‘I screwed, and here was the kid.’ With his new memoir set for release, Arnold gives his most revealing interview ever to The Daily Beast’s Laurence Leamer. Plus, A.L. Bardach talks to friends and former staffers who say Arnold's affair timeline still doesn't add up.

TERROR

3 service members as well as at least ten Afghan civilians and police officers were killed on Monday when a suicide bomber detonated himself in Khost City. Soldiers from Afghanistan as well as members of the international coalition in the country were conducting a patrol in the area at the time of the bombing. The Taliban released a statement saying “the attack was carried out with a suicide vest worn by one of our hero Mujahid, named Shoiab Kunduzi.” 60 people were reportedly wounded in the explosion.

OBAMA

Heading into the debates, an Obama victory on Election Day is looking likely. But what if he doesn’t just win, but wins huge? Michael Tomasky on the consequences of a landslide.

11.4 PERCENT

Unemployment in the euro zone hit a record 11.4 percent on Monday while a new factory report showed that manufacturing dipped again, an indication that a new recession may be settling in. Unemployment in the seventeen nations using the common currency hit the record level in August, and numbers for June and July were revised up to the same level on Monday. Experts say that insufficient growth and the continuing debt crisis have created a situation where unemployment is now even spreading to countries like Germany that had once been thought protected. While unemployment in Germany stayed level at 5.5 percent, the rate of people out of work in Spain climbed to 25.1 percent, the highest of any euro-zone nation.

BENGHAZI

American officials may have had a false sense of security in Libya before the recent attack at the consulate in Benghazi. The diplomatic team there may have come to rely too heavily on Libyan security guards who had only recently been trained. The Libyan guards responded effectively to a minor bombing in June in Benghazi. “That the local security did so well back in June probably gave us a false sense of security,” an American official said. “We may have fooled ourselves.” A Special Forces team visited the compound in April to beef up its security team and conduct a review of the consulate’s defenses.
