arizona, police say they wanted to be bonnie and clyde, now they're behind bars. how they were captured. i take solace in the biblical story of david n this case i don't have a slingshot, but i do have the truth on my side. >> former illinois governor rod blagojevich speaks out. and meanwhile, sarah palin is defending dr. laura. she says the radio host has been shackled by people who branded the radio talk show host a racist for her n-word rant. how did sarah palin defend dr. laura? we'll have her in her own words. and five years after hurricane katrina, is new orleans really on the come back? we asked that question to famed director spike lee who has a new documentary coming out next week, my interview with spike in this hour. and two fugitives who compared themselves to bonnie

and clyde are captured, they led authorities on a three-week nationwide manhunt before they were busted in arizona last night. the fbi and the new mexico state police will let us know what's happening in the case regarding john mcclusky and his fiance/cousin casslyn welch. police say welch helped mcclusky bust out of prison on july 30 and they have been on the run ever since. george lewis joins us from our live burbank studio. there was speculation these two could have made it into canada and they were busted in the same state where he broke out of jail? >> investigators say that's not uncommon in these fugitive situations, these fugitives sometimes circle back to where they started. in this case it was a very smart park ranger in a campground that spotted a suspicious looking vehicle. he called in the license plate number, the license plate

matched that of a suspicious car in new mexico connected to the murder of a couple from oklahoma connected to mcclusky and welch and the s.w.a.t. teams swooped in and made the arrests. now mcclusky didn't put up any resistance, welch had a handgun in the small of her back, she went to get it but then had second thoughts as she was surrounded by s.w.a.t. team members yelling at her to put down the weapon. so a peaceful surrender here, not exactly like bonnie and clyde who went out in a hail of bullets. >> i'm curious, when these two were arrested and we talked about this earlier, they indicated as you point out, for a gunfight, welch apparently reaching for a gun in her jeans behind her back? >> yeah, and when the officers got the un, one of them said okay be careful, this may be the

murder weapon, referring to the couple from oklahoma. mcclusky says no, the murder weapon is over there in the tent. so his gun was in the tent. so that may have implicated him in the murder, he may have just fessed up to it. >> we'll have more on what's happening with that situation as well as any charges related to that couple for murder. it is back to the table again for israeli and palestinian leadership who have just agreed to sit down for talks after a two-year stalemate. secretary of state hillary clinton announced just a short time ago that both sides will meet in washington september 1 to resume peace talks. >> the president and i are encouraged by the leadership by prime minister net tanya -- netanyahu and -- living side by side in peace and security. > president obama is on day

two of his ten-day family vacation in martha's vineyard. mike viqueira is there. george mitchell was asked earlier with secretary clinton, what was the difference in this? what made the difference to break this stalemate? >> reporter: well, you're absolutely right, and of course the white house is attributing it to president obama's as well as george mitchell's efforts. of course george mitchell, the former democratic leader, now the m administration's liaison, bringing them together for direct talks for the first time in almost two years. it will be preceded by a dinner the night before september 1, involving the egyptian president mubarak as well as the king of jordan. these are the two countries that have made peace with israel. the rest of the arab world has

escalated. the counter terrorism advisor to the president, the white house very eager to let us know that he's here, he's briefing the president on a daily basis, even though we are here in a rather bucolic occasion. but he made it very clear what the stakes were for not only the israelis and palestinians, but the region and this country. >> it is not just in the national security interest of israel and palestine. it's in the national interests of the neighboring states, of lebanon, syria, other arab countries as well with the international community. >> reporter: and george mitchell, of course he was instrumental in bringing together the parties in the northern ireland dispute and he had an interesting quote, tamron. he said, you know, we had 700 bad days of that negotiation and one good day that led to an agreement. now in this case, all the parties involved have begin it

one year, one year they will sit down for direct talks and if nothing happens at the end of that year, they could make a decision to extend it. but one year. so there may be a lot of differents now, say brennan, hillary rodham clinton and george mitchell, but they say they're confident it can be bridged overtime. >> and the president was outside of a bookstore today? >> reporter: yeah, it so happens it's right across the street here, the president and his two daughters visited a bookstore. the president, we are told purchaseded that new tome from jonathan rancin. the town pretty much went gaga. you see a lot of people outside. there was a young man inside who had a copy of "dreams of my father" the president's book before he became president. now tamron, the president s wait for it, golf, that ee's somethi

