Racism in the US military ranks? Reuters's Daniel Trotta on his report
A new article suggests white supremists could be using the U.S. military as a training ground.
Reuters reports that white supremacists, neo-Nazis and skinhead groups are encouraging followers to enlist and acquire military skills for future battles. The story is taking on more immediacy given the recent events in Wisconsin, where former U.S. Army soldier Wade Page killed six people at a Sikh temple and was also well-known in the white supremacist music scene.
This morning on "Early Start," Reuters's Daniel Trotta explains his report looking at how the US military has responded to violent racists in the ranks.

Navarro: Still time for Akin to withdraw from Missouri Senate Race
(CNN) - Republican Rep. Todd Akin allowed a state deadline to pass Tuesday, defiantly staying in the race to unseat Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill despite mounting calls for him to withdraw over incendiary remarks on rape and pregnancy.
Under Missouri law, Akin would now need to get a court order to pull out of the race as he waited beyond the 5 p.m. deadline. He would also be required to pay for any necessary reprinting of ballots.
But Akin said he has no plans to drop out. He cited what he called a grassroots conservative movement in the country that needs a voice in government for his decision to reject increasing pressure from his own Republican Party, congressional colleagues and others to step aside.
But Republican party members still worry that Akin's presence in the Senate race will not only lose the seat for the party, but potentially affect Mitt Romney's chances of winning the state in the presidential election.
Today on "Early Start," CNN contributor & GOP strategist Ana Navarro looks at Rep. Todd Akin's decision to continue in the Missouri Senate race, and says there's still time for him to drop out of the race.
Clarence House: That's the real Prince Harry in naked party photos in Las Vegas
CNN) - What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas - unless you're Prince Harry and TMZ publishes pictures of you cavorting naked during a game of strip billiards.
The tabloid website posted the photos online Tuesday night. It said the romp featuring the royal, who is third in line to the throne, took place four days earlier at a "high rollers hotel suite" on the Las Vegas strip.
One photo shows Harry, stark naked but for a wristwatch and a necklace. His hands cup his genitals. His face is turned toward the television set in the suite. And his body partially shields that of another person, also naked.
A second picture shows him hugging a woman from behind next to a pool table. Both are naked.
CNN this morning received confirmation from Clarence House that the man in the photo is in fact Prince Harry, and not a look alike as some speculated.
This morning on "Early Start," Dan Rivers explains the uproar after Prince Harry was photographed nude in Las Vegas.
