The Nightly Quickie Edition.

Five passengers detained at Newark Airport; if it isn't obvious by now, fear is a great tool of oppressive governments.

Ground Zero Memorial in jeopardy; politics and ignorance trump remembering the dead.

E-Mails show effort to fudge cost of DeLay's Scotland trip; lying/cover-up + Abramoff + lobbying dollars = definite GOP scandal.

U.S. grants asylum to refugees from North Korea; it seems fiery rhetoric has slowed down between the two countries, time to use diplomacy and throw 5 gallons of gas on the diplomatic fire.

Lawmakers want more data on contracting out intelligence; Bush puts "for sale" sign on White House lawn, selling entire country on Craigslist.

Hayden faces Senate and CIA hurdles if named for C.I.A. director post; what things you ask? Just little things like not believing in or upholding the 4th Amendment for starters.

Firms harvesting energy from public land may owe U.S.; knowing the connection between Dick Cheney and big energy companies, this investigation is going to go really far.

PoliticalCorrectness? out.
