Evidence that the Obama Administration ignored a rapidly deteriorating security situation in libya. Ambassador stevens wrote this cable in august. The absence of significant deterrence has contributed to a security vacuum that is being exploited by independent actors. What we have seen are not random crimes of opportunity but rather targeted and discriminate attacks. But Obamas Administration officials are saying that the documents dont tell the whole story. They also say the release of the unedited emails could endanger the lives of the libyans working with the u. S. There is a tense situation going on right now off the coast of israel. Overnight Israeli Soldiers stormed a ship headed for its coast. Passengers say they were trying to break the sea blockade of gaza thats been in effect since 2007. Sara sidner is in israel at the port where the ship is actually headed. Good morning. What happens to the ship and the people aboard once it does arrive there . Reporter randi, at this point in time what we know is just a couple hours ago, the Israeli Military did end up boarding the board called the estelle. Theres several members of people on that boat from parliament from countries such as sweden and norway, greece and spain. What we know is the boat has been commandeered by commandos and that boat is being towed into the port. That will take several hours as its slow going trying to get a boat that have size into the port. And we understand from the Israeli Military, who we just spoke to their spokesperson, who said there were no incidents of violence. This was a mostly peaceful operation and that nobody has been injured in this incident. You will remember that back in 2010 there was a much different situation with another boat. That boat filled with dozens of activists. Nine turkish activists were shot and killed by the Israeli Military as commandos stormed that boat. The Israeli Military said they had to use Excessive Force, they had to use force to protect themselv themselves, that they were first attacked. However, international community, including the u. N. Report, said that israel overdid it. They used Excessive Force on those who were on that boat, and that caused quite a controversy for a while. It also weakened relations between israel and turkey. Sara sidner in israel for us. Thank you very much for the update. 17 days left until the election, and the president ial campaigns are turning up the heat in the swing states today, though its the Vice President ial candidates doing all the talking. Republican vp candidate paul ryan will be at rallies in western pennsylvania and belmont, ohio. Vice President Joe Biden is holding an event inst augustine, florida. President obama is at camp david preparing for mondays debate and mitt romney is doing debate prep, but hell attend a fundraiser in palm beach, florida. More than 2 Million People have already cast their ballots in early voting. 23 states have already started. 11 more start next week. And when it comes to early voting the Obama Campaign has been boasting that they are winning. Romneys camp, however, says they are not. Cnns Political EditorPaul Steinhauser joins me now with more on this. Paul, do we know who is right here . Reporter yeah, exactly. The boasting coming from Vice President biden yesterday in florida. Democrats are happy. They are saying they are seeing early numbers, and they are very confident with what they are seeing in the early voting. Republicans are countering they see a lot more republicans registering to get absentee ballots or to vote early than compared to four years ago, victor. Whats the truth . Well, we really dont know because you dont know what the vote is right now. All you do know in some states whether its democrats or republicans voting early, but theres no guarantee that all the democrats voting early are casting votes for president obama and all republicans are casting ballots for mitt romney. As you mentioned 23 states, nevada today becoming that 23rd state to start a form of early voting. By election day we think a third of the people who are going to vote will have voted early. Victor . Both candidates enjoyed a night of white night and tails and maybe surf and turf together and then back to business, right . That Al Smith Dinner was a light moment. That was thursday night in new york city. Forget about that. Thats all over. Take a listen to both candidates yesterday on the campaign trail. If you say earlier in the year im going to give a tax cut to the top 1 and then in a debate you say i dont know anything about giving tax cuts to rich folks, thats you you need to yeah, you need to get a thermometer, take your temperature because youve probably got romnesia. They have been reduced to petty attacks and silly word games. Just watch it. The Obama Campaign has become the incredible shrinking campaign. This is this is a big country with big opportunities and great challenges, and they keep on talking about smaller and smaller things. I think youre going to hear a lot more a lot more of that, victor, between now and november 6th. As you mentioned, you wont hear much from the candidates this weekend. Basically both men under lock and key. Debate prep for mondays final president ial debate. That one is on foreign affairs, and that one will be held in florida. Victor . Thanks, paul. The third and final debate is money. Cnns live coverage starts at 7 00 p. M. Eastern. We have much more ahead this hour. Heres a look at whats coming up. Binders full of women, abortion rights, equal pay, but whats the number one concern of women voters this election . The answer may surprise you. They are the 8 to 10 who may decide the election.

