Big news inside the beltway as Colin Powell resigns from the cabinet...We all
knew it was coming but not necessarily this soon...Who'll succeed him? A
Neocon hawk or a moderate? His pick may be a telltale sign of where the war in
Iraq & war on terror will go...Will the religious right call in their mark as
the feminists did with Madeleine Albright?
We'll get the story behind the story with Andrea and then talk to one of the
Neocon's top intellectual leaders, Richard Perle...
We'll also get a report from Time Mag's Michael Ware, reporting from the
frontlines of Fallujah...
Then in the back half we'll get into our highly toutly and much promo-ed "The
Passion Of The Right" special with Newsweek's Jon Meacham, Pat Buchanan,
Richard Land of the Southern Baptist Convention and Jim Wallis of "Call to
Renewal", an umbrella group of Christian groups dedicated to fighting
poverty...We'll look at the role of religion and faith in politics and the Bush
administration...Please join us...
