Bill Moyers and Michael Winship, Moyers & Company: The 2000th member of the American military recently died in Afghanistan. There are two more presidential debates, and the question that needs to be posed to Romney and Obama is: "Why are we killing the kids that don't need to die?"

In today's On the News segment: New Mexico's Attorney General Gary King will not put up with right-wing voter suppression efforts in his state; in a dozen cities across the nation on Tuesday, dozens of Walmart workers walked off the job in solidarity with other striking Walmart employees; a new study shows that most of the "dark money" this election season is not being used in the presidential race - it's being used in congressional and state races; and more.
