into the tea party uncovers shocking allegations about white supremacists infiltrating the group. juan williams burning up the airways this weekend. tonight a high-profile muslim american who initially thought williams must be fired has now changed her mind. and you've probably been hearing a lot more about elections other than the one in your town. well, how much do you know about who and what's on the ballot where you live? we're going to help you out a lot this hour. good evening, everyone. i'm don lemon. we start tonight with the pentagon and military documents about the iraq wark. wick i leaks dumped thousands of pages of pentagon secrets right into the realm. this is a scene. today's total was nearly six

times leader of the afghanistan war documents in july. they revealed iraqi deaths from 2004 to 2009, most at the hands of other iraqis. both the norm times and the british newspaper "the guardian" have earlier access to the documents. both newspapers say documents show numerous reports of abuse, rape, torture, and murder by iraqi police and soldier routinely ignored by the u.s. military. our chris lawrence has been covered this story for us today at the pentagon. >> one official tell us it makes the u.s. military more vulnerable now than it was even six months ago. he called it a treasure trove of information that describes not only military tactics but gets into information about how the military cultivates its sources. a spokesman says it endangers

the lives. the thing is they claimeded the same thing back in july when wikileaks released information about afghanistan and yet both any toe official and someone here in the pentagon said there is not one case of an afghan being identified by wick i leaks being harmed. are you demonizing wikileaks for no reason? >> i don't think so. remember, this is an organization that induces people to break the law, leak classified information, and then exposes that information to the world for everyone to potentially take advantage of, including our enemies, those we're currently fighting and those we may one day be in conflict with. >> his argument is now china or iran now have half a million classified documents in which to build a manual on how to fight the u.s. military.

the counterargument to that is would the u.s. military even be using the same tactics say five, ten years down the road, especially in it's on a different battle field? now, either way the release does have the potential to damage the trust with political partners in iraq, them now knowing that this classified information leaked out. don? >> all right, chris. thank you very much. one of the documents appears to support the claim that the iranian crossed the iraqi border to arrest three american hikers last year. two of those hikers are still in iranian custody. the third was released last month. it says, quote, regarding reports of the death squads or pressuring and arresting iraqi citizens and more, we confirm that the prime minister is the general manager of all security forces who carry out their duties to arrest or punished when ordered by the judiciary, but not on a sectarian or

partisan basis. all right. it is just ten days now until we head to the polls on election day. a very busy political weekend as we come to the final stretch. cnn senior political editor mark preston is standing by for us tonight. you're in tampa for the florida senator debate tomorrow but we'll talk more about that with our candy crowley. i want to talk about that. you've got president obama, sarah palin all crisscrossing the country. when is the last time the president slept in the white house? >> reporter: he was in minnesota yesterday. he hasn't been in the white house since wednesday. made a vital trip out west to key states. washington state, a very key senate race and, of course, the all-important state of california where not only is there a governor's race but a senate race and then, of course, he was in nevada today trying to

help our senate majority leader harry reid. he heads home tonight. he'll spend a couple of nights in the white house. as we look forward heading into election day, here are the key three states he will actually have an impact in. he'll be in connecticut at the end of the week, pennsylvania at the end of the week, and he'll alsoin illinois where he's going to be trying to save the senate asset that he once held. right now that is a toss-up. he will be on the daley show. >> let me ask you. how important are these names, do either president obama or sarah palin have the coattails to carry the candidates into office? >> reporter: well, president obama certainly had the coat tails in 2008 and the states he's going through right now are specific lick being targeted by democrats. in nevada he got a huge crowd for harry reid.

when he got there, the crowd shouted obama, obama, obama. he turned around and said harry, harry, harry. sarah, the same thing. she's going into states where candidates really want her. and where candidates do not want to appear with her because she has high negatives they still want her in the state because she can drive up the real conservative activists. she can get them fired up, and it's all about the enthusiasm gap as we head into election day. >> why don't we listen to the president and sarah palin at their rallies today. >> it looks like you're kind of fired up. [ cheers and applause ] >> and i need you fired up because in just ten days you have the chance not just to set the direction of the state but also help determine the direction of this country, not just for the next two years but the next five years, the next ten years, the next 20 years. and just like you did in 2008, you have the chance to defy the

conventional wisdom. >> friends, the president is now telling us that a we're not thinking straight because of all the fear and frustration that americans have. he claims facts, science, and arguments aren't winning the day because we're not thinking straight, quote/unkwoechlt well, you know, mr. president, you've got it right on one point there. we are afraid knowing that your economic policies are driving us off a cliff. >> so, mark, the president trying to tlirng 2010 election to his historic win in 2008 and sarah palin seeming to disagree with everything he's done since then, right? >> reporter: shocker, right? shocker that she would say that. she is right. it's all down to the economy. you see sarah palin trying to get republicans fired up saying it's the gop that has the right answers. at the same time you have president obama.

