carol? >> shell says it could handle a big oil spill. environmentalists are not so sure. why? >> oh, yeah. you know this. environmentalists, gosh, they've really fought for this for decades. first of all, they don't want drilling to disrupt the fragile wildlife habitat there. second, there are big safety concerns with bp still very fresh on their minds. shell insists, though, it's taken every precaution. sierra club disagrees, saying approving this project is, quote, like building -- like a building inspector letting a developer start construction on a skyscraper on shaky ground before the safety plans are even complete. loek cals are also worried abou what a potential problem would do to animals in the region that residents depend on for survival. again, carol, the government has put shell through the wringer on this. it took six years to get approval. the project is going forward. everybody's just hoping for the best. carol? >> alison cottkosik, thank you. >>> congress is getting back to w

carol?> go ahead, ana. >> let me just tell you a couple of weeks ago i was on a panel and the anchor, national anchor of univision asked me, actually, that question. why didn't mitt romney embrace the fact that his father was born in mexico and claimed to be a latino? i then told jorge ramos, the univision anchor, who asked mitt romney t same question in january, during the republican primary in florida, that i thought it was a ridiculous question. the man isn't latino, doesn't claim to be latino. he doesn't feel it. you got to be what you feel in your heart. it is a question that was brought up because of where his father was born. i don't think he was being offensive. was he funny? no. was he offensive? no. >> if he was latino, really, would it be easier for him to be elected president? >> no. >> i don't think it would be. becaus again, it's not just where you're from. and it's not just your name. it's the actual policies that you represent. and, unfortunately for mitt romney, the policies

carol? >> it doesn't matter. crystal, why don't you take that. >> well, yeah. i just think to your point, carol, we've heard all these stories before. we heard about barack obama picking her up on dates in a rusty old car, where she could see the pavement. we've heard all these stories before. and i think what she didn't talk about is how barack obama has improved the country over the last four years, how he's made it better for americans. she keeps talking about looking ahead. we've had unemployment above 8% for the last 3 1/2 years since he's been president. she, like david axelrod and everybody else, couldn't make the case why we should re-elect him on his quantitative, you know, results, but she talked about this emotional experience. she tried to emotionalize him. and i would disagree with maria that she personalized their relationship. i think she tried through a speech that was not really greatly written. it was poorly written. she lifted it to new heights. and i think ann romney, wha

i'm carol costello. we begin this hour with muslim outrage and new flare-ups of anti-american violence. one flash point, kabul, afghanistan. crowds of protesters turn on police when they try to block their march toward the u.s. embassy. at least 15 officers are hurt and their vehicles set on fire. in indonesia protesters bombard police outside the u.s. embassy in jakarta. they pelt them with rocks and use slingshots to whip marbles at them. only a volley of tear gas managed to chase away the crowd. also google india is blocking internet users from viewing the low budget movie that has ignited the fury. the movie follows the afghan government ordering an indefinite block of youtube. anna coren is in the afghan capital of kabul to tell us about the protests there. good morning. >> reporter: hello, carol. as you were saying, these protests hit the streets earlier this morning here in kabul. 300 protesters trying to make their way to the u.s. embassy were stopped by police. they attacked the police and 15 of

carol? >> attorney general eric holder was found in contempt of congress because of this investigation. will this report end that investigation? >> no. that is a completely separate track. it's in the courts and a civil suit has been filed that, of course, will play out on its own. one of the key questions there is executive privilege and how much the administration can keep away from congress and its investigation. in all likelihood, they've tried to work out a negotiated solution because it's the kind of thing that could go on and on and on. >> joe johns reporting live from washington for us. >>> about 350,000 chicago-area kids will go back to school today after teachers voted last night to end their strike and to get classes started again. about 800 delegates for the teachers union. for just two hours before they decided to suspend the strike that's lasted for a full week. chicago mayor rahm emanual calls the contract, quote, an honest compromise. but what really went into that deal? kyun

with that, let's go to carol cost ello. "cnn newsroom" continues right now. carol? >>> and good morning to you. thank you for being with with us. i'm carol costello. we begin, of course, with breaking news. anti-american mob attacks embassy in libya. the white house confirms that u.s. ambassador to libya, j. christopher stevens, is dead along with three other staff members. a radical islamic group led the hours long siege in benghazi, libya. the militants were apparently enraged by a cheaply made online film considered offensive to islam. just last hour one libyan leader joined the international chorus in condemning the attack. >> translator: we apologize to the u.s. and to the american people, to the government and also to the rest of the world for what happened yesterday. and at the same time, we expect the world to cooperate with us in order to confront to what is meant out of this kind of cowardice, criminal act. >> that is the libyan ambassador -- i'm sorry, libyan prime minister. cnn foreign aaffairs reporter elise labott is at the state department. you've kno

carol? >> ok. so we'll get back to you to see how the stock market reacts later this morning. >>> now let's turn to the political impact. all week, democrats have been telling voters that president obama had the recovery on the right track, but this latest setback may make that argument a much harder sell. the top of the hour, the president leaves charlotte en route to portsmouth, new hampshire, and that's where we find our white house correspondent dan lothian. dan, how damaging to the president could this latest jobs report be? >> reporter: well, look, it had the numbers really been more positive than this, then you could argue that it would have moved the needle in a more significant way, especially coming out of the democratic national convention. the president could go out there on the campaign trail and say, look, we are making some significant gains. we expect that what we'll hear from the white house, though, is that there's still a lot of pain. there's still a lot of work to be done

i'm carol costello. we fwin with that bit of breaking news. dramatic efforts to tamp down some of the ugliest anti-american violence in the arab world. it comes at a critical time. protests have swept across a massive region, 11 countries in all, from morocco in the west to iran in the east. also knew this morning, a starting development. powerful religious group, the muslim brotherhood, has ordered nationwide demonstrations be canceled. rioting outside the capital, with more than 200 people injured. senior international correspondent ben wedeman is live in cairo. how significant is this intervention? >> reporter: it's significant in the sense that there were a lot of tension about the possibility that those nationwide demonstrations the muslim brotherhood called for could result in an escalation of violence. they were canceled. however, demonstrations go on. in fact, there are still several hundred young men, for the most part, outside a wall set up by egyptian security near the american embassy. they a
