The Hardball Briefing On MSNBC
------------------------------------------------------
First up, the politics of the CIA investigation.
With the release of a report detailing interrogation tactics of the CIA, the
Obama administration has decided to launch a criminal investigation. And now,
former Vice President Dick Cheney has decided to react. We'll discuss the
politics of a probe and how it could impact President Obama's overall agenda
with syndicated columnist Tony Blankley and Air America's Ron Reagan.

Next up, fuel for the fringe
A new report by the Southern Poverty Law Center indicated that right wing
militias are back. What's the source of all this anger? We'll talk to Southern
Poverty Law Center's Mark Potok.

Plus, outrage grows.
Last week, the Scottish government released the Lockerbie bomber Abdel Baset
al-Megrahi because he has terminal cancer. Who made the call? Was it just his
health that made it happen? We'll talk to The Telegraph's Con Coughlin on the
possibility of a deal.

Finally, in the Politics Fix, Politico's Jonathan Martin and the Washington
Post's Anne Kornblut will talk about the New York governor's race, President
Obama's decision to keep Ben Bernanke as the Fed chairman, and the rest of the
day's political news.