we actually didn't hear it right there. but he's linking into the same message we've heard over and over again. i was handed a bad economy. you elected me into office in 2008. i need the right people in congress to help me to continue fighting for you, and that's the message we're going to hear from president obama. and, of course, the alternate message is the message we going to hear from sarah palin in these closing days. don? >> mark preston. appreciate it. an important conversation is just ahead here that will take you inside the tea party. an investigation by "essence" magazine argues that the tea party is providing cover for right white hate groups. also in the news npr under fire for firing juan williams. should he get his job back? we'll talk about that. it's time for you to get involved. check us out on twitter or facebook. sorry i'm late fellas.

[ evan ] ah it's cool. ah... ah. ah. ah. ah. ah. ah. ah. ah. ah! ah! whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, what is that? how come my dap wasn't like that? huh? it's just an "us" thing. yeah, it's a little something we do. who else is in this so-called "us"? man, i don't know. there's a lot of us. [ chuckles ] ask your friends what it's like to be part of a group that's 40 million strong. state farm insures more drivers than geico and progressive combined. it's no surprise, with so many ways to save and discounts of up to 40%. so call an agent at 1-800-state-farm or go online. that advertise flights for 25,000 miles? but when you call... let me check. oh fudge, nothing without a big miles upcharge. it's either pay their miles upcharges or connect through mooseneck!

all right. i want you to pay very special attention to this next segment because it's going to be a bit provocative and i'm sure people will talk about it. there are are just ten days until midterm election. the tea party is stirring up deep emotions all across the country. a provocative article in "essence" magazine makes a claim that the tea party is being infiltrated by white sue prem are cysts and other hate groups. with us from los angeles cnn political producer travis. so i want to start with you, angela. there is a distinction because you don't want to say that the people inside of the tea party

are -- >> right. what is the article? >> so our reporter spent six months travels around the country and going to various white supremacist meetings, gathering agag gathering agag gatherings to take a pulse. they understand that in order to be a part of the tea party conversation which is now the national conversation, they have got to tone down their hate message in order drn so that the tea party does not turn against them because the tea party doesn't want to be painted with the hate group brush because they know they'll be discredited immediately. >> you're saying because of the outrage. >> exactly. >> that some of these groups find fertile ground here. >> that's right. it's interesting they did a study that shows members of the tea party are 25% more likely to have feelings about race that show that african-americans are untrustworthy, are lazy, and are, you know, more likely to be

involved in criminal activity, so the white supremacist groups are seeing an entry point to allow them to be a part of that conversation. >> and you got that story. yo u ha to hire journalists, right? >> we did. we had to hire journalists. we're an african-american publication. we couldn't send in our writers. it's a fascinating journey. >> are people of the tea party well aware of this? >> we do seem to see they're aware of it. the tea party is certainly interested in getting their numbers up. but, again, it's a very delicate dance because they don't want to be painted with a hate brush because again it will discredit their message immediately. >> so, shannon, you spent a lot of time with the tea party. you have an hour-long documentary coming up next weekend. what is your feeling on the reporting that "essence" magazine is doing? >> my experience is you see

fringe benefits when you travel with them. they're not pervasive. they are not across the board. i mean by and large most of the people there that i run into, they're mothers and fathers, doctors, lawyers, policemen or what have you, by and large, i would say that the masses, the most of them, are not a part of these fringe groups or fringe elements but you absolutely see some of these groups there. gist came back from ohio, an event in ohio, some other places i've travelled to across colorado following the tea party movement. so they are there. it's just a question of how pervasive, how many, and in terms of this point of infiltration how deeply they -- >> somebody ask eed angela if they're aware. when they're there an they're aware do they denounce these people? tell them to get out?

