internet. i mean, there are certain things like banking and other things that one needs to do in order to survive or paying bills. that's something that his parole officer has to sign off on. it is not leer given all of the activity in undertaking in make thing film that he lived up to the terms of that parole. he was taken in yesterday, voluntarily, went in to talk to parole officers in los angeles apparently he may have been taken to another location now but he's out. he's free. and we may be seeing the next -- days to come full-on parole hearing or probation hearing so that his status can be either left as it is, updated, or changed complete. >> i seems the more you investigate the more you look into it and more you find out about this man. he certainly does have a checkered pass. >> oh, he does indeed. the bank fraud from 2010, he did it for several years. he developed several -- 17 different aliases that we can count.

fbi investigators were expected to arrive today at the u.s. consulate in benghazi, libya, where attackers killed a u.s. ambassador and three other americans. but they postponed the trip until the volatile region is safer. senior international correspondent arwa damon went inside the battered compound and shows us firsthand how the attack occurred. >> amid the ash, soot and debris, remnants of a life that was. and what it meant to those stationed here. scrawled on this sheet, libya is so important. traces of bloodstained the walls. what's now a blackened ruin was a pleasant compound in an upscale benghazi neighborhood. libyan officials say tuesday night's attack was planned by islamist militants. and quickly overwhelmed the libyan and american guards.

the compounds' first line of defense, easily breached. according to one of the libyan guards stationed at the gate, armed with only a radio the assault happened simultaneously from lee different directions. and he says that he initially heard chanting growing increasingly louder and then suddenly the gunfire, rocket propelled grenades and other heavy machine gunfire began attacking the compound. he's so terrified of repercussions he's refusing to appear on camera. he says at one point the masked men came over and threatened to kill him at gunpoint for protecting the infidels. he only survived because another individual within their ranks intervened and managed to lead him away. a rocket propelled grenade took out the power. and set the main residence on fire. here the bedroom where u.s. ambassador chris stevens stayed. part of a small suite. we are told this is where the ambassad

ambassador, after being separated from house guards in the chaos, smoke and darkness, died of smoke inhalation. what we are being told is that the ambassador's security detail brought him into this location, shutting the door. trying to ensure his safety. and then we were being told when a situation finally -- the situation finally calmed down the ambassador's body was then taken out through this window by a group of libyans. other consulate staff were evacuated to what was supposed to be a safe house but then it, too, was targeted. that's where would more americans died. libya's government vowed to bring the perpetrators to justice but the country's president touring the site admitted that would be difficult. >> we will do our best. whether we succeed or not -- we expect help from our friends. >> reporter: currently you are not capable, currently can you

not control these groups, currently? >> you are not far from the truth. >> reporter: the question is whether the united states underestimates the threat from hostile groups here. one libyan security official told me that he met with american officials in benghazi three days before the attack took place. he says he warned them not for the first time that security in benghazi was dior eighting. he said, quote, we told the americans the situation was frightening. and it scares us. the ambassador, too, seems to have been aware of the general threat from islamist militants. but no one anticipated the terrible violence that would take his life and the life of three other americans on tuesday night. war damon, cnn, benghazi, libya. so the attack on the benghazi consulate was the deadliest incident this sudden blazing fury towards the united states. but look at this, lebanon, sudan, india, and palestinian

territories, tunisia, yemen, and, of course, egypt, violence and destruction to embassies, american schools and even fast food restaurants, all of this anger exploding from the arab world over an amateur hour video clip posted on the internet. that the government had nothing on do. inwant to ta i want to talk to the professor, former director of middle east studies at john hopkins university. thank you, professor, for joining us. your fascinating opinion piece in "the washington post" is title why is the arab world so easily offended. let's hear it. why is the arab world so easily offended? >> you know, don, i wish i could give you a succinct answer. i think we know what we know. we know anti-americanism is like the standard diet particularly important the young people. when you talk about a world which is angry, when you talk about a world with mass unemployment, political

dictatorships, it is not, you know, not unexpected. we have seen these things before. and anti-americanism is the default of the -- sentiment of the people in the streets so here you have this primitive film, as you rightly describe it, causes protests in 20 countries that countries you -- mention and even ironically all the way to australia. >> so americans are -- let's just say americans are offended by something that is done by the arab world. but we don't take to the streets or blow up embassies because we are offended by it. so what gives here? what -- what do you do? >> i think it is very interesting question. when you take a look -- i think what you have the here, a lot of people talk about it, it is a clash of civilizations, clash of values. in the west, we adhere to freedom of expression. we allow a filmmaker to make a vulgar film. >> if i could interrupt for a second. you said it is a clash of

