------------------------------------------------------
First up, missed signals?
Did intelligence fail to stop the massacre at Fort Hood? Major Nidal Malik
Hasan was in contact with a radical cleric in Yemen connected to two of the
9/11 hijackers. He made some hostile statements about the wars in Afghanistan
and Iraq as well. We'll analyze the new developments with former CIA case
officer Bob Baer and Time.com columnist Roger Cressey.

Next, abortion and the health care debate.
Could abortion be the Achilles' heel for health care reform? In order to pass
health care in the House, an anti-abortion amendment was added to the health
care legislation that puts new restrictions on abortion. Liberals are vowing
to defeat the bill if the restrictions survive. Can health care reform pass if
both sides are determine to kill a bill based on abortion? We'll ask
Congresswoman Diana DeGette (D-CO), Co-Chair of the Congressional Pro-Choice
Caucus, and Politico's Jonathan Allen to give us the latest on the Hill.

Obama Campaign Manager David Plouffe, author of "The Audacity to Win," on the
Campaign and Presidency of Barack Obama.
