megyn: is in german, but it says, will you marry me? apparently, she said yes. gregg: why were we showing the white house? i am lost. jon: we begin with a fox news alert. the white house is taking direct control of the questioning of high-value terror suspects. president obama is putting together a new unit responsible for interrogation of high-value detainee's. good morning, everyone. the announcement comes on the same day the cia inspector

general is set to release a report on harsh interrogation tactics used during the previous administration. bill sammon is our acting washington bureau chief. what else does the establishment of this new unit accomplished, bill? >> it does not accomplish a lot in terms of specific changes to interrogation techniques. i think what it accomplishes is it changes the controlling of those interrogations' from the cia to the fbi, and more specifically, to put the white house in direct control of interrogations' now. the white house has formed an elite unit of interrogators from different agencies. they will have direct control over it. it is more an assertion of executive authority over this controversial practice. jon: there are supposed to be

new guidelines in place as to whether sleep deprivation will be allowed and things like playing of loud music. >> this kind of stuff -- remember during the campaign last year when candidate john mccain was coming out against torture and everyone was talking about we have to go back to the army field manual, this is essentially the same thing. not only do you have this report coming out that the white house is forming this elite team and also the cia inspector general coming out to detail some of the harsh interrogation practices that were allegedly used over the past few years, but also, you have a report that the attorney general eric holder may go ahead and prosecute some of the cia operatives. it strikes me as more than incidental that all this trouble with obama's domestic agenda, whether it is his approval ratings, health care, grabbing

up the deficit, all of a sudden he goes on vacation and national security issues help him a little bit. jon: it seems like a lot of what the administration is talking about doing is softening the approach to national security that was taken by the budget ministration. there is discussion about reading miranda rights to terror suspects -- maybe not in all cases, but in some. >> that is a great point. i think what is happening there is, the president is throwing a bone to the left by resurrecting this idea of, we're going to treat terror suspects properly. we are going to prosecute cia agents. the left is upset with them for equivocating over whether to abandon the public option or the government run option in health care reform. it has taken a lot of abuse from liberals over the weeks because he is agreeing to compromise on

health care. i think this is a way to reenergize his liberal base by saying we are still going to get those cia guys and we are going to be more fair to the terror suspects. jon: thank you. a lot of people are weighing in on this issue. the question is, should the justice department reopened and possibly prosecuted cases of alleged mistreatment by the cia interrogators? here is the result so far. 5% of you say yes. it is an unscientific poll. you can cast your vote. make sure to let us know what you think. jane: there will be no cost of living adjustment to your social security checks. that is the first time that has happened in more than 30 years. by law, benefits cannot go down, but what we're doing is having the same effect. why is this happening?

>> inflation is at a negative this year. energy costs have gone down in the past year. due to negative inflation, they say that there is no need for a cost of living increase. the issues are if you have a medicare prescription drug plan, your premiums are going to go up. there are also concerns about health care costs going up and jane: how unusual is this, that benefits will be going up -- will not be going up? >> since 1975 when they started doing automatic increases, it has never happened. for people who live on a fixed income, be it elderly or people who depend on social security checks, this is a great cause of concern. advocates for the elderly say that they depend on this. jane: so much concern already about, they're working on

capitol hill to reform health care. >> we talked to a republican member of the house who has gotten an earful from his constituents. here's what he had to say on this subject. >> there is going to be a lot of restraint -- a lot of strain on the elderly people. they have counted on social security as part of that retirement that they have earned over a lifetime. >> they are anxious about what this will mean for elderly americans who depend so much on social security benefits. jane: we wanted it to the breaking news desk. it is out of miami. >> we are watching a pool rescue going on. the miami fire department is saying that a little girl's mother was holding her in the pool. somehow or another, the pool drained enough so that the

girl's head would be above the water level. they are not sure if she is stuck in part of the pool, the drain, or what. they are trying to chip away forom the pavement. rescue helicopters are standing by. this is really tough to watch. i have had my eyes on this thing for a few minutes. they drained the pool to just above her head level. she can get some air, as much as they can. she is about three years old. the young child is stock in the drain. i am listening in to the traffic coming from the chopper. there is an air rescue chopper on the scene. they have quite a close-up shot on this. it is so hard to say.

so, where all those men are, there is a the nobody stuck with her arm just stuck in the drain. it has been over an hour. look at the guy using the drill in the middle of this to try to chop up the cement to get her out. this is just unbelievable. i have never seen anything like this. apparently neither have they. i'm going to make some phone calls on this. i tried to reach people on this. it was kind of hard. they are all at the scene. this takes every type of rescue that you can imagine. they have guys on their who obviously can use tools. they have respiratory experts there. once they get her out, they're very concerned about the compression of her up against the cement wall. i will keep my eyes on it and report to you the very latest jon: she is able to breed? >> yes.

