Life and death stories from Haiti as our special correspondent
returns to the studio for a report back on the worsening situation
in one of the poorest countries in the world; also, three
diplomats and two wounded in the last three days of fighting
in Iraq, we'll feature an in-depth discussion of where the
war and occupation is now and where it's going; plus, will
the Republicans try and jam John Bolton through for a backdoor
recess appointment, a look at the expanding war in Colombia;
and from exile, the Knight Report;
5:01 PM PST
The Knight Report: The Bush administration precision-bombs
a civilian compound in Afghanistan, killing as many Afghans
as the number of US Special Forces lost in last week's Taliban
shoot-down of a rescue helicopter; two members of the lost
Navy Seal team that prompted the abortive attempt are dead,
with one recovered from sanctuary with a tribal leader; Britain
is preparing to shift troops to Afghanistan from Iraq; the
Iraqi resistance targets foreign diplomats cooperating with
the US occupation, and denies reports of new mergers and PR
appointments; for the third time in a row former Chilean dictator
Augusto Pinochet suffers yet another alleged stroke one day
before his hearing on his prosecutorial immunity syndrome;
and the torture-tolerant US Attorney-General Alberto Gonzales
celebrated the Fourth of July in what he thinks is the free
and democratic Iraq. Robert Knight
