administration's coverup of a murderous ambush during her
hostage rescue, but Italy's conservative Prime Minister has
a weak response to the report while he faces a corruption
probe of his own; Iraqi politicians have a proposed set of
cabinet members, but as in the US-controlled elections, the
actual names are being kept secret; a study concludes there
were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq or Syria, and
Syrian troops in Lebanon have now left the building. Robert