he loves to do. >> you speak of golfing and that area, you and i both know there's a story line out there, it's been discusseded that some weren't happy to see the president in such a luxurious setting, given the economy, any push back on that or any reference at all on that. >> you might be surprised hear, not only this administration, but previous administrations have always been very eager to say that wherever the president goes, that's where the white house s john brennan himself was asked this very question today, described a very robust communications facilities, information moving at the speed of light, saying he has access to the president any time he needs to talk to the president and that the bill burton, the deputy press secretary who conducted the briefing says that the president gets an economic briefing mostly on paper each and every day. in all honesty, this is a working vacation. the president will be out and

about, golfing, going out for ice cream, things of that nature, and while it's one of the nicer settings that you will find, everybody eager to port y portray. >> you're in a beautiful setting and working hard. >> reporter: notwithstanding my casual dress. >> greatly appreciate it, mike. the wife of the imam planning to -- daysy khan is telling the associated press today that her group is aware of the concerns and is working with american muslim leaders as their project moves forward, but the debate about the location of a center and mosque is still onloonlo ongoing, still the family members of 9/11 victims say it's an appropriate location. take a look at this billboard, it's on i-80 in east texas, a glade water area doctor purchased the billboard

here. >> so what's your take on sarah palin defending dr. laura's n-word rant. >> well, first of all, just because somebody has the first amendment right doesn't make it right. i was extremely disappointed in governor palin's support for dr. laura. so for us at the frederick douglas foundation, we're trying to encourage african-americans to look closely at the republican party as a viable option and sarah palin's comments are out of line, distasteful and should be condemned by all americans. >> have you heard that from several people or a few? i have to be honest, i got a tweet today regarding this. an individual said, well, how many african-american republicans are there to be upset about it? how do you respond to that? >> well there are millions of african-americans who are republicans and there are a host of people, but it's not only african-americans who are upset about this, sarah palin hasn't had a very good month.

earlier this month she actually offended a host of conservatives when she endorsed a prorepublican candidate in georgia who was a benefactor to the abortion industry, so i think if she wants to think about her political future, she should do a little bit better job of staying in contact with her base and messaging a little bit better to the community she wants to get support from. >> i know you're the vice chairman of this organization, so you're not a psychologist, i don't believe, but when you read someone's words or you hear someone's words, you wonder what their motive is. for sarah palin to say dr. laura don't retreat, reload, how do you interpret that. >> i'm not quite sure what she meant by that, but i know in the media, that type of language is inflammatory and destructive. my hope is that just as dr. laura apologized for her comments, sarah palin would do the same. >> have you reached out to sarah

palin for an apology? >> there's an event coming up soon that she and i will be a part of and i'm hoping we will have an opportunity to discuss this and some of the other issues that are important. >> do you plan to approach her and talk with her abt your feelings and how the others that you have spoken to feel about dr. laura? >> i think sarah palin did a good job as governor, but when she makes statements like this, it does not serve to do us well as african-american republicans and really it's not good discourse really for any of those political officials who have a desire to run for office. i certainly will have a discussion with her if she's open and hopefully she'll moderate her comments for the ne future. >> we'll see if she retreats or as you put it reloads. rod blagojevich is blasting prosecutors since being act quitted on 23 out of 24 counts

welcome back. today the white house once again condemned the decision to release the condemned lockerbie bomber who was freed from a scottish prison a year ago today and received a hero's welcome when he arrived back in libya. he was released on so-called humanitarian grounds, he had just three months to live or so the reports indicated.

hillary clinton released a statement that said we maintain that al-megrahi should serve out the entirety of his sentence. however families of some of the 270 bombing victims including 189 americans are still as you can imagine, frustrated at the u.s. government's response, bert amorman who lost his brother spoke today on msnbc. >> when i met with president bush, he said if this is traced to state sponsored terrorism he would -- they tried to open up passports for business pen for oil. then had to watch bush's son, bush 43 and blair welcome gadhafi back into the international community. there hasn't been a more background, democratic or republican in 21 years.

nationally syndicated radio talk show host, michael smerconish, he said i can understand when looking for justice, and with that comment from mr. am moreman, he spreads his anger across. he i was just mad and wants justice here. >> only have the compassionate relief and left unsaid is the man is still alive, right? so here come this document request that was put forth by four members of the u.s. senate, both senators from new york and both senators from new jersey which is the liest level of concentration of those american victims and having read the request they have put forth, they want all sorts of information, specifically the medical records. what appears to have happened here is that the four specialists involved with al-megrahi's care weren't consulted in this process and instead a junior physician gave the go ahead.

