Last night Keith had this to say... "You heard, of course, of the President's remarks this week that, quoting him, 'If you listen closely to some of the leaders of the Democratic Party, it sounds like they think the best way to protect the American people is, wait until we're attacked again.' It's an extraordinary statement, and an outrageous one... Which again calls into question the honesty -- even the collective emotional health -- of Mr. Bush's Administration." Don't miss Keith's Special Comment tonight. Preview to follow. Countdown w/ Keith Olbermann broadcasts LIVE at 8 pm et, and the count is never complete without you. Join us. The House Ethics Committee opened an investigation Thursday into the unfolding scandal over Rep. Mark Foley's come-ons to congressional pages and accusations even by some Republicans that House speaker Dennis Hastert failed to protect the teens. The committee, evenly divided between Republicans and Democrats, sat in closed session to take up a matter that imperils Hastert's leadership and has stirred extraordinary GOP infighting with midterm elections barely a month away. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/15137796/ Hastert expected to speak about it today. In an interview with the Tribune on Wednesday night, Hastert said he had no thoughts of resigning and he blamed ABC News and Democratic operatives for the mushrooming scandal that threatens his tenure as speaker and Republicans' hold on power in the House. http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/chi-0610050132oct05,1,1265597.story?coll=chi-news-hed&ctrack=1&cset=true If this is the strategy Hastert is planning, he might be wise to re-think it. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice flew into Baghdad on Thursday for a surprise visit to press Iraqi leaders to resolve their differences and ease raging sectarian violence that has killed thousands. Rice, whose last visit to Baghdad in April was credited with pressuring Iraqi leaders to form the national unity coalition under Maliki, is likely to discuss its progress - or lack of it - in curbing violence by rival Sunni and Shiite groups in Baghdad that is killing hundreds of people a week. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/11942057/ Horse-drawn buggies clip-clopped past roadblocks Thursday morning as Amish families gathered to bury four of the five young girls gunned down inside their tiny rural schoolhouse. All roads leading into the village of Nickel Mines, where a milk truck driver took 10 girls hostage and opened fire, were blocked off for the funerals. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/15134838/ Beaming people in Star Trek fashion is still in the realms of science fiction, but physicists in Denmark have teleported information from light to matter - bringing quantum communication and computing closer to reality. http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/0,21985,20527963-5005961,00.html That's some of what we're planning for tonight's show. -- Carey Fox Countdown Home: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3036677/ Other News: The U.N.
