tapes were deliberately misleading have been drowned out in the clamor. hello, again, everybody. i'm rick sanchez, this is the next generation of news, this is a conversation, it's not a speech, it's your turn to get involved. and before we do anything, as you just saw, we have got breaking news that's going on right now. information has just come into cnn, we have learned that a letter has been delivered to the obama administration. this is a letter from no less than seven former directors of the cia. you know what i can do, i can list them for you, it's james schlesinger. it's william webster, james woolsey, john deutch, porter goss, michael hayden. these men are asking the obama administration to stop investigating allegations of torture during the bush administration. back in august, the current attorney general, eric holder, he appointed independent counsel to dig into evidence of potential abuse, so this is what they are now responding to. it's certainly something that's going to be taken seriously the administration. we hope to get their reaction, in the meantime, there are another story that we're following for you on this day. you have been talking about the campus of yale university, the attack there, your e-mails, your tweets, your commenting on my blog, almost all of you speaking about the brutality in the killing of annie le, but also wondering if the same thing could happen where you work? yes it could. you know people are calling this workplace violence. what about the possibility of a personal or emotional relationship between this man, raymond clark, and annie le. pat brown a criminal profiler believes this is the result of a man being obsessed over a woman. i heard you say that no one just snaps like this. what do you mean. >> what happens in these instances, people like to jump and say, the guy snapped. he was a great guy yesterday, he's always been a great guy. no one's ever found a thing wrong with the guy and suddenly he's a killer. i can't imagine any circumstance that i would do such a thing, kill somebody, except maybe if they're in the middle of raping my child, i might shoot them in the head, if they were in the process of doing it. i wouldn't go, oh, gee, you didn't deliver my mail on time so i'm going to kill the mailman. this is isn't about the cleanliness of a cage, this is about him. >> it just sickens me because when something like this happens the people they're attacking, are our mothers, my daughter, my wife. it's incredible. i have been drawn to the fact and i'm wondering what your take is on this. i have been braun to the fact in this case that he had sent her a message on the very same day he met her, which happens to be just a couple of days before she was scheduled to get married. what do you make of that. >> well, we're not going to know all of the actuality of everything unless something comes out that we don't know because he's not going to tell us the truth. his defense lawyers are not going to tell us the truth. we have seen some issues in the past, we don't have them all substantiated, we have the ex-girlfriend in high school said that he forced sex on her, and she was terrified of him. we have heard some stories of neighbors that she was very controlling. my guess is that he wanted to get annie in that room with him, possibly because he was in love with her and she was about to go marry another guy. psychopaths have to pick on somebody smaller. here's a brilliant, bright woman. she's like the trophy, the cheerleader, i'm not going to get her. she doesn't give me the time of day, i have been thinking about her, she never thinks about me. annie le doesn't have to know what's going on in his little mind. the day before her wedding, see? somebody else always gets the girl and i don't. >> this is like property, i own it, and if i can't have it, i'm going to destroy it. that's really scary, it leads us to this whole notion of fatal attraction, and if we know that he did send her in fact a message, he set up a meeting with her. >> right. >> which makes us think there was something more going on here. >> most people are -- first of all, this is his job, he's spoedsed to clean the cages, and secondly, there's lots of other people in the department he could be angry at. >> you're absolutely right. i can't possibly buy that this man snapped because the floor was dirty or the cages were dirty. i don't buy it. >> back in high school, he joined an asian club. if he is psychopathic, he did it for a reason. my guess is he joined that gr-- asian people are going to be sweeter, nicer, they're going to control them better. it's my guess he went there to find women. and annie le happens to be asian. and that's his little prize that he wanteds and he can't have it. that's why serial killers kill too, they say i'm losing and i'm going to prove myself, and when you're strangling that woman, you didn't respect me, and you didn't give me the time of day, but when you're looking in your eyes, they know you're god. annie le is not going to have any of the things she wanted to have because i'm going to kill her. >> especially when you take us through the strangling as an act. i want to ask you something, because we're going to do another story later. this is another case of a man who police say beat up an african-american woman. this whole idea of men beating women, those of us who have been taught and raised to never lift a hand against a woman. what is this all about? why would they do that? >> it's interesting. i think it's just the human condition. i think all humans, if they don't feel good about themselves, want to take it out on somebody else. but you can't take it out on somebody that's the same size as you. men take it out on other men. women, take it out on little children. some people say, that woman, she just hates men, i had that e-mail already come in today. i'm like, no, there's a lot of wonderful men out there who treat women extremely well. but when certain men feel like they can't measure up. they'll befriend men, from i hear, ray clark was just wonderful to the guys he was around when he was in high school, but the woman he was with, said, wait