they lower the water level. you have to keep her up so that she can breeze. it is very frightening. jon: thank you. let's check on wall street right now the big board is up around 80 points right now prefer not all the news is good. generally has more from the fox business network. >> hello. the markets are continuing the gains that they saw last week. one of the items that helped the market going forward or comments from fed chairman ben bernanke who said that the economic recovery was upon us. those optimistic comments helped the rally overseas. here is where it gets a little questionable. we at four bank failures over the weekend. the strongest sector is the financials. you have some very prominent bank analysts calling for up to 300 more banks to fail before the end of this crisis. there are a lot of mixed opinions for which way the

market and the economy is heading. jon: supposedly the risk of a double-dip recession is rising now. can you explain that? what does that mean? >> it is a whiplash in the wrong way. suddenly you get pulled back. nouriel roubini is a little bit more negative about the u.s. economy. he says that what you're going to see is a recovery that is shaped more like a w. businesses start to hire again and inventories start to gain some more. remember, all the businesses that cut jobs in inventory so low in order to survive that now they have to build them back up. what he is really concerned about is that the costs for food and energy, oil, for example, is

outpacing the fundamentals of this economy. what happens when those prices go up? the prices for all of us go up as well. that is why he believes we are going to see recovery start and then get pulled back into recession. jon: let's hope that he is wrong. jane: we have been telling you about this reality show contestant who was on the wroru. in real life, he married a model a few days after meeting her in las vegas. she was found murdered. he was wanted. now he is dead this hour, there are new questions around may -- who may have helped him in the days around critercrime. ..xn0]úgswn

the republican national committee is releasing what it is calling a seniors' health care bill of rights. we will be getting to details on that in just a bit. on the democratic side, they are still not in agreement on how best to reform the system. democratic senator charles schumer says that is not feasible. most americans do not want a single payer system run by the government. just 32% of those are in favor of it. 57% are opposed. a democratic congressman joins us now. we should point out -- what we're talking about a single payer system, that is different from what is called the public option. the public option is one that would be thrown into the mix. you could theoretically make that your choice. you are talking about a fully

government-run system. why do you keep pushing it when it seems so obviously that the american people are against it? quote the american people like it a great deal. frankly, the republicans just put out a document saying that we have to expand medicare. let's call it what it is. all of us have a single payer plan. either we pay the insurance companies or with a the dr directly or we get paid for by medicare and medicaid. if you believe that the public option that your grandfather has or your spouse has is a pretty good plan and it should be for people who are 55 rather than 65, you understand the risk. jane: senator schumer said that this would never happen. >> it is not limiting anyone's choices. you still get to go to your

doctor. most americans will not even notice. right now, there bill gets paid for by the insurance company. most americans would not even notice it. it would be taking on the insurance industry. that takes about $250 billion each year in overhead and profit and put it in their pockets. what are we getting for that money? are we getting better service? are we not getting cut off for pre-existing conditions? if you think medicare works then i am saying, just extended to more americans. jane: let's just put up "fortune magazine" analyzing the profit margins by industry. they put the health care industry at 35. does that fly in the face of the argument out there that these

insurance companies are ripping everybody off? >> it is not ripping anybody off. the profit number goes up and down depending on who you talk to. the question is, why should we the taxpayers pay for their advertisements, their bonuses, their vacation? why are we paying for that? jane: their businesses. >> the question is, what are they giving back in return? are they doing any checkups or operations? their objective is to pay out as little as possible as they can. that is the profit motive. i do not have a problem with that. the question is, why do we have hit when we have the medicare system that has no profitability and provides pretty good care? what are we getting in return for all that money? jane: congressman, thank you for being here. jon: the pentagon is conducting a full review of how many troops

are needed to keep the taliban under control and afghanistan. u.s. commanders say that the situation on the ground is getting worse. the president obama have the political support needed to change things? medicare.

[captioning made possible by fox news channel] captioned by the national captioning institute --www.ncicap.org-- jon: a dramatic ending to an international manhunt. reality show contestant ryan jenkin hass found dead in a hotel of an apparent suicide. police have charged him with the gruesome murder of his ex-wife. what happened in canada? what did investigators find? >> it was yesterday afternoon in a small town outside of vancouver.

the man had been in a motel room for about three days. he did not check out. he discovered the body of ryan jenkins in the room. apparently, he had hanged himself with a belt on the coat rack there. there is no word if anyone helped him. they confirmed through fingerprints that it was him. this part of the story is over. jon: what about california? water police they're saying? >> number one, they would have liked to have prosecuted him. this woman was married to him for a brief time. her fingers were cut off. her teeth were pulled in an effort to hide her identity. she was identity -- she was identified because of a serial number on breast implants.

if someone aided him in evading capture, which was very likely because across from the united states into canada on detected, that personal is also a suspect to prosecution. there is a very expensive mercedes that the victim's own. it was very distinctive. it had a blacktop. that is still missing. somebody might be driving that around. jon: thank you. jane: there is more on a breaking story out of florida. >> we have learned that her arm is up to the elbow. right as we talk about it, they pull her out. she has been their stock. she has been stuck for more than an hour. they have her wrapped up like that to protect her from going into shock. they had a fire rescue helicopter standing by. you will not be able to hear

that all the way from the helicopter. we have been watching this scene for more than an hour. you know those drains? kids are very attracted to them in swimming pools because they make noise. she stuck her hand in their apparently. her mother had to scooper up to keep her head up. even after they drink it, it was just below her chin. that water looked to have been five or 6 feet deep. she has her hands stuck in that drain. they had to take hydra -- hydraulic tools to chip away from the cement to finally free her. i was clutching my heart as i was watching this, just praying that this was going to come out ok. what a sigh of relief for us watching it. can you imagine and, having her mother trying to hold her up?