>> it's not a matter of them denouncing it to me privately. they've denounced them publicly. the chairperson went onto "the view," she said if you're racist and want to be part of this movement, we don't. they don't have leaders. understand that. what about the people there? what someone says aet the top doesn't always go down to the bottom. >> trickle down. >> yeah. >> sure. let me give you an anecdotal example. i was following sarah palin at a huge tea party session in april. there was one guy there. he was holding up a sign that -- and i'm quoting here. it said, quote, white people are pissed. i went to talk to him about what it was about but a group of people surrounded him, said why

are you here, what is it for and what is it about? it turns out this guy was heckling people there. >> so they wanted to shut him down. >> they shut him down. >> it's interesting. >> it's not that they wanted to shut him down. they shut him down. >> the groups are sophisticated and they understand they can't come out of the closet in full sheet regalia and go to the events. even when you go to their websites, they actually give tips on telling their members how to try to infiltrate tea party organizations and you have to tone down the rhetoric, you can't hand out kkk flyers. >> so give us the bottom line here. what's the risk? >> well, think there's a significant risk. when you look at organizations like the southern poverty law center which has been tracking the significant growth in the development of not only new hate

groups but also increased enrollment in existing groups there's certainly something bubbling up against the surface and are they going to be successful in their quest to infiltrate the tea party. >> andite necessary the november issue. >> yes. >> thank you very much. fascinating article. thanks to shannon travis out west. i want to say shannon will be anchoring a special document mentry called "boiling point:inside the tea party" next saturday. he has high hopes for college but fred isn't sure how he's going to pay for it. one thing he does know, a degree will put him in debt. the black church is hoping to change that.

you know, this week we have been reporting on how the black church has been helping african-americans survive the worst financial crisis since the

great depression. in this segment our soledad o'brien introduces us to a young man who was inspired to go to college by the youth minister at his new jersey church. two problems, he has only average grades and no money. >> this just seemed like a good place where you could study, you could think. >> reporter: fred dreams of becoming somebody. >> i pray for his audition and pray that you would give him the strength. >> reporter: first he mutt guest into college. then he must find the money to pay for it. >> stay focused and completely block everybody out. >> reporter: today he's auditioning to get into the drama program at cane university in new jersey. >> now i have to prove to them and to myself that i am good enough to be here. >> deliver it now. >> yeah. >> pretty much. >> yeah. good luck. it's 3:00. i've given you an extra 15 minutes to do whatever all you

actors do, center. >> all right. >> okay. are you ready? >> yeah. thank you. good afternoon. >> whenever you're ready. >> okay. >> okay? >> i hate you all. you know that? you know that? yeah you do because now you turned your heads and you ain't looking at me no more. >> while fred acts, christy adams waits. christy is the 28-year-old youth minister at buster soarie's church. she has a masters from divinity at princeton seminary. believe he needs most valg and if i wasn't here or anybody here pushing him, then i think he would be a lot more nervous and i think he would probably choke.

>> has he choked before? >> yes. >> my name is frederick fill p junior. >> he really wants to go to college but it will likely cost him tens of thousands of dollars so christy adams has entered fred in an ncaap acting competition. if he make this round an makes it to the nationals, the grand prize is $2,000. >> fighting a financial crisis from the pulpit. the black church has fought for civil and human rights. now it's waging a war on debt. soledad o'brien's "almighty debt kwn a black in america special. ". does that make him a bigot. we'll ask two muslims what they think right after the break.

he used to -- used to host "the talk of the nation." but this week juan williams took on the title himself. he made comments that some think are bigoted against muslims. now there are those who say national public radio is wrong. here's more from park parker & spitzer. >> this is no first amendment issue. he can say what he wants. the government isn't coming in and say you can't speak this, you're not going to be imprisoned for saying this. the bottom line is an employer is saying we don't want to be associated with you for this reason. now, getting back to your question about why would npr have fired him, i think it's not just a wrong move on npr's move it's a really bad strategic move

for npr. this is a media entity for years that has been dogged by allegations of being too liberal so you think they would be at least particularly sensitive to making decisions that will allow them to be targets. >> all right. let's get some perspective tonight from the muslim community. he's now performing on a tour entitled "brown and friendly," and ava brown is also muslim and she joins us via skype from ohio. i understand that you've change yourd mund in the last 24 hours about the firing of juan williams. before you answer, let's listen to how this all started and then get your reasons i why you change your mind. let's listen. >> when i get on a plane, i've got to tell you if i see people in muslim garb and they're i'd fig themselves first and

