TONIGHT ON "NEWSWATCH" ATTACK
IN BENGHAZI.
LIBYAN OFFICIALS SAY IT WAS
PLANNED.
ADMINISTRATION OFFICIALS SAY IT
WAS SPONTANEOUS.
WE HAVE ANALYSIS ON WHAT REALLY
SPARKED THE VIOLENCE. PLUS
ELECTION 2012.
WHY MITT ROMNEY IS STANDING BY A
CONTROVERSIAL STATEMENT HE MADE
ABOUT OBAMA VOTERS.
AND THE FACE OF MODERN ISLAM.
EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW OF THE
GRANDSON BEHIND MUSLIM
BROTHERHOOD.
GOOD EVENING I AM LEE WEB.
AND I AM WENDY GRIFFITH.
WE BEGIN WITH THE MIDDLE EAST
WHERE ANGER AND VIOLENCE
CONTINUES.
MARK MARTIN HAS THE
EXCLUSIVE.
A MASSIVE CAR BOMB TOOK THE
LIVES OF SEVERAL.
IT WAS IN ATTACK OVER REVENGE
OVER THE ANTI-ISLAM FILM.
IS THAT FILM WHAT IS MOTIVATING
THESE PROTESTS?
A CAR FILLED WITH EXPLOSIVES
RAMMED INTO A MINIVAN KILLING
MANY.
IT IS REALLY BAD THIS MAN SAYS.
IT IS HARD TO THINK ABOUT.
AN INSURGENT CLAIMS A FEMALE
BOMBER WAS BEHIND THE ATTACK.
AFGHANISTAN IS INTO THE SECOND
DAY OF PROTESTS.
NATO IS CHANGING STRATEGY ON THE
BATTLEFIELD IN RESPONSE TO THE
HUGE NUMBER OF SO-CALLED INSIDER
ATTACKS.
NATO COMMANDERS CLAIM THIS
STRATEGY IS ONLY TEMPORARY.
I DON'T THINK THESE ATTACKS
INDICATE THAT THE TALIBAN IS
STRONGER.
DOES ALL THE RECENT ANGER AND
VIOLENCE ACROSS THE MUSLIM WORLD
WHICH BEGAN ON 9/11 STEM
ENTIRELY TO THE ANTIISLAM FILM?
OR COORDINATED ATTACKS BY
AL-QAEDA?
INTELLIGENCE SOURCE ON THE
GROUND IN LIBYA SAYS THERE WAS
NO PROTEST IN BENGHAZI PRIOR TO
LAST WEEK'S ATTACK WHICH TOOK
THE LIVES OF SEVERAL INCLUDING
THE U.S. AMBASSADOR.
THAT CHALLENGE THE OBAMA
ADMINISTRATION'S CLAIMS IT WAS
SPONTANEOUS AGAINST THE
ANTI-ISLAM FILM.
THE SOURCE IT WAS PLANNED AND
NOTHING TO DO WITH THE MOVIE.
ERICK STAKELBECK CALLED BENGHAZI
A AL-QAEDA HOT SPOT.
FOR THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION
TO CONTINUE TO ARGUE THESE WERE
SPONTANEOUS, ONE DAY BEFORE THE
ATTACKS ON SEPTEMBER 10TH I MAN
AL-ZAWARI CALLED FOR ATTACKS IN
LIBYA.
ONE DAY LATER WE SEE THE
ATTACKS.
LEE, THE RISING GAS PRICES
HERE AT HOME.
PRICES USUALLY DECLINE AFTER
LABOR DAY.
THEY HAVE BEEN STEADILY RISING
AND STAND AT AN AVERAGE OF $3.87
A GALLON.
NINA SHAY DIRECTS THE CENTER
FOR RELIGIOUS FREEDOM AT THE
HUDSON INSTITUTE.
LET ME GET YOUR TAKE?
THERMAN NIP LATED BY
POLITICAL FORCES.
THEY ARE SLAW HAU MUSLIMS VYING
FOR POWER BY MORE LIBERAL
FORCES.
THIS IS HOW THEY SHOW THEIR
POWER.
THIS IS HOW THEY SHOW THEIR
POPULARITY.
SENSE OF OFFENSE IS REAL AMONG
THE EGYPTIAN PEOPLE.
BUT THESE LEADERS DO MANIPULATE
THAT FEELING.
THIS WAS ORCHESTRATED IN LIBYA.
WE KNOW THAT FROM THE LIBYAN
GOVERNMENT AND THE FACTS.
IN EGYPT, MOHAMMED ZAWARI AND
BROTHER OF IMAN WHO REPLACED
OSAMA BIN LADEN.
