leaking of intelligence information to the New York Times. Here's more from the
AP: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/12187153/.
While that revelation rattled around Washington today, the Senate appeared to
reach a deal on illegal immigration. The AP has more:

Tonight on Hardball, Chris will talk with Sen. John Kerry (D-MA) about those
developments and much more. Kerry is calling for the removal of U.S. forces
from Iraq if Iraqis fail to form a unity government by May 15th. Chris also
will ask Kerry about running in 2008 and fighting for congressional control in
2006. Check out Kerry's editorial in Wednesday's New York Times:

Hardball's David Shuster will have more on the Libby news and attorney Dick
Sauber, who represents Time reporter Matt Cooper in the CIA leak probe, will be
here to talk about what it all means legally. Plus, Jon Meacham, author of
"American Gospel" and managing editor of Newsweek, will be here to talk about
religion and ethics in politics throughout American history. Learn more about

Also tonight, Rosie O'Donnell will join Chris to talk about some of the most
controversial topics in the political culture wars, such as marriage and
adoption for same-sex couples. A new documentary called "All Aboard!: Rosie's