they had to put out a canopy because it was so hot down there. a good ending. jane: it looks like she's going to be ok. let us know if you learn anything else. jon: it is nice to have a happy ending. a blunt warning from the pentagon. america's top military commander says that the situation on the ground is going down hill there. president obama has ordered 68,000 american troops in afghanistan by the end of the year. he will face a difficult political choices commanders ask for more troops to try to keep the taliban in check. the taliban is getting stronger according to admiral mike mullen. that is harder for the security situation to get under control. >> the taliban insurgency has gotten more sophisticated.

jon: joining us now is the director of communications for the center for defense studies. we have been sending all of these extra troops to the -- to afghanistan. the obama administration asked for additional troops. how can this situation be getting worse? >> i think that is an overstatement i think the brakes have been put on. let's look at the recent success of the election in afghanistan. jon: you disagree with what the chairman of the joint chiefs said? >> i think we have had some successes. he is talking about long-term trends, which clearly we have to monitor and be worried about. we did have a successful set of elections. when the administration goes in to ask for more troops, we have to give the current commander police six months to get control

the situation. we do not have that yet. what we need to look at here is the whole picture. are we implying the correct strategy? i have talked to conservative families. there is no doubt that we want to win this. the question is the strategy. do we employ a vietnam tight strategy? do we focus on the real centers of gravity which are the taliban, a transnational threat? pakistan is something that we have to consider. thereafter the nuclear program in pakistan. there have been documented attempts to get control of nuclear weapons. we must always remember that afghanistan is linked to pakistan in this respect. jon: some of the nato troops said that one of the problem is that they do not know who the taliban are. >> absolutely valid.

there are essentially three flavors of taliban. the black, the white, the gray. the white are the ones who have joined because they had no other choice. what we need to do is look at centers of gravity. where are they setting up and doing this from? we need to go after their leadership. a lot of those leaders are in pakistan. the pakistanis have been much better about letting us get into those safe havens. we have to work with them to get to the source of the center of gravity. it is not going to happen overnight. i'm not sure if we need more troops to do that. we have to avoid having the appearance of an army of occupation. jane: bill remains a very dangerous storm for swimmers and

boaters. a new storm that could be threatening quite soon.

so now we've turned her toffee into a business. my goal was to take an idea and make it happen. i'm janet long and i formed my toffee company through legalzoom. i never really thought i would make money doing what i love. robert shapiro: we created legalzoom to help people start their business and launch their dreams. go to legalzoom.com today and make your business dream a reality. at legalzoom.com we put the law on your side. when morning comes in the middle of the night... rooster crow. ...it affects your entire day. to get a good night's sleep, try 2-layer ambien cr. the first layer dissolves quickly to help you fall asleep. and unlike other sleep aids, a second dissolves slowly to help you stay asleep. when taking ambien cr, don't drive or operate machinery. sleepwalking, and eating or driving while not fully awake with memory loss for the event as well as

abnormal behaviors such as being more outgoing or aggressive than normal, confusion, agitation and halluciations may occur. don't take it with alcohol as it may increase these behaviors. allergic reactions such as shortness of breath, swelling of your tongue or throat may occur and in rare cases may be fatal. side effects may include next-day drowsiness, dizziness, and headache. in patients with depression, worsening of depression, including risk of suicide may occur. if you experience any of these behaviors or reactions contact your doctor immediately. wake up ready for your day-ask your healthcare provider for 2-layer ambien cr. jane: the justice department is set to release a top-secret report on methods used by the cia during the interrogation of what are called high-value terrorist suspects. the report is being declassified and is said to reveal how interrogators conducted a mock executions, among other things.

the former director of the cia is warning that releasing this report will have very dire consequences. let's get to our national correspondent. she is outside of the department of justice. what have you been able to confirm before this report is released? >> there will be information about mock executions, particularly with the planner of the uss coral attack. just to remind people, this was such a horrendous attack that many of the families had to bury their sons on multiple occasions. the mock executions included holding a gun close to his head as well as a power drill. a separate circumstance, a detainee turned a gun being fired. this was clearly an effort to intimidate the man into providing information. we expect documents that show

the types of intelligence gathered and whether this was useful or actionable intelligence. jane: what has been the response from the intelligence community? >> based on the conversations i have had over the weekend in an interview we did with the former cia director, there has been real release -- real resistance to release of this document. the former cia director believes that it will be highly destructive to his reputation. he said first and perhaps foremost, when we try to convince countries overseas to provide intelligence to the u.s. and allow us to use their resources, they will be highly reluctant because it will be concerned that this information will make it into the public domain, which will be what happens this afternoon for those people who are career people at the intelligence agency, he argued that he did not feel that the government had their back and this will be in a deterrence to sodomize -- to the

intelligence community. that they understand it will create a work force that will be timid and risk averse. this is the very posture that led to such a disastrous consequence prior to 9/11. jane: thank you, catherine. jon: the obama administration finds itself wrapped up in the battle for how we pay for health care in this country. there's a lot more at stake than just this one issue. the president calls this his top domestic priority. the controversy seems to be chipping away at his popularity. right now according to today's daily tracking poll, only 28% of those surveyed strongly approve of the president. 40% strongly disapproved. joining me now is a former speechwriter for vice president al gore.