civilization. when we look at these protests and look at the deaths of four americans, we don't look at that here as civilized. this is uncivilized behavior to us. >> absolutely. when you even to -- to increase, if you will, the pain for the american people as they look at the world, when you realize that benghazi in particular that benghazi was rescued by the united states, ga daflla he ann the people of ben ghazi he was coming, forces were coming to slaughter them, house by house, street by street, alley by alley. when you realize ambassador stevens was a force in rescuing the city of benghazi from the terror of gadhafi, you can see the pain and gratitude and what exactly the vulnerable american position in that torment in the muslim world. >> it is a contradiction. when you have people that are fighting to be from under the fist of a dictator who want democracies.

that's not what a democracy looks like. if you have something that offends you in a democracy you go -- take the proper channels. you don't -- you know, it is not an eye for an eye in a democracy. >> you know, don, it's -- will is a question that's being raised. arab spring and liberation of these countries from the group of the dictators, i understand that. this is a very important question to ask about the harvest of this autumn spring. but let's go back and imagine what the dictators did, mubaraks and gadhafis and so on. 9/11, it came to us, 11 years ago, was really about the harvest of dictatorships. we had a pact with the dictatorships and it would allow the terrorists, turn a blind eye to them so long as they hit america and hit outside the borders of the regimes. >> many people have a hard time believing that it was just this film that caused so much uproar. anyone can make a decision in

this society, anywhere in the west, to do some silly movie or some silly spoof or something, and -- it is going to happen again in the future. what do you do to stir up such -- stop stirring up some violence? a lot of people don't believe it is just a movie. they believe the movie was an excuse. >> it is a pretext. it is an excuse, you are exactly right. the movie was -- it came as a gift, if you will, terrible gift, to these people sitting and waiting to be offended. that's the piece you were kind enough to mention. that i wrote in "the washington post." it is about the eagerness to be offended and twak to the streets and commit an act of violence and waiting for this. so -- soyou go to the street, n this stupid film, ridiculous film, vulgar film, is -- there is even no film. there is just the trailer. so the trailer of a film becomes an excuse as well.

>> i appreciate talking to you. thank you. >> thank you. ank you very much. >> thank you. so how much money in the u.s., in u.s. aid, goes to the middle east and north africa? last year alone, nearly $10 billion in foreign assistance was given to the region bp $2 billion of that to countries in north africa. israel, afghanistan, egypt, are the largest recipients. money goes to everything from peace, security, and government issues to health and economic initiatives. the united states is the world's largest donor of foreign aid. given as -- giving as much as $50 billion every single year. a programming note for you tomorrow on "state of the union," israeli prime minister binyamin netanyahu talks about escalating tensions with iran and strength of the u.s./israeli relationship. exclusive interview with nancy pelosi. that's on reque"state of the un

breast-feeding 101. it is not a class offered at many universities. when one proposer began breast-feeding her child during class it did more than stray from the syllabus. cnn's lisa sylvester reports. >> reporter: the single mom normally leaves her daughter lee at a washington daycare while at work. but on the first day of fall classes, her 11-month-old daughter woke up with a slight fever. >> i didn't have any emergency daycare. and i couldn't bring her to the regular daycare. and so i was faced with this really difficult choice of being there for knew students which to me is as a professional the most important thing for me to do. or -- you know, or taking care of my daughter. and the only way i could do both of those things was to bring my daughter to class. >> during her class of 40 students her daughter began getting fussy. she was hungry. so pine, who says she has nursed

her daughter at other public places, including parks and airplanes, even several locat n locations on campus, breast-fed her daughter during class. >> very discreetly fed her. i don't believe that any part of my breast really was showing. i don't think my nipple was showing. and in any case the most important thing for me was feeding her and, you know, within a couple much minutes she fell asleep. >> reporter: one student was shocked. later tweeting, quote, sex gender and culture professor total feminist, walks in with her baby. midway through class, breast-feeding time. wtf. he spoke exclusively to cnn. >> she could have taken a sick day. stayed with the child. t.a. would have come into class, read the syllabus, gave an explanation as to why she was not there and our class would have level early and no one would have complained. no front lems at you will you will. >> reporter: pine lashed out a reporter in a scathing blog.

