The Hardball Briefing On MSNBC
------------------------------------------------------
Tonight on Hardball, Chris talks with Homeland Security Secretary Michael
Chertoff about the state of our national security just days before the fifth
anniversary of 9/11. President Bush says we're safer, but not safe yet. When
will we be safe? How long will that take?
To mark the fifth anniversary of 9/11, Chris will anchor an MSNBC Living
History Special at 10 p.m. Eastern on Monday called "9/11: Five Years Later,"
featuring remembrances of that fateful day by some of our country's most
well-known leaders and citizens. Tonight, we'll preview this special with a
portion of Chris' conversation with former Secretary of State Colin Powell.
It's a rare opportunity to hear him talk about his experience on that day and
how he thinks it has affected our country. Find out more about the special and

focus on Iraq through the last 60 days of the campaign. Plus Newsweek's Michael
Isikoff and The Nation's David Corn will talk about the fight for power in 2006