the president did not release of mid a plan to congress. he led congress crafted because he supposedly did not make -- make the mistake that the clintons did and submitting it without congressional input. do you think that is a mistake? >> i do not know if it is right to be reacting to the polls right now. no baseball player wants to be nicknamed mr. august. what is going on right now is probably not the most important thing. there is always something that is a little bit risky when you let congress gets -- get its hands into things. there are a lot of congressmen trying to represent their districts. but i think we're going to see president obama do is pull this back to why it is necessary. while i think that congress has

had its say and congress will pass its bill, we will see the president pull it back. jon: let me ask you this. there was a quote from the financial times yesterday the selling of health-care reform has been marked from the start by in decision, both on substance and on tactics, and by an extraordinary lack of clarity. it does seem that there is this push for health-care reform and yet there are the least three bills in the house and one under consideration in the senate. >> the president is not going to get his momentum back on health care if he continues down the path. it is going to ultimately lead to a single payer government system. yesterday, someone said that the

death manual has not been used. documents show that it was used as of june and july. turn off yourself phone. jon: the confusion about what is in this plan, it seems like the president is trying to sell a plan that has not been written yet. >> he is selling america on the need for overall reform. the details are falling into place in many ways. as people hear the details and begin to see the details, that is one thing that is important. the other thing that is important is to see the need. even people who are happy with their health care plan -- what is -- to change this debate is for people happy with their healthcare see the need for health-care reform. that is when this thing is really going to take off. democrats have big majorities in the house and senate. reform is going to happen.

something is going to happen. the question is, what exactly is that going to look like? president obama selling the overall need and the details are still coming into play. jon: should the president think about a small program? >> certainly has to look at things that the american people -- 85% of americans are happy with their health care. there are ways that we can do it. we can allow insurance to be bought across state lines. we can make sure that pre- existing conditions are covered. we can even do things -- we can educate young people on the inch -- the importance of health insurance. it does not require a government run single payer public option plan to get that done. jon: thank you, both. jane: janice dean is continuing

to watch a brand new potential orrick and taking shape of the coast of hawaii. it is now a tropical storm. it could change. it to be -- it could become a hurricane. a 7-year-old girl died after a powerful wave swept her right into the ocean yesterday. she was at acadia national park in maine. you were looking at some video of the coast guard rescuing some other people who were also swept in. some of them had broken bones. in the central part of florida, a swimmer drowned after being caught in the rough surf. an outed blogger goes to court. >> what would you do if somebody called you a psychotic whoring lying old hag skank?

i would be angry. he might have remembered this happening to a former vogue model. she was recently granted a court order that required google to identify the ip address. she is a 29-year-old fashion student. the model says that it was an irrelevant person in her life. the blogger 1 to sue google for $15 million for breaching her privacy. you better watch what you write online in england. if you are a cyber bully their,

you can go to jail. check this out. an 18-year-old will be sentenced to -- to three months of juvenile jail after harassing a cosmic online. she admitted to threatening to kill the girl. she was given a five-year restraining order. this whole week, i will not be harassing, but i will be hosting friel for all. jane: thank you. we will see you then. jon: 8 curris 2 killed 270 people gets an early release. he gets a hero's welcome home. was it some kind of business deal that led to his freedom? scotland said it was done out of compassion since the convicted terrorist is dying. go to our website. there is an interactive poll

>> i want to take you to kick -- to texas. they just found several sets of bones that they think are belonging to multiple infants in this mobile home park. you can see the crime scene tape. the sheriff's department reporting they do not know if a crime has been committed here. a broad and a forensic anthropologist to look at what they think our children's bones. multiple infants. back in 2008, they found skeletal remains in this same area. we do not know if a crime has been committed. they are treating it like a crime scene. jane: you do not like when your boss is running a business? why not just take over the company.

in argentina, more than 200 businesses are being illegally occupied by workers there. even with the electricity turned off, the employees are not budging. they say it is out of necessity. steve, what is behind this? >> the economic downturn here in argentina is driving it. when bankruptcy happened here, it is not the end. it is the beginning of a real fight as to who is in control of the building, the owner or the workers. the main glasses in argentina the same way they did in 1896, not out of tradition, but out of necessity. the owners sold the ovens and assembly lines and the workers did what they have done in two other -- 200 other businesses. they broke in and kept working. >> we are not the ones breaking the law.

>> under a single owner, this hotel went bankrupt. the managers, made, and cooks are in charge. all make one salary. a worker's paradise or a short term abortion funded by the government? >> these firms lack human capital. they lack finance. they lack capacity. >> squatting in bankrupt factories might be illegal, but to drive workers out takes will and sometimes fors. the simple question of quote owns the work place is being fought in the courts and in the streets. each time the workers here occupy another building, the idea gets stronger is that if you occupy the building, the government will not kick you out. jane: steve, thank you. jon: more and more teenagers

of the drugs and they get creative these are powerful drugs. they are stimulants. essentially the same drug as crystal meth. people do not really associate these medications with the same severity. jane: what do you do about it? some people are getting them illegally. how do you prevent this from happening? >> education is a big part. putting tighter regulations on the physicians that are prescribing them. not allow and refills that go on for months, having more frequent visits with patients. it puts the onus on the doctor. jane: how do the kids who do not have a ph.d. to get their hands on the drugs? >> like any other drug. people are forging prescriptions. there are amazing ways to get medications now.