Welcome back. There are now ifs, ands or buts about it. The president ial race between president obama and mitt romney is tight and extremely tight. Every vote counts, and with 17 days until the election, you can say the key voting bloc has become just 8 to 10 of voters. They are the uncommitted. The voters who have a preference but are still swaying, not completely convinced by president obama or mitt romney. That includes Jeremy Epstein who asked the first question at the debate. Jeremy, what is keeping you from committing to either the president or the governor . I think that im uncommitted because theres still another debate. Theres a lot of time before november 6th and i dont want to make a rash decision about this since this is my first election, and both these candidates have two different paths where they want to lead our country so i want to make an informed decision. For you, jeremy, is it education, is that the issue thats really hanging you up . Well, between education and the job rate for people who graduate college, i think thats very important to me. Okay. So the number one issue for most voters in this election and the past two elections actually is the economy. So lets start with what president obama and governor romney have said about jobs. The Unemployment Rate was 7. 8 when he took office, its 7. 8 now, but if you calculated that Unemployment Rate taking back the people who dropped out of the workforce, it would be 10. 7 . We have not made the progress we need to make to put people back to work. The most important thing we can do is to make sure that we are creating jobs in this country but not just jobs, good paying jobs, ones that can support a family, and what i want to do is build on the 5 million jobs that weve created over the last 30 month in the private sector alone. So do you worry that the president hasnt done enough, or do you worry that romney wont do any better . I think i would be more worried that mitt romney wont do any better considering where we are at right now for the economy, so i guess that would be my answer. Okay. Is this a matter of you liking both candidates . Because there are a lot of people, and im sure youve seen the saturday night live skit where they say who are the candidates and be specific. Youve seen the parodies. Is it that you have not picked one or you like one more than, you know, the other, or the lesser of two evils . Whats your decisionmaking process as it relates to the two men . Well, ive been telling people if i had to vote like today or tomorrow i think id vote for the incumbent, but i dont want to make a decision like this based off a once in a lifetime experience where i was up and close with both candidates and they were talking to me, so i just want to keep informed and try to really make a good decision about this. What about their personalities . Does that weigh in at all, or is it strict lit issues for you . Well, i think im in a weird position because i do know both of their personalities from being up close with them. Im trying to keep that out of my decisionmaking process because that shouldnt influence me or anybody elses decision whether or not you like a candidate personally. It should be what are they going to do for the country . One more shot to see the two candidates, the president and governor romney, on stage together. The third debate, Foreign Policy. How important is Foreign Policy in your decision . I think its very important because mitt romney has been attacked by the Obama Campaign for not having a lot of Foreign Policy experience, and i think in a few polls hes actually made up quite a bit of points because of that, and i think thats one of the most important things because Foreign Policy in this country is important because romney if hes going to lead our country, he should know a lot about it, and i think thats one of the most important things about my decision and thats why i think i remain uncommitted. So you have 17 days. Im sure you well know, to make up your mind. Will you still vote on election day if youre undecided and just be a decision right there in the voting booth . No. Im going to make a decision beforehand. Im just uncommitted because theres another debate and i want to stay informed. I dont want to make, like i said, i dont want to make a rash decision after what great experience i was able to have. Do you think that the people who have voted early, millions and millions of them have, do you think they are wrong for voting weeks before election day . No. Before the debates even . No, because if they feel like their mind is entrenched and they dont want to change their mind or if they feel like this candidate is better than that candidate, they should vote. They have the right, and i think thats good if they made up their mind. I just havent made up mine. Listen, we wish you luck in making up your mind. Jeremy epstein, thank you so much. Thank you. And well hear from more uncommitted voters and whats holding up their vote in the next hour. Kids having kids and bringing them to school. Guess who is paying for it . Well explain.

She is the pakistani schoolgirl activist who was shot in the head by the taliban, and shes showing signs of a remarkable recovery. Heres her doctor. Shes doing very well. In fact, she was standing with some help for the first time this morning when i went in to see her. Shes communicating very freely. Shes writing. She has a tracheostomy tube in because her airway was swollen by the by the path route of the bullet, so in order to protect her airway she has a tracheotomy tube in so shes not able to talk though we have no reason to believe she wont be able to talk when the tube is out which may be in the next few days. Doctors also point out that she has a long way to go and is not out of the woods just yet. And we have more on that devastating car bombing in lebanon. It happened during rush hour in beiruts thats the capital of the country. The blast tore balconies off apartments. Left rows of mangled cars and charred buildings. Now a top lebanese intelligence official known for his antisyria stance was killed in the massive explosion. More than 100 people were injured. Nick payton walsh has been covering the story for us and joins us now from beirut. Are the lebanese officials blaming syria for this blast, and, really, how fearful are they that syrian president Bashar Al Assad is now going to come after them . Reporter its not lebanese officials making those claims at all. There are some people from the prowestern coalition here that mr. Wissam al hassan was aligned to. Syria itself has condemned the blast, as has syrias ally here in lebanon, hezbollah. Its a complicated political mixture here, victor. Were really talking about many people who historically blame syria for the problems inside lebanon pointing the finger at this point. The evidence isnt particularly strong. As i say syria deny it, but its the historical legacy here that makes many people feel that syria are to blame. Many for themselves fearing for their own lives. We heard from one key lebanese power broker, part of the Government Coalition. Lets hear what he had to say. When you see what hes doing with his own people, after 18 months, 19 months, killing people, destroying cities, kidnapping people, torturing people, can you not but realize that hes taking revenge. He took revenge on Wissam Hassan because wissam discovered a plot. Reporter its going to be difficult for the authorities to point a finger clearly at any particular group given how complex investigations have proven here in the past, but whats happening with the blame game its amplifying uncertainty here. Its amplifying fears amongst lebanese of continued retaliation or reprisals. Just seen today this morning out on the street on the main road to the airport angry sunni youth from affiliations close to Wissam Al Hassan, protesting his death along a major security front line in the city, causing concerns that the protests could continue and destabilize the capital here. Real concerns about that. Victor . Again, we reported that an official known for the antisyria stance was killed in this explosion. Have we heard from others who have that antisyrian stance, and do they think they are also in danger . Reporter absolutely. As i said, we just heard from john platt wblatt who himself s was concerned about his own safety. We went to his residence about an hour outside the city. He said he himself did not feel safe. He believed the murders
