The Hardball Briefing On MSNBC
------------------------------------------------------
The Hardball HotShots are ready to roll for our weekly wrap-up of what was and
what will be. MSNBC's Tucker Carlson, Rita Cosby, and Joe Scarborough will join
Chris to talk about the NSA database debate, new White House Press Secretary
Tony Snow's first week on the job, President Bush's latest poll problems, and
much more!
Also tonight, Chris will have the latest on the FBI's raid today of outgoing
top CIA official Kyle "Dusty" Foggo's home and offices. What are they looking
for? Why are several government agencies investigating Foggo? NBC News
Investigative Producer Bob Windrem will join Chris with the latest. Read a

Attorney Dick Sauber, former federal prosecutor and an expert on intelligence