you see whether bp played a role, the second thing that's going on is a request for documents that has put forth to the brits as well, to the uk, because there's a reason to believe that there was a deal made with the united states that megrahi would serve the entire term a minuimum of 27 years. >> when we see the new prime minister david cameron here he said it was wrong and was not part of the decision condemned it then and now he says, but, he is unwilling to open the floodgates as requested by these senators. >> and that was the request that was put forth, it was to cameron and they use those same words with him. you're the one who said and offered that quote. i don't know what the net effect will be because i find it real hard to believe that megrahi

will be sent to any prison. >> it seems as if -- where can these families go or what really can be done at this point. >> unfortunately, darn little, bow you hope at least you get the full story so there's a spotlight on it so we get some straight answers as to whether oil played a part in this. >> the moderator of "meet the press" will be here tonight 5:00 and 7:00. new court documents are released in the death of a college lacrosse player who was allegedly killed by her ex-boyfriend, what they reveal about this turbulent relationship. if you fight to sleep in the middle of the night,

welcome back, in some of the key governor's races, msnbc has it's top ten states where a party is likely to win or lose control of the governor's mansion. and the outcome of some of these races could have a big impact on the 2012 political election. mark, let's launch right in with wyoming. >> wyoming is a state where the current governor is a democrat david freedenthaw. obama who got only 33 percent of the vote in 2008, it's a solidly red state, the likely person who's going to win that is matt meade, he won the republican primary this week, he's a former u.s. state attorney and he would be the clear favorite in this state for a republican pickup. >> next on the list, hawaii.

. >> hawaii is the exact opposite, hawaii is a solidly blue democratic state. you have the governor and there's a crowded primary that's going to happen on september 18, the democrat will probably win that, neil abercrombie, so it's a republican to democratic switch. >> and as we mentioned, you have a list of ten, but also on this list is iowa. >> iowa's really interesting, we know that is a state that launchlaunch ed barack obama's presidential campaign and his presidential prospects. this is a state where the current democrat is the governor. chuck culver, and he is perhaps the most vulnerable governor that's running for re-election, his numbers are not in good shape and his opponent is the former governor of iowa and he is going into the general election as the clear favorite in this contest and that might be able to help out republican prospects in the hawkeye state

come 2012. this was a state president obama won in the general election by 10 percentage paints. >> and culver is saying he made some mistakes and he realizes he's in trouble there. >> and it's never a good situation when you're already admitting mistakes that you have made heading into the november and that's why one of many reasons that republicans are probably the favorites in this contest. >> mark murray, nbc news deputy political director, mark, have a great weekend. new orleans five years after hurricane katrina, my conversation with spike lee about his new documentary marking the anniversary. and jennifer anniston coming under fire again this time for using a word that's offensive to people with disabilities and she said it on tv. this is msnbc. ush? appraiser: well you rarely see them in this good of shape. appraiser: for example the fingers are perfect. appraiser: the bird is in mint condition.

search for trudy, her mother gave a recent interview and certainly indicated that she's quite worried that her daughter may have been killed. >> yeah, well, you know, according to police sources, three days after she went missing, her rental car was found abandoned at a nearby rest area, police sources say there was blood and bullet fragments found inside that vehicle, we spoke with the district attorney's office yesterday and they wouldn't confirm nor deny that. but, you know, it's certainly very telling that there could be foul play here. >> and what about the report that hall's roommate ramal, i believe was the last name, that there was an alleged immigration scam? >> she's come forward and alleged that rahm ramal, one of the men trudy was married to actually paid her $20,000 to marry him as part of an immigration scam, but at this

point, authorities aren't commenting on that, so we don't know if that's true or not. >> david lore, true crime writer for aol news, thank you, david for your time. the president on vacation, what he picked up at a bookstore on martha's vineyard, and it's just something we thought you should know, next.

we don't know the identity of that ranger yet, but the sheriff's office called him a hero. >> he is a true hero, he made that contact, he was diligent about it. he was out there doing his job. when he seen these two fugitives that's when he tipped off. >> george, as i understand it, the woman at least was armed at the time that authorities arrived? >> yeah, she had a handgun in the small of her back and she made a move to go for it and then had second thoughts when she was surrounded by swathe officers pointing her automatic weapons at her, so she dropped the weapon and surrendered. then the officer said be careful with that weapon, it might be the murder weapon, referring to the murder of a couple from oklahoma whose bodies were found in new mexico and mcclusky says, that's not the murder weapon, the murder