a minute, he forced sex on me. i was scared of him. so the men he was sucking up to and the women, he's saying they have to kowtow to me and how come they're not doing it. . democrats in nine short months have made us look like ebenezer scrooge on welfare. >> there you go, it's called the values voters summit. we're covering this summit today. and it's an important and admiral event. but is it a political event? also she was viciously beaten in front of her small daughter, now new developments, this is a story i mentioned just a while ago with pat brown, there are new developments in what authorities are investigating as a hate crime on an african-american woman at a cracker barrel. we'll will all over it. also remember the after show today after the show at 4:00. welcome back, i'm rick sanchez, i want you to take a look at this guy right here. that's troy west, he's accused of beating and screaming racial slurs at a woman, a mom, when she asked him to be careful when he pushed the door and almost hit her daughter, her 7-year-old. this was at a cracker barrel restaurant right outside of atlanta. reporters have been flocking to this town in georgia and talking to the locals there. watch what his cousin had to say. >> if you asked me why he hit a woman, if you ask me, he was provoked. it might not come out that way, but i have never known troy to hit anybody. >> reporter: but does that make it okay? >> that's everybody's own deal, but if a woman huts herself in a man's shoes, sometimes i would say yeah. >> if a woman puts herself in a man's shoes, sounds a lot like the conversation we had just moments ago with pat brown. and you got to love the swing. shortly after victim tasha hill and her attorney sat down and talked to me on this show yesterday, cracker barrel has given us a new statement and we thank them for it. take a look at this map. cracker barrel has restaurants in 41 states across the united states and it says it has banned troy west from all of its eateries. for life. how they'll do this, we don't know, but cracker barrel goes on to say it will continue to cooperate with authorities, because, quote, we want justice to be served quickly. the next helping is a court hearing next thursday. i'm going to serve the truth up to the perpetrator of what is really a bald-faced lie. fox news, i hope that you're listening. with little responsibility, zero accountability. our parents telling us what to do... how to behave. now, all of a sudden, we're there, in that role, at that time in our lives where everyone and everything is depending on us. it's a scary feeling, but it's also a good one. especially when i'm confident someone's there for me. but now that i'm breathing better with advair... i can enjoy the zoo with my grandkids. (announcer) for people with copd including chronic bronchitis, emphysema, or both, great news. advair helps significantly improve lung function. while nothing can reverse copd, advair is different from most other medications because it contains both an anti-inflammatory and a long-acting bronchodilator working together to help you breathe better. advair won't replace fast-acting inhalers for sudden symptoms and should not be use more than twice a day. people with copd taking advair may have a higher chance of pneumonia. advair may increase your risk of osteoporosis and some eye problems. tell your doctor if you have a heart condition or high blood pressure before taking advair. we had a great day, grandpa! we sure did. ask your doctor how advair helps improve lung function for better breathing.

i don't know, but i've got a couple of ideas. fox news ran a color ad today, it asks, how did nbc, cnbc, msnbc and cnn miss this story? they are saying we did not cover this story. they are using a line to try and divide people into camps and, you know, americans are starting to get tired of this. look at the bottom of the ad there, that says we cover all the news. really? you do? what? we don't? that's an offense to myself and to my colleagues who risked their lives for our viewers in iraq and afghanistan and around the world to break the news. they're actually telling people that we didn't cover a rally on washington. really? roger, roll the tape. >> a march and rally happening in washington. our paul stein hauser is there with who appears to be a whole lot of friends gathering around you now. >> about two hours from now, they're going to march behind us down pennsylvania avenue to the u.s. capitol, and that's where they'll gather at the west side of the capital. >> am i crazy or did i just watch cnn's paul steinhauser covering the story? >> we check in with cnn's kate bolduan live at the capital. >> there's so many people stuck here trying to make it. these people are all coming from freedom plaza. >> that was cnn's kate bolduan. here's another one. >> joined now by cnn radio capitol hill correspondent lisa dejar din. >> what do you think of congressman joe wilson? so there are people here who strongly support congressman wilson and many of them are right here. >> call me crazy, but that sure looked like our cnn radio's lisa dejardin. 30 rallies along the tea party express rout from coast to coast the last couple of weeks, here it is. >> jim spellman traveled with the tea party express as it made its way across the country. the. >> the bulk of the people who are there for low taxes, less government control, and there really is an element that's got these outlandish conspiracy theories about death camps and it's not just a couple of people on the edges. >> all right, i want you to see more proof now and this is really just an unbelievable coincidence that i want you to see. you see that picture in the ad that they took out? okay, pay attention to that picture right there on the right. that's the ad that they took out saying we didn't cover the event. all right, now, keep an eye on that picture right there, you see the canadian flag? that's on their ad, see the canadian flag right there at the bottom? let me show you this, see the thing on the left now? that's our tower cam shot of the event. that we used repeatedly throughout those shows. funny how you can