. >>> a lawsuit filed last year against former defense secretary donald rumsfeld and robert gates has been dismissed. it excused the two men of fostering a culture which allows rapists to succeed in the military. the lawsuit was filed by 28 military members and veterans who say they were punished for filing complaints against their attackers. two of the accusers said they were raped while deployed and the attacks were videotaped and photographed. when reading his decision, judge o'grady said while the allegations are troubling, the judiciary cannot intervene in military discipline and an appeal is expect. >>> later today, the senate is expected to approve a $662 billion military funding bill. the same bill was approved last night in the house. it provides money from the men and women of the military as well as the weapons systems and the millions of jobs they generate. the bill also ensures the president can prosecute terror suspects in the civilian justice system. >> the republican presidential candidate go ahead to head tonight in their final debate together before the iowa caucuses
