beginning process, by no means the end of explaining this. >> general, does it make sense

to you a strike like this in order just to punish that doesn't change the kak lacue la on the ground? >> no, i don't believe it will change on the ground. this is modern equivalent of a 19th century punitive expedition this is designed to punish bashar al-assad for what he's done and order to convince him not to do it get and yet, the president doesn't want to do anything severe that changes the military situation in syria or threatens the regime. this is a very narrow space that american targets have to navigate to pull this off. >> yeah, everyone stick around, because we got to take a quick break. more with the panel in a minute. we'll talk about it during the commercial break. later, what the charity we identified the worst of the worst has to say for itself. we're keeping them honest. la's known definitely for its traffic,

what i've said is that we have not yet made a decision, but the international norm against the use of chemical weapons needs to be kept in place, and nobody disputes or hardly anybody disputes that chemical weapons were used on a large scale in syria against civilian populations. >> president obama tonight on the pbs news hour making it clear there was a chemical attack last week in the opinion of the u.s. and the assad regime is to blame. letting lawmakers in on the intelligence but not making it public. back with my panel. christian, the idea of using this as a shot across the bow,

has that worked in the past? is that skep to sis m in the people you talk to overseas? >> this has been going on for the past two and a half years and there has been some ten uses of chemical weapons by the assad regime. we had this discuss over the last several months but if you didn't enact your red line then it might happen again and it did last week to a much more catastrophic effect. we were told that would happen by the head of the free syrian army if the red line wasn't met when it -- when these attacks first happened. i spoke to the israeli former head of military intelligence today who said that they were absolutely sure about the intelligence, as you know, a lot of the chatter has been about israeli provided intelligence, intercepted conversations between syrian army commanders about moving around chemical

weapons and the like over the last week in that particular area, and he said he was absolutely sure based on his past experience, that evidence was credible and it was the rashad regime and something dramatic needed to happen to degrade syria's military capability. that would be good for israel and show iran a lesson, as well, that actually when there is a red line over weapons of mass destruction, the international community means that. that's why this is incredibly important on that level, although, as i said, these attacks have happened and they haven't been met with military force so far. but beyond that, you do have this grinding war which has now killed 100,000 people, and there is no attempt to widen any kind of military operation to end that. >> yeah. >> and that is causing a lot of concern around the world. >> general hayden, a, do you buy this is really a national security threat in this conflict

to the united states and that a shot across the bow, to use your term, will work? >> the president made a case of the use of chemical weapons cannot go unnoticed, unresponded to by the international community. anderson, we're trying to use physical destruction to create a mental effect. a mental effect in the minds of bashar al-assad and in directly in the minds of the iranians as we well. if you look at the charter, if this is a short duration assault by stand off weapons air or sea launched cruise missiles. i'm a 39-year air force veteran. the last thing i want to suggest is put american airmen in harm's way. if our message is to show resolve and our response is to use only standoff weapon ps -- weapons for a short period of

time we're sending a mixed message. >> i agree. i said from the beginning, i understand the idea of using stand off weapons -- >> not having u.s. personnel over the air space that could get shot down and captured. >> i understand that as one step in a larger strategy, but i think we're missing the larger strategy. i don't think it's enough to say that you'll detour them with a single short-term multi day strike. i just -- i don't think we have any reason to believe that, and when we've used these stand off assaults before like after these africa bombing, it has a short-term effect but not long-term strategic effect. you want to detour al qaeda, iran from using these weapons, as well. >> before president obama became president of the united states, he kept talking about the importance of any military action that the u.s. engages in being preapproved by the

legislative branch. that's not something it seems will happen in this case. >> he's not the first person to get into the executive branch and have different views about executive powers. he sounds, forgive me, like dick cheney today than senator barack obama in 2007 and 200 8. that's not said as a political shot. the commander and chief has this make these decisions and there is a number of complications. number one, they believe and the executive departments would tell you they can do this in a limited way, he would have to go back to congress. if he called back and wanted a vote, some question whether he could win. those who seen the intelligence seem to be supportive of the administration. i believe in time they could win any vote in congress if they wanted a vote. what would that do to the timeline the president wants? would it do for president for the executive branch here? there is no indication the consultations ramped up considerably in the last 24 to 48 hours, a long list of questions from john boehner tonight from the republican speaker of the house, an