THEY HAVE GOALS BEYOND PROTESTS.
THEY SAY THESE LEADERS
MANIPULATE THE POPULATION, HOW?
THROUGH THE MOSQUE, THE
MEDIA.
THEY DO IN THE IN THE
NEIGHBORHOOD LEVEL.
OF TEN EXAGGERATE THE OFFENSE,
AMERICAN GOVERNMENT IS
RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS YOUTUBE
FILM.
THEY HEIGHTEN TENSION AND ANGER.
EGYPT HAS ORDERS ARREST OF
SEVEN U.S. BASED COPTIC
CHRISTIANS FOR THEIR ALLEGED
INVOLVEMENT OF THE ANTI-ISLAM
FILM AND FOR PASTOR TERRY JONES
HOW IS INTERPOL RESPONDING TO
THIS?
OBAMA ADMINISTRATION HAS
RESPONDED WEAKLY SO FAR.
THEY HAVE GIVEN THE SIGNAL THEY
CAN AND WILL REGULATE SPEECH ON
BEHALF OF ISLAM ON AMERICA.
OUR FIRST AMEND PROTECTS FREE
SPEECH, EVEN WHEN SOME PEOPLE
FIND IT OFFENSIVE OR INSULTING.
EVEN WHEN THE OFFENDED PARTY
GETS VIOLENT, THE FIRST
AMENDMENT PROTECTS FREE SPEECH.
INSTEAD OF COMING OUT WITH THE
STRONG DEFENSE AND EXPLAINING
FREE SPEECH, WHY IT IS SO
CRITICAL, SO IMPORTANT TO
DEMOCRACY, OUR PRESIDENT AND HIS
ADMINISTRATION HAVE POSTED ON
THE U.S. EMBASSY WEBSITE THEY
THINK THIS IS AN ABUSE OF FREE
SPEECH, THEY HAVE ORDER AN
INVESTIGATION OF THE PROMO TOS
AND PRODUCERS OF THE FILM.
FBI HAS BEEN QUESTIONING ONE OF
THE COPS INVOLVED.
MILITARY COMMANDERS HAVE BEEN
CALLING PASTOR TERRY JONES FOR A
COUPLE OF YEARS NOW.
ALL THIS GIVES A SIGNAL THAT THE
AMERICAN GOVERNMENT REGULATES
SPEECH ON BEHALF OF ISLAM.
IN FACT, WE DON'T REGULATE
SPEECH ON BEHALF OF ANY RELIGION
OR ANYBODY OF IDEAS.
ISLAM IS A BODY OF IDEAS.
IT IS NOT JUST SYMBOLS.
WE HAVE -- WE HAVE SEEN THAT IN
OTHER COUNTRIES. NINA SHAY,
THANK YOU FOR BEING WITH US.
WE APPRECIATE YOUR INSIGHTS.
THANK YOU, LEE.
TURNING TO THE RACE FOR THE
WHITE HOUSE, THE OBAMA
ADMINISTRATION CALLS THEM
SHOCKING.
MITT ROMNEY IS NOT APOLOGIZING
FOR COMMENTS HE MADE CRITICIZING
SOME OBAMA SUPPORTERS.
VIDEO CLICK OF THE STATEMENT
RELEASED BY A LEFT-LEANING
MAGAZI
MAGAZINE.
NOW THE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE IS
UNDER FIRE.
47 PERCENT BELIEVE THEY ARE
VICTIMS AND THE GOVERNMENT HAS A
RESPONSIBILITY AND BELIEVE THEY
ARE ENTITLED TO HEALTH CARE, TO
FOOD, HOUSING. THE LIBERAL
MOTHER JONES MAGAZINE RELEASED
THAT CLIP ALONG WITH SEVERAL
OTHERS.
SOMEONE SECRETLY FILMED THE
VIDEO AND MAGAZINE ONLY RELEASED
A PORTION.
EDITORS SHOW THAT THAT IS THE
WAY HE TRULY FEELS AND VOTERS
THAT DON'T PAY INCOME TAXES.
ROMNEY EXPLAINED THE TAPE AT
A NEWS CONFERENCE MONDAY.
I AM TALKING ABOUT THE
POLITICAL PROCESS OF DRAWING
PEOPLE INTO MY CAMPAIGN.
OF COURSE INDIVIDUALS ARE GOING
TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR
LIFE.
MY CAMPAIGN IS ABOUT THOSE
BECOMING EMPLOYED AGAIN.
THIS WHOLE CAMPAIGN IS FOCUSSED
ON GETTING PEOPLE JOBS AGAIN.
PUTTING PEOPLE BACK TO WORK.