[captioning made possible by fox news channel] captioned by the national captioning institute --www.ncicap.org-- jon: good morning to you. i am jon scott. jane: these health care town hall meetings are apparently taking a toll on the president and congress. according to a recent poll, 28% of voters strongly approve of the way that the president is performing. 43% now say that it would likely vote for a republican to

represent them in congress. 38% say that they would vote for a democrat. jon: shannon bream is live with more. those numbers cannot be good news for democrats heading into a very important election cycle. >> absolutely right. the midterm elections are always important, especially when you're looking at the first term of the new presidency. they are hard on the party that is controlling the white house. the democrats could hit -- take a hit in 2010. even the senate's top democrat, harry reid appears to be vulnerable. brand new polling shows that the top two potential republican contenders would both kohl had of him in a head-to-head matchup. when you are talking about big names like that, at the 2010 race could be a plea for democrats. jon: the independent voters are the ones who hold the key there.

>> brand new gallup polling shows that 70% of independent voters disapprove of congress and what it has been doing. only 22% say that they approve of what is happening. those numbers pull closer how republicans rank congress. those voters are all-important. there is still a lot of time to get them on board. right now, they clearly are not. jon: what does it mean for the gop? >> eight could be a perfect stew of things right now. also when you factor in the health-care town hall meetings, it is just a lot of frustration. here is what a republican congressman had to say. >> it is a combination of the work they've done and where they're going. it is also about arrogance. the arrogance of not listening to the constituents.

the iraq war. he will vote against what his district once. in iraq war. that arrogance there -- if you look at steve k. again where you ask my question he had up there and he said, you are writing health care bill. what do you want in it? i think the american people are upset with that. >> republicans are hoping to capitalize, but they admit that it is a long time out to those midterm elections and they are going to have to offer their own solutions and not just look to capitalize on unrest and frustration. jane: we have new details on restore yousaf. it surrounds those unsolicited white house e-mails pushing health-care reform. the administration confirms to fox that it hired a private communications company to distribute the email, giving them lists of names and e-mail addresses.

you see the president -- he is on martha's vineyard for a week- long vacation. major garrett is working. what can you tell us about this e-mail story and the delivery system? >> gov delivery has worked with the federal government before. a did emailing for the bush administration. the obama administration brought it on board to move females that the -- it thought the public should say. it has nothing to do with the formation of the e-mail list. all it did was deliver what the white house gave it. other things that the white house wanted to disseminate. it is not responsible for how people's names got on that e- mail list. all it is responsible for doing is sending the e-mail from the white house once it was contracted to do. we're still working on that part

of the story. it is based in minneapolis, minnesota. it has a bipartisan reputation. it is contradicted by republican governors. there is no real suspicious story about the company. this is the first time in as been brought in to work on behalf of any white house to move email documents. that is the white house's effort to defend. jane: how is the perform linked to gulf? >> we were told by the deputy white house press secretary. he is playing golf with the chief vote counter in the house of representatives.

there is no legislative matter more important than health care reform. while they are on the golf course, i would imagine not only with a talk about health care, but also where the votes stand and how rapidly the house democratic leadership can move a vote of -- a bill off of the house floor in the fall. as the schedule gets later and later in the year, it gets more complicated for the president to move health care forward. while playing golf, they will be counting votes and strokes. jane: major garrett, you keep us on our toes. thank you. we will check back with you later. jon: some new details are coming to light about techniques that cia terror interrogators used on terrorist suspects. one detainee was threatened with a handgun and a power

drill he was indicated in the u.s. bombing -- the bombing of the uss cole. the ethics office is asking cia abuse cases be reopened. the recommendation has been presented to attorney-general eric holder. if acted upon, cia employees and agency contractors could face conned -- could face prosecution for any mistreatment of prisoners president obama approved the creation of a special unit for interrogating detainee's. the unit will be overseen by the national security council. we want to hear from you. do you think it is a good idea to open an investigation into interrogation techniques that the cia used? you can log onto our website and cast a vote.

you can also check out the results so far. jane: there is growing outrage over scotland's decision to release the only one convicted in the bombing of pan am flight 103 back in 1988. scotland's parliament is convening today. he says he followed the law and he's standing by the decision. in the kellogg is in london for a skirted home -- is in london for us. one of them calling him guilty of an act of folly. a lot of scottish parliamentarians are very concerned that the act of returning him to libya early, not allowing him to serve out his sentence in scotland has

brought shame upon scotland. a lot of debate and a lot of questions being asked of that scottish justice secretary. he stands by his decision. in the meantime, there is increasing talk of how this decision has actually done as much harm to transatlantic relations between the u.k. and the u.s.. one thing that i do not think has been pointed out is that in the arab press today, there has been all lot of praise of coffgadaffi. it seems that not only has he received a boost at home for being able to bring this man back, but many libyans do not believe he is guilty, but he might be getting a boost across the arab world.

jane: you can tell us what you think about this case. but i still your line from you? do you agree with this decision to release him? these are the results right now. 3% say releasing him is a compassionate moved. 96% of you say that it was the wrong decision. go to fox nenews.com. jon: the international manhunt for a reality tv star accused of the grisly murder of his wife is over. police say that ryan jenkins apparently killed himself. a young woman checked him into the hotel. he disappeared after the badly mutilated body of his wife was found in a trash bin outside of los angeles last week.

