Original Source: CNN NEWSROOM
KYRA PHILLIPS, CNN ANCHOR: Hello, everyone. I'm Don Lemon, live at CNN world headquarters in Atlanta.
FREDRICKA WHITFIELD, CNN CORRESPONDENT: And I'm Fredricka Whitfield, in for Kyra Phillips, who is on assignment.
Combat duty in Iraq. Troops who are deployed or soon to be, well, this is not exactly what they want to hear. Hear it straight from the defense secretary coming up. We're live from the Pentagon.
LEMON: And the words are rush to accuse -- three college athletes called innocent victims and charges against them dropped. You're live in the CNN NEWSROOM.
It is the top of the hour. Insufficient evidence to proceed -- the case is over, the words -- those words spoken today in the sexual assault case against three former Duke University lacrosse players. The North Carolina attorney general made the announcement just moments ago, declaring the players are innocent and that no attack occurred.
