Patrick Swayze died a few hours ago.
We at 360 are all sad to hear he lost his brave fight with pancreatic cancer. Safe to say so many people around the world were hoping and praying for him and his family. His story is remarkable—and it feels like we were all there fighting with him, in large part because of the memorable interview our friend Barbara Walters of ABC News did with him after his diagnosis. Anderson just spoke with Barbara for tonight’s broadcast—and once again…Barbara provides such a meaningful perspective.

Excerpts from Anderson's conversation with Barbara Walters
Barbara Walters:
“I’m heartsick, mostly for his wife Lisa. This was one of the most enduring marriages, 34 years.”

The Obama administration is in the process of establishing new procedures that could allow prisoners to challenge their detentions at a U.S. facility in Afghanistan, according to Pentagon spokesman Bryan Whitman.
For the first time at the Bagram Air Base detention facility, detainees will be given representatives who will help them prepare their cases.
Under the new policy, which was decided in July, a first review of a detainee's status will come within 60 days of detention, Whitman explained. They will have a military person appointed as a "personal representative" who can shepherd them through the process and help gather witness statements, although it's not at all clear how that would happen.
Those already in detention will be given a personal representative to assist them in front of a review board for their appearances every six months.

An autopsy confirms the body found in a Yale University medical research building over the weekend is that of Annie Le, a grad student who vanished last week.
The 24-year-old was supposed to get married on Sunday, the day her body was found hidden in the basement of the building. Investigators also found bloody clothes hidden in a drop ceiling. A Yale professor tells CNN the circumstances in the case suggest there could be a "murderer among us." Tonight we'll have the latest on the investigation.
We're also digging deeper on the political rage in America. Did you see the anti-Obama march on Saturday in Washington? I'm sure you remember Rep. Joe Wilson calling Pres. Obama as he gave a speech on health care to Congress last week. What's fueling the outbursts? We're talk it over with our political panel.
Join us for these stories and much more starting at 10pm ET. See you then!

The conservative advocacy group began its trip in Sacramento, California, and made its way across the country, hosting rallies in about 30 cities. Washington was the final destination. Members gathered on the west side of the Capitol on Saturday.

The collapse of Lehman led to a deeper recession and a litany of government programs to try to end the pain. We rate just how bold and effective the plans have been so far.
Financial Dispatch: One Year Ago

It was the end of Wall Street as we knew it and the beginning of the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression. One year ago today it became clear Lehman Brothers – a storied investment bank saddled with billions of dollars in risky investments – could not find a buyer, would not be saved by the federal government, and would have to file for bankruptcy protection (note: the anniversary of the bankruptcy filing is September 15th).
As we mark the occasion, President Obama is scheduled to give a speech on the crisis today at Federal Hall, a stone’s throw from the New York Stock Exchange. Mr. Obama – in the 12:00 p.m. speech – is expected to talk about the Administration’s plan to wind down government involvement in the financial sector, to lay out a strong case for immediate action on regulatory reform, including dealing with the touchy “too big to fail” question, executive pay, and reiterate the importance of global coordination in preventing future crises.
We have full coverage of the speech and the Lehman anniversary today.