police say they do not know how long he was out the hotel before his body was found. they are looking into this video released by tmz. they say they are looking into a possible motive. jane: a college in tennessee is taking a proactive approach to fighting the h1n1 virus this fall as the students come back. staff and faculty are handing out swine flu kits in an attempt to keep everybody healthy on campus. each kit has sanitizer, tissues, antibacterial whites -- the college has a clinic for kids to think that they're coming down with something. you can log onto our website and there is a section there were we separate the miss from the

plane that was flying over southern california. take a look at some of the video from santa barbara yesterday. the pilot was a mile away from landing when he suddenly reported he was running out of fuel. he radioed the tower that he was in trouble. the plane either hit or was hit by a total of three cars before all the craziness was over. amazingly, no one was seriously hurt. joining me is say spokesman for the faa. i have taken flight training when you need to put it down some plants, look for a highway. you want to look for a place that is not quite so busy as, 101. >> that is a good way of putting it. jon: did the pilot have any other options? >> nothing was available around there. the pilots said that he had an

emergency and he lost engine power and he did not have any fuel remaining. he had already formulated his plan. jon: if he was a mile away from landing, he probably was not that high either. when you look at the aftermath of the accident, -- i guess that is the rear elevator that we saw torn off. it looks like a big chunk of the engine was torn off. this was a shasmash up accident. >> the landing itself was uneventful, but the problem started after that. jon: people are not expecting an airplane to come in front of them on the highway. jon: what happens? the ntsb comes in and investigate? >> i do not know of the ntsb will investigate this.

the accident itself happened after the plane had landed. the faa is looking into why the plane appeared to be low on fuel. was there a gauge that was improperly indicating? was there some kind of a problem that resulted in in? jon: the plane landed safely and it becomes a traffic accident for the state patrol to investigate >> i think that is pretty much the case. jane: do not never do that. jon: i will not permit jane: the white house and knowledge that it hired a company to send out the e-mail. a lot of viewers got the females saying that they never signed up to get up on any white house list. the republican response coming up next.

jane: we want to get to some breaking news out of southern california. >> you have planes crashing on the freeway and now you have the air is coming down. this is along the pacific coast highway. the traffic is horrible. it is the scene of the earth coming down on top of this metrobus that is really bad. the tree crumbs -- comes crashing down so far, no big injuries reported out of those. the fire department has to climb up and go and a different route because the doors are crushed on the other side. what a mess. no serious injuries reported there. this is pacific coast highway heading out of santa monica freeway and very scary situation

for the people in that bus. there was no retaining wall. the tree just came right down, bringing down all the foliage with it. back to you guys. jon: the controversy over those unsolicited white house e-mails is still brewing. the white house hired a company to send out those females. members of the republican party's are responding. one of those republicans joins us live. are you surprised at all by the white house admission and is that it was using this e-mail delivery service? >> i am glad that they finally get admitted it. it is the quintessential height of hypocrisy after all that out rage about fisa and unwarranted

wiretapping where we were trying to capture these terrorists to do our country harm and wanting to sue the media and the phone companies for providing phone lists to help the cia to be able to get the bad guys, they are spamming the american people to find out who was against this universal nightmare called health care reform. i'm glad that the white house finally admitted it. jon: i was surprised. when it hires a private agency to do its public-relations work, who pays for that? >> you know exactly who pays for that. they're not a bunch of thugs or gangsters. they are mostly seniors who were

concerned about losing their medicare benefits. jon: the controversy had been boiling and the white house said, we hired this firm. this firm is a reputable operation. about 85% of all government- related females are funneled through this option. do you have a problem with them using a private firm at all? >> it sounds to me like a lot of these organizations, these liberal democratic supporting organizations send their e-mail list to the white house and they got embedded with the white house list of e-mail that was gains during the campaign. all of a sudden, they hire a firm to literally spam all of these e-mails. people are absolutely outraged. no wonder they are so untrusting

of what the president did. they are killing their own message. the message is so bad that it is not going anywhere anyway. it is time to go back to washington and do this in a bipartisan there are some things that the republicans could support. there are a lot of other physicians in the house and senate. i think we can do some -- get something done that we should have done what we actually had a majority. we can make health insurance more affordable. we're all for that, but not turned over to the federal government. neither are the american people. jon: thank you. jane: republicans are saying senior citizens will pay a steep price. the rnc chairman michael steele explains the principles behind something he has just unveiled today. he is calling it a health care

bill of rights for seniors. we will hear from him next. the president's approval ratings are falling amongst voters. how about the media? is that honeymoon over?

along the 101 at 10:35, when there is hardly traffic on. he normally would have these kids with them. no one was in the car with him. he saw a plane coming right for him. he said that he jumped across the lanes to try to get away from the plane and he could not get away from the plane. he got clipped by it. the vw golf was the last to hit it. he was driving a honda. he said, i got clipped by it. he said again, all i could think about was -- i just want to see my kids alive again. he said he had never seen anything like it, as you can imagine. there you go. he sent me these pictures, by the way. this is in santa barbara, not far away from the university of california.