OBAMA CAMPAIGN CRITICIZED
ROMNEY'S COMMENTS.
CAMPAIGN MANAGER SAYS IT IS
SHOCKING, A CANDIDATE FOR
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
WOULD GO BEHIND DOORS AND
DECLARE TO A GROUP OF WEALTHY
DONORS, HALF OF THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE VIEW THEMSELVES AS
VICTIMS AND UNWILLING TO TAKE
PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR
THEIR LIVES.
THE CLIPS MISSED THE CONTEXT.
THIS IS ABOUT DIRECTION FOR
THE COUNTRY.
DO YOU BELIEVE IN A
GOVERNMENT-CENTERED SOCIETY THAT
PROVIDES MORE AND MORE BENEFITS
OR A FREE ENTERPRISE SOCIETY
WHERE PEOPLE ARE ABLE TO PURSUE
THEIR DREAMS.
I BELIEVE THE LADDER WILL HELP
MORE PEOPLE GET MORE JOBS.
EFREM GRAHAM, CBN NEWS.
ROMNEY MADE THE STATEMENT 47
PERCENT OF THE AMERICANS ARE
WITH PRESIDENT OBAMA AND
DEPENDENT ON THE GOVERNMENT.
WALL STREET JOURNAL DISCOVERED
AN INTERESTING FACT.
IN THE SECOND QUARTER OF LAST
YEAR, 49 PERCENT OF AMERICANS
LIVED IN A HOUSE HOLD WHERE AT
LEAST ONE MEMBER RECEIVED A
GOVERNMENT BENEFIT.
THAT IS UP ALMOST FIVE PERCENT
FROM FOUR YEARS AGO.
A NEW REPORT SAYS SUBSTANCE
REPORTS AMONG TROOPS AND
FAMILIES HAS BECOME A QUOTE
PUBLIC HEALTH CRISIS.
PENTAGONS METHODS FOR DEALING
WITH IT ARE OUT OF DATE.
ABOUT 20 PERCENT OF ACTIVE DUTY
SERVICE MEMBERS ENGAGED IN HEAVY
DRINKING.
FIVE OR MORE DRINKS A DAY.
THEY FOUND OVER A 10-YEAR
PERIOD, BINGE DRINKING INCREASED
45-47 PERCENT, FIVE OR MORE
DRINKS AT ONE SITTING AND FOUR
OR MORE FOR WOMEN.
DEFENSE OFFICIALS ARE LOOKING
INTO THE REPORT.
COMING UP, A SALTY SHOW DOWN.
TIPS ON HOW TO CUT SODIUM OUT OF
YOUR DIET.
KIDS ACROSS THE COUNTRY ARE
EATING TOO MUCH SALT ACCORDING
TO A NEW STUD BY THE CENTERS OF
DISEASE CONTROL.
15 PERCENT OF THE KIDS STUDIED
HAD HIGH OR SLIGHTLY ELEVATED
BLOOD PRESSURE OFTEN LINKED TO
OBESITY.
EXPERTS WARN HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE
PUTS KIDS IN DANGER OF
CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE LATER ON
IN LIFE.
BOTH CHILDREN AND ADULTS SHOULD
CONSUME NO MORE THAN ONE
TEASPOON OF SALT A DAY.
THAT IS A CHALLENGE BECAUSE
SALT IS IN ALMOST ALL THE THINGS
WE EAT.
LORIE JOHNSON HAS ADVICE.
HEART DISEASE KILLS SOMEONE IN
AMERICA EVERY 23 SECONDS.
HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE IS OFTEN THE
CULPRIT WHICH CAN BE CAUSED BY
TOO MUCH SODIUM.
THEY LINK SALT TO CANCER,
DIABETES, DEMENTIA AND KIDNEY
DISEASE.
ACCORDING TO HEATHER JONES,
AUTHOR OF "THE SALT SOLUTION"
SAYS IT CAN ALSO MAKE YOU FAT.
THEY THINK ABOUT CUTTING
CARBS AND CALORIES.
THEY SHOULD CUT SALT, TOO.
IT TRIGGERS DOPAMINE,
NEUROTRANSMITTED ASSOCIATED WITH
PLEASURE.
SODIUM BOOSTS INSULIN PRODUCTION
WHICH CAN LEAD TO WEIGHT GAIN
AND SALT INCREASES THIRST WHICH
WOULDN'T BE SO BAD IF WE TURN TO
WATER.
MOST PEOPLE REACH FOR HIGH
CALORIE DRINKS.
GOVERNMENT RECOMMENDS
CONSUMING 1500 MILLIGRAMS OF
SALT A DAY WHICH IS 2/3 OF A
TEASPOON.