important part of the debate now but every indication administration will do more to brief congress and bring them in the loop but no indication at all that they want a vote and would request one. >> quickly, a dig dill dashboard question does this strike a retaliation threat to american citizens worldwide, and why would they take that risk? >> it does and we have to look down the chess bored here. we're doing this to show resolve. it's not so much the syrians but iranians and hesbalah. if air power is our strategic reach weapon, then the iranian's st strategic weapons. >> thank you. a charity we've been reporting on for the last two nights that collect tens of millions of dollars claiming to grant wishes for dying children. they spend next to nothing on

the wishes. they are bashing our reporting saying we're unfair and unbalanced. the kids wish network. that's the name of it. the kids wish network. they said we twisted the facts. we're standing by the reporting and math. we're keeping them honest ahead. paying tribute to dr. martin luther king jr. his speech that changed history. i'll talk to dr. maya angeluo ahead. how can i help you? oh, you're real? you know i'm real! at discover, we're always here to talk. good, 'cause i don't have time for machines. some companies just don't appreciate the power of conversation! you know, i like you! i like you too! at discover, we treat you like you'd treat you. get the it card and talk to a real person.

haerey, welcome back. keeping them honest tonight. we've been reporting on the kid's wish network, a charity we with the "tampa bay times" and more have identified as the absolute worst charity, the rock bottom when it comes to how little out of each dollar raised helping the sick children it claims to be raising money for. while they were reporting the story, drew griffin and others tried to get an interview with the people that run the network. they didn't want to talk to us. they hid in the offices and lied about being there. now that the report has aired, however, they have a lot to say about us. they posted a letter on their website bashing our reporting and a source. we stand by our investigation and drew will join me in a minute. first, here is a quick recap of what we found. >> hi, drew griffin with cnn. >> hey, drew, nice to see you.

>> nice to see you, can we just ask you some questions about the ratings that have come out -- >> no, i'm sorry, there is so many misleading reports, we asked our attorneys to look into everything and i'm not going to be doing any interviews, thank you. >> reporter: it is perhaps with good reason she and the kids wish network don't wish to answer any questions because they all involve how this tiny charity with a sympathetic name has taken in $127 million of your donations over the last ten years. yet, according to the charity's own tax filings, it has used less than 3% of that money to fulfill the wishes of sick children. you heard right, less than 3%. >> that's not true. we're -- >> reporter: that's what is on the tax return. >> we're very proud of the good work kids wish network has done over the last 15 years. we've helped hundreds of thousands of children, and that's what we're going to continue to do.

>> reporter: year after year kids wish network continues to collect millions of dollars in donations, $22.8 million in one year according to the most recent tax filing. she spent six months as a wish coordinator with kids wish network. how did you do that? you just dipped into the funds that everybody had donated to kids wish network and made it happen, right? >> nope. i would call and i would get people to grant me parts of the wish. >> reporter: she says she would call hotels, airlines, amusement parks, get freebies and rental cars and meals donated while at the same time, at another desk at this same building, someone else was also making calls to get money to pay for the wish. >> we would have one person call to get the actual services donated, while another person is calling to get the money donated for things that i was already getting for free. >> reporter: so if you have this

entire wish, let's say, a trip to disneyland or disneyworld donated, where was this money going? >> that i don't know. i have no idea where that money would go. >> reporter: it turns out, now we do. records reviewed by cnn, the "tampa bay times" and center for investigative reporting show of the $127 million raised in the past ten years, $109 million was paid right back to professional fundraisers. an attorney for the charity told cnn there was nothing illegal, unethical or i'm moral. >> i tweeted asking why they refused to do an on camera interview. we'll do it live so it's unedited, whatever. they always declined. in response on twitter they

accused us of doing unfair. they said we trusted at anderson cooper commitment to fair and balanced reporting, that wasn't the case and attached a link and much of it was devoted to trying to discredit the woman in drew's story, she was fired from the charity, right, drew? >> reporter: right. she says 45 minutes after she complained to the bored of directors of this charity about irregularities on their tax returns, anderson, she was fired. the charity says they were planning on firing her anyway because they say she stole confidential documents. she denies that. they actually convinced the fbi to investigate her. >> by the way, why a charity has confidential, you know, propry terry document ps the world can't see, i don't quite understand. anyway, the fbi investigated after showing up at this woman's house, they didn't find anything, right? >> no, the case was closed by the fbi.