jane: thankfully, no one was hurt in that. jon: the gop is stepping up its opposition to the president's health care agenda. michael steele says that the jenna -- the democrats' plan will shortchange senior citizens. republicans unveiled a senior's bill of rights. james rosen is keeping an eye on it. we remember the contract with america 15 years ago today. is this new bill of rights and attempt to create something that is quite to resonate with the american people the same way? >> certainly the republican party and its chairman would hope that it does prove as resonant as the contract with america. there are very valid reasons for both parties to be targeting senior citizens with their messages about health care reform. situs -- senior citizens, more reliably than any other demographic do go out and vote.

a lot of the outrage, whether real or feigned, as some democrats insisted it was, was identifiably coming from senior citizens. this so-called bill of rights for seniors and health care debate would identify about half a dozen points of interest to senior citizens, including the financing of health care reform should not be at their expense. jon: i think one of the central tenets in this document that chairman steele outlined was that the bill should not be balanced on the back of senior citizens. >> there were taken to task some democratic members of congress saying that it was wasteful spending at medicare. it could be used to extend health insurance for those americans who do not have it. that point was made today by the republican chairman michael steele, who did agree with me

that there is some wasteful spending at medicare, although he would not get specific about it. >> we have always been told, do not talk about that. senior citizens, you have to be careful because that is a democratic vote. who says? my idea of the world is that people out there, including seniors are looking for leaders who are prepared to address their issues. >> it is humorous to hear the republicans thumping their chest and supporting medicare when medicare is a government run single pair system. i thought they were opposed to that dreadf how tall, teo lanios this -- i thought they were opposed to that. jon: did he have anything to say about republican chances of winning back the white house in

2012? >> he made clear that his first priority or the special races in new york and new jersey. he has some special elections in the 2010 midterms. i asked him if he regarded it as his particular misfortune at a time when barack obama is president. he agreed that barack obama is a gifted politician. he also said that everyone can be beaten. jane: as the president is vacationing with his family, the polls show that his approval ratings have been falling. he is facing some public skepticism when it comes to health care reform. this morning, a column in "the new york times" puts it this way. those on the left loved him because they thought he was one of them. the media loved him because he was a great story. now both groups are turning on him.

let's get to juan williams. is the honeymoon over? >> if you look at the numbers with independent voters, it looks like a tremendous slip. you see that his approval numbers are going down. you see a loss of support for his health-care proposals. so, independent voters, swing voters out there have been pretty much supportive of obama. they have been peeling off in larger numbers. jane: is it a lasting lost? >> how can you know? he has to turn it around. at the moment, there is no evidence that he has shifted the momentum that is now draining away from him. it looks like there are several issues on the burner that seem

to be hurting him. what is interesting, for example, in that column that you read, some of that support is draining from the left. people who think that he is not sufficiently resolute making clear what his plans on health care so that he can defend it, supported, and get his base excited about it. at this moment, it looks like nobody is fighting but the obama team. jane: who takes the hit on it if they do not get what they want? the president or the leaders in congress? >> i think president obama does. he has made it the center of his domestic agenda. not only that, you have to think about what it means going down a line in terms of his cap-and- trade deal in all the other issues that he said if he wants to achieve in his first term. if this does not get done, why does anybody think that those will get done? jon: have you seen this?

"the wall street journal" has confirmed that he does have cancer, according to sources close to him. the bottom line, "the wall street journal" is confirming what was first reported. jon: they would be treating him in prison? >> and they say in the article that he is only taking these pills and during the lead up to his incarceration, he never left to see a doctor. if he has some sort of serious cancer that could cost him his life, what is being done if anything to treat him? are we flooding that bill? he is a member of the inmate population. i think a lot of his victims would feel like a double burn here. jon: the search is on right now

for a missing georgia mother. there are new developments today. >> the first thing that is happening in this case is that now the search has moved from georgia to north carolina. "america's most wanted" ran the story. she is now in north carolina. you are looking right now had a brand new video that we just got in. we can go back to that. it is only 20 seconds long. it is very short. it is from december, 2000. you see her holding her small child at that time. just to prompt the public to know that there is a female dick cheney -- there is a face and a hard behind the surge. she vanished from her hometown july 22. she was on the phone with her boyfriend when he heard her say something to the effect that

somebody was taking her. that is her with her child. the two new developments today. the search is now in the kings mountain area. officers have been combing that area and getting that tip that was called in to "america's most wanted." just to put a face to the big search that is going on. back to you. jon: let's hope they get some answers. thank you very much. jane: the new york mets lost a lot of games this year. their fans thought that they had seen it all until this. they managed to lose in historic fashion. check it out. >> the runners go. he makes the tag. it is a triple play. the game is over. jane: he made an unassisted

triple play that ended the game. his only the second time in major league baseball history that that happened. the manager of the mets said that they were trying to push the envelope, so we sent those runners. >> it took a perfect storm for this trip -- this triple play to happen. what happened is, the ball got hit right to him. if the ball got hit 10 feet the other way, they look much smarter. as it turns out, they questioned the decision to do that. jane: the second baseman does it all. he tags the base and then he attacks the player. when you saw that, could you even believe it?