foremost ausmus limbs, i get worried. i get nervous. >> why did you change your mind? at first you said he should be fired. then you said npr was wrong? >> without giving it an gettive look, i heard the sound bite most people heard. it's somewhat offensive for him to assume that all -- i read that as an offensive statement but when i took the time to look it into, read the whole transcript, watch the whole interview, in fact, mr. williams was basically trying tell bill o'reilly to not paint muslims with a broad brush stroke saying that he was cknowledging that he has some fierce. he's not alone in that. however irrational they may be, they're real fears and he's trying to say to bill o'reilly you have to be accountable for when you make broad statements like muslims are terrorists.

>> zeda, i want to tell you that a lot of people do. they speak too calmly and will say, you know, don, i have that fear. i'm looking at you as you nod your head. is it okay for him to say that out loud? >> yeah, i think -- i think that it is. i think that he -- the good thing is he was expressing an opinion and i think he was expressing his opinion, his feelings like that when he sees somebody on an airplane. first of all if they're dressed in muslim garb, i'm not afraid of them. i'm afraid of the guys dressed up in yankee ball caps saying, hey, buddy, the yankees are going to win. this is out there. thing juan was putting it there as well. think the problem is -- the bigger problem is there's been

discrimination because of this. there was an airplane with some imams praying before they got on the plane and the pilot wouldn't let them on the plane because he was afraid of something happens. airtran, there was a muslim family walking down the i'll talking about the safest place -- >> the question is by firing him did npr abruptly end the dialogue that could have taken place or did they in maybe some strange way done the public a favor or muslims a favor by bringing more to the light of the situation. >> i'm hoping there's more opportunity and the teachable moment isn't lost. i think the npr should have given him a chance to explain himself more. it was a quick phone call. i think he should have had a chance to explain, you know, his fears and explain this was a fear and the context which people seem to forget. hopefully, you know, in fact, think there is an opportunity because now he's sitting at the

news desk for fox news and it would be even more informative for someone at that station in particular to say, hey, let's talk about this. why i have these fears and let's talk about why i have them and let's have that honest dialogue. >> let's hear from npr and then we'll continue our conversation. play it. >> if you want to be a political activist, you may not also be a reporter or news analyst for npr. this is very well understood by the lion's share of our staff and by journalists all over the country and all over the world. >> so, moz, think zeda brings up a very good point where she listened to the entire context of it. i said, let's not -- let's let the sound bite play if we can. we don't have the entirety on this show to play the full thing but in some way does she have some point by playing that sound bite, by just initially hearing

people jump to conclusions you feel that maybe npr did the same thing? >> absolutely. think the problem that we have in this day and age is people look at the sound bite. they make up their mind right from -- they hear something go, i'm offended, that's it. they don't give the full review. i actually watched the full segment. if anything bill o'reilly say a lot more, you know, bigoted racist comments which is, you know, to be expected. but i watched the segment. in that segment bill o'reilly said that people are saying the terrorists are just a few and he goes, no, terrorists -- there's full countries of terrorists. he said iran, pakistan and afghanistan. so what bill o'reilly is saying right there is there's countries of terrorists and the problem with what bill o'reilly says is that subconsciously when people hear that, it becomes easier and easier for people to demonize a whole country. and if there's ever a time when there's discrimination or there's a buildup toward war or something, then it's easier for

people to support going to war and bombing a country because, you know, they've heard it over and over and over again that iran, pakistan and afghanistan are countries of terrorists. what he said was a lot more inflaming than what juan williams said. >> listen. it's going to have to be the end of this. i could talk about this all evening. it's a fantastic discussion about talking about first amendment rights and jumping to conclusions. it's very fascinating. thaegts to you both. >> thanks, don. >> there's a political battle brewing in florida as the senate candidates prepare to face off. and who is running in your district? don't know, do you? a lot of you don't. cnn can help you. our website gives you the tools to make a decision on election day. problem is they limit the choice of etfs to what makes financial sense to them. td ameritrade doesn't limit you to one brand of etfs... they offer more than 100...