MOST AMERICANS CONSUME MORE THAN
TWICE THAT AMOUNT.
WHERE IS ALL THIS SALT COMING
FROM?
80 PERCENT FROM PROCESSED
FOODS.
SALT PRESERVES FOOD AND ADDS
FLAVOR.
ONE SERVING OF MANY CANNED
SOUPS, SAUCES, LUNCH MEAT AND
PACKAGED FOODS CAN CONTAIN MORE
THAN THE FULL DAY'S SALT INTAKE.
SHANNON FERRY LOVED SALTY
FOODS BUT AFRAID OF WHAT THEY
WERE DOING TO HER.
MY MOM HAD TRIPLE BYPASS
SURGERY AT 44.
MY GRANDMOTHER DIED AT 45.
IT IS IN MY FAMILY HISTORY.
THAT IS A BIG THING.
SHE TRIED THE SALT SOLUTION
PLAN AND LOST 18 POUNDS AND 11
INCHES.
IF YOU THINK YOU CAN'T LIVE
WITHOUT SALTY FOODS, THINK
AGAIN.
IF YOU GO WITHOUT THEM A LITTLE
WHILE, YOU STOP WANTING THEM.
HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN?
WE CAN LITERALLY TRAIN OUR TASTE
BUDS.
EACH ONE CONTAINS 100 RECEPTOR
CELLS WHICH ONLY LIVES ABOUT TWO
WEEKS AND THEN REPLACED.
FOR THE FIRST TWO WEEKS OF THE
SALT SOLUTION PLAN, YOU CUT OUT
ALL SODIUM.
PLUS DURING THAT TIME, YOU LOAD
UP ON FOODS LIKE SPINACH,
BANANAS, ALMONDS AND MILK.
THEY CONTAIN KEY MINERALS THAT
CLEANSE THE BODY OF SALT.
SODIUM, MAGNESIUM, POTASSIUM
WORK TOGETHER.
WAY TOO MUCH OF THE SALT AND NOT
NEAR ENOUGH OF THE OTHER THREE.
LIVING A LOW SALT LIFE STYLE
IS LONG TERM CHANGES, FEWER FAST
FOOD STOPS AND COOKING FROM HOME
WITH NON-PROCESSED INGREDIENTS
AND SEASONING WITH SPICES OTHER
THAN SALT.
I WOULD TAKE A SUNDAY
AFTERNOON AND LOOK THROUGH THE
PLAN AND SORT OF PLAN OUT MY
LUNCHES AND BREAKFASTS AND GET
THEM ALL READY.
PREPARE THEM AHEAD OF TIME AND
PUT THEM AWAY IN CONTAINERS.
I COULD GRAB IT FROM THE FRIDGE.
WHEN YOU EAT OUT, ASK THE
CHEF TO HOLD THE SALT.
WHEN SHOPPING, DON'T BELIEVE
EVERYTHING YOU READ.
LOW SODIUM LABELS CAN BE
MISLEADING.
LOOK AT THE NUTRITION FACTS AND
DO A LITTLE MATH.
EVERY 100 GRAMS OF FOOD SHOULD
CONTAIN LESS THAN 120 MILLIGRAMS
OF SODIUM.
SEA SALT IS HEAVILY MARKETED AS
A HEALTHY ALTERNATIVE TO TABLE
SALT.
IT DOES CONTAIN ADDITIONAL
MINERALS, DON'T GO OVERBOARD.
NO MATTER WHAT KIND OF SALT, FOR
GOOD HEALTH, EAT ITTED IN SMALL
DOSES.
LORIE JOHNSON, CBN NEWS.
UP NEXT Z HE IS THE GRANDSON
OF THE FOUNDER OF THE MUSLIM
BROTHERHOOD.
SO WHAT IS HE DOING IN THE U.S.?
FIND OUT AFTER THIS.
HIS GRAND FATDER STARTED THE
MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD AND FATHER
SPREAD ITS RADICAL WORD
THROUGHOUT THE WORLD.
THE APPLE DOESN'T FALL FAR FROM
THE TREE.
AS THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD
TIGHTENS ITS GRIP ON EGYPT,
WESTERN GOVERNMENTS ARE TRYING
TO GET THEIR HAND ON THIS
RADICAL GROUP.
TA REEK FACES THE CIRCUMSTANCES.
I AM THE GRANDSON OF THE
MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD.
HIS FAMILY LINEAGE GIVES
RAMADAN INSTANT -- HIS FATHER
SIGH YEED HELPED LEAD THE
MOVEMENT.
IN A RECENT INTERVIEW, HE DENIED
ANY INVOLVEMENT WITH THE MUSLIM
BROTHERHOOD.