>> display has only happened 15 times in baseball history. it is only the second time it has ever happened to end the game. it takes all these weird coincidences. when it does occur, it is quick. jane: what has he said about it? >> it was interesting. he was not their regular second baseman. he first started second base. in all worked out for him. jane: good to hear from you. thank you.

jon: mets fans say that their team can find another way to lose. that will be good for him. making history. artificial life. do you think it is possible? one scientist says that he is almost there. almost ready to announce the creation of artificial life. we will ask if it is a good idea. >> do you read me? do you read me? >> affirmative, dave. >> open the pod bay doors, hal. >> i am sorry, dave, i am afraid i cannot do that. if you're taking 8 extra-strength tylenol... a day on the days that you have arthritis pain, you could end up taking 4 times the number...

of pills compared to aleve. choose aleve and you could start taking fewer pills. just 2 aleve have the strength... to relieve arthritis pain all day.

jane: this is not a good way to start the school year. you're looking at the outside of hillsdale high school. look like a pipe bomb exploded at bicycle. they're calling parents as well. this is just in from the police department. they are confirming that they do have a suspect in custody. we do not know whether this is a current student or even a student at all. it is not known exactly what the device was. news breaking out of california. we will keep you updated. >> in an age of intelligent machines, he is the first robotic child programmed to love and coexist as a member of

a family. his is a tale of humanity. >> i am a boy. jon: that was a clip from "a.i." that is the story of a highly advanced robotic boy who can think and feel like a human being. a controversial scientist says that he is months away from making his own form of artificial life. they are creating the first man- made organism in a laboratory, he says. he says such bacteria could perform a wide variety of useful tasks. is it safe to play god in this way? let's talk to the editor in chief of "discover magazine."

he talked about creating life. it is referred to making a synthetic species. is that a more accurate representation of what is going on here? >> he is not starting from scratch. he is taking the tool kit that nature has already given us and he is tinkering. jon: it is not a frankenstein movie where you take something that is inanimate and zap it with electricity. >> the implications of it are huge. we're at the early stages of understanding how to tinker with dna, how to take the rule book that nature has and scramble around the pages and make it do something new. he is reprogramming it to do something new like to make a back -- a vaccine or a drug. jon: what are the implications? what are the possible uses? >> if you look of the upside, he

is talking about vaccines, designing bacteria that clean up toxic waste, things that create biofuels. that is certainly the upside. jon: in horror movies, it is always frankenstein's monster that gets released and creates all sorts of worldwide have occurred and i imagine you could have a real problem in some bacteria got out there in the world that was not intended to be there. it is this safe? >> obviously, that is the big concern. this serious concern is bioterrorism, designing a bacterium to be very lethal. i'm not worried about that because it is a pretty complicated tool kit. if you wanted to be destructive, there are many simple, very blunt ways to be destructive that would be much easier than this. the bigger concern is not quite understand what it is what we're

doing here. instead of cleaning up an oil spill, maybe it could keep the oil wells. something like that, unintended consequences. jon: thank you. jane: you dream of owning a million-dollar home. there is hope. they are flooding the market and some of the owners are getting desperate. you could say you could turn your six-pack reality into champagne dreams. how? . ot, one that could be fatal. but plavix helps save lives. plavix taken with other heart medicines, goes beyond what other heart medicines do alone, to provide greater protection against heart attack or stroke and even death by helping to keep blood platelets from sticking together and forming clots. ask your doctor about plavix, protection that helps save lives. if you have a stomach ulcer or other condition that causes bleeding

you should not use plavix. taking plavix alone or with some other medicines including aspirin may increase bleeding risk, tell your doctor before planning surgery or taking aspirin or other medicines with plavix, especially if you've had a stroke. some medicines that are used to treat heartburn or stomach ulcers, like prilosec, may affect how plavix works, so tell your doctor if you are taking other medicines. if fever, unexplained weakness or confusion develops, tell your doctor promptly. these may be signs of ttp, a rare but potentially life-threatening condition reported sometimes less than 2 weeks after starting plavix. other rare but serious side effects may occur. if you take plavix with other heart medicines, continuing to do so will help increase protection against a future heart attack or stroke. feeling better doesn't mean you're not at risk. stay with plavix. announcer: you could buy 750 bottles of water or just one brita faucet filter.

jane: the housing market may be showing signs of rebounding. existing home sales jump 7% last month, but tell that to owners of high-end homes. listings are merely piling up by the hundreds. orlando's -- orlando salinas has more on this. >> just as of last week, i am

told by realtors in central florida, there were told 600 or so homes available worth of around $1 million on told. most have been on the market for one year, as long as three years. tiger woods has a home in orlando. here is how it all went down. when times were great, master builders and investors bought tons of land in orlando and build all of these homes. then the market crashed and those homes need to be finished, but no one was there to buy it. today the market is moving along, but not as fast or at a price that tellers were hoping to get. jane: who are the owners of these homes? >> lot of foreigners coming from europe. they are not necessarily worried

about the price. for lots of these people, it is a second, third home. they have been selling at about four, five of these every month, the last year at the same time it was very flat. for them to say that, that is pretty good, but they are still not getting the money they want. if you can afford a home like this, this could be something to look at. jane: how long are these deals going to be up there? >> realtors say that the market is starting to stabilize, so the best time is now. if you want to wait more, it is a gamble, but if you are trying to purchase a multimillion- dollar home and you were waiting to say if a couple thousand dollars more, maybe you are looking at the wrong home. looking at the wrong home.
