The Hardball Briefing On MSNBC
------------------------------------------------------
Tonight Chris goes one on one with White House Counselor Dan Bartlett on the
leak investigation, the kerfuffle in the Senate and what it means for the
debate over Iraq...There'll be other hot topics but Chris is quite
unpredictable and you never know where he might go...That's what makes the show
so fun...
Of course we'll get into that blockbuster story on the front of the Post about
the secret CIA "black sites."
Ranking Dem Senator Jay Rockefeller stops by to discuss "Phase II" of the Iraq
intel investigation....This is the issue Dems were crying about yesterday
during the closed session...Phase II of the investigation (of how the Iraq
intel was wrong) deals with how policy makers (i.e. The Bush administration)
handled, shaped and sold that Intel which took us to war...You can see why
Republicans don't want this investigation and why The White House wouldn't
either...And by the way, what does Libby's indictment and his handling of the
intel tell us about how to we went to war? What did the infamous "White House
Iraq Group" do to sell the war?
Later in this show we talk to Jimmy Carter, who is flogging a new book "Our
Endangered Values : America's Moral Crisis"...He was on the Today show blasting
at the Administration...

We wrap things up with DeeDee and Nick Calio, President Bush's top lobbyist on
the Hill from 2001-2003...Should be a good one...
Please join us...