say that we didn't cover an event by using that picture, that picture that looks an awful lot like our tower cam shot, doesn't it? and you used it in your ad saying that we didn't cover the story. by the way, if you want even more proof of our coverage, maybe you should just watch our own shows. here's a good one you should watch. this is a show on fox news called "the o'reilly factor." here's bill o'reilly doing a segment called reality check. >> cnn covered the anti-obama protests of course, but ran into a little trouble. >> cnn covered the event. there it is. this is bill o'reilly showing us covering a story you say we didn't cover. let me give that to you again. that was bill o'reilly showing cnn's coverage of a story that fox news says we didn't coffer. hmm. can you see -- can you say reality check mate? >> cnn has we covered covered the anti-obama protests, of course, but ran into a little trouble. >> here's the fact, we did cover the event. what we didn't do is promote the event. just like when thousands marched on washington to protest the war in iraq, we covered it as well, probably less than we covered this event. but we didn't promote it. bottom line is, we do cover the news. and we did extensively cover this event. we didn't promote the event, that's not what real news organizations are supposed to do. we covered the event. i would invite you to look into that distinction between those two words, promote and cover. cover is kind of like a fair and balanced way of doing things, you get it? you might want to look into that. it's about letting americans make up their own minds, let me cut to the chase, when thousands of americans showed up at the nation's capitol to protest big government, we covered it, with four correspondents, two satellite trucks, multiple live interviews, lawmakers on the record and conversations with attendees. by the way, we put a call into fox news for a comment and we expect an apology. but we're still waiting. let me address the fox news network now. perhaps the most current way that i can, by quoting somebody who recently used a very pithy phrase. two words. it's all i need. you lie. these days, when you have to spend, shopping online can help save. doing it with bank of america can help save a lot more. up to 20% cash back from over 300 online retailers with our add it up program. just sign up and use your bank of america debit or credit card when you shop online. it's one of the many ways we make saving money in tough times a whole lot easier. >> cnn needs to put out an ad, how did fox news miss all the other networks that covered that same news. and let's go over to myspace. hey, rick, nail them, a lack of integrity is so pervasive in our culture and is a trend that should be reversed. there's a saying that goes something like this, when you've got a man down, just keep kicking. today a.c.o.r.n. is continuing to get kicked. in fact now it's getting down right brutal. mike johanns has an amendment slamming a.c.o.r.n. and the amendments passed overwhelmingly. i myself, peppered, prepared and executed what was a very confrontational interview with the ceo of a.c.o.r.n., where bertha lewis clearly took issue with some of the questions i asked and responded in kind. >> the video is still there and we still see these people doing and saying these things, so you could say anything you want to say about your attackers. but in the end, the evidence is what's hurting the credibility of your conversation. how do you respond to that? >> well, i'll repeat it again in case you didn't understand me the first time. >> okay. >> these people were terminated, we took immediate action, regardless, it is unacceptable and never met our professional standards. >> all right, it's hard for me as a journalist to not press her after seeing the obvious, obvious lapses of judgment and ethics by her workers caught on camera, telling a filmmaker posing as a pimp how to hide his money from the government. and the kicks to the ahead have come in a steady stream. yesterday house republicans attached an a.c.o.r.n. amendment to a student loan amendment. look who joined in, liberals like patrick kennedy, john conyers, george miller, patrick kennedy? all three voted against a.c.o.r.n., along with 169 other democrats. earth to a.c.o.r.n., the fact is your days are starting to look look they could possibly be numbered. those are the facts. that's the news. but as wrong as a.c.o.r.n.'s workers were in that videotape and with as much heat as they're getting, as much money as they're losing, should we not also ask questions of the filmmakers who seem to have bought them down? that's an important question, questions like where is the rest of that video that a.c.o.r.n. says will actually exonerate them? questions like could you have possibly have misrepresented yourself as something you were not in those videos? why did you report on account of a murder without checking it out. these are all things that would have cost me my job had i done them working here at this news consideration. in fact the network that is showing this video the most actually castigated dan rather for doing something that could be argued was perhaps even less than this. but here's the final an most important question, if you stand by your decisions, filmmakers, your reporting and your video, then why won't you come forward and answer questions? we have invited you. the picture of a.c.o.r.n. workers giving illegal advice is wrong, and it has as such been reported. but one can't help but to begin to wonder what else may be wrong with this picture. my blog is cnn.com/ricksanchez. coming up, the values on voters summit. stay with us. in new aveeno positively ageless multidefense. a combination of a high spf and powerful antioxidants... designed to reduce lines and wrinkles in just 4 weeks. new from aveeno. he better not be on the bed. you know you're gonna need it. why not stock up now?

>> i'm doing just fine. >> what do we mean by values? what is a values summit? >> our democracy, our culture is based on some fundamental values, one of the most salient being freedom. so when you have freedom at risk from the size,