I AM NOT A MEMBER.
NEVER WAS A MEMBER.
STILL HE PRAISES HIS
FOREFATHER'S WORK AND NOTHING IN
THIS HERITAGE HE REJECTS.
IT WAS SIGH YEED RAMADAN IN
THE WEST.
NOW HIS SON TA REEK RAMADAN IS
CARRYING ON THE LEGACY.
RAMADAN IS A FAVORITE OF THE
EUROPEAN LEFT.
THE SWISS-BORN SCHOLAR PROMOTES
A MODERN EUROPEAN VERSION OF
ISLAM.
HE SAYS ISLAMIC SHARIA LAW IS
COMPATIBLE WITH THE U.S.
CONSTITUTION AND EUROPEAN LAW.
DO YOU THINK THERE IS A PLACE
FOR SHARIA IN THE WEST?
MY POSITION IS TO SAY LOOK,
SHARIA IS A WAY, IT IS A PATH
FOR EXAMPLE.
WHEN I AM IN SWITZERLAND OR IN
THE WEST, WE ARE EQUAL BEFORE
LAW.
MY UNDERSTANDING IS NOT A CLOSED
SYSTEM.
IT IS AN OPEN SYSTEM.
A BENIGN WAY FOR NON-MUSLIM
AUDIENCES.
IT IS A DIFFERENT STORY WHEN HE
SPEAKS TO MUSLIM.
"BROTHER TARIK" THEY HAVE -- IN
2003, A FRENCH COURT FOUND
LANGUAGE USED BY PREACHERS BY
RAMADAN CAN SERVE AS A FACTOR IN
SITING THEM TO ENGAGE IN VIOLENT
ACTS.
RAMADAN CAUSED AN UPROAR WITH
FORMER FRENCH PRESIDENT NICHOLAS
SARKOZY.
[ FOREIGN SPEAKING ]
CONTROVERSY CONTINUED TO FOLLOW
ROM DAN IN 2004 WHEN THE BUSH
ADMINISTRATION REVOKED HIS VISA.
I WAS SUPPORTING PALESTINIAN
ORGANIZATION.
THEY SAID IT WAS -- WOULD IT
BE HAMAS?
CONNECTED TO HAMAS.
I GAVE THE MONEY BETWEEN 1998
AND 2002.
HAMAS IS A U.S. DESIGNATED
TERRORIST ORGANIZATION.
POSITIONING OF HAMAS IS
LEGITIMATE RESISTANCE TO
MILITARY OCCUPATION. I AM
SAYING WHAT THEY ARE SAYING.
THEY ARE SAYING THAT THE
VIOLENCE OF ISRAELI ARMY IS
LEGITIMATE.
OVER THE YEARS, EIGHT
COUNTRIES, EGYPT AND SAUDI
ARABIA HAVE BARRED RAM DAN FOR
ALLEGED LINKS TO TERROR
ADMINISTRATION.
THE OBAMA LIFTED IT IN 2010.
HE TRAVELS FREELY IN THE UNITED
STATES.
BEING IN THE EUROPEAN
CULTURE, DOESN'T MEAN I AM NOT
GOING TO RESPECT THE PRINCIPLES
OF RELIGION.
IT IS BALANCING THOSE ISLAMIC
PRINCIPLES OF THOSE OF THE WEST.
ERICK STAKELBECK, CBN NEWS,
REPORTING FROM OXFORD,
UNIVERSITY.
FINALLY TONIGHT SOME CALL IT
A FASHION STATEMENT, OTHERS SAY
SAGGY PANTS HAVE GOT TO GO.
AMEN.
A NINE YEAR OLD OUT OF BROOKLYN
IS TAKING HIS PUBLIC SERVICE
ANNOUNCEMENT TO THE STREETS BY
WAY OF SONG.
*
[LAUGHTER].
LIL MAN HATES THE LOOK.
YOUNG RAPPER TEAMED UP TO MAKE A
VIDEO AGAINST THE TREND.
IT IS DISRESPECTING
THEMSELVES AND OTHERS WHO HAVE
TO WATCH THAT.
FOR A CHILD HIS AGE TO BRING
ATTENTION, IT SHOULD MAKE THE
OLDER KIDS FEEL ASHAMED.
HEY LITTLE MAN, LOOK, I AM
PULLING UP MY PANTS.
HE HAS BEEN RAPPING SINCE
FIVE AND A HALF.
HE HAS HIS PLATFORM.
ALL RIGHT.
PULL THEM UP OUT THERE.
THANKS FOR WATCHING.
SEE YOU TOMORROW.
