------------------------------------------------------ The Hardball Briefing On MSNBC ------------------------------------------------------ Tonight, Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Joe Biden (DE) plays Hardball! After more than three decades in Washington, Biden's written a new book, "Promises to Keep: On Life and Politics." Will all that experience help him in guest host Mike Barnicle's Hardball hot seat? Tune in and find out! Plus, the big headline today, did the Pentagon try to cover-up what killed Army Ranger Pat Tillman? For the first time since he was replaced by Robert Gates, former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld tells a House committee what he knew about the Tillman investigation. We'll get a full report from Hardball correspondent David Shuster and retired Army Col. Jack Jacobs will be here to share his insight. Then, Tillman lost his life fighting for freedom in Iraq and Afghanistan. Has U.S. progress been worth the cost? Is the surge working? We'll see a hot debate between Jon Soltz, co-founder and chairman of VoteVets.org and Eric Egland from Vets for Freedom. And the newest NBC-Wall Street Journal poll is out and the latest numbers show Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) surging. We'll talk about what it all means and dig into all the news from the campaign trail with tonight's Hardball Panel: Newsweek's Holly Bailey, Republican consultant John Feehery, and Chris Cillizza from the washingtonpost.com.