she was writing an article about what happened. but pine insists her intention was never to be what she calls a breast-feeding activist. student reaction on american university's campus was mix. >> didn't think she was trying to go look what i can do. she was feeding her child. >> the first day of class, inappropriate. >> i understand it is a natural thing. part of human nature. at the same time we are not used to that. especially as college students who probably never had a child. >> reporter: pine says there is a much larger issue here that there are tough choices, particularly for working mothers. many who grantle with how to balance work demands with a sick child. >> hi bottle fed my daughter, i would not have been attacked for that. if a male professor brought his child to class, the response would be how sweet, how cute. how fatherly of him. whereas as a woman when i do that, you know, i get attack . >> i asked if the situation were the same would she do it again. she says probably not. she just didn't expect this kind of backlash.

she says, though, she's learned people are still squeamish about public breast-feeding and hopes this begins a new conversation about the need for adequate child care options for working parents. lisa sylvester, cnn, washington. >> all right. lisa, we often hear about business owners selling their companies without any care or concern about their employees. this week, cooper made his mark by giving back to the staff that helped make his car dealership successful. cooper gave all 89 employees $1,000 for every year they worked at his dealership. one employee had been there for 46 years. another for 30 years. at a thousand dollar as year, you get the idea. cooper called in to a local radio show to talk about his big gift. >> it was fun. >> i think he is a man that really admires loyalty and i think he had so many employees

that were here for 20, 30, 40-some, almost 50 years and i think he wanted to do something to -- something nice for them. >> the final payout isn't known but howard cooper has certainly made his mark. that is a great boss. new voter i.d. law threatens to take away a woman's vote because she is autistic. capella university understands rough economic times have led to an increase in clinical depression. drug and alcohol abuse is up. and those dealing with grief don't have access to the professional help they need. when you see these issues, do you want to walk away or step up? with a degree in the field of counseling or psychology from

in our 2012 issues series, as farmers across the country deal with the aftermath of a major drought, it is important to moat that some swing states are farm states. so we are taking a look at what president obama and mitt romney want to cut from the federal farm bill. here is cnn's martin savidge. >> reporter: mitt romney launched his campaign on a farm. >> this really is what new hampshire is all about. a day like this on a farm like this. >> reporter: president obama spent lee days on a bus tour in iowa. >> today we are here at mcintosh family farms. >> reporter: most of the crucial swing states are farm states. yet, what have you heard from the candidates regarding issues of farm? >> very little. very little. >> reporter: glen's family has been farming in georgia for

generations. >> i would like to hear the -- they support the programs that would help us in our values. >> reporter: to understand farm politics, a little bit on farming. farming is filled with all kinds of risks. first and foremost, rely on something that's unreliable, the weather. and then you can spend a fortune growing a crop the only harvest and it find out the boughas fal out of the market. federal government helps farmers with crop insurance to help against natural disasters. it is all rolled into something called the farm bill. why does the government subsid ease farming? a long time ago it realized that outsourcing the growing of food to another country wasn't a good idea. in other words, keeping farms going and growing is in the national in. where do the candidates stand on the farm bill? based on budget proposals advanced by obama and paul ryan without it appear both want to

cut it. by nearly the same amount between $32 billion and $33 billion over ten years. it is what they want to cut that makes it interesting. first, there is something else you need to know. years back members of congress that represented real districts, they had a problem. they couldn't get members of congress to represent urban areas interested in supporting any kind of farm legislation. what do you do? that's how food stamps became part of the farm bill. today roughly one of every seven americans use these food stamps. the program is political dynamite. democrats want to limit cuts to food stamps by instead chopping subsidies to farmers. republicans wa it may not be as dire as the campaigns make interest sound. >> depending upon which candidate wins, obviously each party is going to say that there will be dramatic differences. but from an objective look,

standing back, there will be differences quite certainly but i don't think there are -- they are going to be that dramatic. >> reporter: regardless of who wins, cuts are coming. the only question is whether they will be felt by low-income families, mostly in cities, or rural families. down on the farm. martin savidge, cnn, georgia. cnn is taking an in-depth look at this year's drought and major toll it has taken on parts of the u.s. to read more including comparisons between now and the famous dust bowl period, 1930s, logon to cnn.com. remember levar burton of "star trek" and "reading rainbow" fame? it is tonight celebrity in the hot seat. answering questions about his career and life.