the computers the fbi took in a raid, anderson, were given back to dubay. the sheriff's office in florida investigated and found there is no evidence of criminal wrongdoing and it's important to note that none of the financial information we use in our reporting came from dubay. the "tampa bay times," we used one thing, the charity's own tax returns to determine less than 3% of the kids wish network's cash goes to kids. >> also, i saw them say well, you know, there was a confidential yalty agreement with the employee. why does the charity have confidentiality agreements? are they, the cia? i never signed one with cnn. it's ridiculous. speaking of the 3% number, that was another thing in the response they talked about that they said was unfair, they called it the big lie saying our reporting is flawed and skewed when it comes to the numbers to

that 3%. explain that. >> yeah, they are basically saying we got the math wrong, and that they really spent or spend 56% of their total revenue on program services. let me tell you how that works. program services they include gifts in kind, the gifts donated to them that they in essence are regifting. they also include donations that are really hard to trade like gift in kind medicine sent to africa. they even include as part of program services tell marketers telling you about the programs during the sales pitch. telemarketer explaining to you how good kids wish network is, that is a program service. that's not how we look at it or charity ratings services and watchdog groups look at it. it's very simple. how much cash does this group take in in actual donations, and how much cash does this group actually use to fulfill the wishes of six sick children, our

math is correct. in the last ten years, it's about 2.5% of every dollar actually donated to fulfill a wish, and last year, anderson, in the last reporting year, it was even worse, 1.29 cents of every dollar. that is the math. >> that's -- i mean, it's just unbelievable that is what they define as program services. tell marketers, if someone called you up and said we would like you to donate money and the vast majority of the money we'll spend on telemarketers so we can get more money and get the name of our organization better known, you wouldn't donate money. they are not saying that. i mean, i want to show a picture. this is anna lanzatella, the woman you were trying to get the interview with, she was hiding in the office. someone said she wasn't there and you wait twod hours and got her as she was coming out to her car, running away to her car and

we would love to have her, if you're watching, anna, we would love to have an interview with you, no shouting, no yelling, jus some questions. you have a lot of questions that really, you know, a lot of people donated money to you, more than $100 million over the years as drew said. you got a lot of nerve, we would like to ask you questions live on tv, no editing. you can see the numbers for yourselves. all the tax returns are online. we're putting them online. go to cnn.com/ac 360 and if you got a tip for drew or the cnn investigative team go to cnn slash investigate. drew, again, appreciate the great reporting and david, as well. we'll continue to follow the charity. up next, an inspiring discussion with maya angelou on the 50th anniversary of the march on washington.

"stubborn love" by the lumineers did you i did. email? so what did you think of the house? did you see the school ratings? oh, you're right. hey babe, i got to go. bye daddy! have a good day at school, ok? ...but what about when my parents visit? ok. i just love this one... and it's next to a park. i love it. i love it too. here's our new house... daddy! you're not just looking for a house. you're looking for a place for your life to happen.

history today. president obama stood where 50 years ago martin luther king jr. gave the famous i have a dream speech. the first african american president celebrating his legacy for all those who fought and gave their rights for civil rights. >> because they marched america became more free and fair not just for african americans but women, latinos, asians, catholics, jus, muslims, for gays, americans with disabilities. america changed for you and for me. >> for so many who knew dr. king and fought so long to make his dream a reality, today was very emotional, obviously.

it was for maya angelou, poet, civil rights activist. i spoke to her earlier. for you on this day, what does dr. king's dream mean to you? was the significance of today? >> i think that at once i'm delighted that he had the dream. i'm delighted that if he awakened right now, he could also say, ah, some of my dream has come to pass and see that their african american family in the white house, a man and -- a man and a woman and their children and a grandmother, a black grandmother in the white house, my goodness. at the same time, i think he would be disappointed to hear we have not come any further. so my hope is that the dream, we can awaken from the dream and find that some of the elements of the dream have come to pass.

>> one of the main messages of the organizers of the march 50 years ago was economic equality. that often gets lost in the retelling of this and a. phillip randolph says freedom to use public adominations will mean little to those who can't afford them. >> that's right. >> i read the economic miss, like household income have stayed the same or widened. what do you make of that economic dissparty? >> i think the economic disparity comes larger and deeper and older than the economic disparity. we are all suffering from the -- the ashes of slavery. we all still think or there are people that think black people are not full citizens and do not deserve full salaries, equal to the salaries given -- given to

white workers, and as long as we believe that, we're never going to have party -- when are we going to have fairness? we'll never have an equal distribution of labor and respect and courtesy. we'll never have it. but i do believe that we have to do something about what we believe about each other, and what we really believe about ourselves is imperative that we do so. if we -- if you as a white man and i as a black woman, if you really think that we're different, then there is something terribly wrong. >> it was very interesting to me in the wake of the trayvon martin case and the case of george zimmerman, there was a poll done about the discussions of race that were taking place in the wake of the case and among many white americans, the poll numbers said a lot of white americans felt too much was being made about race, whereas

after can americans, the majority felt this was a discussion that needed to continue and need to be had and not too much was being made about it. it's interesting to me how still to this day, often white america and black america sees things through different lenses. >> absolutely. because we have not come to the decision, which is so important. you can only come to this decision if you have courage. the decision is, i am a human being. nothing human can be alien to me. until we come to that, whites will really think i'm better than -- well they are not so bad but that collal color doesn't c and that hair doesn't straighten out. until blacks and whites see each other as brother and sister, we'll not have parrotty.

>> you do not think that occurred? you don't think there is equality? >> i know there isn't, you know there isn't and everybody that hear you knows there isn't. the only thing is, mr. cooper, people have to develop courage it most important because without courage you can't practice any other thing consistently. you can be anything erratically and in front of the microphone, in front of the camera but to be that thing in your heart, you have to have courage and so i'm afraid that we are lacking in courage. we think we are afraid and fear i'm sorry to say, motivates most of the cruelties in our world. >> president obama in his address today talks about one that pulls in the struggle for equal rights for gay and lesbian americans and women in this country and the rights of other minorities like immigrants, do

you see that move the for equality as part of the civil rights movement? >> yes, sir, mr. cooper, if you think that i can have freedom but you can't because you're short or you're tall or you're gay or fat or thin or pretty or plain, but i can have it because not by anything i've earned, i was just born white. i was born pretty. then you're just stupid. the truth is no one of us can be free until everybody is free, and every one of us needs to say to our children, children this is your world. come out, stand out, earn it. >> what was dr. king like? i mean, you were a friend of his. you spent -- >> thank you for that. >> what was he like? [ laughter ] >> thank you for that. a friend of mine just asked me have you ever been asked a question no one asked and you have just asked me. dr. king, malcolm x and martin

luther king were brothers. they had incredible senses of humor. they could make you laugh in the worst of times, and they did so, and you know, i never trust people who don't laugh who say i'm serious and act as if they put airplane glue on the back of their hands and are serious. i think if you're serious you're boring as hell. understand it's important you're not as much as possible and admit you're the funniest person you've ever met. you have to laugh, admit you're funny, otherwise you die . >> you asked questions that i want to ask you. you wrote can you imagine if we did not have this under gurted hate and race sis skpm sexism and age is m if we were not crippled by that, can you imagine what our country would

be like? how can you answer those questions? can you imagine? >> i'm -- yes, i'm -- i'm brought to weep when i think what my country can be and will be when we develop enough courage to act courageously and with courtesy and respect for each other. just imagine what on earth we -- we wouldn't have to say we're the most powerful country in the world. we will be the most powerful country in the world, not because we have might but because we have right. >> dr. angelou, thank you for talking to me. appreciate it. >> it's my delight, mr. cooper. you have increased my being because of your own courage. you're intellect, your intelligence, two different things and your own courage. thank you very much. >> thank you. she made my day, i don't

know about you. a great conversation. you can see more of it. we had to edit some but we'll put the whole thing online at ac 360.com. she's remarkable. honor to talk to her. a lifetime in prison or death penalty for nadal hassan, what a jury recommended next.
